Shi Feizhe roughly understood that only when the four elements of blood, qi and spirit are perfected can one have that very subjective feeling.
Next, Hua Xiaomei answered other questions for Shi Feizhe, comparable to the most attentive teacher, which moved Shi Feizhe deeply.
Who says the world is full of deceit and deception? 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. Meeting again is fate! If I can help you, I'll help you!" Hua Xiaomei added, "I see that Brother Shi is dressed simply. If you don't mind, I can introduce you to work at Sancai Manor. Although it's hard work, it's a long-term solution!"
It’s better to let the people in Sancai Village keep an eye on the medicinal herbs I grow myself!
"Really?" Shi Feizhe was overjoyed. He really didn't have any means of making a living right 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. I don't think he will lose face for me!" Hua Xiaomei said while waving her fan.
Zhan Ming was the man who called people in to register at the gate of Sancai Manor every day. He was the gatekeeper at Sancai Manor. He had just finished maintaining order and registering people at the gate today, and 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 naturally had to be respectful!
"Greetings, Manager Zhan!" Hua Xiaomei was just like that, always 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 vacancies so he can stay 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 head steward or the owner of the manor. However, he didn't say it directly, fearing that it would hurt Hua Gongzi's face. So he said, "This is easy! But I need to ask the head steward and look at the roster to find out where there are any shortages!"
"Go ahead! Go tell Master Zhan too." Hua Xiaomei nodded and 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 a small matter, no need to make any trouble." 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 house, with all its courtyards square and surrounded by high walls. Three side rooms form a quadrangle, with the exception of the south side, which has no side rooms. The small courtyard is tiled and spacious, while the side rooms all have black tiled eaves and wooden doors and windows, creating a neat and tidy atmosphere.
There was a cluster of green bamboo in the courtyard, with a stone table and four stone benches next to it. 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 of the sales offices in his previous life. He didn't feel 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 had a refreshing aroma and was indeed delicious. The snacks included goose oil rolls, butter puff pastry, seven-color flour cakes, and poria cakes. They were quite exquisitely made, which whetted Shi Feizhe's appetite, even though he skipped dinner every day.
He was not polite either. He had a goose fat roll on the left and a cream puff pastry on the right, and paired them with green tea. In a short while, he finished all the snacks.
Hua Xiaomei watched Shi Feizhe wolf down his food with a smile. Born into the Hua family of the Demon Sect, he had lived a rather restrained life since childhood, but he had always been particular about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The cakes at Sancai Manor were just some commonplace goods in the Jianghu, and they really didn't arouse his desire to try them.
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 medicine he planted. The better Shi Feizhe eats, the better this medicine will grow!
People who have grown crops will also feel a sense of satisfaction when they see the crops in their fields growing 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 and pointed at the goose oil rolls and cream puff pastry 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 returned to the room. After a while, she brought in four plates of cakes.
"Please give me another pot of tea! Thank you very much!" 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 Hua Xiaomei from a distance, saying, "Mr. Hua, I have counted the roster, and the manor still needs quite a few people. I wonder what this young brother is good at?"
He didn't just check the list, he asked the owner for permission. When the owner heard Hua Xiaomei introduce 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 to Shi Feizhe and said.
"Me!" Shi Feizhe swallowed the cake and said, "I'm proficient in arithmetic, so I have no problem calculating and keeping accounts."
These cakes were filled with oil and sugar. In his previous life, as a social animal, he wouldn't even bother looking at them, fearing that they would make him fat. But now, for someone like him who often eats whole grains and still can't feel full, they are a great tonic!
"Arithmetic? Bookkeeping?" Zhan Ming was stunned. He glanced at Shi Feizhe, expressing a bit of 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 give me some questions and test me, and you'll know, right?" Shi Feizhe said as he ate. He had finally figured it out. He had been a social animal for many years, and all he did was brain work. He couldn't do ironwork, chopping wood, or fishing again!
He went to school for more than ten years in his previous life. Was it all in vain?
Before, he was forced to work as a handyman in the clinic just to learn the knowledge of the clinic. Now someone told him that he could start directly as an accountant!
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 the knowledge I learned be in vain?
