After he was done, he gave his family a call. Originally, it was once every half a month. This time, it was a little more than a month.
There was a female voice on the other end of the line. After the call was connected, she complained, "You still know how to call back?"
Ren Baqian laughed dryly and said, "I've been rather busy recently. I've set up a company with a friend, and I'm constantly on the move."
"Company? What company? Where did you get the money to start a company? " When Ren Baqian's mother heard about the company, she immediately forgot about her complaints. She was afraid that her son would be cheated by others outside.
"I'm providing the technology, and my friend is providing the money. Furthermore, a venture capital firm has taken a liking to it and has invested in it," Ren Baqian said half-truthfully.
Explaining to his parents that he was a venture capitalist was much easier than explaining things like the black mud cream and pharmaceuticals.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain the money in his pocket.
After talking for a long time, he finally managed to convince his mother. Ren Baqian continued, "I have transferred 300,000 yuan to your card. Both of you should spend it and have some fun."
"Why are you giving me money? It's not like your dad and I are short of money." The mother grumbled. However, it was a happy thing that her son had transferred 300,000 yuan. It meant that her son had indeed earned money. In the future, his relatives would not look down on him.
"Keep it for your and your brother's wedding gift," his mother said.
"You don't have to keep my betrothal gifts. I still have a lot of money here, and I didn't transfer all of it to you. I still have a few hundred thousand. If there's anything Little Brother likes, buy it for him. " Ren Baqian laughed. After chatting for more than ten minutes, Ren Baqian hung up the phone after his mother reminded him not to spend money recklessly and to save more.
In the afternoon, Ren Baqian ran another lap.
The work of the ten odd-job workers was very tiring. He had said that if they did a good job, he would not treat them unfairly. Therefore, he could not just make empty promises.
Rewards were definitely out of the question.
After thinking about it, Ren Baqian decided to get something to eat.
Ren Baqian bought a lot of Goubangzi roasted chicken, braised beef, and pork knuckles from the most reputable restaurant. It was enough to feed more than ten people.
The food in that world was much worse than that on Earth. After all, there weren't as many types of spices, and there weren't any recipes that had been continuously improved by generations.
Ren Baqian reckoned that the amount of food on Earth would make those people lick their plates clean.
As for wine, Ren Baqian gave up on the idea after some consideration.
He could say that he made the food himself. Wine could not be brewed in a day or two.
When he went to bed that night, Ren Baqian tied the two big bags of food to his body with a rope. When he woke up again, he was in the room that he had just been assigned to.
It was already dawn outside, and the light was already shining through the paper window.
Ren Baqian changed into coarse clothes, put away his things and food, opened the door, and walked out.
A gust of extremely fresh air blew into his face.
It was great to have unpolluted air.
Ren Baqian felt fortunate that he would only be staying here for three days. Otherwise, if he had stayed here for too long, he didn't know if he would be able to adapt to the various types of waste air in YC City.
In this world, people slept early and woke up early. At this time, some people had already started to wash clothes.
Ren Baqian walked around the ice cellar and saw that one-third of the ice was already piled up.
And this was under the condition that they had to supply the white bear. It could be seen that these people did not slack off at all on the day he left.
However, the basin-shaped ice cubes were not easy to pile up. Ren Baqian was considering whether he should make a few custom square boxes to make ice.
Not long after, many odd-job workers arrived and greeted Ren Baqian. This made Ren Baqian, who had never been a class monitor since he was young and had always been a passerby, feel very good.
They had to work for a while before going for breakfast.
Ren Baqian asked, "Where do we go to forge things?"
"If it's metal products, we have to go to the Baishi district. There are many workshops there." Someone understood Ren Baqian's intention and immediately replied.
"Is it troublesome to leave the beast park?"
"Let's greet Caretaker Shi and leave with a note." “
Ren Baqian nodded his head and said to everyone, "Work hard, I will treat all of you to a good meal tonight."
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, everyone became excited.
Breakfast was vegetable porridge, which was a mixture of coarse grains and vegetables. It didn't taste very good. However, it was still okay in this world. The odd-job workers' meals were even worse than this.
After breakfast, Ren Baqian looked for Caretaker Shi and said, "Caretaker Shi, I need to go out and forge a few metal boxes."
"I also need to go out to settle some matters today. If you are not in a hurry, you can come with me," Caretaker Shi said.
Ren Baqian laughed, "That would be the best."
He did not even know where the gate was, let alone the so-called Baishi district. It was a good thing to have someone who was familiar with the surroundings and the local customs to go out with him.
Otherwise, he did not know if he would offend other people's customs because he did not know. If that happened, he would be beaten up.
After Caretaker Shi finished his work, he changed into a set of clothes that were obviously of a higher quality and pulled Ren Baqian out.
The beast park was connected to the palace. However, there were other exits in the beast park that were guarded by a few soldiers.
Caretaker Shi flashed the token on his waist and brought Ren Baqian out.
"The next time you come out on your own, you have to use a note. Don't lose it, or you won't be able to enter," Caretaker Shi warned Ren Baqian.
"Going in and out is easier than I thought."
"Otherwise what?"
"No matter what, there should be more guards and more complicated checks, right? Otherwise, what if someone sneaks in? "
Caretaker Shi laughed heartily, "Why would it be so troublesome? The beast park belongs to Her Majesty, who would go there for no reason?
Out of the beast park was a dirt road with woods on both sides. After walking for a distance, they arrived at a residential area.
"These are the residences of the various officials," Caretaker Shi said to Ren Baqian as he pointed to the residences on both sides.
After walking for a short distance, Ren Baqian heard a clamor in front of him. He saw two people fighting.
Or rather, one person was riding on the other person and beating him up.
Both of them were dressed in embroidered clothes and did not look like they were from ordinary families. There were also some people who looked like attendants watching the fight.
Caretaker Shi brought Ren Baqian along as they walked past. Ren Baqian kept turning his head to look. This was really a case of fists hitting flesh. He could clearly hear the sound of fists landing on his face. Even he could feel the pain.
The person on the ground suddenly retaliated. With a kick, he sent the person riding on him flying into the wall. He really flew into the wall and created a big hole.
Ren Baqian gasped when he saw this scene.
"No one is going to do anything?" Ren Baqian asked.
"What's there to do? It's just a fight, "Caretaker Shi said casually.
"I don't think anyone is going to help?"
"Of course, they are drawing a circle. If someone interferes, they will be ridiculed to death," Caretaker Shi said.
At the same time, he warned Ren Baqian, "If someone asks you to draw a circle, don't be afraid, just beat him up. Whether it's the officials in the imperial court or the commoners, just beat them up. "
Ren Baqian thought for a long time. Drawing a circle might mean a one-on-one duel. According to the literal meaning, whoever stepped out of the circle would lose.
"But can we even beat up the officials in the imperial court?" Ren Baqian asked curiously.
"If he asks you to draw a circle, of course you can. But you can't ask him to draw a circle. If that's the case, the officials in the imperial court will be exhausted to death. "
Ren Baqian grinned. This seemed to be similar to the duels in some ancient countries.
If you provoke any of the officials in the imperial court and they challenge you to a one-on-one duel, you can retaliate and beat them up. Furthermore, from Caretaker Shi's words, it seemed that there was no need to worry about revenge.
Ren Baqian measured his own physique. These days, all the people he saw were tall and strong. Their arms were big enough to run a horse. He reckoned that even if a few of him were to be tied together, he would not be able to defeat them.
Looking at the situation of street fights in this world, Ren Baqian seriously considered whether he should carry a stun baton or pepper spray with him to protect himself.
"Do the officials in the imperial court often find people to draw circles? For example, what will happen if you offend them? "
"Most people who offend them will only get their guards to teach you a lesson. Unless the other party is also an official in the imperial court. "
"Do the officials in the imperial court also draw circles?" Ren Baqian asked curiously.
"Of course, there are fights in the Throne Room every two to three days. A few days ago, the King of the Nation and the General of the North were approved by Her Majesty to draw circles on the palace wall. At that time, there were many spectators below. Some of them went one day in advance to secure a spot. "
Ren Baqian felt awkward when he heard about drawing circles. However, after listening to Caretaker Shi, he had a direct understanding of Dayao's intrepid customs. Even though he knew that the people of Dayao were intrepid when they were drinking and chatting, but after listening to Caretaker Shi, he finally knew how intrepid they were.
Fighting in the Throne Room every two to three days and the empress approved a one-on-one duel on the palace wall. Just thinking about it made his teeth hurt.
