He lived in the "Yelai Grocery Store" in Qinghe Town, Jiangnan, and determined to become a scholar. While making a living in the shop by calculating accounts, he studied classics and often made jokes; he collided with the shopkeeper, waiter, cook, busboy, private school teacher, and various customers in his daily life that made people laugh; he used modern knowledge to solve the problems of the neighborhood, and his reputation gradually increased, but he went further and further away from the orthodox imperial examination path.
