Zhang Zi said that the sky was falling, the older scholar Zhou Tong was dizzy, and he bought it in a moment's confusion, and regretted it when he took it home, but it was just some bamboo leaves, and he had a few green bamboos at home, so he couldn't use it if he concocted it.

Why spend so much money on it, O iniquity!

I am a poor boy, I can't even pass the Xiucai exam for so many years, and my family is supported by my mother's dowry, how can I do such a cost-breaking thing?

Zhou Tong went home, only daring to take out the milky cake that his son wanted, but the bamboo leaves were secretly stuffed into his arms.

When the son got the cake, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth, showed a satisfied smile, and then put it on his lips: "Dad, you eat." ”

"Dad doesn't eat it, Jing Xuan just eats it."

"Daddy, take a bite, it's delicious!"

He had no choice but to take a bite, his mouth was full of sweetness, but his heart was very bitter, why did he faint, listen to the shopkeeper's flicker, and buy this worthless bamboo leaf.

Back to the study, pick up the book, but the heart is very irritable, every year in the township test, every year is not in the middle, I don't know when it is a head, now the countryside test is only ten days, presumably it is a busy work in vain, this time not in the middle, I went to the restaurant to be a settler to calculate.

Sighing, seeing the bamboo leaves on the table, thinking that he couldn't waste it if he bought it, he still made a pot of tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, my heart calmed down a lot and I continued to read.

For more than ten days, Zhou Tong drank bamboo leaf tea every day, and his mind became clearer and clearer, and the words and sentences that seemed obscure and difficult to understand were gradually straightened out.

But he didn't find that among them, bamboo leaf tea has a great contribution.

It wasn't until after the township test that he hit! Hit the show!

He suddenly woke up, this year is no different from previous years, they are all the same revision, but this year there is just one more bamboo leaf tea, and he actually won the show.

Jiang Mi said that these four certainly have the effect of bamboo leaf tea, but if he doesn't work hard, no matter how much tea he drinks, it will have no effect.

Relatives and friends came to the door to say goodbye, and a few scholars who also participated in the township examination begged for his manuscript.

This is a normal thing, just like borrowing notes from a top student.

However, Zhou Tong shook his head.

"What's the matter, Brother Zhou can't look down on me when he is admitted to Xiucai?" They looked angry, and the self-esteem of these scholars was the strongest, except for Ji Zhixun.

Zhou Tong: "You really blame me, the books I read are no different from previous years, and this township test can pass, all depends on it!" ”

He took out the bamboo leaves that he had carefully stored, and when he opened the lid, a fresh fragrance wafted out.

Others gathered around: "What is this?" ”

"The bamboo leaves of the First Alliance."

"I've heard of this thing, everyone says that the boss of the first league wants money and wants to go crazy, just this ordinary bamboo leaf, it sells for ten taels of silver and one tael, and doesn't one pound cost a hundred taels of silver?" (Modern conversion methods are used here)

With the popularity of cakes and peach crisp biscuits, bamboo leaves have also become a topic of conversation among many people, but they are basically some negative words.

Zhou Tong: "No, no, no, you don't know, the first alliance of bamboo leaves is really wonderful, after I drank bamboo leaf tea, the whole person is refreshed, flexible thinking, and the brain is much smarter than before, this time I can be admitted to the show, thanks to this bamboo leaf."

Think about it, if there is no performance, how dare he sell ten taels of silver for one tael? ”

Others: "What you said makes sense, why don't I buy some too?" ”

"yes, I'm going to buy some too, I must win next time!"

……

Everyone had a lively discussion, and the next day they all went to the first alliance, rushing to buy bamboo leaves.

This scene frightened Zhang Zilai, he was the shopkeeper in this shop, and he didn't think that the bamboo leaves could be sold, and he fooled Zhou Tong last time, but he was happy for a long time.

"Shopkeeper, take out your bamboo leaves for one hundred taels of silver and one pound, and we will buy bamboo leaves!"

No matter what the reason was, Zhang Zilai immediately put a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face and warmly entertained them.

After these people tried bamboo leaf tea, they found that the effect was really good, and even began to give gifts to this bamboo leaf.

Due to the large number of people buying, the price of bamboo leaves has increased several times, but more people have bought them.

Many wealthy people bought it for the princes and nobles, and because the number of bamboo leaves was limited, the price was speculated higher and higher.

The hot sale of bamboo leaves made Jiang Mi see the development prospects of demon hunting.

The reason for the establishment of the First Alliance of the Universe Flood Desolation was originally to catch demons, but if you think of some ways to make money all day long, you will lose your principles.

It's better to catch demons to make money, the ontology of monsters that have been cultivated for so many years can be said to have accumulated the essence of hundreds of thousands of years.

Of course, the first rule of the First Alliance of the Universe Flood Desolation is: don't let go of a bad demon, don't catch a bad demon!

Jiang Mi is not the kind of person who is dead-headed, monsters also have the right to survive, if they don't come to infringe on humans, she won't catch them, it's best not to have anything to do with them.

During this time, Fang Lizhe also came to a letter, Old Man Fang was indeed sick and wanted him to accompany him, he planned to accompany the old man over there for a period of time, at least a few months, at most half a year, or even a year.

Jiang Mi immediately replied with a letter, telling him not to worry, she could take care of herself.

Everything else is quite smooth, but Mu Zheng doesn't know where to hide, and there is no trace after looking for more than half a month.

Zhang Zilai: "Alliance leader, Lao Dao has a junior brother who is good at tracking, why don't you let him try?" ”

Jiang Mi: "If you didn't say that there is such a talent, you should have recruited it into the alliance a long time ago." ”

Zhang Zilai laughed dryly, took out a piece of talisman paper and burned it.

Jiang Mi was a little curious: "So he knows where you are?" ”

"No, but after knowing that I'm looking for him, we'll go to an appointed place to meet, and I'll bring him to see you for three days at most."

Two days later, inside an abandoned Taoist temple.

Zhang Zilai met a man in ragged clothes and thin as firewood, only to see him see Zhang Zilai, and immediately rushed up: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a few months, why are you so fat?" ”

Zhang Zilai: "I have something to do with you, I have joined an alliance now......"

He immediately stopped: "Senior brother, what did the master say before he died, let us reinvigorate the Donglai Temple, how can you join other sects now!" ”

He had anger, regret, and sorrow on his face...... A variety of emotions are fused on the face, which is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

Zhang Zilai: "Food and shelter, the monthly salary is five taels, and if you do well, there are some that rise, I have already taken fifty taels this month." ”

"Senior brother, how can I bear to see you alone in a sea of suffering, I want to join this sect!"

Zhang Zilai was not surprised that he would say such a thing, they have no ability, but they have no room to play, they can't even eat, and what they say to revive the Taoist temple is all.

"I just wanted you to join you this time."

"That's great, let's go, I haven't eaten all day."
