Chapter 5: Let’s not show off our wealth

  "Boss, business is booming. Let's cooperate again next time we have a chance." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

  This is the twelfth restaurant in the town he has visited.

  He took it for granted and thought that he could get one or two taels of silver from each restaurant. However, the things he sells are actually quite limited.

  First of all, it's time. Most restaurants, martial arts halls, and even local big families buy vegetables, fruits, and meat in the morning.

  So the things he sells are very limited, which leads to the fact that all he can sell are fresh fruits. Fortunately, his fruits are very fresh and of good quality, so they can be sold.

  He not only visited restaurants, but also went to local big families, so he could sell them. He only went to one martial arts hall because he realized that he had made a mistake. In martial arts halls, meat is more important. No one buys fruits. They are all soupy, and martial arts hall staff prefer to drink.

  After a whole afternoon of tossing, he finally got ten taels of silver, which is a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people.

  Thanks to the local big families, these big families did not hesitate at all and bought directly.

  In addition to silver, he also gained another thing, that is, ability. He gained two abilities, business and eloquence. Because of his peerless talent, the original initial ability value should be 1 point, but now it has become the initial 100 points. This made him very happy. That is why the subsequent transactions will be much faster.

  Abilities need to be activated to take effect, but the activation methods are different.

  He has actually felt the benefits of 100 points of business and eloquence. The most obvious place is that he can judge some emotions revealed on the other person's face and body.

  The second is to make his straightforward words more inclined to the other person's emotions.

  When he talks to himself, many of his words are actually not thought about, so it is easy to offend people. If he does not think about it and combines the observation of words and colors to make corresponding inclinations, then the words he says will change from offending people to complimenting people. People will be happy to hear it and naturally be willing to trade with you.

  "Kind sir... please give me something to eat." Lu Xingshi had just walked out when he was entangled by a beggar, who hugged his thighs as soon as he came.

  "Uh... if you want money, I really don't have it." Lu Xingshi looked at the beggar hugging his thighs. He was not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

  "I really have food if you want it."

  Lu Xingshi was not a heartless person. After all, he was a time traveler from Earth and lived in a modern society.

  If the other party asked him for money, he would refuse, but if the other party wanted food, he would give it to him.

  As he said, he took out a white flour bun from his arms. He had several large warehouses for this thing, mainly used as a reserve of food. He didn't need to eat it, and the game characters didn't need it either, so he saved it all.

  The reason why it was produced was because Lu Xingshi had the idea of hamster fetish.

  In addition to buns, there are other foods, but they must not be given too much. First, the other party's body can't bear it because it is too oily and will have diarrhea after eating it.

  Ordinary people in ancient times could not eat meat and oily food several times a year, let alone beggars.

  Secondly, it is hard to say if he takes it out. It is okay for him to take a steamed bun, which can be said to be stuffed in his arms as dry food, but taking out a roast chicken is a bit too outrageous.

  Lu Xingshi specially selected this steamed bun with dead dough, which is a kind of steamed bun that is occasionally made.

  The beggar was stunned when he saw the steamed bun as big as his fist. He didn't expect Lu Xingshi to really give it to him, and it was so big when he gave it to him.

  This is white flour, which ordinary people can't afford, but the other party gave it to him.

  "Go on, this is my dinner. It's a little cold, but it's enough to fill my stomach." Lu Xingshi saw that the other party was stunned, and then stuffed the steamed bun into his hand.

  After the other party took it, he took a big bite and chewed it in small bites in his mouth.   

  When had he ever eaten something so delicious?

  "Eat slowly, don't choke." Lu Xingshi also warned.

  "Thank... Thank you..." the beggar said in a low voice.

  Lu Xingshi also smiled. It was quite comfortable to be said this to him after doing a good deed.

  "Then eat slowly. I have something else to do. I'll leave first." Lu Xingshi didn't look down on him. Looking at his appearance, although he had hands and feet, he looked skinny and had some scars on his arms. He might not be a beggar voluntarily.

  As for whether he was controlled by someone or a fight between beggars, he didn't know, but he preferred the former. The local gangs were not very polite.

  "Wait a minute." The other party suddenly whispered.

  Because of his high bone structure, Lu Xingshi naturally had sharp ears and eyes. If he were an ordinary person, he might not be able to hear it.

  Then he heard the other party continue to say at a very fast speed: "Hurry up, leave the town, someone is watching you."

  After saying that, the beggar ran away, obviously he was arranged to follow.

  It was just that Lu Xingshi gave him a steamed bun, so he was grateful and informed Lu Xingshi.

  "The value of the fruit is indeed good." Lu Xingshi muttered softly, he knew that his behavior was indeed very conspicuous in the eyes of some people.

  If it were to sell some seasonal vegetables, it would not be a big deal, but with so many kinds of fruits, he still sold them in the form of gift boxes. Ten taels of silver in just one afternoon, someone would definitely be jealous.

  In ancient society, especially in the martial arts ancient society with rivers and lakes, there must be many lawbreakers.

  "Run away first... No, buy the cheats first and then buy the mule, forget it, I won't buy the mule." Lu Xingshi, the speed of the little man in the martial arts game running faster than the horse, and the endurance is even stronger, except that he has no other shortcomings except running.

  The bones of the peerless genius are not covered.

  Just like that, he discovered the usefulness of concentration. If it were him before, his first thought would be to run away, and he would not have thought so much. Panic was inevitable. It was also the first time for him to encounter such a thing.

  However, now, not only is he not panicked at all, but he can also plan his own itinerary.

  There is no need to worry about where to run. Just follow the official road and you will definitely reach the next town.

  After making up his mind, he went straight to the bookstore.

  "Shopkeeper, give me a copy of "Qi Yin Shu" and "Breathing Gong"!"

  Books of this kind are sold in bookstores.

  In addition to these two books on exercises, he also bought some books to understand the Dasong court and the underworld. They are not cheap.

  It can only be said that what is expensive is never the content, but the paper itself. Just these two common goods, people in the underworld can get them without buying them.
