Chapter 139: Cloud Shadow in October 1998
Cloud Shadow in October 1998
The days in Agamat this month were more painful, no, it should be said that it was very painful.
Something went wrong at my gentle junior literature and history teacher's house, and I took leave for a stern, mean, thin old man.
This guy is as thin as a skeleton, his fish-skin robe is always tightly draped to outline his thin waist, his big bald head is buckled with a silver headband inlaid with emeralds, and his eyes are squinting with malicious intent.
He must be a racist, only Saigao from Cylencia, I am a despicable foreigner in his eyes, nose is not nose, eyes are not eyes, he criticized me for my painstakingly written homework, and he called me ugly and poor grammar. , but also rose to the point of personal attack, calling me stupid and lazy without the slightest aristocratic temperament.
Master Kain is used to being spoiled, when has he been so angry? After class, I rolled up my sleeves and wanted to fight the old guy, but looking up and down and bullying the old man didn't show my bravery, so let's be patient.
The after-school homework assigned by the old man was much more difficult than the previous teacher. I was in a lot of pain at home, and the improvement was indeed obvious, so even if the old man was mean, I didn't show any disrespect.
Respect teachers! The traditional virtues of our Chinese nation do not have the same knowledge as you, an old-fashioned old-fashioned person wearing a headband.
The literature class is tragic, and the war dance that starts this month is equally terrible.
Can you imagine my silly big guy dancing? Wearing revealing clothes, holding Fayu and a cloth strip, twisting around in various ecstasy poses...kill me!
"You're in the wrong position!" The female teacher slapped me on the back with a stick: "Put your chest up and hold the jade ribbon on your left shoulder, and bend your knees
to the beat of the drum..." "Dong~dong~dong~!" Squatting half-squatting in the same place.
"Your expression is wrong! You are a dancer, how can you let the soldiers see your expression? This is an uncivilized behavior. If you make a mistake, you will be fined twenty times for this action!"
"You kill me!" I do not want to live!
Crying and crying is useless. As long as I still miss reading, I still have to go home and practice. I recorded the drum beats and danced at home. Resisting the urge to roar, I practiced at the back of the house again and again. Ah Fu, Ana and Ah Wang is my loyal audience.
My parents were watching me dancing and dancing from the window in the kitchen with relish. Wang Jierui even shouted to cheer for Dad, so embarrassed that I really wanted to punch a hole in it.
During the meal, my mother told me that my dance looked similar to rhythmic gymnastics. I could consider that I would invite a rhythmic gymnastics teacher to practice in the opposite world. With a two-pronged approach, the progress must be fast.
I don't know much about rhythmic gymnastics, but I think dance should have something in common, and trying to find a teacher to practice should also be beneficial.
Glass, uh no, Agamat crystal is now a fashionable item in the imperial capital. The upper class is proud of owning this pure and translucent precious gemstone. The mirrors made from it are now famous all over the world, and countless famous nobles are buying them. It, people are crazy about it.
The profits brought by glass are huge, so terrifying that more than a dozen craftsmen have been executed for allegedly leaking secrets in the past few months. Even our investigative reporter Julie is now under strict scrutiny. It is suspected that she has colluded with the ambassadors of other countries to leak the glass craftsmanship.
Julie is really courageous. She has told her not to contact foreigners rashly when the wind is tight. She promised well. When she looked back at the strange-looking aliens, she couldn't help but follow them to take pictures. Back can be regarded as trouble upper body.
In order to save our reporter, I had to explain the existence and function of the camera to the imperial inspectors. Our ambitious Prince Akka followed me like a shark smelling blood and asked me repeatedly about the camera. The structure and principle, and whether it can be imitated.
The answer is of course no. The optical and electrical principles involved in this thing are very complex, and its internal components are also extremely precise. After the artisans led by Prince Akka resolutely disassembled the camera and found that it could not be restored to its original state, everyone fell into embarrassing predicament.
"You broke my heirloom, and you have to pay." That was the only thing I said.
Our handsome prince pretended not to hear, rubbed his ears and fled the scene.
If you can run a monk, can you run a temple?
The camera was scrapped, but fortunately, I brought Julie home. My parents disliked Julie, a wild girl who likes to run around when she is not at home all day long, and they let me discipline Julie.
A 16-year-old girl is easily at a loss when she runs out of the house all the time.
My parents have said it, then I will discipline and tell Julie to stop running out recently, and learn Chinese with Lan Ze obediently.
I think it would be good to take her and Lan Ze to the opposite world to see some novel things if there is a chance in the future. She and Lan Ze are both very little thoughtful, so far I trust them both.
Since my parents went to the market to buy delicious meat and fresh mushrooms, they have become less resistant to the market. This month has passed four or five times, and one of them was by boat. Wang Jerry was the translator. They Bargaining turned out to be a lot cheaper to buy something.
My parents are not short of that money, they just enjoy the process of buying things.
Lanze's Cylencia language has finally reached the point where he has to improve. Now he not only learns Chinese from my parents like Wang Jerry, but also has to learn Cylencia from me along with Wang Jerry.
On the contrary, Julie is the only person in the family who speaks Cylencia after me, or her spoken language is actually better than mine. After all, during the glass factory, she had to use Cylencia to communicate with people. The locale Better than me, but unfortunately she can't write.
One class was just like this, and the time passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, at the end of the month, I went to Shimen to reunite with my sister. As usual, my parents were reluctant to bear their precious grandson.
Therefore, my previous entanglement is definitely not a fuss, and my parents are equally distressed. Next month, on Wang Jerry's fourth birthday, he will have to enter kindergarten in the opposite world according to the normal progress, and it is a problem for children to study.
We definitely can’t stay at home and be taught by us all the time. Children don’t have contact with the outside world and don’t communicate with their peers. In the future, their personality will easily become unsocial.
Then the question is very simple: go to school in the imperial capital, or go to school in Shanghai?
It is relatively simple to go to school in the imperial capital. The school-age children are six years old, and Wang Jerry can still play for two years;
if he goes to Shanghai to study, he can enter the nursery at the age of four, but the situation after crossing the Shimen is complicated: there is the influence of retrospective power, and the child cannot grow up. Even if I go back and forth on both sides of Shimen like me and my parents every month, all I can do is to keep my age unchanged, but Wang Jerry's long body is a big problem.
After some discussion, I still have to study in Shanghai. Even if the household registration is difficult to solve now, and I have to go back to the pressure, I still have to study in Shanghai. , the same can grow a little, if the primary school homework is good, you can ask for leave to not go to the opposite side, you can also squeeze out time to grow your body.
Grandpa, grandma and dad's careful arrangements for Wang Jierui to go to school are also relieved.
At the end of the month, I only brought my parents and puppy Hua Hua to Shimen. Hua Hua's blind eye showed almost no signs of improvement. Compared with the continuous backtracking, the efficiency of traveling back and forth every month was obviously much lower.
The most worth mentioning in Shanghai this month is the popular TV series "Han Zhu Gege". In fact, it started broadcasting last month. At that time, my parents were watching it. , There are obviously fewer people on the street every day when the TV series is broadcast. The smart and lively Xiao Yanzi, the handsome fifth elder brother and the gentle and virtuous talented girl Ziwei all make everyone like it very much. My parents have become their loyal audience. , watching TV on time every day, fascinated.
This month, the company was relatively unlucky. I thought that the price of gold was relatively low and started a little bit. As a result, the price of gold fell six times in a row. In addition, the value of the two newly purchased houses was affected by the quality problems of the real estate. We lost blood. Showering their heads, the three of them had no strength to collect rent, and they cried and grimaced all day.
Usually the company also loses, that is a small loss, a loss of 78,120,000 is not a big deal, this month’s loss is conservatively estimated to be close to 300,000, the cash flow is directly cut off, and we can’t even pay the loan. When I came out, I could only bite the bullet and sell gold when the price of gold was bleak. The weak point of my mind cried louder than my boss, as if our company was about to close down.
No one would have imagined that this kind of thing would happen, the bankruptcy is definitely not going to happen, we still have a lot of gold saved, even if I don't replenish the goods, we can survive until next summer, and there are still vacant pavements on Changshou Road, brother. A few businesses can also make money.
The first thing that came to my mind must be the old shop selling crystal and gem products, but not to mention the thought, it is very troublesome to cover up the purchase channel and craftsmanship. I plan to discuss with my parents to see if I can Do food.
It is said that catering is a lucrative industry. Otherwise, there would not be one crop after another on the street. It seems that bamboo shoots never stop popping up. I think our family’s restaurant should be a little tricky.
When I got home to chat, my parents shook their heads and objected. They absolutely did not allow me to bring the ingredients from the other side of the world. It turns out that I can fool around in a small place. Shanghai is a big city. What kind of vegetables and what kind of meat are we not courting death?
My dad watches TV all the time. He said that now he can know what animal it is by DNA testing. I must never do this kind of death.
Then... let's put medicine, say it's traditional Chinese medicine.
This may be the worst time that Chinese medicine has been hacked.
My parents looked at each other.
When I say that the ordinary-level healing potions are mixed into the food, it is said to be an ancient herbal diet... I have seen many restaurants in Shanghai under the guise of this, and it seems that no one cares.
"Pretending to be Chinese medicine?" My mother felt unreliable. She said what if the family wanted to check the specific raw materials?
I said, "That won't work. They all said the secret formula, so how could it be released?"
"What if they bring the soup bought from your house to send it for inspection?"
I'm not worried about this at all. It helped me, anyway, I'm sure that the healing potion can be mixed with other food to drink, and the common level healing potion is not as overbearing as the top-level scar removal potion, it will make people vomit, diarrhoea, wash the tendons and cut the marrow, no What can go wrong.
My parents are still worried. They both know that the magic potions made by mages are not cheap. Even the healing potions are very expensive. The price of a bottle of healing potions is enough for the entire family of ordinary imperial capital residents to eat and drink for a whole year. We brought them here. How much do you plan to sell in the future?
Thick, the effect is good but the cost is high, thin... the effect is better than nothing, what's the point?
This makes my parents feel at ease. The most important thing in our family in Agamat is money.
I invest in a pharmacy in my own home, and there are mages who make potions. It’s cheaper for me to get the goods at the internal price.
Moreover, because the therapeutic potions are too expensive, the common people will either take it hard or ask the witch doctor and shaman to resign themselves to fate after they get sick. The real and effective therapeutic potions are usually not in great demand, and the pharmacists refine them less, and their skills are still not up to the mark. If I can fill the demand, and the pharmacists will refine it more, the technology and efficiency will definitely be greatly improved, and the cost may be reduced.
Taking 10,000 steps back, I can also take pharmacists as elective subjects in my school. The big deal is to make pharmacy by myself, and only use materials and money.
Compared to holding Agamat gold coins and directly purifying gold bars and selling them, opening a restaurant with healing potions to make money is like taking off your pants and farting - superfluous, but also good, that is, I can find something for my parents to do, and also for us. The company develops some new projects, which make employees have some confidence in their bosses while making profits.
Originally, the idea of opening a restaurant was settled like this. If it wasn’t for the occasional chat with Yang Chen and Liang Jiangbo at school about the fruit candy that everyone had eaten before, I really hadn’t found the biggest treasure I’ve been missing—Shimen itself. .
I once did an experiment of passing through Shimen with ordinary fruit candies. Shimen's ability to distort the essence of objects makes every time all substances pass through it to another world to undergo a "strengthening". Bringing it back is equivalent to two "enhancements", and the candy originally formulated with the flavored sucralose cyclamate has become a delicious candy containing natural pulp.
Our family has always liked to eat the food brought from this side in the opposite world, also because the food is more delicious and safe after passing through Shimen.
If I open a restaurant, why don't I take all the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, rice, flour used in the restaurant through Shimen and bring it back? After strengthening, the taste and quality of all ingredients will be greatly enhanced, and even ordinary chefs will be able to make excellent and delicious dishes... Are you afraid that there will be no customers?
I was ecstatic when I figured this out and couldn't wait to go home and share this genius idea with my parents.
