Jiang Mansion's birthday banquet lasts for three days, so the best trading time is during these days.

In fact, not only the large group of guests who were invited, but also the entire village of Jiangcun were eating in Jiangfu, plus the servants of Jiangfu, there were at least 200 mouths.

Now the prey sent by Lin Haoran is simply timely, so it can be sold at a high price. Lin Haoran also took a fancy to this, so he turned into a second dealer, and he has told Hu Da the truth, hoping that he can seize these opportunities

Hunt more prey.

On the last day of the birthday banquet, Hu Da lived up to his expectations and waited early by the bluestone.

When he saw Lin Haoran coming, he showed his big yellow teeth. When he took the bag of salt, he followed Lin Haoran and said wait a moment, then went back to the forest and brought out a fat deer.

After these three exchanges of interests, Hu Da has obviously increased his trust in Lin Haoran. Not only did Lin Haoran not fool him, but the price he gave him was quite fair, and he was definitely the best partner.

"This deer of yours can give you about three kilograms of salt, or if you need anything else, I can change it into something else and bring it back to you!" Lin Haoran looked at the fat deer on the ground, then raised his head and quoted.

Hu Da showed a satisfied smile and said to him: "If it is convenient, please help me buy half a piece of flower cloth and a kitchen knife, and replace the rest with salt!"

"No problem!" Lin Haoran agreed, and then called A Niu, and the deal was concluded.

A Niu naturally knew the origin of this prey, but still didn't ask any more questions.

"You are so awesome! Today I hunted another mountain deer. I remember that your village does not have a dedicated hunter!" Butler Zhao asked directly, curious about the origin of his prey.

Lin Haoran cupped his hands toward the house and said loudly with a smile: "This is not a great blessing from Mrs. Tuojiang. We rookies have hunted good things one after another!"

Butler Zhao laughed twice, naturally he didn't believe this statement, but he didn't dare to deny it.

"Four taels? Butler Zhao, are you kidding me? Although this deer is not really mature yet, it is a top-quality delicacy! Yo yo, the deer roars, eating the wild leaves, what a wonderful connotation, don't you hope that your house

Can the gentlemen above participate in the Deer Ming Banquet in the future?"

Regarding the price, the two sides once again had serious differences. This time, it was not entirely the fault of Butler Zhao's evil intentions, but the price offered by Lin Haoran was indeed much higher than the market price.

Butler Zhao looked at him with complicated eyes. These words hit the nail on the head. What rich people eat is not the ingredients, but the good connotations represented by the ingredients. However, he still couldn’t help but criticize: "You are a deer.

Not yet mature, and we don’t have the velvet antler we want, this is already the real price!”

"Today is the old lady's birthday, and what she eats is not velvet antlers! If you miss such a delicacy, your master will regret it. I'm afraid you will have to invite me back if I move out?" Lin Haoran was confident.

, I have determined that this deer will add color to the birthday banquet, so I definitely have to buy it here.

"Eight taels!... It's too high, please wait a moment!" Butler Zhao finally did not dare to make up his mind and turned to walk inside.

After a while, he brought back a middle-aged man who looked like a master. This was his cleverness in doing things without leaving any ground for others to attack, so he was able to firmly occupy the position of Jiang Mansion's steward.

This man was wearing bright silk and satin. He was over forty years old, with a white face and slightly dark lips. He had the air of a gentleman. He just glanced at the fat deer on the ground, glanced at Lin Haoran, and then looked at Zhao

The butler said: "Give it to him!"

"Thank you sir!"

Lin Haoran slightly raised his hand, and finally made up his mind. His actual psychological value was six taels, but because of this small persistence, he was able to get an extra two taels. How could he not be happy?

There was no smile on this middle-aged man's face, but he didn't know whether it was due to his personality or his consistent behavior in front of the servants. He was about to return to the living room steadily, but he suddenly stopped and asked Lin Haoran: "Are you?

That book...Lin Haoran?"

But he didn't know if the words behind him were "idiots", so he took the words back and then said Lin Haoran's name.

"Exactly, what do you call me? Have we met before?" Lin Haoran handed over his hand, wondering that this man actually knew him.

"This is the third master of our house!" Butler Zhao introduced somewhat arrogantly.

"Sure enough, you are still stupid!" The third master seemed to be talking to himself, and took steps to leave, but left a sentence: "I'm afraid you have collected enough travel expenses this time, you'd better go to the exam earlier, he is

I’m waiting to have a trial with you in the hospital!”

Only then did Butler Zhao look at Lin Haoran seriously, with a look of sudden realization on his face.

Huh?

Lin Haoran immediately understood that his predecessor might have actually interacted with people from the Jiang Mansion. He might have met this third master, and there seemed to be a dispute between him and this person named "Yuebai".

It's just that he tried hard to search in his mind, and not only did he not have any memory about the Jiang family people, he didn't have any memory about the third master, and he also had no impression of the person named "Jiang Bai".

Forget it, after all these days of inquiring and observing, it turns out that this Jiang Mansion is indeed not a philanthropic family, so it would be better not to have anything to do with these people.

"Strange thing! This is actually the nerd from Changlin Village. Why didn't I notice it before?" Butler Zhao muttered as he watched Lin Haoran leave.

The bright spring light is blowing in this ancient village, as if it is filled with an intoxicating fragrance.

After selling the mountain deer, he earned five taels of silver, which made him feel very loyal.

No matter what era it is in, money can always bring warmth to people and can solve many things. For example, it can buy new clothes for Hu Niu, improve the housing conditions of the family, or do some small business to make money.

After Lin Haoran came out of Jiang Mansion, on a whim, after separating from A Niu, he did not return directly to Changlin Village, but headed to the west of Jiang Village.

He heard that there was an academy to the west of Jiangcun, and taking advantage of the pleasant weather, he decided to go and have a look.

Ordinarily, such a remote mountain village would never have such a thing as an academy. But Jiangcun is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary villages. The Jiang government not only spent money to build an academy, but also hired famous teachers to teach it.

Over the years, some children from Jiangcun have successfully embarked on official careers. Qingshan Academy has become famous throughout Huazhou Prefecture, attracting many children from wealthy families to come to study. As a result, this academy now shows great vitality.

Lin Haoran was studying at Qingshan Academy, but this did not seem to be something that the person involved was proud of. In order to be able to study and for that fame, his family sold off their land one after another, and then fell into the dilemma of running out of food.

Qingshan Academy is located halfway up the mountain. It is mainly made of brick and wood structures, and the continuous buildings are amazing. At this time, there was a class, and the sound of children reciting "The Analects of Confucius" was faintly heard.

Lin Haoran came to the gate of the academy, raised his head and glanced at the four vigorous characters "Qingshan Academy", and immediately felt that the person who inscribed the inscription was definitely extraordinary, but he didn't know who the person who inscribed the inscription was "Qingshan Jushi".

It actually revealed a bit of familiarity and kindness.

At this time, a few people in gorgeous clothes happened to go in to visit. No one stopped a man in a short shirt standing guard in front of the courtyard gate. He took the opportunity to follow the people in front and sneak in.

This is actually the same as a modern educational institution. It is essentially a place for classes, eating and sleeping. It just has a few more lofts with period characteristics and a more humanistic atmosphere.

Deeply influenced by the idea of ​​"the inheritance of rituals and music", the architectural layout of the academy is very rigorous. With the lecture hall as the center, it is symmetrical on the central axis. The gate, lecture hall, sacrificial hall and library are connected in a line, with studios on both sides.

Just seeing this, Lin Haoran understood that it would take even a hundred years for Changlin Village to catch up with Jiangcun. Jiangcun was not only rich, but also paid so much attention to education. From now on, it would definitely be a village that combines government and business. Changlin Village would not be able to solve the problem of food and clothing.

How can the village catch up?

The gap between rich and poor is inevitable for both villages in the future, and it will only get wider.

Lin Haoran had already considered himself a member of Changlin Village. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Although he was determined to help Changlin Village get rid of poverty and become rich, it would be difficult to lead Changlin Village to surpass Jiangcun.
