Chapter 27: Yang Guo and Hawking
Chapter 27: Yang Guo and Huo Jin
Yi Fan's butterfly, with every flapping of his wings, the Tang Dynasty would produce a demonic wind out of thin air.
Yi Fan was trying hard to fan the wind with his palm-leaf fan. Time entered the June of the lunar calendar, and it was really the scorching sun and the scorching heat was unbearable.
It's a hot day, and the restaurant's business is not easy to make. Some dishes were originally just prepared in advance. When the guests came, they could heat them up a little and then carefully set up a plate to serve. Now it's not possible, it's too easy to change the flavor.
When the hot weather comes, there are more mosquitoes, and the entire restaurant is full of flies. Eight and a half-old boys, each holding a fly swattering, swatting the flies in the restaurant.
Yes, there are eight, you read it right. Abandoning Yi Feng, Yi Yun, Yi as the sun, Yi Zhongtian, Yi riding the wind, easily breaking the waves, and two more boys.
These two boys are only twelve or thirteen years old and have physical defects, one lacks a left arm and the other lacks a right leg.
Since childhood, the two were cut off by several bullies and threw them on the street to beg for money. If they couldn't get any money, they would beat them up and had no food to eat.
According to them, every few days the bullies would bring one or a few children back. Whether they chop their hands or stamp their feet depends on the mood of the bullies at that time.
Most children will die of bleeding after the incident. Even if they do not bleed, they will often die of ulceration due to wounds and cannot be cured. It can be said that it is a miracle that these two people can survive.
After listening to their stories, Yi Fan only felt cold on his back and his heart trembled. How could a person do this?
When Yi Fan asked where the group of bullies were, the two told him that those people had been caught and beheaded by the government. Since there were no welfare homes or orphanages in ancient times, the government could only fend for themselves.
After the two of them escaped from the clutches, their lives did not improve substantially. They still beg along the streets all day, but no one would deprive them of their labor.
If these two people had to escape freedom, they would have to thank Yi Fan. If Yi Fan hadn't had the earth bomb exploded in Chang'an City, it would have attracted the emperor's attention.
The emperor was afraid of another divine punishment from heaven, so he sent troops to clean up all kinds of shameful people and things in the dark corners of the city, and took this opportunity to be free.
Yi Fan also knew about his actions, which had a devastating blow to the evil forces in the entire Chang'an City.
The two of them were wandering on the streets and were sent to deliver takeout by Yi Feng and Yi Yun, who met and brought them back to the heaven and earth, and asked Yi Fan to take them in. After all, everyone was a member of the Beggars' Sect before, and they could help each other.
Yi Fan naturally refused everyone. Yi Fan, who is young and homeless, doesn't mind taking in more people.
Being young means learning quickly and not having formed their own unique outlook on life and values.
Yi Fan teaches them some modern knowledge, and gradually they will become the person closest to Yi Fan. In this way, Yi Fan, a time traveler, will be less conspicuous.
These half-boys who have received modern knowledge will definitely be able to stand alone in ancient times when they are eighteen to twenty years old.
It can be said that these half-boys are the foundation and capital of Yi Fan's future life in this world. Only those whom he trains can feel at ease when using it.
……………………
Yi Fan named the missing boy "Yi Yangguo", hoping that he could become a one-armed hero like Yang Guo.
The boy with broken legs was named "Yi Hawking". For this reason, he specially prepared a wheelchair and a crutch for the modern disabled person.
Generally speaking, both of them are in the kitchen, helping to cut vegetables and make a fire. Now the kitchen is already the territory of Chunhua and Qiuyue.
This spring flower, Qiuyue is the two girls with scars on their faces sent by the man's teeth when they opened last time. Not long after they arrived, they learned Yi Fan's cooking skills that were not even half a naughty.
Since learning the cooking skills and Yi Fan made the two chefs, they gradually became much more cheerful, not as lifeless as they were when they first came.
This name was naturally chosen by Yi Fan. Yi Fan was thinking about finding two more women and giving them "summer rain and winter snow", so that spring, summer, autumn and winter will be together.
The two were in the kitchen, and they were picking up customers at the door. Oh, it was not right, it was soliciting customers, grass, and it was not right, it was welcoming guests. Isn’t it perfect?
Because the weather was too hot at noon and there were no guests, Yang Guo and Hawking came out of the kitchen for some breath because the kitchen was too hot.
Chunhua and Qiuyue generally do not appear in the anteroom. Because of scars on their faces, they are more inferior. In such a situation where they are not busy, they usually hide in their backyards. Wu Meiniang does not allow them to go to the anteroom, saying that they are afraid that they will scare the guests away.
Wu Meiniang is the second only to Yi Fan in this family because Wu Meiniang is their Chinese teacher, and she is also the accountant and housekeeper of the restaurant.
The management ability of a generation of queen is really unexplainable. She is in charge of her family and restaurants in an orderly manner and is not at all messy.
Wu Meiniang likes her current life very much. Here she can be said to be a master of the world. Yi Fan, a real shopkeeper, can be said to be careless. She is the one who is in charge of all things at home.
She would occasionally hide some copper coins secretly, and with her monthly salary, she already had a considerable net worth.
She found that Yi Fan trusted her very much and never checked her account. As long as she had a surplus every day, Yi Fan would be very happy without losing money. Wu Meiniang liked the feeling of rights in hand very much.
Seeing that the days of selecting talented women in the palace are getting closer, Wu Meiniang is now very worried whether she should participate.
Wu Meiniang likes her current life very much. She lives a relaxed and comfortable life here. There are no rules here. Everyone just needs to do their own things well.
After staying here for a long time, she almost forgot all the etiquettes taught by her mother Yang.
"After going to the palace, I can still bear the complicated etiquette in the palace?" Wu Meiniang asked herself in her heart. Here she could control everyone except Yi Fan, but when she went to the palace, she would be subject to others' control.
The psychological gap between going from a person who manages people to a person who is being managed is unacceptable.
As the daughter of a Duke, Wu Meiniang saw the intrigues in the backyard since childhood. Even if she could stand out from thousands of talented girls, could she win the emperor's favor among the three thousand beauties in the harem?
Based on the above considerations, Wu Meiniang decided not to participate in the selection of talented women.
People are so wonderful. When you have only one choice, you will move forward bravely. When you face multiple choices, you will hesitate, hesitate, compare, and measure gains and losses.
When Wu Meiniang chose to stay in Yi Fan's place, in heaven and earth, this seemed to be the best choice at present. Little did she know that she had lost the opportunity to shine forever, and the most dazzling flower was missing from the Chinese history books.
