"Young Manager Yang, this is freshly arrived demon tiger meat today. Would you like some?"
A middle-aged butcher arrived at Yang's shop carrying two large pieces of meat.
One piece is regular beef, and the other is demon tiger meat.
How much does demon tiger meat cost?
"Two taels of silver for a pound of demon tiger meat."
"I bought it!"
With a wave of her hand, Yang Xiaoqian bought the demon tiger meat.
Yang Dong rolled over on the recliner.
Forget it, I'm tired, that's enough!
Once Li Fan's meridians and acupoints were opened, he was immediately swept out of the house.
......
"Brother Li, is the meat delicious today?"
"Um!"
"Then I'll cook it for you every day from now on!"
"Girl, don't talk nonsense."
Yang Dong muttered loudly, "This monster meat costs two taels of silver per catty, our family can't afford it."
"Brother Li gave you 1,300 taels of silver, how could you not afford it!"
"Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!"
"I don't care, I'm eating first!"
Yang Dong looked at Yang Xiaoqian, his face full of helplessness.
Silly girl, Grandpa is saving up your dowry!
......
Poor scholars, rich warriors.
It's the same no matter where you are.
One pound and two ounces, twelve ounces per meal.
Three meals a day, which is thirty-six ounces.
This consumption is really quite large.
It seems we have to go out and suppress the bandits again.
......
As dusk fell, the afterglow of the crimson sunset lingered.
The carriage stopped as it crossed the street.
Yan Mingshu walked in, dressed in a white robe, while Liu Nanjun stood guard outside the shop.
"Oh, young master, you've finished your wine?"
Seeing Yang Xiaoqian approaching enthusiastically, Yan Mingshu said with a smile, "I'm here to see Li Fan."
"Please wait a moment, young master, I'll go and call Brother Li out!"
......
"Brother Li, it's nice to see you again!"
"What's up?"
"It's about the same thing as last time."
"Let's talk outside!"
Li Fan walked straight out of the shop.
......
“This time I’m here differently than last time.”
"The establishment of the Martial Arts Alliance is no longer just empty talk."
"First, all the martial arts schools in the city are under my control."
"Secondly, if I don't step in, the major powers will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and they need me to step in."
"Third, Wei Wenyuan has already relented and agreed to pay money to avoid disaster."
"The road is already paved!"
"I hope that Brother Li will seriously consider becoming the leader of the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance."
I agree!
"Brother Li, don't be in such a hurry to refuse..."
Yan Mingshu suddenly realized.
Did Li Fan just say that he agreed?
"Brother Li, you... you agree!"
"Um!"
Li Fan nodded.
He wanted to become stronger as quickly as possible, and joining the Martial Arts Alliance was the best choice.
Even if you join a major sect, you probably won't get such good treatment.
Of course, this matter carries considerable risk.
"Make a note of what I need."
"The more pills that replenish qi and blood, the better."
"A knife, a good enough knife."
"A method of external martial arts training."
"A style of boxing."
"A skill of lightness and agility."
"We still have a place to stay!"
"Once everything is ready, just tell me what you need to do."
The appearance of Yan Mingshu.
This gave Li Fan a second option.
It's faster and more direct than suppressing bandits.
"Alright, Brother Li, give me ten days, and I will deliver everything you requested!"
......
"Old Yang, Xiaoqian, I'm moving out in ten days!"
"Brother Li, my grandfather has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. You don't need to care what he says."
"Xiaoqian, it has nothing to do with Old Yang. I'm moving out because I'm about to do something with Yan Mingshu!"
"Have you thought it through?"
Yang Dong looked at Li Fan and said, "Once you enter the martial world, it's hard to extricate yourself!"
"Once you've entered the world of martial arts, why bother to withdraw?"
"You're still too young!"
Yang Dong shook his head slightly, "The bloody and turbulent world of martial arts is not something that ordinary people can adapt to."
"Old Yang, is it possible that the martial arts world can't adapt to me?"
Hahahaha!
Yang Dong was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.
He hadn't seen such an arrogant young man in a long time.
"Li Fan, I'm waiting to see the day when you trample the entire martial arts world under your feet."
......
As evening approached, the meat stall was closed.
Xiao Jizong mustered his courage and went to his wife.
"My lady, I'd like to go drinking tonight, could you give me five hundred coins...?"
"What good wine can you buy with five hundred coins? Here's two taels of silver, have a good drink, but you're not allowed to stay out overnight!"
Tian Xiaohe took out two taels of silver and handed it to Xiao Jizong.
On a normal day, 500 coins would become 300 coins.
But today is different; a piece of demon tiger meat can net you eight taels of silver.
Looking at Xiao Jizong again, he naturally became more and more pleasing to the eye.
"My wife, you are so good!"
"Stop being so mushy, go early and come back early!"
......
Night falls in the tavern.
The butcher's face was flushed from drinking.
Life is getting better and better.
The once stingy Yang family shop has now become a major customer of the butcher shop.
"Brother Xiao, you're smiling so brightly, are you planning to take a concubine?"
"Erhou, don't you dare talk nonsense!"
Xiao Jizong hurriedly explained, "I will never take a concubine in my entire life!"
"Hahaha, Xiao Jizong, look at you, so henpecked!"
"Brother Xiao, if you're not taking a concubine, you must have struck it rich."
"Hehe, a small profit, a small profit!"
"Brother Xiao, can you show us the way?"
Xiao Jizong didn't say much at first.
But he couldn't resist being urged to drink.
Once he gets drunk, he starts spouting all sorts of nonsense.
"Old Yang's family is making a fortune!"
"These past few days I've been getting over ten kilograms of beef every day. Today I went to sell demon tiger meat, and Manager Yang bought it without even blinking!"
"This kind of consumption must mean that there are martial artists visiting there."
"It might be that mysterious swordsman."
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
The news reached the Lin residence that very evening.
......
"Sir, news has come from the line in the Eighth Route of the South City."
"The Yang family shop has been acting strangely these past few days."
"Send someone to check on this tomorrow!"
In order to find Li Fan, Lin Kaitai has put aside all his businesses.
......
The next morning, Lin Kaitai got up early.
News kept coming back.
"The news from Sanhong Street in the north of the city has been verified; it's not Li Fan."
"The information regarding the Eight Great Alleys in the East of the City has been verified; it's not Li Fan!"
......
He finally received the news he was looking for around noon.
"Master, the news from the Eighth Circuit in the South City has been confirmed: Li Fan has been staying at Yang's shop these past few days!"
I've finally found you.
A glint of light flashed in Lin Kaitai's eyes.
