A chicken in a phoenix nest

. "Feng Er heard Ji Xiaocan's proposal to sell porcelain vases no less than three times. Although he was rejected every time, Ji Xiaocan always found the right time to say it again.

"I have a hunch." Ji Xiaocan rested her chin and paused, "We will definitely make a lot of money buying porcelain vases."

Feng San pointed out without hesitation: "That must be your illusion."

"No." Ji Xiaocan said, "You have to believe that the chicken's intuition is terrible."

"But you are not a chicken now," Feng San reminded, "you are in human form now."

"But I'm still a chicken at heart."

"Okay, now is not the time to worry about whether it's a chicken or not." Feng Yi once again interrupted the topic that was getting more and more biased, "Let's get down to business."

"Aren't you all the princes of the Feng family?" Ji Xiaocan asked, "You should know what to do when you run out of money."

The three phoenixes looked at each other in blank dismay - if they knew what to do when the money was gone, they wouldn't just nest here and want to play mahjong around a table, okay?

Feng Tiantian is very talented, he cultivates quickly, and is good at dealing with all kinds of people, but there is one thing that is not very good - there is a bit of nobility that can only be found in literati, that is, the lamentable "beautiful" that treats money like dung. "quality.This has something to do with the education he received since he was a child.His father raised him as an heir since he was a child, and he gradually gained a wide network of contacts through his constant travels. Among them, there are many excellent businessmen who advise him, and as time goes by, he doesn't bother to care about this aspect of things.However, he is quite reliable. If the money is placed with him, it will not be lost, but it will not increase geometrically.

Not to mention Feng Er - he was born with the appearance of a good son in troubled times. If he loves money too much, it will not only subvert other people's opinions, but also make him feel uncomfortable.

As for Feng San - can you expect a phoenix that can't even take care of the foxtail to be miraculously talented in business?

It's not that Feng Yi didn't think to ask someone for help, it's just... It's really embarrassing that such a thing of losing money happened to him who claims to "never lose anything"—although the culprit is a carefree dressed The guy in the yellow suit.

"Anyway, this doesn't work, that doesn't work. Tell me what to do." It seemed that the proposal was rejected many times and made her feel a little depressed. Ji Xiaocan ran to the bed angrily and lay down.

The table immediately showed a state of three missing one.

"Thump, thump, thump" knocked on the door suddenly.

The old man with candied haws stood at the door like an angel.

"Old man with candied haws!" Feng San almost burst into tears—comrade, you must be a support team sent by the party!

"You children." The old man sighed, "If you really have no choice, help me sell candied haws."

He thought for a while, and added: "And don't call me the old man with candied haws! My surname is Zhang! Call me Senior or Grandpa Zhang!"

Ji Xiaocan immediately called out sweetly: "Grandpa!"

Candied haws... Old man Zhang smiled kindly, and patted Ji Xiaocan's head: "So you are such a good boy."

Feng Er really couldn't pull his face off and call "Grandpa".Fortunately, Feng San opened his mouth, but didn't call.And Feng Yi said kindly: "Senior."

So the last three phoenixes called old man Zhang "senior" and watched him smile at Ji Xiaocan as if he was bringing a grandson.

"Although I don't want to interrupt you, I still need to ask," Feng San asked the most important question, "What is our salary?"

Old man Zhang was trying to abduct innocent child Ji Xiaocan, when he was suddenly interrupted, very unhappy: "Three pennies."

"Only three pennies?" Feng San was somewhat reluctant, "What can three pennies do?"

He pointed to Ji Xiaocan: "Even this guy can't get enough."

"Don't immortals not need to eat?" Old Zhang stroked his beard indifferently.

"How do you know that I'm a fairy?" Ji Xiaocan said in surprise, "Grandpa, you are too powerful! But people shouldn't be able to tell."

"Who says I'm human?"

"Huh?" Feng Yi didn't notice a trace of something extraordinary about him.

"I'm not a human, nor a demon, nor a human demon." Old man Zhang denied their inner guesses, "As for what I am, you will know in the future."

Without giving them time to continue talking, old man Zhang went outside and pushed a cart selling candied haws: "Come here and help me!"

"Oh." Feng San agreed, and went out to help insert the freshly made candied haws into the car.Candied haws are wrapped in a thin layer of paper and made of glutinous rice. They can be eaten or thrown away.

Feng Er and Feng Yi also went outside.Just as Ji Xiaocan was about to keep up with them, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the small porcelain bottle on the table, reached out and put it in his pocket before going out.

Ji Xiaocan put the porcelain vase in front of old man Zhang: "Grandpa, do you know what this is?"

Old man Zhang looked at it for a long time, then nodded: "This blue and white flower is a bit familiar. But I don't know where I saw it."

Hearing this, Feng Yi put down the candied haws and glutinous rice paper in his hands, walked over to hold the porcelain vase, a little excited: "Then do you know what is inside the porcelain vase?"

"I don't know." Old man Zhang stared at it for a while, "Why don't you open it?"

"I can't open it." Feng Er told old man Zhang the specific situation of the porcelain vase.

Old man Zhang was suspicious.He quickly pulled the cork out by himself—it opened.

Old man Zhang glanced inside curiously, and then easily put the cork back on.

Feng San wanted to stop him, but could only watch helplessly as the cork returned to its original position—time was running out.

"Okay." He retreated, "Senior, tell me what's in this bottle."

Old man Zhang suddenly slammed the bottle on the ground.Unexpectedly, the bottle did not bounce, but actually broke.

Ji Xiaocan: "!" How did you do it?

The curling smoke floats slowly from the bottle, with a hint of intoxicating sweetness, but it also makes people's memory a little fuzzy.Suddenly an arrow came straight towards Feng Yi.Ji Xiaocan, who was beside him, didn't have time to think, and directly stood in front of Feng Yi.His eyes are very firm - if you want to come, come to me!

The arrow stopped [-] meters away from him, and turned around abruptly.For some unknown reason, the three phoenixes became extremely slow to react in the smoke, Ji Xiaocan was in front of them, and they didn't stretch out a hand to pull him back.

The arrow didn't know where it went.Ji Xiaocan was still a little worried and asked old man Zhang.Old man Zhang said with a smile that this should be an illusion, and asked Ji Xiaocan to remind Feng Yi and the others.

Old man Zhang whistled, and the smoke quickly disappeared.The Phoenixes also responded.

Feng Yi quickly walked over to Ji Xiaocan: "It's all right."

"It's okay!" Ji Xiaocan said, "This is not a real arrow. Let's see what's inside the porcelain vase!"

His words successfully aroused Feng Yi's interest.He looked down at the debris on the ground - there was nothing there.

It didn't even spit out the silver it ate!

Old man Zhang patted Feng Yi's shoulder reassuringly: "Money is something outside of you."

Feng Yi sighed, and continued: "A penny can't beat a hero."

Journey to the World · Candied Haws

Last time, I mentioned that the unknown old man Zhang successfully broke the porcelain vase. Although he did not recover the lost silver, he managed to get rid of a major disaster.

Ji Xiaocan didn't know what was wrong, looking at the fragments on the ground, a faint sadness surged up.The sadness flooded his heart like a tide - oh, this time, I really can't sell the porcelain vase.

Old man Zhang looked up at the sun in the sky. It was at the time of Shen Shi, which happened to catch up with the last moment of the day when business was better.

So he waved his hand and asked Feng San to push the cart, while he followed slowly.

Feng Yi pulled the sad Ji Xiaocan and walked to Feng San's side.

Ji Xiaocan had packed all the pieces of the porcelain vase into a bag and put them in the house.

The sun was about to set, but there was still an endless stream of people on the street, which seemed more hurried than in the morning, perhaps because they were rushing to their own homes.

Feng San was a little puzzled: "It's so late, everyone else is going home, can someone come to buy it?"

Old man Zhang's eyes fell on a certain place on the street at random, with a calm look, and he couldn't find the look of the previous one who was desperately in debt for a piece of candied haws.

"Don't you know when you wait?"

Old man Zhang looked very confident.Sure enough, after a while, some middle-aged men who seemed to be doing physical labor all year round surrounded him.

Some were very unrestrained, and a little shy said: "Let's have a candied haws."

"Okay!" Old man Zhang quickly handed everyone a candied haws.

After they left, Ji Xiaocan also picked up a piece of candied haws and gnawed on it, talking about the topic: "Those people are so old, why do they still eat candied haws?"

Old man Zhang didn't care that he ate candied haws at will, and replied: "These people are regular customers. They don't eat by themselves. They are middle-aged, and they should all have families. They bought candied haws as gifts for their children."

"I didn't expect that someone would come to buy it." Feng San said with emotion.

Old man Zhang glared at him: "Other hawkers have closed their stalls at this spot, and the price here is cheap. There are no competitors, and the delicious food is affordable, so naturally there will be more buyers."

One after another, some people surrounded him, all middle-aged, and occasionally a few women.

Ji Xiaocan quickly ate one, and when he wanted to get another one, Feng Er asked old man Zhang: "Xiaocan didn't pay for it when he ate it, why didn't you talk about him?"

"I'm too lazy to talk about it." The old man was busy packing candied haws in a cardboard box - a request from a customer.

"Then why did you chase Xiao
