The newborn sun pierced the darkness, and the glow of the sun shone through the cracked roof into the ruined temple, restoring some life to the gloomy ruined temple.

The wanderers gathered in the ruined temple had already gone out early to line up to receive gruel steamed buns, leaving only a piece of tatters, and the skinny bantam horse was still lying in place, regurgitating the hay in his stomach with his head held high, and the dirty hair under his neck kept shaking, looking lazy and unhurried.

Zhao Yuan woke up early, and he didn't want too many people to see him, so he didn't rush to Wanjia to line up.

When it was noon, Zhao Yuan rushed to Wanjia unhurriedly.

The Ma family is in Hexi, and the Wan family and the Xiao family are in Hedong. However, the vast majority of the shops operated by the three are in Hedong.

Wanjia is located at the end of the East Street of Hedong Street, and the end of the East Street is the official road. It may be a poor and remote area, the land is not valuable, the area of Wanjia is extremely wide, the length of the street wall alone is more than 300 meters, in addition to the magnificent vermilion gate in the middle, in the vicinity of the prosperous area, there is a row of more than a dozen brick and stone shops, do some grocery wholesale business, and there are constantly some hawkers carrying goods in and out. At the end of the East Street, a small door was also opened, which was supposed to allow the bantam horses carrying goods and the subordinates to enter and exit, and during Zhao Yuan's observation, except for a few horsemen leading the bantam horses in and out, there were no more idle people.

Because the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, the internal structure of the Wanjia cannot be seen from the outside, however, Zhao was originally born in a wealthy family, and it can be judged from the direction of the wall alone, and the Wanjia covers an area of at least more than 100 acres.

The porridge outside the vermilion gate of Wanjia seems to have just begun, there is a huge iron pot at the door, the iron pot is burning under the raging flames, steaming, next to the iron pot, is a five-story high steamer, the steamer is open, the white flower steamed buns are piled up, exuding an attractive wheat fragrance.

Inside the vermilion gate, there were small servants carrying buckets of gruel and steamed buns poured into the iron pot and added to the steamer.

Behind the steamer, a group of servants were busy around a simplely dressed woman.

In front of the iron pot and steamer, in addition to the winding hundred-meter procession, there were thousands of people around who were gobbling up porridge steamed buns.

Judging from the clothing, it is not only the wanderers who come to receive the gruel and steamed buns, but also many local poor residents, most of whom are dragging their families and carrying large and small pots with their families.

As some wanderers said, Wanjia is extremely kind, as long as someone queues up with an empty basin, they are all the standard of filling the basin with gruel and two steamed buns per person. When encountering some disabled and obviously weak people, the kind woman will signal to give a few more steamed buns, and turn a blind eye to those who queue up repeatedly.

Zhao Yuan did not join the team, but squatted from a distance, observing the servants who were clustered around the woman.

There were more than a dozen servant servants who helped around the woman, and Zhao Yuan had to find a target from these servants.

Those working servants are not in Zhao Yuan's consideration, he knows very well that the small servants are doing some rough work, while the servants are waiting for the master, and the status difference between the two is huge, and they are not at the same level at all.

Most of the servants can't talk to the master, while the maid has been in contact with the master for a long time and generally cultivates a certain relationship.

After the last, Zhao Yuan chose a servant with some fierce eyebrows, this servant's temper is the greatest, when distributing steamed buns, although he tried his best to pretend to be a good person, but his inadvertent disgust, the range of action was very large, and he was obviously very impatient.

Dafan, people with good hearts are timid.

Zhao Yuan chose this servant for his deep intentions, first of all, most of this kind of people are greedy and easy to be bought; secondly, when such people recommend jobs for him, they will give him some face, so as not to offend him; and most importantly, this kind of person is narrow-minded, and will regard Zhao Yuan as his own person, and will not let others bully him.

Zhao Yuan is not only looking for a temporary shelter to spend the harsh winter now, but most importantly, he has to avoid the tracking of Hua Yun Sect.

What is certain is that in recent months, Hua Yun Sect has been frantically tracking his traces, and naturally it is not appropriate to mess with his identity.

Through quiet inquiry, the fierce man is called Xu San, the authentic descendant of the Xu family.

Xu San lives in Xujia Lane, with an old mother and wife, and a pair of twin sons who are only three years old. Xu San has a lot of income in Wanjia, but because he supports his family alone, the economy is still a little stretched, and he can only barely support it, and the pressure is very great.

Xu Sanchang lives in Wanjia, and he goes home for less than a week every month, and every time he goes home, he will drink heavily and beat his wife, and his reputation among the neighbors is very poor.

However, although Xu San's alcoholic wife has a very poor reputation, he has a strong sense of family responsibility, every time he goes home, he will bring a lot of food and clothing from thousands of homes, and most of the income will be handed over to his wife, which makes the neighbors occasionally praise him, and even many women regard Xu San as a model for men - of course, except for alcoholism and wife.

Zhao Yuan commented: This is a man with a lot of financial pressure.

Zhao Yuan is no stranger to the management system of the maid, in Zhao Yuan's family, there will be special personnel to collect the information of the servant, including the composition of the family members, economic situation and feelings, etc., these information will be fed back to the family management, and timely deal with it, to avoid some hidden dangers affecting the safety of the family members.

Judging from the fact that Xu San often brought some food and clothes home, it is obvious that Wan Jia also knows about the situation of Xu San's family and is trying his best to avoid the collapse of Xu San's family, which will affect Xu San's work in Wan Jia.

A local wealthy family like Wan Jia, as long as the servant does not make a mistake of principle, generally will not fire his job, after all, a stable servant is more conducive to the stability of the family's position.

Xu San has been working in Wanjia for more than ten years, and some emotional foundation has been established between master and servant. In addition, Xu San has an old mother and wife, and two young sons, this kind of servant is relatively stable, and it is difficult to cause big troubles, although there are some minor problems, it can be regarded as flaws.

For some big families, the most fearful thing is the servant who eats inside and out, and the destructive power caused by an unloyal servant is far greater than the enemy's frontal blow.

From the bits and pieces of information, Xu San's loyalty to the Wan family is still very high, and his status is not very low, so he should be able to speak.

According to the information, there will be a series of family activities after the first day of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it will be busy for several days, and this busyness will be maintained until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

On the same day, Zhao Yuan left Xujiaqiao, and he had to prepare a generous gift for Xu San.

Now Zhao Yuan has no long body, and his only way is to hunt.

Fortunately, today is only the first day of junior high school, and there is still enough time to reach the fifth day of junior high school.

More than 50 miles east of Xujiaqiao, there is a mountain range, which is called the Qinling Mountains, the Qinling Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are many birds and beasts in the mountains. Among them, there is a rare herbivore living on the peak of Xiaoyang Mountain, which is called elk, because its head and face are like horses, horns are like deer, neck is like camels, and tails are like donkeys, so it is also called four dislikes.

The meat of the elk is fresh and tender, and the antlers have high medicinal value, which can lead to blood, reduce swelling and benefit the kidneys. Treatment of sores and ulcers, bruising and pain, internal injuries due to fatigue, lumbar and spine pain, etc.

Because of the scarcity of elk, almost extinction, and its high vigilance, which comes and goes like the wind, it is difficult to catch, so an elk is worth a lot. Even if it was purchased from Orion, it was more than two thousand imperial coins. In particular, the antlers are worth tens of thousands of gold when transported to a prosperous big city.

After inquiring about some news about the elk, Zhao Yuan went straight to Xiaoyang Mountain.

Now that the mountain has been closed by heavy snow, some Zhao Yuan is not worried that it will be exposed, in order to save time, he ran all the way, and arrived at the foot of Xiaoyang Mountain in the afternoon of the first day of the new year.
