After Fang Chang paid off his debt, he felt relaxed.
Then he took the medicine bag and booked a banquet at a restaurant on the roadside and sent them to the Palace of Death, thinking that he should hire a cook.
For him now, ordering takeout is not only a bit luxurious, but also not safe enough.
He does not have a body that is invulnerable to all poisons.
I was thinking about some martial arts novels I read in the past, in which the famous heroes were unprepared or looked down on others.
As a result, he was poisoned by an unknown person at a roadside stall.
The flashes of swords and arrows in the past did not make him fall. Just because he ate one more sesame seed cake, his life was gone. It was not a loss at all.
Thinking like this, Fang Chang felt more and more that the situation was urgent.
The important things in life are nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Among them, eating is the first priority.
Just thinking about it all the way, Fang Chang wandered home.
Suddenly his thoughts stopped, he stared at the little black man standing at the door of his house, and started laughing.
"Have you thought about it?"
Heidan, Zhu Gui, nodded and said:
"I've thought about it, I want to be Zhu Gui, not a black egg."
"Then come with me."
Fang Chang led Zhu Gui into the house through the back door and asked him to wait in the courtyard while he went into the house and brought out a secret book.
"Can you read?"
Zhu Gui shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Fang Chang said: "If you don't know it, then learn it."
He took out a piece of silver from the purse at his waist and threw it together with the secret book.
"This is a meeting gift for you. Use the five taels of silver to buy yourself some nice clothes, and then find a gentleman to teach you how to read.
This secret is your former boss's Eagle Claw Skill, whether you can succeed or not depends on you."
Zhu Gui caught the silver and the secret book and felt his hands trembling.
Although five taels of silver was a lot, it didn't make him so excited.
Only this secret book.
This is the seed of power!
Why can his boss become the boss? Is it because he has many younger brothers?
No, it's because he can fight!
Most of the reputation of the Wolf Gang was created by the boss.
Because he is cruel enough and can hurt others, that's why he has so many younger brothers.
Therefore, as soon as the boss died, the Wolf Gang fell apart in an instant, and all the gang members were thinking about how to swallow up the last bit of the Wolf Gang's legacy.
Since it is said that Wang Jie and her sympathetic husband killed the boss, then she is the murderer.
No one cares about the truth.
The boss is dead, but the boss is replaced.
The reason why his boss is so powerful is his Eagle Claw Skill.
He knew that several members of the gang had lost their lives trying to steal the secret book left by the boss, but in the end no one found it.
Unexpectedly, the Eagle Claw Skill ended up in Fang Chang's hands.
Zhu Gui's mind was tumbling, and he finally suppressed his excitement.
Not to mention whether he can master the martial arts in the secret book.
Even if you practice it, what can you do?
The boss who practiced the Eagle Claw Skill didn't die at Fang Chang's hands.
Zhu Gui calmed down his mood, but his trembling lips still betrayed his mood. He looked at Fang Chang and asked:
"Boss Fang, what can I do for you?"
In order to earn a living, he had to work hard to join the Wolf Gang. There was no reason why someone would give him such a huge benefit for nothing.
Fang Chang smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, just call me boss and I will give you a bite to eat. As for what I want you to do?"
Well - find me a cook first. The cooking should be delicious and the food should be safe to use. It doesn't matter if the price is a little expensive.
You finish this matter first, and then I'll tell you other things."
As he said this, he seemed to think of something and threw him another ingot of silver.
"By the way, you should also take this money. Since you are doing things for me, if you don't have money, you won't be able to straighten your back."
Zhu Gui held the silver tightly in his hand, opened his mouth and said nothing, and finally nodded vigorously and said:
"Boss, I won't let you down."
…
Two days later.
Merchants on Changliu Street unexpectedly discovered that the Shengsheng Zhai, which had been closed for many days, had finally opened its doors.
Zhu Gui removed the last door panel and let the sunlight shine in without reservation. The cold sacrifices placed on the shelves seemed to have warmed up at this moment.
Fang Chang came out of the inner room with his hands behind his back, looked around, then took out a big red paper from behind and handed it to Zhu Gui.
"Put this on the door."
Zhu Gui looked at the many words written on the red paper and asked curiously:
"Boss, what's written on it?"
Fang Changdao: "Our store is closed down, clearance sale, everyone in the shop is penniless!"
Zhu Gui suddenly looked shocked: "Boss, our store closed down just after we opened it today?"
Fang Changconfidently said: "What do you know? This is called marketing, don't worry about it, just do it."
"And from now on, we will specialize in one specialty. When all the incense paper money is sold out, we will sell paper figures.
This is called leveraging advantages and specializing in operations."
If it weren't for the worry that too many disposable paper puppets would be easily exposed in the future, Fang Chang would not have planned to continue opening the store.
These days, you can only make a little money by opening a serious store.
Although Zhu Gui didn't understand what Fang Chang meant, he knew that just follow it.
He found some paste and stuck the big red paper out.
After a while, the first customer came to the door.
"The whole audience is literate, Boss Xiaofang, what do you mean?"
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a loose scholar's robe, his hair was meticulously styled, and he looked more serious.
Fang Chang knew him. The bookstore owner next door was named Xu Bin, an old boy who had failed many times and was not even a scholar.
"Boss Xu, it's just like what's written, everyone in the shop is two pennies. Everything in this store only costs two pennies. Do you want some?"
Boss Xu shook his head and said: "There is no funeral in my family, what kind of sacrifice do you want?
But Boss Xiaofang, you finally opened the door. We are all neighbors. I will support you no matter what.
Give me this incense, my wife is a Buddhist and burns incense every day."
He pointed to a large pile of incense sticks, hundreds of them.
Fang Chang didn't expect that Boss Xu, who looked serious, was actually a shameless guy.
I was given two cents for hundreds of incense sticks, and he was really open-minded.
Fortunately, he has a broad mind and doesn't care about things.
So he took out three sticks of incense and handed them to Boss Xu and said: "Sincere benefits, thank you very much for your care, Boss Xu."
Boss Xu's expression changed.
But he boasted that he was familiar with the articles of saints and he always cared about his image. He obviously wanted to get angry, but he held it back and said in a dry tone:
"Boss Xiao Fang, you didn't say that three sticks of incense cost two pennies."
Fang Chang said matter-of-factly:
"Boss Xu, don't you have to burn hundreds of incense sticks at one time at your home? Aren't there three incense sticks in one stick?"
Moreover, the monks at the big Buddhist temple outside the city charge you ten cents for a stick of incense oil, but I only charge two cents. I don’t know how much cheaper it is.”
Boss Xu looked constipated: "How can this compare?"
Fang Chang said in a long voice: "Oh, it turns out it's Boss Xu who wants to default on the debt. I heard that Boss Xu is quite henpecked. I guess you are under tight control, so it's very difficult to get these two cents."
"nonsense!"
As if a rabbit's tail had been stepped on, Boss Xu took out a piece of broken silver from his cuff, slapped it on the counter, and said loudly:
"Wrap three hundred sticks for me!"
Fang Chang did not give Boss Xu a chance to regret, he skillfully collected the broken silver and responded loudly:
"okay!"
After a while, Boss Xu walked out of the door of the Rebirth House in a daze, holding a large handful of incense. He wanted to cry but had no tears, and his chest was throbbing with pain.
These two coins are half of his private money!
"Boss Xu, go slowly. Welcome to visit us next time."
