Ping'an Square

Chen Mu jumped over the wall and jumped into the westernmost house.

Change into a black mask.

Sitting in front of the square table, I slowly drank a bowl of cool white water, calming my thumping heart.

"Fortunately, fortunately..." He almost killed someone tonight!

"It's all because of this malicious world." Chen Mu thought bitterly.

Thinking that in his previous life, he was afraid of a ruined house, but now he dares to poison and kill? !

"I just want to live my life according to my duty and practice martial arts safely." Chen Mu thought a little aggrieved.

"Still keep a low profile. It's always right to be safe."

Just a second-order drawing skill attracts continuous malice.

If it is revealed that he has quickly learned to practice shape art, it may cause some trouble.

"The matter of martial arts must not be noticed." Chen Mu became more and more cautious.

...

half a month later

The Chen family in Ping'an Square.

One piece of cold vegetables, one piece of crystal elbow, and one piece of white wheat rice.

This is Chen Mu's lunch.

Grab a crystal elbow and chew slowly. Chen Mu showed a satisfied smile.

"unexpected surprise."

Not long ago, Chen Mu discovered a new skill on the gray wall—cooking.

Not long after he was on the list, he felt a marked change.

Before eating meat, he boiled it in plain water.

It can be eaten, but the taste can only be said to be salty.

Now I really understand what it means to be delicious.

With this ability, Chen Mu certainly won't treat himself badly.

Take out recipes that you have heard and seen in previous lives, and start experimenting with them.

The Crystal Elbow was one of his attempts.

"I will have good luck in the future."

...

After dinner, clean up the dishes. Chen Mu sat at the square table and drank sour plum soup to digest.

He has been a painter of Miaohuafang for half a month.

The most obvious change is that his polishing fee has increased. Double it directly, at least twenty-two per portrait.

But the number of portraits has also decreased accordingly.

In the past half a month, I had to paint three or four pictures. So far, I have painted two paintings in total.

But the client's pursuit of his paintings has risen instead.

"Ancient version of hunger marketing?"

Miaohuafang is indeed capable, no wonder it can occupy half of the painting and calligraphy industry in Qingshan County.

"Except for the voluntary labor of the county government, I can earn 80 to 100 taels per month."

This is enough to support his consumption now.

After eating and drinking, Chen Mu changed into a gray and white long gown.

This is the standard dress of the poor scholars today, and it is not eye-catching when walking on the street.

To this end, he took the time to observe the fashion of the masses in Qingshan County.

"I also want to dress better. It's a pity..."

If he dares to expose his family wealth with brocade clothes and jade food, robbers and thieves will come to the door that night!

Facing the reflection in the basin, Chen Mu was ready to go out.

Today he is going to help the yamen clerk draw a wanted notice.

Chen Mu did not stop volunteering because he joined Miaohuafang.

Although he can't get paid for helping the county government to draw a wanted order, it can bring him intangible benefits.

At least ordinary gangsters on the street dare not openly trouble him.

The income is high, no one bothers, Chen Mu has been very comfortable for the past half month.

If there is any dissatisfaction, it is probably the two big men at the door.

Chen Mu opened the door, and two tall and strong men stood at the door of his house.

This is the bodyguard arranged by Miaohuafang for him.

Chen Mu is also not easy to refuse. It really improves his safety.

But with two people following all day, many things are inconvenient.

For example, the practice of shape training, such as the purchase of secret medicine.

"Fortunately, a batch of medicinal materials was hoarded in advance."

Before he was smothered in practice, he bought a lot of medicines at one time. It's barely enough for now.

"One day it will be useful."

"We have to figure out a way to avoid the two of them purchasing medicinal materials." Chen Mu thought to himself.

...

Half a month later, Chen Mu ran frantically in the yard, at a speed comparable to a 100-meter sprint. There was almost no sound of stomping on the ground.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Mu stopped running and took a deep breath to calm down his shortness of breath.

Writing: 1342/10000/second order;

Drawing: 1079/10000/second order;

Throwing: 2598/10000/second order;

Kestrel training: 7231/10000/first order;

Cooking: 1326/10000/first order;

A month has passed, and the kestrel training has increased by more than 2,000 proficiency.

Compared with last month, it is eight or nine hundred less.

"This is the disadvantage of joining Miaohuafang." Chen Mu looked at the door helplessly.

There were two big men standing outside the door, and they had to be careful every time they practiced.

For this reason, he also specially thought about kestrel training to reduce the noise caused by galloping.

Now it runs quietly and silently, which is also a pleasant surprise.

But in the end dare not let go of practice, it does affect the brushing proficiency process.

"The secret medicine is gone. The follow-up effect will be even worse."

In order to prevent being discovered, Chen Mu doesn't mind slowing down the speed of brushing proficiency.

But if there is no secret medicine, the effect will be discounted in half immediately, which is unacceptable to him.

"We must find a way to purchase medicinal materials."

Suddenly there was a voice outside the door.

Chen Mu went to open the door.

"Master Chen, where do you put your things?" a dark-faced man in his forties said standing at the door.

His clothes were patched, his hands were rough and calloused, and he was a laborer who often did rough work.

At this moment, he deflected his body, revealing the big bamboo basket behind him, which contained more than ten kilograms of fresh meat.

"Old Li, help me back into the room." Chen Mu said with a smile.

This person is a coolie who runs errands at the Xue's warehouse in Dongshi.

Putting the fresh meat away, Chen Mu handed Lao Li ten copper plates.

"Thank you sir." Old Li took it with a smile.

"Last time I heard that your warehouse errands are also graded?" Chen Mu asked.

"Yes, like I am a straw shoe, with copper shoes and iron shoes on top, as well as gold boots and silver boots. Master Chen is..." Old Li looked at Chen Mu in confusion.

"I'm going to hire a silver boot, go back and tell your boss. Let him arrange someone to contact him at night." Chen Mu said softly.

He had already inquired. Xue's Cargo Station is mainly engaged in escorting darts and errands.

Among them, the golden boots have the highest level and the best confidentiality. Even participate in the county government tax silver escort.

But the Golden Boot is a team service, dispatching more than ten people at a time.

The silver boot is second, and the security and confidentiality are not bad. And it is possible to hire a single person and multiple people.

He intends to ask Xuejia Warehouse to help him purchase the secret medicine for shape training.

"Okay! Don't worry!" Old Li was overjoyed.

As long as he tells the owner of the news, once the contract is signed, he will also have a high share.

"Let people come at night, I don't want too many people to know about this." Chen Mu asked.

"Okay, don't worry." Old Li quickly assured in a low voice.

After sending Lao Li away, Chen Mu closed the door to process the fresh meat.

"There is a warehouse to buy the medicinal materials on your behalf, although it is not completely confidential, but at least it is not me who comes forward, and it can always block the eyes of the public." Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at the door.

He didn't want Miaohuafang to know that he knew martial arts.

"And that Lu catcher."

The other party is a local snake, and if he comes forward to purchase drugs, he may be found out.

Lu Zhetou knew it, and so did the teacher Sheng Hong.

The other party used to use the kestrel as bait to earn money.

Chen Mu only went once to start practicing shape art, and the other party might not be reconciled.

Unwillingness may stumble him.

Chen Mu was willing to spend money to avoid possible trouble.

"No one knows that I practice martial arts, so I can keep it as a trump card." Chen Mu thought happily.

"I can also move the practice time to the evening."

The two bodyguards at the door will leave at night. He can practice as much as he likes.

"In this way, no one knows that I can practice shape art!" Chen Mu thought happily.

Wash the fresh pork belly, cut it into cubes, then rub and marinate with salt and spices.

After that, it is cooked to medium cooked with the newly realized buns, and then fried with vegetables.

With some operation, the preservation time of fresh meat is greatly prolonged, and it is more flavorful.

After everything was done, it was getting dark.

He took two pieces of square meat and gave them to the guards, and sent them away in advance in the joy and gratitude of the other party.

Chen Mu made another vegetable salad, cooked a pot of white wheat, sat at the square table and ate the freshly cooked square meat, waiting for someone from the Xue's warehouse to arrive.
