Chapter 274: Wealth Takes Life, Evil God Bewitches the Soul
The first thing to do, of course, is to celebrate. Without money, it's hard to make friends; with money, everyone in the world is your friend.
The flower boats on the water, the lights in the flower boats, and the girls in the lights are all beautiful.
All his former friends would do was to make a small noise with the lips, and they would come to him like domesticated pigs and dogs.
The young master looked at these drinking buddies and said, "Let's go and have some fun on the flower boat."
How could these drinking buddies have ever been to such a den of debauchery? In the past, they only sought pleasure in the red-light districts and willow alleys, never daring to go to a brothel?
"The young master is truly a man who hides his true self. Not only does he know the powerful Cui family, but he also has such a taste. He's truly generous, truly generous!"
A few friends flattered and surrounded the young master as he headed towards the flower boat.
The young master laughed heartily. Although his few friends in the past had only wanted a little food and drink from him, they had never been so humble as him.
He had a smile on his face, but there was anger and murderous intent in his eyes.
"You bastards, you teamed up with the gambling house to harm me, let me see how I will deal with you!" The young master was furious in his heart, but he had a happy smile on his face.
Drinking and having fun, with a beautiful woman in front of you and a few dog-like creatures teasing you, how can you not be happy and joyful?
The Five-Direction God is indeed responsive!
Ask for wealth and you will get wealth; ask for luck and you will get luck.
I just don't know if I can get what I want by finding a place to settle down in Mingyue Ice Room.
Even though the restaurant business is good, I only earn some hard-earned money.
Although unexpected wealth can bring sudden wealth, it is difficult to last forever. It is impossible to go out and pick up money every day.
Other businesses may not be easy for a young owner to run, but an ice cream parlor is simple. As long as you have the ability to make ice, it is a business that can bring wealth to generations!
They are just fruits, sweet soup, milk, cheese and other things, but they are sold out in large quantities in the ice cream parlor and there is still not enough supply!
In order to attract customers, the gambling house and the brothel spent a lot of money to buy ice from the ice house.
The young master's heart was burning with excitement, as he had already seen countless gold and silver and boundless wealth.
The Mingyue Ice House, which was closely watched by the young master, has closed. Manager Shen is sorting out the account books with the accountant.
He was originally a brother of Chen Shan within the five generations of kinship. He had been working outside with Chen Shan for a long time and was very trusted by Chen Shan, so he was arranged to be the shopkeeper in the county town.
The ice cream parlor business was brisk, but the better the business, the more likely people would be wary of them. They needed to be smooth-talking and tactful. They had to curry favor with everyone, and hide where they could, in order to keep the business while not letting others take advantage of them.
Fortunately, Shen's business still has a good reputation. In addition to the ice cream parlor business, it also does other businesses. The Shen family is not just a businessman. Shen Hai had already filled the vacant position of Wuning County Chief Clerk by donating money. He is not someone who can be manipulated at will.
The accountant was reconciling the accounts, the clerk was counting the goods, and Manager Shen was in a good mood.
After closing, it was late at night before Shopkeeper Shen finally finished his work and prepared to rest.
In such a hot summer, the benefits of an ice room are apparent. The ice basin cools down the room, making it much cooler than outside.
Shopkeeper Shen fell asleep and in a daze, he heard a rustling sound.
“Shen Youwei…Shen Youwei…”
A faint voice sounded in the ears of Shopkeeper Shen. He stood up following the voice, walked through the gate and went outside.
I saw five young men in gorgeous clothes standing in the courtyard. They looked very handsome, but their skin was pale, like masks.
"Chen Youwei, where does the ice in Mingyue Ice Room come from?" one of the young men asked in a shrill, heart-pounding voice.
Shopkeeper Shen was groggy and couldn't help but answer, "It was shipped from Wuning County by water."
The young man frowned and asked, "Where does the ice in Wuning County come from?"
Shopkeeper Shen was about to speak when he suddenly woke up and asked, "Who are you? Why are you asking about our ice room?"
Another young man said in surprise, "It's strange that he could wake up from the spell of bewitching."
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Shen felt something was wrong and was about to turn around to leave when he saw the young man waving his hand, and an invisible force pressed on him, as if someone had driven an iron nail into his head, giving him a splitting headache.
The young man chanted a spell, and Shopkeeper Shen answered every question.
Another young man laughed and said, "So you've obtained a rare treasure and a chance. Silang, do you know what kind of treasure can turn water into ice in the middle of summer?"
Wutong Shilang said, "Turning water into ice is not a difficult task. Anything that accumulates Yin or a water spirit can do it. Perhaps it is the elixir condensed by the water spirit that is condensing it. It is becoming less and less with each day it is used."
Wutong Wulang, the young man with the shrill voice, said, "A mortal man can take a treasure if he finds one. Ma Zengguang wants the secret method, so we'll give it to him. How long he can use it is none of our business."
Wutong Dalang said, "The Ma family has done a lot of good deeds, and Ma Zengguang has a lucky life. A rare treasure that becomes less and less with use can be exchanged for good deeds and a lucky life. This business is worth it."
Wutong Erlang laughed and said, "If a little bit of wealth can shake the Queen's destiny, she will never be able to leave us. When this rare treasure is used up, we can ask her to borrow money from the underworld and take on the debt of the underworld. His descendants, generation after generation, will have to repay his debt of the underworld. It's worth it!"
Wutong Dalang said with a smile, "It's a rare blessing. If we can complete this task, our superiors will definitely reward us. But we have to go to Wuning and endure some hardship."
Wutong Sanlang stretched lazily and said, "Just think of it as going out for some fun. I'm tired of playing in the county town, so it's a good time to relax."
Wutong Shilang laughed and said, "I think you are lustful again."
Wutong Sanlang said, "Don't worry, I always invite a few brothers to play together. I will never eat alone."
Several evil gods laughed out loud. Wutong Wulang glanced at the confused soul of Shopkeeper Shen, and suddenly waved his sleeves, stirring up a gust of cold wind.
Shopkeeper Shen was swept up by the gloomy wind and flew away to an unknown place.
Wutong Dalang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Naughty."
As he spoke, the Five-Directional God turned into a cold wind and disappeared into the Moonlight Ice Room.
Before dawn, the ice-carrying ship from Wuning County had already arrived at the Jinhua dock.
But after a long time, no one showed up to make the delivery, so the captain frowned and looked a little puzzled.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, causing the sails to flutter and the waves to surge.
The captain's face changed and he shouted, "Be alert!"
He had seen countless strange things while sailing, but this wind was so strange!
He just gave the order, but it was too late.
A puff of white smoke spread across the ship, and the captain suddenly felt dizzy and groggy. He clenched the pipe in his hand and pressed the hot copper pot against his thigh. He suddenly shuddered in pain and woke up.
Then five people in gorgeous clothes fell from the wind like flying birds.
The captain knew that he had encountered a monster, so he lay on the ground motionless and pretended to be unconscious, with only his ears perked up, listening to the movements around him.
