Chapter 07 Wealthy residence and working part-time
If the Li Xing of the past had been driven away like this by a shop assistant, he would have immediately turned around and left with a face full of shame and anger. But today's Li Xing has memories of his previous life and knows how people are. Moreover, his decision to enter the restaurant was made after careful consideration.
With a slight smile, Li Xing took a step forward and took off a jade pendant from his waist. This jade pendant was not a valuable thing, but it was worth a few dollars. He handed the jade pendant to the waiter and said, "Brother, please ask me a question.
, Trouble."
The waiter in the store was stunned. This was the first time someone had given him something as a servant. He turned over the jade pendant and looked at it several times, but he couldn't tell whether it was a good thing. However, the jade pendant looked very beautiful, and he must be able to exchange it for a few bucks.
Naturally, he would not throw away the fat he had obtained, so he put on a smiling face, put the jade pendant in his arms, and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I will ask the shopkeeper."
The waiter turned around and left in a hurry, while Li Xing was waiting outside the restaurant.
Coincidentally, three horses came up in unison. On each of the three horses sat a young girl. Each of them had a noble temperament and extraordinary beauty. The clothes on her body were elegant and luxurious, making people uncomfortable.
Dare to stare.
The three horses approached. One of the three girls noticed Li Xing. She suddenly pointed at Li Xing and smiled: "Look, he is not the one from the Chen family..." She suddenly stopped talking and pursed her lips to smile.
She stood up. Obviously, she wanted to say the word "trash" next, but was embarrassed to say it.
This girl was dressed in red, and her cloak was also red, flashing on her horse like a ball of flame.
The other two girls, both dressed in white, glanced at Li Xing with a look of disdain. They turned away and whispered: "The Li family's trash, what's so good about it? Chen Shuang,
Do you have a crush on him?"
The girl in red named Chen Shuang spat: "You just have a crush on him!" She urged her horse, and the three horses passed quickly, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.
Li Xing smiled bitterly in his heart. It seems that everyone knows this "trash" name!
In fact, it is not a shameful thing for a person to be unable to practice blood energy. But Li Xing is different. His father is Li Ziran, a wizard in Sanyi Garden and a master of Qi training. If the son of a wizard cannot practice blood, he must
It's called trash.
Three women, the woman in red is named Chen Shuang, she is the young lady of the Chen family in Sanyi Garden and the younger sister of Chen Xue.
The other two women, one named Bai Qiong and the other named Bai Jing, are the ladies of the Bai family in Sanyi Garden. The three surnames of Chen, Bai and Li in Sanyi Garden are similar to each other and have a close relationship, and they jointly preside over Sanyi Garden.
The three women are all of the same generation as Li Xing. They have outstanding looks and are sought after by young talents from the three families. They have always been very proud and usually do not even look at Li Xing, a loser with no future.
When Li Xing was sighing, the store clerk had already turned around. He pulled Li Xing and said with a smile: "I have told the shopkeeper that we are in need of a fireman. He usually does the work of chopping and carrying water. Can you do it?"
Li Xing thought for a while and asked: "How much money can I have every month?"
"Five hundred bucks a month, this is already the best price." The man laughed, "My salary is only seven hundred bucks."
Five hundred dollars was enough to buy rice grains. Li Xing agreed immediately: "Okay, thank you man, I am willing."
In this way, Li Xing became a fireman in Fuguiju, earning 500 yuan a month. With this salary, he could buy about 500 kilograms of white rice.
The shop assistant brought Li Xing to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper had a rich look on his face and was looking down at the abacus. He didn't even look at Li Xing and waved his hand directly: "You go and make arrangements."
The shop clerk nodded and bowed in agreement, and proudly took Li Xing to the backyard of Fuguiju. The thirty to forty meter wide yard was filled with wood. In the middle, there was an old tree root covered with
Cut it flat and use it for chopping firewood.
The shop assistant pointed to the firewood all over the courtyard and said: "The restaurant's business is very good. It needs three thousand kilograms of firewood every day. It is not a heavy job. However, after chopping the firewood, you must also fill the thirty large water tanks in the yard with water.
Remember, you have to fill them all, can you do it?"
The store clerk's tone was obviously condescending. Li Xing didn't care at all and smiled slightly: "I can do it."
"Then let's get started! Wages are paid every ten days!" The store clerk left without giving any instructions. Another customer came to the store, and he had to greet them.
Li Xing had done a lot of work in his previous life. For him, splitting firewood did not have much technical content. He thought to himself: "It will take me three to four hours to chop three thousand kilograms of firewood. Fortunately, I have already practiced the first level of blood training, so I won't be able to do it."
Too tired."
He placed a piece of dead wood on the root of the tree, then raised the long-handled ax and chopped it down hard.
"Snapped!"
The firewood was easily split in half, and Li Xing just chopped it down one after another. He didn't feel anything after splitting ten sticks, and he didn't feel anything after splitting thirty sticks. But after splitting a hundred sticks, Li Xing felt his arms
His muscles were so sore that he could hardly lift the axe.
The originally white and tender palms were bruised with several large blood blisters, which caused excruciating pain at the slightest touch.
"The blood energy cannot open up the meridians of the palm, so it cannot be protected, so blisters will appear." Li Xing thought, dropped the ax and prepared to rest for a while.
Sitting on the root of a tree, Li Xing took out the purse from his arms. In the purse, there was an unnamed bead left by Li Xing's mother. That day, Li Xing discovered that this bead could heal wounds, and now, he wants to
Make sure of this.
Li Xing held the purse between his palms, then closed his eyes and concentrated on whether the beads could heal the wound again.
One minute, two minutes, about three or four minutes later, a strange energy slowly poured from his purse into Li Xing's palm. This energy was indescribable. Wherever it went, Li Xing felt...
The blood blisters on the palms disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye and returned to their original state.
About ten minutes later, Li Xing spread his hands and saw that his palms were white and tender. There were no blood blisters. He was overjoyed: "This bead is really a treasure!"
After discovering that beads could heal injuries, Li Xing suddenly thought about whether he could use beads to make some money and support his family, so that he no longer had to earn wages here. But as soon as this idea came up, he was immediately killed.
"No! If someone finds out about this treasure, they will be guilty of it, and even their lives will not be saved! You must not tell anyone about the pearl." Thinking of this, Li Xing said seriously.
Collect the beads on the ground and put them close to your body.
Perhaps because of the energy flowing into his body, Li Xing felt that his arms had regained strength and continued to chop wood.
Two hundred, three hundred. When more than four hundred firewoods were chopped, Li Xing estimated that the task of chopping firewood was completed, so he started to carry water again. He carried a wooden bucket in each hand, and each wooden bucket was heavy.
It is thick and weighs more than one hundred kilograms when filled with water.
Thirty large vats required at least 400 buckets of water, and Li Xing had to carry them back and forth 200 times. Such intense work once again caused blood blisters on his palms.
