Chapter 110: On the Importance of Names (4,000 Chapters)
(PS: Heaven Remnant Dust, Heaven Remnant Dust, Heaven Remnant Dust...... If you apologize, you have to say it three times, and don't say anything, the tanuki is blind...... )
Handmade is a status symbol in the modern world, such as some custom suits and shoes, and people who do not have a certain net worth cannot touch this level. But here, it represents backward production conditions, and it also represents unnecessary consumption of time.
Ye Xi knew this very well, so he was not stingy in the early investment, and spent money to hire more than a dozen craftsmen, plus a few free coolies such as Erbald, as well as the kindness of some neighbors...... Under the command of the little girl Guoli, so many people performed their duties and worked for two days, which barely erected the prototype of the medical hall.
This does not include some necessary wooden utensils such as medicine cabinets for holding medicinal herbs, Ye Xi is all ready-made, otherwise even if these craftsmen and masters are efficient, I am afraid they will have to be busy for a few more days.
And Rao is now the prototype of the medical hall has come out, but there are a lot of follow-up things, not to mention anything else, just the hall and the mess left by the busy work in the past two days, we have to clean up some time. But two days later, at noon, the craftsmen withdrew in unison.
Craftsmen are charged on a daily basis, which means that even if you are busy for half a day, they will be charged for one day's wages. Ye Xi didn't care about this, after all, the big money was out, and it was not a loss to buy this little money to be comfortable for himself.
But his proposal was rejected by the little girl, and after despising his serious waste of not knowing the cost of firewood and rice, he immediately settled the wages and decisively sent the more than ten craftsmen away......
So, this noon.
Ye Xi, Huang Laoguo, Pear and Erbald and other Oak Road Gang of Five, a group of eight people enjoyed lunch in this messy environment.
A bowl of sour plum soup, two steamed buns.
During the banquet, Erbald leaned over awkwardly, looked at the fruit pear who kept looking around and was full of a sense of accomplishment, and hesitated to exclaim: "Eldest sister head ......"
"What?"
"Hey...... Hey hey ......"
Interrupted to appreciate the prototype of the medical hall built under his auspices, Guoli turned her head dissatisfied, and rolled her eyes at the smiling Erbald: "What are you silly about, you have something to say, you have a fart, and you can work quickly after eating!"
"Oh, I see the workers are paid...... Then we, hehe......"
"What are you? You also want to be paid?" At the mention of the word money, the little girl's momentum suddenly changed, her attention was highly concentrated, and her face was not good, "You want money for a little favor, and you still think that I am the head of the eldest sister?"
waved his hand again and again, and the second bald decisively coaxed: "No, no, I'll just ask, ask ...... casually"
"Is that so?" his eyes were blazing, and he looked at the bald head that kept nodding like a chicken pecking rice, and then turned his head to look at the rest of the little brothers who were drinking soup with their heads down, full of deterrence. Immediately, Qing Shui's eyes rolled, thinking of something, his expression quickly eased again, and his tone was gentle, "Erbald, listen to what you mean, you have been short of money to spend recently?"
The bare head that was about to be buried in the crotch of his pants quickly raised: "Okay, what are you doing?"
Pointing to the medicine cabinet, "Look, my medical hall is about to open, and I will inevitably recruit a few medicine guys at that time." It's easy, it's effortless, and even a fool can do it. Originally, I was going to hire people outside, but since you call me the eldest sister, then I will leave this job to you. Don't worry about wages, we've known each other for years, and no one will cheat you, right?"
"But we don't know medicinal herbs......"
"What are you afraid of, isn't this your eldest sister and me? I'm here to teach you and make sure the church ...... What are you hesitating about, if it weren't for so many years of friendship, I wouldn't be willing to give this to you......"
On the side, Ye Xi glanced at the fruit pear that was seductive and had little devil horns hidden on his head, and then looked at the Oak Road Gang of Five, who looked grateful and nodded again and again, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Poor people must have something to hate!
You say that you know that your IQ is impressive, so why do you want to provoke this little money fan? Now it's good, not only will the helper's salary not be paid, but you will also fall into a big pit in the future, and you will really die in tricks!
"What to see!" After fooling the ignorant two bald people, Guo Li turned her head contentedly, happened to look at Shang Ye Xi, and immediately raised her eyebrows vigilantly, "I almost forgot to ask, what's going on with you surnamed Ye these days, always looking at me secretly, don't think I didn't find out, what the hell are you doing?"
"Hehe, you're thinking too much. Pouting and smiling, Ye Xi is not a bald person, of course it is impossible for her to be easily tricked.
"Really?"
In fact, Guo Li's feeling is right, since he knew from Huang Jihuai that the little girl had a cultivation talent, Ye Xi has indeed been observing her these days. But...... It seems that in addition to being precocious and intelligent, she is no different from other children, she is dirty all day long, has a good sense of vigilance, and seems to have a strong temperament, which is the characteristic of most children born in Nightfall City, especially the poor children who are in charge early.
From this point of view, with her cultivation talent, she is ordinary.
But in fact, it was because of this ordinariness that Ye Xi, who had to observe secretly, felt a lot of emotion, the reason was very simple, Ye Xi boasted that he couldn't live an ordinary mortal life completely unmoved when he knew that he had cultivation talent and cultivation conditions!
The temptation to detach from the mundane and become a reviser is not something that anyone can ignore.
In fact, if you let a hundred mortals choose, I believe that 100% of them will choose to cultivate without hesitation and become a high-ranking seal cultivator, even if it is to do so.
But Guoli didn't, she still lived an ordinary life with her own budget. Doesn't she know the meaning of her cultivation talent? This can't be, she is very precocious and very smart. Or maybe she doesn't want to be a retoucher? It's not like that, because she's constantly earning her tuition, even to the point of being a money obsesser.
She just has a clear mind that is unique to her, she knows what she is doing, what she is for, and what she will ultimately achieve.
It's rare and terrifying......
"I have a proposal. Guo Li naturally didn't know Ye Xi's psychological conjecture, but he glanced at the other party suspiciously, and said with great interest, "Hurry up and clean up today, how about the official opening of the medical hall in advance tomorrow?"
Do you want to make money from the official opening......
"Not very good. Ye Xi immediately shook his head and objected when he heard this, "I have something important to go out to do tomorrow, and this is where to go, the medical hall has not yet been promoted, and the medicinal materials have not been purchased neatly...... A lot of problems have not been solved and you are in a hurry to open, do you want to waste all this initial investment?"
These are indeed objective problems, but what Ye Xi really cares about is tomorrow, tomorrow is the official opening day of the Western Seal Academy. Of course, this Ye Xi will not say it explicitly, especially in front of Guo Li.
"Oh, too. Hearing that the initial investment might be wasted, the little girl immediately changed her position, "Then wait a few more days and prepare again...... By the way, what do you think should be the name of this medical center?"
Ye Xi was stunned when he heard this, anyway, he couldn't help patting his head after coming over, I wiped it, I have been observing small wealth fans for the past two days, and I have forgotten about it. The medical hall is about to open, and the signboard hasn't been thought of yet, isn't it a joke?
"Jin Dou Medical Hall, do you think this name is good?" Unlike Ye Xi, the little girl obviously had a plan for this a long time ago, and immediately asked herself.
Ye Xi was speechless: "Why don't you just call Jinshan Medical Hall?"
"That's too cheesy, it doesn't mean anything. Gold fights, gold fights, every day into gold, how good this sounds. ”
So you still know how vulgar you are......
"I think the Qinglong Medical Center is good. ”
"The black tiger is also good. ”
"It's good to kill at night, it's domineering to kill at night!"
Needless to say, this is naturally from the mouth of the Oak Road Gang of Five, which is full of dreams of gangsters.
Covering his face, Lao Tzu really believes in your evil, is this name to open a medical hall to save people? Or to open a black shop to kill people...... Too lazy to deal with these completely unreliable people, Ye Xi turned his head to look at Huang Lao beside him: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Huang Lao smiled and waved his hand: "Old and old, this is your business, or it is better for you to choose your own name." ”
After a few shirks, seeing that Huang Lao really had no intention of interfering, Ye Xi rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, he was not good at naming this kind of thing, otherwise the black ape brother would not have called Ye Xiaoer: "Or call it Chengnan Medical Hall, it's easy to remember." ”
"Huh!" This is not only Guo Li, but even the second bald people scoffed, obviously thinking that this name was weak.
The little girl's eyes turned again: "Let's raise our hands to vote, this is the fairest." ”
Ye Xi snorted lightly, fair, what are you kidding, with his toes, he knew who the two bald people supported, and pouted: "I am the biggest proprietor of the medical hall, and I have the final veto power." ”
"I built the medical hall under my auspices, and the drawings were drawn by my grandfather, and you, the biggest proprietor, don't care about anything, it's useless!"
"Yo he, look at you like this, you're going to revolt!"
"If you want to revolt, you will rebel, Erbald, shout to me......"
......
After a lot of noise, in the end, Huang Lao played a round.
As a result, the signboard of the medical hall was officially released - the Jindou Medical Hall in the south of the city!
Immediately, looking at the wind rushing out of the hospital gate, and rushing back like lightning to ask for money from the wry smile Ye Xi, and rushing out of the hospital door again like the wind to find someone to order a gilded signboard, Ye Xi sighed and turned his head, looking at the happy old man beside him: "Huang Lao, the name of the medical hall, are you sorry?"
"Hehe, it's a little indecent. But vulgarity is elegance, and this is the city of nightfall, so it's a bit appropriate to think about it. "Okay, you're old, you're reasonable. "Give a thumbs up, turn around and go. Since Huang Lao, who has a great reputation, doesn't care, what else can Ye Xi say?
......
The next day, early in the morning.
Ye Xi got up early, and after washing quietly, he pulled out a wooden box from under the bed and opened it, and what was placed in it were objects that were different from the world.
A few piles of jujube wood prints, this is the inventory saved in the past few days. There's also a bunch of printed coins, a ghost car order, and a knife book. That is, the knife spectrum of the ghost slashing knife, but unfortunately the ghost slashing knife is gone.
With those dozens of coins in his hand, Ye Xi thought about it, then took off the scimitar from the wall and hid it at his waist, and pushed the door out.
The scimitar was just bought from an armory shop in the past two days, and after experiencing the Blood Knife Hall incident, Ye Xi began to realize that the scimitar was more effective than the seal technique when facing the trouble of mortals.
The sky was cloudy, the rare remnant stars were not extinguished, and a little cool night wind blew, and the whole person was suddenly much more sober.
The place where Ye Xi lives is a wing room in the corner of the backyard, if this is in a large family, it is generally prepared for concubines, and there is still some distance from the main house where Huang Lao and Guoli live. People are polite because people believe in your character, but you can't help but know what to do, and the place where you live now is Ye Xi's own intentional choice, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and it has a bad reputation if you live too closely.
Of course, Ye Xi's move has another meaning, that is, to settle that Huang Jihuai's heart.
Don't look at the previous meeting, Huang Jihuai was grateful and requested, showing a familiar heart-to-heart appearance.
But after all, he is Guoli's father and Huang Lao's son, and in fact, he didn't pull down the meaning he should have expressed. Just looking at the more than ten elite followers who followed him at that time, he knew that he was deliberately showing off his muscles. Otherwise, it's just a conversation, how can there be such a big show? Of course, what he did was more subtle, Ye Xi was a seal repairer after all, and everyone was also a smart person, so they just knew each other.
I had already said hello at dinner last night, so Ye Xi didn't leave any more messages, and quietly walked through the courtyard and came to the front door. This place is no longer full of messes at noon yesterday, and it has basically restored the neat and clean appearance that Ye Xi saw when he first came, and there are still some small changes in the subtleties, such as the road from the front door to the front hall, which is repaved with neat bluestone slabs, which looks quite refreshing.
This is Ye Xi's idea, which means that when you open the door, you can see a new atmosphere, remembering that the little girl was extremely painful at that time, calculating how much a stone slab is, Ye Xi couldn't help but smile, shook his head slightly, pulled the wooden bolt, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out, "Is it Doctor Ye?" Ye Xi turned his head in astonishment, and saw a big man in a gray coat not far away, standing next to a carriage with a set of carriages, and saluted respectfully, "My name is Hong San, and I was sent by Hall Master Huang to send you to Xicheng Academy." ”
Look, what is a ground snake, if Ye Xi is really a bad guy who has any thoughts about the old man and grandson Huang in this position, it is estimated that he will be surrounded by a large number of people before he can make a move......
"Ha, since Brother Huang is so thoughtful, then I'm welcome. "The cheap delivery to the door is not taken advantage of, just save Ye Xi will walk out of the alleyway and then call a taxi, strode over, and arched his hand, "Trouble Brother Hong, thank you." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, Doctor Ye, you are the distinguished guest of the master of the Hong Hall, just call me Hong San. ”
Ye Xi was no longer polite when he heard this, it was really not good to call this thing, he called Huang Jihuai Brother Huang, and it was not good to call the little brother in front of him Brother again. But then again, Huang always used him as an equal, but he and Huang Jihuai called him brothers, how can you say this...... It's a mess of paste, don't mention it.
Climb aboard the carriage and sit in the carriage. With the soft sound of the horse's hooves, Ye Xi officially headed for the Western Academy.
In the past and present life, this is the first time Ye Xi has gone to school to report, and he feels quite novel and complicated in his heart.
Somehow, Ye Xi suddenly remembered a nursery rhyme I heard out of nowhere in the present world - the sun shines on the head, and the flowers smile at me. The bird said early, why are you carrying a bag of explosives? I'm going to blow up the school, and the teacher doesn't know. lit the fire and ran quickly, and with a bang, the school was gone......
Ha...... Ye Xi grinned silently, shaking his head and laughing. Is this a sign? I just went to the academy, so I shouldn't need to be so brutal......
