Ping'an Square

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

Changed into a black mask.

Sitting in front of the square table, he slowly drank a bowl of cool white water, calming his 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 abandoning the 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.

"It's still necessary to keep a low profile. It's always right to keep things steady."

Just a second-order drawing skill attracts continuous malice.

If it was revealed that he quickly learned to practice shape art, what kind of disaster might be caused.

"The matter of martial arts training 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 obvious changes.

Before eating meat, he always 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 wouldn't treat himself badly.

She took out the recipes she had heard and seen in her previous life, and started experimenting with it.

The crystal elbow is 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.

Why would I have to paint three or four pictures in the first half month. So far, I have painted two paintings in total.

However, the client's pursuit of his paintings has been on the rise.

"Ancient version of hunger marketing?"

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

"Except for the voluntary labor at the county government office, 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 for poor scholars today, and it is not eye-catching when walking on the street.

For this reason, he took the time to observe the clothes worn by the public in Qingshan County.

"I also want to look more handsome. 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 voluntary labor just because he joined Miaohua Workshop.

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.

With a high income, no one bothered, Chen Mu had a very comfortable half month.

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

Chen Mu pushed open the door, and two tall and strong men stood at the door of his house like door gods.

This is the bodyguard arranged by Miaohuafang for him.

Chen Mu couldn't refuse. It really improves his safety.

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

For example, training in shape training, such as purchasing secret medicines.

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

Before, he practiced qigong with his head down and bought a lot of medicines at one time. It's barely enough for now.

"It will be useful one day after all."

"You have to think of 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, with a speed comparable to a 100-meter sprint. There was almost no sound of stomping on the ground.

After a quarter of an hour, 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 shape training: 7231/10000/first order;

Cooking skills: 1326/10000/first order;

In the past month, the kestrel training has gained more than 2,000 proficiency.

Compared to last month, it was 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 the exercises.

For this reason, he also pondered the kestrel shape training technique to reduce the noise caused by running.

Now that the run is quiet and silent, it can be regarded as a pleasant surprise.

But in the end he didn't dare to let go of the practice, it really affected the progress of brushing proficiency.

"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 halved immediately, which is unacceptable to him.

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

A voice suddenly came from 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 with calluses, and he was a laborer who often did rough work.

At this moment, he turned his body to reveal the big bamboo basket behind him, which contained more than ten catties 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 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 boots are second, and the security and confidentiality are not bad. And it is possible to hire a single person and multiple people.

He planned to ask the Xuejia warehouse to help him purchase the secret medicine for shape training.

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

As long as he tells the owner of this 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 handle the fresh meat.

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

He didn't want to let Miaohuafang 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 Zhaotou knew it, and so did Mr. Sheng Hong.

The opponent 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.

If he is not reconciled, he may stumble.

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

"No one knows that I practice martial arts, so I can keep it as a hole 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 squares, then rub and marinate with salt and spices.

Afterwards, it was cooked in the buns that had just been comprehended, and then it was deep-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 cubes of meat and handed it to the guards at the door, and sent them away in advance amid 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 come.
