Chapter 118: Hiding a knife in a smile?

   Chapter 118 Hidden swords in laughter?

   This is still a thinner book. If a thicker book is handwritten, it can be sold for several taels of silver.

  Xue Yan took the five hundred words and put them into his arms.

   These five hundred wen are naturally net income. Because the pen, ink and paper for copying the book were provided by the bookstore, he just took it back and copied it manually.

Seeing that Xue Yan was still planning to receive the pen, ink and paper provided by the bookstore, and apparently planning to copy books to sell, Jiang Yue lowered her voice and said to him, "It's better to stop copying, this stuff hurts the eyes, and the family is not short of money. , we'll get something else and sell it to the shopkeeper Joe if we're short of money."

  Xue Yan looked at her and saw that she really didn't want him to copy it, so he just let it go.

   Indeed, the family is not short of money.

   "Then buy some dirt paper, don't you want to be a fiddler?" Xue Yan said. To make fire folds, you need to use soil paper.

   "Yeah." This Jiang Yue has no opinion. "Buy more, we'll make a few more, and if there's any left, put it there, and we'll make it later."

"it is good."

  The soil paper is rough and not as expensive as other papers. Xue Yan bought a lot of them and put them in the back basket.

   Then, I took Jiang Yue to the nearest medical center and bought some other flammable substances such as sulfur, nitrate, and phosphorus that were needed to make fire zhezi.

  The rich and noble family's huozi will also add rosin and other spices, so that when they burn, they are still very fragrant. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue did not waste the money to buy spices.

   If it weren't for the addition of flammable substances such as sulfur, nitrate, and phosphorus, it would be easy to blow the fire, otherwise it would be very difficult to blow, and they didn't plan to buy these things.

   After buying these things, seeing that the appointment with Uncle Tian was too early, Xue Yan said, "I'll take you to see the fourth brother." She hadn't even seen the fourth brother.

  The third brother is also in the town, but it is too far away. If he is gone, he will definitely not be able to catch up with the ox cart when he comes back.

"Um."

   So, Xue Yan took Jiang Yue to Changfu Restaurant, where his fourth brother Xue Sihu was located.

  The fourth brother is the second child in Changfu Restaurant.

Changfu Restaurant is a bit remote. The business is not as good as Jixiang Restaurant, but it is not too bad. It was just past noon, and the restaurant was no longer busy, and almost no one was there. Dozing on the empty table in the lobby.

   Even the shopkeeper of this restaurant is yawning behind the counter.

Eighteen-year-old Xue Sihu was also lying on an empty table not far from the counter. He was lazy and dressed in the clothes of a second child. He also put a cloth on his shoulders like the other second children, ready to serve the guests at any time. Wipe down the table and allow guests to be seated.

  Xue Yan has been here before. As soon as the shopkeeper saw Xue Yan bringing Jiang Yue in, he knew that he was looking for Xue Sihu, so he ignored him and continued to yawn at the counter, looking sleepy.

   Xue Yan saw at a glance his fourth brother who always brought a three-point smile to everyone he saw.

In his last life, the fourth brother was the most shrewd among his five brothers. His official position was getting bigger and bigger, and his fourth brother was also rising. At that time, everyone said that his fourth brother was a smiling tiger with a knife hidden in his smile, but in his opinion, it was just a kind of The means of foothold and survival, so many people in the family, only his fourth brother, like him, can adapt to the turbulence and intrigue of the imperial capital.

   Later, his fourth brother really became a knife and killed an unknown number of people, but they all wanted to protect him and his family.

His fourth brother was also the last one in his family who died tragically and left him. He was also the worst in the family. On the way of transporting rations to him and the army, he was captured by the enemy army. .
