"It's on fire, the hot air balloon is on fire!"
Yin Wu looked at the hot air balloon that turned into a ball of flame. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He ran to the rope holding the hot air balloon and planned to pull the hot air balloon down.
Unfortunately, the hot air balloon's air bag was made of flammable silk, and it burned completely within a short time and fell from the sky.
If Yao Chen hadn't pulled Yin Wu back in time, he would have been almost hit by the falling flames.
Yin Wu looked at Yao Chen anxiously and said, "Uncle Medicine Master, think of a solution quickly. If it continues to burn, there will be nothing left."
"It's gone if it's gone!"
Jiang Yifeng smiled disapprovingly and said: "The purpose of our experiment was to make the hot air balloon fly. Now that it has flown, we have succeeded."
Yin Wu felt a pain in his body, "But...but that's more than two hundred taels of silver!"
The corners of Jiang Yifeng's mouth turned up slightly and he patted Yin Wu on the shoulder, "Doing research and making inventions is just burning money. Just get used to it."
Having said this, he glanced at the still burning hot air balloon and his expression became very serious: "You have to remember that no matter how big the loss is in the future, you are not allowed to put yourself in danger like today. Compared with money, , your life is more important to me."
Listening to Jiang Yifeng's words, Yin Wu felt a warm current surge into his heart, and tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.
Before that, he was completely dissatisfied with Jiang Yifeng. He felt that this young man who was younger than him was just richer than him and knew more things than him, so it was nothing special at all.
But at this moment, Jiang Yifeng's words made him realize how narrow-minded he had been before.
At this moment, a figure ran over quickly and shouted happily: "Brother-in-law, I'm here to see you."
Everyone looked for the sound and saw Su Dongchu running towards them.
Jiang Yifeng and Gong Shuchang were fine, but Yao Chen, Uncle Guishou, Yin Wu, and Zhang Litang had their eyes widened in disbelief.
Because they were surprised to find that Su Dongchu actually possessed the power of the Six Cauldrons at such a young age. This talent was something that only one in the Mo Sect would be born every few years.
"If you're not helping your sister in Su City, what are you doing in Coal Village?"
Now that the New Year is getting closer, Su Yingxue is very busy. Not only does she have to prepare New Year's goods, but she also has to discuss with her clan members how to worship their ancestors and go out with those families who have business dealings with the Su family.
In previous years, the father-in-law Su Renshan was responsible for these matters. Unfortunately, this year the father-in-law and mother-in-law went to visit friends, so Su Yingxue had to take Su Dongchu to complete it.
When he thought of this, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but sigh. It was not easy to visit friends in ancient times.
However, considering the transportation and road conditions of this era, he could understand it.
Not to mention the distance, it took him several months to escape from Yuzhou and come to Suzhou City. Even Yao Chen and others who knew martial arts took more than half a month to come from Yecheng to Suzhou City.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law were not in a hurry, and most likely walked leisurely and slowly on the road, spending most of their time on the road.
"I've finished all the things that need me, and the rest can be left to my sister." Su Dongchu said in a manly tone: "Besides being beautiful, this is all I have left."
"If these words reach your sister's ears, she will definitely beat you again."
Jiang Yifeng rolled his eyes at Su Dongchu and introduced to the others: "This is my brother-in-law Su Dongchu, the future Great Zhou Shixian and Six Cauldron Warrior."
The future Great Zhou Shixian?
Six tripod warriors?
Yao Chen raised his eyebrows, came to Su Dongchu, and asked: "Little brother, do you want to consider joining the Mo Sect? As long as you join the Mo Sect, I will ask Senior Brother Juzi to accept you as his disciple."
"Not interested in."
Su Dongchu raised his eyes and glanced at Yao Chen, and refused without hesitation.
When Jiang Yifeng saw this, he smiled slightly and was not surprised.
Although Su Dongchu is not weak in strength, in fact he doesn't like to practice martial arts. He can reach the current state simply because of his talent and just practice casually.
Of course, Su Dongchu didn't like studying even more. If Su Yingxue hadn't forced him all day long, he wouldn't have wanted to go to Yuelu Academy.
"Don't you want to be the best in the world?"
Yao Chen was stunned for a moment, then said seductively: "My senior brother Juzi is the number one master in the Great Zhou Dynasty. With your talent, you will become a great master before you turn fifty."
"Why should I become the best in the world?"
Su Dongchu looked at Yao Chen with a puzzled face, "My grandpa has been practicing all day long. He finally broke through to the master level and became an old man. So what if he becomes a master?"
"Look at my mother. My grandpa said that my mother was very talented and had great hope of becoming a master. However, she met my father and gave up on her cultivation."
"Although my mother did not become a grandmaster, she lived a very happy life. My father, the head of the Su family, has enough wealth to hire several grandmasters. However, as soon as my mother yelled, my father immediately knelt down in fear and admitted his mistake. Isn’t it better than becoming a Grandmaster?”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone had different expressions.
Jiang Yifeng could no longer listen. He thought to himself that his brother-in-law really dared to say anything. Aren't he afraid that his words would reach his father-in-law's ears and he would be beaten severely?
Yao Chen was speechless on the spot and didn't know how to refute for a long time.
"Brother Yaochen, I think it's better to forget it!"
Jiang Yifeng stepped forward with a smile on his face, "How old is Dong Chu? If you ask him to spend decades to become the best in the world, of course he will not agree."
"All right!"
Yao Chen sighed, hesitated for a few seconds, and took out a few medicine bottles, "Here are the medicinal ingredients to enhance the five senses. Originally, only Momen disciples can use it. I have a fate with you, so I will give you a chance." …Which of the five senses do you want to increase?”
"Can't you choose them all?"
Su Dongchu looked at the five medicine bottles and fell into a tangle.
"cannot!"
Yao Chen looked serious and said seriously: "The five senses cannot be enhanced casually, otherwise it will lead to confusion of the five senses."
Su Dongchu asked: "No exceptions?"
"have!"
Yao Chen paused and continued: "Senior brother Juzi has enhanced his vision, hearing, and touch at the same time, but that's because his talent is so evil that ordinary people can't compare with him."
"All right!"
Su Dongchu looked at the five medicine bottles and said hesitantly: "I want to enhance my hearing."
"for you."
Yao Chen threw the medicine bottle to Su Dongchu, "The pills inside are medicine guides. After you take them, you can take a bath. It will take three years to make a small success, and ten years to make a big success. These are the medicinal materials needed for the soup bath."
After speaking, Yao Chen handed Su Dongchu a prescription.
"Brother-in-law will keep it for you."
Jiang Yifeng grabbed the prescription and put it into his pocket.
Seeing this, Yao Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Jiang, you are too old. Soup baths that increase the five senses are of no use to you. And without medicine, using a soup bath may cause tinnitus in the slightest, and may cause inability to hear in the worst case." Something.”
Ever since Jiang Yifeng knew that Momen had a way to enhance the five senses, he had been pestering him, but he refused.
It’s not that he is unwilling to part with it, it’s mainly a drug that enhances the five senses, which is not suitable for everyone.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yifeng is not suitable for that.
In fact, Jiang Yifeng was not only unsuitable for drugs to enhance the five senses, he also found that Jiang Yifeng was not suitable for martial arts training.
Even if he is personally taught by Senior Brother Juzi and combined with the best medicinal materials, he can reach the level of Sanding Warrior.
Jiang Yifeng's thoughts were seen through, and he didn't feel embarrassed. "This prescription is very precious. I don't worry about Su Dongchu holding it."
Yao Chen said: "I don't trust you to hold it."
"Heh...tui..."
Jiang Yifeng was dissatisfied and took out the prescription, "Isn't it just to enhance the five senses? I can do it by relying on miscellaneous knowledge, and it's even better."
Yao Chen asked playfully: "How powerful is it?"
Jiang Yifeng thought for a while and said, "Clairsight and ears."
Hearing this, Yao Chen just smiled.
He didn't believe in clairvoyance and wind-sighted ears at all, things that only appeared in books about ghost stories.
"You will know whether I lied to you or not in the future."
Jiang Yifeng didn't explain too much. After all, in the absence of physical objects, explanation is just a cover-up.
"How many days will your sister let you stay in Mei Village?" Jiang Yifeng looked at Su Dongchu and asked.
"I'm going back tomorrow."
Su Dongchu continued: "Brother-in-law, have you forgotten that tomorrow we will compete for the oiran? Not only do I have to go back, but you also have to go back."
"So fast?"
Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought that it had been many days since he came to Mei Village.
Calculating the time, the Oiran Competition will indeed be held in these two days.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng looked at everyone else, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Starting tomorrow, there will be a three-day oiran competition. Do you want to participate?"
Although he really wanted everyone to do research and make inventions day and night, he understood the importance of combining work and rest.
However……
Gong Shuchang was the first to shake his head, with a tone of indifference, "What's so interesting about those posing women? We have to watch them for three days in a row, why not stay in Coal Village and study hot air balloons."
Uncle Ghost Hand followed closely, "I will also stay in Mei Village and strive to build a manned hot air balloon after the year."
"Uh-huh……"
Zhang Litang and Yin Wu were excited and nodded.
They might not have much confidence in making a hot air balloon by themselves, but it would be completely different if Gong Shuchang and Master Guishou were with them.
"Where's Brother Yaochen?"
Jiang Yifeng looked at Yao Chen who didn't express any opinion, thinking that he was hesitating whether to go or not.
"I?"
Yao Chen woke up like a dream, shook his head and said: "I won't go either. I plan to try to improve the prescription and try to enhance two or more of the five senses."
Hey!
It’s no use asking!
I should have thought that the greatest pleasure of these people is doing research.
As for women…
It will only delay their hand speed.
After understanding this, Jiang Yifeng didn't say anything more and took Su Dongchu back to Coal Village.
After returning to Coal Village, Jiang Yifeng looked at the busy villagers and hesitated for a moment to ask for the village elder Zhang.
"Benefactor, what's the matter?"
Lao Zhang came soon, saluted Jiang Yifeng and asked.
"Is such that……"
Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the villagers have been working hard for several months. I want to give everyone a holiday and some rest."
"No need to rest."
Lao Zhang waved his hands repeatedly, "You can earn a lot of copper coins by digging coal for a day. I feel bad if I am delayed for a day. Many young men in the village still want to make more money and marry a wife after the new year."
Is it Laifu?
Jiang Yifeng instinctively thought of this guy who was thinking about his wife even before he died, so he smiled and said: "Let's do this. Those who are willing to rest can rest, and those who are unwilling to rest can go to work. The salary will be three times the usual salary."
Triple salary!
Lao Zhang's eyes widened. He felt that no one would rest now.
"Also, I plan to hire a theater troupe, and you can arrange the venue."
"My benefactor, it costs a lot of money to hire a troupe. It's not necessary."
Jiang Yifeng glared at Lao Zhang and reprimanded: "I'm not discussing with you, I'm just informing you that you have to entertain a good troupe, and you can't lose your etiquette."
"All right!"
Facing the tough Jiang Yifeng, Lao Zhang had to compromise.
However, he felt warm in his heart because his benefactor was always thinking about them.
"correct!"
Jiang Yifeng suddenly thought of something, looked at Lao Zhang and asked, "How do the livestock raised in our village look like?"
"very nice!"
A smile immediately appeared on Lao Zhang's face, and he said excitedly: "The pigs my benefactor bought have given birth to a lot of piglets. Currently, there are more than 200 big pigs and small pigs, and there are more than 1,500 chickens in the chicken farm. , can lay hundreds of eggs every day.”
Jiang Yifeng didn't just buy pigs and chickens once. He would buy some livestock and send them to Coal Village almost whenever he had time.
The villagers who are responsible for breeding in the coal village are also conscientious and take good care of these livestock.
With the original addition of breeding, the breeding industry in Mei Village has begun to take shape.
Jiang Yifeng thought for a while and said: "Kill fifty pigs and distribute some to each household. No money is allowed. We will also give some of the hens and eggs that cannot lay eggs to the big guys."
Lao Zhang waved his hands repeatedly, "My benefactor, there is no need for this. Everyone has money now, and there is no problem in spending money to buy meat."
"This is different!"
Jiang Yifeng smiled and said to Lao Zhang: "These livestock are collectively raised by us. We promised everyone at the beginning that they would be killed and eaten during the Chinese New Year. If I break my promise, who will believe me in the future?"
"Oh well!"
Lao Zhang felt that what Jiang Yifeng said made sense and nodded in agreement.
In the following time, Jiang Yifeng arranged many things for Lao Zhang and told him to make sure everyone has a good New Year.
At noon the next day, Jiang Yifeng took Su Dongchu back to Su City.
He hadn't been back to Su City for a while, so as soon as he entered Su City, he could clearly feel the difference in Su City.
Every household has pasted Spring Festival couplets and hung up red lanterns, and there are many vendors selling New Year's goods on the roads. Everything is full of festive atmosphere.
However, Jiang Yifeng always felt that something was missing.
The problem was that he couldn't remember what was missing for a while.
boom!
At this moment, several urchins were chasing and fighting. One of the children closed the door hard and made a sharp sound.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Yifeng trembled, then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I know what is missing this year."
Su Dongchu looked at Jiang Yifeng with a puzzled face, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"You'll find out later."
After Jiang Yifeng finished speaking, he ordered the coachman not to return to Su's house for the time being, but to turn the horse's head to the public loser's home.
