Volume 3 Traveling to the Northern Regions 115 Rebuilding Samui
The crystal blossomed like flowing water, and this was probably the first time Zu Zhe had such an experience in his life.
In addition to being distressed, there seems to be a little bit of refreshment......
With the 100,000 crystals brought by Johe, the pace of reconstruction of Samui City has been greatly accelerated.
During these three days, truckloads of stone and timber were continuously transported into the city. When the news of the subsidence of the war in Wuping spread, merchants from all over the country immediately smelled the business opportunities here, but the rumored tyrannical and murderous garrison soldiers did not make it difficult for them at all, and even did not hesitate to use mana to help them unload their goods, which surprised these merchants even more.
All the soldiers of the garrison were sent to the Samui shops, which were distributed like a chessboard, to help them rebuild their shops, and even the Guardian was no exception.
It's just a little embarrassing that the store that Wei Shu was assigned to was the one he and Meng Ren picked for acting that day.
"Alas, it's a benefactor, come in quickly!" the woman who was looking at the shop recognized Wei Shu at a glance and greeted warmly.
The middle-aged woman in front of her was only in her forties, but her hair was already a little gray, her face was even more weathered, and wrinkles had climbed into the corners of her eyes early, but her spirit was much better than a few days ago.
A catastrophe made her desperate, and she was on the verge of collapse when the shrine was robbed, but when Wei Shu appeared and let the shrine be lost and regained, she regained her confidence in life, a subtle feeling she probably didn't expect.
Life has to go on.
A scene in Weishu had an unexpected effect.
Wearing a robe and no helmet, the woman was very surprised, this guard colonel was afraid that he was about the same age as his deceased son, but he was already a junior officer of the garrison war department.
The passage of time is difficult to leave a mark on the faces of cultivators, but like this woman, ordinary people have a lot of dealings with these cultivators, and they have their own way of identifying age, and they can guess through their eyes, expressions, and even voices.
This is the helpless way of survival for ordinary people, and the cultivators are not as good as them in this matter.
The woman could see at a glance the difference between Wei Shu and other soldiers, and although Wei Shu concealed it intentionally or unintentionally, that childishness was still revealed from time to time.
Wei Shu was pulled into the shop, and the woman had to prepare refreshments, and Wei Shu couldn't stop him, so he had to sit on the only remaining intact pine chair.
The façade of this shop is two zhang wide, and it is considered medium in this Samui city, the place where the Wei Shu is located is the front hall, and there are burn marks on three walls, and some of the remaining wallpaper is still hanging on the wall without being removed, and you can vaguely see that the wallpaper is painted with various flower patterns.
There was now only one chair in the antechamber, a low table, and the corners of the walls were littered with fragments of broken furniture, which took up a radius of three feet, and it was not easy for the woman to clean it up alone.
Two delicately trimmed white flower pots are placed on the side of the door, quietly telling passers-by that this is a flower shop......
A cup of steaming flower tea was brought to him, Wei Shu hurriedly got up and took it, and habitually analyzed, honeysuckle, turnip leaves and sparse grass, very unique Qingxin flower tea, ordinary people will not use sparse grass to neutralize the coolness of turnip leaves, quite a bit of Danfang taste.
"This is the most proud recipe of the deceased husband's life," the woman saw that Weishu seemed to be very interested in this flower tea, so she explained: "He always wanted to cultivate the Tao in his life, but he didn't have any potential, and his mind never needed to be in business, so he liked to study Dan Fang, alas, ......"
"It's really a good recipe, ordinary people can't imagine it. The woman mentioned her deceased husband, although there was a sad color, but there was no despair, but Wei Shu was relieved a lot, before Wei Shu specially went to other houses to inquire, the woman also had a daughter, that is, married a little farther, the woman was ready to let her daughter and son-in-law come to Samui to take over the flower shop, but the distance was far away, and she could not arrive. In this way, there is finally hope, otherwise Wei Shu is really worried about how this poor woman will live in the future.
"When will Ling Ai come to Sumy?" Wei Shu said as he put the broken furniture in the corner of the wall into the Qiankun Ring and talked to the woman.
The purpose of Wei Shu's visit today is to help the woman redecorate the shop, and now that the wood has not yet arrived, it is just right to clean up the place first.
Looking at Wei Shu, who was quick with his hands and feet, the woman couldn't help but think of her son again, her eyes suddenly turned red, and when she heard Wei Shu ask about her daughter, she hurriedly turned her head and wiped away her tears, "They can be there in two days, and the messenger said that she heard that Su Mei was in trouble, so the girl urged her husband to rush over......."
At the mention of her daughter, the woman opened the conversation, and Wei Shu listened while working.
I heard this woman say that her daughter followed her temperament, and she was also a good hand at managing the family, and she called the son-in-law who had read the half-hung book on weekdays, and although she was married far away, she always thought about her mother's family in her heart.
As she spoke, the clutter in the hall had been cleaned up, and the burns on the wall had also been removed by Wei Shu with Taixuan light water, but there was no water stain left, which made the woman amazed.
Wei Shu dumped the miscellaneous goods outside the city, and when he hurried back, the merchant who delivered the timber also arrived.
A whole car of good pine, a piece of crystalline......
Wei Shu has not been in this world for a short time, and he also knows that Jingbi is worth a lot of money, but it is the first time to use Jingbi in this ordinary person's transaction.
That day, the guard secretly stuffed the woman with ten crystals, which was almost enough for their year's harvest.
The materials arrived, and Weishu's real work today began, creating counters and other items for this store......
With the help of Taixuan Qingshui, although Wei Shu has never been a carpenter, it is not difficult to follow the pattern drawn by the woman. After some training, Wei Shu was really like a skilled carpenter, or cutting, or shaving, or planing, for a while sawdust was splashed, and even the complex mortise and tenon structure that Wei Shu had seen in his previous life could be reproduced, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to create a solid counter.
As long as the woman could think of all kinds of decorations and patterns, Weishu could easily depict them, which was much easier than sketching patterns on that array.
It's a pity that Wei Shu doesn't have half an artistic cell, otherwise with this skill, it is estimated that it would be easy to become a rich man......
Today should be the last time Wei Shu came to help, Zu Zhe has decided that tomorrow the guards will pull out the camp and return to the camp, because of this, Wei Shu is also very attentive.
Unconsciously, a lot of neighbors gathered outside the store, they looked at Wei Shu's skillful frame, and couldn't help but sigh why Wei Shu didn't come to his store, and those guard sergeants who helped him were clumsy one by one, and a four-legged stool could be turned into one side......
Listening to everyone's discussions, Wei Shu couldn't help but snicker, those big-headed soldiers who built the foundation and cultivated, although they could also control the release of true qi, but where could they compare to their own "artifact" too Xuan light water?!
