Chapter Twenty-Six: Making a Living

"Goo!"

After lying back on the bed for a long time, the mouthful of saliva swallowed with difficulty, and it resounded unusually in the quiet room. Now Ye Junsheng's mood is very complicated, so complicated that he can't make sense of a charter at all. At the moment when he heard Lao Niu speak, he flashed a scene in "Journey to the West" for the first time: the second master heard the cow raised in the bullpen speak, and was shocked by the reality of "demon dancing", and was so frightened that he almost ran away in the wilderness very unrighteously-

The current Ye Junsheng is not very afraid, after all, he has been mentally prepared for the origin of Lao Niu. But when this moment really happened under your nose, you can't help but be surprised.

After the surprise, there was a joy that could not be hidden: So, we are now a "cowherd" with the help of the sacred cow?

Phew, brother doesn't be a cowherd.

Outside the window, the wind and rain are drifting, and the night is deep.

――Since winter is coming, will spring be far away?

The cold wave came faster than expected, and when I woke up the next day, I felt a chill and had to put on winter clothes.

The Ye family is poor and lacks winter clothes, so Ye Junsheng's brothers and sisters wrapped several pieces of clothing around their bodies and wrapped them like a not very beautiful zongzi to keep warm.

Early in the morning, Ye Junmei went out again.

Ye Junsheng stood under the corridor and looked at the Great Sage.

Overnight, the Great Sage seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes, although the bones of his body did not become strong, but the fur on his body revealed a new meaning, as if it had been changed, and it was no longer as sickly and dry as before, but became shiny and shiny.

This cow has become younger......

Ye Junsheng suddenly thought of the fact that it devoured the ghost fire last night.

If it is a demon, it is impossible to eat grass and leaves like ordinary cows. These things are okay, but that's all.

It's just that since it has followed its former master, Ayon for so many years, why didn't it manifest a spirit or two to improve its situation? Could it be that Ayon didn't notice it? Or was the great sage afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would scare his former master to death?

You must know that the cow raised by your own family can suddenly speak, and the idler can't accept it at all, even if you are not scared to death, it is estimated that you will report to the official to deal with it.

This cow must have an unusual story, but I don't know if it is acquainted with the mysterious fox fairy.

Thoughts swirled, and Ye Junsheng's eyes burned.

The Great Sage suddenly raised his head, and the two big bull's eyes glanced at him, and then he didn't say anything, and lay lazily on his stomach, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Ye Junsheng wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't speak. There are some things that should be left to the right time to have the best effect.

"Brother, brother, come quickly!"

At noon, Ye Junmei trotted back to the yard and shouted loudly.

Ye Junsheng thought something was wrong, and hurried out, but saw his sister's little face flushed, and he looked excited.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother, I helped you connect with some livelihoods. ”

"Huh, what do you do for a living?"

"Write couplets!"

Ye Junmei's voice was crisp, with a taste of excitement, and he told what happened in one breath: It turns out that the New Year is approaching, and every household has to change the couplet, which is a very important custom. In this world, there is no machine to print couplets, and all couplets need to be written by hand, and in order to get new couplets, ordinary people can only buy them, or go to the reader's door with gifts and ask them to write them.

In the Tianhua Dynasty, there were not many people who could read books, and it was a scarce resource.

Therefore, every year before the end of the year, many poor scholars open stalls in the market, write couplets, and earn some money by this.

That's what makes a living.

Ye Junsheng is not a stupid person, he immediately figured out the trick, and slapped his thigh: I almost forgot this stubble!

Ye Junmei said: "I asked, no one in the surrounding two or three villages can read and write, and they have to go elsewhere to ask for new couplets every year." Since my brother is here, I can help them write and exchange for some of the supplies they need. ”

The couplets written by ordinary scholars naturally cannot be sold at a high price, and it is delusional to want to get rich by relying on this. But in exchange for some daily consumables such as firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is still possible.

That's enough.

Now the Ye family is in short supply of living resources.

"Okay, this is a living, done. ”

After determining the goal, Ye Junsheng rushed back to the county seat and spent 20 yuan to buy a knife of red paper specially used to write couplets.

This paper is not very good, it is the worst, very rough.

There is no way, I don't have enough money to buy good paper. Besides, if you buy good paper to write couplets, if you can't sell them, you will lose money, so there is no need for that.

For the quality of paper, the villagers don't care.

With paper, pen and ink, the belongings are complete, and the business can be opened.

Ye Junmei was articulate, became a "salesman", holding a sample of a couplet written by his brother, and went to sell and solicit from house to house.

It took almost no more than a few words to speak, and many people agreed. After all, the demand is there, unless there is really no way to uncover the poor people, otherwise they will post new couplets to curry favor. And Ye Junsheng's handwriting is already very good, and the price is fair and abnormal, so what are the villagers not satisfied with?

In just a few days, Ye Junsheng changed out forty-three couplets. At the same time, he got twenty-five catties of rice, two catties of meat and six taels, one pound of cotton and three taels of nine coins, plus an old hen, and a number of copper coins......

During this period, there were rumors that the Huang family's house was originally haunted, but after the Ye brothers and sisters moved in, there was no movement, this is not simple, posting the couplet written by Ye Junsheng can also ward off evil spirits.

At this time, the entire Guangping Township has spread all over the place, and many families have come to the door. Faintly, Ye Junsheng actually has a little fame, and his business is even more popular.

Ye Junsheng smiled, and when he wrote the couplet, he walked smoothly and without hindrance. These Spring Festival couplets are nothing more than some auspicious words of "increasing the years and increasing the longevity of people", almost without brains, just write good words.

"Brother, you deliberately said the rumor, right?"

Tonight's meal was more hearty than ever, with meat, vegetables, and a fish. Ye Jun asked as he ate his eyebrows, with a sly faint smile on his lips.

Ye Junsheng smiled: "Our family makes a living, although it is a small business, but we still need to advertise." ”

He was very satisfied with the matter. Haunting, whether true or not, has long been ingrained in the minds of the villagers. However, after they moved into the Huang family's house, there was no strange happening. After a little rendering, you can conclude that the ghosts are afraid of them, so they dare not make trouble anymore. If you tease it again, and put it in terms of words, you can provoke Ye Junsheng's remarks that words written by Ye Junsheng can ward off evil spirits-

This kind of exaggerated propaganda is not uncommon in modern society. Ye Junsheng came at his fingertips and achieved surprising results.

Advertise?

Ye Junmei didn't quite understand the meaning of this word, but it must be a good thing, and thought with a smile: Since my brother opened his mind, he has been reborn, and there are always some whimsical ideas.

If this momentum continues, this year will be very nourishing.

Good, that's great!
