In the end, Wang Li accepted the five taels of silver at Zhou Zekai's request, thinking that he would treat the child better. He worked as a long-term worker at the farmer's house, and only five taels of silver a year. Therefore, Wang Li decided to teach this child to live an ordinary life in the days to come.
Wang Li's wife even prepared sumptuous meals for Zhou Zekai. After learning that Zhou Zekai was going to stay, she immediately cleaned up the empty room in her house. It was the room that Wang Li's parents lived in before, but his parents passed away three years ago. , now the house is empty, after careful cleaning, Zhou Zekai can be regarded as a home in Wang's house.
Although Wang Li's wife was worried about Wang Li taking the money, but seeing that her husband had a plan in mind, she didn't say anything more.
And here, lying on the bed, snowflakes outside, the quilt in the room is very thick, Zhou Zekai still couldn't help but bought himself a set of fleece thermal underwear on Taobao, after putting it on, he immediately felt warm all over Waking up, it's like being alive again.
Lying warmly under the blanket, Zhou Zekai looked at his Taobao account, his name was Zhou Zekai, and his money was displayed on it.
Earlier, Zhou Zekai spent 18 yuan to buy a pocket watch, which deducted 18 yuan from the account with 1,000 yuan left. But after recharging the gold, Zhou Zekai re-checked the account and found that It turned out to be more than 80,000...
Some couldn't figure out the calculation method of Taobao, and then Zhou Zekai suddenly remembered. After searching the price of gold, he now understood the situation of his account. One tael of silver is fifty grams, and ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold. Fifteen taels of gold are more than one thousand grams, so my forty thousand yuan... is actually quite small!
But even though he didn't understand the exchange situation, he didn't panic when he had money. Zhou Zekai felt a little strange when he looked at his own Taobao and thought of the world he was in now.
Because today’s world is chaotic, the old dynasty is still struggling, and a new government is also being established. Moreover, this year has encountered a disaster year, and many people outside have been displaced. It’s hard to tell whether it’s a new era or an old one. It's time.
It can only be said that between the two, everything in the old dynasty is still in use, but a new order is gradually being established.
Such a chaotic scene, in Zhou Zekai's opinion, is very beneficial to him. After all, it is relatively easy for him to make money or start a career in this troubled world. If he wants to recruit people... it will probably be a little troublesome, but When someone has money, there will naturally be no shortage of these.
Thinking about this, Zhou Zekai started to browse Taobao. If he wanted to make money now, he should buy some Western gadgets at random, because when the old and the new are changing, especially those Western gadgets are very valuable, such as pocket watches, watches, and glasses. , binoculars, jewelry and clothing for women are also sold...
Most importantly, how to make money!
While searching for the things in his Taobao, and planning his future affairs, Zhou Zekai discovered that his Taobao was quite useful, and the things in it were very cheap, such as... mirrors! Now that kind of diorama is popular, there are a lot of beautiful dioramas on Taobao, and they are very cheap, if you buy a very delicate one, it only costs more than a hundred yuan, for Zhou Zekai, it is completely stress-free.
In addition to dioramas, there are also those so-called crystal necklaces and jewelry necklaces on Taobao. I believe many people will be interested. If you sell these cheap things, you can definitely get a good price.
Thinking of making money quickly and finding a family with his body in a few years, Zhou Zekai felt very relieved. After all, no matter what the situation is, as long as a person is rich, there is no need to panic at all.
The next morning, Zhou Zekai got up early to have dinner with the Wang family. By the way, he met the son of the Wang family, Wang Baobao, who is six years old this year. Regarding this name, Zhou Zekai said that Wang Baobao would break down when he grows up, but looking at it now Cute baby Wang, he is still in a good mood.
After dinner, Wang Li's wife went to buy cloth for Zhou Zekai to make clothes. Wang Li was doing carpentry, planning to make more chairs and the like. In the heavy snow, it was almost impossible to see the way ahead, so I knew that after one night, I am afraid that many people died outside.
But in such an era, human life is the least valuable.
Somewhat boredly, Zhou Zekai took the wooden stick on the ground, squatted there, and wrote slowly. To be precise, he planned to calculate his next plan.
"Brother Ah Kai, what are you doing?"
Wang Baobao came over and asked curiously, Zhou Zekai raised his head to look at the little doll, and said with a smile.
"I'm writing."
Wang Baobao didn't know much about this, but Wang Li, who was on the side, heard that Zhou Zekai could write, and he was sure that Zhou Zekai was the young master of a wealthy family, and his family was in decline, so he thought that he must treat this young master well. .
"What are you writing for?"
Children are always full of curiosity, but Zhou Zekai doesn't hate children, it is because of these children that the development of society will be brighter, so he pulled Baobao Wang, took the wooden stick and wrote on the ground Baby Wang's name.
"Look, this is the king, and this is the baby, and together they are the baby Wang, your name."
Baobao Wang's eyes widened curiously, looking at the writing on the snow, he felt that it was miraculous, imitating Zhou Zekai's way of chanting his own name.
"Wang~bao~bao~"
Zhou Zekai couldn't help laughing at such a cute appearance, so he hugged Baobao Wang and began to teach him how to write. Unexpectedly, this child is quite smart, and he learned the three characters of Baobao Wang in a short while, which made Wang Li, who was peeking from the side, happy of.
Although he is a long-term worker for the dealer, but in this world, how can children have a teacher to learn to read? Now seeing Zhou Zekai teaching his son to read, I feel very happy in my heart, looking at his appearance is very happy.
After Wang Baobao learned it, he hurriedly showed off to Wang Li, so that Wang Li, the father, hugged his son happily and kissed him a few times, and then he felt a little embarrassed.
"Akai, I didn't expect you to be literate. The baby is still young. If you think he's annoying, just ignore him and let him play by himself."
If it was someone else's family, I am afraid that the six-year-old child would already know how to help the family members with work, but the baby Wang in the Wang family is very doting, and the husband and wife work hard, so they did not let the baby suffer. Looking at Zhou Zekai, he was actually very happy. It is already very good for his son to know his name.
Zhou Zekai saw Wang Li's excitement, and felt that he was bored recently anyway, so he opened his mouth and said.
"Brother Wang, the baby is very cute, and besides, he is very smart. Since I have already lived here with Brother Wang, I'm fine on weekdays anyway. It's snowing these days, so I just took advantage of the snow to teach the baby a few words. It’s ok, but I’m afraid the baby will be cold…”
After all, children can't stay in the snow for a long time. Zhou Zekai wore thermal underwear, but the baby didn't.
"It's okay, Akai, the baby is very energetic and won't be cold. If it gets cold, you can go back to the house, where there is hot water. If you can teach the baby how to read, I, I will go buy some books..."
Now this book is also very expensive, but Wang Li is still very excited when he thinks that his son can read and write.
But his behavior was stopped by Zhou Zekai. After all, children are still young and don't need books or anything like that. The things in his mind are enough to teach this child, but it's too cold in the snow, why not be a Things like sand tables can also be studied well.
As soon as the words came out, Wang Li even said that he would do it immediately. After listening to Zhou Zekai's instructions on how to do it, he started construction immediately. As for the sand, there is a little bit by the pier. It is snowing now, and it's time to dig. Come back soon.
In short, Wang Li is very grateful to Zhou Zekai.
When Wang Li's wife came back and knew that her son could write ten characters, she shed tears of excitement, and hurriedly cooked a good meal for Zhou Zekai. In the afternoon, she helped Zhou Zekai measure his body and started making clothes , I am really grateful to this young master.
She doesn't wink, she only knows how to make clothes, cook and take care of the children, not as good as her husband who is well-informed with those wealthy people, but just because Zhou Zekai can write, she is very sure that the other party is definitely the young master of the rich family! These days, the poor have no money to practice calligraphy at all.
It doesn't matter how long it takes for her son to be taught how to read, as long as she learns some, it will be enough to make her happy. Now she just feels that she is lucky to have met this young master.
Seeing that the husband and wife were more enthusiastic towards him, Zhou Zekai was helpless, he wanted to explain, but the husband and wife were so passionate that they could only bear it in the end, but practicing calligraphy for the baby made Zhou Zekai discover the chilblains on his hands, So I bought chilblain plaster with good reviews on Taobao. After using it, it really got better...
Of course, in addition to these, Zhou Zekai also took out the "Longevity Art" given to him by the Immortal Qingxiao before, and practiced it. This body is still young, and it is the best thing to practice now. After a night of practice, it really is. The next day, Zhou Zekai's body was warm. With his previous experience, Zhou Zekai knew that in such an apocalyptic world, apart from money, it is more important to strengthen himself, so that he can survive in such a troubled world. survived.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Zhou Zekai taught Baby Wang to read and write every day during the day, and began to practice the formula of longevity at night. The Wang family and his wife were very grateful to him. amazing thing...
