My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

After Jiang Li's calculations, everyone finally felt relieved, and Jiang Li also took the opportunity to invite a few people to his home to taste the mushrooms.

Such dishes as pan-fried mushrooms, chicken stewed with mushrooms, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, mushroom and vegetable soup, and shiitake mushroom potato chips. In short, shiitake mushrooms are the main dish on the table today.

Everyone who ate these dishes praised them highly, especially Ren Tingting and Jiang Xiaomei, because they learned that they would not gain weight no matter how many mushrooms they ate, so they kept showing off.

After dinner, Jiang Li was about to send them off, but Huang Silang was looking around from a distance. Jiang Li approached and asked, "Why are you here instead of staying in the temple to practice?"

Huang Silang said angrily, "It's you. You said you would find someone to worship me. I have been eliminating the evil spirit for almost a month. Why hasn't he come yet? Are you lying to me?"

Jiang Li was speechless and said, "Why should they come to worship you? Just because you have shifty eyes?"

"What you need to do now is to improve yourself first, from cultivation to knowledge. When the believers burn incense for you, you can give feedback in time. Do you understand?"

Huang Silang was dumbfounded and said, "What do you mean by comprehensive improvement? What kind of feedback can I give? Can't you just ask them to burn incense for me? It's not as troublesome as you say."

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. You have to have something to attract them, then they will come to worship you."

"The simplest thing is material things. For example, if someone worships you, you give them money or food, and people will flock to you. But do you have it?"

Huang Silang lowered his head and said dejectedly, "No."

Jiang Li then asked, "Can you bless them to get promoted, become rich, have many children and be blessed?"

Huang Silang said again, "No."

Jiang Li said, "That's right. You can't do anything, so why would others come to worship you?"

Huang Silang said without giving up, "Is there nothing I can do?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Of course I have a skill that doesn't require any materials or magic. As long as you can learn it, you will be able to rely on it."

Huang Silang said excitedly, "What is it, tell me quickly!"

Jiang Li took out a few books and said, "This first one is a basic herbal illustration book. It records the names, collection methods and values ​​of various herbs."

"The second one is the Poison Handbook. It introduces the toxicity and names of various poisonous insects and plants, as well as simple treatment and disposal methods."

"The third one is really good. It is a collection of counseling dialogues that I personally compiled. It contains hundreds of carefully selected dialogues, specifically for counseling those who are depressed and confused."

"If you can thoroughly understand these three books, you will surely become the most outstanding soul mentor within a hundred miles, and you will be able to get a lot of followers."

"The most important thing is that these do not require any spells or materials. You can gain devout believers just by talking."

Huang Silang was confused when he heard this and asked, "Can these few crappy books attract believers?"

"You are not lying to me, an old man who has never been to school, are you?"

Jiang Li said speechlessly, "I've said it before. If you want others to worship you, you have to make them gain something."

"The herbs recorded in this herbal illustration can be sold for money, and the things recorded in the Poison Handbook can avoid danger and save lives."

"This last collection of counseling words can enlighten confused believers. These are all good treasures that bring huge profits without any investment, but you don't understand my good intentions at all."

Huang Silang seemed to understand something after hearing this, and quickly took the three books and said with a smile, "Then you just wait for my good news. With my wisdom, I will be able to understand it in a few days. When the time comes, just tell the town and I will be able to keep them."

Seeing that it seemed to understand, Jiang Li said nothing more, turned around, waved goodbye and left.

Coming in front of Ren Fa and Ren Tingting, Ren Fa asked in confusion, "Nephew, was that the weasel you were talking about? What did he want from you?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "He wanted me to promote it so that people would go to worship it. I gave him a few books on herbs so that he could learn them first. Then at least there would be something interesting to see, so that people wouldn't just go there to see the novelty."

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. It can identify herbs to treat minor injuries and illnesses. This way it can also gain the trust of the people. You are thoughtful."

After things were made clear, Jiang Li sent a few people away. He also had to go back to prepare a large amount of fungus strains in preparation for the subsequent large-scale cultivation.

Seeing Ren Tingting's reluctant look, Jiang Li stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, we will get married next month, and we will have plenty of time to talk in private then."

Ren Tingting said shyly, "Who is anxious? I don't want to tell you anything in private!"

Jiang Li didn't say anything else. He just tapped her lips lightly, then waved his hand and left.

After returning home, Jiang Li asked a number of people to prepare bamboo tubes as the substrate, and then cultivated a large number of fungus strains and prepared fungus bags. This work took a month.

During this period, Jiang Li handed over the task of collecting spirit chicken blood to refine the Essence Pill to Uncle Jiu, while he himself focused on preparing the fungus strains. Due to the preparations in the previous few months, the shed had already been built.

After a month of continuous cultivation and planting, a total of 200,000 mushroom tubes have been planted. Once the method of cultivating the mushrooms is spread in the future, the number will definitely increase greatly.

As for these, they were not what Jiang Li cared about now. He was now preparing for the wedding. He rode a horse and brought a group of about thirty people, carrying a sedan chair and various gifts, to the Ren family with the sound of gongs and drums.

After a series of complicated rituals, the bride was finally put into the bridal sedan. The group walked more than twenty miles and finally returned to the Jiang family's new house on time at noon.

Because today is Jiang Li's wedding, Uncle Jiu, Wencai, and Qiu Sheng are all here, and several elders from the Ren family are here too. As for A Wei, because he still has feelings for Ren Tingting, in order to avoid any complications, Ren Fa had already transferred him to the next town to live with his cousins.

After worshiping heaven and earth and having a lively banquet, Jiang Li finally dragged his heavy body to the new house in the evening, which was decorated with red paper and red candles and looked very festive.

Seeing Ren Tingting sitting on the bed clutching her clothes, feeling uneasy, Jiang Li came to the bedside, lifted the veil, looked at her delicate and beautiful face and said, "Tingting, you haven't eaten for a day, you must be hungry!"

"Let's eat something first!"

Ren Tingting had no idea at this time. She blushed and let Jiang Li pull her to the table to sit down. After some affectionate feeding, they drank the wedding wine.

Jiang Li leaned over to Ren Tingting's ear and said, "It's getting late, Tingting, let's go to bed early!"

Ren Tingting blushed and stammered, "I will...I will listen to my husband."

Pulling Ren Tingting to the bedside, Ren Tingting said, "Please have mercy on me, husband."

Jiang Li couldn't hold back when he saw this charming and attractive girl. He turned into a hungry wolf, quickly freed herself from the restraints, and started to study the software hardening project with her.

Ren Tingting exclaimed, "The lights haven't been blown out yet..."

Jiang Li didn't care about all that. He just blocked her tongue and the rest of her words and started discussing the origin of life.
