Yang Jin had long been paying attention to these people at the entrance of the alley. At this time, he walked to the street and waved to a thin-faced young man with a few patches but clean clothes to come over:
“I just moved here and I don’t have the manpower to go shopping in the East Market.
How much does it cost in total for you to take a trip for me and buy everything? "
"Look, sir, what do you want to buy?"
"You look like a person who has read books. Are you literate?"
"I know a few."
"Then you come in with me!"
Yang Jin led the young man to the concierge, pointed to the four treasures of the study on the concierge's table and said:
"I told you to memorize it, and then look at it after you finish memorizing it.
Take a look and see if you can buy these things?
If you can, please help me buy all these things and send them over.
Also, you can calculate the extra fees later, and I will give you the money together! "
Although Yang Jin studied with Zhang Youfu for a few days, he knew a lot of words.
But if he is asked to write now as soon as he picks up his pen, that is still looking down upon him.
He can read well now, but he can't write with the brush yet.
Because Yang Jin has the help of Chinese Pinyin, she can read and write very quickly now.
After seven or eight days, I knew almost 1,500 words.
To put it into perspective, the speed of character recognition can be said to be very fast, considering that the number of commonly used characters is only around 4,000.
With Yang Jin's current literacy speed, he can recognize all common characters in a month.
After that, in this world, at least he won't have any problem with basic reading and writing.
In other words, if you master the reading and writing of all commonly used words, you will have the level of primary school education in this world.
It is almost comparable to the average person in this world who knows characters.
The reason why Yang Jin can recognize characters so quickly is that, first, the characters in this world are also hieroglyphics.
They are also divided into radicals, which have similar physical and phonetic characteristics, and are very similar to traditional Chinese characters in ancient China.
Based on Yang Jin's college level in his previous life, there is logic to follow when mastering it, and it is not so groundless to follow when learning.
Another thing is that Yang Jin has a cheating artifact, which is the Chinese Pinyin that the primary school students in her previous life knew.
He now annotates every word he has learned with the Chinese pinyin and the synonymous simplified Chinese characters.
Regarding the use of simple Chinese characters, he is no longer afraid of being suspected.
Because everyone may have his own literacy method, it is not surprising that he uses this method to learn.
With the help of Chinese pinyin and simplified Chinese characters, he almost had a Chinese character dictionary of the world of martial arts.
Yang Jin also admired his ability to learn and apply it flexibly. Mr. Xin was very proud of himself. He, Yang, was truly a clever little guy!
Although Yang Jin is literate, he can't write a word well.
In his previous life, he rarely wrote with handwriting, and he mostly typed on computers for office work.
Not to mention brush calligraphy, which is a very professional soft-pen calligraphy. Except for those who have specially practiced it, few people can write it.
The young man seems to have read a lot. Not only is his hand writing with a brush, but he is also very energetic.
Moreover, he could also shoot the bow left and right, so he could do two things at once. He held a brush in each hand and kept writing what Yang Jin said on the paper.
After writing a stick of incense, the young man finished writing all the things Yang Jin said. He wrote a total of six pieces of paper.
He handed three of them to Yang Jin and said: "Sir, I have written down all the things you want to buy on this. Please keep these three for your records."
These three pictures are for me to buy things and wait for them to be delivered.
Let’s reconcile the accounts again. What do you think? "
Young people are very cautious and considerate in doing things.
However, he seemed to have thought of something difficult, and said with some embarrassment:
“Sir, you have a lot to buy.
It's getting late today. If I had to buy something and send it back today, I wouldn't be able to run away by myself.
I still have to ask one more person to come with me in time, and the foot money totals one hundred and twenty dollars. "
The young man glanced at Yang Jin and was a little worried about exaggerating the foot power money.
"We need to buy all these things. We have to travel to several places, and you are in a hurry to use them!"
“Okay, I’ll do as you say!
I need something urgently here, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a little more expensive, as long as I keep good accounts!
You go buy the things for me first, and I'll pay you the remaining money when you come back. "
Yang Jin handed a twelve-weight silver ingot to the young man.
Cheng Yang, Dai Bin, and Jiang Feng continued to clean the yard inside.
As a woman, Cheng Qing was frail and could not do heavy work, so Yang Jin asked her to stay with him and serve him.
This is something he plans to cultivate himself and become a candidate for assistant secretary in the future.
Cheng Qing couldn't help but feel worried when she saw Yang Jin standing in front of the concierge, handing a twelve-weight silver ingot to a stranger so casually to buy something.
When the idle young men walked out of the door, they couldn't help but come over and remind Yang Jin in a low voice:
"Sir, do you trust this person too much?
Why aren't you worried that he won't come back after taking the money?
Besides, he was not asked to write a receipt for taking the money. What if he took the money and refused to acknowledge it?
He may not be able to earn so much money in half a year!
There are also these helpers in the west of the city.
I usually earn some running money, but sometimes I get bold and do things like theft and robbery, which are no different from bandits and robbers.
Most of them are in cliques, and we don’t even have their identities or addresses.
He just turned around and squeezed our money, and we had nowhere to look for him.
Even if we find him in the future and he insists that we never gave him any money, we can't do anything to him? "
Yang Jin glanced at Cheng Qing in surprise. He didn't expect this teenage girl to be so thoughtful.
Although he had a plan in mind, he still pretended to be innocent.
Just listen to what he said: "As the saying goes, don't use the people you doubt, but don't trust the people you employ!
Just because the other person is a stranger we meet for the first time, we naturally cannot be suspicious casually. "
Yang Jin's words were beautiful, but she thought to herself: "What I'm waiting for is that he squandered his money and won't get it back!
If you dare to squander Mr. Yang's money, it depends on whether you can withstand Mr. Yang's next method! "
Cheng Qing was a little speechless, thinking that Yang Jin had really gotten lucky and became a member of the God Catcher. It is true that the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change!
When he was a beggar, he was timid and cowardly. Every time he got into a group fight, he would be the slowest and the fastest, and he would always get bullied.
Now I have become a person who is caught by the gods. I didn't expect to be so cowardly and naive. It is really easy to change the situation and the nature is hard to change!
But then he thought again, "Yang Jin dared to let a stranger take the money and leave. Could it be that he was relying on the Shenzhenmen's sign?
But why didn't you see him just now? Why didn't you show the young man the Shenzai Sect's waistband?
However, even if you want to scare people with the sign of God catching the door, you still have to find that person!
When Cheng Qing saw Yang Jin holding a pen and looking like he was about to practice calligraphy, she left angrily and ran to the main room in the backyard.
I saw Cheng Yang, Dai Bin and the others were still cleaning the yard.
She knew that Dai Bin had always been smart and smart, so she told him what had just happened.
Cheng Qing said worriedly: "Master, why doesn't he know how to guard against others?
Even if you become a member of the Divine Catcher, you will receive a salary.
But there are so many of us, and there are so many mouths, it all costs a lot of money.
It’s too late to live a careful life, so why are you so careless and deceived by others? "
When Dai Bin heard this, he knew what Cheng Qing meant by telling him this, so he put down what he was doing.
"You guys do it first, I'll go find the young master in front and see what's going on."
Dai Bin came to the gatehouse in the front yard and saw Yang Jin squatting on horseback, practicing calligraphy with his arms hanging.
He walked over and asked Yang Jin in a low voice: "Sir, Cheng Qing is a little worried that that person is unreliable. Do you want me to go out and follow him?
I am very familiar with people's affairs and will not be discovered by him. "
"No, we are not familiar with the place of life and death in Dongcheng, so we shouldn't cause too many troubles!
Besides, you are not dressing like a beggar and following others like you are now.
It will be very obvious when walking in the crowd and it will be difficult to hide. It is better to wait until he gets greedy for money! "
Yang Jin stopped the pen in his hand, took a deep breath, and said with a smile.
Dai Bin saw that Yang Jin didn't look anxious at all, but he looked forward to the fact that others would take the money and never come back again, which was very confusing.
But he has always been smart and discerning, so he naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask.
He had heard from slaves of wealthy families about the rules in wealthy mansions.
That is, you should know what the master wants you to know, and ask less about what you are not supposed to know. Knowing too much is a curse rather than a blessing.
He still doesn't know much about his new master, Yang Jin, so it's best to obey his orders.
Dai Bin saw that Yang Jin had nothing important to give him at the moment, so he wanted to leave and continue cleaning the room.
This house is really too big. In the past half day, they have just cleaned out the yard where Yang Jin will live.
But seeing that Yang Jin was now covered in sweat and his face was a little red, he quickly twisted out a wet towel and handed it to Yang Jin to wipe away the sweat.
He felt a little strange, "Why does it take so much effort to practice calligraphy?
I just wrote a few words on paper, why am I sweating so much? "
Yang Jin took the wet towel handed over by Dai Bin, feeling somewhat satisfied.
"This Dai Bin is indeed very discerning and knows how to measure things. He can tell the truth with just one point. He deserves to be cultivated.
Your plan needs a few capable tools to execute it, and Dai Bin is a very good person! "
Yang Jin wiped his face with a towel and felt much better.
But the originally white towel turned black and dirty as soon as he wiped it on his face.
Yang Jin rinsed the towel in his hand calmly in the basin.
Then he said to Dai Bin: "Dai Bin, I have to go back to Shenmenmen later.
If you four have nothing to do, don't go out easily. I will bring you dinner back.
However, after you buy everything tomorrow, you will have to prepare the meals yourself.
Maybe I will be late when I come back tonight, don't worry!
If that person comes back from shopping for Xiancai and you leave him here waiting for me, just say that I have something to tell him.
Okay, I'm leaving, you go and do your business!
Remember what I said! "
"Yes, sir!"
After Yang Jin finished speaking, when Dai Bin nodded in understanding, he picked up the baggage beside him and walked out.
