After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

The Taoist priest doted on him and said with a big smile, "When I recover my power, I will catch it for you!"

"Yeah!" The man in the bamboo hat smiled sweetly.

The two men only planned to stay temporarily, so they did not move anything in the house. They only unloaded some of the goods on the donkey cart. When they opened the cart, they found that they were all quilts.

The soft and fluffy, snow-white outer lining is not only comfortable to look at, but also feels more comfortable to touch.

The two men took out two beds each, using one as a mattress and the other as a cover for themselves.

It was still very cold in the mountains in early spring at night. The two of them just poked their heads out from under the quilt, closed their eyes, and looked very peaceful.

The man in the bamboo hat suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Taoist priest, "Second brother, do you think that eldest brother is really in the capital?"

The Taoist priest opened his eyes upon hearing the voice. There was a solemn look on his handsome face. After a long pause, he replied, "Yes, I calculated. Big Brother is in this position."

The man in the bamboo hat pondered for a moment, then asked, "What if we get lost with our eldest brother? What if he is not in the capital now? Second brother, how about you do the math again?"

Seeing that his younger brother did not believe him, the Taoist priest was a little annoyed, but he was no longer the same person as before. He was no longer the person who took pleasure in taking revenge. Now he had to depend on his fourth brother. With him around, they would never starve to death.

The Taoist priest stretched out a hand from under the quilt, closed his eyes, pinched his fingertips, and moved his lips. After a while, he suddenly widened his eyes with a look of surprise.

The man in the bamboo hat stood up and asked, "Second brother, are you done yet?"

The Taoist's breathing was disordered, his throat was rolling, and he dared not speak.

The man in the bamboo hat didn't get a response for a long time, and his heart sank to the bottom. He said in panic, "Second brother, could it be that the eldest brother is really gone?"

Wouldn't they be leaving again?

He didn't want to leave. The capital was fun and he hadn't had enough of it!

However, the next second, the Taoist priest's voice was heard, "No, my brother is in the capital."

"Really?"

The Taoist priest hummed.

The man in the bamboo hat breathed a sigh of relief, lay down again, and murmured softly, "That's good..."

The Taoist's heart was pounding. He thought that if he made a mistake again, his fourth brother would no longer believe him, and his prestige as an older brother would be greatly reduced.

He was puzzled. A few days ago, he calculated that his elder brother was still in the capital, so how could he just calculate that he was in Jinzhou?

No, brother, why is a bald monk who is weak and can't even tie a chicken running around?

He is not like him. He is born with a love of learning and does not rely on his past knowledge. He has acquired a lot of skills.

People like him, knowing that he would not die, were willing to learn and endure hardships for a living. They did everything. They had been a thug, a maid, a famous actor, a clapper, and a crosstalk artist. They could do all the 360 ​​professions!

The fourth brother is not bad either. Although he doesn’t have any special skills, he has innate advantages. No one can starve to death, but he can!

What he was most worried about were his eldest brother and third younger brother. They were lazy and didn't know how to grow crops. How would they survive without their magic powers? Could it be that they were not beaten to death by their junior sister but starved to death?

The Taoist thought that it was a good thing that his third brother was still in the capital. He would find his third brother first and then go find his eldest brother!

But he didn't plan to tell his fourth brother anymore, otherwise if he couldn't find his third brother, he would make a fuss again.

As the night grew longer, the man in the bamboo hat mumbled, "Brother, I want to eat roast chicken tomorrow after I sell the goods..." Then he fell asleep with even breathing.

The Taoist nodded and fell asleep.

The next morning, the Taoist priest felt his nose itchy in a daze. He rubbed it with his hand, but couldn't help it. He sneezed and woke himself up.

He then opened his eyes and looked for the man in the bamboo hat, and the next second, his brows were furrowed.

The man in the bamboo hat had already gotten up. The place where he had been lying was covered with a layer of white fluff. The Taoist priest quickly covered his nose, then got up and went to find the man in the bamboo hat.

In the deep mountains in the early morning, there was a hint of fog and a layer of dew floating on the ground.

The empty yard was now covered with a bamboo mat, and on the bamboo mat was a piece of white cotton cloth. The man in the bamboo hat was half-crouching on it with his naked body, and he raised his hands to grab himself from time to time.

Its originally bald body grew a layer of white fluff after one night, and it became fluffy all over. After it was scratched, the hair grew again, and the air was filled with the shed fluff, dancing in the air.

The man in the bamboo hat spread the wool on the white cloth, and had already spread most of it...

Hearing the sound, the man in the bamboo hat looked towards the Taoist priest. His originally bald head had now turned into a huge, fluffy dandelion. As his head turned, some of the fluff was thrown out and floated into the air. The sky above the yard was already filled white with the fluff.

The man in the bamboo hat smiled sweetly and said, "Second brother, are you awake? Wait for me a little longer, the quilt will be ready!"

The Taoist priest pressed down the corners of his lips and said in a hoarse voice after a while, "Fourth brother, you are very capable. I will buy you a big chicken drumstick after I sell the quilt!"

"Great!" The man in the bamboo hat was excited when he heard that, and the hair on his body shook out again. The Taoist pinched his nose when he saw this.

It's so itchy, just looking at it makes me itchy...

There were too many fluffs and the man in the bamboo hat couldn't finish it all by himself. The Taoist priest covered his nose with a cloth strip and joined the ranks of making the quilt.

The two men worked on an empty stomach for the whole morning, and finally they plucked all the hair off the man in the straw hat. When he was completely bald, he felt a little cold all of a sudden. He hugged himself, shivered a bit, then put on his clothes and put on the straw hat.

The two of them had a clear division of labor. The Taoist tied the newly made quilt to the donkey cart. Looking at the "goods" that had grown three feet taller, the Taoist silently chanted a "prayer spell", praying that all the quilts could be sold today, otherwise new ones would have to come...

The two men drove the donkey cart to the city.

They asked for one or two taels of silver for a quilt. For common people, a quilt made of wool was not as comfortable as a cotton one and was not worth the price. For the rich people in the city, although a wool quilt was not as good as a plush one, they wanted to have a new feel.

Past experience tells them that products sell well in cities.

The two of them found a vacant space in a corner and set up their stall. The Taoist priest also set up another stall on the side, which said [Fortune-telling, Feng Shui, Exorcising Demons and Evil Spirits], and attached a sign saying that if you bought three quilts, you would get one fortune-telling for free.

There really was no one in the capital who bought a quilt with wool. Soon, the two brothers were surrounded by people, and one of the people asked, "What kind of wool is stuffed in the quilt?"

The man in the bamboo hat told the truth, "Dandelion."

"Dandelion??"

Everyone thought of pig hair, cow hair, and even mouse hair, but they didn't expect it to be dandelion.

It turned out to be a dandelion!

“Aren’t dandelions good for making tea?”

"Dandelions can be used to make quilts? That's new..."

"Let me feel it, it's quite soft. It's not expensive at one tael of silver. OK, give me a bed, and I'll go back and try it!"

A bystander paid some money, and the man in the bamboo hat took it and handed the wrapped blanket to the buyer. Then he said in pure Tangshan dialect, "Go back and cover yourself with it. It will keep you warm!"

Others thought it was new and also paid for one, but no matter how new it was, the weather was getting warmer and who would want to buy a new quilt? So they only sold five quilts in the afternoon, and there were still many left on the donkey cart.

The man in the bamboo hat was chewing on a pancake, and he looked back, looking listless, with his shoulders drooping, muttering, "I can't eat the roasted chicken legs anymore... wuwu..."
