In the Shifo stronghold, everyone's mood has hit rock bottom because the task was not completed, but it rained all night long when the house leaked.
"Boss, the employer passed the responsibility to us, saying that we had no other ability except our big mouths and messed up this mission. They also asked us to return the deposit and said they never wanted to see us again." Lu Han His face turned pale and he said angrily to Shi Fo.
Before Shi Fo said anything, the short and stocky young man next to him stood up and was very dissatisfied.
"What? This damn fat guy, the information they gave is so different from the actual situation, and he caused us heavy casualties. We haven't even settled the accounts with him yet. He still wants his deposit back, so we told him to get out, but he won't give it back!"
Shi Fo and the others have gained a reputation for being vicious over the years, which they earned with each sword, so they are a group of bold bosses who don't care about their lives. When they hear their employer being so unreasonable, they don't take them seriously. They all talked and vented their dissatisfaction unscrupulously. In all these years, I have never done such a useless job and suffered such aggrieved anger.
"What are you doing? Shut up!" Shi Fo said solemnly: "If you can't bear such a trivial matter, what big thing can you do?"
"No, boss, this doesn't take us seriously."
"Yeah, I can't stand this anger."
"..."
"This is a trivial matter. Let Laohu go talk to the employer. Everyone should be quiet. This is not what we are going to talk about today. It is a summary after the war." Shi Fo showed no emotion and anger, and said calmly: "I don't want to talk about it next time. Even if I fail at work, I don’t want any of the brothers here to get into trouble again. If you have the money to make money, you should save your life to spend it.”
…
Ye Tianchen looked at a confidant in front of him and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"
"It hasn't been found yet. Although the other party suffered heavy losses, they retreated in an orderly manner, leaving no traces. Even the bodies were taken away. We checked for a long time and found no valuable clues. The other party is very professional. If you hadn't let me know this time, The newly hired Mountain Eagle Guards will replace our family's original guards. I guess they will succeed in kidnapping..."
Ye Tianchen interrupted: "You mean that the other party is strong and well prepared, but the other party didn't know that I temporarily changed to a more powerful protection team, so it failed. But the other party is so fierce, he should have some reputation in the world, right? "
"Not necessarily. If you have strength, you may also be very low-key."
"What I'm worried about now is whether the other party will take follow-up actions?" Ye Tianchen expressed his worries.
"Don't worry, Patriarch, I'll go back and convene a meeting with the people to discuss a counterattack plan!" said a confidant.
"Go ahead and make arrangements. Once you've discussed it, bring it to me to see!"
"clear!"
…
In a market residential area, an elderly woman with gray hair and a plain dress came to the bed carrying a bowl of freshly brewed soup. Lying on the bed was a skinny old man with a haggard expression and a face. A strange camel red color appeared on it.
"It's time to take medicine." Looking at her husband who was tortured by the disease, the woman felt sad.
"Cough, cough..."
"Mother Min, please stop buying herbal medicines. These herbal medicines can only relieve pain and are a waste of money. My disease cannot be cured and I will die anyway. Keep the money and live a good life..." The old man trembled. As he spoke, he sat up with the help of the woman.
"Xiao Min insisted on buying this. She said she couldn't bear your suffering! Woo hoo..." As she spoke, the woman couldn't help but cry.
"I have accepted my fate. It is not easy for my daughter to make some money. Let her keep it for her dowry and find a good family to marry. If she can live a better life, I will be satisfied."
"Hey, this child's life was bad. He was born in our family and he didn't live a good life for a few days." The woman felt sorry for her daughter, but she was powerless to give her a better life.
"In today's world, no matter where we are, life is very difficult for us poor people, especially in the deep mountainous areas of Cangshan Mountain. There are very few land resources suitable for farming, and the environment is even worse. At first, it was a mountain forest infested by wild beasts. Later, although it was destroyed by several major The family developed it, but the living environment is not very good yet.”
"We don't have the money to send our children to other places!" The woman knew her family's situation well, and she had tried her best to stay alive.
"So don't waste money and give your children some hope!"
"Well, woo... woo..."
"It's my inability to let you live a good life..." The old man stroked his wife's hair with a guilty look on his face.
"I don't blame you, this is my own choice!"
…
Ye Tianchen's confidants walked towards the Ye family's shop in Qixing Market. The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile on his face: "Master Liu, what are your orders?"
"Let all female store workers aged 18-25 come to the store meeting room. I need to find a suitable person to use."
"Understood, I will inform them right away. They will be here in a stick of incense. I will ask Xiao Ma to follow you to the meeting hall first."
"Hurry up, remember, one is not enough." Master Liu emphasized.
"Understood." The shopkeeper said respectfully as he asked Xiao Ma to come over and listen to Master Liu's next arrangements.
…
After a stick of incense, all the female shop workers gathered in the store's meeting hall, whispering among themselves and discussing what happened.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to say." The shopkeeper cleared his throat and said loudly: "It's actually not a big deal to gather everyone together today. It's mainly because all the female workers have put in so much hard work and effort in running the store. Thanks to our efforts, the company has prepared a gift for everyone, including three kilograms of wild boar ribs, a Yunhu silver carp, and a pheasant."
"Very good!"
"Long live the shopkeeper!"
"Great, finally we have meat to eat!"
"Mountain boar, my favorite..."
When everyone heard the news, they all shouted and looked excited. In this day and age, it is absolutely luxurious to be able to eat mountain pork, lake fresh silver carp, and pheasant. First of all, this thing is too expensive. Most people can't afford it and would rather spend money to buy it. On the other hand, even if they have money, they may not be able to buy it. These are scarce foods in the mountains and forests.
Most residents near Qixing Shifang now eat brown rice and vegetables. When food is insufficient, they have to dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
While everyone was discussing heatedly how to eat, when to eat and other miscellaneous issues, Mr. Liu stood quietly and carefully observed each female worker. From time to time, he picked up a picture and looked at it. There was a face on it. The portrait is of Ye Linger, the daughter of the head of the Ye family.
"My dog has been clamoring for meat for a long time."
"My daughter often tells me that the king of the village caught a pheasant on the mountain. The chicken is delicious."
…
"My father had a dream last time when he chased a wild boar. When he caught up, he lit the pig's butt and ate it. When he woke up, he was chewing on the pillow, haha..."
"I'm telling you, this silver carp should be stewed to make it delicious. Add more yellow sauce..."
"Cut it into pieces, wrap it in wheat flour, and fry it to make it delicious."
Seeing how happy everyone was, the shopkeeper didn't feel surprised at all. If Master Liu hadn't been here, he would have joined in the discussion. It's strange to say, for no reason. What kind of thing is Mr. Liu trying to do? It can't be a beauty pageant for the clan leader. I think it's impossible. The clan leader's wife is very charming. The clan leader has never done such a messy thing. , always clean and self-sufficient.
"Xiao Ma, what's the name of the sixth female shop worker from the left in the fifth row?" Mr. Liu observed for a long time, found the most suitable candidate, and asked the shopkeeper next to him.
"Her name is Feng Minmin, she is nineteen years old, and she is now a store salesperson." Xiao Ma looked at it and replied immediately.
"In this case, you inform her to come to the store's living room to find me in an hour. By the way, you can send her detailed information to the living room within half an hour. Remember, don't tell others what I asked you to do."
"Understood, I'll go right away, Master Liu."
