130　　She is truly charming and enchanting.

　　Behind her, there was an old man with a big pipe on his waist and an account book in his hand. He said, "Boss, we received ten orders this month, including one from the owner of Hongtai Cloth Shop... We earned a total of 8,000 taels of silver. After deducting the commission, we made a total profit of 3,000 taels."

　　"Oh, this business is getting harder and harder now."

　　After listening to the old man's report, the woman complained.

　　At this time, a waiter came up and brought a bowl of fresh tofu pudding with some red liquid poured on it.

　　The woman stirred it, scooped out a spoonful, put it in her mouth, leaving red juice on the corners of her mouth.

　　The white tofu brain and the red juice look like human brains, eerie and scary.

　　The woman took a bite of tofu pudding, and the old man continued, "By the way, Boss, a man came yesterday and wanted to pay two thousand taels to kill a member of the fishing gang."

　　"Two thousand taels?"

　　The woman narrowed her eyes and asked, "Manager level?"

　　The old man said: "No, he is Peng Shizhong's adopted son."

　　"Ahem…"

　　The woman was immediately choked: "Did you answer it?"

　　The old man said, "Not yet, so I came here today to ask the head of the family."

　　After hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"

　　The old man said, "In our black market business, we have always dared to do business with anyone who dares to bid, but Peng Shizhong is not easy to mess with. Your subordinates are undecided."

　　The woman narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, that's right. Peng Shizhong is not easy to mess with, and his adopted sons are also very powerful. If you want to kill them, you have to at least send out Class A assassins. But those guys are unlikely to offend Peng Shizhong for just a few thousand taels of silver. So who are they going to kill? Feng Xuan?"

　　The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not Feng, Zheng, Lu, or Deng. It's Peng Shizhong's new adopted son. It's said that he will be holding a ceremony in two days!"

　　The woman said, "Oh, so it means you haven't officially accepted it yet?"

　　"Well, no."

　　"What's your name and how strong is it?"

　　"I checked and found out that his name is Chen Jiusi, and he is from Xiantao Town. He is also Bai Wenjing's apprentice."

　　"Bai Wenjing, he's an old man. It's really hard to bear for him to lose his apprentice."

　　"How strong is it?"

　　"He is in the Flesh Training Realm, and he is quite powerful. He once defeated Yu Biao of the Cao Gang in the ring."

　　"Oh, he's still a young hero."

　　The woman narrowed her eyes even more, like a venomous snake, and said, "Haha, you haven't officially displayed your power yet, and your strength is only at the Flesh Training Realm. Okay, we can do this deal, but two thousand taels is too little."

　　"I asked him to increase it to three thousand taels."

　　The woman muttered, "Three thousand taels, that should be enough. Those Class C killers should be interested."

　　After saying this, the woman said, "When the money is in place, we'll put down the roster."

　　The woman stood up and said, "Hey guys, we're open for business!"

　　"Yes, shopkeeper."

　　As the guys were talking, they prepared tofu pudding. Only tofu pudding would be sold in the morning. The old man nodded, took the roster and left.

　　Watching the old man leave, the woman sighed and said, "Ah, I am such a miserable person. I sell tofu and have to manage the fighting and killing in the martial arts world. It really makes me worry."

　　"It's hard to make money."

　　As she spoke, the woman fixed her hair and asked the guys to open the door.

　　The next moment the door opened, and the people outside immediately started to make a noise: "Wow, the tofu beauty is out..."

　　The woman walked out with graceful steps, waving a beauty fan.

　　He looked around, waved his hand and said, "Open for business, come and eat tofu!"

　　Hearing this, all the men seemed to be excited: "I'll have a bowl, I'll have a bowl too."

　　Looking at the crazy man, the woman laughed and said, "Haha, wait a minute, wait a minute, we have everything, we have everything."

　　The woman waved the beauty fan in her hand and laughed sweetly.

　　That curvy figure and the bold dress had a great impact in that era. The kind of clothing similar to the modern cheongsam was something that women of that era dared not wear.

　　And the way she was dressed really made her look deadly.

　　Seeing the men rushing over, the women around all looked at them with hostility.

　　Bah, vixen.

　　The women looked at these women and smiled.

　　The men squeezed hard to get a bite of tofu. Fortunately, the guys in the tofu shop were all capable.

　　No matter how crowded the crowd is, men cannot squeeze into the core circle.

　　Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaohu said foolishly: "Brother Jiusi, is this tofu really so delicious? Do you want to buy a bowl for Ruirui?"

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "Rui Rui may not like this tofu. Okay, let's go."

　　Chen Jie did not continue looking. The woman did have a good figure, and her attire was considered bold in that era, so it would attract a group of inexperienced people. But he was an experienced person, and not to mention exposing such a little, he had even seen bikinis before.

　　But it's really big and spectacular!

　　Chen Jie took a quick glance.

　　Xiaohu said, "Brother, what are you looking at? You want to eat tofu too, do you want me to queue up and buy it?"

　　"Don't talk nonsense, brother, I don't eat tofu!"

　　Chen Jie emphasized his own purity.

　　Xiao Hu said, "But you said yesterday that their tofu was well made."

　　"I like to eat that tofu, not this one."

　　"But they are a family."

　　Chen Xiaohu was indeed mentally retarded and knew nothing about women. He didn't understand why the tofu shop was so popular.

　　But Chen Jie understood, but he didn't want to get involved.

　　After Chen Jie and the other man left, the woman looked over here. After all, among the men who walked through her tofu shop, very few would look at the tofu and not buy some.

　　So she took a closer look.

　　But she didn't care. Her tofu business was so popular that she didn't care about one or two customers.

　　And she sold tofu just to prove to some damn bastard that she could support herself without killing people.

　　As for how much money you make from selling tofu, it doesn't matter.

　　She gets angry whenever she thinks of that man. He deserves to be wanted by the court!

　　Chen Jie came to a small noodle stall, sat down, ordered two bowls of noodles with soft meat, and began to eat with great relish. When he was full, Chen Jie went to buy some buns and brought them back. His wife and the little foodie had not eaten yet.

　　After finishing all this, Chen Jie returned and found that the tofu shop was closed, with a sign saying "Sold Out"

　　This thing sells out really quickly. Then I saw a group of men carrying bowls of tofu pudding appearing at various snack stalls.

　　The tofu shop didn't even provide a place to eat breakfast, and Chen Jie also asked around and found out that a bowl of tofu pudding cost ten cents, which was more than three times more expensive than the three cents a bowl in other places.

　　But there are just not enough to sell every day, which shows that the beauty economy is unlimited.

　　Thinking of this, Chen Jie returned home. His wife and little kid had already woken up.

　　When the little bean saw the big bun, he pounced on it directly. Chen Jie felt very happy seeing the little bean eating it so sweetly.

　　After eating, Chen Jie went to Baihu Hall.

　　The White Tiger Hall was preparing for a banquet when Chen Jie met Feng Xuan. Chen Jie asked, "Brother, is there anything I can help you with?"

　　Feng Xuan said: "Well, it's okay, you can have a good rest these two days, don't worry about you and Lao Liu's affairs, your godfather has arranged it, you just need to wait for the day of the banquet to attend."

　　"Hmm? Sixth?"

　　Chen Jie was bewildered.

　　"Where did Lao Liu come from?"

　　Feng Xuan said: "You don't know, this time the foster father is going to adopt two foster sons, you and Lao Liu."

　　"Who is Lao Liu?"

　　Chen Jie asked, Feng Xuan said: "Zhou..."

　　"Brother Jiusi!"

　　Feng Xuan was just about to say Lao Liu's name when he saw someone greeting him from a distance, and then he saw Peng Shizhong accompanied by an old man and a young man coming out.

　　Seeing the young man Chen Jie and Xiao Hu were stunned: "Old Zhou!"

　　"Haha, it's me."

　　Zhou Chu was very happy, but at this moment, the old man next to him coughed lightly.

　　Zhou Chu immediately regained his serious expression. Chen Jie looked over and quickly bowed, "Greetings, Senior Sun."

　　You think who it is? This old man is none other than Sun Buer, the former escort chief of Shunfeng Escort Agency.

　　He was the old escort leader Sun who presided over the Baozheng War and had a good relationship with Du Dajin of the Jiangnan Longmen Escort Agency.

　　Sun Buer smiled and said, "Chen Jiusi, I know you, a young hero. Master Peng has a son who is as good as me. Master Peng will have to worry about you more in the future."

　　Peng Shizhong heard this and said, "Haha, Zhou Chu is also kind-hearted and a good candidate."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie and Zhou Chu's expressions froze. Isn't praising someone for his kindness the same as scolding him?

　　Is it that there are no merits to be found in other aspects and we can only praise him for his kindness?

　　However, Chen Jie did not expect that Zhou Chu could actually worship Peng Shizhong as his adoptive father. What's more important is that this kid's father-in-law is actually Sun Buer from Shunfeng Escort Agency.

　　But after thinking about it more carefully, Chen Jie understood.

　　I have always overlooked the fact that Zhou Chu was here to gild his reputation. He stayed in Yulan for less than a year and was then transferred to Mianshui County.

　　You can imagine that this relationship is very strong.
