Chapter 51 Buying Tiger Bone Wine
The next morning, Du Ruor got up at six o'clock to practice martial arts as usual. Now Du Ruor has completely adapted to rural life. He goes to bed before ten o'clock in the evening and gets up on time at six in the morning. His life is very regular.
The morning exercise program is no longer the same as the San Ti Shi. Now I can occasionally practice Bagua Zhang to change things up.
The only change is that Du Ruo discovered that the snake wine had lost its effect. After the breakthrough of the "essence" attribute, its own recovery ability plus the nourishment of the mysterious airflow after adding some points, the snake wine now has no substantial effect on Du Ruo.
The effect of accelerated exercise in the past can now be achieved without the use of snake wine after the breakthrough of "essence, energy and spirit".
"Xiang Yuanyuan should have tiger bone wine with better effects... Never mind... One pound of medicinal wine costs 200,000 yuan. Even if I use it sparingly, one pound can only last for ten days at most, which costs 20,000 yuan a day..."
Du Ruo thought about it and quickly shook his head to get rid of the thought in his mind. It was really not worth it.
Currently, Duruo's B&B makes a profit of about 30,000 yuan per month. The profit will double when the tourist peak season comes. The B&B business will be much slower in winter, so on average, the company can generate about 400,000 yuan in revenue per year.
Generally speaking, it is completely fine for Du Ruo to consume it for martial arts training, but don't even think about tiger bone wine.
"Tsk, but I still have some money on hand. It would be nice to ask Xiang Yuanyuan to buy a bottle of tiger bone wine to keep at home. It would be a luxury for me to use it for martial arts practice, but it would be no problem to give it to my parents."
After finishing the morning class, Du Ruo didn't even sweat today. He called out the attribute panel and added the newly gained attribute points today to essence and qi. He practiced again before going to bed at night. Basically, he could ensure to add a point each to "essence, energy and spirit" once a day.
I practice boxing and palm techniques in the morning, and hidden weapons and fingers in the evening. I make progress every day, and these days are very fulfilling.
After washing up upstairs, Du Ruo saw Yaya sitting on a small stool eating noodles with a bowl in her arms, while Maomao squatted on the ground eating rice soaked in fish soup from the dog bowl.
Originally, this was a very harmonious scene, until Du Ruo saw Yaya secretly put the noodles from her bowl into Maomao's bowl, and then swallowed her saliva and looked at the leftover fish soup in Maomao's bowl. The look on her face...
"Go, sit down at the table and eat."
Du Ruo walked over, picked up Yaya with one hand, and put her on the dining table, asking her to eat her noodles well so that she wouldn't be thinking about the remaining fish soup in Maomao's dog bowl. She might really do such a thing.
"Mom, I'm going to take Yaya to the B&B later. Business there is pretty good right now. I'll go over and give her a try. We won't be back for lunch. I still have beef in my fridge."
Du Ruo sat at the dining table, eating breakfast with big mouthfuls, and then said something to her mother beside her.
"Well, okay, I'll put a few more clothes in Yaya's bag later. She's very naughty and they'll get dirty soon. By the way..."
The mother, wearing reading glasses, was sewing clothes for Yaya with needle and thread. Halfway through her words, she looked up at Du Ruo.
"Remember tomorrow night, I asked your Aunt Xu, and the girl I'm introducing to you just came back from a big city. She comes from a well-off family and is stunningly pretty. Don't forget it."
"Okay, okay, I can't forget my mother. I won't regret it if I promise."
Du Ruo agreed while eating, without much resistance.
To be honest, Du Ruo had been out there for ten years, which was the best time of his youth. He was in love at that time, but resisted getting married because he didn't want to be bound by constraints. Besides, he had a good salary and didn't have to take care of the family.
He lived a carefree life every day, but when he reached the age of 30 and saw his friends and colleagues starting to have happy families, he looked back and felt confused.
It is just as Wang Yangming said: Hide from fate, avoid cause and effect, and all kinds of shackles will trap your true self.
So after Du Ruo acquired the skills, he realized that he should not live like that, but should follow the second half of the sentence: Follow the will of heaven, accept the cause and effect, today I know who I am, and one day I will realize the truth and see my true self.
So Du Ruo came back and no longer resisted blind dates. If she really met someone she liked, Du Ruo wouldn't mind getting married and having children quickly. This did not conflict with practicing martial arts, but was a process that must be experienced in life.
"Well, do you have enough money? Take care of yourself. Your hair is so long and unkempt. Why don't you take care of it?"
Seeing Du Ruo's expression, my mother was happy and couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Okay, okay, let's get a haircut and buy new clothes tomorrow before going on the blind date. Yaya, are you full? If you are, we will set off and go get some dried fish from uncle." Du Ruo quickly finished eating and said to Yaya who was still eating noodles.
"Woo woo~ I'm done."
When she heard about dried fish, Yaya's eyes lit up, her chopsticks almost left afterimages, and she stuffed half a bowl of noodles into her mouth, swallowing while talking.
"Then let's go~~"
Du Ruo put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up Yaya’s small schoolbag on the sofa, and walked out first.
"Maomao, hurry up, little dried fish..."
Yaya wiped her mouth with her sleeve and when she passed by the golden retriever, she saw Maomao still eating, so she grabbed Maomao's tail with both hands and dragged him out.
"Hmm~Wang..."
Maomao looked at the last mouthful of rice and soup in the dog bowl, cried out, and was dragged by Yaya into Du Ruo's car.
……
"Yuanyuan, are you up yet?"
The car stopped outside the rented house. Du Ruo did not go back to the yard directly, but went to the door of the tavern opposite and shouted.
"It's up, it's up, what's the matter?"
Xiang Yuanyuan poked her head out from the second floor. Her hair was fluffy like a bird's nest and her eyes were a little hazy. It was obvious that she had drunk a lot yesterday.
"Buy some wine, open the door quickly."
Du Ruo was not at all surprised by Xiang Yuanyuan's condition. It would be strange if she didn't drink one day.
"You ran out of medicinal wine so quickly?"
Xiang Yuanyuan opened the small door of the pub in her slippers, and then walked straight upstairs. Her back was graceful, especially the silk pajamas that could not hide the roundness of her buttocks.
"I won't be able to use snake wine anymore, so I'll buy a bottle of tiger bone wine."
Du Ruo glanced at Xiang Yuanyuan's back as she went upstairs, turned his eyes away, then let Yaya walk in front and explained something.
"Tiger bone wine?"
Xiang Yuanyuan stopped and turned around immediately when he heard this. This was a big business, especially with Du Ruo's consumption speed. It was enough to do business for just him.
Yaya, who was behind her, didn't expect Xiang Yuanyuan to stop suddenly. Her head hit the other's buttocks. She didn't know whether she didn't stand firmly or because the elasticity was too great, but she fell backwards. Du Ruo was quick to pick up Yaya.
"I don't need it. It's too expensive. Give it to my parents."
"Oh, then I'll help you mix it later. Nine catties of strong liquor to one catty of tiger bone wine. Usually, you can drink one or two catties. Don't drink more."
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded and smacked her lips before continuing to go upstairs.
