Chapter 255 Farming and doing business (6)

Listening to Mingyue's gentle voice, He Caisheng scratched his head, with clear persistence in his eyes, "You can eat it if it's cooked, but you'll be poisoned if it's not cooked."

And these mushrooms were not easy to find. He and Ruyi spent the whole morning searching for only half of the basket.

Mingyue, "..."

It makes sense that the annual mushroom tasting conference held in a certain province is not for nothing.

"It's almost noon, I'll take it to cook."

He Nian didn't dare to try it. Given the medical conditions, poisoning would be fatal. Only after picking out the poisonous fungi could he safely take it to the kitchen.

He Ruyi was young and afraid of strangers, so she followed He Nian to the kitchen.

He Caisheng regretfully buried the discarded mushroom and mourned for three seconds before returning.

"Sister, where do you come from? You are so beautiful."

He Caisheng diligently brought a stool to Mingyue and wiped it with his sleeve before letting Mingyue sit down.

"You're from the capital, do you want to visit later?"

Mingyue held the handle of the feather fan, and the old god described the capital to He Caisheng, "The capital is more grand than here. There are nobles traveling in carriages everywhere, and there is no curfew at night. Candles are hung in every shop, and the streets are red. one slice."

"You have more opportunities when you go to the capital. For example, if you go to work as a servant in an official's house, your salary may be only five hundred silver a month, but if you go to work as a slave in a random family in the capital, you will still get five taels of silver a month."

He Caisheng's eyes sparkled when he heard this. The most money he had ever seen was five taels, which was their family's food expenses for a year!
"Sister, I want to work as a servant in the capital! I am very good at serving others!"

Mingyue knocked He Caisheng's head, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "As a servant, your longest way out is to get into the position of housekeeper. You must know how to use your wisdom to make money, not your strength."

"Wisdom?" He Caisheng looked at Mingyue in confusion.

Mingyue hummed, folded the feather fan in her hand, bent down and wrote the words He Caisheng on the ground, "Do you know me?"

He Caisheng shook his head.

"He Caisheng, this is your name."

He Caisheng pursed his lips and looked at the three words on the ground again. He earnestly imitated Mingyue's behavior just now and began to make gestures on the ground with his fingers.

The handwriting was naturally crooked and it was hard to see what it was. He Caisheng erased it and rewrote it. He didn't stop until he could make out the three characters of He Caisheng, "Sister, is that so?"

"It's not bad." After practicing it only five times, he already has a good look. He has a talent for reading. "In the future, I will teach you how to read and write. What can you give me?"

The young He Caisheng racked his brains and thought, "Well... I can serve you for free."

"make a deal."

The whole family reached a happy consensus. The courtyard was not that big, and He Nian, who was busy working in the kitchen, didn't know that He Caisheng had sold himself.

Originally, he planned to have something casual for lunch, but when people came, He Nian killed a chicken, chopped half of it and braised it, and the remaining half was stewed in soup for dinner.

Then, he put a few more pancakes on the edge of the pot, and the alluring meaty aroma suddenly filled the hut.

He Caisheng swallowed greedily, but now he was more interested in what Mingyue said about reading and writing, so he abruptly stopped going to the kitchen.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast. The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arrayed. Read it once."

He Caisheng was like a student who was suddenly inspected. His brain was short-circuited for an instant, and he stumbled while reading, "The sky and the earth are yellow... What prehistoric times, sun and moon..."
