Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Xiaotao looked at the attribute panel, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. While he still had enough credits, he just used a big move to improve everything that could be improved.

The first is fishing. It takes 100 credits to upgrade from level 2 to level 3, and 200 points to upgrade from level 3 to level 4.

The second is cooking skills, which require 200 points from level two to level three, and 400 points from level three to level four.

Finally, there is carpentry, which costs 100 points to upgrade to level two and 200 points to upgrade to level three.

After doing this, Yang Xiaotao's sub-skills were fully improved after some operations.

There were too many experiences that flooded into my mind at once, and they were too complex, triggering the body's self-protection mechanism.

Later, Yang Xiaotao fainted happily.

In the early morning, Yang Xiaotao felt a little itchy on his face, and then moved his body and reached out to push Xiaowei aside.

Having long been accustomed to this way of getting up, Yang Xiaotao was not annoyed. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiaowei bouncing on the bed like a bouncing bean.

Sitting up and looking at the clothes he was wearing, Yang Xiaotao remembered what happened last night.

"It seems that we still have to proceed step by step."

He laughed at himself while checking the properties panel.

Yang Xiaotao

Age: 20

Credits: 37

Skills: Fitter Level 4.

Fishing skill level 4, cooking skill level 4, carpentry level 2

Exchange column: 5

Pets: Wood Elf, Chinese Pastoral Dog

The original credits of more than 6,000 were returned to before liberation in one night.

However, after seeing the rewards brought by the upgrade, Yang Xiaotao felt that it was worth it.

Level 4 fishing skills provide 10 kilograms of national food stamps every month, 10 yuan, one foot of cloth coupons, and half a kilogram of candy coupons.

Level 4 cooking skills provide 10 pounds of meat coupons, 10 pounds of eggs, 10 pounds of duck eggs, and 10 pounds of goose eggs every month.

Level two carpentry students are provided with 10 kilograms of seasonal vegetables and 10 kilograms of seasonal fruits every month.

These things may not seem like much, only ten pounds, but some things are simply impossible to buy.

Just like duck and goose eggs, most people can't get them.

As for seasonal fruits, I’m even reluctant to buy them.

Soon Yang Xiaotao's bed was filled with things.

The vegetables already include leeks, and ten kilograms of fruit have turned into star fruits, each about the size of a fist.

Next are eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs.

Ten kilograms of each kind seems like a lot, but if you count carefully, there are only more than seventy eggs, about sixty duck eggs, and even fewer goose eggs, only forty.

Of course, this is for each month. According to Yang Xiaotao's living standards, this is quite sufficient.

Put things into spaces and store them in categories.

Get up, scrambled eggs with leeks and start walking.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao came to the workshop and started working as usual, and it was another full day.

When leaving in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao made a special trip to the vegetable market. When he returned to the courtyard, he was carrying a bundle of big bones and followed behind him was a little yellow dog about half a meter long.

These days, things that don’t have much meat don’t cost much. You can buy two big bones for one dollar, and you don’t need a ticket.

This is what Yang Xiaotao bought specially to reward the reward he received today, the Chinese Pastoral Dog.

Commonly known as, native dog.

Now it also has a new name, Wangcai.

Different from ordinary pastoral dogs, Wangcai has a tuft of golden hair on his head and two golden stripes on his eyes, which look like a pair of eyes.

Moreover, Wangcai, like Xiaowei, has skills.

Chinese Pastoral Dog (prosperous of wealth)

growth period

Skill: Tracking and Intimidation

Tracking: Strong sense of smell, can track and disappear

Intimidation: Can make people with evil intentions feel afraid.

Not to mention tracking, it is just more sensitive than ordinary dogs.

But intimidation, this is interesting.

It may seem like an ordinary roar, but to the ears of those with evil intentions, it is synonymous with fear.

"In this courtyard, there is no need to worry about being useless."

Yang Xiaotao was very satisfied with Wangcai's intimidation skills.

Who allowed there to be too many people with evil intentions in this courtyard?

When they came to the front yard, the third uncle who was watering the flowers at the door immediately saw Yang Xiaotao, and then looked at Wangcai who was holding a collar behind him.

"Xiao Tao, where did you get this dog? Are you going to eat dog meat tonight?"

A white light flashed across Yan Fugui's eyes, and he looked at Wangcai with a greedy look on his face.

These days, as long as it’s meat, people will eat it.

What's more, it's still dog meat.

"Xiao Tao, this dog meat is a delicacy."

"We in China have had the habit of eating dog meat since ancient times."

"Then the book says it's true that the dog-slaughterers of old will come back. Yes, what can it be?"

"Anyway, eating dog meat is passed down from our ancestors, how about it?"

"Come to my house today. Your third aunt is an expert at picking up dog meat. We happen to have some wine at home. Let's not get drunk tonight."

The third uncle was talking happily, but he didn't see the sneer on the corner of Yang Xiaotao's mouth.

On the side, Wangcai heard that the guy in front of him was about to eat it. He immediately lowered his body, exposed his fangs, roared, and activated his skills to intimidate.

Yan Fugui, who was waiting for Yang Xiaotao's reply, suddenly felt a chill in his body, and fear arose in his heart. His head could not help but swing from side to side, a low roar came from his ears, and his body immediately fell back uncontrollably.

Oops

With a snap, Yan Fugui's hind legs were caught on the threshold and he fell hard.

The whole person lay there and screamed, not getting up for a while.

The third aunt in the room and Yan Jiecheng ran out quickly and saw Yan Fugui lying on the ground with a pale face. They immediately called out to the old man and panicked.

"No, it's okay."

Yan Fugui tried his best to calm down. Although his face was pale, he could still speak.

Just looking at Wangcai next to Mr. Yang, his pupils were full of fear.

This dog is so evil.

The three aunts also looked over and thought it was Yang Xiaotao's fault.

Yan Jiecheng shouted angrily, "Yang Xiaotao, what are you doing? If something happens to my father, my family will never end with you!"

Roar

Yang Xiaotao said nothing, but Wangcai roared angrily, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Yan Jiecheng was startled by Wangcai. Although he did not use any skills to intimidate him, Wangcai himself was strong and fierce. His eyes were connected with the markings on his head, which made him look scary.

Yan Jiecheng took two steps back because he was afraid of being bitten by the dog.

"You, where did you get this dog from? Hurry up and get rid of it!"

Yang Xiaotao ignored him, looked at the third uncle who was being helped up, and told the concerned people around him.

"Third uncle, this is not for food, this dog is for guarding the door."

"I am alone at home. Normally no one is watching at home when I go to work. If something happens, it will not be good for anyone."

"I happened to meet a local dog at the entrance of the alley, and brought it to guard the courtyard."

"You can always make it clear to the people in the compound that I am a dog that is not to be messed with."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he pulled Wangcai towards the yard. When passing by the third uncle's family, the three of them stepped aside to avoid it.

Halfway through, Yang Xiaotao suddenly stopped again.

"By the way, don't be afraid. The dog is tied up in my yard. It won't come out if it's fine. Just don't worry."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he returned home, while Wangcai lay under the eaves.

After a while, a corn leaf fell on Wangcai's body, and then Wangcai trembled. After a while, he became quiet again, except for a faint sound coming from his throat.

Under its thick hair, Xiaowei lay comfortably, as if lying on a Simmons mattress.

One of the two pets purred and the other roared, not knowing what they were communicating with each other.

Yang Xiaotao had just sat down here, preparing to cook a big meal, when Uncle Chen walked in outside the door.

Uncle Chen was also surprised. Rumors spread in the front yard that Yang Xiaotao had brought back a local dog. The dog was so fierce that it scared the third uncle to the ground.

But he came carefully. The local dog at the door just raised his head, turned over his belly in a humane manner, and continued to lie there.

Is this still a vicious dog?

Uncle Chen didn't know that just now, Xiaowei had an exchange with Wangcai, introducing who on this land has a good relationship with the master, who doesn't deal with the master, and who is the master's enemy.

As a loyal Chinese pastoral dog, Wangcai naturally respects his master in everything. If the master likes him, he will wag his tail and beg for mercy. If the master dislikes him, he will grin.

On this point, Wangcai is clear in his heart.

"Uncle Chen, you came at the right time. I just finished it."

Yang Xiaotao put the big bones into the pot and cooked them. He prepared other meals and put them on the table. He was about to ask Uncle Chen to sit down when he saw that Uncle Chen was very interested in the prosperity at the door.

"Wangcai, come here."

Yang Xiaotao shouted, and Wangcai immediately ran over.

"This is Uncle Chen, please be respectful from now on."

Uncle Chen was curious about Yang Xiaotao's training of the dog, and wondered if the dog could still understand human speech?

As a result, the next second, I saw this native dog walking to the feet, stretching out his head to rub his feet and legs, sticking out his tongue in a flattering manner.

"This dog is so good!"

Uncle Chen was put in a good mood by this operation. He reached out and picked up Wangcai, looked around, and said with a smile.

Yang Xiaotao had already laid out the food, took out the wine glasses, and the two of them filled the wine glasses. Uncle Chen was not polite when he saw this, and sat down to drink.

While the two were drinking, news began to spread about Yang Xiaotao raising a dog in the courtyard.

In the Jia family, Mrs. Jia Zhang threw the nest aside with a sinister look on her face, "This heartless beast still has a dog?"

"With that dog-raising thing, why don't you help the needy people in the asylum? Do you still have love and morality?"

Mrs. Jia and Zhang were displeased and refused to give it to them even if the dog ate it.

My heart ached with anger.

Qin Huairu was washing Banggan's diaper in the yard, her hands were red from the cold and her nose was sore.

Qin Huairu stood up and moved her back, feeling the little life in her belly. Qin Huairu was filled with misery.

At this moment, watching Yang Xiaotao walk by without even looking at him, I felt even more aggrieved.

Yang Xiaotao actually raises a dog? The family's wealth is so rich that even the oldest man in the courtyard doesn't dare to keep a dog.

"Our hospital has never had a dog. This dog guard obviously doesn't trust our hospital and is trying to tamper with the honor of our hospital."

In the room, Jia Dongxu shouted angrily, as if the honor in the yard was important to him.

"Yeah!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang hurriedly catered to her, "Raising a dog will tarnish the honor of the compound. How will the compound select the advanced ones in the future?"

"This dog must be killed."

Jia Zhang said fiercely, and Jia Dongxu nodded immediately.

"Yes, beat him to death and eat meat!"

When Qin Huairu heard that she could eat meat, she touched her bulging belly and nodded quickly.

Ahhhhhh~~~

Maybe the noise in the room was a bit loud, and Bangge started crying again due to the noise.

"Qin Huairu, why don't you come and take a look?"

"I can't sleep well, how can I work?"

Outside the house, Qin Huairu quickly picked up the basin, wiped her hands, and ran into the house to pick up the stick stalks.

Silly Zhu was drinking at Yi Zhonghai's house. The two of them were usually close to each other, and Silly Zhu was good at cooking, so he came to cook and drink when he had nothing to do.

At this time, the aunt said that Yang Xiaotao was raising a dog, and she immediately started shouting.

"Master, what do you think this kid is thinking about?"

"If he doesn't help the people in the yard, how can he still have time to raise a dog?"

Silly Zhu said angrily, and Yi Zhonghai on the side also looked ugly.

Look around the yard. Does anyone have a dog?

Who wouldn’t feel distressed when the food for a dog can equal what a person can eat?

Also, who are you protecting against by raising a dog?

Doesn't this clearly tell others that there is dirt in the courtyard?

Yi Zhonghai became angry and was about to start a crime.

However, Yang Xiaotao's sinister face appeared in his mind, and the anger in his heart was immediately suppressed.

In so many fights, he didn't get any advantage at all, and he was scolded several times, which made him lose face.

Yang Xiaotao brought the dog back so openly. No need to think about it, he must have expected the reaction of the people in the yard.

I will definitely not be pleased if I go this time.

"Forget it, just raise him if he likes!"

"As long as you don't hurt anyone, let him do whatever he wants."

Yi Zhonghai said, his eyes gloomy and his thoughts difficult to guess.

When Si Zhu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then quickly understood the meaning of the first man's words.

"What I said is still right."

"When the time comes, I will cook a dog meat feast for the people in the courtyard."
