Section 95 Finding the craft

In the evening, they found a very small shop, and because they had money again, the two bought some mixed noodles and buns and some pickles, closed the door, and ate together. After eating, Li Hu began to transcribe notes by the light, and flew the book on his pillow, and suddenly saw the dog chestnut circling around him, turning around twice, and was about to ask him what he was doing, but the dog chestnut couldn't help but remind: "Li Hu." Did you put your money away? ”

Li Hu nodded.

Dog Chestnut reminded again: "You touch it." It's still not there. Li Hu didn't know why, touched it, and said in amazement: "It's here." ”

Dog chestnut sat down with an "oh".

After a while, he asked, "Let's go to bed later, where do you put it?" ”

Li Hu smiled and asked, "Where did you say to put it?" ”

Dog Chestnut said, "Then I'll go and borrow a needle, and I'll just go into my clothes, right?" ”

Li Hu laughed out loud.

He took out the money, threw it at the dog, and said, "Take it." ”

Dog Chestnut waved his hands in refusal, panted and said, "Li Hu." Li Hu. You keep it. You keep it. I'm afraid of losing it. You take your money. What should I do if I lose it? ”

Li Hu let the silver ticket swing far on the table, and couldn't help but scold: "Look at your little bit of interest?!" This money really has to be put on you, otherwise what if you say you have money in the future? Dig a pit and bury it in your backyard? ”

Dog Chestnut hurriedly shook his head.

Li Hu smiled and lowered his head to write again.

When the dog chestnut saw that the money was still on the table, he was afraid that someone would break in, so he grabbed it, quickly put it away, and insisted on returning it to Li Hu, and asked: "Then you put it up." If you don't put it up, I'm afraid of who will come in. ”

Li Hu had no choice but to put the money back in.

Before he had time to make fun of it, Dog Chestnut added: "It's in the clothes bag, right?" Touch it and see if you feel like it's in it, but it's actually in your clothes? It will fall as soon as you move around. ”

Li Hu put down his pen angrily and looked at him helplessly. Dog Chestnut said sneeringly: "It should be loaded, you are not as sloppy as me." He sat on the opposite side, finally looked at Li Hu quietly, let Li Hu write for a while, waited for Li Hu to put down his pen, went out to ask the store for water to wash his feet, and then came in with a basin, caught up and closed the door suddenly, and proposed: "Why don't we take off our clothes and sleep one by one?" Good no good? ”

Li Hu couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted, "You sit down." Sit down for me. ”

Dog chestnut sat upright under his supervision.

Without saying a word, Li Hu took out the money, put it between his arms, and demanded, "I'll give you the money." When you're okay, put it to me again. After saying that, he said, "I will wash my feet first, and when you have finished washing yourself, go and ask for water, and remember, you cannot wash your feet without washing them." If you don't wash I'll beat you. ”

When he had finished washing, he pushed the basin forward with his feet, picked up the cloth towel, wiped his feet, put back his shoes on the edge of the bed, and sat down on the ...... I heard the dog chestnut whimper: "I have the money." Why should I go out and ask for water? Li Hu pretended not to hear, took off his cotton clothes and got into the quilt, lying face in, and didn't care. The dog chestnut stiffened there, and he carried it three times before he could not be relieved, so he picked up the wooden basin and walked out cautiously.

This night, Li Hu slept dimly, got up at dawn and saw that the dog chestnut clothes had not been taken off, covering the quilt, leaning against the wall, legs next to Li Hu, curled up all night, every dozing off, a spirit woke up quickly. Li Hu sighed unconsciously.

If anyone had done this before, he would have laughed to death. But since he lived in Yangjia Village, chewed and ate the nest every day, and worked to earn two yuan a day, he knew what the three hundred taels of silver meant to the dog chestnut, and what a fortune it was, very clearly, very clearly. But the dog chestnut said: "It's dawn, you help, let's count the money, right?" Li Hu's pity was suddenly diluted, and he didn't want the dog chestnut to be useless like this, so he sneered and said, "You haven't slept all night, right?" Well, you don't have a mind to go out today, so you can sleep in the store with your money in your arms, and count as much as you want. When you fall asleep, you don't care if you lose the money or not, and then you don't take it out. ”

Li Hu put on his clothes and left.

As soon as the door was closed, the small dilapidated shop, the small dilapidated house, and the windows were gone, and the light dimmed again.

Dog Chestnut shouted that he couldn't come back, and he also complained to himself: "Yang Li, Yang Li, you are a little promising, okay." Isn't it three hundred taels? How do you know that you won't be able to make three thousand taels in the future? Lose? Lose and lose Li Hu's money, he doesn't take it seriously, why am I like this? ”

He put the money on the bed, made a gesture and left ten steps, muttering words to spur himself, but when he went to the eleventh step, he really couldn't control himself, as if someone was pulling him back quickly, and couldn't help but say to himself: "It's not that I really can't throw the money down and go out, but I can't put the money on the bed, the store always has to come in, so he takes it, can he ask for it back?" I didn't get a good night's sleep anyway...... Don't go out. ”

Li Hu actually let him sleep.

He had already asked last night, and there were some stone processing workshops in the big garden next to the stone yard, so he went straight there.

When I arrived, I couldn't see it. Some of the processing of large pieces of stone, and the countryside stone yard is not much different, holding a hammer and shovel chisel, clanging, sparks and gravel, there is nothing to see, and there are some people who process valuable materials, either into a courtyard, or pull the cloth curtain, see people to catch people, have said: "melon field plums." Don't go, don't walk around. Li Hu went around all morning, and finally met an apprentice, and went to ask, but he needed a shop guarantee, that is, there must be relatives who have shops in the market and are willing to guarantee them.

Turning to noon, my mind returned to the stone field. He went back to find the dog chestnut, and planned to finish lunch together, and then turn backwards from the stone yard to see which finished products to satisfy him, and reverse judgment which kind of material the workshop could have the process he wanted.

Back at the store, the dog chestnut finally couldn't stand it, snoring on the bed, just snoring, one hand was still in his arms, Li Hu was sure that the hand in his arms was still holding the money.

Li Hu couldn't help but laugh, but he deliberately yelled: "What about money? ”

Dog Chestnut sat up and asked in a panic, "Where is the money?" Is the money gone? ”

He pulled out the hand in his arms, jumped out of bed, turned over the futon and looked everywhere, asked "where is the money" while looking for it, suddenly stunned, thought of the place where he put the money, and put his hand back in his arms, touched it, his heart was steady, and he said: "I'm scared to death." Scared the hell out of me. The money is still there. ”

Li Hu smiled: "What if it's gone?" ”

When the dog chestnut heard this, he was not at ease, and when he escaped, he put it on the bed and counted it.

Li Hu was scared, and asked him helplessly: "If you can go out, throw the money there, and follow me without looking at it, you will become a rich man." ”

Dog Chestnut smiled and said, "Who are you fooling?" Can a person who can't look at three hundred taels become a rich man? ”

He said excitedly, "But I've grown, I can sleep." ”

The two went out to find food.

When he arrived at a restaurant, Dog Chestnut stood up again and smirked: "Li Hu." I'm growing again. I'm not afraid of people. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Li Hu happily, laughed silently, jumped forward, and suddenly opened the curtain and went in as if he was in his own village, and shouted: "Little Er." Bring a jug of wine. ”

When I went in and sat down, I heard the dog chestnut shouting: "I heard that the donkey meat in Baojun is delicious." They are all eaten in pancakes. Ten baked cakes, and a piece of copper coin was sandwiched between each baked cake. Uncle has money. ”

Li Hu looked at his lively and vigorous village tyrant, and wanted to kick him in the ass.

He found that Li Hu's eyes were wrong, shouted "brother", and asked, "Why don't you have two pieces in one?" ”

Li Hu held back his laughter when he saw the shopkeeper and ordered, "I want five donkey meat baked cakes." What about him. Five white baked cakes. In each of them are two copper coins the size of a coin. ”

The shopkeeper laughed and sang, "Okay." Five donkey meat baked cakes, five baked cakes with copper coins and big donkey meat, and a handful of roast wine. ”

The dog chestnut is wooden.

He cautiously asked, "Is the donkey meat in the donkey meat cake bigger or smaller than the copper coin?" ”

The shopkeeper shouted like this, but there were ten baked cakes with meat, which one of them contained more than copper coins, and the dog chestnut couldn't blush, sucking saliva and smirking when he hugged one.

In order to eat, Li Hu also asked for two side dishes.

After eating, the dog chestnut drank wine and ate meat, his face was flushed, and he struggled with the tendons in his neck and roared: "It's so delicious." Li Hu really felt ashamed, and hurriedly walked out, waiting for him to pay the bill, and heard a shout inside: "Isn't it okay to ask for less." We'll come back next time. ”

Li Hu squinted at a bookstore opposite, waiting for the dog chestnut. The dog chestnut came out and was still muttering, "Damn." No wonder it tastes good. I ate two months' wages. It's still two months' wages for two people. Li Hu took him by the hand and went to the bookstore first, he followed behind and muttered: "Li Hu." How much did we buy a donkey last time? Is it so expensive to kill according to the meat? Let's go back to our hometown to collect donkeys and come to Baojun to sell donkeys. ”

Li Hu led him into the bookstore...... The elegant scent of books and the quiet atmosphere finally made him dare not raise his voice. This bookstore is very large, through three or four shops, in addition to two customers, there is also a guy wearing a sapphire blue melon square hat holding a feather duster, while he knows how to choke the red hand, while beating the dust, feather duster down, is a long book-putting board, there are a lot of hand-held books on it, and there are many journals, Li Hu got his hands on it, picked up the familiar booklet style, and asked the guy: "There are also Dongxia periodicals?" ”

The guy at the bookstore said angrily, "Yes." If you want it, fold it in half. ”

Li Hu asked, "Why?" ”

The guy at the bookstore whispered, "Why do you ask why?" He hesitated, but explained, "I don't know." Since the start of the war, the book from Eastern Xia has become **. Our owner thinks that Dongxia books are easy to sell, and he once copied a large number of them, but now it is good, everyone has accepted them, and he is still selling them against the wind. If it weren't for Liu Ergongzi being his friend, the people in the yamen would have been banned, and the last time they arrested me, I was almost scared out of the feces and urine. Heck, he's still letting me sell it. ”

Li Hu asked rhetorically: "Why don't you let the Dongxia book be sold?" ”

The guy sighed, patted his thigh and said, "It is said that the Dongxia book is poisonous, poisoning the reader." ”

Li Hu let out an "oh" and wondered, "How is this possible?" The rules of Dongxia Magazine are much stricter than Jingkang's, right? ”

The guy crossed his fingers and introduced: "Reading and working hard, farming labor, not for labor, but for labor, but for labor, labor gives birth to labor...... Where does food and clothing come from? He asked rhetorically, "Does that count?" And he said, "And." Natural selection, the fittest can survive. Does this count? Tell you, the court has banned it several times, and in the past, it was confiscated and no one was arrested, but now it is arrested and put in prison......"

Li Hu nodded and sighed.

Dog Chestnut asked Li Hu, "What are we going to do?" If you want to buy a book, don't you say go to the stone yard? ”

Li Hu then remembered and asked the guy, "Do you have any books for polishing stones here?" ”

The guy was dazed for a moment, seemed to be thinking intently, and then smiled: "Do you want to have it?" Who in this world is going to polish stones? There are polished jade gemstones...... I'm talking about you. If you want to pick this kind of book, you still have to choose the Dongxia edition, you know no, there is only the Dongxia edition, it has pictures, realistic pictures, color realistic pictures. This kind of craftsman's book is good in Dongxia, this is not to clear the goods. It's true. You said this craftsman's book, you stink a lot, use some words, no picture, do you know what it is? ”

Li Hu nodded again and again.

The man said, "And they are very detailed." ”

The guy casually spread out two sets of completely different books for Li Hu to read: "Look at this one, there are hundreds of schools, hundreds of industries, there are indeed all of them, it's amazing, right, you look at this Zhiyu, how long it is, it's only one and a half pages, you don't know what it is, it's a little bit right, it's gone." If you look at other people's Dongxia, this thick part is all ...... Illustrations,This picture is all fine brushwork.,Look at what's it.,You said you want to really treat jade.,Who do you want? ”

Li Hu said: "I want both." ”

The guy was stunned for a moment.

Then he said: "I can tell you, the books of our long monthly magazine are not discounted, and they are ten times more expensive. He recommended: "In this way, you can buy two sets of books from Dongxia, one for stock." Why are you prepared, you are rotten, because of the imperial court, you can't buy it. If you want to buy two sets, how to treat jade in the future and how to make a fortune will be left to your children and grandchildren. ”

His eyes squeezed down, and he also looked like he was thinking of his children and grandchildren.
