After returning home from the inner city, Chen Che began to practice Qigong with peace of mind.
Time passed day by day, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
It was almost as he expected. Under his plan, the customer flow of Zhang Ruoyuan's small restaurant increased significantly. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was bustling with people.
Zhang Ruoyuan also knew that he was short of money, so he had sent fifteen taels of silver one after another over the past half month, and attached detailed accounts.
…
This night.
Chen Che received another package sent by Zhang Ruoyuan.
I took it home and opened it. In addition to five taels of silver and the restaurant's accounts, there was also a letter.
"Brother Chen, you can see your words as your face..."
Chen Che took advantage of the moonlight and took a closer look.
The first thing mentioned in the letter was the housing problem in the inner city.
Due to the recent riots in outer cities, house prices in the inner city have soared. Zhang Ruoyuan said that he is still trying his best to find a house.
Next, he expressed his joy at the booming business and his gratitude to Chen Che.
At the end, he also wrote some prospects for the future.
After reading it, Chen Che put the letter away.
After more than half a month, he has already seen that Zhang Ruoyuan has a good way with people and is indeed a business material.
For example, he knows that he is short of money, so he gives himself a share every three to five.
For example, send yourself detailed accounts.
The former is the care between friends, and the latter is the settlement of accounts between brothers.
This way of getting along will make people feel very comfortable.
But the contents at the end of the letter made him feel a little worried.
Zhang Ruoyuan mentioned at the end of the letter that he wanted to expand his store and copy similar models to other Zhang stores...
They even asked him if there were any tips for running other types of stores in his miscellaneous books.
It was obvious that Zhang Ruoyuan was inspired by his ambition and wanted to do something big.
Chen Che also wants to make money, but he is also very sober at the same time.
Now he is collaborating with Zhang Ruoyuan personally, and the scope of cooperation is limited to small restaurants and teahouses, so it is quite pleasant.
But if the scope of cooperation is expanded, then his partners may have to change from Zhang Ruoyuan to the entire Zhang family.
This is almost inevitable.
Can the Zhang family give him 30% of the profits by then?
impossible.
Not to mention sharing the profits, it was pretty good if it didn't directly kill him.
After all, he is just a poor scholar from an outer city.
…
"I have to become stronger."
Chen Che whispered to himself.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Na Luo Xiong.
Luo Xiong is a warrior in the Iron Bone Realm. In order to win over him, the Zhang family did not hesitate to hook up with a daughter.
If he had that kind of strength, why should he be so afraid?
…
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to practice martial arts, so he simply climbed directly into the courtyard from the window.
Under the moonlight, he took off his coat, revealing his well-proportioned muscles.
Since he seldom basks in the sun, his skin color is white, resembling some little fresh meat in his previous life.
But he is no showman.
Walking to the corner of the courtyard, Chen Che casually picked up the large stone weighing a hundred kilograms and placed it in the center of the courtyard, and began to practice the Mountain Cracking Palm.
In fact, he had already practiced the breathing method to the end three days ago.
Now he is performing the vomiting method under high pressure and does not cough at all.
As for his strength, he far exceeded the standard of lifting a hundred kilograms of stone locks with one arm.
…
"After the Qi and Blood Realm is the Copper Skin Realm... If you want to step into the Copper Skin Realm, you must have more advanced techniques."
Chen Che thought to himself while practicing the Pishan Palm.
In fact, it is considered good to place a Bronze Skin Realm warrior in Stone Fire City.
If you join the army, you will be directly at the level of captain of ten, and you can receive a military salary of five or six taels of silver a month.
If you want to make more money, a bronze-skin warrior can join a gang and become a small leader.
You can also go to a big family to work as a high-end nursing home, which not only includes food and accommodation, but is also very leisurely.
Most of the Bronze Skin Realm warriors in Stone Fire City live in the inner city, and their families have no worries about food and clothing.
…
After practicing until midnight, Chen Che returned to his room and fell asleep.
Three more days passed like this.
On this day, Chen Che returned home from shopping. Before he even entered the door, he heard hearty laughter coming from the small bungalow.
Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Chen Che felt happy!
"Uncle is out!"
Without any time to think, he hurriedly entered the house.
…
Inside the small bungalow.
Wang Zhen looked at the nephew in front of him and always felt that something was different from before.
But he couldn't tell exactly what was different.
"Is it because his temperament changed after seeing blood?"
Wang Zhen secretly groaned in his heart.
In fact, as soon as he came out, he immediately went to inquire about Liu Ergou.
But what he didn't expect was that Liu Ergou had been dead for more than half a month.
What made him even more unexpected was that after arriving at his sister's house, her sister actually told him that Liu Ergou was killed by his nephew, and that the government had not found out yet.
"If these scholars become ruthless, they will have nothing to do with martial arts practitioners like us."
Wang Zhen sighed secretly.
"Uncle, are you not suffering in there?"
Chen Che asked immediately after putting down the things in his hands.
"What can happen to me?
It’s just that I spent more money.”
Wang Zhen laughed.
Seeing Chen Che's expression of excitement and joy, he felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
Having been involved in gangs for so many years, he has seen too many dark things.
So every step he took, he was walking on thin ice, fearing that if he was not careful, he would be doomed.
Only at his sister's house could he completely let go of all his guard.
His sister and nephew are his only relatives in this world, and they are also the only two people who truly care about him and trust him from the bottom of their hearts.
Otherwise, how could you tell him something like murder so easily?
"The world is getting more and more chaotic...but no matter what, I have to protect my sister and nephew."
Wang Zhen swore secretly in his heart.
…
"Uncle, I want to join the Sirius Gang!"
Chen Che suddenly spoke at this moment.
Hearing this, the smile on Wang Zhen's face froze, and Wang Rou next to him was also stunned.
After a while, Wang Zhencai replied: "But our Tianlang Gang has no shortage of masters."
"I don't want to be a master."
Chen Che shook his head.
He had already figured it out. For him, the fastest way to obtain advanced skills was to join his uncle's Tianlang Gang.
"That……"
Wang Zhen couldn't recover for a while.
Chen Che explained: "Uncle, you may not believe it. During the time you were there, I practiced the breathing method you left behind, and I actually achieved some success...and my strength also increased a lot.
I'm probably a martial arts wizard!"
"Martial arts wizard?"
Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at his sister Wang Rou.
Wang Rou looked helpless and could only say: "Che'er's appetite has indeed increased a lot during this period..."
Before Wang Zhen could figure out the key to this, Chen Che said directly: "Uncle, come to the yard and I'll let you feel it."
Wang Zhen was also a little curious after hearing this, and immediately followed Chen Che to the small courtyard.
After the two of them stood still, he stretched out his palm and said with a smile: "Well, you punch me with all your strength first and let me see how much strength you have gained."
