Save where you can and spend where you can

Shen Roujiao was too lazy to think about what was wrong with Master Zhou. As the number one contributor to digging medicinal herbs, it was understandable that he wanted a bicycle.

Since he is the God of Wealth, just think of it as offering tribute and burning incense to the deity.

Zhou Huaiyue, who was acting up, was very difficult to coax. Shen Roujiao had to persuade him to go into the shop to rest. But he was sitting next to the tea table, expressionless, his face was as hard as a brick, hard and cold.

Hu Zi, who was leaning against the doorpost in the backyard, opened a corner of the door curtain, looked at Zhou Huaiyue, the "treasure of the store", and asked secretly: "What happened to your master?"

"He's angry." Shen Roujiao also glanced over.

Good man, that face is so ugly, as if someone owes him two hundred yuan. Emma, ​​it's not me who owes it, "Brother Huzi, I want to ask you something, where can I buy a second-hand bicycle?"

You have to please the master you choose yourself.

Hu Zi turned his head, grinned, and winked at her, "Looking for me! Qi Nanhua can ride a bike, or did I buy it?"

As if she had found a treasure, Shen Roujiao clasped her hands together and raised them between her eyebrows, "Master, if I want it now, can I get it?"

"Of course I can." Hu Zi put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows at her proudly.

While they were busy in the backyard, Boss Chen was secretly conveying positive energy to Zhou Huaiyue, "Master Zhou, that Cistanche deserticola is amazing. It finally makes me feel like I was young again. Three times a night is no big deal..."

"You're willing to hurt yourself." The young man Zhou Huaiyue didn't want to talk to him about this.

"A few times that night wouldn't be considered harmful?" Boss Chen asked the irrelevant question seriously, totally ignoring the fact that Zhou Huaiyue was still single and had no practical experience at all.

The main reason was that he thought Zhou Huaiyue was a miracle doctor. After all, for someone in his twenties to know so much about medicinal herbs, he must come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, every time he settled the bill for selling herbs, no matter how much money he paid, only Master Zhou remained calm and composed, as if he was used to big occasions.

With such ability, I don't understand why he would follow that little girl Shen Roujiao. Could it be that he has fallen in love with her?

"I haven't counted it." What Zhou Huaiyue meant was, how would I know? This thing varies from person to person, there is no definite number.

But when he said it out loud, it completely changed the meaning, as if he was someone with super abilities who could do it seven times a night without counting.

…

"Count what?" Shen Roujiao opened the curtain and came to the front hall. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a pink handkerchief and continued the conversation naturally.

"You are so lucky. Master Zhou is praising you." Boss Chen bumped Zhou Huaiyue's shoulder and asked him to cooperate with the performance.

"Yes, I praise you for digging the door, and I praise you for allowing the donkey to pull the millstone but not the donkey to eat grass." Zhou Huaiyue expressed his opinions in a sarcastic tone.

!

This look, this tone, this expression, it doesn't seem like he likes her, but rather like he's obsessed with her.

"Uncle, you're here." Hu Zi also followed him into the front hall.

Boss Chen, who was watching the show, hadn't come to his senses yet. This master and apprentice relationship is quite interesting. She controls him, he controls her, and they control each other. Haha, it's worth watching.

"Uncle, I'm taking Jiaojiao and Master Zhou to the north of the city to check out the bicycles at Master Zhu's store." Seeing that Boss Chen didn't say anything and his eyes were looking around, Hu Zi walked over and shouted in front of him, "Uncle!"

Boss Chen, who was frightened back to his senses, grabbed the cigarette box on the coffee table and threw it at him, "You little bastard, do you want to get beaten?"

"Hey, let's go!" Hu Zi stuffed the cigarette he received into his trouser pocket and called Shen Roujiao and Zhou Huaiyue to follow him.

…

The three of them walked around the corner. Hu Zi, who was at the front, took out a cigarette box, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took out another one and handed it to Zhou Huaiyue, "Here, try it."

"He won't." Shen Roujiao pushed away the cigarette and looked at Zhou Huaiyue with a smile, "Right, Master!" Those charming little eyes were inexplicably beautiful.

"Yeah." Zhou Huaiyue was quite considerate and didn't argue or reach out to take it.

Hu Zi stuffed the cigarette he had blocked back into the cigarette box, struck a match to light it, and took a deep puff, "Cough, cough, cough."

The snort made him cough violently, and his chest felt like it was on fire. After coughing a few more times, his eyes turned red from the snorts. "What's so good about this thing? It's so choking." Throwing away the cigarette in his hand, Hu Zi raised his foot and extinguished it heavily.

Seeing others smoking, which looked cool and handsome, he secretly tried it a few times but still couldn't learn it.

"If you just want to look cool, don't bite too hard. Inhale it slowly and exhale it when it reaches your lungs." Zhou Huaiyue, who had just said that he didn't know how to smoke, taught Hu Zi the trick of smoking with his experience.

!

Hu Zi glanced at the confused Shen Roujiao, stretched out his hand and half-grabbed Zhou Huaiyue's shoulders, tilted his head and asked: "Didn't you say you couldn't do it?"

"Yeah. Other educated youth have taught me that." He explained casually and walked forward with Hu Zi's arm around his shoulder.

Somehow, Shen Roujiao felt that Zhou Huaiyue was lying!

......

North city repair shop.

Master Zhu pointed at the three bicycles in the yard and said, "One Phoenix, one Forever, and one Assembly bike. The prices are from high to low. Which one do you want?"

"Phoenix!"

"Assemble!"

The master and the disciple spoke at the same time, Shen Roujiao chose the most expensive one and Zhou Huaiyue chose the cheapest one.

Hu Zi did not join in, but just stood aside and watched them with interest. This master and disciple were quite interesting; one was willing to spend money, while the other knew how to save money.

"How about you guys discuss it first?" Master Zhu's eyes moved back and forth between them.

Shen Roujiao patted the seat of the Phoenix car and said, "Master, if we are going to buy a car, let's buy a good one. This Phoenix is ​​90% new and looks better than the one owned by the village chief." Although the price of 160 yuan is not cheap, it is about 100 yuan cheaper than a brand new one, so the cost-effectiveness is still high.

Since you are buying it for the God of Wealth, of course you have to choose the best.

You have to know how to earn and how to spend. Either you don't spend money, or you have to spend it in moderation.

The main point is that you can save when you should and spend when you should, and you can make money and enjoy life at the same time.

"The one in your house is assembled, I want to assemble one too." Zhou Huaiyue pointed at the military vehicle with the Forever logo.

Uh!

I thought he chose that one because it was more cost-effective. After a long time, it turned out that he thought hers was better. The thinking of educated people is really different.

Of these cars, the most cost-effective one is the kit car. The body is Forever brand, the seat and wheels are of other brands, but the price is only half of the Phoenix, 80 yuan. Although it can't be compared with her 20-yuan Phoenix, it is already quite good.

After a long tug of war, Zhou Huaiyue, who believed that money could not buy the master's favor, won. Shen Roujiao took out the only ten yuan in her pocket and planned to reserve the car first, and the remaining money would be taken from the account of today's sale of medicinal materials.

Master Zhu waved his hand and told them to push the car away and that they could pay the remaining 70 yuan today or tomorrow.

When the three of them returned to the south alley entrance, Shen Tiancheng and Shen Rushan had just settled the bill and were walking out with the price list.

"Second brother, Big Brother Wa!" Shen Roujiao went up to him.

"Little sister." Shen Tiancheng's gaze passed Jiaojiao and fell on Zhou Huaiyue behind her, and the smile on his face suddenly faded.

"Zhou Huaiyue, what do you mean?" Shen Rushan was not used to him and had to explain clearly why he acted alone without saying a word, without organization or discipline, and was free and undisciplined.

"It's nothing. Her third brother asked me to ask her, so I came." Zhou Huaiyue acted as if he was right.

Third brother?

Is there something about the third brother involved here?

Shen Roujiao looked at her second brother with two confused minds, her eyes full of puzzled questions.

Shen Tiancheng spread his hands helplessly, pulled his younger sister aside, and whispered, "The third brother who is in charge of accounting disagrees with Zhou Huaiyue's advance of 200 yuan, and said that you must give your approval."

!

Since the third brother Shen Tiannan taught himself accounting, he has been in charge of the family accounts, including the stall accounts and the herbal medicine accounts. The account books are detailed, with clear entries and easy to read. He is a good accountant.

"Why does he insist on buying a bicycle?" Shen Roujiao pointed at Zhou Huaiyue behind her with her eyes.

"He said it's inconvenient to always go to the village chief's house to borrow." Shen Tiancheng tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but Da Wa still heard it.

"What's the inconvenience? It's just a matter of moving your legs. It's just that he has too many things to do." Shen Rushan was dreaming of being able to borrow a bicycle from the village chief's house. Every time he saw Caifeng, he could talk to her and try to get close to her.

"If you want to go, go ahead." Zhou Huaiyue was not willing to be outdone. The person he least wanted to see was Cai Feng.

One man's meat may be another man's poison. What you hate the most may be what others dream of. People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

"I'll go if I want to. But you'd better not go again in the future." They started to argue with each other.

While they were arguing, the second brother handed the price list to the younger sister.

"Why is it just this low?" Shen Roujiao was a little upset when she saw the total was only 500. Last week, the three of them made a thousand dollars in six days, which was considered normal income; this week it was reduced by half, so something must have gone wrong.

"It's your master again. He didn't go for a few days because he was hungry and couldn't move. My eldest brother asked me to deliver skewers to him a few times, but he didn't like it because he didn't put them in lunch boxes." Shen Tiancheng really couldn't understand the fussiness of intellectuals. Isn't it enough to just eat? Why do they have to use lunch boxes? They just waste their time every day and only delay making money.

!

do!

Real work!

Shen Roujiao made a slapping gesture to her second brother, stopping him from saying anything further. She probably didn't have anything nice to say. "Second brother, count out two hundred yuan from today's account and consider it as an advance from my master. Go back and tell my third brother that if Zhou Huaiyue needs money in the future, just give it to him directly without my approval."

"Got it." Shen Tiancheng didn't say anything extra. After all, the matter of the medicinal materials purchasing station would still depend on Zhou Huaiyue. He has real skills, so it's normal for him to have higher demands.

Capable people always have strange tempers.

If you want to use him, you must be patient.

He understood this principle. That was why my younger sister tolerated Zhou Huaiyue again and again and tried her best to meet his every request.

"Master, we still have 120 yuan, what else do you want to buy?" Shen Roujiao deducted the money for the bicycle. With an advance of 200 yuan, he must want to buy a lot of things.

"Buy meat!" We must improve our diet and eat something good. I am exhausted every day, and when I get home, I either eat cakes or noodles, which I cannot eat. Zhou Huaiyue has been thinking about braised chicken since the last time he ate it.

?

?

Shen Rushan and Shen Tiancheng looked at each other with their eyes wide open. It turned out that he didn't want to go up the mountain because he was hungry and wanted to eat meat!

Ouch, that's so annoying.

Don't you have a mouth? You can't just speak directly. As for running to the county to complain, you want to buy a car and meat.

"Buy it, you must buy it!" Master Zhou's small request must be met.

It’s October soon, and 1,000 kilograms of Rehmannia are already beckoning. At this critical moment, we must ensure that Zhou Huaiyue does not fail.
