Shi Feizhe roughly understood that only when the Blood Qi Spirit and the other four were complete would he have that very subjective feeling.

Next, Hua Xiaomei answered Shi Feizhe's other questions, acting like the most meticulous teacher, which deeply moved Shi Feizhe.

Who said the Jianghu was all about deceit and trickery? There were still Righteous People like Hua Xiaomei.

"Thank you, Brother Hua! If Shi Feizhe achieves anything in the future, he will definitely repay Brother Hua for his guidance!" Shi Feizhe bowed very solemnly to Hua Xiaomei and said.

It was then that Hua Xiaomei remembered that this young brother's surname was Shi.

"No need to be polite. In the Jianghu, we are all strangers meeting by chance. To meet again is fate! If I can help, I will!" Hua Xiaomei said again, "I see Brother Shi is dressed simply. If you don't mind, I can introduce you to work at Three Talents Manor. Although it's hard work, it's a long-term plan!"

It would be best to have the people of Three Talents Manor keep a close eye on the great medicine he was growing!

"Really?" Shi Feizhe was overjoyed. He truly had no means of livelihood right now, and this was like someone handing him a pillow when he was sleepy. He said, "Then I thank Brother Hua very much!"

"It's just a small matter, no need for so much courtesy! I'll take you to Three Talents Manor first and speak to Zhan Ming. I don't think he'll refuse me!" Hua Xiaomei said, fanning himself.

Zhan Ming was the person who called out for people to register at the entrance of Three Talents Manor every day. He was the steward in charge of the entrance of Three Talents Manor. Today, after maintaining order and registering people at the entrance, he turned around and returned to East Manor, only to see Hua Xiaomei walking towards him with someone.

"Greetings, Young Master Hua!" He bowed respectfully to Hua Xiaomei. As a steward of Three Talents Manor, he knew that even the Manor Lord was quite polite to Hua Xiaomei, so as a subordinate, he naturally had to be respectful!

"Greetings, Steward Zhan!" Hua Xiaomei was like this, polite to everyone. He returned the bow to Zhan Ming and said, "This is a young brother I met by chance on the road. I wonder if your manor has any vacant positions so that he can stay in the manor and make a living."

Zhan Ming was also a shrewd person. He knew he couldn't make the decision on this matter and needed the Head Butler or the Manor Lord's approval, but he didn't say it directly, fearing he would hurt Young Master Hua's feelings. He said, "This is easy! However, I need to ask the Head Butler for instructions and check the roster to see where people are needed!"

"Go ahead! You should also inform Manor Lord Zhan." Hua Xiaomei nodded and turned to Shi Feizhe, saying, "Young brother, let's go in first and have some tea and snacks."

"This... won't it be too much trouble for Brother Hua?" Shi Feizhe looked at Zhan Ming's tall figure and said.

"It's a small matter, how can it be trouble?" Hua Xiaomei opened his fan with a "whoosh" and led Shi Feizhe through several doors to a side courtyard.

Three Talents Manor was a typical northern courtyard style, with all the courtyards being square, with high walls and large compounds. The courtyard had three rooms forming a quadrangle, with only the south side having no rooms. The small courtyard was paved with bricks, making it quite clean and spacious. The rooms all had black tiled roofs and wooden doors and windows, making them quite neat.

In the courtyard, there was a clump of green bamboo, and next to it was a stone table and four stone stools. Hua Xiaomei sat by the stone table and said to Shi Feizhe, "Sit, don't be shy."

Shi Feizhe looked around and also felt it was just average, not as luxurious as some sales offices in his previous life. He wasn't reserved and sat by the stone table.

As soon as he sat on the stone chair, two girls in green clothes, about fourteen or fifteen years old, came out of the side room in the courtyard, carrying a pot of hot tea and four plates of snacks.

The tea was green tea, with a fragrant taste that was indeed good. The snacks were pine goose oil rolls, cream pine roll crisps, seven-color powder cakes, and茯苓糕 (Fuling cakes), all made quite exquisitely, which greatly whetted Shi Feizhe's appetite, as he usually didn't eat dinner.

He didn't stand on ceremony, taking a pine goose oil roll with his left hand and a cream pine roll crisp with his right, paired with green tea. In a short while, the snacks were completely swept away by him.

Hua Xiaomei watched Shi Feizhe gobble down the food with a smile. He was from the Hua family of the Demonic Sect, and although his life was quite restricted from a young age, everything from clothing to food, housing, and transportation was meticulously arranged. The pastries at Three Talents Manor were just common goods in the Jianghu and truly didn't arouse his desire to taste them.

But seeing things he didn't care about, such as women, food, and martial arts techniques, being treated as treasures or being valued by others, gave him a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart, making him very happy.

Moreover, Shi Feizhe was the great medicine he was growing. The better Shi Feizhe ate, the better this plant would grow!

People who had grown things would also feel a sense of satisfaction when they saw their crops growing strong in the field.

Now, these two kinds of satisfaction were combined, making Hua Xiaomei feel very comfortable. He looked at the wolfing down Shi Feizhe and said, "Eat slowly, there's more if it's not enough!"

"Then I'll have another serving of these two!" Shi Feizhe knew that Hua Xiaomei didn't care about these snacks at all, so he wasn't polite and pointed to the pine goose oil rolls and cream pine roll crisps, saying.

Hua Xiaomei gently clapped his hands, and the green-clothed girl from before came out of the side room and came to Hua Xiaomei's side, performing a full bow.

"Bring two more servings of these two!" Hua Xiaomei pointed to the two empty plates.

The green-clothed girl bowed again and returned to the room. In a short while, she brought four plates of pastries.

"Another pot of this tea, please! Thank you!" Shi Feizhe said to the green-clothed girl.

The green-clothed girl glanced at Hua Xiaomei. Seeing that Hua Xiaomei didn't say anything, she then nodded slightly to Shi Feizhe.

After the tea arrived, Zhan Ming also bowed to Hua Xiaomei from a distance at the entrance of the small courtyard and said, "Young Master Hua, I have checked the roster. The manor still needs quite a few people. I wonder what this young brother is good at?"

He hadn't actually checked the roster, but had asked the Manor Lord for instructions. When the Manor Lord heard that Young Master Hua was introducing someone, he told Zhan Ming that Young Master Hua's request must be fulfilled!

As a subordinate, Zhan Ming immediately understood that Hua Xiaomei was a truly distinguished guest, the kind that even the Manor Lord didn't dare to offend!

"That's right, I wonder what the young brother is good at?" Hua Xiaomei turned to Shi Feizhe and said.

"Me!" Shi Feizhe swallowed the pastry and said, "I am proficient in arithmetic. There's no problem with calculating and keeping accounts."

These pastries were full of oil and sugar. In his previous life as a wage slave, he wouldn't even look at them, fearing he would gain weight just by looking. But now, for someone like him who often ate coarse grains and still couldn't get enough to eat, they were a great supplement!

"Arithmetic? Keeping accounts?" Zhan Ming was stunned. He glanced at Shi Feizhe, expressing some doubt.

There were many people who knew martial arts these days, but not many who knew arithmetic!

"Indeed! Why don't you find someone to give me a test, and you'll know?" Shi Feizhe said while eating. He had also figured it out. As a wage slave for many years, he had always done brain work. Asking him to go back to blacksmithing, chopping wood, or fishing, he couldn't do it!

Had he gone to school for more than ten years in his previous life for nothing?

Before, at the medical clinic, he was forced to be a handyman just to learn the knowledge of the medical clinic. Now that someone was introducing him, he could start directly as an accountant!

Who the hell would want to do physical labor when they could do mental labor!

If I came to another world just to do physical labor, wouldn't the knowledge I learned be for nothing?
