Chapter 1947 Zhang Shiming
So the question is, what kind of wedding gift should I give Yoon Eun?
Although Yoon Eun doesn't plan to get married, Liu Xing feels that the gift he should give still has to be given, which is more or less his wish.
But the problem now is that Liu Xing doesn’t know what kind of wedding gifts should be given in this martial arts module. After all, in the real world, Liu Xing gives out cash directly.
Just as Liu Xing began to think about how to give gifts, Zhang Jingxu from Boyang City was squatting behind a tree, pretending to be lazy.
In fact, Zhang Jingxu was secretly observing a person - Zhang Shiming.
Zhang Shiming is Zhang Ran’s junior brother, but his strength can rank among the top three in Zhang Ran’s generation, so he can give priority to selecting qualified disciples every year. Therefore, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he can get a quota for formal disciples every year.
Therefore, Zhang Shiming has a high status in the Zhang family, but he likes to contact outsiders very much and goes out to banquets every now and then.
So Zhang Jingxu got a news yesterday that Zhang Shiming recently had close contacts with a businessman named Liu, and this businessman named Liu only purchased the industry in Boyang City a few days ago.
Therefore, Zhang Jingxu and others subconsciously thought of the alliance's base in Boyang City, that is, the strange yard.
A mysterious force that may be selling private salt.
You should know that some time ago, when the position of the city lord had not been confirmed, then the mainstream would be to move out to avoid the limelight.
So this businessman named Liu who entered the market against the wind was most likely to have to enter Boyang City for some reason, and he intended to get to know Zhang Shiming from now on, which forced Zhang Jingxu to suspect that he had ulterior motives.
Therefore, Zhang Jingxu and several others began to investigate the businessman surnamed Liu, and Zhang Jingxu, who was close to the water and got the moon first, focused on investigating Zhang Shiming.
At this time, Zhang Shiming was chatting with his apprentice, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Although it was quite far away, Zhang Jingxu could vaguely hear what they were talking about.
"After you finish your training this afternoon, you will go to the Ge family dim sum shop to buy me the most expensive dim sum. You can buy some things for the rest of your money."
Zhang Shiming took out a ingot of silver and said with a smile: "But don't steal it for me, you kid. I want to give this box of snacks to someone. And after you buy them, you will send them to Qingxiang Restaurant to the servant at the hall. When he hears my name, he knows where the snack should be placed."
Zhang Shiming's disciple nodded and said happily: "No problem, master, don't worry, I will never delay your drinking, but then again, master, I will be a master soon, so..."
Looking at the disciple who wanted to speak but stopped, Zhang Shiming shook his head and said, "I can understand your mood to stay in the master, but the problem is that your ability is indeed insufficient compared to other disciples of the same generation, so it is basically impossible for you to stay in the master. However, since you are my disciple, then I, a master, will also find a way out for you, such as being a guard captain or a town coach in a town? The former means you will make more money, but you can't just go by casually, while the latter will not make too much money, but you can get the respect of the villagers and you can also live the addiction to being a master."
Zhang Shiming's disciple thought for a while, nodded and said, "Can I be the captain of the hospital guard for a few years first, and then be the coach of the village sang? In this way, I can make enough money first, and then go to the town to build a big house and take my family to enjoy everyone's respect."
"You are a person with ideas, but doing this is indeed your best choice, because your talent for martial arts is indeed very good, but sometimes you can't react. As long as the fight is intense, you will easily get busy. Therefore, when you encounter evenly matched opponents, you only have 10% or 20% chance of winning. Therefore, I did not recommend you to go to the escort agency to make a living. Although there are some risks there, if you escort two or three times a month, your income will exceed that of being the captain of the guard or the coach of the township."
Zhang Shiming said with a pity: "So you could have stayed in the sect of the master, but now you can only be a small captain of the guards. But at least this is due to safety. You only need to catch a thief or something."
"Hehehe, there's nothing I can do about this, who told me that I was born like this?"
Zhang Shiming's disciple touched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "So, please ask Master, to find me a job, because Master, you know so many people outside, you should know who is more suitable to be my future boss."
"That's right, I happen to have a suitable candidate, that is, the shopkeeper Liu who I am going to meet tonight. This person has a good personality and is very generous in his actions. In addition, he is also my good friend, so he will not treat you badly. Moreover, shopkeeper Liu has just moved to Boyang City recently and is hiring a servant to protect the yard, so it's just right for you to go. The most important thing is that the yard of shopkeeper Liu's house is not far from our Zhang family gate, so you can come and see me if you have time in the future." Zhang Shiming said seriously.
When Zhang Shiming said this, Zhang Jingxu suspected that he planned to use this disciple to convey information to him and Manager Liu, because as a disciple from the Zhang family, since he lives so close, it is normal for him to come back to visit his master.
"Then thank you, Master."
Zhang Shiming's disciple said happily: "I knew you would not give up on me by master. Then I will prepare what I want to bring when I get to the master!"
Zhang Shiming nodded and continued, "It's true that it's time to prepare. You have to know that you're successfully starting a master and being invited to leave the master after failure are two different concepts. Simply put, it is a question of how much money is, so you must not be careless and strive to get a successful start! By the way, look for a few more brothers and ask them if they have anything to do in three days. If not, let them be with you that day. I'll arrange for you to help me do something. After the matter is done, your benefits will definitely be indispensable."
Zhang Shiming said as he took out his usual copper coins from his pocket, "You can take these money first and take your brothers out for a good meal, so that they can know that I, Mr. Zhang, will not treat them badly."
Rich people.
Zhang Jingxu looked at Zhang Shiming with some surprise because he was really generous. He just had a ingot of silver and a coin of his life. You should know that the knights in the martial arts world are actually similar to those of the authors of online novels. They are the top-notch people who can make a lot of money because they can get more people's recognition. With more people who recognize them, there will be more tycoons among them. Then the middle part can make some money, but not too much, but it is quite easy to make money, as long as you don't encounter too many accidents.
Finally, the largest number of people, their income may be less than that of ordinary people, or even worse, because they are really not strong enough, and they are just a little bit more than ordinary people, but they also feel that they are people in the world and disdain to do things that ordinary people do.
For example, Zhang Jingxu heard Zhang Ran mention that he had an apprentice before. After entering the Zhang family, he became a little fluttered. He felt that no matter how bad he was, he would go back to his hometown to be a coach in the village. Therefore, every time he was training, he would only do some superficial skills, and the skills he learned were just some erotic styles. If he really wanted to fight, he would not know what adaptability means.
As a result, Zhang Ran's disciple got a failed score when he was in the master's examination, and was "invited" out of the Zhang family.
Then, he sought jobs everywhere in the name of "disciple of the Zhang family outside the school", but he could not find a satisfactory job because he did not have the "graduation certificate" provided by his teacher. He wanted to be the captain of the hospital, but he could only be a team leader. He was like a village coach who went back to be the coach of a hometown man, but was pressed to the ground by the farmer he looked down upon.
According to Zhang Ran's understanding, Zhang Jingxu's senior brother eventually became an escort, but he could only take on some safer escort tasks, but this did not prevent him from boasting to his colleagues that he was actually a hero and came to be an escort just to experience life. His colleagues were basically a group of ordinary people who practiced their families, so he was fooled by him at the beginning, but later he found out that this person was an embroidered pillow.
The result can be imagined.
"There are actually many such martial arts people outside now. Although they are indeed from various famous sects in a sense, the problem is that their strength cannot match their fame, and this fame can be regarded as a force for them to not let go of their status and do things, so they basically hang out in the suburbs of the city and suburban restaurants in various places, bragging about something or taking on small commissions with low risk factors."
At that time, Zhang Ran patted Zhang Jingxu's shoulder and said, "So don't learn from this senior brother. I think he is a waste now. Some time ago, I asked someone to find a suitable job for him, but he still felt that this job was not worthy of him, so in the end there was no follow-up... I suspect that he would use this matter to scold me as a master in the future, saying that I, the master, would not want to pull him."
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingxu felt that Zhang Shiming was a good master in a sense, but where did he get so much money?
As Zhang Shiming's senior brother of the same generation, although Zhang Shiming's strength is a little worse than Zhang Shiming, he can't see this gap as long as he is not fighting for life and death. Moreover, Zhang Ranze mentioned that Zhang Shiming's original family conditions were not much different from him. As a result, Zhang Ran now has to make a fortune with his two junior brothers in order to buy a gift for his friend. Zhang Shiming gave so much money without blinking. You must know that the ingot of silver and coin of the whole family is enough for an ordinary family of three to spend several months.
Therefore, Zhang Shiming should have made a lot of profits from his social circle.
This is very interesting.
In Zhang Jingxu's opinion, martial arts masters like Zhang Shiming are still worth making friends. If there is something to do in the future, you can ask him to stand up for him. After all, in this martial arts module, a hero's speech is still very valuable.
At this time, seeing that his apprentice had already walked away, Zhang Shiming took out a small round card with a rope from his pocket. In Zhang Jingxu's opinion, it was like a toy he played with when he was a child. He directly smashed the beer cover and polished the edges, then drilled a hole in the middle and put it on the wire, so that the beer cover in the middle can be rotated by pulling the wire.
But what is this thing in Zhang Shiming's hand? Why do holes and threads in the middle of this round card?
Could it be that Zhang Shiming is still childish and plans to play with this toy?
If not, then this round card should be a decoration, but if it is an ornament, why do you punch holes in the center of the round card? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be punched at the edge?
Zhang Jingxu, hiding behind the tree, did not dare to keep looking at Zhang Shiming. After all, Zhang Shiming is considered a martial arts master no matter what, so he has a strong intuition.
Intuition, although this thing sounds a bit illusory, it does exist, especially when you are in school, if you suddenly feel your hair stands up when you are absent, you can decide that you are being targeted by the teacher.
However, when looking back, Zhang Jingxu used his light to see that the round card had obvious reflection light, so the round card seemed to be made of metal, so this round card was not really made of beer cover, right?
What a joke? There is not even beer these days, so where does the beer cover come from?
So what exactly is this?
Zhang Jingxu searched for the memory of "Zhang Xiami" in his mind, but he still found no similar items. He only knew that some hidden weapons of some sects might use similar circular disks, but these circular disks are very thin, so that they can have enough lethality. The circular card in Zhang Shiming's hand has a very obvious thickness.
So Zhang Jingxu felt that this round card should be something used to prove his identity.
If this is true, Zhang Jingxu can only suspect that Zhang Shiming got the round card from the shopkeeper Liu, which also means that Zhang Shiming might have reached a consensus with shopkeeper Liu and started cooperation?
"Are the Qingxiang Restaurant?"
Zhang Jingxu thought about it carefully again, only remembering that this fragrant restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in Boyang City. Moreover, the characteristic of this restaurant is the word fragrant in "color, fragrance and flavor". Every dish will smell everywhere when served. Of course, the fragrance here is still mainly fragrant, so this is a very distinctive restaurant.
Moreover, in order to highlight the word "现", Qingxiang Restaurant is located in the suburbs of the city, away from downtowns and residential areas, so that the taste outside can be avoided from affecting the food inside.
So this is also a good place to talk about business.
