Chapter 39
"Whether the teacher does not teach the teacher? To put it bluntly, we are just playing lip service. Relatively speaking, people like you, the old man, are more important. You can grow food to feed people, raise an army to resist enemy invasion, and make people happy. The world is peaceful, but it’s the insignificance of us lip-smacking people,” Li Qiu said in a half-joking, half-serious tone.

Obviously, he is a very easy-going person and knows how to take care of people's self-esteem. He can even chat with a muddy person like Yunlin.

It has to be said that this is the true expression of a person's knowledge and self-cultivation.

Li Qiu's words, although Yunlin felt that there was something wrong, but couldn't say it, so he waved his hands cautiously and awkwardly: "It's not as important as you said, we just grow some food..."

Taking advantage of Xiao Er's time weighing 'honey', Li Qiu chatted with Yun Lin, he said: "The old man sits down and talks, talking while eating, the porridge will be cold by the time it's served."

"Okay, okay, okay..." Yunlin said hastily.

This is a scholar, he chatted with him so kindly, and was so polite, enough to brag for a lifetime, so that he was so happy that he said three good words in a row before sitting down.

Li Qiu also sat on the side, with his back straight, his hands on his knees, and asked, "Old man, where do you live?"

"We are from Xiaoxi Village," Yun Lin replied after taking a sip of the porridge. He was afraid that the porridge would delay the conversation and make Li Qiu unhappy, so he simply put down the bowl.

Li Qiu said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about me, you can do whatever you want. Xiaoxi Village, I've heard of it, but I haven't been there. It's tens of miles away. It's hard for you to come to the town, right?"

"It's not hard, it's not hard, I'm used to it," Yun Lin said cheerfully, he really got used to it, so he didn't think it was hard.

A sigh was fleeting in his eyes, and Li Qiu asked with a smile: "Then what do you usually do, old man? How is life at home? Hehe, don't worry, I'm not trying to inquire about your family's privacy, but we are scholars. It must be combined with reality, otherwise it will be just empty talk..."

The silent Yun Jing thought to himself that this is what a real scholar should look like.

At this moment, Yun Jing expressed doubts about the authenticity of the phrase 'a hundred useless is a scholar', if all scholars are like Li Qiu, is it really useless?

It is said that ancient scholars, in addition to reading and literacy, also had to learn such things as riding and archery. What they paid attention to was that they could govern the country with a pen and kill the enemy on horseback!
So where did the phrase 'a scholar who is useless' come from?
After thinking about it, Yun Jing realized that he didn't have such memories in his mind, but such common-sense problems in previous life memories were not suitable for this world, so he stopped thinking about it and drank porridge quietly and listened to Li Qiuhe's words. Yunlin chatting...

After a while, Xiao Lin who went to weigh the 'honey' came back, and respectfully said beside Li Qiu: "Master, those honeys cost two catties and eighty-two five cents after peeling."

Nodding to show that he understood, Li Qiu looked at Yunlin and said, "Old man, do you have any objections to the weight? If not, we will make this deal. If so, we will go to another place to weigh it."

"I trust Mr. Li, so let's do it this way," Yunlin said quickly.

The reason for this is that in fact, Yunlin's estimated weight is similar to these, and then Li Qiu's identity as a scholar occupies most of the weight.

Smiling, Li Qiu said: "According to what I said just now, I will add one tael to this weight, which is two catties and nine taels of money. Let's just round it up and count it as three catties!"

"No, no, no, it's just a matter of two catties, how can I take advantage of Mr. Li, absolutely not!" Yun Lin stubbornly refused.

Seeing that his attitude was so firm, Li Qiu didn't insist, nodded and said, "That's fine, just do as you said, old man, two catties, five cents per catty, how much is the total... Let me figure it out ..."

Frowning slightly, Li Qiu, who was obviously not very good at counting, simply got up and went to the counter to help with counting.

"44 taels and 170 five coppers"

The common sense that one hundred copper coins is equivalent to one tael of silver in this world has long been known by Yun Jing, so he did the calculation in his head when Li Qiu just got up to look for the calculation.

Of course, he didn't tell the result of his mental calculation, so as not to scare people.

Teachers have to use calculation chips to calculate it in the shortest time. Isn't it scary that a two-year-old child can calculate it in the blink of an eye?

But at this moment, Yun Jing was also a little surprised, secretly thinking that not only his memory far surpassed that of his previous life, but also his mental arithmetic is so fast?In my previous life, I had to have such a memory and a keen consciousness, so why mix it like that?
Once again, Yunjing began to examine this question. His memory was far superior to that of his previous life. Could it be related to his reincarnation?
But after thinking about it, he felt that it didn't matter much. After all, after he was born, when he was conscious, he didn't have the memory he has now, and it gradually improved later.

But how did it cause it?

Could it be related to mentality?
"Tell a joke, it's hard to be bored every day, look at the world and nature, appreciate the beautiful side of the world, calm your thoughts, make your family's living conditions better, make your body and mind happy, make your family members smile and feel happy, and you will be able to remember Get better?"

Thinking of this, Yunjing himself felt unreliable, but his subconscious mind told him that it might really be the case!
However, he believed that it was something he was born with and grew up with him, but this reason could not convince himself...

Over there, Li Qiu had been busy for nearly 5 minutes before he could count. He looked at Yunlin and said, "Old man, I've done the calculation. There are 44 taels and 170 five copper coins in total. Do you think it is right?"

It's the same as Yunjing's mental calculation.

"what……?"

Yun Lin was stunned, how could he figure it out? The addition and subtraction of less than [-] was hard-won through decades of life experience, and it took a long time to calculate it in his heart. This suddenly rose to a height of tens of taels of silver. , directly confused him.

Because of his fixed thinking mode, he couldn't react for a while and changed the unit from copper plate to silver tael.

What's more, the huge sum of more than 40 taels of silver almost made him stupid.

Thinking of his old Yun's family, they had never had so much money, God, what a huge sum of money, how to spend it, Yun Lin trembled a little.

Probably seeing Yunlin's embarrassment, Li Qiu came to him with a counting chip and showed him the exact calculations.

Then Yun Lin nodded half-understood and said, "Yes, that's all."

In fact, he didn't understand at all...

Yun Jing felt melancholy, he couldn't count, if he hadn't met Li Qiu, an honest man, Yun Lin would be half happy.

After the accounts were settled, it was obvious that there was not that much money in the restaurant, so Li Qiu asked Xiao Er named Xiao Lin to go back to his house to get the money, and gave him a note as proof.

One or two 10 minutes, Xiao Lin took the money back, and put it in a cloth bag, which was heavy.

Li Qiu took the money to Yunlin, opened the cloth bag and said, "Old man, can you count enough, and then the bag is also given to you. This is not a small amount of money for you. Be careful. I put some money in the bag." Chaff, lest the money dangle in it and make a noise, and others will covet it"

It has to be said that Li Qiu is really thoughtful, even thinking about safety.

After counting the money clearly, Yun Lin, who was still dizzy, nodded and said, "That's right, that's all."

As he said that, he put the money bag in his arms, he was very enlightened, but he was still worried, seeing Yun Jing who was full of food and drink, he simply put the money bag in Yun Jing's arms, and hugged him in his arms.

I'm not afraid that Yunjing will panic...

Li Qiu understood Yunlin's behavior after getting the 'big money', and stood up and said, "Old man, I will take the honey after the money is cleared, and then I won't greet you, mainly because I am a junior. Mouth, I have to take it back and give them a taste."

"Okay, Mr. Li, go and do your work," Yunlin subconsciously nodded.

Li Qiu went to the back of the restaurant with a smile, and his eyes signaled Xiao Lin to follow.

After leaving Yunjing and the others, Li Qiu asked, "Did you give them an extra tael of honey skin in it?"

"Boss, I did as I did, and I counted one or two extra in the two catties," Xiao Lin quickly replied.

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Qiu said: "Well done, I expected that old man would not want to take advantage of me, so I ordered you. Sure enough, it's not easy for country people. This is not a charity for no reason. A skin or two is a matter of course”

"The owner is benevolent and righteous," Xiao Lin said in admiration.

Shaking his head, Li Qiu said: "Benevolence and righteousness are far from enough. If you understand more principles and see more sufferings, you won't see honest people suffer. Oh... by the way, I warn you, the old man has only us how much money he has. Few of you know, if something happens to them because of your 'deliberate slip-up', don't blame me for picking your skin off!"

With his heart trembling, Xiao Lin hurriedly said: "Boss, how dare I, I will only remember your teachings in my heart."

"That's good, let's go out, the grandpa and grandson are probably gone too..."

With that said, Li Qiu took the bamboo tube containing maltose and went outside.

Sure enough, Yunlin and his grandson had already left, but Li Qiu was stunned when he saw the table they were sitting on, because there were six copper coins on it.

Earlier he said that the two bowls of porridge were free, and were worth exactly six copper coins.

Preciously holding the six copper coins in his hands, Li Qiu muttered to himself: "How can such a simple and kind person not live a good life?"

What he said was not just referring to the Yunlin family...

When Li Qiu and the others carried Yunlin's father and grandson on their backs, Yunlin took Yunjing away, but before leaving, Yunlin put six copper coins on the table.

Yun Jing didn't say anything at that time, but looked at his grandfather curiously.

At that time, Yunlin touched Yunjing's head and said, "Xiaojing, you must know that it is benevolent and righteous for people to invite us to eat two bowls of porridge, but it is our duty to pay. This person, unless it is a last resort, we should try our best to keep it as little as possible." Taking advantage of others, no matter whether you admit it or not, taking advantage of others is a debt to them, even if others don’t care, we should just be ourselves, at least feel at ease, grandpa won’t talk about the truth, but I think I can feel at ease in this way , Hehe, you are still young, you will gradually understand..."
