Chapter 285: The Touching of Silent Payment
Looking around, there was nothing but the big trees and the occasional pedestrian passing by on the official road.
Shaking his head, Ye Zhen took out a penny from his golden purse and put it in the woodcutter's hand.
"A penny, three trees, trouble uncle" Ye Zhen put the penny in the woodcutter's hand, and took two steps back.
Not to mention, this woodcutter chops wood all the year round, and he really has a hand in cutting trees, and the angle, and strength all make me very good, and after a while, a big tree with a thick waist will fall to the ground.
Soon, the three trees were finished, and the woodcutter cut down the branches and took them home to burn for firewood, and then, together with the coachman, cut the trees into six sections and carried them onto the ox cart.
"Thank you, uncle, the asking price between you and this brother is really small," Ye Zhen also pointed out.
When the woodcutter heard this, his body stiffened, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile on his face, saying, "That's right, it's just a good idea, it's enough to buy a baked cake for a penny, and these firewoods."
Ye Zhen nodded, and immediately stopped speaking, but on the way back, he suddenly turned his head and said, "How much did Xiaohua give you?" ”
"Everything... Forehead... Who is Floret? The woodcutter came back to his senses suddenly, and a cold sweat instantly flowed down his face, just... Ye Zhen has some differences.
The cold sweat on the woodcutter's face had almost turned into a stream, and you must know that he didn't sweat when he cut down the tree just now.
"Uncle... I advise you to go see the doctor..."Ye Zhen shook his head slightly, only thinking that this woodcutter was sick, sweating so much, and not dying of dehydration after a long time?
However, Ye Zhen, who was sitting in an ox cart and swaying towards the city, didn't know that the woodcutter who was sweating like rain was trembling violently in front of Xiaohua at this time.
"Little Flower Lady... Small.. The little one didn't expect the Ye Xiang Guild to be so smart..."The woodcutter trembled, and he didn't know if he was too scared, and then he turned into a big catfish!
"Forget it, you go back, the young master is naturally smart, and it seems that he is still born to know, how can this little trick of mine be hidden from the young master" Xiaohua sighed.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and gave the catfish essence a spirit grass, and said, "Eat it, and then go back to practice, you freshly transformed catfish essence, if you do evil, there will be many defenders who will stew you."
Seeing that Xiaohua really didn't seem to be ready to kill him, the catfish essence finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the spirit grass in his mouth, and didn't want firewood, and after thanking Xiaohua for his kindness, he hurriedly ran away.
Before you know it... Xiaohua, who once had more than 300 years of cultivation, couldn't even beat a wild dog, and now... But it has become a famous demon for a hundred miles.
Even some practitioners in Taoist temples knew about the existence of Xiaohua.
But Xiaohua did not violate the rules of heaven, and has always done good deeds, and even often went to temples and Taoist temples to pray for blessings.
The most important thing is that although Xiaohua's strength is not very strong, it is very proficient in Taoism, and it is impossible to accept Xiaohua without paying a huge price, so in the past two years... Xiaohua can also live peacefully in Hangzhou City.
After entering the city, Ye Zhen thought of what he needed, so he asked the coachman to send the wood to the Ye Ji Teahouse, and asked all the way on his side, and bought some tools in the carpentry workshop and blacksmith shop.
After glancing at the time, Ye Zhen hurried back to the teahouse, and the three giant trees were already lying in the small courtyard.
"The young master's body has not recovered yet, how can he take these heavy objects" Seeing some strange things in Ye Zhen's arms, Xiaohua said, and quickly reached out to grab them.
"Young Master, these are... What is it..."Removing the thing from the package, Xiaohua took an object rather curiously.
Ye Zhen took the object, and said with a painful face, "This thing is called a handsaw, I asked the blacksmith to build it, for this thing, young master, I spent half a tael of silver...".
"Young master, don't worry, although our family is not very rich now, it is not bad for this money," Xiaohua comforted with a smile.
Ye Zhen licked his lips and nodded, how much is Xiaohua's silver, in Ye Zhenxin's heart, it is almost Xiaohua's dowry, with Xiaohua's silver... Even if it's just a penny, Ye Zhenxin is very awkward.
"It seems... In the future, it is the right way to find a way to make money as soon as possible," Ye Zhen thought silently.
However, Xiaohua on the side looked at Ye Zhen with a strange face, curious that the young master had already guessed that he was helping him, but why he didn't seem to have found out.
"Could it be that I'm overthinking?" Xiaohua said.
Ye Zhen, who was busy on the side, did guess something, and the only possible person was Xiaohua.
It's just that Xiaohua did all this for his good, and the reason why he hid it was also for fear of hurting his self-esteem.
Xiaohua's delicate little face, the kind of expression waiting for reprimand, Ye Zhen had already seen it in the corner of his eyes, but he smiled in his heart, and said secretly, "You pay so silently, if I go to question you and lose my temper with you, am I still a man?" ”
"In real life, there are many artists who were eating soft rice in their early years, but now that I am awake, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future, which is worthy of your hard work as a girl, and worthy of my identity as a traverser."
"This bed, let's make it together" Ye Zhen asked the blacksmith to build a handsaw that could be built by two people.
He took out a piece of charcoal from the stove and drew a drawing on the bluestone floor.
Carpenter Ye Zhen once sat as a small worker for half a year, although this bed is not sure to be made into a work of art, but it is definitely no problem to sleep with people.
It's just that...
"When did my words get so good?" At first, I thought that the drawings had not been found, but after the flowers were finished, when I looked at it again, Ye Zhen found that the words he wrote were a hundred times more beautiful than the so-called calligraphy on TV!
Although those calligraphy people have a lot of water, they look a hundred times better... Ye Zhen's eyes lit up, but he thought of a good way to make money.
"The Great Song Dynasty is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, don't say anything else, just rely on your own good words, you can mix well anywhere..."
And Xiaohua saw that her young master had been staring at the words on the ground in a daze, and after a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Young master, what's wrong, did you encounter any trouble?" ”
"Or... Let's go buy a bed," Xiaohua suggested.
Ye Zhen shook his head slightly, smiled without saying a word, lifted the handsaw from the ground, used charcoal to spend a few threads on the body of the tree, and then asked Xiaohua to give him a hand.
However, sawing and sawing, Ye Zhen found that even if he didn't use his strength, the saw was moving rapidly.
Even because of the speed, the tree body is smoking!
However, Xiaohua was a little happy, after Ye Zhen let go, at a very fast speed, as if he was not sawing trees, but cutting tofu, Ye Zhen originally expected the most time-consuming step, but it was completed in the time when Ye Zhen was in a daze!
"Little Flower... You're... Strength also..."Ye Zhen's mouth opened slightly, looking at Xiaohua a little speechless.
Xiaohua's heart suddenly burst out, and she said weakly, "Xiaohua... Xiaohua is born with great strength, and when she was a child, the young master was chased and bitten by a dog... It's still Xiaohua who helps run away."
Ye Zhen blushed slightly, although he didn't know if what Xiaohua said was true or not, but since Xiaohua was so powerful, Ye Zhen was ready to be lazy.
Anyway, he doesn't have a man's face in front of Xiaohua, and the next group will be handed over to jokes, Ye Zhen only needs to do the final assembly, polishing, and carving procedures.
