"Brother Du, the Wu family is very rich. You have to be careful."
After returning to the bookstore, Zhou Jianqiang was still worried. This was because he knew that Du Feng was a new martial artist in Season City and had no power or foundation. If he really had a foundation, he would not have rented his house in the first place. As for why Captain Hai misunderstood, he did not know.
"Well, I will pay attention."
Du Feng knew in his heart that the Wu family would not let this matter rest. He knew very well that he did not know Sir Tu at all. As long as the Wu family investigated, they would definitely be able to find out. However, this was Season City after all. As long as they did not get caught, they could not do anything.
In the next few days, Du Feng did not even leave the shop and did not give the other party a chance to find trouble. He organized an event for the bookstore, which was the opening discount. The first day of the shop opening was 30% off, the second day 20% off, the third day 10% off, and the fourth day restored to the original price.
The 30% discount was actually the cost price recorded by the old man in the account book. If the labor and shop expenses were included, they would still lose money. Fortunately, Du Feng's shop was not rented, and labor was not expensive. Even if it was, he could afford it.
Therefore, when the discount started on the first day, the Ink Bookstore was overcrowded. The area of the shop was not too big, and the inside was already full of people. There was also a large crowd outside. However, the interesting thing was that as the boss, Du Feng did not greet the customers in the shop but hid in the backyard.
One reason was to be low-key and not attract attention. The other reason was that there were not enough talismans and formation plates to sell. Usually, the bookstore mainly sold cultivation technique jade slips. The sales of talismans and formation plates were average, so there were not many reserves. However, due to the discount, the sudden sale of consumables such as talismans and formation plates caused their store's inventory to be empty.
As the boss, Du Feng could only desperately draw talismans and make formation plates in the backyard. In the beginning, he did it one by one. Later, he simply drew talismans with his left hand and made formation plates with his right hand, doing both at the same time. The shop was too busy, so he simply asked Xiao Qiang Qiang's sister, Zhou Jianli, to help.
The salary she got from helping out in the bookstore was much higher than what she could earn from working in the shanty town. At first, she was a little reluctant, perhaps because she felt that it was a little embarrassing to work for someone else. But when he heard about the new tax system, he came happily.
Now that she and her younger brother were both helping out in the Ink Study, it was equivalent to the family earning two salaries. With an increase in income, their mood would naturally be better. Naturally, there weren't as many complaints about Chen Lei's escape. Working women had a simple life to begin with. They had food to eat and money to spend, so they wouldn't think too much.
"Xiao Qiang, go to the backyard and hurry them up. They're running out of stock again."
Su Susu was now acting like the lady boss of the shop. She asked Zhou Jianqiang to go to the back of the shop to ask for more talismans and Array Disks.
"Alright, I'll go now!"
Originally, it was agreed that Du Feng would teach him how to draw talismans and make array discs, but before he could learn, the shop became busy. He went to the backyard and saw the large pile of goods that Du Feng had placed beside him. He put them into the Storage Ring and took them out.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … Big Brother Du is so awesome."
Zhou Jianqiang now admired Du Feng from the bottom of his heart. Not only was his martial arts powerful, but he was also good at making money. He had heard that it took a long time for others to make an Array Disk. Big Brother Du actually made a large pile in such a short time, and he was busy on both sides. When he was not busy, he must learn from him.
Just like that, the first day of the shop passed in a busy manner. When the shop closed in the evening, Su Susu, Zhou Jianqiang, and Zhou Jianli were so tired that they sat on the ground and didn't want to move. Du Feng was still in the backyard. He did not continue to make talismans, but instead cultivated.
He had been busy for the whole day and had used up a lot of True Essence. His body couldn't continue to use up energy like this, so he calmed down and adjusted his breathing. The energy in the underground immortal vein here was much more abundant than in the slums. Coupled with the Spirit Cultivating Pill, the effect was very good.
The meridians and Dantian that had just recovered were like dry land that had been moisturized by the spring rain. Du Feng felt very comfortable all over his body. Unknowingly, his Cultivation had advanced from the middle stage of the fifth level of the Sky Realm to the late stage. He continued to cultivate while the iron was hot, and forgot that the few people outside had not eaten yet.
"Let's go to my place for dinner."
Originally, Su Susu wanted to invite everyone out for dinner, but when she thought of what happened last time, she didn't dare to mention it again. Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Jianli suggested to go to her house for dinner. She was good at cooking, and cooking for three was a piece of cake.
"Sister Li, let's go somewhere else. Let's cook in the backyard kitchen."
Su Susu had become much more well-behaved now. Their Ink Bookstore's business was so good today, and people would definitely be jealous of them. Today, two women and a child went out like this, and they were afraid that they would be plotted against. Anyway, there was a kitchen and a dining room in the backyard, so they might as well cook in their own territory.
This place was protected by an array, and there were also city guards patrolling nearby, so it was much safer than the slums.
"That's right. Then I'll show you my incompetence. Let's go to the backyard together."
Zhou Jianli was not used to cooking in unfamiliar places, but thinking that they had made so much money today, it was not safe to go back to the slums immediately. So, she agreed to stay, and the three of them went to the backyard together. She didn't go to the practice room to disturb Du Feng, and went straight to the kitchen.
Su Susu didn't know how to cook, so she could only watch from the side. Little Qiangqiang, on the other hand, would help his sister with the chores. After a while, a few delicious dishes were ready. After they finished eating, they went to their respective rooms to rest, but Du Feng still hadn't come out of the practice room.
At midnight, the elemental energy in the underground immortal vein changed to the water element. This was a good opportunity to consolidate his Cultivation. The water element was more gentle, and it smoothed out some of the unstable areas. After three o 'clock, the elemental energy in the underground immortal vein changed to the wood element. Wood could make fire, so Du Feng took this opportunity to strengthen his Phoenix Immortal Fire and Star Fire.
After six o 'clock in the morning, he thought that it was about time to get busy with the business of the shop the next day. Just as he was about to call it a day, his whole body suddenly trembled. Cultivation actually broke through from the late stage of the fifth level of Celestial Realm to the early stage of the sixth level.
The resources in the Immortal City were indeed not comparable to those in the exile zone. Du Feng knew very well that in a place like Season City, there were many experts, and there were even more people who could deal with him. It was better to be careful, and the main task at the moment was to improve his Cultivation.
