By this time it was already completely dark, but fortunately the moon had come out.

It was the first quarter moon, and it was a little dim, but Qiao Kun was deaf and clear-sighted, and he could see it clearly.

He came to Songjiazhuang, took out some meat from the "sleeve" as a gift, and then knocked on the door gently.

After a while, a janitor came to open the door, and he inevitably cursed.

Because of the cold weather, the janitor was reluctant to open the door, but seeing that it was Qiao Kun and the gift, his originally cold face was a little more smiling.

Qiao Kun gave him some meat, and stuffed it with another twenty yuan, "I came to visit Master Jiang Ziya in Xiate, and I was tired of it." ”

After a while, a servant led Qiao Kun to the hall.

At this time, it was already completely dark, only the dim moonlight, and there were a few oil lamps lit in the hall, but there was a large brazier in the middle, and the charcoal fire in it was burning, but it was bright.

At this time, Song Yuanwai had not yet fallen asleep, he was roasting the fire, chatting with Jiang Ziya by the light of the light.

Qiao Kun couldn't help but sigh, Song Yuan's family was really rich.

At this time, grease was still a rarity, and wealthy families could afford to light oil lamps, and those who were a little worse could only use castor oil.

Castor beans is a kind of crop that came from the West, it is very easy to feed, and its seeds are pressed for oil, which can be used for lighting, but it smells too much to make a stomach.

Even the poorer ones don't even have castor oil, and they have nothing to do at night, so they can only sleep or make children.

Recently, I saw that Song Yuanwai was over seventy or eighty years old, looking very kind, his beard and hair were white, his body was still strong, and his spirit was also strong.

Qiao Kun greeted Song Yuanwai and Jiang Ziya, "See Uncle Shi, see Outside." ”

Although he didn't recognize Song Yuanwai, he could guess who it was.

Song Yuanwai was very happy to see him, and asked Jiang Ziya: "Ziya, is this your nephew?" ”

Jiang Ziya's face was a little helpless, but he still admitted: "It's true." ”

Song Yuanwai greeted Qiao Kun and said, "Come, come!" Child, sit forward. "He is nearly sixty years older than Qiao Kun, and there is nothing wrong with calling a child.

This is clearly not taking advantage, of course Qiao Kun is not disgusted, he found a chair to sit down, and handed over the gift.

Song Yuanwai couldn't help frowning when he saw these gifts: "You kid, Ziya eats fasting, why do you always send some meat?" ”

seemed to smell the smell of wine on Qiao Kun's body again, and said, "This wine, it's okay to eat some." After all, the wine is the jade liquid of Yaochi, and even the gods also go to the Pan Tao Club to eat some wine. ”

Two sentences made Qiao Kun understand, no wonder Jiang Ziya's attitude towards him was perfunctory last time, his previous behavior was like killing, drinking, and eating meat in front of the Shaolin Temple, and asking the abbot to teach the Yijin Sutra.

But he had never heard any precepts from Baiyun Daxian before, eating fasting and the like.

And because he also cultivates martial arts, he often eats meat, and Baiyun Daxian never cares about him.

At this time, I heard Jiang Ziya say: "Senior nephew, why don't we make a bet." ”

Don't you quit gambling? Qiao Kun is not a gambler, and he feels that his luck is not too good, he draws cards and counts on ten consecutive guarantees, and he has always disliked betting with people.

But at this moment, it was Jiang Ziya who spoke, and he still asked, "What bet?" ”

Jiang Ziya said: "If my nephew wins, I will guide my nephew to practice for a year." ”

"What if you lose?"

"If the master and nephew lose, the matter of guiding the cultivation will not be mentioned again."

Qiao Kun asked rhetorically: "Is it also not mentioned again within a year?" ”

In fact, one year of guidance is enough, and Qiao Kun may not need to be guided for long.

But what Qiao Kun dislikes is that the bets on both sides are obviously not equal. What's the gamble?

Hearing this, Song Yuan smiled and said, "This kid is right, Ziya, don't take advantage of the child." ”

Jiang Ziya couldn't help but blush, and finally sighed: "Two years, my nephew won, I will guide you to practice for two years, no more." If I win, please don't bother me again. ”

Qiao Kun didn't know what Jiang Ziya's standard for judging that it could not exceed two years, but this gamble was indeed an opportunity.

Even if it was a little unfair, he admitted it. Then he asked, "I don't know how to gamble?" ”

Jiang Ziya said: "I want to compare my ability to make money with my nephew." ”

Well? Make hay? Qiao Kun couldn't help but be stunned, why should he make money?

He just can't make money, he can only work hard, squeeze himself, and finally come to this world.

"My nephew has made a lot of money from the fence, right?" Jiang Ziya looked at Qiao Kun's eyes with some resentment, "But that's just that you have enough money to do it, so you can't do it." ”

Song Yuanwai next to him was drinking water, and when he heard this, he almost sprayed the water, and coughed twice, "It turns out that you are the one who made a mess of the price of the fence in Chaoge City a few days ago!" ”

"I didn't make any money." Qiao Kun explained that in the end, those fences were pressed in his hands, and he didn't make a move, so he just lost money, and he didn't make a penny.

But Jiang Ziya obviously didn't believe it, and only said, "You and I are based on one tael of silver and make money without using Dao mana." The one who earns two hundred taels of silver first wins. ”

Next to him, Song Yuanwai said: "Ziya, two hundred taels is not a small amount. How long and how long will you earn? ”

Qiao Kun also had this idea, and when he heard Song Yuanwai say it first, he didn't say anything.

Jiang Ziya said: "Then it will be a year, if you don't earn enough two hundred taels, then the one with more silver wins." ”

"One year is too long, how about half a year?" Qiao Kun has no plans to waste a year. He estimated that at most, in half a year, he would be able to cultivate many immortal paths into walking, sitting and lying.

At that time, he didn't want to stay in Chaoge City, if it didn't work, he would go to Xiao Wu to guide him.

"Good!" Jiang Ziya agreed, and added, "One or two are the foundation, and one should be eaten and clothed, and the need to come from this tael of silver." ”

Qiao Kun was happy in his heart. Fortunately, he bought a house early, and with the situation that every inch of land in Chaoge City is expensive, if he still has to pay the rent or the cost of the inn at this time, he is afraid that this two pieces of silver will not last for a few days.

At this time, one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for more than 400 copper coins, and the specific quantity varies slightly according to the fineness of the silver, the quality of the copper coins and the region.

Qiao Kun selected one or two high-grade silver that day and exchanged it for four hundred and twenty yuan, thinking about how to make money.

He knows a little bit of planning, a little bit of programming, a little bit of English, a little bit of copywriting, a little bit of piano, a pretty good cook, a weaver, and a little bit of clothes. Can this make money in this world?

He is still not out of the poor people's mindset, and he still thinks about working to make money. I only think about the industry that suits me.

In his impression, the fastest way to make money is to do business, buy at a low price and sell at a high price, but he doesn't have that talent, and he doesn't have that much money.

He is confident in cooking and cooking, but at this time, people's tastes are very different from his, and I am afraid that he may not be able to accept it.

Qiao Kun thought about it all night, and finally came up with the most common profession, to collect firewood.

Now the weather is very cold, and we need to burn wood for heating and make a fire for cooking.

He has huge strength, and he runs fast, and his force is high, hundreds of thousands of catties of strength, it's a pity not to go to collect firewood.

Others can only resist a hundred catties of firewood, but he can resist thousands of catties back.

I think I can make a fortune in just a month.

Thinking of this, he went to the blacksmith's shop to buy a good wood knife.

He originally thought that the so-called sharpening knives should not be used to cut wood, and saving money should not be saved on tools.

But when he heard the price, he still gave up, thinking that it was better to chop wood with a hand knife, and he still had invisible energy to use.

It's so expensive! Qiao Kun couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, he didn't think it was expensive yesterday, but today he only had one or two pieces of silver to spend, but he couldn't accept it.

Knowing that there was such a gamble, he should have asked Huang Feihu for a machete in the camp of the Zhenguo Army. It's too late.
