Chapter 53 All of us are scholars

Zi Xiaoxiao said to herself, but the young man on the side was no longer interested. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He didn't have any interest in that transcendent Akinayama Great Disciple, and he didn't want to make any comments about him.

It's just that at the moment, this girl is chattering non-stop, and Li Molan feels that even if she leaves immediately, this female disciple of the Dao Sect who is immersed in her own world will not notice.

Li Molan is not a person from the Daomen.

He is now just an ordinary person without any background, and the top priority is to solve the family financial situation that is about to be urgent, rather than accompanying this girl to talk about those people who can't fight with him, which doesn't make any sense.

So Li Molan took two steps back, and after making sure that Zi Xiaoxiao, who was still worshipping and saying something, didn't notice anything, she turned around and left, her clothes swayed in the wind and snow, and soon disappeared into the crowd on Yichang Street.

From the Wudao Temple, I walked all the way to the south of the city, and walked to the door of the courtyard of No. 12 Wutong Lane.

The sky was still dark, and the snow was falling one by one.

This kind of snow color is very lacking in the momentum that Lin'an City should have, and it is more like a resentful boudoir woman.

Pushing the door in, the door was not locked, and there was no one in the yard.

However, the snow in the yard was swept aside, and it seemed that the eldest girl in the family had not been idle all day.

Qin Li was warming himself on the stove in the house, and black cooking smoke curled up from the chimney of the house.

Li Molan walked into the house and sat on the bed, feeling depressed.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Li emerged from under the stove, his thin body was covered with a quilt, and the whole person looked like a large meat bun.

The firewood in the stove crackled.

Li Molan sighed and said, "There is no money at home." ”

Qin Li asked, "What's wrong?"

"Aren't they ashamed to be ashamed of the dignified Enlightenment Academy, who actually have to charge fees to save their lives, and actually rely on education to generate income?"

When he said this, his expression was already full of resentment, as if the faith in his heart had been overthrown.

Qin Li asked nervously: "How much? Ten taels, twenty taels, it won't be to cheat us out of half a month's living expenses, right?"

Li Molan showed an expression of wanting to cry without tears, and sat on the bed without saying a word, with her hands on her thighs, exuding a sad atmosphere.

The little girl was even more nervous and asked, "You won't ask for fifty taels, will you?"

Li Molan covered her face, and after some struggle, she said sadly: "Two hundred taels." ”

"Two hundred taels?!" Qin Li's voice was very sharp, "How can it be so expensive?"

Li Molan said that she had no idea whether there was a dirty inside story behind this price, and she looked sad.

Their living expenses are only seventy taels now, and compared to speculating about whether the Wudao Academy office is hiding some ulterior secrets, deliberately raising the price to fill his pockets, now he must care about some practical problems.

Qin Li frowned slightly, sat next to the stove in the quilt, and said while calculating: "Xiaolan, the silver money under us now is only seventy taels, forget the things that you missed when you bought pots and pans yesterday, there is not so much money to go extravagant, and it costs a lot of money to eat every day, I know that you say that you eat vegetable wontons every day, but you will definitely not be happy if you really insist on three months, we can't save money, we can only earn money." ”

"How do you make money?"

Li Molan fell on the bed.

The wooden bed made a thud, the sound of the back of his head hitting the wooden board, accompanied by the creaking moaning of the bed board and the pain in the boy's head.

The young man covered his head and sat up again, only to find that not only was the quilt gone on the bed, but even the mattress spread on the wooden board was gone, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the big girl who wrapped himself in a ball with the quilt, and asked, "The quilt is on you, what about the mattress?"

"Under the ass. ”

Qin Li looked like I didn't know anything.

Li Molan rolled her eyes and said, "How to make money...... Give me some advice. ”

Qin Li, who had built a thick defensive fortress with bedding like a snowman, thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that you could make wine? There is also that particularly powerful acacia wine, I haven't really seen you brew it for many days, why don't you try it?"

Li Molan looked at the little girl's ball-like shape, and said deflatedly: "Forget it, my stunt acacia wine needs the locust tree to bloom, this Lin'an City greening is good, and in the spring, the catkins are flying all over the sky, but the willow tree is not a locust tree, let alone flowering, how can I make locust wine? I haven't heard of willow leaf wine." ”

"Then be an ordinary winemaker, I didn't let you make such a valuable wine. ”

Qin Li whispered.

The young man opened his mouth, and after a long while, he said: "I can't look down on those ordinary drinks, not to mention that I come to sell myself like this, and I can't shine immediately, at most I am an apprentice, how can I say that I am also a seasoned top winemaker, compared to the master of the Lin'an City wine shop, how can I help them like a junior who doesn't know anything, waiting for the people there to discern their talents? Where do they have that qualification!"

Qin Li shouted angrily: "You are not a master brewer, you yourself said that you are a scholar now, don't you? Since you want to wait for the opening assessment in March in Lin'an City, you can't go to brew wine to make money? It's a big deal to steal the most famous boiled flower stones in Lin'an City, and then sell them at a low price, you can always make money, right?"

Li Molan looked at the angry girl and retorted a little weakly: "This is ...... The dignity of a top brewmaster...... Those ordinary brewing masters can't be compared, what famous wine I didn't drink when I first walked the world? In the end, it's all in vain, as for the boiled flower stone in Lin'an City, although the taste is reasonable, but ......"

His voice seemed weak and unrelenting.

Qin Li glared at him.

"Okay...... Tomorrow I'll see if I can find a sake brewery and show off my strength......"

Li Molan was finally defeated.

There are actually a lot of wineries in Lin'an City, and they are indeed concentrated in the more chaotic southern area of the city.

Li Molan ran around on the second day and found a lot of small wineries, but they were basically dirty and messy, and the ones sold were all seepage wines that did not live up to the name.

Occasionally, I met a person who claimed to brew boiled flower stones, Li Molan walked to the door and just sniffed casually, and smelled that this was another small workshop selling fake wine.

After all, out of desperation, Li Molan chose a small winery to settle in.

This is also a place to make fake wine to deceive people, but fortunately, the owner is a person with ideals and ambitions, and he is not willing to open a small winery forever.

It happened that at this time, Li Molan came to the door and proposed a "strategic cooperation plan" with him, taking a boutique route, which immediately attracted the favor of the other party.

In fact, the owner of the winery didn't understand what the so-called "strategic cooperation plan" was a rare term, nor did he understand what the boutique route was, and at first he did despise this self-recommended teenager, but Li Molan walked into the cellar and sniffed it casually, and said the names of these different wines, and guessed how many taels of water was mixed in after tasting a few sips, which suddenly shocked the boss and said that he was responsible for all needs.

Although Li Molan doesn't like the environment here, that's all she can do for the time being.

First of all, I inquired about the process of boiling flower stones, although I didn't hear a reason, but it was enough to make a similar taste.

After tinkering for more than ten days, he finally made some achievements, and then Li Molan retreated into the background, and pointed out the workers here, who don't come to the wine shop on weekdays, giving people a rather mysterious feeling.

At noon on this day, the cold air came suddenly, and the goose feathers and snow fell one after another.

Of course, Li Molan would not go to the winery on a snowy day, anyway, the owner of the winery had already worshiped himself as a god and a nobleman, and he could do anything.

He had to spend more time preparing for the opening examination in three months' time.

In addition to the kitchen stove and sleeping beds, there is also a table.

This table was also not taken away by the owner when he left, although it was old, the legs were still uneven and sometimes rickety, but a sage book could be solved underneath.

The table top was shiny and shiny, and many books, old and new, were piled on top of it, a bit like a stack of mountains.

"I'm going to read it too?"

Qin Li looked at these books and scriptures that were picked up by Li Molan in surprise.

"Whether it is cultivating the Tao or cultivating demons, it is essential to conceive and cultivate the soul, if you want to broaden your knowledge of the sea and cultivate the soul, you must read more, everyone is the same. ”

Li Molan's expression was serious and serious.

"Youkai want to read too?"

Qin Li had obvious distrust on his face.

"You're not a demon, you just have demon blood!"

Li Molan criticized the education: "Your demon cultivation is to take the path between people and demons, and tend to people, I have checked a lot of books, this is not the first time about your example, if you want to practice, you must be a cultivator at the same time supplemented by the way of cultivating demons, the first thing is to cultivate the Tao, and the second is to learn to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon with demon beasts." ”

"But I can't read. ”

Qin Li tried to struggle.

Li Molan seemed to have become a stern division commander, and said with a straight face: "I'll teach you." ”

"But you don't want it yourself? You're the one who will take the Enlightenment Academy's assessment in three months!"

"Hmph, our biggest hobby since childhood is reading, and we are born to know it, just a mountain assessment, why bother? Besides, ...... Isn't that two months left......"

"It's almost the New Year, I think I should go and prepare what I need for the New Year......"

Qin Li shook his head and prepared to leave.

"Eldest sister, do you think you ran away?"

Li Molan was full of smiles.

At this moment, he felt like a thief who was about to plot against the girl he met in the dark alley, and grabbed the girl's white little wrist.

"I'm not that big!"

Qin Li struggled and said, but how could her strength be greater than Li Molan, so she had to be pulled to the desk little by little, facing a table of quotations from the sages of her predecessors who were hard to buy.

"Okay, Sister Qin Li. Li Molan said.
