Chapter 48
Chapter 48
After Fan Yu drove the carriage around a few places to buy dim sum, he put the dim sum into a square bamboo stalk, and then put the bamboo stalk into the cart.Then, he drove his horse aimlessly along the street, and casually looked at both sides of the street.In the past, he just walked on the street, but now he is sitting on the horse's seat. Although this street is still this street, he looks strange and abrupt, maybe because of the different angles.
After driving the carriage like this for a while, he turned to look at the tail of his horse wagging from side to side, because it was walking slowly, and its tail could not fly back and up, but just It hangs down like that and sways left and right, like a girl's ponytail swaying as she walks.The horse that Fan Yu bought the first time was all white, without a single mottled hair, and even the tail looked so white that it caught the eye.
Fan Yu thinks that his horse is a tame horse. If you let it pull the mill, it will pull the mill, if you let it pull the cart, it will pull the cart, and now if you let it pull the cart, it will pull the cart.The chariot has wheels. Even if the body is heavy, it is not difficult to pull the horse.Fan Yu sometimes felt that the animals in his family had temperaments, like this horse, and now there were more opportunities to go out, so he felt that this horse was much happier than before.In the past, although it always stood beautifully in the kitchen at home, there were not many places where it could be used. Although it was not tiring to work, but it was depressed at home all day long, but now it is different Now, he can take a walk in the street from time to time, and Fan Yu thinks that this horse is obviously more energetic than before.
He just sat on the seat of the horse and studied for a while the horse that was first bought into his house, and then he thought it would be better to go to the west of the city for a walk, so he drove the horse there. Went to the north of the city.While sitting in the carriage and looking at the street, he thought maybe it was time to set up carriages with fan characters in other parts of the city.Although business is difficult at the beginning, it is easy to replicate the business model once it has passed the growth period and before it enters the mature period, and the money comes in the fastest during that period of time And the easiest.
His family's business is still growing, and there is still a long way to go before it matures. He thought it would be better to copy it first, and it would cost only a few dollars to start such a model, and the income would be directly doubled just like that.
During the period before him, the population of his family increased rapidly. To accommodate them, and to build houses, yard walls, and warehouses, there was indeed a lot of money to spend, and a part of the funds had to be saved for business, which could not be used. , He was so tired that he never redeemed his own lifetime contract.
He thought that it would be better to increase the speed of making money this time, and the first thing to do after he stabilized was to redeem his life contract.
He was thinking like this while driving the carriage, and once he got back, he started buying horses and carts, renting houses and buying people.
There are a lot of people in his house on the mountain now, and there are always people taking care of the house. Although they are all old men, they are still in good spirits, and now there is a high wall around his house on the mountain, a fortified look. Look, there are now two more dogs in it.There is no need to worry about the safety of the home.
And now it is convenient for him to go down the mountain to do something. Since he has a carriage, he doesn't need to bring Pudding with him all the way back and forth. Instead, he can entrust Pudding to the uncles in the house on the mountain to take care of him.
Pu Ding is almost eight years old now. Although it has been delicious and delicious for so long, it is only a little longer than half a year ago. Fan Yu looked impatient and wondered why the child didn't grow taller, did he? He lived too badly in the past and suffered some serious injuries, so that no matter how he repaired it in the future, it would not be effective, but this Puding looked healthy and healthy, and he wondered if this could be hereditary Yes, but that day when he was in the market, he also met Pu Ding's mother, and he didn't think that he was short, so he finally concluded: Maybe the growth has been slower in the past few years, and he might go there someday. Got taller.
He had seen such examples in schools in his world before, not just one or two.With this level of psychological comfort, he felt more at ease.
But he thought that Buding was almost eight years old anyway, and being small didn't mean he could eat and do nothing all day long. In his previous place, seven or eight-year-olds also went to elementary school in the morning.But in this place, he didn't think about letting Puding go to any school. Pudding is a child, so he can't go to school.What's more, even if Bu Ding is a man, such a path of official career is not something people like them can take. Besides, in such a world, there is no such thing as an official career. Fan Yu wants to make friends with two salaries Friends, he also doesn't want to send his family members on this road, thinking that when the officialdom is ups and downs, and there are no immediate relatives to cover it, then life will be even more difficult, so why not do it like he is doing now Business can also live well.
Since he made up his mind to let Buding learn something at home, he began to teach himself.He even bought the textbooks from the bookstore here.Naturally, there is no way to borrow these books for Buding’s teaching from Xiahouyi. The books from Xiahouyi are all too “advanced”, just like giving books read by a doctorate to preschool children.Therefore, the money for buying books cannot be saved, and I can only spend the money to buy them in the bookstore.
He was thinking about this subject and didn't know what to choose, so he thought about what he learned in elementary school, and then what the ancients in his previous world learned.In the end, I thought about Chinese and mathematics. It is necessary to lay the foundation, and then a little astronomy and geography is enough, which can inspire the ability of fantasy.But after he bought the astronomy and geography book of this world and read it, he felt as if he was reading "Ancient and Modern Strange Talks". It's the same as watching "Ghost Talk".He hasn't figured it out yet, so it's not easy to teach Buding, so after he bought those books, he read them as bedtime readings every day, and didn't plan to teach them to Buding. Man.
In the end, he decided to teach only Chinese and mathematics to Buding.Of course, the subject of Chinese in this place does not have "Chinese" written on paper, so he didn't know what to teach Buding. He even went to the school to inquire and found that the school taught those little boys. There are as many as six books used in his "Chinese" class, and finally he picked one - "Selected Works of Primary School".Then there is the arithmetic book, he picked out "Easy Calculation Mengqiu".
After buying pens and other stationery, I went home and started teaching Buding.Speaking of practicing calligraphy, he also wrote a post for Bu Ding to follow.Although the structure of the characters in this place is not only a little bit different from the Chinese characters he is most familiar with, it is not a problem at all for him who has practiced brush calligraphy since he was a child and has been practicing seal characters instead of block letters.No matter how weird the image structure of the characters here is, he can still recognize them relatively easily. The characters that require him to guess are only a small number, and he can guess correctly. When he writes by himself, he can also grasp those characters Structurally aesthetic.
The words on the market sign of his family's "Fan Zi Snacks" were written by him and asked to embroider.And it's not just him who looks good. Ever since his "Fan Zi Snacks" guise was hung on the street, people have come to him every three days and asked him which embroidery company he found to make it. , The handwriting is so beautiful, he said that after he wrote it, he asked someone to embroider it.Some of them didn't believe it, and said that the reason why they inquired was because the wine shop he opened had to change a plaque recently, and he hadn't decided which one to engrave. , and then took it to the shop where the plaque was engraved.He said that he really wrote it, or else he would take the paper and write it without money and give it to him.That person asked him to go to his wine shop that time, and Fan Yu wrote it to him, so he believed it, and then he really used the word Fan Yu to ask someone to carve a plaque.
From time to time, someone would ask Fan Zixiu where the characters on the guise of snacks came from, but it was not always the case that Fan Yu happened to check everyone's work at his stall.So after that, Fan Yu learned from the people in front of him that, for example, someone asked about this matter some other day. He said that if anyone asked again, he would tell those people to write down the words to be written and put them in the file and put them away first.
In this way, the people at this stall will collect it, and Fan Yu will take it home to write when he goes there, and then send it to the stall after writing, and those who ask them for the word will come to this stall to pick it up.
Therefore, in the past six months, a font appeared in Yumai City—an unknown font, which is used in many places anyway.It seems that a unified font is used on the plaques and covers of many restaurants, wine shops, silk and satin shops, lacquerware shops, and bronzeware shops in this city in a short time.I don't know which company used it first and which one used it later. In short, they all used the same font, and it looks pretty good anyway.
Even one day, when Fan Yu went to Xiahouyi's place to eat the dinner that he had to "crack" every day, Xiahouyi suddenly stopped his chopsticks and asked him: "Hey? I saw your food stall today when I passed by your food stall. As a pretense, why is it using a font that is especially fashionable in this city these days? When did you change it, and you have to follow the wind direction? Why don’t you see that you are learning the current fashion in this city on your clothes? Those outfits are the same ones that I wear around." Fan Yu also stopped his chopsticks, chewed and swallowed, and said solemnly: "Hey! You figure it out! My disguise is the number one in the city. Use that font!" Xia Houyi looked at him with a frown: "Really?"
This kind of thing is so annoying.It's like an ordinary girl wearing a style of clothes first, and then a pretty girl wearing the same style of clothes, but often in the eyes of others, it is the good-looking girl who wears The one with the poor appearance is the one who wears it later, just like the one with the good appearance.
This is often the case, and it is the same with things like the word Fan Yu.Many "top" big companies in this city are now using this font, so in the end, it seems that Fan Yu is following their example and using the taste of those big companies like them. Same font.
Fan Yu said: "Yeah, could it be that it's fake? You've seen that cover before, right? Don't you remember? It hasn't been changed all this time." Then, after thinking about it, he became angry, and instead of continuing to eat, he asked He: "Why are you asking this? Could it be that you want to change the plaque too?" Xia Houyi said: "No, I wrote all the plaques in my house myself. I won't change the gold-painted signboards." Fan As soon as Yu heard this, he took a piece of food with chopsticks and continued to eat, thinking not to think too much about this kind of thing, wasting time and emotions, and eating every meal in a comfortable mood is the most realistic .
In fact, this kind of thing will definitely make people angry, like a person who ran up to that plain-looking girl who first wore a certain kind of clothes and asked her, how do you learn from whoever wears clothes, all day long Some people will follow suit and learn how to dress like others.If the plain-looking person is said like this, he will definitely feel uncomfortable and feel that he has been wronged.
But Fan Yu is not a woman after all, so she should be more open-minded.If he is wronged by this person, he will follow suit and be wronged, and he will not lose a piece of meat.Thinking of this, he began to eat comfortably again.
After a while, he saw that Xiahouyi was still looking at him, so he asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?" Xiahouyi paused for a moment, and said to him mysteriously, "Oh, I want to tell you, don't waste this money indiscriminately." It’s a waste of money, you come to me for this kind of engraving of plaques and embroidering the cover, I’ll just write it to you.”
Where Fan Yu was in a daze, how could he have imagined that this person had been talking about it for a long time, just wanting to ask him for something like "asking for words" without looking for others, just come to him.
Fan Yu didn't know how to answer him, could it be that he said "No need, my signboard also only uses my own words, and I won't change it anyway"?Facing Xia Houyi's enthusiastic and mysterious face, he couldn't say such words.
He was in a daze like this for a while, and suddenly he was overwhelmed, and for some reason, he burst out laughing.Xia Houyi asked him what he was laughing at.He said nothing.After a while, he said again: "Okay, okay. Whenever I want to change my disguise, I will ask you to help me write one."
He never said that the words on his file were written by himself that day, just for Xia Houyi's face.Or for a kind of sentiment, he saw this person enthusiastically told him that he wanted to write a cover for him, and he also saw that there was a kind of mystery on this person's face, a kind of "I only write for you." , don’t write to others” mysterious feeling, he couldn’t bear to destroy such a friendship.
"I only write to you, not to others."
Thinking about it, it became "I only treat you well, not others."
After thinking about it again, Fan Yu suddenly felt that he seemed to like this kind of feeling.
