Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Previously, Tongfu Inn's business was very mediocre, and the maximum profit per day was only six renminbi. Li Dazui went back as soon as he went back, with little loss. But now there are more than six taels of silver a day, and closing down for one day is a huge loss.

"Going back late won't delay the business." Xiang Nan said, "Shopkeeper, how about this, if I don't go back, there is only one way."

"What way?" Tong Xiangyu asked curiously.

"Bring my mother to live in the town, and I can visit her anytime," Xiang Nan said.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

"Shopkeeper, you're right." Bai Zhantang whispered to Tong Xiangyu.

Dazui's mother now lives in Lijiagou, fifty miles away from Qixia Town, and it takes more than half a day to travel. Therefore, every time Li Dazui asked for leave, he had to ask for three days.

But if Dazui Niang is taken to the town, then Dazui can go home anytime, so naturally there is no need to run back and forth. The rest of the time, you can work in the inn.

Saving six days of vacation in a month can earn an extra thirty or forty taels of silver for the inn, which is a good deal.

"Okay, Dazui, I'll give you a salary increase." Tong Xiangyu thought for a long time, and finally decided, "One tael of silver every month~"

"Rise up again~" Bai Zhantang glared at her.

"Two liang~" Tong Xiangyu said again.

Bai Zhantang rolled his eyes.

"Three taels~" Tong Xiangyu had no choice but to say.

"Okay, shopkeeper, three taels is three taels." Xiang Nan nodded and said, but he didn't really care about money.

Seeing that Xiang Nan's wages had increased by fifteen times, everyone was envious, especially Guo Furong, "The shopkeeper, what about me?"

"What are you doing?" Tong Xiangyu looked at her puzzled and said.

"I also want to raise my wages." Guo Furong said pitifully.

With three taels of silver a month, she can go home in a year and a half. At two denarii a month, she would have to work for twenty years.

"You'd better do your current job well." Tong Xiangyu said angrily, "I broke two more dishes while washing the dishes at noon today. If you don't deduct your money, you can be content."

"Hmph~" Guo Furong pouted angrily when she heard this.

...

Xiang Nan then rented a house for Da Zui Niang in Hexi. A detached courtyard with three north rooms and two wing rooms. The monthly rent is 1.5 cents, which is very good.

Then he bought some belongings and asked his neighbors to bring his old lady to live in the city.

"Son, you're still doing well, and you can bring your mother to live in the city." The big-mouthed lady said with a smile after getting out of the carriage.

Her son had been useless all his life, but he did not expect to make a fortune now.

"Yes, mother, it's all due to the benevolence of our shopkeeper. It's really inconvenient to know that you are alone in the country. So I specially increased my wages and asked me to bring you to live in the city." Xiang Nan laughed.

"Oh, who is the shopkeeper, I have to salute her." The big-mouthed lady said immediately after hearing this.

"Oh, old lady, you don't have to." Tong Xiangyu greeted her with a smile, and suddenly asked Xiang Nandao in surprise, "Why don't your mother's eyes look at people?"

It turned out that she had just discovered that Big Mouth Niang's eyes were not focused, and she was looking away, even though she was standing right in front of her, so it looked weird.

"I went blind more than 20 years ago." Big Mouth Girl explained with a smile.

"Oh, no wonder." Tong Xiangyu nodded upon hearing this.

No wonder Li Dazui had to go home every now and then. It turned out that his mother was not only old but also blind, she should have someone to take care of her.

"Mother, this is our shopkeeper, Tong Xiangyu." Xiang Nan introduced one after another, "The waiter Bai Zhantang, the accountant Lu Qinghou, the handyman Guo Furong, and our shopkeeper's sister-in-law Mo Xiaobei."

"Hello everyone, hello everyone, my son is working here, please take care of me, I am being polite here." Big Mouth Niang saluted.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Tong Xiangyu smiled, "The old lady has worked hard all the way, please sit down and have a cup of tea~"

...

Big Zui Niang sat in the Tongfu Inn for a while, and after getting to know everyone, Xiang Nan took her to her new home.

"Mother, these are the three north rooms. The cups, plates, tables, chairs, benches, and quilts are all new, and my son specially prepared them for you.

You will live here from now on, and I will visit you often. He settled the old lady down and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to do, and I'll make you whatever you want." "

"Okay, son, Mother didn't raise you for nothing." Big Mouth Mother said happily.

"Mother, shall I take you for a walk again?" Xiang Nan said again.

"No need, you are busy with your work, mother can take care of yourself." Big Mouth Mother said with a smile.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back to the store first."

He knew that Li Dazui's mother was the famous finger-broken Xuanyuan, who not only had superb gambling skills, but also had unfathomable martial arts. Although blind, in fact, I don't know how much I understand.

"By the way, son, you've made money now and are promising, when will you marry a wife for your mother?" Big Mouth Mother asked again.

"Mother, I'm working hard." Xiang Nan scratched his head and said, he didn't expect to come to the world of "Wulin Biography" and he was also facing marriage urging.

...

In the next few days, Xiang Nan still ran around in the store and at home.

His cooking skills are getting better and better, and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. People from dozens of miles around come here to eat.

And the relationship between him and the people in the store became more and more harmonious.

Especially with Guo Furong, under his dedicated friendship, his relationship with Guo Furong can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

At night, Guo Furong was practicing Jingtao Palm in the courtyard.

"Miss Guo, are you practicing?" Xiang Nan leaned over and asked with a smile.

"That's right, fists are never out of hand, songs are never out of mouth, we practice martial arts in winter and in summer, so we can't be idle all day." Guo Furong nodded.

"That's really hard work." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Miss Guo, I'm also very interested in martial arts, can you teach me a few simple moves?"

"You?!" Guo Furong was taken aback, then nodded, "Okay. But to be honest, it's too late for you to practice martial arts at this age. Even if you learn, it's hard to achieve great success."

"Yes, I just learned one or two tricks to defend myself." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"That's fine." Guo Furong nodded, "Then I'll teach you a set of seventy-two small grappling hands. After you learn it, you will at least have the ability to protect yourself. Watch it, walk on the bridge, kick your feet and disappear... ..."

Guo Furong then rehearsed the seventy-two small grapplers one by one.

"Come on, try it." She said immediately.

Xiang Nan nodded, and immediately practiced the 72-way small catcher after leaving the field.

He didn't dare to act too well, he only imitated 50% of it.

Because he knew that for a person like Guo Furong who has great eyesight and low abilities, who loves to learn skills and is a good teacher, he will be rejected if he practices too poorly, and even if he practices too well.

Just practice for 40 to 50%, which not only shows your talent, but also has a lot of room for improvement.

Sure enough, Guo Furong was very surprised when she saw it.

It's not easy for Xiang Nan to imitate it after only watching it once.

"Okay, it seems that you still have some talent." Guo Furong said with satisfaction, and then pointed him a few times.
