Chapter 766 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon(1/2)
Zhou Sen, who was among the crowd, was shocked. He felt that this girl seemed to be very familiar with him, but he had no impression of this girl at all.
Could it be that the ruthless bandit Zhou Sen once visited this planet?
"Do you know him?" Zhu was stunned.
"Ah... I don't know him, how could I know him..."
Shen Huimin's face froze and she shook her head repeatedly, but her expression betrayed her. Everyone could see that she knew Zhou Sen.
Seeing the curious expressions around her, Mrs. Zhu suddenly turned pale, said nothing, and dragged Shen Huimin out of the east courtyard in a hurry.
A group of workers gathered around Zhou Sen and gossiped about the incident after Zhu took Shen Huimin back to the West Courtyard.
"Tell me, how did you know him?" Zhu looked at Shen Huimin with a stern look.
"Mom..." Shen Huimin stood up and looked at her mother, whose attitude puzzled her.
"Okay, now that your wings are hardened, do you want to say it or not?!" Zhu said furiously, and actually took down a simple black carved wooden stick from the wall.
"I said, that's what I said." Shen Huimin's face suddenly changed. This wooden stick is the wooden stick used by the Shen family to enforce family law, and it is no joke.
"Speak quickly." Zhu urged.
"He is the fool I met a few years ago." Shen Huimin looked aggrieved.
"Which fool?"
"That's the hunter."
"The hunter who killed the snow leopard in Moling three years ago?" Zhu said with a look of surprise on her face.
"That's him." Shen Huimin pouted.
"It's strange. The first time I saw him, he looked very dull, but today he spoke clearly and eloquently, and his thinking was extremely quick. Logically speaking, such a smart person wouldn't know..." Zhu was confused.
"Mom, I heard from dad that there are no monster energy stones in our area. The Moling Snow Leopard is a superpower who lives in seclusion in Moling and raised several spiritual beasts. Over the years, they have multiplied.
The variant is the current Moling Snow Leopard. Not to mention that fool, even some superpowers don’t know that the seemingly ordinary Moling Snow Leopard actually has energy stones in its body.”
"Yes, but that young man is not simple. He was able to hunt the Moling Snow Leopard by himself. Moreover, when he entered our Shen family, he pretended to be dull and pitiful, and he actually hid it from your father and me. From now on, you
Be careful and don't approach him."
"I think he's pretty good. He looks silly and cute, hehe..."
"Looking stupid?" Mrs. Zhu snorted coldly, "He is much smarter than you, and you still say he looks stupid. Remember, don't get close to him in the future."
"oh."
"Remember this, you stupid head!" Seeing Shen Huimin's distracted look, Zhu slapped Shen Huimin on the head, and raised the black wooden stick with the other hand, ready to hit her.
"You always like to hit me on the head. If you are not stupid, you will beat me stupidly." Shen Huimin protested, stroking her head.
"If I don't beat you, you won't have a long memory. From now on, don't wander around Moling all day long. Those superpowers have been dead for hundreds of years. If there were any treasures left behind, they would have been found long ago. Besides, it's just you.
With that kind of skill, it would be difficult to defeat an ordinary person, but if you meet a person with super powers, you will be in trouble."
"I have a flying sword." Shen Huimin took out the black dagger and waved it twice in the air, with a proud look on her face.
"Flying sword! Although your flying sword is powerful, it can only scare ordinary people. With your little aura, you won't be able to fly with a sword. If you meet a powerful person, you will be beaten to pieces.
"Zhu sneered.
"You're just looking for teeth everywhere." Shen Huimin held Zhu's neck and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, I still have something to do. Your dad has been practicing in a secret room all day long. Now there is a mess outside, and he doesn't care. I am a woman, and I am in public all day long. Hey...
." Mrs. Zhu looked worried.
"Dad will definitely go into seclusion after getting the best energy stone. It is estimated that when he comes out of seclusion, his cultivation will be greatly improved. By then, our whole family, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven and become gods."
"The superpowers in Moling who can keep spiritual beasts as pets are all dead. You think it's so easy to become a god? Besides, what's the benefit of being a god? Being old and not dying is a thief. Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you.
, let’s go, you have nothing to do but do embroidery and calligraphy at home, don’t go out in the wild.”
"Hmm, I'll do the embroidery later, you go ahead." Shen Huimin looked cute and innocent.
Mrs. Zhu scratched Shen Huimin's nose and hurriedly walked towards the shop in the west courtyard.
Zhu Tongzi worked very efficiently. Zhu was only delayed at home for a while. He had already finished the work and posted an announcement on the wall outside the shop.
When Zhu rushed to the shop facing the street in the west courtyard, the crowd outside had dispersed, and there were only dozens of people queuing up to buy salt. Most of them were nearby residents who went home to get their household registration books and then returned to the queue. Several households among them
They really picked out some raw meat and slaughtered poultry to marinate on site...
…
A vigorous salt-grabbing controversy in Niejiaqiao soon became calm after the strong intervention of the Shen family.
This storm came and went quickly, like a tornado sweeping through and disappearing into thin air.
On the first day, there were still some people queuing up to buy, and even picked up meat to be marinated in the Shen family store. On the second day, the number of people queuing up to buy salt gradually decreased. Many people believed that the Shen family could protect Nie.
Salt supply in Jiaqiao.
On the third day, the Shen family began to organize some tenants and residents to visit the Shen family's warehouse. When people saw the mountains of salt piled up in the Shen family's warehouse, the rumors were self-evident, and the rush to buy salt had become a kind of
It’s a joke, some people who didn’t rush to buy salt would laugh at those who queued up to buy salt.
On the fourth day, no one was queuing up at Shen's store, only some people from remote areas were buying sporadic items.
On the fifth day, the Zhao family and some retail shops also opened sales.
Things developed exactly as Zhou Sen said. On the sixth day, the salt rush farce was completely over, and even people in some remote mountainous areas knew the news.
During this five-day salt crisis, the Shen family not only sold a large amount of salt inventory and increased the funds withdrawn, but also gained a good reputation in Niejiaqiao.
The result of this good reputation is that the sales of other products of the Shen family have greatly increased, and some tenants are willing to sell their excess grain to the Shen family.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and people are relaxing, while Shenjiadong Courtyard is getting busier and busier.
Although Deaf Jia is deaf, he knows the ins and outs of the matter. Now his attitude towards Zhou Sen is much better. When nothing happens, he will dance in front of Zhou Sen and give a thumbs up, looking very excited.
In fact, not only did Deaf Jia's attitude toward Zhou Sen change for the better, but the entire Dongyuan people respected Zhou Sen very much, and Zhu Tongzi took great care of Zhou Sen and often came over to greet him.
Zhou Sen is becoming more and more idle now, because Deaf Jia basically rushes to do everything. Zhou Sen spends most of his time helping in the kitchen, and practices chopping flies when he is free.
Because of his stable life, keeping up with nutrition, and a lot of physical work every day, Zhou Sen's body became stronger and stronger, and he became more and more skilled at chopping flies. His technique gradually became smoother. The iron ax weighing more than ten kilograms was already in his hand.
It has become much easier.
When Lu chops flies with an axe, he usually sits or stands still, and the person is in a still state. During the practice, Zhou Sen would place several wooden blocks on the ground, and then smear animal blood and viscera on the wooden blocks.
The flies came in, and then Zhou Sen kept moving between several wooden blocks to chop the flies.
Zhou Sen's practice method progresses very slowly, because it becomes countless times more difficult to chop small flies when the human body is moving.
At the beginning, Zhou Sen was worried that his practice would arouse the curiosity of others and become the focus of attention. However, what surprised Zhou Sen was that no one seemed to show the slightest curiosity about his practice of chopping flies. Until Mrs. Peng and Zhou Sen
After chatting, he understood the reason.
"Xiao Zhou, if you chop it like this, there won't be any flies for you to chop in our east courtyard." Aunt Peng, who was washing rice by the well, joked.
"Haha, you have nothing to do." Zhou Sen smiled.
"Yes, when people are free and have nowhere to use their energy, they just want to find something to do. You don't know, my Lao Peng and Chef Na Lei, when they are free, they just study killing pigs and sheep. What do you mean?
It would be even more insane to kill a 'cook to solve the problem of cattle'. Once, a pig was cut into tens of thousands of pieces. The bones were bones, the meat was meat, and the meat was also piece by piece, not connected to each other...
…”
"Tens of thousands of dollars!" Zhou Sen looked shocked.
"Yes, there are hundreds of bones, and then they are divided bit by bit, each one is big and thick. I have never seen them so careful." A trace of anger showed on Mrs. Peng's face, obviously she was dissatisfied with the usually careless Mr. Luo.
The cook is dissatisfied.
"It seems like they don't usually kill pigs like this?"
"That's definitely not the case. We can't miss the boss's business. However, after a few years of hard work, they became very good at killing pigs and sheep. Once my Lao Peng and Chef Lei competed, and they killed two live pigs in just five minutes.
It has to be done cleanly. After my wife found out, she rewarded the two of them."
"Five minutes...so powerful..." Zhou Sen had an incredible expression on his face. He stayed in the East Courtyard every day and would kill pigs and sheep almost every other day. Sometimes, he would kill several animals in a day. Naturally, he knew
, it takes at least half an hour to kill a pig.
"Hey, what's this? In the East Courtyard, half of the year is idle. Everyone has nothing to do and has nothing to do. They all look for some fun, just like an axe, which chops flies when they have nothing to do. My Lao Peng is bored.
Tossing pigs and sheep; when Tiezhu has nothing to do, he competes with a group of porters to move millet. He carries six or seven hundred kilograms of millet to the warehouse, and then throws it up one by one. Who can carry more and throw it faster?
, whoever comes first will be the first.”
"Six to seven hundred pounds..." Zhou Sen couldn't help but look shocked. Although he was brave and invincible, he was a superpower, and these people in the yard were ordinary people.
"Haha, our long-term porters here all rely on strength. Who doesn't have the brute strength to carry three to five hundred kilograms? This is commonplace. You will know if you go to the other side of the granary. Eh... you have to
You can only see it before eating."
"Why?"
"They are usually not in a hurry. Only when there is a lot of work or when it is almost time to eat, they will rush to finish all the work. Just like my old Peng, when there are more people eating, he seems to have suddenly taken medicine.
It's fast, it's almost time to eat, if you don't believe me, go to Granary No. 9 and have a look."
