The bluestone long street is lined with pavilions.
The city is bustling with people carrying burdens, driving carts, setting up stalls, and shouting and hawking. People come and go in sedan chairs and cars. Young scholars stand on the stone arch bridge and recite poems and compose poems to compete for talent. The awning boats sway under the bridge, and the city is prosperous in the world.
Under the willow tree by the river.
A girl with freckles in a straw hat and a little boy squatted together and chattered.
Bai Yu raised his hand and gestured towards the crowded street.
"Fighting is just a part of life. There are many things you can do. For example, make money, buy food and drink, and be free. Don't mention robbery. It's fun to use your brain to find business opportunities. As long as you are willing to use your brain, you can find anything. See, there is gold everywhere here. It’s delicious food.”
"Zhizhi, delicious and delicious~"
Although the monkey doesn't understand, he thinks it's very powerful. The white dragon has a big head and knows a lot.
"To make money, you must first start from the very basics, lay a solid foundation step by step, and one day you will eventually become a wealthy businessman."
"Squeak, rich businessman, rich businessman~"
Moubai was very satisfied with the monkey's learning attitude and casually swatted a fly flying around to death.
"Very good, I'll teach you the first lesson today, how about... Hey, I'll go! You're not a gecko, why would you eat a fly! Taitai, hurry up and spit it out!"
The monkey scratched the back of his head and looked at the flies on the ground.
"The easiest and least technical way to get money is to beg, yes, to beg for money."
"Squeak? Beg?"
"It's almost dinner time in the afternoon, and it's too late to beg for money. Go eat first, and I'll teach you how to beg for money before the sun rises tomorrow morning."
"Eat eat eat~"
The two beasts who had been squatting by the river chattering for a long time ran to a restaurant to book a table, eat all kinds of things and live a real life of gods. Take pills? The two of them said that whoever wanted to eat could eat it. Since they were not interested in that stuff anyway, they might as well make a pot of meat and bone soup that was delicious, tasty and delicious. To this day, Bai Yu could not forget the pot of soup in Tushita Palace.
Night falls.
Find a place with a willow tree next to a well and spend the night.
Monkeys sleep happily in the trees, chirping occasionally to drive away mosquitoes, and a certain white dragon lives in an ancient well under the tree. Tomorrow, the water in this well will be comparable to a spiritual spring, and ordinary people can drink it to stay healthy...
The sky was white with fish bellies, and two sneaky figures came under the willow tree by the river where they stayed yesterday. The monkey was very excited.
Bai Yu skillfully took out a broken straw mat and spread it on the ground, yawned and lay down. He had been unable to get a good sleep from running around recently, so he could take the opportunity to sleep until night.
He covered his face with a tattered coarse cloth cloak and a straw hat, and lay down straight.
After thinking for a while, he took out a broken bowl with a gap and placed it in front of him.
"Brother Monkey, if you stand nearby and play with the stick, you are guaranteed to get a lot of money today. I'm going to sleep first. Remember not to leave and just squat here."
"Zhizhi, I know."
Cover the broken straw hat and breathe slowly and slowly...
It is better to sleep on the roadside with a broken straw mat and a broken straw hat, but it always feels inappropriate to use a silk quilt.
The sun rises slowly. Shops on both sides of the street have removed their door panels and are preparing to open for business. Wontons are spread out in pots and steamed buns are steaming in the baskets. Farmers carrying fresh vegetables into the city argue with local gangsters who are unwilling to pay protection money. Old and young men stay overnight in brothels. Going out with dark circles and makeup under your eyes.
The monkey scratched the back of his hand and looked curiously at the human world, very curious.
The sun is warm and bright, and there are more and more people on the street. I also noticed the scene under the tree.
Soon, people gathered around.
"Oh, it's so pitiful. How can you live without leaving a baby behind?"
Dang rang~
A copper coin was thrown into a broken bowl.
The curious monkey opened his mouth in surprise. He had seen those people using this thing to buy buns to eat. It turned out that he could really get money for nothing! Bailong is so awesome!
Immediately he screamed and scratched his head and ears with joy.
"It's pitiful. The adults are gone, and the baby is still a fool. Alas, it's all fate..."
"Yeah yeah……"
"The government won't spend money on burial. They would rather scrape the ground, knock on the bones and suck out the marrow. I don't know what kind of heartless man doesn't care about the life or death of the mother-in-law. Seeing how thin she is, she must not have had enough to eat in a long time..."
The passers-by sighed, the rich threw a copper coin and the poor said a few words. The ruffian and street bully were too embarrassed to grab the few coins. At most, they bought a few steamed buns, why bother letting people poke their spines? Slowly, they gained a little bit, monkey. He just giggled and never said anything that a good person will have a safe life. It seems that Bai Bai didn't teach him anything.
The sun steadily drifted toward the west, flying from the sky above the east city gate to overhead, and then headed west again.
The red sun is setting in the west and its shadows are long, the delicious food is floating in every house, and the monkey is very happy holding a bowl of copper coins. It seems that making money is not difficult.
"Yawn~"
Bai Yu, who had been sleeping all day, took off his old straw hat and stood up, stretching.
He looked left and right and finally came back to his senses with his eyes focused. When he saw the bowl of copper coins, his head was stunned. Did this monkey really get money?
"Zhizhi, Bai, let's go eat hot steamed buns!"
"How...how do you ask for money?"
"Just keep squatting here. I can't handle trivial matters, they're all money~"
Moubai looked at the position where he was squatting, then looked at his clothes and straw mat, and suddenly slapped his forehead. Come on, he was buried as a beggar, and it was God's will.
"Hi~ I want to be quiet..."
"Squeak~quietly~"
So far, Bai Yu has been very successful in transforming the monkey's madness. Although the path has been a bit twisty, in the end, he no longer aims at fighting and killing. The world is so wonderful, why bother to attract the attention of the big guys and let yourself fall into a trap? Since it is You have to help friends when they need help, and you have to be worthy of the word friend.
The first day of begging for money was a complete success, but the road ahead was still long.
After a few days, Bai Yu felt that he had almost learned the basics and it was time to start his real career as a merchant.
Use an iron ingot to pull out a cylinder, put an iron bar across it, light a charcoal fire and sell roasted sweet potatoes. In the mountains, these things are similar to sweet potatoes, so let's call them sweet potatoes, and spit out dragon's fire to light the fire.
Phew~
The two guys looked at the deep pit in front of them that was burned by dragon flames and scratched their heads. The stove was completely destroyed.
The second time, Bai Yu learned the lesson.
Qiao Nose sneezed, and a few sparks fell into the stove to ignite the black coals. The monkey jumped happily. I wonder if beasts and fairies have the habit of playing with fire. The monkey eyes watched with anticipation as the sweet potatoes gradually began to release their fragrance...
"Squeak! Fragrant! Delicious!"
"Wait a minute... I'll go. The taste of undercooked is far away. Just wait and don't move."
Finally, several fragrant roasted sweet potatoes came out of the oven. The monkey imitated Bai Yu, tossing and blowing with both hands, and gently peeled off the skin, revealing the orange-red sweet potatoes inside. The monkey took a bite, and the aroma reached the monkey brain kernels. Son.
It turns out that food cooked over fire is delicious!
Next, Bai Yu watched expressionlessly as the monkey roasted peaches, apples, branches and leaves over charcoal fire, and finally roasted a piece of sugar cane. The taste of roasted sugar cane was really unique.
"The most important thing in doing business is to shout. Don't be embarrassed. Making money is the right thing to do."
“Grilled sweet potatoes ~ Fragrant grilled sweet potatoes ~”
"Come and learn it again."
Bai Yu encouraged the monkey, and the monkey scratched its ears and cheeks in excitement and even ate the sweet potato skin.
"Zhi~zhizhizhi~zhi~"
"Brother, speaking in human terms, the monkeys in front of you are all humans."
