Chapter 70: I Don't Fall in Love with a Demon (8)
"Can I ask him to come over?"
As soon as Jiang Mi finished speaking, the man ran away, as if there was a dog behind him.
Jiang Mi was dumbfounded: "If you don't want to ask, forget it, what are you doing so fast." ”
The other people politely replied: "Girl, don't be weird, this person has always been not very good at braining, let him go." ”
Jiang Mi didn't know what to say, so he had to sit down and continue eating.
Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, the man ran back with a shabby-dressed Taoist, with sweat on his face, which showed that he was in a hurry.
The man was a thin, middle-aged man with a yellowish complexion, as if he was malnourished.
"Girl, I brought someone to you, and he will be handed over to you in the future!" With a relieved smile on his face, he finally got rid of a big baggage.
was kind enough to take in the Taoist, but who knew that he would not leave at his house, and he said that he would help his family to work, just give him food, but his family didn't need helpers at all.
Jiang Mi looked at the middle-aged Taoist in front of him: "You are the one who injured the peony flower demon?" ”
The Taoist stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Not only is it the peony flower demon, but the thousand-year-old bamboo demon and I are also fighting in the dark, and the two defeats are hugely injured." ”
"How did I hear that he beat you up and ran away."
His smile froze on his face, not to mention the exaggeration of these years, who would invite him to catch demons and exorcise evil spirits, not to mention that now Taoism is being pressed to death by Buddhism.
The Taoist priest cannot be trusted by ordinary people, no one invites him, and it is difficult for him to even eat a full meal.
That day, he was going to bear the fruit of the peony flower demon, but at the critical moment, the thousand-year-old bamboo demon suddenly jumped out, not only saved the flower demon, but also injured him, he also escaped with the ancestral secret method, otherwise I am afraid that he would not have died at the hands of the bamboo demon that day.
Taoist: "I don't know what the girl is looking for me?" ”
"Recruitment."
Road:??
"Recruitment, engaging in related occupations, freedom of work, and good pay."
When the Taoist heard this, surprise popped up on his face, although some of Jiang Mi's words were strange to use, he could understand them, and immediately asked, "Is food and accommodation provided?" How much does it cost? ”
Jiang Mi doubted whether he was looking for a Taoist priest who injured Mu Luan, who could seriously injure Mu Luan, no matter how he said it, he also had a certain Taoism and was qualified to enter the First Alliance of the Universe Flood Desolation, but how could the middle-aged man in front of him look like he didn't have any superior demeanor.
But she still replied: "Eat and live, five taels of silver a month, and it will rise if you do a good job." ”
"Okay, okay! The old Taoist Zhang Zilai has seen the owner. He hurriedly agreed.
Don't say a sergeant, the person who brought him here wanted to recommend himself and do this job himself.
Five taels of silver, that's his salary for two or three months, and it will go up.
"Girl, what do you think of me?"
Jiang Mi: "Do you know how to catch demons?" ”
"No, it won't."
"Will you do it?"
"No, it won't."
……
After lunch, Jiang Mi rented a shop and sold bamboo leaves, and the price was extremely high, ten taels of silver a tael.
Although it is written with thousand-year-old bamboo leaves, the effect is excellent, but there are still few fools to buy it.
Jiang Mi is not in a hurry, he has a lot of money-making plans in his mind, and he can make a lot of money by taking out one or two at random.
After taking Zhang Zi back and forth to the alliance, he looked at the buildings isolated on the mountain, and then looked at the golden plaque, on which the eight big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix danced - the first alliance of the universe.
Jiang Mi was like a peerless master, standing sideways, and smiled: "Now I will officially introduce to you, I am the leader of the First Alliance, he is the deputy leader of the Alliance, and you are now the leader of the first group!" ”
Zhang Zilai: "Is there anyone else in the alliance?" ”
"Although there are only three of us for the time being, the alliance will expand day by day, and you will be the backbone member in the future......"
While the two were chatting, Wu Illusion had already walked into the alliance and went to his room to prepare to rest.
Jiang Mi also returned to his room, but did not stop immediately, but sat down at the table and wrote down how to make cakes and peach crisp cookies.
There are still only a few kinds of pastries in this world, such as mung bean cake and jujube paste cake, and there is a great gap and demand in this market.
Although she had never made cakes and peach shortbread biscuits, she had already memorized the recipes for them, including how to make butter and other ingredients.
Early the next morning, Wuhuan and Zhang Zilai were called up by Jiang Mi and started to work.
I went to buy the ingredients first, and I also brought a cow, and if there is no cow, the buffalo can be replaced.
Wuxian looked at the strange square stove and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
Jiang Mi: "Make money, the development of our alliance needs an initial fund, and I want to lead you to make a fortune together." ”
Zhang Zilai: "These things can make a fortune?" ”
"I'm the leader of the alliance, listen to me, that's right, now you go and milk the cows first."
Wu Xuan stood with one hand in front of his chest: "Amitabha, poor monks don't do this." ”
Jiang Mi: "If he doesn't do it, you will go." ”
Zhang Zi came to see the two of them, and finally sighed, so he could only go by himself.
When the egg whites were beaten, Zhang Zilai's saliva almost dripped down: "There are so many eggs, isn't it good to eat them when they are boiled, it's bad!" ”
By the time his hands were sore, he had no more of these thoughts.
When they prepared all the ingredients and put them in the homemade oven, Wuxian and Zhang Zilai didn't have any expectations for this cake, which was a fool's errand.
Until, the rich sweet smell fills the air.
"What smells so good?"
Wuxian also moved her nose twice, and Jiang Mi immediately ran to the kitchen to take out the cake, and the two followed behind her.
The sweet and fluffy cake was presented in front of the three of them, and Jiang Mi unceremoniously tore off a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Well, it's okay."
It is certainly not comparable to the cakes made by various modern special processes and precise proportions, but in this plane, it is certainly a rare delicacy.
Jiang Mi tore off the ball again and sent it to Wuxuan's mouth: "Taste it." ”
There seemed to be a gleam in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to eat.
Jiang Mi hooked his lips: "I thought you wouldn't eat." "There's eggs in there, after all.
"Nothing."
Zhang Zilai put on an old face: "I want to eat too!" ”
Jiang Mi looked at his yellowed face and the accumulated wrinkles, and suddenly lost his appetite: "If you want to eat it, you won't take it yourself." ”
Hearing her words, the corners of his mouth hooked up imperceptibly, and he didn't even notice it.
Zhang Zilai didn't mind Jiang Mi's tone, just eat it, immediately took the whole cake and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.
"It's delicious, fragrant, sweet, and soft, it's suitable for people like me who have bad teeth!"
Jiang Mi: "Then do you think this can make money?" ”
"Absolutely." This time he answered in the affirmative.
Two days later, the shop, which only sells expensive bamboo leaves, added two items, cake and peach crisp.
You can smell the sweet smell from afar, and the children will not leave when they gather around.
My father and mother had no choice but to buy it for them, although the price was a bit high, but if the family had a little money, it was not bad for this money.
Some people go in and buy pastries, and they can't help but ask bamboo leaves: "Why do you still sell bamboo leaves, and it's so expensive?" ”
Zhang Zilai shopkeeper immediately said: "Guest officer, you don't know, this is a thousand-year-old bamboo leaf, which can grow to a thousand years, that is a treasure of heaven and earth, not to mention clearing heat and relieving heat, it can also refresh the mind and strengthen the body......"
