Chapter 43: Jia Wooden House
In the blink of an eye, it is already early spring. ()
The trees all over the mountains have not yet sprouted new buds, but the wilderness has already had a little spring feeling. Although there is no trace of spring grass in a large desert slope, you can see several goose yellow and tender green colors from a distance towards the plain.
Lu Yuan has been playing iron and researching scrolls recently. He has nothing to do, but he has the idea of opening a store.
Early that morning, before the dew had dissipated, Lu Yuan pushed the door and walked out.
He moved out a four-foot-long wooden plaque and nailed it to the door lintel. The wooden plaque was cut out from the cross section of a whole piece of wood, imitating modern craftsmanship, using the color of the wood as the base, and wrote three simple Chinese characters with simple brushwork - "Jia Wood House".
Lu Yuan's name is homophonic, "The road is very far", meaning "a good man is determined by all directions." Although his family was poor when he was young, he had a lot of books. His father was a scholarly family, and his family was a small scholar. His family came to the northeast when he fled the famine, but his hometown was in the south. According to the genealogy, he can also be regarded as a descendant of Lu Yu, the "tea fairy" who said.
So the tradition at home is to like reading and drink tea. When Lu Yuan was young, he was very dissatisfied with his father always hiding in the study with a cup of tea, but he could not be as good as other fathers, and be powerful as calling friends to gather to play mahjong...
But after he worked for a few years, his way of taking a break from his busy schedule became to find a secluded corner, drink tea, and read online novels... Haha, I can only say that the power of parents' words and deeds is really irreplaceable.
The two words "Jiamu" are taken from a sentence from Lu Yu Tea Classic, "Tea is Jiamu in the south."
The words on the plaque are from the teacher of Shikoya, Renjian, and written by Bai Ze Huiyin. However, the font is written very simple and generous. Without the delicate spirit of a woman, Lu Yuan was very satisfied.
After all, Lu Yuan has been an ancient man for decades. His own brush and calligraphy are pretty good, especially after having the Grandmaster's Heart Mirror, his writing can be his own style. But he doesn't like to leave his pen and ink, and any straw paper with his handwriting will be carefully recycled. But Bai Ze Huiyin was just because she received a lot of money from him and was a little bit angry when she saw him. This is because Lu Yuan's conceptual mistakes. In fact, the traditions in the world are similar to those of the Heian period in Japan, and there is no concept of charity donation at all.
If a rich man spends a lot of money on a private school, he must ask for a return - from the students who go to his home to serve after graduation to ask female teachers/male teachers to serve him... any request can be made. And it is almost impossible to be rejected. The so-called "bearing/raising" theory is not untrue. At that time, Huiyin of Uchihara was knocked out by his gold. When she woke up, she fell into a tangle - it was a gold that was enough to solve the funding of Terakoya for the next ten years.
Especially after Lu Yuan declared that this was a free donation several times - Lu Yuan was so noble, she felt that it was no big deal to sacrifice. I heard that he was just poked... I just didn't know if his taste was heavy. I was busy revising history books, so I didn't have much thought. But every time on the full moon night, when it turned back to the shape of a white ze beast, I still wanted to be poked...
Ushibashi Aiyin is even ready to devote herself to the cause of education... Of course, her good friend Fujiwara Meihong is also struggling - should she stop her or should she stand up and feed the "tiger" instead of Huiyin?
After living here for a few months, Lu Yuan gradually understood the customs here and also understood that he had another misunderstanding. Fortunately, Bai Ze Huiyin and Fujiwara Meihong are both simple girls. They did not make a tragedy of grudges, but they were just embarrassed to see him and walked around them all day long.
Lu Yuan felt that this was not a solution at all. It was the so-called "recitation of etiquette". Only when there were coming and going, everyone could get along with equality. One-sided alms could not last long. So he asked Bai Ze Huiyin to enumerate the new tea house he opened. After this, although the relationship could not be offset on both sides, the relationship between the two parties immediately passed the severe winter period and entered spring early.
Fujiwara Meihong has returned to the tradition of often coming here for free. She can eat hot pastries taken from the constant temperature box while complaining that Lu Yuan abused her... Because Lu Yuan, she had eaten cold snacks for three months, and her stomach was not good. Well, a firebird complained about the snacks she stole, which must be a spoiled act.
After the last conversation, Fujiwara Meihong tried to do a lot of things, but in the end she admitted that she really didn't understand... So she went back to the Neko House and became a student for Huine Bai Ze - she was hit by a golden header at least three times a day, and life was worse than death!

"Lu...Boss" looked at Lu Yuan wearing a gorgeous businessman's uniform (actually the style of the robe from the mid-Yuan Yuan Dynasty, which was somewhat similar), and his wooden house was hung with a sign, and the middle-aged man quietly changed his name.
"You are..." Lu Yuan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, a little familiar, but because he was not a beautiful girl, he couldn't remember the name at all. Seeing that his hands were covered with calluses, he was obviously a working person. But he had a red face and gained weight. For the Japanese in this era, this was definitely a sign of the rich.
"I am the head of the village in Baitian Township." When the middle-aged man returned, Lu Yuan's momentum was too strong, and he couldn't help but get half his head short.
Lu Yuan then remembered who this person was. His nephew also brought rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables three days a month. "It turns out that it is the head of the village. If you miss it, please come in and invite me!"
"No, no..." The middle-aged man became more and more irritated. He didn't go in. He stood at his door, quickly told him about his purpose, and then took out some money in awkwardly and prepared to hand it over to Lu Yuan.
It turned out that he was secretly selling imperial rice to Lu Yuan, and his master's family, the Baitian family, found out. Now he was scolded by the master for not only canceling the transaction, but also various punishments were waiting for him.
The Baitian family is considered a wealthy family in the world.
Legend has it that in order to ensure the safety of humans in Fantasy Village, Ali Hatan began to write an encyclopedia book "Fantasy Village Origin" aimed at recording the habits, places, dangers and countermeasures of various monsters in Fantasy Village. Several generations of family leaders have compiled the book "Fantasy Village Origin". Each generation is known as the son of Yu Ali. Now it is the ninth generation, and it is a female head of the family, Aqiu.
Lu Yuan didn't know much about the Hachida family, but first, he liked to eat Ori rice! After eating it for two seasons, he was not used to eating other rice. In addition, our family style saw Youxiang, our Fujiwara girl Hong, and our Bori Lingmeng also liked to eat Ori rice... Who would I go to if you don't sell it?!
Second, the Baitian family? There are some rich people in the world who are so good at it?! In Lu Yuan's eyes, there is no difference between the Baitian family and the farmhouse in front of him.
Of course, this matter requires first courtesy and then military service. Lu Yuan likes to win people with virtue. So after pondering for a moment, he turned around and went back to the house and took out a bamboo jar of green tea. He made a lot of it at the beginning. In this winter, even if a few of him and a few people used it, and if they were sent back to the Dawn, they would have used it less than half of it.
Now that spring is coming, you can harvest the first batch of new tea in two or three months, and the quality is much better than that of today. So even if this batch of "old tea" is sold, it is nothing.
He handed the tea can to the shopkeeper and said lightly: "Don't worry about Yumi. If you take back the money, no matter what, can I lose that amount of money?! But if you want to make a bad thing and make a good thing, you will find a way to give this can of tea to your home. This is a green tea treasure from China. It has a refreshing effect and is of great benefit to those who write books! Is it worth it... We won't mention it. The brewing method is as follows..."
From beginning to end, the village head was firmly pressed by Lu Yuan's momentum, and he didn't dare to refute it for a word, and he really needed to save himself.
In the end, he could only hold the tea pot and leave skeptically - Lu Yuan believed that he would definitely do the job well. He could not continue to be a businessman's supplies in private. If he wanted to protect himself, he had to try any way.
As a result, in less than three days, a little girl from the Baitian family came to ask for tea and raise it. Lu Yuan had expected it. If a farmer could learn it by just verbally conveying it to a farmer, then the elegance of the literati and literati for thousands of years in China would be in vain!
In this way, the affairs of the Baitian family were settled, and the "Jia Wooden House" was officially opened!
****
What Lu Yuan didn't know was that someone patted the table and almost cut off the case!
"A Qiu is a fool! What's the point of writing about that tea house? Why can such things be written into "Fantasy Country Origin"! Do you have to devote your limited life to infinite boredom?! Green tea is good?! People who drink green tea are all green tea bitches! Matcha is the highest!" The voice that was a little tender was furious, accompanied by the crackling sound of smashing things.
"Wenwen is also a fool! You advertise when the rich give money, and you still have no moral integrity! If you have extra pages, it's better to write more valuable gossip... What about your dignity as a newspaper employee!"
It sounds like the owner of this voice is going crazy...
"Also, and there! Huiyin is simply a big beast! Love beast! If you are in heat, go and rub the tree. You have to write randomly in history books for the gods! It's okay if you get donations from Terakoya, you can write something like a title for the tea house. You have the nerve to write it in it, how estrus are you!"
Finally, the voice muttered weakly, "Is that guy too lucky or am I too unfortunate?"
Unfortunately no one can hear it...
In the world of Fantasy Country, if the historical books revised by Shirazawa Huiyin, the "Fantasy Country Origin" compiled by Aki Hinata, and the "Wenwen.News" edited by Shizumimaru Fumi, what wonderful reaction would happen?
These three are the entire power of Fantasy Village to record "existence".
