236 Open the door!
The people in Taoyuan Township basically don't practice, anyway, according to Zhang Cundao's observation, the people here basically don't practice. In fact, if you think about it, it will be reset here once a year, from the body to the memory, and the cultivation will be beaten back to its original form after a year, so who still practice?
The people here are focused on getting by. The farmer farms, the seller sells things, and the life is very leisurely and carefree.
In Taoyuan Township, it seems that there is a natural relaxed atmosphere here.
Zhang Cundao soon got a big house. This room is on the corner of the street, and it seems a little secluded. It is a two-story brick building.
The house is huge, with more than 100 square meters of rooms facing the street and 100 square meters of rooms facing the backyard. This layout is called the front hall and back hall, and the front hall can be used to open a shop, because there is a second floor, and you can open a tavern.
The back hall is the living and working area, and a backyard is also given, where chickens can be raised and trees planted.
The houses here are all next to each other, with only a half-meter-wide alleyway separating the two houses.
After getting the house, Di Prison and Feng Wu began to clean, and after a while, Zhang Carpenter from the village came to visit.
He said that he was visiting a new neighbor, but in fact, Zhang Cundao thought that he was just coming to see if he could get any work. After all, there is nothing but the house.
It would be great if you could hire him to make some furniture.
Not only the carpenters came, but also the bricklayers. He came to ask if he wanted to rebuild the stove and start the chicken coop......
Except for these two purposeful neighbors, the rest are the neighbors, who are warm-hearted and really come to help.
It was also traded in gold, and he had some stock in his belly, so he took it out to buy some food and drink, and let the neighbors who came to visit eat it.
The neighbors were also delighted. When the meal was almost over, Aunt Zhang next door, that is, the wife of the carpenter Zhang, said to Zhang Cundao: "Xiaodao, this newcomer, it's better to find a living." Otherwise, it will not be easy to live. Don't know what you'll be able to do? ”
Zhang Cundao thought about it for a while, he didn't know much, but it wasn't too little. He knows a little bit about refining weapons, alchemy, and formations.
He just wanted to speak, but Uncle Tang next door, that is, the bricklayer, spoke.
"It's better to have something useful, and if it's farming, it's better to plant something else, don't keep growing rice......"
At this time, Feng Wu raised his hand cautiously and said timidly: "I can stir tea......
The others were stunned for a moment, and then said with joy: "Sister Feng can stir tea?" That's great, we don't have anyone in our village who can stir tea. Everyone drinks tea by picking some tea leaves and drying them, and then throwing them into the pot to boil, and it tastes like drinking medicine. ”
Feng Wu blinked and said, "It's not difficult to stir up tea......
Everyone interrupted her with a smile and said, "Since Sister Feng has this ability, it is better to open a tea shop." We'll all come and patronize the business. ”
When Feng Wu heard this, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Cundao. Zhang Cundao thought about it for a while, and said, "I think it's okay, so let my sister open a tea shop." ”
After hearing this, everyone applauded. After a while, it was getting dark, and everyone helped clean up for a while, and then took their leave.
When they left, Feng Wu asked Zhang Cundao, "Does Brother Zhang also agree with me to open a tea shop?" Don't you want me to continue practicing and control the power in my body? ”
Zhang Cundao put down the rag in his hand and said seriously to Feng Wu: "Feng Wu, this Taoyuan Township looks very calm, but in fact it is not so easy to get along with. People here have meaning in what they say and do. ”
He said lightly: "Do you know why the village chief and the villagers have repeatedly emphasized that we should find a livelihood? ”
Feng Wu shook his head.
Zhang Cundao said: "I estimate that there is a rule in this Taoyuan Township - don't raise idlers!" ”
"Don't keep idlers?" Feng Wu was stunned when he listened.
Zhang Cundao nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, I don't raise idlers, I have carefully looked at whether there is anything here, the people here are mainly families, every family has work, and the worst ones are planting rice." And you find that no, people with craftsmanship are more confident in speaking and doing things. For example, the carpenter and the soup bricklayer. ”
Hearing Zhang Cundao's words, Feng Wu nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Yes, it seems to be like this......"
Zhang Cundao looked at her and nodded, but in fact, there was still a word in his heart that he didn't say. That is, after Feng Wu came here, he also began to change.
According to her previous temper, even if she could fry tea, she wouldn't say it. She should continue to find a way to cultivate, and then grasp the power to achieve revenge.
But today, she began to take the initiative to integrate into the village, chatted happily with everyone, and even took the initiative to say that she could stir tea.
This in itself is not normal!
Zhang Cundao can think of this, it is because the pure aura in his brain has been faintly warning, always reminding that there is danger here. This danger is most likely to be mental corrosion. Because the Pure Aura is specifically designed to defend against this kind of thing.
Zhang Cundao thought about it in his heart, and he continued to say to Feng Wu: "So, I think it's better to use your ability to roast tea as a foothold, settle down first, and then make plans." ”
Feng Wu nodded honestly and said no more.
And just when Zhang Cundao and Feng Wu were talking about this, the village chief's house and the people in the village also gathered for a meeting.
The village chief sat in the crowd, accompanied by Carpenter Zhang and Bricklayer. And most people are not qualified to sit down, so they can only stand and obey.
Carpenter Zhang said: "Although the newcomers were not born from the lotus pond, they are not useless people either, and the girl is said to be able to stir tea. ”
When the village chief heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, she actually knows how to stir-fry tea!" That's good news, I'm drinking the leaves and water so bitter that my mouth is bitter! ”
The others laughed when they heard this, and then the bricklayer said, "If their family has this ability, then we will accept them, and they too can become permanent villagers." ”
When the other people standing heard this, they all had a look of envy on their faces.
The village chief smiled and said, "That's fine, otherwise there will be fewer and fewer people in the village, and this Taoyuan Township will become more and more deserted." Nowadays, there are too few outsiders. People who are always born from the lotus pond are of little use. ”
The seated man nodded, and then at this time the village chief said, "Okay, it's not too early, it's getting dark, you can go back." ”
Everyone answered and turned to leave. At this time, the village chief suddenly remembered something, and said to a sitting man: "Blacksmith Li, you still have to visit the door when you go back and tell them a little rule in the village." ”
The big man nodded silently before leaving the village chief's house.
After everyone was gone, the village chief stood up and slowly walked to the back hall.

In the evening, the sound of beating the watchman sounded.
"It's dry, watch out for the candles! Close the doors and windows, fire and theft! The road is slippery in the dark at night, so it is not suitable to walk around! ”
The sound of "Bang Bang Bang" sounded, and the sound spread farther and farther.
The watchman carried lanterns, played bangs, shouted trumpets, and walked slowly through the street. Taoyuan Township fell into darkness.
In the new home, Feng Wu was a little excited and couldn't sleep. She was the only one in the room, and she was somehow always a little flustered at this time.
At this moment, there was a sudden scratching sound from the window of her room.
The sound of "stabbing and stinging" sounded, like the sound of claws scratching on window paper.
Feng Wu was disturbed by this voice, she got up and put on a dress, picked up the oil lamp and was about to take a look. But at this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and then a knock on the door.
"Fengwu, have you slept?"
This is Zhang Cundao's voice! Feng Wu's face was slightly red, it was late at night, why did he knock on my door?
So she whispered, "I'm already asleep, what's the matter, Brother Zhang?" ”
Zhang Cundao at the door said: "Since you are asleep, then I won't bother you, you'd better not go out of the room at night, and don't care about him if you hear any noise, you know?" ”
Hearing Zhang Cundao's words, Feng Wu responded and said, "Got it." ”
"Well, it's good to know, get some rest." Zhang Cundao's voice fell, and he left here, and the footsteps became farther and farther away.
At this time, Feng Wu was thinking: "Brother Zhang is so good, he cares about people." ”
She was thinking beautifully when there was a knock on the door again.
Feng Wu was stunned for a moment, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Zhang, is it you?" What else? ”
Outside the door, he answered with an 'um', and then said vaguely: "It's something, I'll talk to you when you open the door......"
Hearing this, Feng Wu got out of bed and was about to open the door for Zhang Cundao. But when the person came to the door, she suddenly woke up!
"It doesn't work! Lonely men and widows, in the middle of the night, in the same room...... If this gets out...... she suddenly became shy, and people hesitated.
As the princess of the Feng family, her etiquette teaching is very strict. There is absolutely no rule for opening the door for a man in the middle of the night, even if her father comes in person, there is no such rule.
So she said softly: "Brother Zhang, it's not too early this day, if there is anything, it's better to talk about it tomorrow during the day." ”
When the voice outside heard this, he immediately said, "Good girl, I'm in a hurry, just open the door, count me begging you!" ”
His good sister almost made Feng Wu dizzy, when had she ever heard Zhang Cundao talk to her with such pleading words!
But at this moment, she heard another Zhang Cundao voice.
"Bastard! When have I ever spoken in such a sissy voice! Demons are looking for death! ”
Then, Feng Wu heard the sound of ping-pong. Zhang Cundao also said at this time: "Fengwu, don't open the door, don't open the door if anyone calls, if there is something to say during the day tomorrow!" ”
As his words fell, a light shone through the crack in Fengwu's door, and then she heard a curse, and then the sound stopped abruptly.
"It's okay, rest well, don't think too much!" Zhang Cundao's words came, and then they got farther and farther away......
