Chapter 10: Wild Thoughts

In front of Pan Jinlian's beauty, Wu Dalang was undoubtedly inferior.

Yang Chang's words moved him. The only way to change his appearance is to be reborn. Yang Chang then put forward a novel idea, and Wu Dalang had to agree after hearing it.

The easiest way to gain respect from others is to make money.

As long as you have the ability to make a lot of money, why would you be afraid that women won't be as docile as lambs?
Many of the wealthy men and officials in Qinghe and Yanggu counties were ugly in appearance, but they looked different when they put on expensive clothes, and others would bow and nod when they saw them.

On the way home, Yang Chang not only gave theories, but also taught Wu Da how to attract customers.

Tricks such as opening discounts, free gifts for bulk purchases, and discount promotions are all very simple means in later generations, but they are top strategies in this era.

Wu Dalang used to do honest business, but after listening to this story, it was like he had opened the door to a new world and he was full of expectations for the future.

Soon, the two arrived at Zi Shi Street.

Yang Chang instructed Wu Da: "Brother, when you meet your sister-in-law later, tell her that this is your idea. I will go back and think about it carefully. I will come to see you tomorrow morning, and then we will go to buy a stove, iron pot and steamer. Brother, you have to think about what delicacies to sell. Pancakes alone are not attractive enough, so you can set a higher price."

"I won't lie."

Wu Da scratched his head and raised his neck to stare blankly, revealing his harmless face.

"Cough cough."

Yang Chang felt his scalp tingling from being stared at, and he immediately tried to comfort her, "Brother, if you want to gain the respect of your sister-in-law, it's okay to tell a white lie. No one will expose you anyway. Only if you hold your head up at home can you resolve the conflict with your second brother."

“Yes, I’ll try my best.”

"I won't go into the house."

Seeing that he had reached the door of his home, Yang Chang put down his shoulder pole and prepared to return to the county government office, but was stopped by Wu Da.

"There are still a hundred or so pancakes in the basket. Erlang said you can eat dozens of them in one meal. Why don't you just take them all back to the county government office and eat them with Erlang at night? Otherwise, they will go bad if I take them back."

Wu Da stopped talking abruptly, then spread out the white cloth to pack the pancakes.

Yang Chang understood the hidden meaning and did not refuse Wu Da's kindness. He smiled and left with two packs of pancakes.

After saying goodbye to Wu Da and walking a few steps, he saw Wang Po sitting in front of the door next door, grinning at Yang Chang, showing a row of white teeth.

Smiling tiger!
Although Yang Chang felt contempt in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He just nodded slightly and strode away from Zi Shi Street.

Wu Da looked at Yang Chang's back and sighed that Erlang was really a good friend. It was a pity that such a useful brain did not become an official. Then he picked up the empty basket and walked into the house.

Pan Jinlian heard the noise and walked down from the second floor holding the railing.

"Da Lang is back? It's just past noon now, why are you back so early today?"

"Um"

Wu Da looked up at Pan Jinlian, then lowered his head to do his own thing and answered casually, "Business is good today. I met a few big buyers and sold out all the pancakes."

"Big buyer?"

Pan Jinlian was looking in the mirror by the window when she accidentally saw the situation on the street downstairs. She knew that Wu Da was lying, but before she could question him, Wu Da changed the subject.

"My dear, I will not make much money from carrying a load and hawking goods in the wind and sun. I plan to do business at my doorstep in the future, so that I can control how much I sell."

"Ah?"

Pan Jinlian sneered, looked at Wu Da with contempt, and teased, "Selling pancakes at your doorstep? You really are like brothers. You believe that I am fickle and might cheat on you when I'm alone at home, so you use the excuse of doing business at home to keep an eye on me, right?"

"No." Wu Da was stunned for a moment. He put down the basket and chased after him, saying in surprise: "Madam, why do you say that? This matter has nothing to do with Erlang."

"It has nothing to do with Erlang. That was Sanlang's idea. The big customer you're talking about is not that guy Yang Chang, right? How much did you sell today? Let me count it!"

Pan Jinlian had a cold face and stretched out her hand to ask for money to reconcile the accounts. Only then did Wu Da realize that he had been exposed.

"Don't be angry, my lady. I can really do business at home. Let me tell you in detail."

"Let go, don't touch me!"

"Yes Yes."

Wu Da immediately let go of her hand and told Pan Jinlian, smiling, every word of Yang Changjiao's business tips.

Although he is ugly and has a poor understanding of the routines, he has a good memory and there are almost no mistakes in his descriptions.

Pan Jinlian had worked as a maid in a wealthy family. She had not only seen the world but also had a quick mind. She was initially disdainful of Wu Da's explanation, but after listening to it, she was immediately moved and felt that those business ideas were worth pursuing. "Is this something you came up with?"

"Yes."

After Wu Da finished speaking, he lowered his head guiltily. Pan Jinlian couldn't help but sneer when she saw him.

"If Dalang had such a brain, why would he have been a peddler for so many years? Your reckless second brother is not only rude, but also knows how to scare people with his fists. Could these fantastic ideas come from Yang Sanlang?"

"Uh"

Seeing Pan Jinlian calling his name, Wu Da felt relieved. He smiled and nodded in affirmation: "My wife is very smart. The ideas you just mentioned were all taught to me by Sanlang. He is only eighteen years old now, and I don't know where he learned them."

"Learn? Where can I learn?"

Pan Jinlian recalled Yang Chang's appearance and thought to herself that this young man was so capable.

"I've never heard of this in my life. Some abilities are innate."

"According to what my lady said, can such a deal be done?"

Wu Xiao looked over carefully and found that Pan Jinlian's cold face was slowly beginning to warm up.

"Give it a try. If you can't do it, you can still carry a load on your shoulders on the street."

"well."

Wu Da was overjoyed when he heard this, and responded with a smile: "Since my wife agrees, I will start preparing."

"Remember to ask Sanlang for help. This idea was his. You can't do it without him."

"I know, I know. Sanlang will come tomorrow morning to buy the stove, steamer and other things. I will listen to him."

"That's good"

After reminding Wu Da, Pan Jinlian looked up and recalled Yang Chang's appearance. Although his appearance and figure were not as good as Wu Song's, he was much better than her own man.

Yang Sanlang is young and inexperienced, and I wonder if he can withstand the teasing.

Could he be like Wu Song, a rough man who doesn't understand romance?
No, he is so thoughtful and gentle, he must be an interesting person.

"Miss?"

"Oh, you start preparing first, I'll go upstairs to make the shoes."

Pan Jinlian's wandering thoughts were interrupted by Wu Da. She immediately turned around and went upstairs. She felt her cheeks slightly hot and something sticky between her buttocks.

How could I? This shouldn't be the case.
Yang Chang had no idea that even if a man didn't have a hormonal body, he could still attract women with his wisdom.

The next morning, Yang Chang went to Zishi Street to look for Wu Da, and Pan Jinlian smiled at him for the first time.

After seeing so many ordinary women on the street, Pan Jinlian’s smile is very powerful.

Fortunately, Yang Chang had a high "defense" and did not fall at first sight like Ximen Qing. He politely nodded to Pan Jinlian in return and soon took Wu Da to the market to make purchases.

Friend's wife, don't deceive.

Yang Chang didn't want to take the blame for Ximen Qing, nor did he want to turn against his close ally Wu Song.

Looking at the cheerful Wu Dalang beside him, Yang Chang wondered whether he should give the "throbbing pill" on himself to Wu Da and Pan Jinlian to increase the probability of Wu Da and his wife having a baby, but there was only one pill, so who should he give it to?

"Brother, do you know where to buy rabbits? They must be alive."

"Live rabbits?" Wu Da was stunned when he heard this, and nodded and replied: "They are sold in Yangshi Lane in the north of the city. I will take you there now. Do you want to buy some to raise or..."

"No hurry, let's take care of my elder brother's business first. Killing a rabbit alive now will make it taste better. It can be used to make soup and go with wine."

"That's true."

Wu Da had no idea that Yang bought the rabbits not for eating but to swat them away.

Yang Chang's weird idea came from killing monsters while playing the game. The same monsters had the same drops, and he thought that he might be able to kill them too due to his strange fate. How could he know that it wouldn't work if he didn't try?

If you can really use rabbits to get "throbbing pills", it might be a good way to make money.
