Xiao Yi knelt until noon the next day, until a lark curiously landed on top of his head, which made him realize that he could be seen again.

Standing up to calm down, Xiao Yi took out a piece of black rice cake with blood in his arms and swallowed it indiscriminately. This is a regular snack in the palace, and it is also the last thing that grandmother handed to her. What was originally sweet and nourishing tastes like chewing wax at this time.

There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and you didn't need to look at Xiao Yi to guess that Xiao Yingfu had sent someone to check on the temple.

He ran wildly, and in just a few breaths he ran into a forest not far away. After drinking a few sips of stream water, Xiao Yat set off to his father's imperial tomb to say his final goodbye.

In the huge Beiji, probably only the imperial tomb is still his only concern. Xiao Yi was still more than ten miles away from the imperial tomb, and he saw a thick smoke covering the sky and the sun in the distance. That direction is the direction where the imperial mausoleum is located, and it is said that there will be soldiers stationed all year round. Could this sky-high fire be that it was not strictly guarded and walked away from the water?

Xiao Yi still had a bad premonition, but he didn't dare to think about it. hurriedly rushed to the vicinity of the imperial tomb, and sure enough, only Xiao Yingwu's imperial tomb was burned to the ground. The once majestic building has collapsed at this time, and there are still some remnants of fire beating in the ruins.

"Third brother, it's almost over, you really don't have to wait until the imperial tombs are burned down before you go back to your life, right?"

A bearded black-robed man muttered as he nibbled on a piece of rabbit meat.

"You can eat yours! A fire, ten gold coins a day! Where can you find such an easy job? The officers and soldiers are all transferred, and you can burn as much as you want! You don't want to have such a happy opportunity again in your life. ”

The black-robed short-bearded man known as the third brother pinched his waist and said. He was obviously very satisfied with his masterpiece, and burned the mausoleum of the first emperor to the ground in one day and one night, and the former archway was also knocked down by several people, and the stone heads on both sides of the road were also knocked into rubble. This is a huge project, although it can't be written into the history books, but every time I think of it, it is enough for a few people to brag and show off with their drinking friends.

"Fifth brother, what about them? This fire is almost burning, why haven't you seen them come back? I said that I should finish it early and go home early, why did I disappear if I didn't pay attention?"

The short-bearded man greeted the bearded man, but saw him munching on rabbit meat by himself, not caring about the whereabouts of the other three.

The third child couldn't get angry, so he stepped forward and grabbed the bearded man, and scolded with a smile: "Foodie! You know how to eat! Eat! Eat! You don't have to worry about the eldest brother, the second brother and the fourth brother? Hurry up and find someone!"

The bearded old man shook his shoulders, retreated, chewed rabbit meat in his mouth, and muttered indifferently: "Do you still need to think about this? The three of them must have found something good in the imperial tomb." I'm afraid that if I look for someone now, I will scare them when I find them again. When they come back, regardless of whether they find any benefits or not, we can just say that we have been helping them guard all the time. When the time comes, everyone will share it equally, and no one will want to swallow it alone. ”

The short-bearded man thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong. The two of them didn't go with them to find the baby, and I can't tell how much I got when I turned around.

"You and I are here, do you know how much he has benefited?

When the bearded man heard this, the movements in his hands first stopped, and then he laughed and said, "This matter is simple. You and I just need to strip the fourth brother naked and tell him that whatever benefits he gets, he will take it out and divide it equally. With the temper of the fourth child, he must be frying. This kid will bite when he turns around, I want to know how many treasures the eldest brother and second brother have gotten, with the fourth brother here, it's hard to think about it!"

The two talked and laughed and waited on the road for a long time, but still didn't see the other three.

"Old Five, I don't think it's better to wait stupidly. Let's look around, and then it will be dark. The short-bearded man said anxiously.

Soon the two of them searched the neighborhood. Finally, a burned tomb was found near the ruins of the main hall, and it was not surprising that the boss and the others should have entered from here.

The two went down to the tomb and lit a torch. The mural at the top of the billowing black and smoky tomb was a mess. After a few steps, Lao Wu almost tripped over a soft object under his feet. Hurriedly raised the torch to carefully identify, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be startled when you see it. There were three corpses lying on the ground, which were the second and fourth eldest who had disappeared earlier. The trio also had some tools discarded around them, apparently trying to dig up the door of the tomb just now.

"If the first emperor has a spirit, how can you enter here with a few of you? But if you say that you are ignorant and unconscious after death, I am afraid that there is less retribution that makes you scruples. ”

A voice came from above, and the third and fifth children felt a chill behind them. What he did was obviously discovered, but the soldiers around him had already been transferred, so who could this person be?

Before the two of them could run back to the hole, a pile of rubble and dirt fell from the hole on top. The two hurriedly retreated, covering their faces with their sleeves, and coughed loudly.

"If you do not care about the grievances of the dead, bear the wrath of the descendants of their living. ”

Some dead branches and weeds were pushed down the tomb hallway, followed by several pieces of charred wood from the temple and dropped with flames. When the flames met the dead branches, a raging fire rose up, and through the firelight, the two vaguely saw a white-robed figure slowly leaving.

A tragic roar came from the tomb, and Xiao Yi smiled bitterly, this was probably the last few madmen buried alive by his father.

From this moment on, Beiji's last concern has been shattered. Xiao Yi has no nostalgia in this world.

Half a month later, Yubo City, the southernmost city on the east coast of Beiji.

Xiao Yi's identity at this time is not known to many people. Xiao was originally the surname of Beiji, and someone with the surname Xiao would not be associated with the royal family.

At this time, he didn't have much money on him, and if he didn't think about making a living, he could only make another move as a man in black.

For the first time, Xiao Yat found that he would be terrified by the money, and he used to be hungry to enter the palace and return to the temple. Now I have nothing to rely on, and I have to think about my future life in addition to the present.

Early, Xiao Yi walked aimlessly on the street. If there is a suitable job, he will apply, and if there is no job, then he will find a wicked person who can rob the rich and help the poor, and can also supplement his own expenses.

A noodle and tea stall on the corner caught his eye.

"Uncle Liao, you are doing well, the small shop is small and the profit is small, and my family still has to rely on this business to support it. Allow me for two more days, and yours will definitely be indispensable for the rental money. ”

"It's been two months, and I'm not not giving you time to breathe. It's just that it's not a way for you to keep dragging on the rent like this! Lao He, it's not that I don't care about you, and it's not a way to spend it like this. Wu Lao Er of Piaoxiang Building has already asked me to bring you a message, as long as your Nizi goes to Piaoxiang Building, the rent of this shop will be free, and they can give you ten gold coins when you turn around. No matter how you say it, raising a girl is also a loss of money, and sooner or later it will be cheaper for others. Why don't you take ten gold coins now, and you and your wife can have a good life, right?"

"Uncle Liao, you are good. My Fenggu is only twelve! If I really go to Piaoxiang Building, who would dare to ask for her in this life? If you tolerate her for a few more days, I will take the stall and borrow money from my relatives. ”

"Lao He, don't lie to yourself. Who will lend you money these days? If you can really borrow it, you can bear to let your wife stop the decoction? Don't think about it, I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, your Aunt Feng is also suffering with you, so you can't bear to let this child suffer with your family?"

Two tears appeared in the eyes of the old man in the cloth robe, if it weren't for the death of his son in the army, if it weren't for the excessive grief of his daughter-in-law causing tuberculosis, his life would not have been so sad.

"How much rent does he owe you?"

Liao Bufan was still going to strike while the iron was hot to achieve this deal, and suddenly heard someone behind him asking. So he replied casually, "Two months, two gold coins." Together with this month's rent, it's a total of three ......"

Before Liao Bufan finished speaking, three yellow gold coins appeared in front of him.

"This gentleman, the rent is given to you. If there's nothing else to do, please go back early. My uncle still has to take care of the business. ”

Liao Bufan heard that the other party called Uncle He Sijiu, and he didn't want to ask too much. Just now, he said that the other party would not have relatives willing to lend him money, and now the rich relatives will come to the door by themselves.

Seeing Liao Bufan leave, He Sijiu came back to his senses. What kind of immortal is this? Seeing that the transaction that can't survive is so over. Seeing that the person who came was a handsome white-robed boy, He Sijiu hurriedly knelt down and thanked him. After only saying two words, He Sijiu suddenly felt inappropriate.

How can people be so good to themselves for no reason? Could it be that he also thinks about his own Aunt Feng?

After some explanation, Xiao Yat can be regarded as making things clear. Since Lao He's stall has not improved, it is better to let Xiao Yi take over. At first, he was just a tea stall, but later because of the high cost, Lao He listened to Wu Laoer's suggestion and added new pasta scones.

Anyway, the tea is made over a fire, and adding a scone cake is nothing. It's just that the scones not only do not increase the income of the tea stall, but because the scones need to be made every day, the cost is getting higher and higher.

"Uncle, I have no relatives here, you can find me a room when you go back. During this time, you will take care of it at home, and you will come and help when I finish this tea stall. ”

Lao He promised to vacate a house at home for Xiao Yi to live temporarily. Aunt Feng, who originally lived here, moved in to live with Lao He and his family.

A few days later, He Sijiu changed into neat clothes and appeared at the original tea stall with joy.

Xiao Yat changed his past and changed into a blue coarse cloth short coat. In the past, a row of steamers was set up in the place where tea and cakes were boiled, and many old customers who ate tea gathered around the tea stall to watch the excitement.

"Lao He, what kind of trouble are you doing? Is it possible that this tea stall will be changed into a banquet?"

The crowd burst into laughter, but there was nothing malicious in this laughter. Xiao Yi, who was watching them from the sidelines, didn't stop them, just opened a steamer and quietly watched everything with his arms crossed.

A burst of aroma wafted away, and the surrounding onlookers probed to check the source of the fragrance.

"Lao He, what kind of rarity is this? It smells really good!"

He Sijiu scratched his head in embarrassment and muttered, "You guys are laughing." I don't know what it is? I just know what everyone wants, and I'll give you something. ”

Everyone saw He Sijiu's naïve face, so they couldn't help but laugh. Fortunately, all kinds of prices are written on the brand, which is fair. So someone ordered a cage and tasted it in a big way.

He Sijiu turned around and took the teapot and poured a large bowl of tea, brought it to the table, thinking about letting the guests eat snacks while drinking tea.

It was only when he brought the tea that he saw that the steamer on the table was empty.

"Lao He, bring me two more copies. By the way, what's it called?"

He Sijiu took a silver coin and went back with a smile and brought two steamers. Before he put it away, he took out ten copper coins and handed them to the guest.

"Brother Xiaoyi, I asked for you just now. This is called pearl balls, and it is said to be the craft of the imperial dining room of the court in the early years. ”

"Yo roar! or imperial food, no wonder it's so fat and springy!"

In an instant, a cage drawer was wiped out again.

Before he could reach out and take out the balls in the other cage drawer, the crowd around him rushed in.

After a while, the cage drawer in front of Xiao Yat was taken away. The spectators who didn't eat it around urged He Sijiu to make more balls, but they were told that this thing was complicated to make and wanted to eat it early tomorrow.

Before noon, the tea stall closed. The two bought some wine and food and went back to their residence, and He Fenggu had already prepared a wash of water and stood at the door with a smile.

"Grandpa, I guessed that you would come back early, the water has been prepared for you, hurry up and wash it. ”

The two handed over the wine and food to Aunt Feng, washed up, and then set the table and put the food.

He Sijiu took out the money bag and put it on the table, and the heavy voice sounded joyful.

"Xiao Gongzi, a total of 1,260 copper coins were sold today. The tea was confiscated this time, and after deducting the cost of buying wine and food, we still had 1,130 copper coins left. That's eleven silver coins. In addition to the daily rent, we made eight silver coins, and as for the ...... you do."

"Okay uncle, don't forget it. Xiao Yi persuaded with a smile. This bit of silver is indeed a lot of income for the He family, but it is really nothing to Xiao Yi.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Yi and his grandparents bought and made together, and they were busy until the time of the lantern.

At noon on the second day, when Xiao Yi and He Sijiu arrived at home, Aunt Feng was surprised to find that her grandfather, who had been bent by life, actually straightened his waist with a red face.

"Young Master Xiao, I earned at least thirty silver coins today. After the meeting was washed, I asked Aunt Feng to go to the fishing village to fetch two live fish. Let's have a good drink today. ”

Xiao Yi just smiled when he heard this amount. Maybe this is He Sijiu's satisfied income, but it is obviously not enough for his own expenses.

In this way, day after day, He Sijiu's tea stall gradually became famous. Many shopkeepers want to dig the foot of the wall from here and let Xiao Yi go to his own restaurant. It's just that no matter how he is convinced, Xiao Yi is unmoved. Whenever a food is about to be consumed, Xiao Yat can always launch new dim sum to attract everyone to consume again.

Two months later, Liao Bufan came over with bad intentions and threatened to increase the rent, but Xiao Yi directly announced that he would never rent again in the future.

Three days later, a new shop was opened on the street. The originally poorly run Kwok Kee dry goods store has been transformed into a Ho Kee refreshment shop. The He family also moved out of the old house they once rented and set up a new home in the backyard of the store.

Half a year later, a shocking news began to circulate among the shops in Yubo City. He Sijiu made a career in his old age, not only did the tea stall change to a shop, but recently he bought the shop in one go, and really became a rich family.

In addition to preparing snacks and snacks with Xiao Yifenggu every day, He Sijiu sits on the counter and drinks tea to collect money. The two guys hired are to take care of the customers every day, or deliver food boxes to the reserved restaurant.

Xiao Yat was still wearing a blue coarse cloth short coat and guarding the dim sum counter. If you can spend your life so simply, it would be nice to think about it.

"Uncle Shi, this is the crab roe steamed that I told you. Drizzled with this balsamic vinegar, don't mention how good it tastes. A gray-robed man lifted the spice pot on the table and poured the black liquid into the steamer.

"How can it be as good as you say? Nothing to do, have you heard any good about me from your master?"

A middle-aged man in a gray robe took a bite from the steamer with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing while frowning at the young man.

"Uncle Shi, you are laughing again. Isn't it right for you to be a disciple and pay homage to you?What can you do?" As he spoke, the young man beckoned his men to bring two steamers. The middle-aged man in the gray robe said that he was average, but the food was extremely useful.

"Uncle Shi, you see that I have been following the master for more than two years. Usually before and after the saddle horse, there is no less effort. It's just that my cultivation hasn't improved, I don't know how long it will take to have supernatural powers like you?"

Seeing that the middle-aged man had eaten the last crystal candy horn, the young man hurriedly asked the man to bring two bowls of hibiscus lotus seed soup.

"What's the hurry? Do you think that the immortal method can be learned so easily? It depends on talent, chance, and understanding! I think that when I traveled the world with my senior brother, how many ancient beasts were killed, and how many life and death Jedi were explored? If it weren't for the tempering of the past, do you think we would have achieved what we have today?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man drank a bowl of lotus seed soup and brought another bowl to himself.

"Yes, yes, Uncle and Master must have endured hardships for the sake of cultivation. I don't want to soar in the day, I just want you to give me pointers. How much will I learn how many things I can do first?"

The young man looked aggrieved, and watched as the middle-aged man drank the last bowl of dessert and got up to leave. The young man hurriedly picked up the wooden sword on the table and chased him out.

"Ding Cheng, confiscate the money!"

He Sijiu drank tea on the counter, but his eyes never left the guests in the store. Seeing that the two gray-robed men went out after eating and drinking, they hurriedly beckoned the men to go up to collect the bills.

The guy named Ding Cheng hurriedly chased out the door, and said with a smile: "Second master, the two of you left in a hurry just now, and the used dim sum soup has not been settled yet." ”

The gray-robed young man reached into his sleeve and was about to withdraw the money, when he saw that the middle-aged man's face was quite displeased.

"Tell your boss that I'm here for my senior brother this time. There is something evil in this shop, so when you turn around, you will deduct the money from the ritual. This is my nephew, and I have a problem to solve with him. The middle-aged man turned around and left. Ding Cheng and the gray-robed young man were left standing in place with stunned expressions.

"Immortal Chief, look at this money......" Ding Cheng turned his head and looked at the young man in embarrassment.

"Ah, that...... Yes, you are doing evil here, and my master will come over another day to help you eliminate it. See you ...... back"

The gray-robed young man turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Ding Cheng.

"This immortal chief, what do you have to say to the shopkeeper. The little one is just a guy who runs the hall and can't afford to take on that much responsibility. ”

The gray-robed young man shook it vigorously and didn't break free, Ding Cheng was still entangled, and suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"Ding Cheng, what the two immortal elders said is right. This shop is indeed a bit wicked. You go with the Immortal Chief, see what you need to prepare, how much it costs, and come back and tell me. ”
