The newborn sun pierced the darkness, and the glowing light shot into the ruined temple from the long-lost cracked roof, regaining some vitality to the dark ruined temple.

The wanderers gathered in the dilapidated temple had already gone out early to line up to receive the porridge and steamed buns, leaving only the rags on the ground. The thin and skinny pony was still lying in place, raising his head and ruminating the hay in his stomach. The dirty hair under his neck kept shaking, looking lazy and unhurried.

Zhao Yuan woke up very early, and he didn't want too many people to see him, so he didn't rush to Wanjia to queue up.

By noon, Zhao Yuancai rushed to Wanjia slowly.

The Ma family is in Hexi, while the Wan family and the Xiao family are in Hedong. However, most of the shops operated by the three companies are in Hedong.

Wanjia is located at the end of the East Street, and after the end of the East Street, it is the official road. It may be a remote countryside, and the land is not valuable. Wanjia covers a very wide area, and the length of the fence on the street alone exceeds 300 meters. In addition to the grand vermilion gate in the middle, there are more than a dozen brick and stone shops near the bustling area, which are doing grocery wholesale business. Some vendors are constantly carrying cargo loads in and out. At the end of the East Street, a small door was opened, which should allow the ponies carrying goods to enter and exit the servants. During Zhao Yuan's observation, except for a few grooms leading the ponies in and out, there were no idle people.

Because the walls are high and the courtyard is deep, the internal structure of Wanjia cannot be seen from the outside. However, Zhao was originally a wealthy family, and he could make a judgment just from the direction of the wall. Wanjia covers at least more than 100 acres of land.

The porridge outside the vermilion gate of Wanjia seemed to have just begun. A huge iron pot was set up at the door. Below the iron pot was burning with flames, steaming hot. Next to the iron pot was a five-story steamer. The steamer was opened, and the white steamed buns were piled up like mountains, emitting an attractive wheat fragrance.

In the vermilion gate, a servant kept pouring buckets of porridge and steamed buns into an iron pot and added to the steamer.

Behind the steamer, a group of servants surrounded a simple-dressed woman busy.

In front of the iron pot and steamer, except for the winding team of hundreds of meters, there were thousands of people who were eating porridge and steamed buns around.

Judging from the clothes, it is not only the wanderers who come to collect porridge and steamed buns, but also many poor residents in the local area. Most of them carry their families with their families and carry large and small pots to their families.

As some wanderers said, the Wan family is very kind. As long as someone is queuing up with an empty basin, they will fill the basin with porridge, and each person has two steamed buns. When encountering some disabled and obviously weak people, the kind-hearted woman will signal to give more steamed buns and turn a blind eye to those who queue up repeatedly.

Zhao Yuan did not join the team, but squatted from afar and observed the servants surrounding the woman.

There are more than a dozen servants and servants who help around the women, and Zhao Yuan must find a target from these servants.

Those working servants were not among Zhao Yuan's considerations. He knew very well that the servants were doing some rough work, while the servants were serving the masters. The status of the two was very different and they were not on the same level at all.

Most servants cannot speak to their masters, while servants have long-term contact with their masters and generally develop certain feelings.

Finally, Zhao Yuan chose a servant with a fierce look. This servant had the greatest temper. When distributing steamed buns, although he tried hard to pretend to be a good person, his casual expression of disgust was very large and he was obviously impatient.

Generally speaking, people with good hearts are timid.

Zhao Yuan has a deep intention to choose this servant. First of all, most of these people are greedy and easily bribed; secondly, when such people recommend jobs for him, they will give him some face to avoid offending him; most importantly, such people are narrow-minded and will regard Zhao Yuan as their own and will not let others bully him.

Zhao Yuan is not just looking for a temporary shelter to spend the severe winter now, but most importantly, he wants to avoid the tracking of Huayun Sect.

What is certain is that in recent months, Huayun Sect has been crazily following his status, so it is naturally not appropriate to be a identifiable person.

Through quiet inquiries, the fierce-looking man named Xu San, an authentic descendant of the Xu family.

Xu San lives in Xujiaxiang, where he has an old mother and wife, and a pair of twin sons who are only three years old. Xu San has a good income in Wanjia, but because he is alone in supporting his family, his economy is still a bit short of money and can only barely support him and he is under great pressure.

Xu Sanchang lives in Wanjia and lives at home for less than a week every month. Every time he goes home, he will drink and beat his wife, which has a very bad reputation among neighbors.

However, although Xu San's wife has a very bad reputation, she has a strong sense of family responsibility. Every time she goes home, she will bring a lot of food and clothing from the Wanjia family, and most of her income will be handed over to her. This makes neighbors occasionally praise him, and many women even regard Xu San as a role model for men - of course, except for drinking and beating his wife.

Zhao Yuan gave an evaluation: This is a man with great financial pressure.

Zhao Yuan is not unfamiliar with the management system of servants. In Zhao Yuan's family, there will be special personnel to collect information about servants, including the composition of family members, economic situation and feelings, etc. These information will be fed back to family managers and deal with them in a timely manner to avoid some hidden dangers affecting the safety of family members.

From the fact that Xu San often brought some food and clothes to the home, it was obvious that the Wan family also knew about the situation in Xu San's family and was trying their best to avoid the collapse of Xu San's family, which affected Xu San's work in Wan family.

For local wealthy families like Wanjia, as long as the servants do not make principled mistakes, they will generally not fire their jobs. After all, a stable servant is more beneficial to the stability of the family status.

Xu San has been working in the Wan family for more than ten years, and some emotional foundation has been established between the master and the servant. In addition, Xu San has an old mother and wife, and two young sons. Such servants are relatively stable and difficult to cause major disasters. Although there are some minor problems, they are considered flaws but not concealed.

For some large families, the most feared thing is the servant who is stingy outside. The destructive power caused by an unfaithful servant is far greater than the enemy's frontal blow.

According to the bits of information, Xu San is still very loyal to the Wan family, and his status is not very low, so he should be able to speak.

According to information, Wanjia will have a series of family activities after the first day of the first day of the New Year, and will be relatively busy for several consecutive days. This busyness will last until the fifth day of the New Year. After the fifth day of the New Year, Xu San will usually go home to sleep for one night and return to Wanjia on the afternoon of the sixth day of the New Year.

On the same day, Zhao Yuan left Xu Jiaqiao, and he had to prepare a generous gift for Xu San.

Zhao Yuan is now invisible, and his only way is to hunt.

Fortunately, today is the first day of the New Year, and there is still enough time to get from the fifth day of the New Year.

More than fifty miles east of Xujiaqiao, there is a mountain that has become the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are many birds and beasts in the mountains. Among them, there is a rare herbivore living on a peak called Xiaoyang Mountain, which is called elk. Because its head and face are like horses, horns are like deer, necks are like camels, and tails are like donkeys, so it is also called Sibuxiang.

The meat of elk is fresh and tender, and the antlers have high medicinal value, which promotes blood circulation, reduces swelling, and benefits the kidneys. It treats sores, swelling, blood stasis, internal injuries, and pain in the back and spine.

Because the elk is rare and almost extinct, and its vigilance is extremely high, it is difficult to catch, so a elk is valuable. Even if it is acquired from hunters, it is more than 2,000 imperial coins. Especially the antlers, transported to a bustling city, is worth tens of thousands of yuan.

After inquiring about some news about the elk, Zhao Yuan headed straight to Xiaoyang Mountain.

The mountain has been covered with heavy snow, and some Zhao Yuan is not worried about being exposed. In order to save time, he ran all the way and arrived at the foot of Xiaoyang Mountain in the afternoon of the first day of the first lunar month.

PS: The domineering voice was hoarse, but it was still in eighth place. It was so difficult to collect a few red tickets? The domineering still had a fierce fighting spirit, kill him!
