The casual life of the flat space
Chapter 216: The Swordsman with a Clear Goal
Mu Qingqiu had such a first wish because Xingying cried out when he threw the silver into the well. Thinking that he had disturbed her sleep, Mu Qingqiu quickly explained that he was helping Bai Tieying. But Xingying still cried out "hungry" a few times, so Mu Qingqiu guessed that she didn't understand what he said, so the first wish was wasted...
If he knew there was such a good thing as fulfilling wishes, he would definitely choose to fly in space! Although the sky here is only ten feet high, he found when he flew last time that as long as he kept running towards the fog, he would feel like he was always going up... Alas! What a pity.
After dinner, Bai Tieying arranged a group "skipping stones on water", but none of the three uncles could do it, which meant that it was really "skipping stones on water". Only Mu Qingqiu changed from zero to "contracted resident stored ten energy points".
What did he, a resident who signed the contract by accident, need energy for? Or in the form of "skipping stones on water"? Bai Tieying asked Mu Qingqiu to try to think of some things he wanted to do in the space to see what these ten energies could do -
As a result, she saw Mu Qingqiu suddenly rise up to about three meters, and then fell down at a faster speed. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise Mu Qingqiu would have to recover from this injury for another three months.
Bai Tieying tried it herself. The energy she used to rise to a height of three meters was negligible, but to maintain this height, she needed to consume energy continuously. It was just like in the original world, the electricity cost of turning on the air conditioner was negligible, but if she wanted to maintain a certain temperature, the electricity cost would increase rapidly.
Bai Tieying felt that the energy was not worth it, but Mu Qingqiu was very excited. He would be able to fly soon, as long as he had money! Uh... where would he get the money from? His mother was far away, so it would be no problem for him to ask General Zhao for 1,800 taels, but he would have to pay it back! And at that speed just now, 1,800 taels might not even be enough to fly two miles.
From then on, how to make money became a stone in Mu Qingqiu's heart.
Not long after coming out of the space, Bai Tieying received good news - County Magistrate Xiao was dismissed from office, his property was confiscated and he was exiled.
"Sister Zhou, why are you here?" Bai Tieying was cleaning the clinic. When he saw Zhou Shuqin walk into the clinic with a panicked and excited look on her face, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"How are you, Doctor Bai? How are you, Sister Tieying?" Zhou Shuqin stepped forward to salute, but her words were a little too fast. Without waiting for her uncle to salute back, she quickly stood up, walked to Bai Tieying's side and said:
"Tieying, Xiao, County Magistrate Xiao's house was confiscated!"
"What? So fast?"
"Not any faster, not any faster. I've been waiting for almost two months."
"How did you know? Oh, don't just stand there. Come on, let's talk in the back."
After Bai Tieying pulled Zhou Shuqin to sit down and drank some tea, Zhou Shuqin still looked nervous.
"Tieying, stop working. I don't want to eat." Seeing Bai Tieying preparing snacks for her, Zhou Shuqin held her back and said, "I didn't expect County Magistrate Xiao's property to be confiscated so severely. I thought he was transferred because God was looking after him, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Zhou Shuqin stroked her chest to suppress her emotions, took a breath and continued:
"There are still two employees left at Bafangke. Since they are not open for business, I arranged for them to go and get information every day. They were supposed to return to Bafangke every evening, but I waited and waited yesterday but they didn't come back. It was almost the second watch when they came back exhausted.
The first thing they said was that the county magistrate's house had been raided. When they saw a group of soldiers surrounding them, they wanted to go back, but it was too late. All the pedestrians near Cheng'en Street were rounded up, and they were only released just now after their identities were verified.
Yesterday was a holiday and it was too late, so I didn't come to bother you. This morning I asked Sanzi and his two sons to check it out, and it was really sealed, with a seal on the door!
The gate of the county government office was also closed, and there was not even a gatekeeper. You said this is true, right? There can't be any reversals, right? But will the matter of my house implicate me?"
"Hahaha, Sister Zhou, this is what they call evildoers will be punished by God. Just put your heart at ease!" Bai Tieying clapped his hands and laughed.
"Ah, what are you trying to do at this time? It seems to be the case, but there is no definite news, and I am not sure at all!"
"Okay, Sister Zhou, go back and do as I told you before, recruit people for training and start rebuilding Bafangke! I'll also go and ask around, and I'll let you know if there's any definite news."
"Is it really okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure the information I get here is more accurate than yours. If you're still worried, just wait until I get more specific information."
After seeing Zhou Shuqin off, Bai Tieying couldn't contain his excitement. He said goodbye to his uncle and went into the space to find Mu Qingqiu.
When Mu Qingqiu saw Bai Tieying asking him to talk to General Zhao about the cooperation, he suddenly thought that if this food factory was really as good as Bai Tieying said, then he should also take this matter seriously and... earn some money!
So he and Bai Tieying left the space, first went to Chunfutang to inform Manager Zhang that they would entertain General Zhao at Zhiyin Restaurant at noon, then asked someone to deliver an invitation to General Zhao in the name of Mu Qingqiu, and then went to Sijixin to buy suitable clothes.
Mu Qingqiu has been wearing Uncle and Uncle Dafu's clothes for a while now. Bai Tieying doesn't care about these things, she wears whatever is comfortable for her, and Mu Qingqiu doesn't care even more, anyway, it's okay as long as she's not naked.
Mu Qingqiu himself didn't care what clothes he wore. Except in the capital, he traveled all over the country with his uncle, and the better he wore, the more cumbersome it was. So except for his better-looking face, he was no different from a 16 or 17-year-old kid from a well-fed family in the county town.
On the way, when Bai Tieying was showing off the origin of the "50% off VIP card" to him, Mu Qingqiu suddenly realized that he might have overlooked Bai Tieying's own abilities. They had spent the most time in contact in space, and they had always thought that Bai Tieying could "call the wind and rain".
But her life outside was getting better and better. From a helpless village girl, she had won the trust of the villagers and had contacts with many people in the county town. If the food factory she mentioned could succeed, her life would take another step forward.
Any one of the methods she just mentioned could provide a store with new ways to increase revenue, but she was only looking to cut prices and didn't care about these golden ideas that could help her grow faster and higher.
She was like a swordsman with a clear goal, she had her own martial arts realm she wanted to achieve, she only focused on her goal, and only wanted to practice her winning move. As for other things like boxing manuals, stick techniques, etc., which could help her practice her moves to a certain extent, she didn't care at all, just because that was not what she wanted.
