Chapter 14: Righteous People
Shi Feizhe roughly understood that only when the four elements of blood, qi and spirit are perfected can one have that very subjective , Hua Xiaomei answered other questions for Shi Feizhe, comparable to the most attentive teacher, which moved Shi Feizhe deeply.
Who says that the world is full of intrigues and deceptions? There are still righteous people like Hua Xiaomei.
"Thank you, Brother Hua! When Shi Feizhe achieves something in the future, I will definitely repay Brother Hua for his guidance!" Shi Feizhe bowed to Hua Xiaomei very solemnly and said.
At this time, Hua Xiaomei remembered that this little brother's surname was Shi.
"You're welcome. In the martial arts world, we all meet by chance. It's fate that we can meet again! If I can help you, I'll help you!" Hua Xiaomei added, "I see that Brother Shi is dressed in plain clothes. If you don't mind, I can introduce you to work at Sancai Manor. Although it's hard work, it's a long-term plan!"
It’s better to let the people in Sancai Village keep an eye on the medicinal herbs that I grow myself!
"Really?" Shi Feizhe was overjoyed. He really didn't have any means of making a living now. He was really sleepy. He handed over the pillow and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Hua!"
"It's just a small favor, no need to be so polite! I'll take you to Sancai Manor first and tell Zhan Ming about it. I think he won't lose my face!" Hua Xiaomei said while shaking her fan.
Zhan Ming was the man who called people to register at the gate of Sancai Manor every day. He was the gatekeeper of Sancai Manor. Today, he had just maintained order at the gate and registered. When he turned back to Dongzhuang, he saw Hua Xiaomei and someone walking towards him.
"Greetings, Mr. Hua!" He bowed respectfully to Hua Xiaomei. As the steward of Sancai Manor, he knew that even the owner of the manor was quite polite to Hua Xiaomei, so as a servant, he was naturally respectful!
"Greetings, Manager Zhan!" Hua Xiaomei was just like that, very polite to everyone. He returned the greeting to Zhan Ming and said, "This is a young man I met on the road. I wonder if your manor has any vacant jobs so that he can stay in the manor and make a living."
Zhan Ming was also a shrewd man. He knew that he couldn't make the decision on this matter and needed the approval of the chief steward or the owner of the manor. However, he didn't say it directly, fearing that he would hurt Mr. Hua's face, so he said, "This is easy! But I need to ask the chief steward and look at the roster to know where there is a shortage of people!"
"Go ahead! Go and tell Master Zhan too." Hua Xiaomei nodded and said, then turned to Shi Feizhe and said, "Little brother, let's go in first and have some refreshments."
"This... won't be too much trouble for you, Brother Hua, right?" Shi Feizhe said, looking at Zhan Ming's tall figure.
"It's just a small matter, why bother?" Hua Xiaomei opened her fan with a "whoosh" and led Shi Feizhe through several doors and into a side courtyard.
Sancai Manor is a typical northern courtyard style, all the courtyards are square, with high walls and large courtyards. Three side rooms in the courtyard form a quadrangle courtyard, but there is no side room on the south side. The small courtyard is tiled, quite clean and spacious, and the side rooms are all black tile ridge eaves, plus wooden doors and windows, quite neat.
There was a cluster of green bamboos in the courtyard, and next to it was a stone table and four stone benches. Hua Xiaomei sat at the stone table and said to Shi Feizhe, "Sit down, you're welcome."
Shi Feizhe looked around and thought it was just average, not as luxurious as some sales offices in his previous life. He was not shy and sat down at the stone table.
He had just sat down on the stone chair when two girls in green, about fourteen or fifteen years old, came from the side room in the courtyard and brought him a pot of hot tea and four plates of snacks.
The tea was green tea, which was refreshing and delicious. The snacks were goose oil rolls, butter rolls, seven-color flour cakes, and tuckahoe cakes, which were quite delicate and whetted Shi Feizhe's appetite, who skipped dinner every day.
He was not polite, with a goose fat roll on the left and a butter roll on the right, and paired with green tea, he finished all the snacks in a short while. Hua Xiaomei smiled as she watched Shi Feizhe wolfing down his food. He was born in the Hua family of the Demon Sect, and although he had a rather restrained life since childhood, he was very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. The cakes in Sancai Manor were just some common goods in the martial arts world, and they really did not arouse his desire to taste.
But when he sees things he doesn't care about, such as women, food, and martial arts techniques, being treated as treasures or valued by others, he feels a strange sense of satisfaction and is very happy.
What's more, Shi Feizhe is the one who planted the medicine. The better Shi Feizhe eats, the better the medicine will grow!
People who have grown crops will also feel a sense of satisfaction when they see the crops in their fields grow well.
Now these two kinds of satisfaction overlapped, making Hua Xiaomei feel very comfortable. She looked at Shi Feizhe who was wolfing down his food and said, "Eat slowly, there's more!"
"Then give me another serving of these two!" Shi Feizhe knew that Hua Xiaomei didn't care about these snacks at all, so he didn't hesitate to point at the loose goose oil rolls and cream loose rolls and said.
Hua Xiaomei clapped her hands gently, and the girl in green came out from the side room, came to Hua Xiaomei and bowed.
"Give me two of each!" Hua Xiaomei pointed to the two empty plates.
The girl in green bowed again and went back to the room. After a while, she brought in four plates of cakes.
"Please give me another pot of tea! Thank you!" Shi Feizhe said to the girl in green.
The girl in green glanced at Hua Xiaomei, and seeing that Hua Xiaomei didn't say anything, she nodded slightly to Shi Feizhe.
After the tea arrived, Zhan Ming also came from the gate of the small courtyard and saluted to Hua Xiaomei from a distance, saying: "Mr. Hua, I have counted the roster, and there are still many people needed in the manor. I wonder what this little brother is good at?"
He didn't just check the list, he asked the owner for permission. When the owner heard that Hua Xiaomei introduced someone, he told Zhan Ming that Mr. Hua's request must be met!
Zhan Ming, the servant, immediately understood that Hua Xiaomei was a real distinguished guest, the kind that even the owner of the manor dared not offend!
"That's true. I wonder what you are good at, little brother?" Hua Xiaomei turned and said to Shi Feizhe.
"Me!" Shi Feizhe swallowed the cake and said, "I am proficient in arithmetic, so I have no problem with accounting and keeping accounts."
These cakes are full of oil and sugar. In his previous life, he, a social animal, would not even bother to look at them, fearing that he would gain weight. But now, for someone like him who often eats grains and still can't feel full, they are a great tonic!
"Arithmetic? Accounting?" Zhan Ming was stunned. He glanced at Shi Feizhe, expressing some doubt.
There are many people who know martial arts these days, but not many who know arithmetic!
"Indeed! Why don't you find someone to set questions and test me, then you will know, right?" Shi Feizhe said as he ate. He had figured it out. He had been a social animal for many years, and he had only done brain work. If he was asked to forge iron, chop wood, or fish, he couldn't do it!
He went to school for more than ten years in his previous life. Was it all in vain?
Before, he was working in the clinic only to learn the knowledge of the clinic, so he had to work as a handyman. Now someone introduced him to the idea that he could start directly as an accountant in the bookkeeping office!
If you can do mental work, who the hell would be willing to do physical work!
If I go to another world and just do manual labor, then wouldn't all the knowledge I learned be in vain?
