Chapter Eleven: My Heart Wants to Apprentice to Huashan
Many more people stayed in the inn inland one after another, and most of the twenty rooms were occupied. They came here for the cheap price. Four of them were obviously from the Jianghu, and they asked for three rooms, and also checked in
Got the horses.
Speaking of horses, although the He family's small courtyard is large, they do not let horses in. Instead, they rent the adjacent large courtyard to raise horses, so they are not afraid of having a hotel.
People know how to ride horses and carriages, and there is no place to put them.
After all, the He family is clean, even cats and dogs would go to the toilet or go out to relieve themselves. I guess horses in ancient times would not...
When it was time to eat, some guests came to ask what kind of food was available.
The chef of the He family is Father He, the shopkeeper is Mother He, He Binghong does odd jobs, and Grandma oversees the overall situation.
We didn't hire anyone else at all. We used the meals that the West Tower Inn could provide, which were home-cooked meals.
The staple food includes steamed buns, rice, noodles, and fried cakes. Except for the noodles, they are all prepared in advance and are heated just waiting for customers to ask for them.
The dishes are plentiful, not to mention chicken, duck and fish, but also vegetables and fruits. The most important thing is the cooking methods and seasonings!
After a dinner, everyone who had eaten at Hejia Xilou gave a thumbs up! And it quickly spread to the town, so much so that some people came to Hejia Xilou just to order and eat!
This not only satisfied Father He's vanity, but also allowed everyone in the He family to discover another way to become rich.
However, after sorting out the reserved seasonings, I realized that I couldn’t hold on for much longer...
After eating, people walking around the small courtyard saw the grandma sitting in the courtyard playing with the cat. They all bowed first to show respect, and then praised the little cat.
After all, there were no entertainment activities. We just chatted and ate, so we went back to our houses in twos and threes.
It was night, after all the lights in the inn were turned off, the He family were still sitting in the living room.
The more I look at it, the weirder it becomes. After traveling through time, it stands to reason that no one has had electricity or water supply, so it should have been stopped. But now everyone is using it well, and the needles on the electricity and water meters have not moved.
This is equivalent to free use! However, the He family rarely turns on the lights, and rarely turns them on in front of people, so as not to cause unnecessary sensation. Like now, they only turn on a light after closing the curtains, and the brightness is enough.
After sighing again, he didn't care anymore and turned on the TV. A picture appeared, which was none other than Laudano in the inn.
This is a scene seen through the eyes of sparrow Xiaoqi, using Xiaoqi's skills to show it through TV.
Without waiting for family members to ask, He Binghong explained Laudno's identity.
In fact, over this period of time, the He family has figured out that the world they live in is indeed the world of martial arts novels, with Linghu Chong and the Huashan sect.
But the specific dynasty is a bit confusing, because this is neither the Song Dynasty, nor the Ming Dynasty, nor the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, people only talk about the imperial court...
Now that he came to the world of martial arts, He Binghong was determined to learn martial arts, so he expressed what he had always thought, "I want to go to Huashan to learn martial arts from a master!"
"I finally said it. I thought you could hold it in for how long." After hearing this, Mother He was not surprised at all.
"It's good to learn martial arts. Grandpa Xie used to be very good at boxing!" Even grandma looked calm and recalled the past when she talked about it.
"Aren't you surprised? I'm just learning martial arts, so I just stepped into the martial arts world. The light of swords, the shadows of swords, love and hate... it's very dangerous!"
Before I mentioned it, I was afraid that my family would be worried about my safety and would not allow me to learn martial arts. But now that I see everyone looking calm, why am I feeling a little disappointed...
Looking at his father's smiling face, He Binghong suddenly understood, "It turns out it's you, dad..."
"Yes, your father said you wanted to learn martial arts on the first day you came here. Not only did you want to learn, but your father also wanted to learn martial arts. But now that the family business is on track, he has lost his interest.
It's better to be more stable at home." He's mother explained.
"Well, learning martial arts is just one of my hobbies. Now I find that cooking is pretty good. I think if I practice more, I can be a chef!" Dad He smiled proudly. Apparently, during dinner, the guests were very excited.
The praise made Dad He feel elated.
"You are the only one who is the God of Cooking. Han is not the credit of the seasoning. When the seasoning is gone, let's see how you catch the guest's stomach." Grandma attacked Dad He mercilessly, showing no mercy at all.
"Anyway, you can go home in an instant, and even if you fall from the sky, you can lie down comfortably in bed all of a sudden, so go ahead boldly!" Dad He waved his hand, quite like a marshal.
"Your dad and I have to take care of our family, and your grandma is here, so I won't go out with you to play..."
Well, He's mother directly decided that since there was no danger, He Binghong's journey of learning martial arts should be regarded as just fun.
Just listen to He Ma continue to say, "It's not bad to learn kung fu. You won't be bullied no matter where you go. Plus, with your incredible strength, you won't be able to become the best in the world, haha~"
"Okay then..." Since the family doesn't worry about him, he doesn't need to be verbose. Thinking of his father who also wants to learn martial arts, he said, "Dad, there is nothing you can do if you want to learn martial arts. When I come back, I will
I’ll just teach you again, just like my mother used to do Tai Chi at our house.”
"That's fine, that's fine." Everyone in the He family nodded in agreement.
However, the He family all took it for granted. In ancient times, as long as you studied under a master, you must listen to the master's words, and all sects had a rule, that is, the law should not be passed down lightly!
Since I have taught you martial arts, you must put your sect first. You cannot teach others privately, even your own relatives, without permission.
Ancient people didn't think that the He family came from modern times, had an open mind, and had a mentality of mutual exchange and learning. They thought it was just equivalent to going to school...
In fact, I still want to keep it simple. Ancient sects are not comparable to modern universities. It doesn’t matter if you change universities, as long as you can pass the exam. But once you enter a sect, you have to stick to it.
There is an old saying, once you are a master, you will always be a father. The ancients were very cautious about becoming a master. Recognizing the master is equivalent to finding a godfather. Whatever the master says, the apprentice will do whatever he wants, just like how he treats himself.
Biological parents are the same.
Of course, the martial arts world in this movie will be better and not so serious, but it can still explain the problems.
The He family doesn't know this yet, and has now begun to discuss what kind of apprenticeship gift to give.
"I heard that in ancient times, apprenticeships required a ceremony to learn martial arts. What should we prepare?" Dad He asked, thinking of the apprenticeship scenes in martial arts movies.
In the past, when the He family went out for festivals, it was He's mother who thought about what to give. Now it was He's mother who spoke first, "There are ancient customs in ancient times. Let's just ask here what they want to give, and we will give it to them."
Dad He shook his head and retorted, "That's not okay. You are a teacher. You know, last time you gave things to the teacher, wasn't it just to let the teacher take care of the children? It's the same here, things like this happen everywhere.
Accurate truth!"
"Where have I collected things?" He's mother was like a cat stepping on its tail, and her fur suddenly exploded.
"I'm talking about teacher, teacher! I didn't mention you...Besides, you are just a primary school teacher, who will give it to you..." Dad He muttered.
But it seemed to add fuel to the fire, He Ma's voice raised another note, "What's wrong with the primary school teacher? A primary school teacher is not a teacher anymore, ah?! Tell me..."
After a scolding, Dad He was speechless. From the apprenticeship ceremony to talking about teachers, and then to the issue of primary school teachers’ treatment, and then all kinds of unfair treatment, all kinds of complaints...
When He Binghong saw that the building was crooked, he quickly stopped his mother and abruptly changed the subject, "Hey, Mom, I think... we should show some He family characteristics."
"What are the characteristics of the He family?" Sure enough, Mother He's attention was suddenly brought back by her son, "What special characteristics do we have that we can use? Your father?..." After speaking, she still raised her arrogant chin,
He glanced at Dad He.
"..." He Binghong.
"..." Dad He.
"He can't take it out." Grandma said even more simply.
"I mean, we are people who have been outside the Great Wall..."
Speaking of this, Mother He suddenly understood, "Are you talking about the glass?"
"That's right, but it's not a glass, but a set of glass tea sets." He Binghong said, "After this month, the glassware has been passed around. Everyone knows that we have brought many good things, which are worth thousands of gold.
Not an exaggeration. And...
This thing is expensive and unconventional, so it will probably make a lot of impression!"
"Binghong is right," Dad He said. "When the time comes and the local customs of apprenticeship are added, it will be done."
"You still need to bring money. I heard that the Huashan sect is also a well-known and upright sect. They often help their neighbors and are eager for justice, but they live a simple and urgent life..." He's mother said and glanced at He Binghong, "Finally
The most important thing is that you have never suffered, so you can bear it..."
Well, no wonder he is generous and wants to give money to improve life in Huashan. In the end, he is still worried about his children suffering ~
How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, my son will ask about the apprenticeship ceremony. Then when do you plan to go?" Dad He saw that he had almost said it, so he began to make the final summary.
"Why are you so anxious?!" He's mother complained, "The child can't stay at home for two more days. Don't forget that he just returned from college not long ago!"
"Then let's wait until August 15th," He Binghong said. "After August 15th, I will go to study with a teacher and learn skills. It won't delay our family's holiday."
"If it's done, then I'll have to work for fifteen days before I go," grandma said, and she made the decision, "Nang, you can come back soon!"
"Okay, mama!"
With a response, the He family's living room gradually sank into darkness. What was still bright was the moon in the sky, and its bright light filled the entire He family's courtyard. There was just a small gap, and the moon was full.
Chapter completed!
