The monk was pushed by the guy and took a few steps back, clasped his palms together, sang a Buddha horn, raised his eyes to look at the signboard of the Cloud Tower, sighed again, and walked away.

The shopkeeper spat on the ground and scolded: "Where did the wild monk come from, swaggering and cheating!" What kind of fate, don't you just want to eat white food, there is no door! ”

Tayunlou's business is not very good, if he, the shopkeeper, is not careful in his calculations, he will lose money at the end of the month, and he will be scolded by Aunt Jiu. Not to mention a meal, even a sip of water can't be drunk in vain!

A cold wind blew, Xia Qingyun covered the window, and asked the guy who had just come in to add water, "That monk has come to our shop to make a fortune?" ”

"Here," the guy put on the lid of the pot and replied with a smile: "The second shopkeeper downstairs took half a tael of silver, but the monk didn't want money, as long as he was vegetarian, the second shopkeeper gave half a catty of dried fruits and a catty of steamed buns." ”

Xia Qingyun nodded with satisfaction, she had made a rule before the opening, whether it was a monk or a Taoist priest or a begging refugee, as long as she boarded the door of Qingyunxuan, she would be treated politely, hot water and hot rice were full, and if she was sick, she could also give some money to grab medicine.

Winter is about to begin, the winter in the north is not milder than the climate in the southeast province, to the thirty-nine days, the dripping water into ice, if the old, weak, sick and disabled do not have cold clothing and food, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive the harsh winter.

She discussed with Yao Xili and Hua Jingtian to prepare some winter clothes, quilts and food, and send them to the poorest families in Hejian County. How could the two of them not agree, thinking that if Xia Qingyun hadn't been kind and charitable, the Hualing brothers and sisters would have died of illness and starvation.

Yao Xili mentioned again that the kitchen makes morning tea every day. You can boil a big pot of rice porridge by the way and give it to those who need it at the door.

Xia Qingyun readily agreed, and immediately decided to set aside half of the monthly profits in the future and set it up as a charity fund to help the poor.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and when the farms are renovated, they need a lot of manpower to farm and protect the forests, and they can choose the best from the poor to help them get rich through labor.

She added: "And. Tea masters and pot masters needed in tea houses. It is also possible to recruit children from poor families to train them. ”

"Pot art? A long-spouted copper teapot? ”

"The spout pot is different from ordinary teapots, and it can be used to add water to tea customers, and you can do many tricks, to put it simply. It is to combine the technique of adding water with the figure of opera, kung fu, acrobatics, and dance. Form a unique. It is both practical and ornamental. ”

"Obediently, it's so complicated, I'm afraid people who don't have a kung fu foundation can't learn it, right?" Hua Sedum asked.

"That's why I have to recruit some boys and girls to practice. The younger you are, the better your body's flexibility will be, and as long as you study and practice hard, you will be able to master the basic skills in three months. ”

Yao Xili was taken aback and said, "Girls can also practice?" ”

Xia Qingyun replied with a smile: "Aren't there girls practicing opera, kung fu, and juggling in the world?" There are 12 sets of women's techniques, called Shangshan Ruoshui, and 18 sets of men's techniques, called Daigo Shenyun. However, the pot must be filled with boiling water when practicing, and it is not okay to be afraid of hardship. ”

"Most of the children from poor families are hard-working, and as long as they can learn the ability to earn a living, they will be willing to come to learn!"

Hua Sedum has a deep understanding. The Hua family used to open a martial arts hall in Yuzhou, and there were many poor children in it, who were never afraid of falling and practicing in order to become martial artists.

"When the pot is ready, I'll show you a demonstration."

In his previous life, out of interest, Xia Qingyun had studied pot art with a long-spouted pot tea art technician, although he was not particularly proficient, he was still rich in teaching beginners. As for the most advanced skills, it depends on personal understanding and diligent practice, and it will take time to become more proficient.

Getting back to business, she talked about the renovation of the farm. Hua Jingtian basically doesn't need to make a big move, but in the future, she will open a fruit forest farm in her Zhuangzi, and she will have to build another courtyard next to the current house.

In addition, she wants to dig a cellar, an ice cellar, and build a cowshed to raise cows before it freezes.

"Seeing that winter is coming, I'm afraid it's too late to finish, so it's better to wait until the spring of next year?" Yao Xili knocked on the drawings on the table, according to Xia Qingyun's plan, this amount of work is not small.

"The house can be slowed down, the ice cellar should be dug out as soon as possible, and the river will freeze in winter, just enough to be saved, and then next summer, the ice basin will be put in the private room, and it will be cool and comfortable in the dog days."

Although it is very convenient to make ice in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, she can't always stay in the river, the farm is next to the river, the river water is clear and unpolluted, why not pick up the ready-made convenience. And now Qingmei and others can come out, just dig an ice cellar, and there is no need to invite outsiders.

However, the materials needed for the project still have to be purchased with the help of Sedum, and no one started construction before the year, and the bricks and tiles and wood at this time are cheap, and even the next year's use is bought.

The three of them carefully calculated the materials, Yao Xili led Hua Sedum to the account room to pay the silver, and Xia Qingyun rushed back to the other courtyard and told the two mothers that they bought the farm for renovation and wanted to live in the house in the county seat for a while.

On the way back to the courtyard, Xia Qingyun saw the monk in a hundred clothes again, he was wearing straw shoes, and he was carrying a huge bamboo shelf behind him, the shelf was divided into several layers, which probably contained clothes and other things, and there was a small shed on the top to block the wind and rain. There is also a dead wind lamp hanging in front of the shelf to illuminate the road at night.

It seems that he is going to the Guanyin Temple in the east of the county to place an order. Xia Qingyun's carriage passed by him, and he specially instructed the handlebar to lean to the side and slow down so as not to kick up dust.

Three days later, Hua Sedum transported the materials to be used in advance to the farm, and Xia Qingyun lied that Qingmei and others were invited from the palace of the prince of Zhenguo and worshiped the god of the land, so he started construction.

The cellar was located at the back of the house, separated by a large wood, so that it was difficult to see the inside from the outside. Xia Qingyun picked a clever and obedient subordinate to guard at the gate, and told him not to let outsiders in, so he let Qingmei and the others exert their magical powers, and quickly dug a deep hole in the ground.

Xu is Xia Qingyun said a word, Qingguo dug down in one breath, and when it was more than three zhang deep, spring water suddenly appeared under the ground, and he wolfed out of the hole, and when the cold wind blew, he shivered from the cold.

Xia Qingyun stroked her forehead, although the farm is on a higher slope, but because of the river, the aquifer is very shallow, she forgot to explain the depth, this kiln can not be dug. It's okay, just dig a well, and the province has to go to the river every day to fetch water.

She hurriedly put the green fruit into the treasure pavilion, changed her clothes, and looked for a place to dig again.

This time, Qingguo had a long memory, and the passage only dug for a foot and a half before stopping, and began to dig the cellar horizontally. Waiting for a square space, the green vines and green leaves also go down to the bottom, leaving green plums and so on to transport the soil back and forth.

was in full swing, and the guards ran over in a hurry, so they ran and gestured, "Miss, there is a wandering monk at the door, shouting that you have to come in!" ”

Xia Qingyun took a look, and a figure was followed by a figure in the distance behind the next person, walking towards this side unhurriedly. (To be continued......)
