Beiyin Great Sage
Chapter 521 Business
The members of the Giant Whale Gang wreaked havoc, leaving a mess all over Jimin Lane, and left cursing in the horrified eyes of everyone.
Only after they left did the residents dare to complain in low voices.
"I can still get it together with thirty yuan, but it will rise to fifty next month. How will I live?"
"It's okay for you. We are a family of three, even if we have children. It's hard for us to survive only if our father goes out to work alone."
"Don't the people from the yamen care about them?"
"I heard that the Yamen sold this place to the Giant Whale Gang. As long as there is no trouble, they can do whatever they like."
"ah!"
"Is there still this matter?"
Even inside the house, you can hear whispers outside.
Zhou Jia's face was gloomy, and he shook his hand with the long knife before calming down.
It is true that the Giant Whale Gang is a Jianghu gang, but they are also very particular. They will not kill the goose to retrieve the eggs, and they are even more afraid of forcing the refugees to rebel and cause trouble.
When the time comes, the court will not let them go.
Thirty, fifty, or even hundreds of dollars, as long as you find a regular long-term worker in the city and live frugally, it is not difficult to get it together.
certainly.
After paying the monthly payment, I am definitely not rich and my life is tight.
This is normal. As a tenant, you need to give 80% of the income to the owner. It is abnormal for the Giant Whale Gang not to severely exploit and treat the homeless people.
‘The weak will prey on the strong. Although this place is not as dangerous as the Ruins Realm, it is also filled with the exploitation of ordinary people by upper-class dignitaries and gangsters. ’
‘If you want not to be controlled by others, you have to become stronger! ’
"Six sons..."
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his muscles tense.
Unlike others, perhaps because of Ergou or perhaps because of previous offenses, Xu Liu was obviously targeting him.
Others asked for thirty pieces of gold, but he wanted one hundred.
The next days will definitely be difficult.
…………
Early autumn has passed and the weather is getting colder.
The narrow house became a perfect place to isolate the coolness. The hot water boiled and the white smoke drifted away, adding a sense of warmth.
Zhou Yi, who was bare-chested, had a solemn expression on his face, waving the long sword in his hand, the wind whistling, already quite powerful compared to the beginner who had just practiced it.
"call……"
"Whoops!"
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yi, whose chest and abdomen were rising and falling rapidly with white smoke coming out of his body, stopped and looked towards the sea of consciousness light curtain.
Mountain Climbing: Mastery (37/100)
Breakthrough (41/100)
Splitting Wind Knife Technique: Proficient (65/100)
Knife skills add another level of experience. This kind of visible progress makes people full of motivation. Sometimes it is even more important than talent.
Putting down the knife with a satisfied look on his face, Zhou Yi took three meat patties, shredded them and put them in a bowl, then lifted the kettle and filled the bowl with hot water.
When the meatloaf is soaked in hot water, the oil and water inside slowly seeps out and floats to the surface.
The minced meat exudes an alluring aroma.
"Um!"
He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, with a look of enjoyment on his face. He picked up the chopsticks on the side and pulled it a few times. After the oil and water were fully mixed, he slowly tasted it.
The meat, cake, and water blend together in the mouth, and the complex taste stimulates the taste buds that have been thirsty for a long time. Before it enters the stomach, the intestines and stomach can't wait to start peristalsis.
"Gulu...Gulu..."
"Cool!"
Six pieces of cake, three bowls of water, and finally licking the oil stains on the bowl, Zhou Yi walked back comfortably, his body lazy and unwilling to move.
I had eaten many exquisite snacks when I was on Earth, but I had never been so satisfied.
The meat is not fine and the noodles are not good.
smell,
But it is unforgettable.
"If you have enough food, drink, and energy, you can try to clear the level once a day. The Splitting Wind Knife Technique can add up to two experience points, and most of them can add one experience point. Plus, there is no time to practice during the period of collecting herbs."
"Two months!"
"If you hold on for a while longer, there will be a way out of here."
"Dong dong..."
"who?"
Zhou Yi opened his eyes and suddenly grasped the long knife beside him.
"Xiao Yi, it's me." Brother Qian's voice sounded next door:
"I need to see you for something, please open the door?"
"Come here."
Zhou Yi stood up, walked around, opened the door, and looked at the person:
"Is something wrong?"
Brother Qian is tall and tall, but he is very timid. Sister-in-law Qian has the final say in everything in the family. He is often said to be a coward and gives people the impression of being timid.
"laugh……"
Seeing Zhou Yi, Brother Qian didn't speak hastily. He sniffed first, looked curiously into the room, and said with envy:
"It smells so good. Did Xiao Yi eat meat?"
In Jimin Lane, there are not many households that can eat meat.
Well……
What a nose!
Zhou Yi’s expression was slightly stiff:
"I was greedy, so I bought a cheap meat pie to satisfy my hunger."
"It's best not to buy processed meat patties. Nine times out of ten, it's rotten meat. It's a trivial matter to make you feel upset after eating it." Brother Qian warned with a serious face:
"I only know one person who couldn't get up after eating something bad."
"Yes." Although the other party's words were unpleasant, Zhou Yi still nodded to express his gratitude:
"You mean, is there something wrong with Brother Qian?"
"Um."
Speaking of seriousness, Brother Qian subconsciously rubbed his hands and whispered:
"Actually, it was your sister-in-law who took care of a business recently. If Xiao Yi has some spare money, you might as well come over and have a chat."
"oh!"
Zhou Yi smiled:
"Congratulations. I don't know what kind of business it is. If you need it, I will definitely use it more."
"That's it...that's what happened." Brother Qian's face turned red:
"You know."
"What's going on?"
"That thing about men and women."
"What's going on between men and women?"
"That's it!"
"..."
Zhou Yi finally understood, opened his mouth, and looked at the other party with strange eyes:
"What about men and women?"
"That's it." Brother Qian nodded:
"It's not expensive, ten bucks a time."
The two repeated it several times like they were playing riddles. Brother Qian was no longer embarrassed at the beginning and explained straightforwardly:
"Your sister-in-law said she expected to borrow money for that matter. If you can't borrow a few dollars and don't ask for repayment, why not treat it as a business and see if anyone needs it."
"I think it makes sense."
There's a damn reason!
Zhou Yi was speechless in his heart and smiled dryly:
"I don't have any spare money now, I'm really sorry."
"No, it doesn't matter." Brother Qian waved his hands hastily and said:
"I know Xiao Yi has good taste and doesn't like your sister-in-law, but I still have a few in the house, and the daughter-in-law of the old Liu family and the daughter-in-law of the Xiao Wang family have also agreed to help..."
"Peng!"
Zhou Yi closed the door and spoke in a muffled voice:
"Brother Qian, go and ask elsewhere. I...I really don't have that skill."
"Your sister-in-law said that if you go, there will be a discount for the sake of the neighbors." Brother Qian still continued to sell loudly through the door.
"No need!"
Zhou Jia covered his ears:
"It's getting late. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Brother Qian finally stopped trying to persuade him. Only when people outside sighed and moved away did Zhou Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and poured cold water from the bucket in the corner of the room to wake up.
"What's going on!"
"This is really..."
"Why!"
"Beauty is like a wolf or a tiger, it can easily drain one's energy and break one's will. I must not be fooled and must exercise restraint!"
Zhou Yi secretly cheered himself up and suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
However, the Qian couple's business is indeed a necessity for many people, especially those who have finally settled down after experiencing many hardships. They don't mind taking care of it if they have spare money.
If he doesn't go, someone else will.
even.
Within a few days, thanks to Sister-in-law Qian's help, there were several young wives in the house who were having a hard time, and even many people from the city were attracted to the house.
Next door there is singing every night and business is booming.
The extremely poor sound insulation also caused Zhou Yi to suffer a lot. He had to bear the panda eyes for several days in a row, which almost put his practice progress on hold. It was even more torture for his spirit.

Oyster mushrooms and straw mushrooms are suitable for frying. They are wild game in the mountains. They have very few medicinal uses and are not expensive. They are purchased by many restaurants and shops, but these two are the most common in the mountains.
Pine mushrooms can be stewed and fried with meat, and can also be used for medicinal purposes. They are slightly more valuable and relatively rare.
Tiger palm and matsutake mushrooms greatly nourish the body.
Especially matsutake mushrooms, which mostly grow on cliffs, have extremely high medicinal value. One plant can be sold for at least a hundred dollars.
The best, of course, is Ganoderma lucidum.
The price of Ganoderma lucidum varies according to the year. Ganoderma lucidum that is more than ten years old is called a precious medicine. It can kill people like ginseng, and it is said that it can also refine elixirs.
A Ganoderma lucidum, even if it is new, is worth one or two silver!
"Ganoderma lucidum!"
Zhou Yi's hands were trembling, and he looked at the wild treasure in front of him with a strange light, and his heartbeat almost reached his throat:
"It's really Ganoderma lucidum!"
Ganoderma lucidum is often called fairy mushroom, fairy grass, and auspicious grass among the mountain people. In many picture novels, it is even said to be a magic medicine that can turn immortal after taking it, which shows its preciousness.
This object is about the size of a baby's hand, has a black and red surface, is smooth to the touch, and has a black handle under the umbrella cover.
The smell is slightly bitter.
The characteristics of the mountain delicacy in front of me are all consistent with the records in "Mountain Treasures and Hundreds of Medicines". It is indeed the real newborn Ganoderma lucidum.
"Sent!"
Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.
For him, this Ganoderma lucidum not only means that he can exchange money, and he won't have to worry about the monthly payment of the Giant Whale Gang next month, but more importantly, the mycelium underneath.
Mushroom cultivation!
As long as there is one Ganoderma lucidum plant, it means more Ganoderma lucidum can be grown.
It may take a while.
But worth it!
"No!"
With his thoughts turning, Zhou Yi shook his head gently:
"According to medicine books, Ganoderma lucidum can greatly replenish qi and blood, and it is a treasure medicine that strengthens bones and muscles. If taken, it will help overcome the disease."
"What's more, selling it..."
"We still have to find another way."
Maybe in the eyes of big shots, this kind of Ganoderma lucidum is nothing, but to ordinary people, Ganoderma lucidum is rare.
If you sell it in the market, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people, which may lead to trouble.
As for turning over to the Giant Whale Gang...
Even more impossible.
It's better to take it yourself. If you can successfully pass the test in advance, you won't be angry with Liuzi again.
Thinking of doing it, he carefully put away the Ganoderma lucidum and all the other mountain mushrooms. Zhou Yi avoided the road and hurried home.
After a while.
"who?"
Zhou Yi rushed out of the room with a face full of anger, his neck turned red and he roared loudly:
"Who came to my house? Stole my things?"
"Stealing something?"
"Did Xiao Yi's family lose something?"
"Who stole it?"
"Shh..."
His roar alarmed the neighbors, and many people went out one after another. Even Sister-in-law Qian walked out of the room disheveled.
"Xiao Yi, did you lose something?"
"Um."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the other party and asked:
"Sister-in-law, can you see who entered my house?"
"No." Sister-in-law Qian shook her head and asked curiously:
"What was lost?"
"..." Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said:
"nothing."
"It can't be money, right?" Someone whispered:
"In two days' time, the Giant Whale Gang will come to collect the money. If you lose the money at this time, I'm afraid the Sixth Son will not let you go."
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang." Zhou Jia forced a smile:
"It's not money, it's something else that's important to me."
"As long as it's not money." Aunt Wang waved her hand:
"Except for money, everything else is external, don't take it too seriously."
"Yes, yes." Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly:
"Aunt Wang, does she know who has gone to my house? I'm at home at night, and people come and go here during the day. If someone goes in, no one will see them, right?"
"I do not see it."
"I didn't see it either!"
"..."
Neighbors waved their hands repeatedly, and some people's eyes flickered, maybe they knew something, but they obviously didn't want to mention it more, and they went back to their houses one after another.
Zhou Yi glanced at everyone, but no one dared to look directly at him:
"Don't let me catch you, otherwise Zhou will never let you go!"
He lost his money!
And not even a little bit!
Fortunately, he also understood the principle of the cunning rabbit's three burrows. Although the thief searched carefully, he still failed to touch the biggest head.
Otherwise it will be troublesome.
Zhou Yi went back to the house angrily, not feeling sleepy, so he simply took out the spiritual plant, examined it briefly, and swallowed the water.
Although Ganoderma has a great reputation, its taste is not very good and even extremely bitter.
A moment after entering the stomach, a warm current gushes out from near the Dantian. Although it is slow, it has a continuous and continuous feeling.
"call……"
Breathing out turbid air, Zhou Yi calmed down the distracting thoughts in his mind, walked steadily, and silently performed the Chongguan method.
"boom!"
Qi and blood surged, far more active than usual.
