Chapter 30 A New Home
"The stove for cooking?"
After hearing Fang Yi's question, Man Jun couldn't help but be stunned, now that natural gas has been used in the city for a long time, where would he still use a stove? If it weren't for the fact that Man Jun had burned firewood at home when he was a child, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know what the word stove meant.
"Xiao Fang, now I don't need a stove to cook in the city......"
Man Jun smiled bitterly and said: "There is natural gas and a stove at home, but I don't cook here, there is nothing in the pots and spoons, if you want to cook, let's go back and buy a set of ...... in the supermarket."
"Then buy a set...... Fang Yi thought for a while and nodded, let him eat out once in a while, if he ate it every day, Fang Yi would definitely not be able to stand those greasy foods.
"I didn't expect you to be able to cook, Xiao Fang, then Brother Man will have to be cheeky and eat it......"
Man Jun couldn't help but look impressed when he heard Fang Yi, he knew that young people nowadays are a little bit eye-catching, like his son is not a few years younger than Fang Yi, but let alone cooking, he hasn't washed the dishes once after eating since he was a child.
"Hehe, Brother Man, you are blessed, Brother Yi'er's skills are not ordinarily good...... Hearing the conversation between the two, the fat man laughed next to him, although he has been a cook in the army for several years, but to compare his cooking skills with Fang Yi, the fat man is definitely willing to bow down.
"Really?" Hearing the fat man's words, Man Jun came to his senses and shouted: "Then don't rob Brother Man when you go back, everything you need to buy is your Brother Man and my ......"
To tell the truth, Man Jun eats in restaurants outside all day long, and he feels a little tired, but his wife has to take care of the children in high school in the city, and he is usually busy, even if he can fry a few dishes and get home, he is too lazy to do it.
Don't look at Man Jun's bald head and look very fierce, but this mind is very delicate, he knows that the 20,000 yuan he gave in the hands of Fang Yi and others is really shy in his pocket, so as soon as he entered the supermarket, he said: "Fang Yi, take what you need, Brother Man will ......pay for it today."
"Thank you, Brother Man......" Fang Yi replied, but his eyes looked directly at the big supermarket in front of him.
The supermarket next to this community is a well-known supermarket chain in China, from small commodities to major appliances, it can be said that as long as it is the things that the family needs, you can get it all in this supermarket.
Fang Yi, who entered the supermarket, was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and was immediately dazzled by those various commodities, and finally picked out some change of underwear for Fang Yi with three guns, and the fat man took two cigarettes for himself after choosing pots and spoons.
"Fat man, you can't spend it like this if you don't have your own money......" When the Manchurian army checked out, Fang Yi couldn't help but pat the fat man's head, although the two cigarettes taken by the fat man were not very expensive, but they were easy to give people a feeling of liking to take advantage of them.
"Fang Yi, it was Brother Man who asked me to take it, and that cigarette is also a brand he likes to smoke......" The fat man touched his head with a look of grievance, when they went home yesterday, the cigarettes on Man Jun's body were gone, and he smoked half a pack of cigarettes from the fat man, and then said that he would buy a few and put them at home today.
"Well, if you buy vegetables or something in the future, don't let Brother Man spend money......"
Fang Yi nodded when he heard this, in fact, to be honest, although he is poor now, Fang Yi doesn't attach much importance to money, because if he is willing to follow the old path of his master, it will not be difficult to make money.
Fang Yi learned the Tao from his master, not only cultivating the Tao and refining qi, but also some Taoist techniques, such as divination and hexagrams, feng shui, charms to drive away evil spirits, disaster elimination prayers, and room techniques, Fang Yi knows all of them, and in terms of the attainments of divination and hexagrams, he is not much better than his master.
Fang Yi often listened to the master talk about his walking in the rivers and lakes back then, according to the old Taoist priest, he used to give divination to high-ranking officials and ask hexagrams, helping large families to be able to enjoy feng shui, mixed with wind and water, in Jinling City at that time, he was a guest of many high-ranking officials and giants.
However, the old Taoist priest also told Fang Yi that those who have great abilities, if they don't have the heart to match them, they will eventually get lost in their own strength, so even if they have great ability, they will not die well.
Therefore, the old Taoist priest asked Fang Yi not to make a living by Taoist techniques after going down the mountain, this is not to say that Fang Yi can't give people divination and ask for feng shui, but he can't charge any fees, otherwise it is an act of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors.
Fang Yi didn't feel anything bad about Master's advice, he was originally a Taoist inaction-free and tranquil character, and he had no concept of the class in real life, if it weren't for the fat man's unwillingness to live or die, Fang Yi would even be ready to go down the mountain to become a security guard.
As for money, Fang Yi has no money now, but imagine a person who can resist the temptation of millions of dollars, how can he be a person who values money? Sun Lianda actually took a fancy to Fang Yi's character and had the idea of accepting apprentices.
"I know that we are not poor and will not be looked down upon......"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, the fat man nodded very seriously, don't look at him who usually looks like a dead beggar, but his self-esteem is not ordinarily strong, otherwise he would not have resigned from his job as a security guard because he was looked down upon.
"We will be poor for a while, and we will not be poor for a lifetime!"
Fang Yi patted the fat man on the shoulder, although there is a saying that the hexagram in the divination is not counted as oneself, and it is not easy to deduce it even with relatives and friends who have a causal relationship with him, but just from the simple face of Fang Yi, it can be seen that the fat man and the three guns are both people with raised eyebrows, full seals, and nostrils, and they may not be able to be expensive in this life, but they must be rich people.
"That's right, aren't we going to be our own boss now?"
After seeing the boss Man's broken fan noodles sold for sixty or seventy thousand, the fat man was very longing for his future life, and he dreamed yesterday that he ate roast chicken by himself was a one-time purchase, and he ate one for the rhubarb at home.
"Okay, fatty, let's practice the stall in a down-to-earth manner first......"
The three guns poured cold water on the fat man, he lived in the city for a longer time, knowing that the city is not so easy to mix, at least in the countryside there is land to grow food to eat, but if he is laid off in the city, then life is also very difficult.
"Hmph, fat man, I'm looking forward to the future......" Fighting with the three artillery, several people carried things in the direction of the Manjun family.
Chaotian Palace is near the Qinhuai River, which is also the old city of Jinling in the past, because of the high population density, the difficulty of reconstruction and planning is relatively large, so there are still many private houses, and the Manjun family is a three-storey small building rebuilt on the basis of the previous house.
"Brother Man, your yard is big enough, it's a pity not to plant something?"
When the Manchu army opened the gate of the courtyard, Fang Yi found that in the wall and gate, there was also a courtyard that occupied a large area, but except for a shed in the middle of the courtyard and some grape vines, the land on both sides of the courtyard was deserted.
"When my father was alive, he planted flowers and plants, and then I was desolate...... "The Manchu army now stays in the store or runs around the country all day long, where there is time to tending with the vegetable patch, even the grapevines that are growing well have not been watered once, and they are all raised by the earth.
"Brother Man, why don't we grow some vegetables ourselves......?
Fang Yi thought for a while and said, when he ate the green vegetables in the restaurant today, he felt that there were some slight toxins in it, although there would be no danger for a while, but over time, it would still be harmful to the body.
When Fang Yi was in the mountains, he cultivated a vegetable field of almost one acre next to the Taoist temple, and the vegetables he and his master ate were all grown by themselves.
"Then dare to be kind, what kind of vegetables are you going to grow? But I really don't know where to go for this kind of thing?"
In recent years, the living standards of the common people have improved, and the Manchu army often hears his wife say that the vegetables he buys have pesticides, if Fang Yi is willing to grow vegetables in his yard, he just can't ask for it, but even if Manjun's grandfather has never planted land in his generation, it is really difficult for him to talk about farming.
"It's easy to do, I'll ......bring it home in a few days," the fat man laughed when he heard this, they are all real croppers, and it would be a joke if they couldn't even get vegetable seeds.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you guys......"
Man Jun nodded happily, opened the door on the first floor, and said, "I only live here for four or five days a week, and I don't usually go up to the second and third floors, it's very dirty, let's clean it up together......"
This small building was originally the house of Manchu's parents, and after the death of his parents, he moved here for the convenience of doing business, but a big man lived, where would he take care of the room, in addition to the first floor can also live in people, the second and third floors are full of sundries and dust.
"Brother Man, I know what you mean by buying three mops?"
Yesterday, the fat man and the three guns were on the sofa in the living room on the first floor for a night, and did not go upstairs, this went up to see, the fat man suddenly bitter face, the dust on the ground stepped on the footprints are clearly visible, and I don't know how long the Manchurian army has not cleaned.
"Aren't we more powerful than others?" Man Jun touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "I live on the first floor, there are two rooms on the second floor, and one room on the third floor has a platform, as long as you clean up, it is no problem for one person to live in one room......
"One person, one room? That dare to be kind...... Hearing Manjun's words, the three artillery guns were full of energy, although his family had a house in Jinling, but several members of the family were crammed into a house of dozens of square meters, and the three artillery had already planned to move out.
"Huh, this house is a bit heavy?"
After taking the broom dustpan to the second floor, Fang Yi's brows furrowed slightly, because he found that when he opened the curtains on the second floor, the outside of the window was blocked by the walls of another building, and several rooms in the daytime looked a little gloomy.
And just after the Manchu army turned on the lights, a few rats and some centipede reptiles scurried around from the corners of the walls and under the cabinets, and soon burrowed into the dark corners and disappeared.
"Hey, I already knew to buy some rat traps and insect repellent sprays...... "After seeing those rats and crawlers, Man Jun's face became more and more embarrassed, he rarely went up to the second or third floor, and he didn't think that it was about to become a rat's nest.
"Brother Man, you don't need any mouse traps and medicine, just leave this kind of thing to Brother Yi'er......" After hearing Man Jun's words, the fat man laughed.
