Throughout the day, there was a sense of restlessness in the refugee village.

Until evening, Yang Youtian called everyone to hold a meeting in the open space in the village.

The attendees are all heads of families.

Women and children gathered in the distance to sew clothes and put on shoes, looking over at the men from time to time.

The cat who was among them unconsciously became the center of attention.

Surrounded by aunts and sisters-in-law, they couldn’t stop praising me.

The peach grove at the entrance of the village is the public property of the village, and the quality of the harvest is related to the quality of life of each household.

At this time, the news that Chen Chu had planted the 'fairy peach' had spread in the village, and the women naturally wanted to convey their gratitude to the hostess of the Chen family.

The cat tried its best to purse its lips to appear more reserved.

But the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still betrayed his inner joy and pride...

"In the past, a pound of peaches would cost twenty or thirty cents, but our fairy peaches sell for sixty cents per pound!"

On the men's side, everyone was still discussing how much the 'Xiantao' should be sold for, and Yao Sanbian expressed his opinion.

But the younger Wu Kui disagreed: "Uncle Yao, if you ask me, the price starts at a hundred yuan per pound!"

"Even if there are words, it's still a peach! Who can afford a hundred words per catty?" Yao Sanbian retorted.

"Rich families don't care about these small amounts of money." Wu Kui was also very sure.

"Rich families have money, but they are not stupid..."

Seeing the two people arguing, Yang Youtian stood up and said, "Let me tell you something first."

When Old Man Yang spoke, the scene immediately fell silent.

He then coughed, looked around at everyone, and said: "This magical skill of leaving words on fruits was taught to you by Brother Chu. You must keep your mouth shut. If Brother Chu nods, don't fail to teach me."

With others, please remember to inform your mother-in-law when you return."

"This is natural."

Everyone responded one after another.

"Furthermore, when you get the money from selling this fruit, you need to share it with Brother Chu." Yang Youtian said again.

"Brother, we all have the same intention."

Everyone still has no objection.

Everyone can see that Brother Chu is a treasure.

Not to mention his kindness in buying food for the village and his friendship with everyone, even if it was to let Chen Chu stay in the village, no one would care about a little money.

Chen Chu smiled and bowed his hands to everyone.

After talking about these two things, Yang Youtian asked Chen Chu in a consultative tone: "Brother Chu, how much does a pound of these peaches cost?"

After Chen Chu pondered for a while, he said, "I can't say for sure now. I'll just have to wait and see when I get to the city tomorrow."

"That's fine."

Yang Youtian agreed, and then waved his hand and said: "I'll get up at Mao tomorrow to pick peaches, and I'll go down the mountain before now. Brother Kui, Peng Er, I, my eldest son, and my eldest son, Brother Chu, will go with us."

"Okay."

Several people whose names were called responded one after another.

.......

The next day, the second day of June.

The group arrived at Tongshan County around 11 a.m.

The peaches I brought down the mountain this time included not only the fairy peaches, but also hundreds of kilograms of ordinary peaches.

After entering the city, several people were divided into two groups.

Yang Youtian led Wu Kui and Peng Er to drive the ox cart to the market to sell ordinary peaches.

Chen Chu and Yang Zhen, the eldest son, took Xiantao and went elsewhere.

However, Chen Chu only led the two of them around the city, and they neither saw him shouting loudly, nor did he take the initiative to sell to high-profile households.

At the end of noon, the three of them found a shade to rest.

"Brother Chu, who are you going to sell this fairy peach to?" Yang Zhen couldn't help but ask.

Chen Chu didn't say anything, but took out a piece of clean old calico from his arms. When he unfolded it, he found two large pancakes decorated with wild onions.

The eldest son, who was squatting aside and eating multi-grain steamed buns, immediately felt that the steamed buns in his hands were no longer fragrant...

Chen Chu casually divided the pancakes into three portions and handed them to the two of them respectively.

"Well, it smells so good! Brother Chu, who made the pancakes? They are delicious..." Yao Changzi took the pancakes and ate half of them in a few bites.

"Who else could it be? It must be his wife." Yang Zhen said sourly.

"Isn't that right?" Chen Chu puffed up his cheeks and said while chewing: "My wife is really irritating and disobedient at all. She obviously told her to leave early today and not let her get up to cook. But she refused to listen.

, got up at the end of Yinshi.

Just get up and make some simple meals, but she just made pancakes that are time-consuming and labor-intensive but delicious! Hey, it’s annoying to have such a disobedient lady!”

"..." Yang Zhen curled his lips and simply turned his head away from looking at Chen Chu's face.

But the eldest son Yao listened and tried to persuade her seriously: "Brother Chu, you can't say things like that. Your wife really cares about you, how can you say she is annoying."

"Eldest son! Are you stupid? Can't you tell that he is showing off!" Yang Zhen scolded.

After eating half of the pancake, I was full but a little thirsty.

So Chen Chu asked: "Dalang, is there a teahouse nearby?"

"There is a teahouse on Yaqian Street. If you are thirsty, you can just ask for a bowl of water from someone else. Why go to a teahouse and spend unjust money?"

"How can eating and drinking be called a waste of money?"

Chen Chu couldn't help but walk towards Yaqian Street, and the two of them had no choice but to follow.

At noon in early June, the weather was already very hot.

There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and the clerks in the shops on both sides propped their heads on the counters, looking drowsy.

After walking a few hundred steps, a few people saw the flags of the 'Song Ji Tea House'.

Chen Chu was about to walk in when he heard someone shouting in the store: "Mr. Liu is here..."

Before he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly appeared from nowhere on the quiet street and rushed into the teahouse.

The three of them were shocked.

In the blink of an eye, the teahouse that was empty just now was filled with people.

Afterwards, Liu Changqing lifted the curtain and walked into the hall, boarding a wooden platform that was more than a foot high.

He didn't say a word, but a burst of applause broke out from below...

"Mr. Liu, will there be a follow-up to "Journey to the West"?"

"Ashamed, it's still only this time in "The Great Sage Stealing Pills with Peach Blossoms, Against the Gods of Heavenly Palace Catching Monsters"." Liu Changqing said with cupped hands on the stage.

"Hey, I don't know who wrote this strange book, but it only wrote these five chapters, which makes people worried." Someone in the audience commented.

But another anxious audience member said: "Stop chatting, Mr. Liu, please start speaking quickly. I have listened to the first five lectures three times, but I can't get tired of them..."

Hearing the conversation in the teahouse, Chen Chu chuckled and said to Yang Zhen: "Okay, let's sell the peaches to these people."

......

"The two immortal officials under the Qitian Mansion are waiting in the morning and evening. They only know how to eat three meals a day and sleep on the same couch at night. They have nothing to worry about and are free..."

At the beginning of Shen Shi, the crowded teahouse was quiet, and there was no other noise except Liu Changqing's voice.

At this time, he had already talked about the fifth chapter of "Journey to the West", which was also the last chapter he copied.

Chen Chu stood guard outside the teahouse, nodding frequently.

No wonder Mr. Liu is so popular. The wonderful story is naturally the main reason, but the man's yin and yang twists and turns, and his eloquent narration are also a major advantage.

I am born to be a storyteller.

When Liu Changqing told the story of Wukong's first entry into the Peach Garden, Chen Chu couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"...the fairy peaches in the peach garden have all kinds of magic...the fruits will have various words of 'Fu Lu Shou Xi'..."

Yang Zhen, who also had his ears propped up, heard this and finally understood. He quickly turned to look at Chen Chu, raised his thumb and said: "High! Brother Chu, high! Hahaha..."

When he opened his mouth, he alerted the waiter guarding the door of the teahouse.

The three of them dressed up as farmers and squatted at the door to listen to stories, which already made the waiter a little disgusted. They heard Yang Zhen yelling and yelling, which aroused the waiter's dissatisfaction.

"You guys are making so much noise, don't disturb my guests!" the waiter scolded in a low voice.

Yang Zhen's thick eyebrows were raised, and he was about to get angry, but Chen Chu was ahead of him and handed out a peach and said with a smile: "Brother, what do you think this is?"
