Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 134 New Ideas for Making Money

Mrs. Zuo has one son and two daughters. The eldest son is an adult. He works in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. His official position is not high. Yu is one year younger than Luo Mingdu, and has already engaged in marriage. The little girl Zuo Junya is one year older than Luo Tiandu, and she is a lively and playful age.

The Zuo sisters were very happy to see Luo Tiandu and sister, especially Zuo Junyu, because he was already engaged, so he couldn't easily show his face outside. Boring, now that an outsider finally came, his attitude is very kind.

The Yanyu Zuo family is also a family that has been passed down for several years. Zuo Junyu and Zuo Junya were raised as daughters-in-law since they were young, and Zuo Qingzhi is very strict with their children. Ordinary people are more particular, and they have no intention of discriminating against Luo Tiandu and Luo Mingdu who just came to Beijing from the countryside. On the contrary, they are very interested in what Luo Tiandu described in the countryside, and they keep urging her to talk more, especially When Luo Tian talked about such interesting things as herding cattle in spring and picking elm money, digging honeycombs in summer, and going to the mountains to pick up autumn in autumn, his eyes lit up, wishing he could be in the farmhouse.

Zuo Junya said enviously: "In the past, I only said that living in a farmhouse was hard, but I never imagined that there would be such fun in the past. It's not easy for us to even go out. How could there be any fun?"

Luo Tian saw her envious tone, and said, "You only see the fun of living in the country, but you never thought that being born in a farm family, you have to work hard for a living even if you have a little bit of fun. Compared with the nine points of hard work, it is not worth anything."

After all, Zuo Junyu was older and calmer, nodded and said: "Exactly, Ya'er, you are so envious, if you are really allowed to live in the countryside, you may come back clamoring within three days .”

One sentence made all four of them laugh.

Zuo Junya thought about it, so she put aside this thought and asked Luo Tiandu what he usually did at home.

Luo Tiandu came to Beijing for the first time, and wanted to know how these so-called noble girls spent their time at home.These noble ladies don’t have to worry about their livelihoods, they don’t have to worry about food or drink, and they don’t have to work every day. They are commanded at home and accompanied by personal servants when they go out. With so many hours in the day, what do they do to pass the time.

Zuo Junya thought for a while and said: "It's nothing. I read books every day, practice calligraphy, embroider flowers, and play the piano. One day will pass. If you are really bored, you can go to the theater to listen to opera. "Speaking of this, Zuo Junya seemed to have thought of something, and said, "I heard that there is a new troupe leader in the troupe, and the few plays sung in the past two months have been very good. We will be fine anyway, or I will take you Go to listen to opera?"

She had good intentions, thinking that Luo Tian was bored, and wanted to take her out to have fun.

Luo Tian thought to himself, please forgive her, she is really not used to the humming opera.In the past, a theater troupe stopped in Qiushui Town for a few days and sang a few plays. She went to listen to it out of curiosity, but she fell asleep within a quarter of an hour. Waking up by Fang's shaking.Of course, the opera troupe in Shangjing Liyuan is definitely not comparable to the wild roads in a small place like Qiushui Town, but they still have the same accent after all, and she really has no interest at all.

But listening to Zuo Junya's words, she felt infinite sympathy for these so-called noble girls. These poor children have such a lack of entertainment life. Not only these girls, but even the entertainment methods of the entire era are so boring Outrageous.The men are better, they have an errand, and they go to the yamen every day to work, and they go there for more than half of the day. It's no wonder that they can only be moldy at home, and it's no wonder that apart from eating and sleeping all day long, they gather together to gossip about the parents and the family, or else they are thinking about how to deal with the vixen at home, because there is really nothing to do.

Luo Tiandu suddenly became enlightened, as if he had found a way to make money.Thinking about the various ways of entertainment in the later generations, even a few random ones are enough to relieve the boredom of these boudoir girls.She felt that the problem that she had been depressed and unable to find a direction to make money had been solved.

Before, she only thought about basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation. After visiting Beijing for a couple of times, she found that the business here was already well-established. There was really no chance for her to get involved, and she didn't have enough capital.However, when it comes to playing, there are so many things you can do without spending too much money.

Luo Tian is a man of action, and since he thought of a way to make money, he had to do it immediately, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to sleep.

After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to try a simple and fun game first.In the later generations she lived, there were a variety of entertainment methods. Later, with the existence of the Internet, people can learn about major events in the world without leaving home. .In this day and age, there is no electricity, no internet, so there is no need to think about online games, but she can improve some simple and interesting games, even if there is no internet or computer, she can still play.

The first attempt she thought of was hero killing.

Hero Kill is actually a turn-based card game. Cards are played in turn in a certain order. Players use the skills of the cards in their hands according to their general status to cause damage to other enemy players and reduce the blood volume of their generals. Until the blood volume of the hostile forces is all zero, it means victory.This is actually a test of the player's judgment ability, which is quite interesting.In his previous life, Luo Tiandu was very interested in this game for a while, and always played a game in his spare time.

Because there is no network and computer, of course it cannot be designed as a networked game. She intends to make this game into a form like poker.Considering that this game is mainly played by rich people, the card production should focus on exquisiteness.In this era, papermaking was not very developed, and there was no cardboard, so it was unnecessary to make playing cards. Originally, she planned to use jade, but jade was expensive and difficult to carve. In the end, Luo Tian thought about it. Decided to make a wooden sign.Moreover, these wooden cards are to be played with in the hands, so they must be very thin and smooth.For this reason, she specially asked Gu Bo to find a carpenter to play more than 100 pear wood cards the size of poker cards, and the thinner the better.

After getting the wooden sign, it was really light and thin, and the surface was polished very smooth, and it didn't feel thorny at all. Luo Tian felt very satisfied after seeing it.

In this way, the materials for making cards are also available, and the rest is calligraphy and painting, which Luo Tian couldn't do by himself, so he had to ask for foreign help.But she is not good at calligraphy and painting, but there are many people who can calligraphy and painting in Shangjing. She just needs to conceive the heroes and characters she needs first, as well as various skill explanations.

Because this is the first deck of cards, she only conceived five lords and twenty courtiers, and made up a story, briefly introducing the life stories of these lords, and setting up their skills.Considering the influence of the imperial power in this era, she slightly changed the identities of these generals. The protagonist was either replaced by the leader of a certain gang, or the head of a certain big family, and the female role became a certain big family. In short, you must not have anything to do with the court. Loyal ministers have also become bodyguards or guardians. It looks like a knight-errant story in an ordinary novel.

As for the explanations of skills, they are all ready-made, and she just needs to copy them.

Once, Luo Tiandu was writing a setting commentary, Luo Baisu saw it, and asked her curiously: "Xiaodu, are you writing a book?"

Luo Tian doesn't like to read those serious poems and books, but why he prefers some messy biographies and stories. He also likes craftsmen's books very much. Luo Baisu is no longer surprised by it. Writing and drawing on the paper, I thought she wanted to write a book by herself on a whim.

Luo Tian couldn't explain clearly to him for a while, so he could only vaguely respond.

Luo Baisu always spoiled children, so he took a pen and paper, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "You read, I'll write."

Luo Tiandu's eyes lit up immediately. Luo Baisu is now a writer, in charge of the Book Bureau, mainly compiling national history and so on. His colleagues must be scholars. With such a good free laborer, why does she worry about foreign aid?So he happily asked: "Father, among the people you know, is there anyone who can write well and draw well?"

Luo Baisu felt shocked: "Can't Dad help you write?" He was so passionate to help his beloved daughter, but Luo Tiandu asked someone else to write it. Doesn't that mean his handwriting is not good? , Is the painting not good?
Luo Tian was a bit dumbfounded: "Father's calligraphy and painting are of course good, but I want someone to paint Danqing, isn't dad not good at this?"

Luo Baisu was really not good at painting, so he had no choice but to say at this moment: "When it comes to calligraphy and painting, of course Mr. Zuo is the best, and Fu Taishi's painting is the best in the dynasty." He couldn't compare these two people no matter what.

Luo Tian heard this, and said with a smile: "Father, I just want to make a small thing, as long as the characters are written well and the characters are drawn well, it's fine if the colors are used beautifully." Don't dare to trouble me, besides, they don't have the time to talk to her.

Luo Baisu was still thinking hard, Luo Tiandu said: "It's okay, I can solve it by myself." There are many down-and-out talented people in Shangjing, so I search for one carefully, give him some money, and have someone transcribe it. up.

Having said that, after more than half a month, one day Luo Baisu returned home excitedly, took a stack of calligraphy and drew them, Luo Tiandu saw that it was the setting of that set of cards, and the characters were drawn very vividly and beautifully. Especially the size fits very well with the wooden sign, he couldn't help smiling, and thanked Luo Baisu again and again.

Luo Baisu was very happy in his heart, but on the surface he had to put on a look of indifference, and said: "I saw you make so many wooden signs a few days ago, I think you want to write these things on the wooden signs , I asked someone to draw it for you."

Luo Tiandu spent several days carefully pasting those calligraphy and paintings on the wooden signboard. In order to prevent the paper surface from being worn out, he applied a layer of special glue on it, and then carved the same pattern on the back of the wooden signboard. In this way, The first pair of hero killing cards in the Daqing Dynasty was made.
