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

The next morning.

Jiang Li felt refreshed after waking up. He looked at Ren Tingting, who was still sleeping soundly, exhausted after a night of fierce fighting, and couldn't help but sigh.

During the 28 years of single life in my previous life, although I had acquired countless theoretical knowledge, I always lacked practical experience.

Last night, he finally combined theory with practice and became a true master. Facing a beginner like Ren Tingting, he naturally won easily with just a few moves.

Jiang Li kissed her cheek gently, and when he felt her blink, he started to feel evil and reached out to grope around in the quilt.

Ren Tingting couldn't pretend anymore, so she grabbed his hand and said, "Husband, don't be like this, we still have to go meet my parents-in-law later!"

Jiang Li said with a smirk on his face: "I can go by myself. Just tell them that you were too tired to get out of bed last night. They won't blame you."

Ren Tingting said shyly: "How can I do this? How can I face people in the future?"

Jiang Li smiled and pressed on her and said, "What's wrong with that? You are my wife, I can say whatever I want."

Then, his other hand also began to grope in the quilt. Ren Tingting quickly grabbed Jiang Li's hand and said, "Husband, it's really not going to work. Let's go downstairs and greet my parents-in-law!"

Jiang Li gave her a long kiss, then said, "What's wrong? What do you think of me? Am I such an impatient person?"

Ren Tingting bit her lip and said, "How dare you say that? You were so crazy and embarrassing last night. I don't know where you learned that from."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "If we talk about craziness, I'm afraid Miss Ren is not much behind!"

Ren Tingting was so ashamed that she immediately huddled under the covers. Jiang Li patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and get up and greet your parents!"

Ren Tingting then stretched out her white arms, looked at Jiang Li shyly and said, "Husband, close your eyes first. I want to put on my clothes."

Jiang Li smiled maliciously and said, "Why are you closing your eyes? We are husband and wife, what else can't we see?"

After saying that, he pulled back the quilt. Ren Tingting was so frightened that she immediately shrank into a ball, but Jiang Li was not willing to let her do as she wished. He simply pulled her arm and made her sit up.

This made Ren Tingting's face, which was already red, even redder. She ignored Jiang Li's disruption and put on her clothes. After a lot of fighting, the two finally got dressed and got out of bed.

But as soon as she got off the ground, Ren Tingting's legs weakened and she almost fell. Jiang Li immediately supported her. He helped her sit in front of the dressing table and helped her dress up. Then they left the room and walked towards the main hall.

Arriving at the main hall, Jiang Kaishan and Wang Chunhua looked at Ren Tingting who was walking awkwardly and smiled knowingly.

Wang Chunhua saw Jiang Li approaching with Ren Tingting, and scolded him with a stern face: "You are so old, but you don't know the seriousness of the matter. Don't you know how to take it easy?"

This was originally meant for Jiang Li, but Ren Tingting blushed when she heard it. Jiang Li laughed and said, "Mother is right. I will pay attention to it next time. Now let's serve you tea first!"

After saying that, Jiang Li poured four cups of tea, and together with Ren Tingting, he toasted his parents with a cup each and then paid his respects. After that, he had breakfast with his parents and younger sister.

In the next few days, Jiang Li did nothing else but accompany Ren Tingting for a walk around the house. The two of them were very affectionate and sweet for three days.

Every night, they naturally have to spend some time together.

Three days later, the two took a carriage back to the Ren family to visit Ren Fa. Ren Fa looked at the radiant Ren Tingting and said, "It seems that Jiang Li has been treating you well these days. You look much better!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. It is my responsibility to take care of Tingting."

Ren Tingting rolled her eyes at Jiang Li and thought to herself, "He's been very good to me. He's been providing me with a lot of nutrition these past few days."

But she didn't dare say that out loud.

After that, Ren Tingting chatted with her father for a while, and then she went to the kitchen to prepare the meal herself.

At this time, Ren Fa said to Jiang Li, "Ali, what are your plans next?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I've thought about it. What we need to do now is to find a group of reliable people to share the work of cultivating bacteria. This will improve efficiency and free me up."

"It will take me one to two years to grow other types of mushrooms on a large scale, and then I will need my father-in-law's connections and business routes."

Ren Fa nodded and said, "Since you have an idea, I won't ask any more questions. But it's hard to find a reliable person. Cultivating bacteria is a core secret. Even the branches of my Ren family are not trustworthy. I can't help you with this."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry about that. I have asked the housekeeper to take people to the provincial capital to look for those beggars and homeless orphans living on the streets. I believe that with proper training, we will have a group of loyal servants in a few years."

Ren Fa nodded and said, "That's good, but I'm afraid it won't be effective in a short time!"

Jiang Li nodded and said, "That's true, so I plan to pick a few people from the security team and teach them these techniques. We'll talk about the follow-up in two years."

Ren Fa smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. Since you already have a plan, just go for it!"

After that, the two chatted about Huang Silang. Ren Tingting brought people to the table and had a good meal. Then Jiang Li and Ren Tingting went to Aunt Qiu Sheng's store to buy rouge and powder.

After buying a lot of rouge and powder, Jiang Li brought Ren Tingting to the Chinese medicine shop. Ren Tingting asked in confusion, "What are you buying here, husband? You don't want to buy..."

Jiang Li scratched her nose and said, "What are you thinking about? I, your husband, am in good health and don't need any medicine."

Without any explanation, he took Ren Tingting into the store. When the shopkeeper saw Jiang Li coming, he quickly came out and greeted him warmly, "Master Jiang, you are here."

Jiang Li asked, "Did you buy the herbs I asked you to buy?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "You came at the right time. This time I bought four thirty- to forty-year-old Polygonatum, a fifty-year-old ginseng, and a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Please come in and take a look."

Jiang Li was quite happy when he heard about the first few things, but his smile froze when he heard about the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Then he followed him to the backyard warehouse without saying a word.

After checking, Jiang Li bought both ginseng and polygonatum, but did not buy the ganoderma lucidum.

Jiang Li knew that Ganoderma lucidum was a kind of fungus and it was impossible for it to grow to a hundred years because it would be eaten by insects in one or two years in the wild. It would be extremely rare for it to survive five or six years without being eaten.

This Ganoderma lucidum, which is said to be a hundred years old, has only grown a few years longer at most, but the price is based on that of a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. He doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

After bidding farewell to the disappointed shopkeeper, Jiang Li still asked him to purchase rare medicinal materials, but forget about this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
