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

Jiang Li's heart tightened when he heard this, and he immediately decided that he must use Tengteng Town as a base to train a combat-capable security team. If conditions permit, it would be best to train an army.

At this time, Qiu Sheng, Wencai, Aqiang and Ade had already brought the food to the table, while Jiang Youxiao and Jiang Youti, Ade had already brought it out to them.

When Uncle Jiu saw the food was on the table, he invited Jiang Li to eat with him. As for what to eat, it was naturally the chicken and mutton that they brought with them when they left Jiang's house.

After the six masters and apprentices had a hearty dinner, Jiang Li washed up and went back to his room to practice.

To be honest, there hasn't been much progress in this month's practice, which further strengthened Jiang Li's determination to take drugs.

Clearing away his chaotic thoughts, Jiang Li quickly concentrated his mind and entered a state of cultivation. After three hours of long-term mental concentration, Jiang Li's brain was a little tired, so he stopped practicing and fell asleep.

The next morning, after Jiang Li and Uncle Jiu finished their morning exercises, they drove to Renjia Town. Since Jiang Youxiao and Jiang Youxiao also went with them, the four unlucky children had a great time in the charity cemetery and even left a few footprints on the coffin.

...

Back to Uncle Jiu, he had just received the news about the beams of the main hall from Ren Fa, so he took the money and went to do the transaction.

Jiang Li was invited by Ren Fa to have tea in the house. Ren Fa asked, "Did your trip to Maoshan go smoothly, Ali?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "It was relatively smooth, except that we encountered two gangs of bandits on the way. The more than a hundred people we brought back a few days ago were rescued by them."

Ren Fa frowned and said, "Ali, you should try not to travel far from now on. These days, life is getting more and more uneasy. What will Tingting do if something happens to you?"

Jiang Li quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Father-in-law is right. I know in my heart that I went to Maoshan this time for the purpose of receiving the ordination. Now I am a formal disciple of Maoshan, and I will not have to travel far for a long time in the future."

Ren Fa then nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. I know you have ambitions, but you still have a family. You should always think more about them."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Father-in-law is right. I will think more about what I do next time."

"I calculated the time and the mushrooms on the gravel slope should be ready for harvest. I wonder if there are any diseases or insect pests during this period?"

Ren Fa smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ali. I have checked it myself before and there are not too many diseases and insect pests. Even if there are a few abnormalities, the workers will throw them away according to your instructions to prevent the spread of diseases."

"When I went to check the day before yesterday, I found that these mushrooms had already grown spawn. I think we can harvest the first batch in a few days."

Jiang Li nodded and asked, "Then I wonder how my father-in-law plans to deal with these mushrooms. You know, they mature at a relatively concentrated time. If they are not handled properly and all rot, that would not be good."

Ren Fa smiled and said, "I've thought about this before. These mushrooms can't be stored for a long time. After harvesting, a small portion will be sold directly, and the rest will be made into dried goods for easy storage."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Of course it's safe to do this, but has father-in-law ever thought about opening a mushroom-themed restaurant in Renjia Town?"

"Just take the mushroom feast I treated you and Tingting to earlier as an example. I think we should have good business by then."

Ren Fa's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "Not bad, not bad. I still remember that mushroom banquet very clearly. If we really open a restaurant as you said, the business will definitely be booming."

Then, Jiang Li wrote down all the dishes made with mushrooms that he had seen or heard of when he was a delivery boy in his previous life and gave them to Ren Fa.

Then he said goodbye to Ren Fa and went to the gravel slope to check the mushrooms.

When they arrived at the gravel slope, a manager of the Ren family recognized Jiang Li and took him around to check.

Jiang Li took a look around and found that the mushrooms were growing well. The first batch should be ready for harvest in another three to five days. By then, the first large-scale harvest would inevitably be chaotic, so he returned to Ren's house and asked Ren Fa to recruit more people to make early preparations.

For three consecutive days, Jiang Li helped Uncle Jiu to purchase materials to build the Taoist temple, while Uncle Jiu took some blood from the magic chicken in Jiang Li's house and Huang Silang.

With the help of medicinal materials purchased from Dengxianjiaji, two furnaces of six Essence Pills were refined. Jiang Li only took four pills according to the rules. It has to be said that Huang Silang is now the famous Huang Daxian.

With the help of the eloquence of Mao Shanming, a professional con man, Huang Silang was doing very well. He had an endless stream of believers every day and he couldn't even finish eating all the tributes.

At Mao Shanming's suggestion, it distributed the leftover tributes to the elderly and orphans, which in turn accumulated a lot of merit and reputation.

During this period, it not only thoroughly read the three books that Jiang Li gave it, but also began to learn medical skills with the help of Mao Shanming. Once it finishes its studies, its reputation and merits will probably be further improved.

Naturally, he readily agreed to Uncle Jiu's request to draw blood.

...

Back to Jiang Li, he and Ren Fa were harvesting the first batch of mushrooms. Jiang Li looked at Ren Fa, who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and said, "I wonder if your restaurant is ready, father-in-law?"

"Using this first batch of mushrooms to cook dishes for guests will surely quickly make us famous, and money will naturally roll in in the future."

Ren Fa smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ali. I ordered people to suspend and clean our largest restaurant three days ago. I think it should be as good as new now. We can reopen it as soon as this batch of mushrooms is delivered. When the mushroom banquet is served, it will surely be a great success."

Jiang Li nodded and stopped asking questions. After he and Ren Fa weighed the yield of the first greenhouse of about 100 square meters, he frowned and said, "This greenhouse is a total of 100 square meters, and we can get 263 kilograms of mushrooms. Based on this data, after two more harvests, the yield per mu should be around 5,000 kilograms. There is still a big gap between this and my estimate of 10,000 kilograms per mu, right?"

Ren Fa smiled and said, "Ali, you don't have to do this. Didn't you say before that you can plant two crops a year?"

"Adding the ones that were thrown away due to karmic diseases before, the total amount is only a little more. If we can master this technique, our future will definitely be bright."

As he said this he burst into laughter.

Jiang Li, however, poured cold water on him and said, "Father-in-law, don't be too happy too soon. We have to be careful not to leak this matter. We don't have many armed forces at hand now. It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives targeted us."

Upon hearing this, Ren Fa broke out in a cold sweat and immediately asked a few trusted servants to come over. After a stern warning, he gave them dozens of dollars in hush money.

Then he said to Jiang Li, who was frowning, "My dear son-in-law, you are right. Although I have expanded the security team to 30 people before, it is still not enough according to what you said. I will gather people to expand the security team again when I go back."
