Chapter 111: Muscle-relaxing Pill, Improves the Willow Muscle Realm

Baihu Hall is located at the intersection of Yongchang Street and Heping Street. Chen Jie wants to return to the residence arranged for him by Peng Shizhong.

You have to cross Heping Street and half of the big vegetable market.

Heping Street is Zheng Chuan's place, and all the people there are big businessmen.

Most of them are silk shops and silver shops. The architecture here is also very exquisite, and many of them are two-story buildings.

It is very quiet here during the day, but at night, it becomes quite lively.

Chen Jie looked out of the car window and saw a building with bright lights, as if there was a constant stream of people coming and going during the day.

Next to this store are silver shops, high-end silk shops, or antique shops. When other shops are closed, their lights are still on.

In this dark night, it is like a firefly, luring people around.

Chen Jie asked: "Si Xi, where is this?"

After hearing this, Si Xi immediately said, "Oh, this is Second Master's Chuanhe Baoju."

"casino?"

Chen Jie asked, and Si Xi said, "Yes, Fifth Master, do you want to play a couple of rounds?"

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "No."

Si Xi said, "Oh, that's a pity. There are many ways to play in Erye's casino, including dominoes, dice, pot-throwing, cricket fighting, cockfighting, etc., and there are singing and dancing performances every night."

"What about the silk and silver shops around here?"

Si Xi said, "You are talking about these shops. They are all businesses that Second Master has invested in. The prices of these shops will increase by 20% at night."

After hearing this, Chen Jie nodded and said, "Second brother is a good businessman."

Si Xi was stunned. He didn't expect that just by mentioning it, this Fifth Master would know that it was a profitable business. He couldn't help but be curious and asked with the intention of testing him, "How did Fifth Master know how to make money?"

After asking this question, he felt like laughing. He was really stupid. Would the Second Master of the White Tiger Hall do a business that would lose money?
And they dare to open it at night, it is obvious that they do so to make money!

When Wu Ye talked about making money, he was probably just guessing.

But unexpectedly, Chen Jie smiled and said, "Opening a store selling high-premium products in a casino will definitely make money. To make money, there must be wins and losses. Losing is a big deal, but for those who win, many will buy things to celebrate out of joy. It doesn't matter if these things are a little more expensive at this time."

"At this time, there are only a few stores open on this street, so people will definitely buy from them. Then my second brother will make money."

It has to be said that Zheng Chuan also has a good business sense.

Chen Jie was just casually saying something that people in later generations would understand, but Si Xi opened his mouth in surprise. He only knew that the silver shop and silk store next to the casino made money, but he never thought about how they made money.

Now, after Chen Jie's guidance, he suddenly understood, but he was inexplicably surprised at Chen Jie. This Fifth Master actually saw through the profit-making method behind this casino at a glance. He is really not an ordinary person. His own grandfather had done something to figure out the profit-making method of the Second Master.

However, after studying for a long time, I finally concluded that these gamblers are all rich people with strong spending power, so casinos can attract rich people, and high consumption will naturally lead to good sales.

But after what this Fifth Master said, it turned out that there was also the psychological changes that gamblers experience after winning money.

This Fifth Master actually considered this level, amazing...

The carriage continued to move slowly forward, and Si Xi had already looked up to Chen Jie in his heart.

In the past, I only thought that this Fifth Master who came from the countryside was just lucky to be favored by the hall master, who adopted him as his son. He was like a country chicken turning into a phoenix and ascended to fame overnight.

But after what happened just now, he discovered that this Fifth Master might also be talented in business.

Walking through Heping Street, there were very few people on the street. Even in the city, the prosperity at night could not be compared with that of later generations.

Especially when you get to the streets near the big vegetable market, it is very quiet and many people are asleep. This is because there are many small business owners here. Vegetable sellers usually go to bed early and get up even earlier.

Chen Jie looked at the deserted street and said, "Si Xi, is it always so deserted at night?"

Si Xi heard this and said, "It's a bit quiet here in the big vegetable market, but it's convenient for you to rest."

"If you want to have some fun at night, you can go to Yongchang Street. There are theaters and libraries there, so it will be more lively at night."

"Ahem...I heard there's a Yihonglou in our city?"

Chen Jie cleared his throat and Si Xi turned to look at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just asking casually."

Chen Jie really didn't have any ideas. It was mainly because when he came here, Wu Zhong and Bai talked about Yihong Tower, which made him itchy and curious.

This is just like watching CDs as a kid. The more you tell them not to watch them, doesn't their curiosity grow stronger?
As for ideas, Chen Jie guaranteed that he had none.

Si Xi said, "Yihonglou is not here, it's on South Street, it's not under the jurisdiction of the Fishermen's Gang or the Canal Gang. Fifth Master, are we going there now?"

"No, no need."

Chen Jie got off the carriage, took his spear from the shaft and said, "Thank you very much today."

Si Xi nodded to Chen Jie and pointed to a house. Chen Jie knocked on the door and a voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

It’s Xiaohu’s voice.

"I!"

The door opened, and Xiaohu saw Chen Jie and said, "Brother, you're back."

Chen Jie turned around to greet Si Xi and invited him in, but Si Xi declined, "No, Fifth Master. I have to go back today to report. I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back tomorrow to pick you up."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "No need. Go back and tell my elder brother that I am familiar with this route after walking it once. I can go to Baihu Hall by myself tomorrow."

Si Xi said, "Well, I will go back and report the truth to Master Feng. Master Wu will take his leave."

The carriage drove away, and Chen Jie and Xiao Hu entered the yard. Xiao Hu said, "Master, this yard is great, much better than our house. It's all made of blue bricks. Look at the wall."

Xiaohu excitedly patted the blue brick wall with his hands.

In the past, Chen Jie's home in Xiantao Village had a courtyard wall made of a fence made of branches, and the house itself was made of yellow mud and covered with straw. It was quite simple.

But the small courtyard given by Peng Shizhong was made entirely of blue bricks. It was not big, but very stylish.

Xiaohu was very excited. It was not like he had never seen a nice house before. The Baihu Hall was very grand, but Xiaohu had no feeling for it. However, this ordinary courtyard, which was not shabby at best, made Xiaohu extremely happy.

The reason is very simple, this belongs to my brother Jiu Si.

Moreover, I have a small side room here to live in, which is almost my own.

This way you will have a stronger sense of belonging.

Chen Jie looked at the small courtyard. It was not big, a small quadrangle with three rooms and a kitchen.

There is a well in the courtyard, and next to the well there is a big phoenix tree, which symbolizes the landing of the phoenix and good luck.

There is also a small flat martial arts training ground in the courtyard. It should have been a vegetable garden in the past, but it was later decorated and paved with blue bricks.

This made it convenient for Chen Jie to practice martial arts, but unfortunately without the small yard, it was inconvenient for Su Yunjin to grow vegetables.

Well, the yard is a little small, but it's okay. As a place to stay, it's OK.

As for the future, Chen Jie will definitely work hard to move to a bigger house, but this place is still a good place to settle down for now.

"time to eat!"

Chen Jie was touring the yard with Xiaohu when Su Yunjin poked his head out from the kitchen.

Chen Jie saw this and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my lady."

"It's not hard, Huzi, put the table down."

"Hey!"

Xiaohu immediately went to get a table. The weather was not cold at this time of year, so they ate in the courtyard.

Everyone brought a small stool and ate noodles and braised meat sauce today.

Chen Jie looked at the large bowl of boiled noodles and said, "Madam, are you used to it here?"

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "Not bad. The brothers in the fishing gang take good care of us. Besides, there is a vegetable market not far away, so it is very convenient to buy vegetables."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Really? Just get used to it."

Chen explained and started eating.

"Well, this tofu is good."

Chen Jie said while eating tofu. After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Oh, this tofu was sent by the tofu shop not far from the door!"

"Sent?"

Chen Jie was a little surprised. This thing can be given as a gift?

Su Yunjin said, "Well, when I went to buy it today, the boss had sold out all his tofu, and only had this one piece left that was not in a block. He gave it to me and told me to come back after I had eaten it."

Chen Jie said: "Well, buy more next time. This tofu is delicious."

Su Yunjin nodded.

After a full meal, Su Yunjin cleaned up the dishes. Xiaohu wanted to help, but Su Yunjin pushed him out of the kitchen and said, "No, you men should take care of yourselves."

After hearing this, Xiaohu didn't know what to say.

Chen Jie said: "Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the White Tiger Hall. You need to improve your strength quickly and reach the level of skin polishing!"

Xiaohu nodded after hearing this.

At night, Su Yunjin tiptoed out of Ruirui's room and finally coaxed the little girl to sleep.

Chen Jie was lying on the bed, looking at the lady who came in and said, "Madam, you can't spoil that little girl like this. I can only sleep after she sleeps every day."

Su Yunjin said: "Take it easy. This is a new environment and Ruirui is a little reluctant to get used to his bed."

As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes.

Chen Jie felt a soft body crawling into his bed. Hugging this body, a woman's voice said, "Husband."

"Ok?"

Chen Jie responded, and the woman said, "I'm a little scared!"

"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"

Chen Jie asked in confusion.

"I'm afraid I'm used to your kindness. What should I do if one day you no longer love me?"

"Haha, nonsense, how could I not love you."

"But……"

"No but..."

"Ah, my husband, please...be gentle..."

……

There was no conversation all night, and in the early morning, the voice of intelligence rang out.

[Today's intelligence has been updated (level 2)]

[1. Today you arrive at Mianshui County and get intelligence. Mianshui County is located in the heart of the Jianghan Plain, with the Mianshui River to the north, the Yangtze River to the south, Hanyang Prefecture to the east, and Jingzhou to the west. It has developed water transportation and thriving commerce. It is a wealthy place. There are many gangs in the city, and it is difficult to gain a foothold! ]

[2. Today you enter the White Tiger Hall and obtain information. The White Tiger Hall is the first hall of the Fishermen's Gang. It is a thorn in the eyes of Nan Batian, but he dares not interfere too much. The leader of the Cao Gang has repeatedly sent out recruitment to Peng Shizhong. Therefore, Peng Shizhong has an extraordinary status in the Fishermen's Gang, second only to the leader.]

[3. Today you met Peng Shizhong and got information. Peng Shizhong has been very fond of listening to operas recently, especially an opera singer named Huadie. Therefore, the woman looks very similar to his deceased junior sister.]

[4. You practiced the "Thirteen Spears to Break the Disaster" today and obtained information. This spear technique was developed during the Song Dynasty. It was the top spear technique at the time. Few people could match it if it could perform thirteen moves at the same time. The last seven spears were once passed down to the famous general Gao Chong. He was so skilled in fighting that he could defeat any enemy in battle!]

[5. Because you concentrated on practicing spear today and obtained intelligence, you were able to break the catastrophe with thirteen spears. This was born out of emotion. Once you have completed the thirteen spears, you will be able to break the catastrophe and become a top-notch master in the world. When practicing, if you put your emotions into it, you will get twice the result with half the effort.]

Chen Jie opened his eyes and looked at the information updated today.

Today's intelligence is quite interesting.

The first point, needless to say, is about the location of Mianshui County. It is blessed by nature and is a place with developed water transportation. Therefore, it has developed commerce and a prosperous economy. It is not a poor place.

No wonder it can support so many gangs.

The second one talks about the situation of Baihu Hall. Baihu Hall has always been feared by other gang members because of the feud between Peng Shizhong and gang leader Nan Batian, but they can do nothing about it. The reason is very simple. If the Yu Gang dares to be unfair to Baihu Hall, the Cao Gang will open their arms to welcome Peng Shizhong!

It is also a large hall with five to six hundred people, plus a master of Hua Jin. It is impossible for the Cao Gang not to be tempted by such a big piece of fat meat.

So even though the gang leader Nan Batian disliked Peng Shizhong and the White Tiger Hall, he couldn't get rid of the White Tiger Hall.

The third one looks like a little scandal about Peng Shizhong, who is supporting an actor.

This is normal. Nowadays, old men like to support actors, just like the big men in later generations like to support entertainment stars.

However, Hua Die unexpectedly looks very similar to Peng Shizhong's former junior sister, and Peng Shizhong is so infatuated with her. Moreover, Peng Shizhong has never married in his entire life. Combining all this information, Chen Jie suspects that Peng Shizhong has been hurt in love and has never married because of his junior sister.

However, I am currently in a low position and my words do not count, so I should stay away from the big guys' affairs. It is enough for me to know about them, but not to speak out loud, and certainly not to get too involved.

The other two pieces of information are about "Thirteen Guns to Break the Disaster". This shooting technique seems to be very difficult. The evaluation given by the intelligence is that if you learn it, you can become the best in the world.

This is the best in the world, not just the best in Mianshui County. He is very big in the world. It seems that his marksmanship is quite good.

Another thing is that this spear technique was actually developed during the Song Dynasty, which is the previous dynasty.

With this explanation, we can understand why Su Dongpo's poems are included in the spear techniques as folk songs.

The Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Secret and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley that he had learned could be traced back to before the Tang Dynasty. It seemed that the person who compiled the spear technique accidentally obtained the Qingming method, and then relied on his own world-class martial arts concepts to condense and condense this spear technique.

[My dream is broken at five o'clock in the morning, and my heart is about to break. The sound of the horn blows away the plum blossom moon. Wandering soul! ]

If you condense all the connotations of Qingming into one shot, you can understand it.

And this information mentioned a person, Gao Chong!
Chen Jie knew this man. He was the most powerful general under Yue Fei and invincible in the world.

In the army formation, he killed all the Jin people who were no match for him, forcing Jin Wushu to call him: The Overlord is reborn!

Such a person actually only learned the last seven guns. No wonder the intelligence said that if one learns all thirteen guns, he can be a top-notch master in the world. This top-notch master may not only be good at military operations, but also at martial arts!

Yes, someone who can condense a move of the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon into a shot and has such insights into martial arts, how could he be an ordinary person!
How could the shooting skills he created be just ordinary shooting skills?

Chen Jie gently pulled out the arm that Su Yunjin was resting her head on. Su Yunjin had her back to Chen Jie and felt his arm being pulled away. Her eyebrows twitched and she woke up, but she didn't say anything.

She was afraid that every time her husband woke up, she would wake up too, and her husband would worry about her.

She didn't want to bring even the slightest worry to her husband. Her husband was already under enough pressure, and she couldn't drag him down.

Chen Jie stood up, put on his clothes quietly, looked at Su Yunjin who was still "soundly asleep" on the bed, covered her with a quilt, then stood up and put on his shoes.

Su Yunjin didn't open his eyes. He listened to the sound of the door closing quietly without saying anything.

He didn't get up, but closed his eyes and practiced the breathing method of Yangchun Jue in bed.

She was afraid that if she stood up, her husband would see her and distract him.

……

Outside the house, Chen Jie stretched his muscles and stretched his body, then picked up the spear he had taken from Peng Shizhong. The spear was made of good material, with a ash wood shaft and a fine steel tip.

Yes, who would dare to mess with the spear given to the hall master for practicing martial arts?

Chen Jie adjusted his breathing, began to awaken his muscles with the Yangchun technique, and began to keep his whole body in an excited state.

Then he took a horse stance using the Water Control Palm and grabbed the tail end of the two-meter-long spear with one hand.

My arms tensed up immediately. Anyone who understands the principle of leverage knows that this way of holding a gun by the tail end will result in an extremely short lever arm, making the gun extremely heavy.

This is a great test of arm strength.

Holding it like this, even with Chen Jie's muscular body, after about two quarters of an hour, his arms felt a little sore. If you look closely, you can see his muscles trembling slightly.

It took about another quarter of an hour.

He felt that he was almost done warming up, so he took out a small bottle from his arms and poured out a pill, which was the [Relaxing Pill] that Peng Shizhong had given him.

A special auxiliary medicine for breaking through from the Flesh Training Realm to the Willow Tendon Realm.

A [Muscle Relaxing Pill] was thrown into his mouth, and immediately a medicinal force dissolved in his mouth. Chen Jie swallowed the medicine, then picked up the spear and shook it, then began to practice.

I saw Chen Jie dancing with his spear:
It is as long as a dragon emerging from the sea, sometimes crouching, sometimes rising and falling.

It is as short as a long snake, sometimes flashing a cold light, sometimes holding back.

At this time, the bright moonlight was spreading to the earth and shining on his body. He was seen wearing black coarse cloth, his body was as strong as a pine tree, and his spirit was as strong as a bull.

With a spear in his hand, he was like a general fighting on the battlefield. A flash of cold light came first, and then the spear shot out like a dragon!

扎！
The spear stabbed hard into the paulownia tree not far away, instantly making a big hole.

At this time, Chen Jie was steaming all over, his muscles and bones were buzzing, and he felt that his muscles were trembling all over, as if they were madly absorbing the power of the medicine.

At this moment, his strength is increasing little by little.

Putting down his spear, Chen Jie did not dare to stop for a moment. He used the Yangchun Jue to activate the Water Control Palm and began to practice palm techniques in the yard. His palm techniques rose with the wind, like a turbulent sea or an undercurrent beneath the wind and waves, concealing a mystery.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes urgent, sometimes stopping, it was truly surging and the palm power was amazing.

clap clap clap...

Chen Jie waved his palms, the fastest way for a warrior to absorb the elixir is to absorb it quickly through martial arts, getting the whole body moving, absorbing the medicinal power fastest and strongest.

When Chen Jie was practicing his palm skills, Xiaohu came out of the house. Seeing Chen Jie practicing, he did not interrupt him. He stood quietly by the side, took a horse stance, and started practicing as well.

Brother Jiu Si is right. I am too weak. How can I help Brother Jiu Si?

He practiced silently. In fact, he was very hardworking, and his talent was better than Chen Jie's.

Chen Jie was practicing palm techniques, and when he got tired of it, he switched to spear techniques.

He practiced like this until dawn and when the sound of business hawkers could be heard outside the door, Chen Jie finally absorbed all the power of the medicine.

Chen Jie calmed down the effect of the medicine.

After checking the progress of his skills, he found that after a night of training, he was only a little bit away from the Liujin realm. If he relied on training without the help of elixirs, it would probably take at least three months to break through this tiny distance.

But the fact that Peng Shizhong gave him two [Muscle Relaxing Pills] meant that he hoped he could make a breakthrough quickly.

Chen Jie felt that after taking this muscle-relaxing pill in the evening, the medicinal power would be enough for him to break through the Liujin realm.

My adoptive father also said that with my current strength, I am not qualified to be his adopted son. So, my adoptive father meant that in the adoption ceremony two days later, I must cultivate my dark energy and reach the Liujin realm level before I can become his adopted son.

After thinking this through, Chen Jie put away his spear, and seeing Xiao Hu who had also put away his horse stance, he asked, "How is it?"

Xiaohu said: "We should be able to break through the skin grinding stage in the next two days."

Chen Jie said: "Well, let's go. The two sisters haven't woken up yet. Let's go out and eat something and bring some to his sisters."

The two went out and found that the big vegetable market was indeed bustling. It was just after five in the morning and the streets were full of people buying vegetables.

People of this era go to bed early and set up stalls early.

The big market has the most vendors, so there are many breakfast stalls. Chen Jie and Xiao Hu walked along the way and saw all kinds of snacks, mainly noodles, and then small wontons. Almost no one eats fried dough sticks, but there are a few people making noodle nests.

Chen Jie and others strolled along the way, had a meal, and also got to know the customs and culture of the big vegetable market.

Not long after they walked away, Chen Jie and others saw a store with a long queue.

There are two words written on it: tofu!

Ok?
When Chen Jie and the other person arrived here, they found that all the people queuing here were men, all of them looking forward to it.

Seeing that the store was not open yet, someone muttered, "Why isn't the tofu beauty open yet today?"

"Why don't we just sleep in?"

After hearing this man's complaints, someone immediately became unhappy and criticized him at the top of his voice.

Originally, this sounded harsh, but no one refuted it. Some people even said, "If you like to eat, eat. If you don't like to eat, get out of here. Don't stand in front of me."

"Yes, yes."

"If you don't want to eat it, get out of here. We won't give you our sister Xishi's tofu."

"Hey, you guys, I was just saying it casually, why are you like this?"

"No way."

……

A group of people were talking, and that person was unable to raise his head.

Xiao Hu stood aside and asked stupidly, "Is this tofu so delicious?"

"Brother Jiusi."

Xiaohu looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie smiled and said, "Not necessarily taking advantage of me."

"Hmm? If the Tofu Shop doesn't eat tofu, what do they eat?"

Xiaohu asked doubtfully.

Although Chen Jie didn't say anything, he already understood 70% of it. He didn't expect that such a business would exist in this era.

At this time in the tofu shop.

Several guys were busy taking away the tofu packages, then pouring in brine, kneading the tofu, putting some tofu into the mold and compacting it to make tofu.

Others are not pressed and become tofu pudding.

While these guys were busy, a plump, charming woman wearing a colorful cheongsam was sitting at the table with her chin resting on one hand.

The slender and well-proportioned white legs were crossed under the cheongsam skirt.

The clothes on her upper body were stretched so tightly that her chest seemed to be about to burst.

She is truly charming and enchanting.

Behind her, there was an old man with a big pipe on his waist and an account book in his hand. He said, "Boss, we received ten orders this month, including one from the owner of Hongtai Cloth Shop... We earned a total of 8,000 taels of silver. After deducting the commission, we made a total profit of 3,000 taels."

"Oh, this business is getting harder and harder now."

After listening to the old man's report, the woman complained.

At this time, a waiter came up and brought a bowl of fresh tofu pudding with some red liquid poured on it.

The woman stirred it, scooped out a spoonful, put it in her mouth, leaving red juice on the corners of her mouth.

The white tofu brain and the red juice look like human brains, eerie and scary.

The woman took a bite of tofu pudding, and the old man continued, "By the way, Boss, a man came yesterday and wanted to pay two thousand taels to kill a member of the fishing gang."

"Two thousand taels?"

The woman narrowed her eyes and asked, "Manager level?"

The old man said: "No, he is Peng Shizhong's adopted son."

"Cough cough..."

The woman was immediately choked: "Did you answer it?"

The old man said, "Not yet, so I came here today to ask the head of the family."

After hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"

The old man said, "In our black market business, we have always dared to do business with anyone who dares to bid, but Peng Shizhong is not easy to mess with. Your subordinates are undecided."

The woman narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, that's right. Peng Shizhong is not easy to mess with, and his adopted sons are also very powerful. If you want to kill them, you have to at least send out Class A assassins. But those guys are unlikely to offend Peng Shizhong for just a few thousand taels of silver. So who are they going to kill? Feng Xuan?"

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not Feng, Zheng, Lu, or Deng. It's Peng Shizhong's new adopted son. It's said that he will be holding a ceremony in two days!"

The woman said, "Oh, so you haven't officially accepted it yet?"

"Well, no."

"What's your name and how strong is it?"

"I checked and found out that his name is Chen Jiusi, and he is from Xiantao Town. He is also Bai Wenjing's apprentice."

"Bai Wenjing, he's an old man. It's really hard to bear for him to lose his apprentice."

"How is the strength?"

"He is in the Flesh Training Realm, and he is quite powerful. He once defeated Yu Biao of the Cao Gang in the ring."

"Oh, he's still a young hero."

The woman narrowed her eyes even more, like a venomous snake, and said, "Haha, you haven't officially displayed your power yet, and your strength is only at the Flesh Training Realm. Okay, we can do this deal, but two thousand taels is too little."

"I asked him to increase it to three thousand taels."

The woman muttered, "Three thousand taels, that should be enough. Those Class C killers should be interested."

After saying this, the woman said, "When the money is in place, we'll put down the roster."

The woman stood up and said, "Hey guys, we're open for business!"

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

As the guys were talking, they prepared tofu pudding. Only tofu pudding would be sold in the morning. The old man nodded, took the roster and left.

Watching the old man leave, the woman sighed and said, "Ah, I am such a miserable person. I sell tofu and have to manage the fighting and killing in the martial arts world. It really makes me worry."

“It’s hard to make money.”

As she spoke, the woman fixed her hair and asked the guys to open the door.

The next moment the door opened, and the people outside immediately started to make a noise: "Wow, the tofu beauty is out..."

The woman walked out with graceful steps, waving a beauty fan.

He looked around, waved his hand and said, "Open for business, come and eat tofu!"

Hearing this, all the men seemed to be excited: "I'll have a bowl, I'll have a bowl too."

Looking at the crazy man, the woman laughed and said, "Haha, wait a minute, wait a minute, we have everything, we have everything."

The woman waved the beauty fan in her hand and laughed sweetly.

That curvy figure and the bold dress had a great impact in that era. The kind of clothing similar to the modern cheongsam was something that women of that era dared not wear.

And the way she was dressed really made her look deadly.

Seeing the men rushing over, the women around all looked at them with hostility.

Bah, vixen.

The women looked at these women and smiled.

The men squeezed hard to get a bite of tofu. Fortunately, the guys in the tofu shop were all capable.

No matter how crowded the crowd is, men cannot squeeze into the core circle.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaohu said foolishly: "Brother Jiusi, is this tofu really so delicious? Do you want to buy a bowl for Ruirui?"

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Rui Rui may not like this tofu. Okay, let's go."

Chen Jie did not continue looking. The woman did have a good figure, and her attire was considered bold in that era, so it would attract a group of inexperienced people. But he was an experienced person, and not to mention exposing such a little, he had even seen bikinis before.

But it’s really big and spectacular!

Chen Jie took a quick glance.

Xiaohu said, "Brother, what are you looking at? You want to eat tofu too, do you want me to queue up and buy it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, brother, I don't eat tofu!"

Chen Jie emphasized his own purity.

Xiao Hu said, "But you said yesterday that their tofu was well made."

"I like to eat that tofu, not this one."

“But they are a family.”

Chen Xiaohu was indeed mentally retarded and knew nothing about women. He didn't understand why the tofu shop was so popular.

But Chen Jie understood, but he didn't want to get involved.

After Chen Jie and the other man left, the woman looked over here. After all, among the men who walked through her tofu shop, very few would look at the tofu and not buy some.

So she took a closer look.

But she didn't care. Her tofu business was so popular that she didn't care about one or two customers.

And she sold tofu just to prove to some damn bastard that she could support herself without killing people.

As for how much money you make from selling tofu, it doesn’t matter.

She gets angry whenever she thinks of that man. He deserves to be wanted by the court!

Chen Jie came to a small noodle stall, sat down, ordered two bowls of noodles with soft meat, and began to eat with great relish. When he was full, Chen Jie went to buy some buns and brought them back. His wife and the little foodie had not eaten yet.

After finishing all this, Chen Jie returned and found that the tofu shop was closed, with a sign saying "Sold Out"

This sells out really quickly. Then I saw a group of men carrying bowls of tofu pudding appearing at various snack stalls.

The tofu shop didn't even provide a place to eat breakfast, and Chen Jie also asked around and found out that a bowl of tofu pudding cost ten cents, which was more than three times more expensive than the three cents a bowl in other places.

But there are just not enough to sell every day, which shows that the beauty economy is unlimited.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie returned home. His wife and little kid had already woken up.

When the little bean saw the big bun, he pounced on it directly. Chen Jie felt very happy seeing the little bean eating it so sweetly.

After eating, Chen Jie went to Baihu Hall.

The White Tiger Hall was preparing for a banquet when Chen Jie met Feng Xuan. Chen Jie asked, "Brother, is there anything I can help you with?"

Feng Xuan said: "Well, it's okay. You can have a good rest these two days. Don't worry about your relationship with Lao Liu. Godfather has arranged everything. You just need to wait for the banquet to take place on that day."

"Hmm? Old Six?"

Chen Jie was confused.

"Where did Lao Liu come from?"

Feng Xuan said: "You don't know, this time the foster father is going to adopt two foster sons, you and Lao Liu."

"Who is Lao Liu?"

Chen Jie asked, Feng Xuan said: "Zhou..."

"Brother Jiusi!"

Feng Xuan was just about to say Lao Liu's name when he saw someone greeting him from a distance, and then he saw Peng Shizhong accompanied by an old man and a young man coming out.

Seeing the young man Chen Jie and Xiao Hu were stunned: "Old Zhou!"

"Haha, it's me."

Zhou Chu was very happy, but at this moment, the old man next to him coughed lightly.

Zhou Chu immediately regained his serious expression. Chen Jie looked over and quickly saluted, "Greetings, Senior Sun."

You think who it is? This old man is none other than Sun Buer, the former escort chief of Shunfeng Escort Agency.

He was the old escort leader Sun who presided over the Baozheng War and had a good relationship with Du Dajin of the Jiangnan Longmen Escort Agency.

Sun Buer smiled and said, "Chen Jiusi, I know you, a young hero. Master Peng has a son who is as good as me. Master Peng will have to worry about you more in the future."

Peng Shizhong heard this and said, "Haha, Zhou Chu is also kind-hearted and a good candidate."

After hearing this, Chen Jie and Zhou Chu's expressions froze. Isn't praising someone for his kindness the same as scolding him?

Is it that there are no merits to be found in other aspects and we can only praise his kindness?

However, Chen Jie did not expect that Zhou Chu would actually worship Peng Shizhong as his godfather. What’s more important is that this boy’s father-in-law is actually Sun Buer of Shunfeng Escort Agency.

But after thinking about it more carefully, Chen Jie understood.

I have always overlooked the fact that Zhou Chu was here to gild his reputation. He stayed in Yulan for less than a year and was then transferred to Mianshui County.

You can imagine that this relationship is very strong.

But Chen Jie didn't expect that his connections were so strong. He was actually the son-in-law of Shunfeng Escort Agency.

The Shunfeng Escort Agency is no ordinary company. It is one of the most powerful forces in Mianshui County, and is related to the Longmen Escort Agency in Jiangnan. This makes the old escort chief very prestigious.

The old escort leader has two sons and one daughter.

The old man was also very smart and knew that eggs should not be put in one basket, so he arranged his two sons and one daughter in this way.

The eldest son is in the Cao Gang and is now also a manager. The eldest son-in-law was sent to the Fishing Gang to be adopted as someone's son.

The youngest son stayed in the escort agency to inherit the family business.

No matter how the Mian River changes its flag, his Shunfeng Escort Agency will surely remain standing!
This is the old man's way of doing things.

Old escort leader Sun said a few words to Peng Shizhong, and then prepared to take Zhou Chu away.

Zhou Chu was serious and acted like a person with strict upbringing. When the old escort leader Sun was about to leave, Zhou Chu turned around and lip-synced, "Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll meet up, let's have a drink..."

"Cough cough!"

Old Escort Leader Sun coughed lightly again, and Zhou Chu immediately tensed up and followed the old man away.

Chen Jie couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression.

After exchanging a few words with Peng Shizhong, and seeing that Peng Shizhong had nothing to tell him, he left.

After returning home, Chen Jie practiced spear and palm techniques.

The practice lasted for a whole day, and after a night, Chen Jie got up and practiced shooting.

Normal warm-up, holding the gun. Due to the improvement of his physical fitness, Chen Jie could hold the gun longer today.

While Chen Jie was practicing shooting, Xiaohu also came out and started warming up.

After Chen Jie finished warming up, he took a [Muscle Relaxing Pill] and began to practice his spear skills frantically. He swung the spear in his hand as lightly as his arm. At the same time, the terrifying power of the medicine evaporated from Chen Jie's body.

The muscles in his body were trembling. Chen Jie felt that he was making a breakthrough and was about to break through the Dao Liujin realm and officially enter the dark energy level.

At this time, the black market.

Yu Biao's butler, wearing a fake beard, walked into Room No. 1, carrying a large package.

The skinny old man was still smoking his pipe. He glanced at Yu Biao's housekeeper and said, "Is the money ready?"

The butler nodded slightly, and the old man said, "Verify the capital!"

The butler opened the package, and inside was a neatly arranged stack of two thousand taels of silver notes, as well as some loose silver notes and silver.

The two thousand taels were the funds that Yu Biao approved before his death to find a killer to kill Wu Zhong.

The rest was the butler's own personal income. In order to repay Yu Biao's kindness, he took out all his money and was determined to kill Chen Jiusi.

The skinny old man said, "Leave a deposit of 1,500 taels and you can go."

The butler said, "Wait, I have a request."

The old man exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Speak."

"When I do it, I want to watch him die with my own eyes."

"this?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not easy."

"I can add money!"

“How much can you add?”

The housekeeper said, "Two hundred taels."

"Five hundred taels, if the deal is done, I'll have someone take you away. If the deal is not done, you can go back and wait for the news."

The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"

……

Brush brush!
Chen Jie didn't know that the assassination attempt against him was underway, or he was not in the mood to care about anything else at the moment.

He felt that his "Thirteen Guns to Break the Tribulation" was about to break through.

The gun rises like a dragon, but you should remain calm and not impatient!

The gun fell like a tiger's roar, and the power was balanced and unbiased.

With movement and stillness, wind and clouds rise, and cold light follows the sound of dragons and tigers.

Gun—done!

Snapped

Chen Jie fired a shot hard into the paulownia tree, and the next moment a hole was pierced through the tree, three inches deep into the wood.

At the same time, a heat was rising from Chen Jie's body.

He finally broke through!

Liujin Realm, accomplished!
