At dusk, Yang Xu stood on a stone at the entrance of Yangjiazhai Village, facing the mountain wind, looking at the winding mountain road, and muttering to himself.

"It's getting dark, and they should come back. I wonder if the things I made have been sold... I hope they will carry wine in their hands and meat on their shoulders when they come back... Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have praised them in front of a group of children. If the things were not sold, where would I get the money to buy wine and meat? Where would my old face be put at that time..."

Before, Yang Xu became angry and boasted to the children, saying that he would invite them to eat meat, but later he regretted it a little, worried that if the things he made were unpopular and could not be sold, then the bull that he had bragged would become a joke...

But what you say is like splashing water. Can you still cheat on a bunch of children?

Thinking that the students behind him might be looking at him with eager eyes, Yang Xu felt stiff all over and did not dare to turn around and face their eyes.

"Sir, are there really meat to eat tonight?"

Tiedan's voice rang again.

This little guy has asked several times in a short time, and Yang Xu can see a hint of greed flowing from the corner of his mouth every time.

Not only Tiedan, but also some other little guys. They haven't been involved in meat for a long time. When they heard that the gentleman invited him to eat meat, they were naturally full of expectations and excited.

"There should be...?"

Yang Xu laughed dryly, without any confidence in answering.

"Look!"

Erya's eyes were sharp, and suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the bend of the mountain road, leaping out loud.

Yang Xu was excited, his eyes widened, and he looked in the direction of Erya's fingers. He saw a few figures walking like flying, quickly approaching the mountain village. Who are not Yang Xing, Yang Fugui and others?

In the blink of an eye, the few people came closer and could see clearly that what they were carrying with their hands and shoulders was the wine and meat that Yang Xu was thinking about.

"The wine and meat are coming... I finally didn't do anything, I can finally give the children an explanation..."

Yang Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally a little smile appeared on his face.

The children rushed out from behind Yang Xu, raised their hands high, and cheered to Yang Xing, Yang Fugui and others.

※※※

In the evening, Yangjiazhai was no longer as quiet as before. Dozens of households gathered on the empty ground in the center of the village, smelling the aroma of meat from a few big pots, and everyone's faces were filled with joy and laughter.

Some old village residents in Yangjiazhai lamented that the situation in front of them was much more lively than the New Year season in previous years.

Many villagers' eyes fell on Yang Xu not far away, and their expressions were full of admiration and admiration.

Mr. Yang is really powerful. The small items he made in his spare time were brought to Jinyang City at the foot of the mountain and sold dozens of taels of silver, and bought so much rice, flour, wine and meat to share with the villagers.

The materials used for those small objects are wood and bamboo that the villagers usually despise. After Mr. Yang’s skillful hand-carved paintings, they turned into treasures. It is not an exaggeration to say that they turned stones into gold. It is really incredible!

This is almost a business without capital. If the villagers of Yangjiazhai can learn this craft, eating and drinking in the future may no longer be a luxury, and even eating a meal every now and then will not be impossible.

Thinking of this, some villagers looked at Yang Xu with a little more eagerness.

At this moment, Yang Xu was sitting on a big rock on the sidelines and was talking to Yang Xing, Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi beside him.

"I sold a total of 54 taels of silver this time, and the start was good... By the way, I won't go back on my word to you ten or two. Brother Yang, go back and get the money directly from the village leader, and then share it with Fugui, Dazhi and the others!"

Yang Xu lowered his voice and said to Yang Xing.

The first time he returned to Yangjiazhai, Yang Xing wanted to hand over the silver he brought back to Yang Xu, but Yang Xu asked Yang Xing to put the silver to Yang Hongyu.

Yang Xu understood the principle of guilt for possessing a treasure.

Fifty-four taels of silver are not much, but in the eyes of the poor Yangjiazhai Village, they can be called a "huge sum". As an outsider, he is like a rootless duckweed. With such a silver beside him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sleep at night.

Instead of being worried, it is better to hand over the money openly.

As the leader of the village, Yang Hongyu has the ability to do it. Where she lives is the safest place in the entire village. She is under her supervision, and no one else dares to have any other thoughts.

As for whether Yang Hongyu would swallow the money, Yang Xu was not very worried.

After coming to Yangjia Village, he had shown some skills. Maybe he could lead the Yangjia Village villagers on a road to wealth in the future. If Yang Hongyu was a visionary and smart person, he would not do such things as killing a chicken to get eggs.

According to Yang Xu's observation of Yang Hongyu, although the long-legged girl was cold and cold and didn't say much, she was absolutely smart and intelligent.

When Yang Xu asked Yang Xing to give the silver to Yang Hongyu, he also asked Yang Xing to bring a message and declare that only 50% of the money he earned in the future, 20% of the money he earned in the future was the commission of Yang Xing and his other errands, and the remaining 30% were controlled by Yang Hongyu.

In this way, Yang Xu and Yang Hongyu's interests are connected. I think that those long legs will take care of themselves more in the future.

"We just sold some foot strength, it's not worth getting so much..."

Yang Xing shook his head and refused.

Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi were ready to rub their hands, looking excited.

They had already thought about it. At this speed of making money, even if they only took 10% of them, there would be no problem with having enough food in the future. If they might have spare money to buy some sprinkled meat and add some new clothes.

They had already secretly decided that in the future, except for the leader and military advisor in the village, they would listen to Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang asked them to face east, but they would never face west.

Yang Xu smiled: "Jinyang City is too far away, I am too lazy to go down the mountain. I may have a lot of things in the future and need you to run errands back and forth, so you can take this money with peace of mind!"

When Yang Xing heard him mention Jinyang City, he suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Yang, we met Miss Yan Feixueyan from Meixianglou in Jinyang City today. She said she admired your talent and wanted to be with you for a while..."

Yang Xu was stunned: "Meixianglou? Yan Feixue? I don't know her..."

Yang Fugui spoke quickly and said a few words about Yan Feixue's purchase of a fan.

"The innocent prostitute in the brothel? I'm not interested... I don't see you..."

In Yang Xu's impression, most of these women who are having fun are acting out and are indifferent. He can't get any interest in dealing with such women.

However, in Yang Fugui's mouth, Yan Feixue's appearance was comparable to Yang Hongyu's long-legged girl. His vanity was slightly satisfied if he was admired by such a woman.

An ordinary bamboo fan was sold for ten taels of silver just because it was paired with good books, paintings and poems. The buyer was a happy woman, and Zhao Guowen was in a prosperous style, which shows that it was ordinary.

The incident of Yan Feixue buying a bamboo fan also gave Yang Xu a good way to make money.

Soon, the meat in the pot was stewed and the wine was opened. Every household had a large bowl of meat and soup, and some were also divided into some.

So dozens of families and more than two hundred village residents started to eat and drink under the night sky, beside the fire.

The aroma of wine and meat spreads throughout the village, and laughter echoes in the night.

The great-grandfather who lived in the small house in the village was lying on a stone slab in front of the door, enjoying the wine and meat sent by Yang Fugui.

"The villagers of Yangjiazhai have not been so happy for many years? All of this is due to that kid... Well, that kid is not good. It would be a pity if he didn't become my son-in-law in Yangjiazhai..."

The great-grandfather narrowed his eyes and looked at the villagers in the place where the fire was lit, wiped the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself.
