The man was obviously frightened by the price and stood hesitant in front of the stall.
Li Qiu didn¡¯t push it. This kind of thing depends on your own will and it¡¯s not a forced sale. If the other party feels that the price is not suitable, he can find someone else.
I guess the man had inquired about the price before he came. He turned around and looked at the other stalls, then gritted his teeth, reluctantly took out a bunch of money from his arms, held it in his hand, and then tightened it and relaxed it. After a few times, He reluctantly put the coin on the stall, looked at Li Qiu and said, "Sir, I have eighty-six copper coins here. Please help me estimate how much it will cost to send a letter. I will buy the rest from you." A piece of paper and an envelope. For the rest, you can help me write to my brother. You can write as many words as you want. I only have some money now."
Yun Jing felt a little sad when he saw him. He didn't look like a rich man at first glance. Eighty-six copper coins could buy eighty-six kilograms of coarse grains. A family of three could survive for a month with just a little bit of food. But with so much money, not Do you know how long you have been scrimping, just to send a letter, and the content cannot be too much, and you can't afford to pay for it!
In his previous life, Yunjing forgot where he heard a saying. It said that in ancient times, once many people separated, there was no difference between actually saying goodbye and never saying goodbye.
??Now it seems that this sentence is not an exaggeration. When communication is inconvenient and you are not wealthy, once you are separated from someone, it is very likely that you will never hear from him again.
Li Qiu looked at the sling of coins on the table, thought for a while and said: "I know that in Linshui County, in Wuzhou, if you want to send a letter from us, twenty copper coins are enough, and there are only sixty-six coins left. Coins, paper and envelopes. I need to collect thirteen coppers. In the end, there are fifty-two coppers left. I have to exclude the address and recipient. Therefore, there is not much I can write for you. Are you sure you want me to write it for you? Do you believe it?"
Hearing what the master said, Yunjing wanted to speak several times, but in the end he remained silent.
Hearing this, the other party gritted his teeth and nodded, saying: "My mother misses her brother so much, sir, could you please help me write it?"
"Okay, but I want to ask, are you sure you just need me to help you write it clearly? Your mother is old and may not have much time left. She wants to meet your brother who has been away from home for many years. In addition, you also need me to help you write it. Anything else?" Li Qiu looked at him seriously and asked.
The other party thought for a while and said: "If you have enough money, please tell him, sir, that his eldest nephew, my eldest son, accidentally fell off a cliff three years ago and died, and his grandfather also passed away last year. And, uh, no more, that¡¯s it.¡±
He probably still had many, many things he wanted to tell his brothers far away, but thinking that he didn¡¯t have enough money, he quickly shut up.
After listening, Li Qiu pondered for a moment to express his understanding, and then asked his brother's address in detail. Then he picked up a pen and paper and started writing. Soon a beautiful font appeared on the paper.
Yunjing watched his master write letters for him. He really admired his master's beautiful calligraphy and wondered when he would be able to practice such calligraphy.
"It's a pity that Yun Jing doesn't know many words, and he can only recognize a few words after reading what Li Qiu wrote.
Although Yunjing didn¡¯t know what the master was writing specifically, he was silently counting the words on the paper. He was a little surprised because the words on the letter already exceeded the money paid by the other party!
Seeing this, Yunjing understood in his heart. Although the master didn't say anything and had no intention of lowering the price, he did not rigidly charge per word, but quietly gave the other party a great discount with practical actions.
After writing, Li Qiu dried the ink, pressed the paper with a paperweight, and then began to take out the envelope and write the recipient's address and other information.
The man looked at the letter in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully asked: "Sir, I can't read. Can you tell me what is written on it?"
Li Qiu continued writing and said calmly: "No problem, just listen carefully. What is written above is: 'Brother Qi, after a long separation, I miss you very much. I am old in Gaotang. I may not have many more days. I miss you very much. My mother is looking forward to returning home. My nephew is unfortunate. , fell off a cliff, it has been three years, my grandfather passed away more than a year ago, don¡¯t be sad, there are many things to do, and there are few words in this short paper. If you return, I hope to return, and I will talk about it again."
These are all the contents written by Li Qiuxin. There are not many words. They try to be concise and concise, but they are far more than the money paid by the other party. After all, in addition to the content, they also need to write the address, and they also need to be paid per word.
The man obviously didn¡¯t know how to count and didn¡¯t realize that he had made money. Although he had almost no education, after listening to it, he roughly understood what he wanted to express, so he expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face.
Li Qiu wrote the address and name of the recipient on the envelope, folded the letter and put it inside, then took off twenty copper coins from the sling he gave and handed them to the other party and said: "Take the letter and go to the inn. , I paid the shipping fee at that time, ?Someone will help you seal it and send it out.¡±
"Thank you sir, thank you sir" The other party thanked him deeply and left.
Li Qiu put away the rest of the polishing fee. There was no joy in making money on his face. There was a bit of melancholy in his eyes. He didn't say anything, picked up the book again and started reading slowly.
Yunjing had almost rested, and then continued to practice calligraphy.
The day passed quickly, and their stall made a total of four transactions, earning about two hundred copper coins. The speed at which they made money really left Yunjing speechless.
It should be noted that for these two hundred copper coins, if his family had been in the past, they would have needed to manage an acre of land all year round to have such an income.
In addition to the first person, Li Qiu wrote two more letters for others, and also helped a family pick a name for a newborn baby. Anyway, he made money easily, and for ordinary people It's very sincere.
On the way back, Li Qiu said: "I earned two hundred and four copper coins today, which is not too much. We will come here on our days off from now on. If we have such a profit every time, we will be able to provide food rations and firewood for the winter." There¡¯s no need to worry about charcoal fire. The reason why I brought you here to witness this is just to tell you that it¡¯s very simple to make money after studying and doing knowledge to a certain extent.¡±
"Hmm", Yun Jing nodded, obviously not very interested.
Li Qiu was a little surprised and asked: "Jing'er, do you have something on your mind? You might as well tell my teacher."
"Master, I can't talk about what's on my mind. I just feel that the families who came to write to Master today are pitiful. The brother of the first family has been away for six years, and the daughter of the second family has been married for more than ten years. The husband of the third family has been away for several years and has not returned. They themselves are not living well, but they have to save money to send letters to contact their families. They spend all their savings and the messages they send are only a few words, and they can't even get a response. It¡¯s also unknown,¡± Yun Jing thought for a while and said.
Hearing what Yun Jing said, Li Qiu thought about it for a while, patted his head gently and said with a smile: "You are not a big boy, but you are still playing tricks on me. Do you think what I did today is Why is it a little unkind? You know that their family is poor, but you still charge so much. Do you feel that the letter I wrote to them casually is a bit unworthy of their money? "
"I, well, I have a little bit of this idea." After thinking about it, Yunjing admitted frankly that he didn't want to tell lies to deceive his master.
Li Qiu did not blame him, but instead said with some approval: "Jing'er, you have compassion, which is good, but what I want to tell you as a teacher is that it is not that teachers are unkind, and we can't do it because of compassion. If you don¡¯t eat or drink, you can help in vain. Think about it, starting from reading and literacy, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, book tuition, which one does not cost money? Which one does not cost a lot of money? Compared with those, what do we earn now, let alone What's more, if you want to further your knowledge, you will have to spend more money. In short, the more you earn, the more you spend. Thinking about it this way, don't you feel more comfortable? We have paid so much before to have the ability to make money. With my ability and this money, I can earn it with peace of mind.¡±
"And, as a teacher, I have to do this. As the saying goes, what you do will lead to success, and a teacher can't stop charging just because he pities others. If you do this, you will become a good person, and other people who make a living by doing this will become a good person." What will people think? Besides, sincere teachers don¡¯t receive much, and if they go elsewhere, they will only spend more!¡±
Hearing what Master Li Qiu said, Yunjing suddenly felt relieved.
Yes, it is easy for educated people to make money, but does anyone know how much they have to pay before they have the ability to make money? It's not something that violates the law or morality. This money is earned with peace of mind.
What's more, if you don't make the money, there are people who will make it.
The teacher teaches and learns karma to solve doubts. This is the answer to doubts. If it were not for the words and deeds, Yunjing would think about this matter with the thinking of his past life experience, and he might not know when he would be able to figure it out.
