Chapter 8: Receive two brothers

In the early morning, when Yi Fan woke up, he heard a "swish" sound in the yard. He put on his clothes and went out to see that it was two little kids cleaning the yard.

These two little beggars were the little beggars who came to ask for food when Yi Fan closed the stall yesterday.

Yesterday, Yi Fan gave them a few cents and then led the big green ox back on his own. Unexpectedly, the two little beggars did not leave, but followed behind the ox cart timidly.

Seeing this, Yi Fan called the two of them in front of him and asked, "Why are you following me?"

The two of them were a little afraid of Yi Fan and did not dare to look at him. After a little silence, the little beggar with a scar on his hands bravely raised his head and looked at Yi Fan. His eyes were filled with the light of prayer and hope, and pointed at the big green cow and said, "Little man, we can herd cattle and mow grass for the cow."

Looking at them, Yi Fan understood that he wanted him to take them in. He was silent for a long time. When the flame of hope in the little beggar's eyes gradually faded, Yi Fan said, "Let's go!"

Yi Fan turned around and led the big green bull and walked back. The little beggar looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. They didn't know what Yi Fan's simple two words "Let's go". Should I let them leave? Or let them follow him?

The two little beggars still caught up with Yi Fan and followed him. Yi Fan didn't know why he was willing to take in the two of them at that time. He had no thought at all and made this decision based on instinct.

It has been a while since I came to the Tang Dynasty. Yi Fan was lonely during this period, but this era is still too strange after all.

At this time, two rootless duckweeds appeared and his lonely soul appeared, and they walked together like this.

The little beggar with scars on his hands is called "Goudan". It's funny to say that the scar on his hands was bitten when he was fighting with a wild dog. A man named Goudan was bitten by a dog. I don't know if the dog would feel the pain when bitten.

Another little beggar is called "Da Zhuang", which is also a funny name. He is so thin that he is still called "Da Zhuang".

Dazhuang's right leg was a little limp and his walking was uneven, but it was not very obvious. He needed to look carefully to see. He was also beaten when he was in a hurry to steal something.

The two of them went in to wash and put on clean clothes. They were no longer as unbearable as they did yesterday. Although they were still pale and thin, their hair was dry and yellow, they looked much more energetic.

When the two saw Yi Fan leaving the door, they stopped the broom in their hands. They were at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to say or do. The look was like a student who had made a mistake and met the head teacher.

Yi Fan didn't care about the two of them, so he went to the kitchen to make a bowl of water and then got some salt. He took out a clean cloth, sprinkled the salt on the cloth, and then put the cloth into his mouth and brushed his teeth.

In the past, when I read novels, I usually used willow branches to dip salt in salt to brush my teeth. Yi Fan didn't dare to use it, because he was afraid that the willow branches would hurt his gums, so he had to use cloth instead. Of course, he also refined the salt himself. As a time traveler with gold fingers, it was not a small idea to refine some salt.

It’s not that Yi Fan didn’t want to learn the pig’s feet in the novel and hand over the method of refining salt to Li Shimin to replace him with a high-ranking official and a generous title, but there must be a way!

I can't run to the imperial city and shout at the top of my voice, "Li Lao Er, come out for me, I have something good for you." I guess I won't see the sun the next day.

Another way is to kneel at the gate of the palace, hold the method of refining salt with both hands, and respectfully present it to Li Shimin. As a modern person, Yi Fan cannot do such a thing.

As a time traveler with golden fingers, it is still easy to live in this backward ancient times. There is no need to humbly repay Li Laoer's thighs.

When we came to this era, Yi Fan always felt a sense of trance and unreality, like he was having a dream or playing a game, everything here was illusory.

There is also a sense of liberation, like the emotions that have been suppressed for a long time in the heart, which can be fully released in this world.

Modern laws, ethics, and various rules and regulations have lost constraints on myself here, and even have a great feeling. I have the greatest feeling that I can do whatever I want in this world and do whatever I want.

However, the reality is that his body, which was transformed by the God of Time Travel, is only thirteen or fourteen years old now. Any adult outside can lie down, not to mention doing whatever he wants.

After a simple breakfast, Yi Fan took his two newly acquired brothers to the market. Yi Fan decided to buy more mutton today and switch to the business to sell braised meat.

Looking at the two of them following him, I couldn't help but think that this was true. When my body was shocked, my little brother bowed his head and bowed.

The three of them walked around the market and bought half a sheep, as well as some other things.

Back at the residence, Yi Fan began to teach the two of them step by step how to deal with mutton and how to braised meat. The two of them opened their bright eyes and learned seriously. They knew that this was teaching them a craft to make a living. As long as they learned this craft, they would not have to worry about eating and drinking.

After getting the mutton done and put it on the ox cart, the three of them came to Pingkangfang staggeringly. They unloaded the ox cart in the old place yesterday and set off the formation.

Not long after, Xiao Cui brought a few maids to the stall: "Little brother, why are you here? It's almost noon."

Hearing this title, Yi Fan was speechless: "That, you should call me little brother!"

Xiao Cui was also puzzled: "Why? You call me a little sister, is there anything wrong with me calling you a little brother? Look at you, don't look older than me? Why do I call you a little brother?"

Yi Fan was speechless and remembered that this was ancient times, not the modern era where you called me little brother or I called you little sister.

Yi Fan stopped explaining and started making pancakes. Soon, there was a circle of people in front of the stall. These were all followers sent by diners who tasted braised mutton yesterday.

Fortunately, Goudan and Dazhuang have more help today, so I won’t be so busy that I can’t find Bei.

After finally seeing off these people, just as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, a fat middle-aged man was welcomed in front of the stall. This man was dressed pretty well, with a white face and a sharp voice.

"Little shopkeeper, how do you sell this mutton?"

Although he heard the man's voice and got goose bumps all over, Yi Fan still smiled and said, "Braised mutton, forty cents per pound."

The fat man said in a slightly perfunctory tone: "Yeah". His eyes were staring at the turfed mutton rolling in the pot, and he wanted to stuff his whole head in to see what was going on.

After a while, the fat man shook his head in disappointment: "Little shopkeeper, I'm going to tell you that our family is from the imperial kitchen in the palace. Yesterday, the emperor suddenly wanted to eat mutton like you, but no one in the imperial kitchen in the palace could do it. After inquiring about our family, we found you."
