Beloved Husband

Chapter 131

When the original owner was a child, he used to cook, but Yan Jing has his memory, so he can... cook things.

But don't think about things like color, fragrance, etc.

What he is best at is cooking rice and steaming various dishes while cooking rice.

Donggu County is a land of fish and rice. The land is fertile. Basically, every household grows rice. They plant two crops a year. Rice is usually the staple food of everyone. However, ordinary farmers can hardly eat dry rice cooked with rice. Put in other things and cook together. For example, when there are sweet potatoes and pumpkins, you can eat sweet potato rice, pumpkin rice, or broad beans every day when they are cooked. Then you can eat bean rice. You can also eat vegetable rice when there are only vegetables.

Every household generally has only one pot... or they just eat and not eat vegetables, otherwise, they often just steam a la carte on a steaming rack.

That night, Yan Jing steamed the lean meat he had salted the day before, and steamed some wild vegetables from the front and back of the house.

When the wild vegetables were steamed, they became rotten yellow. Wei Lingxiu didn't move his chopsticks, but ate two bowls of rice with bacon.

Yan Jing is so smart... He is in a good mood and his appetite is also good.

Yan Jing watched him eat like this, but was a little worried, afraid that he could not support Wei Lingxiu.

Pork is not cheap!Fortunately, Wei Lingxiu likes to eat lean meat, which only costs 15 or 6 yuan per catty.

"Ling Xiu, shall we go to the county town tomorrow and sell the book?" Yan Jing suggested that he was motivated to do it if he was sure that this could really make money.

Wei Lingxiu was taken aback.

When something like that happened, he was a little afraid to go to the county seat, because he was afraid that others would say about him, but if he didn't, let Yanjing go instead?

Yan Jing has just learned to read. He doesn't understand many things and has never dealt with people in the bookstore. Those people are used to despising people. Will they lie to Yan Jingze?

In fact, it is impossible for him not to go to the county for a lifetime.

"Okay, we will go to the county town tomorrow." Wei Lingxiu said.

It was dark after eating, Yan Jing urged Wei Lingxiu to go to bed, and he kept yawning.

"You go to bed early." Wei Ling said, then asked: "Your bed..."

He went to the room where Yanjing used to sleep during the day. There was also a door panel there, but it was too broken, and it didn't seem to be able to sleep.

But does he want Yan Jingze to sleep with him?

Not to mention that the door is so narrow that the two of them can't lie down at all. Yan Jing probably doesn't want to sleep with him... Before, Yan Jing even said that he would marry a wife.

"I'm going to clean up immediately." Yan Jing went to clean up immediately.

The door panels over there are more broken, but you can still sleep if you put something on it!

Wei Lingxiu also gave him a quilt!

Yan Jing first laid a few wooden boards on the broken door, then put his old clothes and quilts on, and then put on the bed curtains pulled from Wei Lingxiu, this bed is comfortable enough!

Yan Jing didn't sleep last night, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down today, but the next morning, it was still dark and woke up again.

He first boiled a pot of old rice for himself, ate half of it, and put the remaining half in a jar and put it in his house. He cooked a pot of white rice and waited for Wei Lingxiu to eat it.

Yesterday at noon and night, because Wei Lingxiu was there, he only cooked white rice and ate with Wei Lingxiu.

But he actually cooked less at the time, and then ate as much as Wei Lingxiu, and ate a three-point full.

The appetite of the original owner is too great!

Today, he simply cooked some old rice in advance to be full, and he could eat the rest when he was hungry.

Although copying books can make money, he is not the original owner. He does not have the idea of ​​"eating out and using up good health". He has already begun to think about things decades later!

He and Wei Lingxiu are both men, and there will be no children in the future, so you must save money!

They need a few better houses, dozens of acres of land, and enough savings, so that they can spend their old age in peace.

No, this is not enough.

Wei Lingxiu loves to eat meat, and he eats too much himself...

Yan Jing didn't dare to spend money at all.

Thinking about this, he still sat down at Wei Lingxiu's desk and continued to copy books.

He had copied the "San Zi Jing" yesterday, and it can be copied faster now, plus the book is very thin...

Before going out, he actually copied another copy.

Wei Lingxiu, who got up late, didn't know what to say anymore.

Seeing Yan Jing, a big man holding a pen and writing correct lower letters quickly, he always felt a little discordant.

"Brother Yan, you write so fast!" Wei Lingxiu couldn't help feeling.

"After knowing what strength to use to write, it becomes easier to write." Yan Jing said. He didn't hold a pen at the beginning. He didn't know what strength to use to write ugly. After getting used to it, he felt that writing was too ugly. It's easy.

With his physical strength, he won't be tired from writing for a day!

Wei Lingxiu: "..." If others hear Yan Jing and say so, they will definitely want to beat him!

No, don't talk about others, he wants to talk about Jingze.

Yan Jing took Wei Lingxiu and walked to the county town to recognize the way.

Wei Lingxiu's physical strength is not very good, but he won't be tired if he walks without taking things. After walking with Yanjing for half an hour, they came to the county seat.

Donggu County does not have a city wall, but it is surrounded by a river with several high stone bridges.

Yan Jing took Wei Ling to repair the bridge, and many people looked over.

Wei Lingxiu remembered that at the beginning he and Yan Jingze were arrested and raped by a large group of people, and his family did not intend to cover up for him at all, but obviously wanted to make trouble...

They couldn't see him well, and now they are afraid that the entire county town knows about him and Yan Jingze.

I don't know what others will think of him.

Wei Lingxiu was a little worried, because he was afraid of seeing the disgusting eyes of others. At first, he dared not raise his head, but later he raised his head...

There are no people around him and Yan Jing. Maybe others are scared by Yan Jing's size, but why... they look at him occasionally and look sympathetic?

Wei Lingxiu was a little confused.

However, the most important thing now is to sell books.

Wei Lingxiu took Yan Jing into the bookstore.

When ordinary people outside saw Yan Jingze, they were a little scared, but when so few scholars in the bookstore saw Yan Jingze, they looked disgusted and said humanely: "What a shame!"

However, as soon as this person exited, he was dragged away by people around him.

Most of them who want to buy books in bookstores are just beginning to read, and most of them have not even passed the exam.

Although scholars have a high status, they are also flesh and blood, and they are afraid that people like Yanda will trouble them.

So... it's better not to offend people!

Yan Jingze: "..." He felt that his figure was really very tall.

Take a look, everyone is afraid of him!

Wei Lingxiu felt a little uncomfortable because others despised Yan Jingze, but when he saw the bookstore owner, he cleared up his mood: "Boss, I want to sell books."

The bookstore owner is an old man with a long beard. He glanced at Wei Lingxiu and said, "There are many people who sell fields and land to buy books, and there are not many who sell books... What books are you going to sell?"

Wei Lingxiu was a little embarrassed: "I don't want to sell books, I copied some books and want to sell them."

After that, Wei Lingxiu took out the Buddhist scriptures he copied in Wei's house and the three newly copied "San Zi Jing".

These are not actually books, they are not bound.

"You copied it?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Yeah." Wei Ling Xiu said.

"Master Wei's writing is good, why didn't he go to the test of fame?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised. He basically knew all the literati in Donggu County, and there were a lot of talented characters that hadn't been repaired by Wei Ling.

But he has always heard that the young master of the Wei family is stubborn and doesn't like to read...

In fact, like a child student, as long as he is familiar with the book to be tested, someone explains it, and then has a good word, he will basically be able to pass the test. It is almost okay to write articles or poetry.

Wei Ling Xiusheng was in Wei's house, so he could pass the exam.

Wei Lingxiu did not answer.

In fact, children, who would like to read from the beginning?It's just that the family members of his two younger brothers were forced to read. When he arrived... they all said that he didn't like to read, and he believed it too much.

Wei Lingxiu didn't want to say more: "The shopkeeper, these books..."

"I'll take a look first." The shopkeeper looked carefully.

He looked at it for a while before he finished reading all the papers: "The words are all right. I sell the "San Zi Jing" here for 300 texts, and one copy for you two hundred and fifty texts. As for these Buddhist scriptures, 400 texts apiece. this."

Those Buddhist scriptures are thicker than the "San Zi Jing".

Although such books are not sold much, there are always wives or old ladies of wealthy people who will come and buy them. After buying them, they will either read them by themselves, or use them for offerings in front of the Buddha, or even burn them. Both.

Before Wei Lingxiu copied six Buddhist scriptures, he immediately sold two guanxi with four hundred texts, plus the money for the "Sanzi Jing", and the total amount was three guanxi, which is about three taels of silver.

Although the Wei family gave Yanjing a few hundred taels of silver in order to frame Wei Lingxiu, but for ordinary people, three taels of silver were quite a lot.

Yan Jing was suddenly a little excited.

But when he asked about the price of pen, ink and paper...

The books here are expensive, in large part because the paper is expensive!

The paper needed to copy a three-character sutra...even if one word is good, it takes seven or eighty essays!

No wonder only rich people study!

But after reading and recognizing characters, I made a lot of money. Copying one copy of the "San Zi Jing" can make about 150 essays. Ten books are half a consistent one, one hundred books are fifteen quinces, and a thousand copies are one hundred and fifty quintessence... …

He copied him ten and twenty copies a day!

Yan Jing has already set his ambitions.

The bookstore owner looked at the "San Zi Jing" that seemed to have just copied, but he said to Wei Ling: "Sao Wei, don't be tired..."

Wei Lingxiu had just left Wei's house one day, and copied three books. This...

"I'm not tired." Wei Ling Xiu said, two of which were copied only when they were spoken.

The bookstore owner didn't believe it anyway.

Yan Jing and Wei Lingxiu made money, bought some more things, and then returned home.

They ate at noon in the town, and Yan Jing ate as much as Wei Lingxiu, who was not full at all. After he got home, he went to the house and ate the remaining half pot of rice, and then started copying books.

"Brother Yan, can I teach you something else?" Wei Lingxiu suggested.

Yan Jing refused without hesitation: "Wait, I'll copy a few more books first!"

Wei Lingxiu: "...Brother Yan, how many copies do you want to copy first? I'll copy it with you."

"First copy a thousand copies so that we can build a house before the winter!"

"..." Wei Lingxiu was speechless: "Brother Yan, the bookstore may not be able to sell 1,000 copies of the "San Zi Jing" in a year..."

Yan Jing stopped writing and looked at Wei Lingxiu: "I think I can learn another book... I'll copy it instead!"

If a book is copied too much and cannot be sold, it may depreciate, so he should copy a few books!

No matter what, he must make money for himself and Wei Lingxiu's pension!

Wei Lingxiu: "..." Yan Jing has such a talent, so he only wants to copy books?
