The 808th year of the Daqian calendar.
June 1st.
The weather is clear and sunny.
It has been four days since Yang Dingtian’s store opened. Now Ye Gou and Er Mazi have mastered all the store processes.
The store has been back on track these past two days and is not as busy as the previous two days.
During the day, Ye Gou and Er Mazi took turns selling medicine while the other one ground the herbs.
Zhou Chen came over every afternoon and mixed the various prepared medicinal powders according to proportions to make semi-finished products.
It is a semi-finished product because it is not finally made into pills.
Zhou Chen is now too lazy to do it himself.
He only did the most core part. The previous grinding of medicinal materials and the final pressing of the semi-finished products into pills and drying were all done by Ye Gou and Er Mazi.
In four days, after deducting the costs of materials, labor, etc., the net profit was two hundred and eighty-six taels and four cents.
"I make an average of 70 taels a day, and I take 60%, which is 42 taels."
Zhou Chen was very satisfied. Even if it might decline later, it would not drop too much.
Yang Dingtian is a consumable.
Besides, once you have seen the sea, other waters are just as shallow as yours. After experiencing a supercar, who would want to go back to riding a tractor?
In other words, this thing can be addictive and you can't live without it.
Zhou Chen’s regular customers will continue to grow until they reach the limit of Qinghe City, so during this process, Zhou Chen’s daily income may continue to increase.
Zhou Chen took out two hundred and fifty taels of silver from the account book.
In fact, the bulk of this money has always been in Zhou Chen's hands, and Zhou Chen is not at ease leaving it in this shop.
Every day he would take home the money he earned that day.
After the two hundred and fifty taels were taken away, they were no longer on the books. One hundred and fifty taels of money belonged to him and was the real money he could put into his pocket.
Among them, one hundred taels belonged to Zhang Long.
In the afternoon.
Zhou Chen met Zhang Long in the store and gave him the account book and 100 taels of silver:
"Brother Long, this is last month's earnings, a total of 286 taels and 4 cents. 36 taels and 4 cents will be kept for emergencies, and the rest is our earnings!"
"Brother Long, 40%, exactly 100 taels!"
Zhang Long accepted the money without hesitation, but without looking at the account book, he smiled and said:
"Don't I still believe you?"
"We've made so much money in just four days of opening. It's amazing!"
"This is also because of Brother Long's support, otherwise it would not be so easy to open the store smoothly!"
Zhou Chen smiled modestly.
Now that he had this shop, he finally had more money in hand. After all, his cultivation mainly depended on adding points.
In four days, Zhou Chen's strength also improved by leaps and bounds.
During these four days, Zhou Chen earned about 5,000 Fengyue points, because he was not idle during the day. His soul and Ji Fengxia worked hard in the Fengyue Treasure Mirror.
However, even though Zhou Chen was wearing a loose robe, a bulge could still be seen in the front.
This made many people marvel at Zhou Chen's extraordinary talent and terrifying ability.
This news made Yang Dingtian even more popular, with countless people following him and hoping to become like Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen had used all of his romantic points over the past few days on his Yi archery technique, causing his cultivation to skyrocket and advance to the fourth level of body and bone refining.
He had completed the training of his tendons, which were as strong as a dragon, and his bones as hard as steel. His physical defenses increased dramatically, his energy and blood greatly increased, and his strength broke through fifty thousand pounds.
He could easily defeat someone like Zhang Long with just one hand.
"Let's go to my house today and have a drink together, brothers!"
Zhang Long was in a good mood.
One hundred taels was nothing to him, but it was only four days' earnings.
If the income is like this in the future, wouldn't it be more than 700 taels a month? This income is a lot.
Besides, money is one thing, and Zhou Chen's ability can be seen from it? "Good!"
Zhou Chen was not pretentious. After instructing Ye Gou to inform Qin Hongyu, he went back with Zhang Long.
Ye Gou and Er Mazi also earned several taels of silver in the past few days. They admired Zhou Chen very much and were full of energy. They spared no effort to complete the tasks assigned by Zhou Chen.
And when they had free time, they found a teacher to study and learn to read and write.
After a while, Zhou Chen followed Zhang Long to a luxurious mansion.
Zhang Long raised his hand and knocked on the door, and a servant opened it.
When he saw Zhang Long, he immediately nodded and bowed, then shouted: "The master is back!"
Zhang Long ignored the servant and waved his hand towards Zhou Chen: "Please come in!"
"Brother Long, please!"
Following Zhang Long into the mansion, Zhou Chen saw a group of beautiful girls quickly coming towards him.
The first thing that catches the eye is a beautiful woman in red, with a graceful, plump and enchanting figure, twisting her snake-like waist, swaying in a charming manner.
When a woman lowers her head so that her toes are not visible, she is the most beautiful woman in the world.
This woman is the most beautiful one here.
Moreover, her appearance and figure are also good. She is tall and has a mature charm. She can be said to be a top-notch beauty and the favorite of the thief Cao.
"Chen has met sister-in-law!"
Zhou Chen bowed, because his keen sense of smell detected a strong scent of milk. It seemed that Zhang Long had become a father recently.
The beautiful woman in red was startled, then smiled and said hurriedly:
"Master Zhou, you are joking. I am not your sister-in-law, but your maid Hongxiu!"
Zhou Chen: “…”
But since Hongxiu has given birth to a child for Zhang Long, even if she is not his legal wife, she can at least be a concubine.
It’s not wrong for him to call her sister-in-law.
Zhang Long smiled and looked at Zhou Chen:
"In my opinion, getting a wife is too troublesome. Wouldn't it be better to just find a maid if you need one?"
"In fact, many warriors don't like to marry. Do you know why?"
Zhou Chen was stunned, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Are you afraid of being dragged down?"
"good!"
Zhang Long nodded: "A wife has status and position. If you marry her, she might take care of you. Even if she doesn't, you will still invest a lot of emotion and energy in her."
"Besides, your enemies will threaten you with your wife, which will become your weakness. Also, when you flee, she will become a burden!"
"If you have no feelings for your wife and can throw her away at will when you run away, then why marry her? If you want a woman, wouldn't it be better to just buy a maid?"
"The maids will come whenever you call and will not argue with you. They will only serve you wholeheartedly and please you. You don't have to worry about them when you flee, and you don't have to worry about your enemies using them to threaten you!"
"Brother Long is right!"
Zhou Chen nodded. Being alone, he was free to do whatever he wanted without anyone nagging him.
As for wanting to vent, wouldn't it be more fun to find some beautiful maids than to marry a wife? Maids can be called at any time, and they can do whatever you ask them to do, at any time and any place.
They won't cause you any trouble, they will only bring you happiness.
After all, if she causes trouble, the maid might lose her life.
This is a world without human rights.
Human life is often as worthless as grass.
A beautiful lady in red stood by with red sleeves, still smiling, as if she hadn't heard what Zhang Long had just said.
at this time.
The beauties behind also came around, Zhou Chen took a quick look and saw that there were about ten of them, all of them were beauties.
Their ages are probably between 18 and 27 or 28.
Some are gentle and graceful, like ladies from noble families.
Some are playful and lively, smart and cute.
She is tall and a bit cool, with a very queen-like vibe.
Some are charming and beautiful.
"Brother Long really knows how to enjoy himself!"
Looking at this group of beautiful ladies, each with their own unique characteristics, Zhou Chen was shocked. This is the real land of gentleness.
"Prepare the food and wine, and take out the fine wine from my collection. I want to get drunk with Brother Chen today!"
Zhang Long patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder and pulled Zhou Chen to the hall.
Hongxiu and four or five other beautiful maids followed behind him, while the others went to prepare wine and food.
Arriving at the luxurious carpeted hall, Zhang Longxu raised his hand and said with a smile:
"Brother Chen, please take a seat. Don't be polite when you are at my brother's house!"
"Thank you, Brother Long!"
Zhou Chen smiled and nodded.
"Brother Chen once said that if a woman lowers her head and her toes are invisible, she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Zhang Long glanced at Hongxiu's plump and charming maids and ordered:
"Hongxiu, Cuizhu, you two should serve Brother Chen well!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hongxiu and Cuizhu came to Zhou Chen with a gust of fragrance, knelt on both sides of Zhou Chen, and their tall and mighty figures pressed directly against Zhou Chen's arms.
"Brother Long, how can this be possible?"
Zhou Chen quickly refused. In his previous life, he had heard that high-ranking officials in ancient times used concubines to entertain guests, and using maids was nothing.
But he smelled the scent of milk on Hongxiu's body, and she might have given birth to a child for Zhang Long.
"Brother Chen, are you still shy? I see Brother Chen is having a lot of fun in Xueyuefang!"
Zhang Long joked.
"That's different..."
Zhou Chen couldn't help but raise his doubts: "Brother Long, won't Sister Hongxiu take care of the child later?"
Zhang Long, Hongxiu, Cuizhu and others were all stunned.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Long quickly came back to his senses, couldn't help but hold his stomach and laughed: "I was wondering what it was, turns out you misunderstood, brother!"
"Hongxiu has never been pregnant. I think you may have smelled something on her body. In fact, it was just a special medicine she took!"
Zhou Chen was stunned. Today he was really in trouble.
I didn’t expect Zhang Long also likes this tune.
Also use special elixirs.
I can only say that he really knows how to have fun.
"Poverty limits my imagination!"
Zhou Chen suddenly understood why the farmers thought that the emperor used a golden hoe to grow vegetables.
"Brother Chen, you don't think I'm just doing this for fun, do you?"
Zhang Long looked at Zhou Chen and said seriously:
"As the saying goes, 'Use the strength you have to suckle.' This means that suckling is the best way to increase strength!"
"So many warriors have a few wet nurses at home, and the elixir that can produce milk naturally came into being!"
"You'll have a good taste tonight!"
