After Ning Yao and Die Zhang returned to the shop, Die Zhang suddenly stopped and did not dare to go any further.
Because Diezhang was in awe of the man who suddenly appeared at the door of his shop.
The opponent was a great swordsman who was famous for keeping strangers away.
Ordinary sword cultivators from other continents, no matter how bad-tempered they are in their hometown, they have to calm down when they arrive at the Great Sword Qi Wall.
The seniors on the left and right were different. As soon as they arrived at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there was a local Immortal Realm Sword Immortal stationed at the top of the city. He tried to ask the left and right sword master who was regarded as the person with the best swordsmanship in the world. In the end, the seniors on the left and right only replied with one sentence.
, "You can't learn my swordsmanship, but there is something you can learn from me. If you can't fight, just don't fight."
At that time, Lord Yin Guan on the side also said, "It seems to be alas."
The much-anticipated battle at the top of the city did not break out.
After the shock, Diezhang was filled with curiosity again. Why did the opponent restrain his sword energy so much? Everyone in the city knew that sword immortals always had sword energy lingering around their bodies. During the battle, using sword energy to open the way and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the demon army was
The same is true for sharpening one's sword skills alone on the top of the city.
But today, Haoran, who has the best swordsmanship in the world, has restrained his sword energy, and for the first time, he has not revealed any of it.
Ning Yao took Die Zhang to go shopping again.
Ning Yao returned after learning that Mr. Wen Sheng had left. He never thought that he had not left yet.
Before leaving, the old gentleman made a special trip to say hello and thank her. Ning Yao was actually confused at the moment and didn't know what happened to him. He needed to be thanked by a literary sage.
.
Regarding the subtle relationship between Chen Pingan and Zuo Zuo, it was not difficult for Ning Yao to understand what they were thinking, so he did not say anything to Zuo Zuo on Chen Pingan's side.
Nothing she said was appropriate, not to mention that Chen Ping'an had his own opinions on major life matters, so she didn't need Ning Yao to point her fingers or make suggestions.
Diezhang couldn't help but be curious. After walking far away, he asked Ning Yao with the ripples in his heart, "Chen Ping'an knows Zuo Dajianxian?"
Ning Yao nodded and said, "We have known each other for a long time."
Chen Ping'an wrote it all in his landscape travel notes, which is quite long.
Diezhang smiled and said, "Can you tell me more?"
Ning Yao shook his head and said: "No."
Diezhang pulled Ning Yao's sleeve and swung it gently, obviously trying to act coquettishly, and said pitifully: "Sister Ning, you can talk about whatever you want, there is always something you can talk about."
Ning Yao thought for a while, "You should go back and ask Chen Pingan yourself. He plans to open a shop in partnership with you. You can use this as a condition, so don't agree yet."
Diezhang quickly figured out the meaning of his words. Ning Yao had clearly dug a trap for himself. Diezhang laughed angrily and said, "I have no intention of agreeing to do business with him in partnership. Ning Yao, please stop this."
Ning Yao smiled and said: "It's not that I turned my elbow outward, it's Chen Ping'an who is right. You are not smart enough in business. If you replace it with him, you can ensure a smooth flow of money and abundant financial resources."
Diezhang frowned and stopped talking.
Ning Yao glanced at her and immediately knew what she was thinking, and explained: "Chen Ping'an was carrying one square-inch item and two close-to-hand items. Except for the ordinary wine in his hometown and a pile of bamboo leaves, it was completely empty. It was almost empty.
He didn't bring anything with him. If he really just wanted to imitate the many merchants on the cross-continental ferry in this Great Sword Qi Wall and earn immortal money from us sword cultivators by selling some messy things, Chen Ping'an wouldn't be like this.
I have been stuffed to the brim for a long time. So Chen Pingan wants to do business with you in partnership and only makes money with conscience. It is a habit. Chen Pingan has liked making money since he was a child, not just being rich. I must do this for him.
Let’s say it’s unfair.”
Diezhang felt relieved and smiled again, "That's good. Otherwise, I would have scolded him in person for being a lard, and it's okay for this newly recognized friend to be inappropriate."
Not long after the old scholar left.
Then he gently placed the wine bottle in his hand on the chair.
I don't like drinking, and it's troublesome to suppress my sword energy.
There is only one person in the world who dislikes his own sword energy too much.
Chen Ping'an was still sipping his wine, looking quite relaxed and happy.
Zuo Zuo sneered and said, "Isn't it hard to pretend to be calm and calm without Mr. favoritism?"
Chen Pingan was determined not to speak.
Zuo Zuo asked: "I didn't know that my husband would come to the Great Wall of Sword Qi before. You asked Chen Qingdu to come out. There is no problem. Now that my husband is here, why don't you take the initiative to speak up? Whether you agree or not is your business. Ask or not.
It’s the etiquette of a student like you.”
Chen Ping'an also put down the wine bottle on the chair, put his hands on his sleeves, leaned forward, looked at the street that was being renovated, and said softly: "It's not like I don't know what the situation is like, sir. I would embarrass you by saying this."
Isn't it? If Sir is not embarrassed, won't the student feel uneasy about his conscience? Even if I feel complacent and bring trouble to the entire Sword Qi Great Wall, it will affect the whole body and directly lead to the beginning of the war between the two sides. When Sir left
, how can it really not be difficult?"
He nodded his head left and right, acknowledging the answer.
If you, sir, have many worries, disciples should share your worries.
I remember the tall Mao Xiaodong, and my memory is a little blurry. I only remember that he was a serious young man who studied all year round. Among the many registered disciples, he was not the smartest group. He was slow in studying and most liked to ask people about knowledge.
Difficulties are difficult to solve, and Cui Chan often laughs at Mao Xiaodong for being a blockhead who doesn't understand. He only gives answers but never wants to elaborate. Only Xiao Qi will be patient and talk more to Mao Xiaodong.
He said slowly: "In the early years, Mao Xiaodong did not want to take refuge in Liji Academy. He insisted on being tied to the lineage of Literary Saints and accompanied Xiao Qi to Aquarius Continent to establish Cliff Academy. At that time, the teacher actually said something very serious
In other words, Mao Xiaodong shouldn't be so selfish and just want to put his own conscience at ease. Why can't he raise his ambition to a higher level? He shouldn't have such a sectarian view. If he can use greater knowledge to benefit the world, it doesn't matter whether he is in the lineage of literary sages or not.
Then Mao Xiaodong, who I had never looked down upon all my life, said something that I admired very much. Mao Xiaodong opened his voice and shouted directly at his teacher, saying that his disciple Mao Xiaodong was stupid by nature and only knew how to respect his teacher first.
To be honest and upright, the order of the two cannot be wrong. After hearing this, sir, he was happy and sad, but he no longer forced Mao Xiaodong to switch to the lineage of Li Sheng."
Chen Pingan picked up the jug again and took a sip of wine. "I went to Sui Academy twice. Senior Brother Mao was very concerned about me, for fear that I would go astray. When Senior Brother Mao reasoned, he had the demeanor of a Confucian sage and master."
He smiled and said, "Then you didn't see him tightening his neck and being speechless. When you talk to your husband, no matter how good the reason is, you can't spit on him. What do you think? Junior Brother
!”
Chen Ping'an quietly put the wine bottle back on the chair and only dared to hum, still not saying a word.
He stood up, grabbed the wine bottle on the chair with one hand, and then looked at the food box at his feet.
Chen Ping'an stood up and said, "I'll pay for it myself."
He glanced at Chen Pingan again.
Chen Ping'an could only continue: "It will be the same in the future."
Only then were you ready to leave.
Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "I hope I didn't disappoint senior brother."
There was silence for a moment, then he said slowly: "It's okay."
Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good."
After hesitating for a while, he said: "From today on, if someone says some weird words to you, saying that you are only able to achieve what you are today because you are born in the lineage of literary saints and have received countless protections, you don't need to talk nonsense with them and just fly away.
Send a message to the city with a sword, and I will teach them how to behave."
Chen Pingan was speechless.
It's really a bit uncomfortable.
He paused for a moment and added: "Even their parents and elders taught him."
Chen Ping'an seemed a little impatient when he saw the people around him. He thought he was going to teach him swordsmanship first. He remembered the widely circulated saying among wild cultivators that a Taoist friend will die but a poor Taoist will never die. He had to nod quickly and said: "I'll remember it."
You no longer worked hard to suppress your sword energy, and turned into a rainbow and walked away to the city.
From the city to the top of the city, wherever the sword energy came from, the ancient sword energy that filled the world gave way to a fleeting path.
At the top of the city, the hands holding the wine flask gently lifted up their sleeves. Inside was a bound book that Chen Ping'an had given to his husband before, but he secretly kept it for himself for some unknown reason.
His most beloved closed disciple Chen Ping'an even hid it.
Use sword energy to isolate a small world on the left and right, and then drink and read a book.
Place the book on the city wall in front of you, and when your mind moves, your sword energy will turn over the book.
I drank the wine in the pot unknowingly and turned my head to look at the sky, where my husband was leaving.
Ever since he became the most destitute Confucian sage in the world, he has always kept smiling, but everyone knows that he is not really smiling. His disciples are scattered and wandering, and he feels guilty.
Only after seeing that young junior brother who has so much arrogance that he is now willing to accept him as his husband, even if he doesn't smile much or speaks much, even if they are separated, he is destined to be smiling broadly at this moment.
That Chen Ping'an may not know clearly. If he arrives at the Sword Qi Great Wall and hears that he is at the top of the city, he will rush to him in a hurry and call him senior brother.
You will be disappointed yourself.
How could Xiao Qi choose such a junior brother?
If you secretly build the ancestral hall in your hometown and hang a portrait of your husband, you have to take the initiative to thank yourself for the credit, and you will be even more disappointed.
Why did you choose such a closed disciple?
If you feel that this person's sword skills are not bad, you should learn to sword.
You will be most disappointed.
Why should I recognize such a junior disciple?
But none.
That is the little junior brother you have been waiting for for hundreds of years.
It's even better than the image of my junior junior brother that only existed in my imagination at first.
When they said goodbye to each other in Jiaolonggou, there were words left and right that were left unsaid, and they were hoping that Chen Ping'an would do something.
Unexpectedly, Chen Pingan not only did it, but also did it very well.
Travel through three continents and see all the mountains and rivers.
So after reading the contents of the book, I understood why my husband deliberately kept this book to himself.
So at this moment, Zuo Zuo felt that his awkward "It's okay" at the door of the store earlier made my junior brother feel sad?
If the husband had been present at that time, he would probably have beaten someone again.
He didn't look back for a long time.
The way of heaven and earth is broad and thick, high and clear, and long-lasting.
It's a pity that the worries in my heart are as fast as the sun and the moon.
After he left without drawing his sword, Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief. He was lying to himself if he said he was not nervous. He quickly packed up the chairs and stools and put them back in the shop. He sat on the threshold and waited for Ning Yao and Die Zhang to return.
When he came from left and right, he made no sound, but when he left, he did not deliberately cover up the traces of the sword energy.
Therefore, most of the sword immortals on the other side of the Sword Qi Great Wall should be aware of the movements that led to their departure from the city.
What's more, the people sitting openly and openly at the door of the store were a silent speech in themselves.
Before the old scholar appeared around his disciples, he used his magical power to cover up the world and let only those in the shop know.
After the left and right arrived, the old scholar removed the spell.
People of the Literary Sage lineage always worry too much, act after worrying too much, and are always decisive, so they seem to be the most unreasonable.
Ning Yao and Die Zhang returned here. Chen Pingan stood up and said with a smile, "I'm here to entertain guests. I'd like to trouble Miss Die Zhang."
Diezhang asked with a smile: "I don't ask about the identity of the old gentleman, but why did Zuo Dajianxian take the initiative to come here to drink with you? I have to ask, lest in the future all the belongings in his shop are inexplicably gone.
Know who to complain to."
Chen Ping'an said: "On the left and right are my senior brothers. The one who was sitting in the middle is the husband of both of us, a great Confucian literary sage in the world."
In the Great Wall of Sword Qi, having a backer is of little significance anyway. There will be no shortage of fights that need to be fought, and there will be no shortage of battlefields that need to be fought.
What's more, the student Cui Dongshan is right, there is no need for teachers and seniors who earn their own money to deliberately hide it.
Dieshang silently walked into the shop.
There is no way to chat anymore.
Ning Yao and Chen Ping'an sat on the threshold together and said softly: "Fortunately, the boss Sword Immortal is now watching the city in person and not allowing anyone to go south for any reason. Otherwise, you will be in danger in the next battle. That monster clan
Bian, there are a lot of calculations."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Sir and Senior Brother Zuo both know what's going on."
Ning Yao nodded, "What to do next?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Practice diligently, refine your Qi more, and strive to reach the Cave Mansion Realm as soon as possible. Completely refine the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month into your destiny. At the same time, sharpen the Golden Body Realm. Once you reach the Far Travel Realm, it will be much easier to fight. However,
These two things are difficult to achieve for the time being. Among them, it is said that gathering all the natal things belonging to the five elements is difficult to reach the sky. The two natal things of metal and fire are hard to come by. If it is not possible, don't deliberately pursue the Tai.
A person of high moral character must first build a bridge of growth to cope with the next battle. Ning Yao, you don’t need to persuade me about this matter. I have weighed the pros and cons very carefully. The grades of the three natal objects at the moment are not
When talking about other matters on the path of spiritual practice, I will only talk about my natal objects, which are actually enough to support me to reach the realm of earthly immortals and even the Jade Pure Realm. I cannot be too demanding about perfection in this matter. On the path of spiritual practice, I really cannot be too slow, otherwise I will not be able to reach the fifth form.
As a Qi practitioner in the Qi realm, it is inevitable that the spiritual Qi will be scattered, but when the martial arts realm has reached the seventh level, a pure Qi will run more or less in conflict with the spiritual Qi, which will actually drag down the combat effectiveness. During this period..."
Having said this, Chen Pingan frowned and sighed, "I still need to learn swordsmanship from my senior brother."
Ning Yao said: "No, that's good. Senior Zuo is the most suitable and qualified person to teach you swordsmanship. Don't forget, your senior brother himself is not an innate sword embryo."
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "You can't just lie down and drink medicine in Ning Mansion every now and then."
Ning Yao smiled and said, "It's okay. I learned how to cook medicine from you at Lizhu Cave, but I never had the chance to put it to use."
Chen Pingan endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold it back, "It's not like I haven't seen you cook medicine with your own hands. If you dare to cook it, I don't dare to drink it."
Ning Yao clicked his tongue and said, "Once you recognize me as senior brother, you will become tougher when you speak."
Chen Ping'an immediately said bitterly: "I'll drink it as wine."
Diezhang looked at the two at the door and shook her head. She was so sad.
Chen Ping'an remembered something, turned around and said with a smile: "Miss Diezhang, as long as I can help the shop make money, how about we split the account between four and six?"
Diezhang smiled and said, "Are you a little short?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Then we have no choice but Sanqi? Miss Diezhang, you really go off the beaten path in business. No wonder the business is so...good."
Diezhang was so angry that he could not speak.
Ning Yao was a little gloating about his misfortune.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's hard for gods to make extra money in this grocery store. I knew I was going to stay at the Great Wall of Sword Qi for a long time this time, so I brought some more ordinary drinks from my hometown. Why don't we jointly open a small wine shop outside the shop?
All you need to do is put more tables, chairs and stools, so you don’t have to worry about running out of seats when there are too many guests. As long as the wine is good, you can drink it squatting on the floor and it will taste good.”
Diezhang said curiously: "You said it yourself, it's just ordinary market wine. Even if there are a lot of drunkards here, even if the shop can sell it, it will be sold out at some point. Besides, if the price is high, it's easy to ruin your character. I don't do that."
That shame is deceptive."
Chen Pingan twisted out a green bamboo leaf, which was full of energy and verdant. "As soon as I threw it into the wine pot, the price went up. But this is the first-class wine sold in our shop, and the second-class wine.
Buy that big wine vat and put a few more bamboo leaves in it, I still have this."
Chen Pingan opened the palm of his hand and found a wine worm he had borrowed from Wei Bo. Wouldn't it hurt his feelings to discuss a business? The wine worm, even in the vast world, is a rare thing that can only be found. Wei Bo
It was also after three night banquets for the gods, and there were hints that a certain landscape god finally reluctantly parted ways with her. In addition, there were hints from Wei Bo, and it was considered that this god could be absent from the fourth night banquet.
To compensate, I am willing to pay tribute to a wine bug.
Chen Ping'an said confidently: "I've tried it. Just the wine bug, it's still not a very good wine. Compared with the expensive Xianjia wine, it's indeed much inferior. Add the bamboo leaves and the wine will taste better."
There is a difference between cloud and mud. So before we open our shop, we should try to collect as many low-priced common drinks as possible. The more, the better. Stock up first. When the quantity is enough, we will open the door to welcome customers and buy the drinks ourselves.
I guess I can’t keep the price down, and if I buy too much, I’ll arouse suspicion, so I can give Yan Zhuo and Chen Sanqiu some dividends, just like that, I don’t need to give them too much, they have money, and we are the only ones who have no money in our pockets.
people."
Ning Yao leaned against the door of the shop, looking at the guy who was particularly energetic when talking about business affairs.
Die Zhang was a little hesitant, not that she was hesitating whether to sell wine or not. She already felt that there was no need to doubt this matter. She would definitely be able to make money. It was just a matter of making more or less. Moreover, she still made money from rich swordsmen and sword cultivators. Die Zhang didn’t have any money at all.
She has an uneasy conscience and wants to drink from someone else's drink. What really makes Diezhang a little hesitant is that she has to get involved with Fatty Yan and Chen Sanqiu. According to Diezhang's original intention, she would rather make less money and have higher costs.
, and did not ask friends to help. If Chen Pingan had not mentioned that he could share the dividends with them, Diezhang would definitely reject the proposal directly.
Chen Ping'an was not in a hurry, put away the wine bug in his sleeves, and put the bamboo leaves close at hand. There were a lot of bamboo leaves and branches, which were all brought to the Great Wall of Sword Qi. He smiled and said: "Miss Diezhang, I take the liberty to say,
Your business temperament really needs to change. In business matters, if you think it is a business with uncertain profits and losses, it is best not to involve friends. This is right, but this kind of business that is sure to make profits without losing money,
If we don't call our friends yet, we are being unkind. But it doesn't matter. If Miss Diezhang thinks it's really inappropriate, we will open a smaller wine shop. It's just a slightly higher cost. We will stock less wine in front of us and make less money. When we wait for a lot of
The money is safely in your pocket, we will discuss this matter again, there is no need to worry at all."
Diezhang seems to have fallen into a new entangled situation, and he is worried that Chen Ping'an will have a grudge in his heart if he rejects the other party's genuine kindness.
Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "Then we'll treat it as a deal and split the accounts between 30 and 70?"
Diezhang smiled and said: "50-50 split. Drinks and shops are indispensable."
Chen Pingan said: "I carry tables, chairs and benches and place them casually in an open space on the street. Isn't it also a wine shop?"
Diezhang said: "I don't believe that Ning Yao can afford to lose face like this. Even if Ning Yao doesn't care, are you, Chen Ping'an, really willing to do it?"
Chen Pingan was speechless.
Ning Yao was about to speak.
Diezhang hurriedly said: "Ning Yao! We have been friends for so many years, but we can't forget our friends when we have a man!"
Ning Yao originally wanted to say that it doesn't matter if I even help with shouting and selling wine, do I still care about this?
But Ning Yao couldn't bear it after he said this in the mountains.
So I finally bargained and saw a 46-cent bill.
The reason is that Chen Pingan said that he had won four games in a row, which made this street famous. If he came to sell wine, it would be a gold-lettered signboard that cost no money, and it would attract more drinkers.
Diezhang really admires this guy's money-making skills and shamelessness.
However, Diezhang finally asked: "Chen Ping'an, you really don't mind selling wine and earning such trivial money, will it damage the face of Ning Mansion and the Yao family?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and asked: "Miss Diezhang, have you forgotten my origin? I don't steal or rob, I don't cheat or cheat, it's all about earning a copper coin."
Ning Yao couldn't help laughing.
It is estimated that this guy who is obsessed with money will be able to sell the wine to the boss Jianxian once the shop opens but there is no sales and no one is willing to buy wine at first.
Diezhang was silent for a long time, then whispered: "I think our wine shop is quite a scam."
Chen Pingan waved his hand and said confidently: "The price is written there. Whether you want to buy it or not, when the time comes, we will have no worries about sales. Whether we sell it or not depends on our mood!"
Only then did Dieshang feel a little more at ease.
Earning a lot of money to buy a house has always been Die Zhang's wish, but Die Zhang himself knows that he is really not good at how to make money.
Die Zhang thought that the deal was settled, and Chen Pingan was about to return to Ning Mansion with Ning Yao. Unexpectedly, Chen Pingan was already standing at the counter and took the abacus. Die Zhang asked doubtfully: "Isn't it just to buy wine and stock up? It's very difficult.
I can still do simple things."
Chen Ping'an looked shocked. This time he was really not pretending. He laughed angrily and said: "Is there such an easy deal in the world? Miss Diezhang, I regret partnering with you! Who do you want to break up with?
For wine, you have to choose some restaurants that are deserted, right? How can we bargain the price when the time comes? How can we reduce the price if we buy too much? How can we talk about people and ghosts without thinking about it first? How can we seal the contract first to avoid seeing it?
Our store's business is good, but the other party regrets that he won't sell wine. Even if he doesn't sell, how can we compensate our store as agreed? There are so many things that are scattered, and there are too many. I guess you can't negotiate alone. There is no way. I turned around and replied.
Zhang Mianpi, just watch from the side. I'll give you a demonstration first. Besides, these are just the basics of buying wine with others. Besides, when the shop opens, first of all, please invite some drinkers who look like passers-by.
The momentum, the sword cultivators of whatever realms are not allowed to draw a line, privately promise to give them several pots of high-quality bamboo leaf wine that is hard to buy for free, and let which sword immortal is responsible for it, claiming to take care of the whole thing?
The drinks in the shop are more suitable and don't show any trace. It's not like a shill. You can't care about it. After making money, how can you settle accounts with drunkard friends like Fatty Yan and Chen Sanqiu? We are just a small business.
You must not keep accounts, you must have a charter early..."
Diezhang lost all his momentum and felt more and more guilty. Listening to Chen Ping'an talking endlessly across the counter, Diezhang began to wonder if he was really not suitable for business.
Why did she suddenly feel that it was much more difficult than practicing swordsmanship?
Ning Yao stood next to the counter, smiling and eating melon seeds.
So in the end, Diezhang timidly said: "Chen Ping'an, let's divide it into three or seven. Just seven for you and three for me."
Chen Pingan was about to nod in agreement.
As a result, Ning Yao was immediately slapped in the elbow. Chen Ping'an immediately smiled and said: "No, no, no, 50-50 split, as agreed, you still have to be honest when doing business."
Chen Pingan turned sideways and glanced at Diezhang, "I am honest, Miss Diezhang, you have to show your sincerity. Why don't we each take a step back and divide the accounts between four and six."
Diezhang nodded, and then said to Ning Yao with an innocent face: "Ning Yao, Chen Ping'an winked at me secretly, I don't know what he meant."
Chen Ping'an received another elbow, grinned and extended his thumb to Diezhang, "Miss Diezhang still has some sense when it comes to business."
Many more details were discussed.
Note down the peaks one by one carefully.
Chen Pingan and Ning Yao left the small grocery store and walked on the edge of the street. Chen Pingan passed the restaurants and bars along the way and said with a smile: "From now on, we will all be enemies in the same industry."
Ning Yao said softly: "Thank you."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It should be."
Ning Yao hesitated for a moment and said: "Die Zhang likes a gentleman from the academy in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, can you explain?"
Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said: "I can help you with some things, but I really can't do this kind of thing."
Ning Yao clasped his hands behind his back and praised leisurely: "Don't you understand the love between children very well?"
Chen Pingan said categorically: "I know nothing about the conscience of heaven and earth!"
The small house hidden among the back alleys was filled with large wine jars. She didn't have enough capital. Chen Pingan actually still had ten Grain Rain coins for personal use, but she couldn't be so foolish as to take out one Grain Rain coins to buy things.
It is easy for people to raise prices to death, so I asked Ning Yao for a bunch of scattered snow money. I gave Chen Pingan and Diezhang to all the restaurants and shops where I could buy cheap and bad wine. These drinks were in the Jianqi Great Wall.
The sales volume in the streets and alleys of the city will not be very good. This is the weird thing about the Sword Qi Great Wall. Sword cultivators who can afford drinks are not willing to drink these, unless they are drunkards who owe too much on credit and cannot pay off their alcohol debts temporarily.
Xiu, just hold your nose and drink this. However, the price of the real Xianjia wine in restaurants and large restaurants is as high as a flying sword, far higher than that of Daixuanshan, which is just across the door. The sword immortal will feel double the pain in his body. Now he drinks it from Daoxuanshan.
Access to the Jianqi Great Wall is strictly controlled, making life increasingly difficult.
Chen Ping'an bent down and opened a wine vat, and the wine bug was soaking in it, swimming leisurely like a small fish, drunk and enjoying himself very much.
Each vat of wine had to be soaked with wine bugs for three days before it was considered mellow. A few bamboo leaves and a bamboo branch were placed in it. They were not named Bamboo Leaf Green, which was first proposed by Diezhang, or Bamboo Branch Wine, which was suggested by Ning Yao.
Chen Pingan’s final decision was Zhuhai Dongtian Wine, also known as Qingshenshan Wine.
It was such a shock to Dieshang, who was used to earning money with conscience, that he was dumbfounded.
Chen Ping'an spoke earnestly at that time, saying that these bamboo leaves and branches he had were really produced in the Bamboo Sea Cave. As for whether they came from Qingshen Mountain, I would ask later when I have the opportunity. If not, then when selling wine,
I won’t mention that “alias”.
In addition to preparing to open a wine shop and sell wine to make money.
Chen Ping'an spends an unbeatable six hours refining his qi in the Ning Mansion every day, and occasionally it lasts as long as seven or eight hours.
Ning Yao gave up the Dragon-Zhanying Pavilion and practiced swordplay more in the martial arts arena of Jiezi Xiaotiandi.
When Chen Pingan was resting, he squatted at the foot of the hill with the sword and concentrated on sharpening the edge of the sword.
Occasionally, Fatty Yan, Dong Heitan and the others would come here to sit for a while. Fatty Yan would seize the opportunity and make sure to let Chen Pingan observe his crazy magic boxing skills and ask if he was a martial arts wizard who was delayed by sword practice. Chen Pingan
Of course he nodded and said yes. Every time he gave the same reason, Chen Sanqiu felt that it was even more unbearable than Fatty Yan's boxing. Once, even Dong Heitan couldn't stand it.
, looking at the disgusting Fatty Yan on the martial arts field, he asked Chen Pingan, are you telling the truth? Is Yan Zhuo really a martial arts genius? Chen Pingan smiled and said of course not, Dong Heitan then thought in his heart
Be comfortable. After hearing this, Chen Sanqiu sighed, covered his forehead, and lay down on the bench.
During this period, almost every day, a little girl with sleeves full of pastries came to the door of Ning Mansion, clamoring to learn from his master.
Once, Ning Yao dragged her into the front door of the house and gave her a good beating. She finally calmed down for a day. Unexpectedly, just one day later, the little girl came again. But this time, she was smarter and ran away when she was called. She could fly in one day.
She ran back and forth several times, but she had nothing to do anyway. Then she blocked the way for Ning Yao, dragged her by the ear into the house, and asked the little girl to admire Fatty Yan who was boxing in the martial arts arena, saying that this was Professor Chen Ping'an.
Do you still want to learn the boxing skills?
With tears in her eyes and trembling lips, the little girl said that even so, she still had to learn boxing.
The little girl silently wiped her tears and said with choked sobs that this is what her mother said. Only by enduring hardship can one become a great person.
Ning Yao had no idea, so he asked Chen Pingan to take action in person. At that time, Chen Pingan was discussing a top priority with Aunt Bai and Grandpa Nalan. Ning Yao didn't say anything about it, so Chen Pingan had no choice but to follow him to the martial arts field in confusion.
As a result, I saw the little girl who bowed her head to him as soon as she saw him.
He was no stranger to it, among the four fights on the street, the little girl was the loudest, and it was hard for him not to notice.
Chen Ping'an couldn't help a little girl casually, so he quickly moved away and said helplessly: "Don't kowtow yet, what's your name?"
The little girl quickly stood up and said loudly: "Guo Zhujiu!"
Chen Pingan nodded, raised his left hand, counted his fingers, and sighed: "Unfortunately, the names don't match. I can't accept you as my disciple for the time being. We'll talk about it later."
Guo Zhujiu said with a sincere face: "Master, then I should go back and ask my parents to help me change my name? I also think this name is not good, and I have endured it for many years."
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "No, I accept the disciple based on fate. The first time, I look at the name first. If it doesn't work, it will take another three years. The second time, I don't look at the name but the time. You still have a chance then."
Guo Zhujiu was very upset, stamped his feet, and ran away, shouting that he was going to turn over the almanac and choose the auspicious day for himself in three years.
Yan Zhuo and Chen Sanqiu stood aside blankly, their eyes nearly popping out when they saw each other.
Guo Zhujiu is a little weirdo. He has been confused since he was a child. He is definitely not stupid. He is an excellent innate sword embryo. He is praised as the pillar of the future by the Guo family. He is not smart enough. There are countless jokes made by this little girl.
She was simply the pistachio on Chen Sanqiu's street. When she was a child, she loved to run around with a sheet on her back, going from door to door, never going through the front door, just hanging out on the roofs and walls. If she hadn't been beaten by Dong, she would have been beaten a lot.
, I finally had a better memory, otherwise it would probably still be the case now. There are also rumors that Mr. Yin Guan actually selected two candidates, besides Pang Yuanji, it was Guo Zhujiu.
Chen Pingan was obviously in disbelief, "Is this possible?"
Chen Sanqiu smiled bitterly and said:
"Whether it works or not depends on whether Guo Zhujiu comes tomorrow."
Chen Pingan looked at Ning Yao.
Ning Yao said: "It's hard to say."
Chen Ping'an didn't think much and continued to discuss matters with the two seniors.
Regarding the boss Jianxian's visit to the Yao family to propose marriage, Chen Pingan certainly would not rush it.
Inside Chen Ping'an's wing, Aunt Bai asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "That little girl Guo Zhujiu wanted to learn from her, but she fooled me."
Nalan Yexing joked: "It's actually not bad to have one more named disciple for free."
Chen Pingan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Such a big thing cannot be trivial."
Aunt Bai said: "The Guo family and our Ning family have been friends for generations and have never broken off."
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment and looked at Aunt Bai with a somewhat inquiring look.
Aunt Bai nodded and said: "He is the only one. After the master passed away, the Guo family came to Ning Mansion to pay homage. Later, the head of the Guo family straightforwardly opposed the Qi family swordsman face to face regarding the Dragon Cliff slaying. Otherwise, it would have been someone else.
Our young lady will not drag this little girl into our house twice if she behaves so blindly. But there is really no need to take it too seriously when it comes to recruiting disciples."
Chen Ping'an said in a deep voice: "I'll give it some serious thought about Guo Zhujiu."
Nalan Yexing smiled and said: "There is no rush in these matters. Let's talk about Mr. Chen's fourth natal object. Only with the Changsheng Bridge can Mr. Chen truly understand what it means to practice Taoism. After that, he will not be an innate sword embryo.
You can also become a sword cultivator reluctantly. Don't underestimate the word 'reluctantly'. As a Qi practitioner, the biggest difference is whether you are a sword cultivator or not. For the reason, Mr. Chen can ask the boss Da Jian in private.
Fairy."
One early morning, a shabby wine shop opened on the Great Wall of Jianqi. The shopkeeper was the young, one-armed female swordsman, Die Sheng.
Standing next to him was the young man in a green shirt. After setting off a large number of extremely noisy firecrackers with his own hands, he smiled brightly and clasped his fists in all directions.
If Diezhang was not the manager of the wine shop in name only, there would be no turning back and she had already spent all her money. She actually wanted to stay in the shop, just pretending that the wine shop had nothing to do with her.
There were tables and stools placed in front of the two of them.
Ning Yao and Yan Zhuo were hiding in a shop filled with large and small wine jars and wine bottles. Even the thick-skinned ones like Fatty Yan and the ones like Dong Heitan who didn't know what shame was, all of them were really serious at this moment.
Too embarrassed to walk out.
On the main street, the road surface has just been renovated and smoothed. The shopkeepers of various restaurants and bars are standing in front of their respective doors, cursing.
Because there was a couplet hanging outside the door of the little shabby shop, which was said to have been written by the young warrior himself.
The swordsman wields a three-foot sword, and when he raises his eyes, he looks around at a loss, wondering where his opponent is, and the hero is lonely.
Two ounces of wine in a cup will cost you all the sorrows of eternity. Once you get drunk, you will rest. Money is nothing.
Good guy, you pure martial artist Chen Ping'an, can you, a foreigner like you, have some face?
This is nothing, I heard that the small shop still sells drinks related to the Tianqing Mountain of Zhuhai Cave!
What is money?
If it really doesn't matter, how can you earn any money by opening a damn shop?
On both sides of the street, whistles were heard.
After all, Diezhang was thin-skinned. Sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his face was tense. He tried not to show his timidity, but couldn't help but asked softly: "Chen Pingan, can we really sell half a jar of wine?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Even if no one really cheers, if you follow my established rules, you will still have nothing to worry about and make money. Before that, it would be better if someone comes to buy wine. It's early in the morning, so there will be fewer guests.
, which is also normal.”
After lighting the incense, there were still no guests coming to the door, making Dieshang even more worried.
Chen Pingan shouted at the top of his voice: "Open the door and get a jar of wine, 50% off! This is the only jar, first come, first served."
Then someone actually came.
Diezhang asked in confusion: "He is also the person you invited?"
Chen Pingan was also a little surprised and shook his head: "Of course not."
The person who came was Pang Yuanji.
He sat on a bench and said with a smile: "Get the cheapest one, and don't forget to get 50% off."
Chen Ping'an turned his head and looked at the dumbfounded Dieshang, and chuckled softly: "Why are you standing there in a daze? The boss personally served the wine to the table."
Diezhang quickly took a jar of "Zhuhai Dongtian Wine" and a large white bowl, placed them on the table in front of Pang Yuanji, helped remove the mud seal of the wine jar that had been open for a few days, and poured a bowl of wine to Pang Yuanji.
Feeling uneasy about her conscience, she forced out a smile and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito, "Your Majesty, drink slowly."
Then Chen Pingan took an extra wine bowl, sat at Pang Yuanji's table, picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanji, thank you for your support, I must offer you a bowl. That's it."
With Brother Yuanji's capacity as a prime minister, the Sword Immortal has not escaped, so I'll drink first as a token of respect!"
The sight of the stacks makes me want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl down there. How can a wine seller drink from his customers?
Pang Yuanji waited for Chen Pingan to finish drinking, and actually poured another bowl of wine for Chen Pingan, but it was not full. It was just a small jar of wine. How many bowls can he drink? Fortunately, the white bowl carefully selected by this shop is not big, so it looks
The amount of alcohol is sufficient.
Pang Yuanji regretted sitting here. The business will be deserted in the future. If there are too many people drinking, he will have to curse to death. Holding the wine bowl, he lowered his head and sniffed. It really has the meaning of Xianjiajiu Niang. It is better than imagined.
It is better, but this jar of wine only costs one snowflake. Is the price too low? With such a taste, in other restaurants on the Jianqi Great Wall, it should cost a few snowflakes to start. Pang Yuanji only
I know one thing, not to mention the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there is no wine seller in the world who loses money.
Chen Ping'an and Pang Yuanji clashed their wine bowls, and each drank down the wine in one gulp.
Then Chen Ping'an went to bring out a jar of wine, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "It's half price. For two jars of wine, I only charge Brother Yuanji a piece of snow."
Pang Yuanji drank the wine in the bowl and found that the wine tasted just fine, so he tolerated it.
Pang Yuanji drank a jar of wine, picked up the jar of wine that was almost "helped" by Chen Ping'an to open the clay seal, took a piece of snow money, got up and left, saying he would come back next time.
Diezhang wiped her forehead and took the snow money from Chen Pingan's hand. She smiled brightly.
Then, about half an hour later, when I started to worry about the store's "financial progress" again in Dieshang, I saw another customer coming to the ground floating in the wind. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Chen Ping'an.
She found that Chen Pingan was a little nervous after he said "It was still an accident"?
The visitor is Wei Jin, the swordsman of Fengxue Temple who also comes from Aquarius Continent like Chen Pingan.
Wei Jin ordered a pot of the most expensive wine, five snowflakes were spent on a small pot, and a bamboo leaf was placed in the pot.
Wei Jin was not in a hurry to drink and asked with a smile: "Is she okay?"
Chen Ping'an was on pins and needles, but he couldn't pretend to be stupid. After all, the opponent was Wei Jin, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "She should be considered very good. Now she has become the head of a sect, but I was almost killed by her in the Ghost Valley."
You, Wei and Jin, are here to cause trouble, right?
Regarding the earliest female crown of the Shen Gao Sect and the later head of the Qingliang Sect, He Xiaoliang, Chen Pingan did not hide anything from Ning Yao, and they all told the causes and consequences.
Fortunately, Ning Yao didn't show any anger about this. He only said that He Xiaoliang went too far and that he would meet her for a while if he had the opportunity in the future.
However, Wei and Jin didn't open any of the pots today. Chen Ping'an still had a chill down his spine. He always felt that there was a strong sword energy inside the shop.
Wei Jin drank a bowl of wine and asked again: "Does she really like you?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I don't know."
Wei Jin nodded, poured another bowl of wine, drank it all, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is busy first, there is no need to greet the guests."
In the end, Wei Jin sat there alone, drinking slower but not stopping.
Most of the infatuated men in the world like to drink the heart-breaking wine. The person who really cuts the heart with a knife is always the sweetheart who is not beside the wine bowl.
Chen Ping'an squatted at the door, with his back to the shop. It was rare to earn money and he couldn't smile. Instead, he was very worried.
Because when Wei and Jin drank their third bowl of wine, they took a small summer coin and said that when they drink in the future, they will deduct it from this small summer coin.
Fatty Yan and Chen Sanqiu were very knowledgeable and didn't say a word more.
But Dong Heitan, who was dumbfounded, said, "I think there is a story here."
Chen Pingan finally understood why Fatty Yan and Chen Sanqiu were sometimes so afraid of Dong Heitan speaking. Every word he flew with his sword could really kill someone.
Wei and Jin had not yet gotten up and left. If Chen Ping'an was granted amnesty, he quickly got up.
It turned out that the little girl Guo Zhujiu had dragged a few of her peers over to cheer her up.
Guo Zhujiu got straight to the point and said directly to Chen Pingan that there is no three hundred taels of silver here. He respectfully called Chen Pingan "Master in three years" and continued: "My friends and I just found out that this place is open.
I have to come here to buy some drinks at the liquor store and go back to honor my parents and elders! Master, after three years, I really don’t have to drag them here!"
Then Guo Zhujiu gave them a look.
Those little girls who had been knocked on the door by Guo Zhujiu in the middle of the night yesterday to remind them not to forget this matter were all listless. They gave money to buy wine, held it obediently, and then waited for Guo Zhujiu to give orders.
They really don't care about earning those three snow coins from Guo Zhujiu.
This has bothered Guo Zhujiu for many days.
Some people wanted to give Guo Zhujiu six snowflakes directly, but she didn't accept it because she wanted to collect money.
In the end, Guo Zhujiu also spent three snow coins to buy a bottle of wine, and explained: "Master, in three years' time, they will all pay for it themselves!"
Chen Ping'an said seriously: "I'll make a calculation and halve it in three years. After one and a half years, we can see if it's suitable to accept a disciple."
Guo Zhujiu held the pot in one hand, made a fist in the other, waved it vigorously, and said happily: "Today is indeed an auspicious day to buy wine! I really didn't memorize that old almanac in vain!"
With Pang Yuanji, Wei Jin, and these little girls joining in one after another.
The wine shop now has a business.
Depending on the posture, it is not difficult to protect capital.
This was enough to make Diezhang overjoyed.
【.】 Diezhang gradually became busy.
Regarding selling wine, it was agreed in advance that Dieshang would have to put in more effort on his own. Chen Ping'an couldn't keep an eye on this place every day.
Inexplicably, Dong Heitan has been taken away by Chen Sanqiu and Fatty Yan.
Ning Yao leaned against the counter inside the shop, eating melon seeds and looking at Chen Ping'an.
Chen Pingan asked tentatively: "Are you not angry?"
Ning Yao said: "How is that possible?"
Chen Pingan said with a sad face: "How could it be possible not to be angry? Or how could it be possible not to be angry?"
Ning Yao blinked, "Guess."
Chen Ping'an lamented, "I'll pour a glass of wine myself and do the accounting."
Ning Yao suddenly laughed and said: "Who is He Xiaoliang, worthy of my anger?"
Chen Pingan stood in front of her and asked softly: "Do you know why I wasn't depressed at all after losing to Cao Ci three times?"
Ning Yao asked: "Why?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Because Ning Yao is too lazy to remember who Cao Ci is."
Then Chen Ping'an also leaned against the counter and looked at the diners at the wine table outside. "After seeing you, the poor kid who grew up in Mud Bottle Alley has never been short of money again."
Ning Yao looked at his less and less hidden smile. She stopped eating melon seeds and asked, "Are you making fun of my lack of heart at this moment?"
Chen Pingan immediately put away his smile, and then immediately realized that he was no smarter than the little girl, and he still had three hundred taels of silver here.
But Ning Yao handed over his palm, and Chen Pingan grabbed some melon seeds.
Ning Yao chewed melon seeds and said, "I'm not angry if such and such a woman likes you."
After a pause, Ning Yao said: "But if one day you like a woman other than me, I will be very sad. If such a day comes, you don't need to say anything sorry to me, let alone come to see me and tell me this in person.
I don’t want to hear about things.”
Chen Pingan stretched out his hand to hold Ning Yao's head and shook it slightly, "Don't think wildly. It may be difficult for me to become a person with a high level of cultivation in this life. There is always a mountain higher. I can only work hard and work hard to complete it step by step.
It’s agreed, but Chen Ping’an is definitely the person who likes Ning Yao the most in the world, so there is no need to work hard on this matter.”
The wine shop business is getting better and better.
That Chen Ping'an instead became the hands-off shopkeeper.
Every time I go to the shop, I mostly chat with the little kids, and I hold a small stool and borrow the little book with the children to read.
Occasionally Chen Pingan would teach them how to read.
Later, the young man in green shirt, who was full and had no money to make, left a Ning Mansion Dragon-Slaying Platform instead of seizing the opportunity. He quickly tempered his spiritual energy and ran to the streets and alleys to carve monuments.
He collected a large pile of paper, and then often sat under the sun and told a group of children stories about landscapes, ghosts, and ghosts from all over the world, and became a storyteller.
Later, when a child asked about words he didn't recognize, the young man took out a bamboo branch and wrote and drew on the ground. He just explained the words briefly and said nothing else. Even if the children asked more, the young man would still understand.
He just smiled and shook his head, and after being taught how to calligraphy, he started talking about all the strange things and scenery in his hometown.
One day, a young man in a blue shirt with no hosta on his head was basking in the warm sunshine of a foreign land. He taught some words and told some stories. He placed a bamboo branch across his knees and recited softly: "The sunrise has rays, the lamb fur is shining brightly."
Like wetness."
Seeing that the man stopped, a child asked curiously: "What next? Is there anything else?"
The man put his hands on his knees, looked forward, and said slowly: "At the time of the Waking of Insects, the heaven and earth sprout, and all things begin to flourish. I lie down at night and walk early in the morning, walking widely in the courtyard. A gentleman walks slowly in order to cultivate his ambition..."
Among the children surrounding that bench and that person, no one could understand what the content was saying, but they were willing to listen quietly to the person reciting it softly.
In the remote streets and alleys of the Jianqi Great Wall, it is like having an extra elementary school with no real teachers and no real children.
