The fog is heavy in the early morning, and Wangyue Mountain is shrouded in a light layer of mist, which emits a green color.
Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu went into the mountain and tied the cow to a place where the grass was growing vigorously, letting it graze. Then I looked for a hillside and found a relatively flat and sunny place.
The two divided work and cooperated. Jiang Zhu went to the mountains with a basket on his back to collect herbs and fruits, while Ye Anyian took out a small mat and put it on the ground, sat down, and read a book while looking at the cows.
The book is about business, mainly introducing the current economic situation, the business system of this dynasty, taxation and other aspects.
In fact, I still have several books like this at home, all of which are related to business.
Since Ye Anyian decided to open a shop, he took the time to ask Feng Mingxu for books on business. Feng Mingxu enthusiastically made a list for him, and he went to the bookstore and bought a few books according to the list.
After all, he was still in college in his previous life and had never started any business of his own. Now that you have decided to open a shop, you must read more related books and at least find out the ways of doing business here to avoid unnecessary detours in the future.
The mountains are quiet, and the sun is slowly rising, shining warmly on me.
Ye Annian was engrossed in reading. He didn't know how long it had passed before he suddenly felt an itch on the back of his neck. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched it, but he caught a soft, furry thing.
"ah...!"
He was startled, turned around suddenly, and saw a half-sized tiger-striped lynx tickling him behind him. The thing he just grabbed was not that lynx's. ear.
Seeing that he had discovered her, the little lynx immediately lifted his arm with her head, stuck her head out from under his armpit, and looked at him with twitching ears.
That naive expression seems to be asking: Don't you recognize me?
Ye Annian was amused by its cute appearance and reached out to touch its furry little head.
The lynx suddenly turned its head, biting off the sachet hanging on his waist with one swift movement, then retracted its head, rolled to the side and started to inhale it drunkenly.
Ye Anyian:...
Well, he knew that no cat could resist the temptation of catnip.
While the little guy was rolling around on the ground and sucking on it, Ye Anyian looked at it carefully.
After not seeing each other for so long, the little lynx was a little bigger than the last time he saw it, and all the straps on its body were gone. It must be that the injuries were healed, so Ding Qiu took them off. .
He reached out and stroked the little lynx's body a few times, and couldn't help but admire the big cat's fur, which was smooth and full of tight tendons. The tiger stripes on its body still had a faint glow in the sun. It can be seen that they are well raised.
"Is it the bobcat from last time?"
Just as he was having fun masturbating, Jiang Zhu's voice came from behind.
He put the full backpack aside, then squatted down in front of the lynx, and reached out to stroke the lynx a few times.
The lynx rolled around on the ground and rubbed its head against his hand, looking affectionate.
Jiang Zhu was a little surprised: "It still recognizes me."
Ye Anyian smiled and said nothing.
Sure enough, the little thing snuggled into Jiang Zhu's arms. Jiang Zhu stretched out his hands to scratch its neck. The little guy raised his head in cooperation and made "purring" and "purring" sounds in his throat, enjoying it very much.
"So cute." Jiang Zhu looked back at Ye Anyian, "This hair feels better than copper coins."
Copper Coin has grown up now, and the hair on his body is hard.
"Right." Ye Anyian curled his lips.
Just when Jiang Zhu was wondering why he was laughing, he felt his waist drop, and the hanging sachet was bitten by a lynx.
After getting what he wanted, the little lynx didn't stop for a moment, and got out of Jiang Zhu's arms with the sachet in his mouth.
It bit both sachets open, and the nepeta powder inside immediately spread all over the floor.
The little guy first rubbed his head on the ground, then lay down and rolled happily.
Jiang Zhu was helpless: "It's quite smart."
Suddenly I heard a familiar "woof" sound.
The two of them looked up when they heard the sound, and saw Copper Coin spreading its legs and leaping from the bottom of the hillside, rushing up like a rocket launcher.
Due to too much momentum, the car failed to stop and crashed straight into a big tree next to it.
Ye Anian stretched out his hand to stop him, but was a step too late. He saw the lynx jump up from the ground, stretched out a front paw, and slapped the copper coin on the head, stopping it. .
The tip of Copper Coin's nose almost rubbed against the tree trunk. Looking at the lynx, he leisurely retracted his paws and was licking the pads of his feet with squinted eyes, as if laughing at the Copper Coin fool.
"Copper coins!"
"You run slower! We can't keep up!"
Not far away, a clear and childish voice suddenly sounded.
When Ye Annian heard the sound and looked around, he saw Fu Zai pulling Ding Qiu slowly towards this side.
Just as he was hesitating whether to hide with Jiang Zhu first, the copper coin next to him heard Fu Zai calling him and already responded at the top of his lungs.
"Woo~ woof woof!"
"Copper coins!"
Fu Zai came over after hearing the sound, and immediately met Ye Anian's eyes. Xiao Tuanzi was stunned.
He looked up at the lion king squatting next to Ye Anyian on the hillside, and his eyes like water grapes suddenly widened.
"Brother...brother?" Fu Zai was a little confused.
When he got up in the morning, he saw that Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu were not at home, and neither was the cow. He thought they had gone to town, but he and Brother Qiu came to see the Lion King, and they happened to bump into him?
Moreover, he and Brother Qiu were obviously well hidden. When did Brother Qiu become familiar with the Lion King?
"Come on," Jiang Zhu also came over and waved to the two children, "I picked black dates and persimmons, they are very sweet."
Seeing both of them smiling, Fu Zai felt relieved and helped Ding Qiu slowly climb up the slope.
As soon as the lion king saw them, he immediately came over enthusiastically, rubbed and circled around Fuzai and Dingqiu's feet, and even let out a coquettish "ouch" twice.
"Tsk, tsk," Jiang Zhu smacked her tongue and whispered to Ye Anian, "Look, there is an obvious difference in treatment."
"My two children are its lifesavers," Ye Annian glanced at him, "Who are we?"
"The parents of the savior?" Jiang Zhu laughed.
He picked out a few ripe persimmons from the basket on his back and distributed them to the two children and Ye Anyian. Seeing the lynx looking at him eagerly, he put the one in his hand on the ground.
The little guy stepped forward and sniffed it, and actually started to eat it.
"The Lion King is really not picky about food." Fu Zai gnawed on a persimmon and sat next to Ye Anyian, shaking his calves.
Ye Anyian pursed his lips meaningfully: "So it's called the Lion King. Did you raise it?"
"Ah... um." Fu Zai nodded, hesitating how to explain to Ye Anyian.
Ye Annian didn't ask in detail, he just said: "It's well raised. But, do you know what it is?"
"Isn't it a cat?" Fuzai asked curiously.
Ding Qiu hesitated and said, "It must be a lynx."
"Yes." Ye Anyian nodded.
"Isn't a lynx a cat too?" Fu Zai reached out and touched the satin-smooth fur on the Lion King's body, "But it is indeed more handsome than a domestic cat."
"The lynx's tail is very short," Jiang Zhu explained. "It is also wild-tempered and likes to run and hunt. It is more suitable to live in the mountains."
"Hey." Fu Zai blinked, "It turns out its tail is so short to begin with."
He thought he was being discounted by Ye Anbo and the others.
"But it is really good at catching pheasants and rabbits. It even caught pheasants for us before..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Zai raised his little hand to cover his mouth. He seemed to have let slip!
"So, it was the lion king who caught the pheasant before, not the copper coins." Jiang Zhu smiled.
Fu Zai nodded and admitted his mistake honestly: "I'm sorry, brother, Brother Jiang, I lied before."
"It doesn't matter," Ye Annian touched his head, "I believe you have your own reasons. But next time something happens, I hope you can discuss it with us first. After all, you are both still children."
"Yes, we will remember it." Ding Qiu took the lead in agreeing.
"I know, brother." Fu Zai also said.
The four of them sat on the hillside for a while. They saw the sun rising higher and higher, and the cows tied to the trees had gnawed away the surrounding land. They were so exhausted that they burped, and then they started to go home.
When they were approaching the door of their house, Ye Annian saw a figure standing under the old locust tree far away, looking towards them, not knowing what he was doing.
Just as they were wondering, the man had already seen them with sharp eyes, and ran over waving his hand: "Boss Ye!"
Ye Anyian paused, but the man had already run in front of him. When he saw Ye Anyian, he said with joy on his face: "I've waited for you to come back."
The man was wearing a blue-black coarse cloth and dressed like a servant. After speaking, he reached out and dug around on his body, took out a lease deed and a banknote, and handed them to Ye Anyian with both hands.
Ye Anyian immediately understood that Wen Heng's matter of renting a shop should have been settled, so he sent a servant to deliver it to him.
"Thank you."
However, when he took it and took a look, he frowned: "Only fifty taels left? Besides renting a shop, what else does your young master do?"
"You didn't do anything?" The servant scratched his head, "The second young master rented a shop on West Street according to your instructions, and then sent the young man to bring you the lease deed and the remaining banknotes. Nothing else was done!"
Ye Anyian's heart sank and he quickly read the lease carefully.
I saw black and white writing on it, and it read clearly: There is a shop at No. 104, West Street. The lease term is one year. The rent is fifty taels of silver. It must be paid in person and will not be refunded.
At the bottom are Wen Heng's signature and fingerprints.
Ye Anyian:...
Seeing his speechless expression, the waiter felt worried and asked: "Boss Ye, is...is there anything wrong with this shop?"
Ye Annian did not answer him, but asked: "When you went to Zhou Zaiqian to rent the shop, didn't you negotiate the price?"
"Ah?" The servant was stunned.
Ye Anyian:...
In other words, it must be because these wealthy young men are so easy to make money that even the servants' consumption concepts have been raised.
Seeing his expression, the servant also reacted, and he said cautiously: "Boss Ye, is the rent too expensive? In fact... my second son is away from home, and he never negotiates the price when spending money."
"It's okay, let's do this for now." Ye Anyian said.
It's already rented anyway, so it's not a waste of his money.
"Then do you have any other instructions?" the servant asked respectfully.
Ye Anian shook his head. He originally wanted to say that he would go and check out the shop tomorrow. If Wen Heng had nothing to do, he could go there with him, but thinking about it, this silly young master might just go and cause trouble.
He said: "No more, tell your young master to study hard."
The servant didn't understand what he meant, so he agreed and left.
Jiang Zhu stood beside him, bent his eyes and laughed: "Nian Nian, you are so connotative in derogating people now."
Ye Anyian rolled his eyes at him: "No duplication of words is allowed."
