It is customary in Bactria that men reach adulthood at the age of sixteen, while women reach adulthood at the age of fourteen.

For both men and women, on the day of adulthood, it is customary to hold a coming-of-age ceremony.

On this day, adult boys and girls first have to hold a ritual to worship the gods, and then their parents come forward to set up a banquet in front of their homes, inviting neighbors, relatives and friends to come to their homes as guests, and the whole banquet will not end until the evening. Grabbing the sting

Wen Jiming's birthday is June 28th, and since there are no parents, the entire preparation for the coming-of-age ceremony is naturally undertaken by the old man Wenli.

Seeing that June is approaching, there is still no clue how to hold the coming-of-age ceremony of the head of the family.

Wen Li, the old man who was worried about this, came to the small courtyard where his junior, the former director of the storage base, Wen Ze, lived, that night.

Wen Ze, it should be called Wen Chengze now. Since Wen Jiming has already set a genealogy for the Wen family, Wen Ze's generation is a generation of inheritors, so naturally his name was changed to Wen Chengze.

Since becoming the apprentice of the old mage Giannis, the old man Wenli was afraid of delaying Wen Chengze's studies, so he no longer let him take the position of director of the storage base so that he could concentrate on his studies.

And Wen Chengze himself, not only is he better than ordinary people in the magician profession, but he is also very diligent and studious, and he has been promoted to a second-order mage in just over a month, second only to Aristock's disciples Li Quan and Zhang Zhao among many magician apprentices.

Wen Chengze, who was reading a book, couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw the old man Wenli walking into his small courtyard.

"Uncle, why do you have time to come over?"

The elder Wenli was a little upset when he heard this.

"Why, can't I come?"

"Amazing! I look forward to you coming over for a drink or two every day, but I don't see you coming! ”

The old man Wen Li was a little helpless Wen Chengze's mouth, interrupted him and said.

"Okay, you find someone, talk to the dining room, let them make a few dishes with wine, and then send them to you."

Wen Chengze smiled when he heard this.

"Oh, I can get your light again, the dishes of my uncle's house are really delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat them every day."

Wen Chengze said as he walked out of the door, he walked out of the door of his room, beckoned a servant who was specially guarding the courtyard, and asked him to go to the dining hall of Wenfu to help the old Wenli pass the word.

Wen Li asked as he waited for him to return to his room.

"Why, why can't you eat the food in the house every day, doesn't the canteen cook it for you?

Wen Chengze hurriedly explained.

"No, no, I'm not embarrassed to rub my uncle's food, I'm afraid that after I get used to eating, I won't be able to adapt to ordinary meals." ”

Wen Li scolded with a smile.

"You kid just love to think nonsense, why does the head of the family like these magical things, isn't it just to make our lives more comfortable, the head of the family said, when will the people under our rule be able to eat the dishes we eat now, and be able to eat them every day, that is called a real good life."

Wen Chengze exclaimed. 巘戅巘戅

"What I admire is my uncle, you see that the current Han County is much stronger than other counties, yesterday they told me that the people of Han County now have a monthly income of at least two yuan, and I have written to my parents to move here."

Wen Li agreed with him.

"Yes, let's let them move over, who knows when there will be a war again, recently I got information, all the princes are preparing for war, this is not a good sign, let your parents move the house quickly."

"As for the income statistics you mentioned, it was made by the head of the family, and the data for the first half of this year is like this, but it is still not enough, the head of the family said, when will the people be able to afford most of the goods, and when will it be considered to be truly up to standard."

After that, the old man Wenli took out the cigarette pouch, and when he was about to take out the tobacco leaves, Wen Chengze hurriedly took out a box of filter cigarettes and handed it over.

"Uncle, you smoke this."

Wen Li took the cigarette, took one out of it, lit it and took a puff, and then said to Wen Chengze.

"I heard that you are now a second-order magician?"

Wen Chengze smiled after hearing this.

"Yes, the teacher also praised me, saying that I was a natural magician and had good talent."

Wen Li nodded in approval.

"Good job, your magic rice has been sent out there, can you eat it every day now?"

Wen Chengze stood up and said after hearing this.

"Don't you say I almost forgot, those rice grains are very effective, and after eating, I feel very obvious, and my magic savings are much more than usual!"

Wen Li put the cigarette he had smoked on the ashtray on the table, and said after extinguishing it.

"Alan Borg, a good friend of the head of the family, brought another 100,000 stone of magic rice yesterday, and I will send some more to your academy tomorrow."

Before the words fell, Wen Chengze's servant walked in with two miscellaneous servants from the Wenfu dining room with the cooked dishes.

Wen Li asked, looking up.

"What kind of food did you cook tonight?"

One of the handymen in the dining room, after placing the dishes on the table, replied respectfully.

"When I go home, I will bring you four hot dishes, one is dry braised crucian carp, one sweet and sour pork ribs, one rich chicken, and one spicy tofu, all of which are your favorite heavy dishes. In addition, I will bring you a food box, rice made with magic rice. ”

Wen Li was very happy after hearing this, and said to the handyman.

"Yes, then thank you for your principal, go back and tell your principal, the two of you, each receive 200 new money as errand fees."

After hearing this, the two hurriedly saluted Wen Li.

"Thank you, old man!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Aristok walked in through the door.

"Old family, I've been looking for you for a long time, oh, there are so many dishes, then I'm welcome, hehe."

The old man Wenli hurriedly gave way.

"Sit down and eat together, we can't finish so many dishes, Cheng Ze, go get dishes for your uncle."

Wen Chengze hurriedly stood up and called Uncle Shi, and then went out to Zhang Luo, and after a while, he came in with the servants at home and put the utensils on the table.

Wen Chengze held a small jar of wine and said to the two people at the table.

"This is my mother, the medicinal wine brewed with my uncle's Du Kang wine, uncle and uncle, you can also taste it."

When everyone took a sip of the medicinal wine poured by Wen Chengze, Wen Li asked Aristock. Grabbing the sting

"What's the matter with me?"

Aristock, while reaching out to grab a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, replied.

It's not like you need to install the equipment, you need labor, so you can ask the family to help you. “

Wen Li was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked carefully.

"What kind of equipment, what is it for?"

Aristock chewed ribs in his mouth and replied vaguely.

"We have succeeded in making a small device for making electricity, and now we need to build a large device so that we can continue experimenting."

The old man Wenli thought about it carefully, as if there was such a thing, it was another whimsical idea of the head of the family, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, how many people do you need?"

Aristok counted the workload and replied.

"Send me 300 people first, the equipment is quite large."

The old man nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Due to his age, Wen Li's own food was not large, and after eating for a while, Wen Li felt that he was almost full, so he gave himself another glass of medicinal wine, and after taking a sip, finally said his problem.

"On the twenty-eighth of next month, the head of the family will become an adult, Chengze, you happen to be eighteen years old that day, but how to do this coming-of-age ceremony of the head of the family, I don't have a clue yet, do you have any good ideas?"

After Wen Chengze and Alistock listened, they both began to think seriously, and after a while, Wen Chengze took the lead in speaking.

"Uncle, after the ancestor worship ceremony is over, you are going to set up a banquet, right?"

Wen Li nodded.

"Yes, now it's mainly a matter of how many tables to set up, and whether the county wants to show it and give some benefits to the county people." Variety Show, Literature, Drama, Literature, Variety Show, Variety Show, Variety T

Wen Chengze continued to express his opinion.

"Let's talk about the banquet first, I don't think there is any need to put it on more, it's enough to make a thousand flowing water seats, and we don't have so many chefs if there are more."

"As for the benefits to the people of the county, how much spare money does the county have now?"

Wen Li put down his glass, thought for a moment, and replied.

"We spent a lot of money to buy food, and now we have 28 million yuan."

When Wen Chengze heard this, he was immediately happy and said happily.

"That's fine, the residents will be paid the same amount of money per person, and the people from other counties will be 500 yuan per person, which adds up to less than 4 million yuan."

"In that case, everyone will be satisfied that day!"

Wen Li decided that he had a good idea, and he was finally happy.

"It's still a young man's brain, and I've been worried about this problem for a few days, so I'll do it according to your idea."

Wen Chengze himself was also very happy, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said to Wen Li.

"Come to Uncle Zu, I will toast you."

After the two of them had finished clinking glasses, Aristock asked Wenli.

"Elder family, Wen is coming of age on the 28th of next month, right?"

Before Wen Li could answer, Wen Chengze rushed to help him answer.

"Yes, that's right. My uncle and I have the same birthday, both on June 28th. ”

Aristock smiled, then said.

"That's fine, I'll surprise him then."

The elder Wenli remembered something, so he asked Aristock.

"This June is about to enroll students again, and it is said that there are many people who have a career awakening reaction now, are there enough teachers in your college now? If it's not enough, we can go to Kansa City to recruit some, and this matter can be handled directly by the Chamber of Commerce, without going through the head of the family.

Aristock didn't even think about it, and immediately replied to Wenli.

"It's definitely not enough, now our academy is short of teachers in all professions, you better notify the Chamber of Commerce to recruit, if not, find the mercenary union to do it."

Indeed, at present, there is a serious shortage of teachers in the Great Xia Vocational Academy, so many teachers have no choice but to use the auditorium to teach, which is very inconvenient, and Aristuk also hopes to recruit more magicians, who can be assigned to help in the laboratory. ”

At the beginning of June, the Black Iron Dwarf Boss opened two bars in Chengdu and Xincheng at the same time.

Yes, you read that right, it's a bar, not a pub.

The architecture and the way they operate are the same, and they are the kind of popular bars that people frequented on the modern earth.

Both bars are two-storey buildings, with fast food and coffee drinks served upstairs, and a drinking place below, and inside the bar, there are darts and billiards in the corner, providing great entertainment for drinkers.

The counter of the bar is uniformly made into a high bar, and high bar chairs are installed in front of the bar, so that customers can sit in front of the bar and chat with the bartender in the bar.

The bar offers mixed drinks, which the Black Iron Dwarf owner calls cocktails, and the glasses used are all made in Hanjun's local glasses, and the colorful and beautiful appearance of these cocktails attracts a large number of customers.

From this day on, the men had a good place to spend time in addition to leisure, which also caused the two bars to be full every night.

The boss of the black iron dwarf is naturally so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, since he met Wen Jiming, the wealth has been rolling in, and all the ideas that Wen Jiming gave him have been richly rewarded.

On this morning, when the boss of Black Iron opened the door of his bar in Hanjun New Town, an unexpected person appeared in front of him.

"Big Joe! What are you doing here? Is the cultivation over? ”

Da Qiao, who is only two meters and four now, smiled innocently and waved his hand to greet the Black Iron Dwarf Boss.

"Hello, Boss Carlos, long time no see. Well, I'm done cultivating, and now I'm out on an adventure! ”

Carlos hurriedly pulled Big Joe into the house and asked.

"Your parents gave you permission to come out, how many steps are you now?"

Big Joe replied proudly.

"I'm now an eighth order, one order higher than you, my parents naturally rest assured that I would come out on an adventure, not to mention that I came to find Wen, they have no reason not to let me go."

Kairos Copper Hammer hit Big Joe at once, he asked with a look of disbelief on his face.

"How could you possibly have risen to the eighth order, and you went there for training?"

Da Qiao was suddenly asked, he touched the back of his head, and then said.

"I can't remember the name of that continent, it's very long and hard to remember. But according to the messenger, it is at the edge of our time and space, and it is far, far away here, and there are creatures as tall as us, and there are giants. ”

"It's very enjoyable to fight there, it's the same for hunting, and the meat of those monsters is delicious!" Grabbing the sting

With that, Da Qiao wiped his mouth as if there was already drooling there. Fantasy Fantasy

"The reason why I level up so fast is that I eat a lot of food. Eun is my real name. ”

Carlos felt that he had to work hard, and was overtaken by Big Joe in the ranks, making him quite faceless. So he said to Big Joe.

"Wen hasn't come back yet, but he'll definitely be back in another ten days, because his birthday is June 28th."

Big Joe was quite happy to hear this.

'Great, then I'll wait for him here.' ”

The dwarven Black Iron boss was very welcoming.

"Let's go, follow me to the back, I'll help you find a room to live in first, I have a lot of spare rooms here."

On the 27th of June in the 736th year of the Great Xia Calendar, nearly two Wen Jiming, who had no news, finally walked out of the cross-border teleportation array in Han County.

This period of time can almost be described as a rebirth for Wen Jiming, in the past month or so, he has received a total of seven bounty tasks, all of which have been successfully completed, so he has been rated as an intermediate bounty hunter.

But today he has to come back, tomorrow is his birthday, and he has to go home for his own rite of passage.
