To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

The house, though small, was well-equipped. A stone-built toilet sat in the corner, connected to a newly installed sewage pipe below. Across from a row of small courtyards were apartments housing businesspeople, employees, and government officials. It was a nice part of the mountain town.

Compared with most wooden stilt houses in the mountain city, this house is obviously warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

The previous owner, a minor official in the government, wanted to sell the house because he was being transferred to Rongcheng on official business. He demanded a hefty price of 1800 taels of silver, not legal tender. After some bargaining, the price was 1,600 taels of silver.

After paying the 52-franc deed tax at the government office, Li Fugui received the deed. This was because the Li family arrived early. If they had arrived two months later, they would not have been able to buy the house for double the price.

However, labor costs in the mountain city are much cheaper than in the Magic City. After hiring a few temporary workers to clean up the yard, the Li family settled down in the mountain city.

The newspaper where Li Wenting works is really running at a loss right now. They haven't even arranged for the printing factory yet, so it's just a makeshift team. Li Wenting doesn't want to work in this crappy job for a single day.

Li Fugui started his old business again and gave his share of profits to the Pao Ge Society and the police station. His family's braised meat shop reopened. People in the mountain city love spicy food, and some outsiders are not used to heavy-flavored dishes. The Li family's braised meat sold well, but with the wars everywhere and prices rising, the profits were not as good as before.

Earning a few dozen yuan a day was not a problem. At this time, everyone was frugal, and those who could make a living were capable people.

Li Fugui sold braised meat every day, while Li Wenting hired a group of people to dig an air-raid shelter at home.

Li Wenting designed the air-raid shelter next to the vegetable garden in the courtyard, dug ten meters downward, and dug a hole more than one meter deep halfway up the mountain behind the street. Since the underground of the mountain city is made of hard rocks below three meters, Li Wenting also used some technological means.

At night, Li Wenting used the breaker hammer in his space to create cracks in the rock. The next day, helpers began digging. In about two weeks, the air-raid shelter was completed.

Li Wenting dug out an inner room of more than 30 square meters in the air-raid shelter, which was well ventilated. Even if the ground collapsed, ventilation of the other side of the hole could be guaranteed.

Li Wenting made three ventilation holes.

It cost Li Wenting more than 500 yuan to build this air-raid shelter. Li Wenting also took out some high-grade bridge cement and used the excavated stones and cement and steel bars to repair the entrance and passage.

Fearful of death, Li Wenting found a five-centimeter-thick steel plate to make the door of the air-raid shelter. This steel plate could withstand bombs.

Inside the air-raid shelter, Li Wenting used cement to level the ground, and a two-meter-high air-raid shelter was completed.

There are quite a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants in this mountain city, so Li Wen sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder in the air-raid shelter to repel insects.

In the air-raid shelter, Li Wenting also placed a toilet and installed three bamboo beds, covered them with bedding and installed mosquito nets, and placed two water tanks in the corner.

Li Wenting was armed to the teeth. He remembered that the Japanese devils had bombed the mountain city many times.

This air-raid shelter will provide more security once it is completed.

Li Fugui and Liu Guilan are now worried about their son's marriage. Logically, their son should be getting married at this age, but with so many wars going on, there's no suitable one. Previously, their son was too weak to find a suitable one, and later, the current situation delayed it.

This time, Liu Guilan didn't care about so many things. It would be a good thing to find someone who was a good match for her. If there was no such match, she could just find someone who looked like a girl and had good character.

By December, a large number of refugees from the Demon City of Jinling arrived in the mountain city. The mountain city, which could only accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, was suddenly crowded with two million people.

Housing in the mountain city is becoming increasingly scarce. The rent for a single room changes daily and costs 15 yuan per month.

Li Wenting kept going to the government office to inquire, and the clan leader and his clan members finally arrived in the mountain city at the end of December.

Seeing the people back home, Li Fugui and Liu Guilan were filled with tears, thinking about their relatives who stayed in their hometown. They had not received any correspondence for more than half a year since the war broke out.

My eldest cousin was well-informed. He told Liu Guilan, "Auntie, the family is doing fine. Last month, I saw someone from my hometown go to Nanjing on business. I heard that everything is fine. It's just that the Cao family is now working for the Japanese and has become a complete traitor."

The wealthy families around here were all criticized by the Cao family, but your family, which makes a living from cooking, was not affected much.

The family chatted and laughed. At noon, the Li family's yard was full of clansmen. Liu Guilan and the wives of the clansmen steamed five big pots of steamed buns, using up a bag of flour. They also stewed meat, cabbage and vermicelli, and each person held a big bowl and ate it happily.

My eldest cousin was quite capable and bought a house in Shapingba. It used to be a large warehouse for a tea merchant. It had dozens of rooms and a large yard. It could accommodate the whole family if they squeezed together.

The first New Year in the mountain city was spent in the tribe. Li Fugui prepared a big fat pig and sent it to the tribe. Those who were doing well took more, and those who were not so well took less. Everyone celebrated the New Year in a lively manner.

My eldest cousin was also very enthusiastic in digging the air-raid shelter. All the men, women, and children in the clan joined in to dig a large air-raid shelter. Li Wenting also sent dozens of bags of cement.

In 1938, the Japanese devils launched a massive bombing on the mountain city, causing heavy losses to the entire city.

Li Wenting's anti-aircraft guns shot down many Japanese planes.

Tongzi, a greedy guy, was rarely united against the enemy and helped Li Wenting work for free.

The Japanese were furious. They had originally thought that absolute air suppression would allow their planes to fly freely, but they had never expected that the Chinese would shoot down several of their planes every now and then. They had lost a lot of money while trying to steal a chicken.

It would be fine if the aircraft factory produced it, but if the pilot died, it would be a big blow to the Japanese. The pilot was much more expensive than the aircraft. It took a lot of money to keep a pilot, and sufficient flying experience was also required.

The Japs had thought of this, and Li Wenting had also thought of it. With Tongzi's plug-in, the spicy strips in the space could come in handy. The Eagle Sauce militia was also very useful, and with the system's precision guidance, it would be possible to carry out a targeted elimination.

Just a few months into the year 38, the Japanese airports in Wanping and Modu were completely bombed.

Except for the pilots of the two flying squadrons who were out on bombing missions, the rest were completely wiped out. There was no way to pick up the broken pieces.

The Japanese emperor was furious and recalled the commander-in-chief of the invasion of China and replaced him with another commander.

Li Wenting, these are just appetizers, the most disgusting ones must also be eliminated! The bacterial forces in Qi City and Chun City in Bingcheng are the existence that Li Wenting hates with a vengeance.

This bacteriological unit is appalling, using living people for human experiments and committing such evil deeds. These beasts deserve to be put to death.

Li Wenting arrived at the main peak of Phoenix Ridge that night and, under the system's precise guidance, launched over sixty long-range spicy snacks. The kind system also gifted an equal number of interstellar incendiary bombs. Buy one, get one free bundle sale! Take it, no thanks.

The devil's den thousands of miles away suffered a devastating blow.
