Chapter 64: The First Pot of Gold (3)
Brother Hao pointed out: "This big brother, the top and bottom of this bundle of straw paper, each has a side, the top is the method of accumulating fertilizer, and the bottom is the use of punctuation, you ask a literate person to read it to you, and you will understand." These two recipes are given free of charge, and they are the good deeds done by Mr. Baizhu of the county government Huang Xueheng Huang Pen Sticker No. Baizhu. ”
At this time, a few villagers who were going to the toilet took out a penny and handed it over: "Such a big bundle of straw paper is worth only a penny, not to mention that there are two squares on it, come, come, bring me a bundle." ”
Brother Hao hurriedly took the money and handed the paper, and after a while, there were many people gathered around the toilet, and bundles of straw paper were sold.
The literate gentleman saw that at the bottom of the straw paper printed with the square, there was a number, but it was "Mr. Baizhu" four big characters, he shook his head and said: "Huang Xueheng in the county government pen sticker, self-named Mr. Baizhu, I want to come to this punctuation method is his own creation, interesting, interesting, come, this little brother, give me a few bundles of straw paper, I will bring a few friends to see." ”
The villagers in the bazaar were very lively, and when they heard that the two recipes on the straw paper were written by the "big officials" in the yamen, they immediately rushed to buy the straw paper one after another, and even the newly made cardboard boxes were sold a lot.
Guo Dalu sat in the steamed bun shop where he came to the market last time, borrowed the boss's stool to sit, drank high foam, looked at the stupid big man holding a handful of copper coins and smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth, and read in his heart: "Yellow pen paste - Mr. Baizhu, next, it's time for you to play, otherwise, my next big drama will not be easy to stage." ”
Huang Xueheng's pen paste style home is behind the county yamen, the house is not big, two before and after, Huang Xueheng's ancestors have been officials for three generations, and they have already accumulated countless net worth, and the relationship is intertwined, and he bought hundreds of acres of land in his hometown and started a mansion, but Huang Xueheng still lives in the hut behind the yamen, and his home is located here because it is close to the yamen, which is convenient for internal and external communication.
Huang Xueheng is circling in the house, full of sadness, a few months ago, he inquired about the county history of the post will be vacant, and has been trying to this position, you know, the pen paste style is only the most subtle small official, even if his family has been operating in Yin County for several generations, but the official is an official, and when he meets an official, his knees are soft.
The Huang family has been trying to get a serious official position, but from an official to an official, it is the aunt's wife to straighten out, how difficult it is, this time I finally heard about the opportunity, and I also spent a lot of white money up and down, but there was no accurate word on the top, just the rumors, and several officials also wanted to get this position. It's just that Huang Xueheng is now like a person halfway up the mountain, if he is relieved in one breath, then the effort and splashing silver in front of him will be empty.
Huang Xueheng sat on the recliner and sighed, in the final analysis, his backer is not strong enough, and he faintly pointed out that his reputation in the state and county is not loud enough, it is not enough to have silver to pave the way, he must have a corresponding reputation, but the reputation is so good?
To be honest, in order to seek fame, he was also obsessed, not long ago a country boy, said that he wanted to make a name for himself through what method of accumulation of fat, and he actually believed it, and even did not hesitate to hide his identity as a fugitive slave, so that he was on the yellow book, now think about it, this is not a rush to the doctor.
By the way, what did the little boy named Guo Dalu say, he was talking nonsense, saying that he wanted to write a thousand sheets - no, 10,000 pieces of fertilizer accumulation method to make a name for himself, hum, 10,000 pieces of fertilizer accumulation method, even if it was copied day and night, I don't know how long it will take -
There was a knock at the door, and the old servant hurried in: "Master, master, the old slave just went to the market to buy vegetables, and saw that everyone was rushing to buy straw paper, and there is your font on this straw paper!"
Huang Xueheng was stunned and straightened up: "What is straw paper?
He took the bundle of straw paper handed by the old servant, and at a glance saw the recipe printed on the top of the manure method, and his own number, "Mr. Baizhu", was suddenly printed on the bottom.
Huang Xueheng gasped and looked at the manure method: "This kid surnamed Guo really gave me the manure method to make a name for me!"
He grabbed the old servant: "In this bazaar, there are not many methods of accumulating fertilizer, Guo family boy, but he promised to copy 10,000 copies for me to become famous!"
The old servant said: "The old slave saw that in the bazaar, everyone fought to buy this straw paper, fifty pieces of straw paper for a penny, and this method of accumulation of fertilizer and punctuation marks was given away. ”
Huang Xueheng laughed and said: "A penny and a bundle of straw paper are not expensive, not to mention that two recipes were also given, there must be many people who want to buy them, and my Mr. Baizhu's font size, with these two recipes will spread farther and farther - hey, wait, two recipes, what two recipes?"
The old servant pointed to the bottom of the bundle of straw paper: "Master, there is a recipe under the straw paper, I heard people say, what is this punctuation method." ”
Huang Xueheng hurriedly flipped over the straw paper and pulled out the bottom one, and sure enough, the words "Mr. Baizhu" were also printed at the bottom of the square, he looked at it carefully, and was dumbfounded: "This, who is this Guo Dalu, and where did he learn this punctuation method? !
Huang Xueheng dragged his shoes upside down, and said in a loud voice: "Quick, lead my donkey! I'm looking for Guo Dalu, this kid must be in the market, hurry!"
Huang Xueheng rode a donkey out in a hurry, and met several colleagues in the yamen along the way, and some colleagues bowed their hands to Huang Xueheng and said: "Huang Bi sticker, your fertilizer accumulation method is really a good recipe to help farmers, and the merit is immeasurable, and the merit is immeasurable." ”
Huang Xueheng was overjoyed, but his face was indifferent, and he returned the salute on the back of the donkey: "Huang occasionally read ancient books, saw these recipes, and thought of the hard work of the farmers, so he thought of a way to publicize it, and he couldn't afford to say merit." ”
Huang Xueheng was about to leave the city, when suddenly a scholar blocked the way, threw a piece of straw paper over, and reprimanded: "You are Mr. Huang Xueheng of Mr. Baizhu? Hmph, just a pen sticker, and I also feel that the sage's subtle words are right? Your punctuation method is simply deviant!"
Huang Xueheng grabbed the donkey, but he recognized the scholar who blocked the road and scolded, it was a distant nephew of the opponent who also tried to serve as a warden, it seems that the pair of leaders wanted to use punctuation to discredit themselves, so they blocked the street and scolded, wanting to buckle themselves with a big hat that disrespected the saint. ------------------------------------------------------------ thanks to the Holy Angel, Sun Yifeng, and Wei Wei for their rewards.
