Chapter 3 Self-contradiction
Zhao Mingliang just couldn't get around it for a while. He didn't seem to be a dull person. At this time, he naturally understood and suddenly said: "We are equivalent to taking on part of the work of the Construction Department. However, those officials may
Look down on us petty profiteers."
Bao Ding looked around and lowered his voice to remind: "My Brother Zhao, you just want others to look down on us petty profiteers!"
"A pig's snout costs ten coppers. For labor, we price it at fifteen coppers. In addition to the chefs from the previous restaurant, they can also afford it."
"The most important point is that this pig snout is a 'consumable material' that can be manufactured and sold continuously. In the end, it will be as common as eating and drinking tea..."
"As long as the slaughter of beast carcasses remains part of the corvee, the pig's snout will not worry about being sold!"
"Brother Zhao, when that time comes, will it still be 'petty profit'?"
Although Zhao Mingliang nodded secretly after hearing this, his mood was not inflamed by Bao Ding. He sighed softly: "It's just that businessmen are a cheap industry after all. Adults... can't get involved, so they may not be willing to provide anything."
So convenient!”
Seeing Zhao Mingliang's pretense of embarrassment, Bao Ding immediately understood. The implication was that he, the commander, should be used as a "white glove"!
After the money was laundered, it not only damaged the reputation of adults including Zhao Mingliang, but also benefited from it.
"Please let me share your worries for the adults!" Bao Ding patted his chest impassionedly.
"Brother Zhao, although his rank in the Shetis Department is not high, he is a native of Yacheng after all. He has a wide network of people. Arranging the location of the small workshop, recruiting suitable craftsmen from the refugees and other related matters are just trivial matters.
That’s all!”
Zhao Mingliang smiled happily at Bao Ding who came on the road, and took over the road.
"I'll take you to the courtyard first to identify the door and get acquainted with the other retinues." Zhao Mingliang pointed to the large courtyard in front of him and said.
While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the residence of the followers of Shetisi.
"This is Lao Wang, an old man in the retinue. If you have any questions, you can ask Lao Wang for more advice. I want to go back to Shetis first, that's the business." Zhao Mingliang threw the package to a middle-aged man, and then
Turned around and left.
Judging from his hurried steps, it seems that he is not just trying to make an early delivery.
"Brother Wang, I am Bao Ding, just call me Dingzi..." Bao Ding said with a smile on his face.
Lao Wang looked like the kind of slippery person. He had pretended to greet Zhao Mingliang a few words before, but now he was "leaving the tea to cool down" and turned his face to Bao Ding.
He nodded with a smile on his face and waved to Bao Ding to follow him.
Entering the courtyard is a martial arts training ground, with stone locks, strong bows, weapon racks, wooden dummies and many other equipment neatly arranged.
The courtyard is a third-entry courtyard. At a glance, the inner courtyard is about the size of fifty or sixty rooms.
Lao Wang directly led Bao Ding to an inverted room as soon as he entered the courtyard, and said: "The conditions are a bit rough, so let's stay here for now!"
Bao Ding looked at the stables on one side, the granary on the other side, as well as the dusty window panes and tabletop. He could only say thank you and asked nonchalantly: "Brother Wang, how many people are there in our yard?"
ah?"
"The number is uncertain, especially in recent months. Sometimes there are thirty or forty people, and sometimes there are fifty or sixty people." Lao Wang seemed to be a little impatient, and he said casually.
He had already turned around and walked outside.
After a while, a sturdy young man came over carrying bedding, sheets, oil lamps and other daily necessities.
"My name is Shi Shi. I arrived here two months earlier than Brother Bao. Brother Zhao has just given me instructions. If you have any questions in the future, just ask me!" Shi Shi helped Bao Ding and quickly helped Bao Ding.
The room has been cleaned.
"The environment of the inverted room is a little worse, but it has its advantages." Shi Shi pointed to the martial arts training ground outside and said: "When the photographer teaches some martial arts, it is usually outside. This is what they often say.
That platform near the water..."
"The first to get the moon is near the water." Bao Ding saw that Shi Shi's words were stuck on his lips, so he answered it, and then asked casually: "I heard that Lao Wang is an old man here. He has been here for most of his time?"
"It's been eleven months." Shi Shi saw Bao Ding's surprised look and explained, "I'm not going to lie to you! Those who can stay with us for more than half a year are all seniors."
Bao Ding suddenly remembered that Zhao Mingliang seemed to have said "one year" when he drew the cake for himself.
If we can really wait until then, even ten old kings will be killed by his boss!
"Although the proportion of soldiers who are promoted to warriors is not high, we ordinary mortals with no family or sect can only do this in order to fight for the slim chance of leaping over the dragon gate." Shi Shi said with some emotion.
"Martial arts, pills, even weapons, none of them cost money! I heard that you can't get high-level martial arts with just money!"
Although what Shi Shi said is due to his own conditions and class limitations, the real situation should be the same.
On the way to the courtyard, Bao Ding had already heard Zhao Mingliang briefly introduce the current situation of the retinue.
However, if you still have the restaurant panel in hand and are still eating here and waiting to die, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to come here?!
After sending Shi Shi away, Bao Ding closed the door and imagined the panel.
【Cook Road】
Vulnerability Points: 45/100
Eyesight: Lower grade of fallen leaves (22/100)
Martial Arts: "Wing Chun Boxing", level 2 martial arts, one spear (15/100); one shield;
spear:
shield:
[Tip]: After unlocking the shield skill, you can contradict yourself;
Seeing that the Shield Technique could also be unlocked and could "contradict itself", Bao Ding naturally wanted to understand the secrets of the chef as soon as possible, so he chose to unlock the Shield Technique.
So, the panel is refreshed again.
【Cook Road】
Vulnerability Points: 42/100
Eyesight: Lower grade of fallen leaves (22/100)
Martial Arts: "Wing Chun Boxing", level 2 martial arts, one spear (15/100); one shield (3/100);
Spear: "Wing Chun"
Shield: "Wing Chun"
[Tip]: Can contradict itself;
It’s useless to think too much, just try it and you will know!
Bao Ding chose "Shield".
The next moment, Bao Ding appeared in a training ground the size of a ring, and a man wearing a red warrior uniform appeared opposite him.
The appearance of the warrior in red is clearly Bao Ding himself!
What should we call this kind of mirror opponent? It only appeared after unlocking the shield skill, so it is called "shield shield"?
Before Bao Ding could recover, the red-clothed chef made a Wing Chun starting move, and then attacked directly.
snort!
ah!
Bao Ding was hit by the butler's shield frequently, and in an instant he was hit with two punches and one palm. He was sent flying out and hit a transparent invisible wall of the training ground with a loud bang!
Looking at the speed and trajectory of the "flight", it felt like Baoding was hit head-on by a mad bull!
Fortunately, with the mysterious rules of the chef and the protection of the barrier, Bao Ding was not allowed to vomit blood or get stuck on the wall!
After all, what Bao Ding had practiced before was all routines, fixed moves, and split moves. In terms of actual combat, it can be said to be a blank sheet of paper.
No, he was tortured by "himself" just after meeting him.
The kind of pain that hits your flesh when you punch it, it's not perfect, but it's at least 70% or 80%!
"The shield technique means that I need to defend? However, I clearly saw the halo of the arrow target just now, but I just didn't have time to react."
"That exquisite move should be Wing Chun, which is more advanced than what I learned when I unlocked the spear technique!"
Just as Bao Ding got up and made a starting gesture to fight back, he heard Shi Shi's voice coming from outside.
Chapter completed!
