When I wake up, it's a new day.
After teasing the dogs and birds for a while, Lu Wu stretched and practiced his boxing in the yard.
Her poor aptitude wasn't just limited to her spiritual roots; she also made very slow progress in cultivating sword and fist techniques.
At first, when she gained cultivation, she wanted to try her best to prove her strength as a transmigrator, but she gave up that very day.
Someone practiced boxing and almost died from a stroke.
It seems she's only suited to lie down and wait for the system to carry her.
Now I box purely for fitness.
After finishing a set of boxing techniques in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Wu felt refreshed after taking a shower.
Business was booming yesterday, and we don't have much food left.
Lu Wu took Huo Huo to the market in Hong'an City to buy supplies again, while Da Huang stayed behind to look after the house.
"Hey boss, you're here again. Same as always?"
As soon as Lu Wu appeared, someone waved to him.
The ingredients had been good before, so Lu Wu bought them from acquaintances, and this time they were much cheaper.
The meat stall was still run by Aunt Lin, and today she had a little boy by her side.
The boy, about seven or eight years old, was dressed neatly with not a single hair out of place. He stood in the chaotic market, his brows furrowed tightly, looking like an old man.
"Hello, Mr. Lu. This is my son, Zeng Sheng, Xiao Sheng. Say hello to Mr. Lu."
Aunt Lin smiled, her face, etched with the gentleness of time, softened even more when she faced her baby.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
Zeng Sheng looked over and gave a curt greeting.
He dodged Aunt Lin's hand, his eyes full of disgust.
It wasn't that they disliked Aunt Lin, but rather that the other woman's hands were a bit dirty from touching flesh.
He has obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.
This place was inherently at odds with him, but today his father had sneaked out saying he had something to do, and his mother was worried about leaving him alone at home, so she brought him to the market.
Having observed all this, Lu Wu nodded to the precocious little guy.
Hello, hello.
"I'll take them all."
In the next sentence, Lu Wu pointed to the chickens, ducks, and pork on the stall, saying he would buy them all.
Zeng Sheng's eyes lit up.
Once he sells everything, he can go home and escape this chaotic place sooner.
"Okay!"
Aunt Lin didn't question Lu Wu. She knew that Lu Wu had a stall on Zizai Street. She didn't dare to go there, but she knew through Yijietong that Lu Wu's customers had all come to his door.
Business is booming.
Clearing the area outright was a rare move by Lu Wu, a female CEO known for her domineering style in the Qingyuan Realm.
Therefore, some of the female shop owners around looked at Aunt Lin with envy, as they also wanted such a generous customer.
"Mr. Lu, these odds and ends are for you. They're all good quality, I hope you won't mind."
You have to admit that Aunt Lin is good at business; she's added a lot of burden to Lu Wu.
With back-and-forth exchanges, feelings will naturally develop, and there will be no need to worry about other shrewish women stealing away your big clients.
Both the buyer and seller made a clean and efficient purchase, which was very smooth and satisfying.
...
As night fell, some people in Hong'an City hurriedly left their residences.
Wang Xie looked at his brothers who were willing to risk their lives for him, his eyes filled with gratitude.
After being rescued by Yang Jiang yesterday, he went to the law enforcement team after leaving the casino and reported what he knew. The law enforcement team said they would investigate the matter thoroughly.
But he waited all day and didn't see any action.
Therefore, he felt that the law enforcement teams might not have taken his words seriously.
If the enforcement team doesn't take it seriously, then you'll have to find a way to get your benefactor out of the casino yourself.
Therefore, he contacted some friends and prepared to take action tonight.
"Old Zeng, are you really going to come along? Your wife and kids are at home, why don't you go back first..."
Wang Xie looked at Zeng Si earnestly.
The outcome of tonight's operation is unknown, so he only approached brothers who had no ties to him.
Zeng Si was different.
There's absolutely no need for the wife, kids, and warm bed to come along.
"What heartless things are you saying? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Don't worry, my wife supports me."
Zeng Si felt a little guilty after hearing this.
His eyes darted around.
Actually, my wife has been saying for the past two days that there's a guy named Boss Lu on Zizai Street who sells skewers, and that the food at that stall is especially delicious.
It just so happens that Wang and Xie needed help, and the location was also on that street.
He immediately thought, "Isn't this just a coincidence?"
He simply used the excuse of buying skewers to get his wife to let him out.
"Okay, then tonight, we..."
As the group walked and talked, they arrived at Zizai Street.
According to their plan, they needed to find a way to sneak into the casino, locate their target, and then quietly leave.
But the first step of this plan has fallen apart.
"So many people?"
One guy was so frustrated by the crowd blocking Zizai Street that he almost started to stutter.
It was overcrowded.
Looking at them, one might think something big had happened, but Wang Xie noticed that although these people were making a ruckus, they were actually queuing up very orderly.
Yes, there's a queue.
After exchanging bewildered glances, the group could only approach closer to try and gather information.
It turned out that these people were all there to buy skewers.
Want to buy some skewers?
Zeng Si was stunned.
My wife said that Boss Lu's business is booming, but she didn't say it's so booming that customers line up all over the street, and these people don't even complain.
"Make way, everyone, Mr. Lu is here."
A sound came from afar, and the crowd parted to make way. Zeng Si saw a pretty young woman calmly walk towards the center of the crowd under many fiery gazes.
That composed demeanor, undisturbed by the hardships of the outside world, is truly captivating.
This is a master, Zeng Si couldn't help but judge.
Even though Lu Wu had experienced so much, she still felt incredibly awkward about the scene.
He opened his storage bag, took out his stall, and snapped his fingers, causing a flame to rise from the bottom of the pot.
The stall was filled with skewers.
Red, white, and green ingredients, skewered on bamboo sticks, display their perfect forms, waiting for diners to choose.
The warm flames flickered, and the soup began to boil.
Steam rose into the air, accompanied by an irresistible aroma that filled the entire venue.
"This is the taste! Yesterday, after I brought the skewers home, my grandson cried while eating them, and today he's begging me to eat them again."
The elderly woman who questioned the food yesterday has become the best promoter for skewers today. She tells some new customers about her experience of being proven wrong, which resonates with many people.
"Boss Lu, I'd like three servings, all meat, with a spicy broth."
"I ordered a half-meat, half-vegetarian hot pot with a spicy and numbing broth, just the kind that makes your tongue feel completely numb."
As the queue moved forward, diners expressed their requests.
The air is filled with the savory aroma of meat, the fresh scent of vegetables, and the numbing spiciness of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, all carried by the wind to the outermost edges.
Wang Xie immediately recognized it as the scent that had saved him the night before.
The fragrance that my benefactor let me smell yesterday, is this very string of flowers?
Glug!
Someone is swallowing.
Upon closer inspection, it was Zeng Si.
