Chapter 41 Listen to advice
After Shi Feizhe left the tea stall, he passed by a of the "True Source Sword Finger Technique" he had bought in Sancai Manor before, he went in excitedly and asked if they had the "True Source Sword Finger Technique" for sale.
What if, by chance, I could find another copy of “True Source Sword Finger Technique”?
As a result, he was kicked out.
"We haven't even opened for half a day yet and already we run into a lunatic!" the shop owner cursed.
Come to think of it, in a serious study, who would sell "True Source Sword Finger Technique"!
He did not get angry with the owner of the study and quickly walked to the nearby pharmacy to buy medicine.
This pharmacy is very large, with about four or five storefronts and what seems to be a courtyard at the back. Not only does it sell medicine, but there are also doctors sitting in the pharmacy to see patients. Perhaps the doctors sitting in the pharmacy are quite good, and there is a long queue of people waiting for their consultations.
The medicines Shi Feizhe used were all for relieving fatigue and strengthening blood. For Jianghu Chinese medicine halls, they were even more commonly used than cold medicines, and they quickly packed the medicine for Shi Feizhe.
"Sir, do you want some ice?" the pharmacist who was dispensing the medicine suddenly asked.
"Ice? What ice? Is it serious?" A blue ice flashed through Shi Feizhe's mind. That thing is illegal.
Oh, it's not that world now.
That's all.
The medicine boy looked at Shi Feizhe strangely and said, "Ice is ice, there is no such thing as formal or informal. After practicing martial arts, guests can soak in ice water for a quarter of an hour to greatly improve blood recovery. Qiuyang City did not make ice men before."
"If customers need ice, they can go to Erlang Street, where a new ice shop has opened."
After high-intensity training, soaking in ice water can relieve muscle fatigue. It was a common training method used by athletes in the previous life. This world also has similar methods, which are also recorded in the "Record of the Deep Spring God". It's just that it's only May or June now, and the weather has just started to get hot. Where can I get ice?
I didn't expect that there are people selling ice cubes in Qiuyang City.
"Thank you! I'll go ask." Shi Feizhe thanked the medicine boy politely, then left with a large bag of herbs on his back.
In the short term, he is not short of money, and he needs to convert the money into strength!
Following the directions given by the medicine boy, Shi Feizhe soon arrived at Erlang Street. Erlang Street was not big, and he found the ice shop after asking around.
Shi Feizhe looked up and saw four words: "Oxen and Horse Ice Shop"!
What a name!
The ice shop was not big, just a shabby room with dim light. There were several pottery basins or wooden barrels on the shelves on both sides. There was a man in the middle, lying on a rocking chair. When he saw someone, he asked hurriedly, "What kind of ice do you want, sir? For eating or for use?"
Shi Feizhe saw that he was about fifty years old, thin, and dark-skinned, so he said, "What's the difference between what you eat and what you use?"
"The ice we eat is made from well water, which is clear and sweet, so it's a little more expensive, five cents a piece! The ice we use is river water, which is more turbid, so it's cheaper, three cents a piece!" The man pointed to the pottery basins and wooden barrels around him and said, "The pottery basin is ten cents, and the wooden barrel is eight cents!"
A piece of ice is about the size of a brick. Shi Feizhe thought for a moment and said, "Boss, will you deliver it?"
"How much do you want? A few stones?" the ice shop owner immediately became interested and asked.
One stone is about 106 kilograms. A few stones of ice is a big deal.
"No, about ten or so! But I need it every day!"
"Go away, you're still delivering goods even if it costs you more than ten yuan! I think you are making fun of me!" The ice shop owner changed his face and said angrily: "You should know that I also know a little bit of martial arts!"
"..."
Damn it, how come people in this world have no service spirit at all!
In the past life, when I ordered water, someone would deliver it to my room!
"Then let's get thirteen pieces first, and then a wooden barrel!" Shi Feizhe had no choice but to buy some things first.
"Food and daily necessities?"
"What do you use?" "Poor bastard!"
"You... Boss, I'm buying something from you, could you be a little more polite?" Shi Feizhe was originally preparing to yell at the ice shop owner, but then he saw the owner put his hand into a bucket of water, and the water began to slowly freeze.
He quickly changed his tone.
When you are in the world, you must know how to adapt to the changing circumstances.
"Hehe... You are a cow or a horse who hasn't even cultivated true energy. What's the harm in being rude?" said the ice shop owner with a smile.
"Who is the beast of burden? You might as well explain it clearly!" Shi Feizhe felt insulted.
Why the hell was I called cattle and horses before I traveled through time, and I’m still called cattle and horses after I traveled through time?
"I am Niuma! Because my name is Sun Niuma!" said the ice shop owner with a smile.
"Huh?" Shi Feizhe was stunned.
"I have been wandering around for decades, working like a slave but achieving nothing. From a young man like you to this old man, if I am not a slave, then who is?" said Sun Niuma, the owner of the ice shop, with a smile.
But Shi Feizhe felt that his smile was very bitter.
"Even if I have cultivated true Qi, what's the use? Without top-notch kung fu and power to protect me, I will be here for three days and there for five days in the world. I will waste half my life without achieving anything and instead be covered with hidden injuries. If I am not an ox or a horse, who is?" He repeated it again, full of emotion.
"At your age, you have just started practicing Qi and Blood. I don't know when you can cultivate true Qi."
"You must know that after the age of thirty-five, the Qi and blood decline, the essence is lost, and almost no one can cultivate true Qi."
"After the age of thirty, even if you cultivate true qi, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything like me! Compared with those who have practiced martial arts since childhood, the gap is more than just a little bit!"
"I am a natural born cow and horse!"
"Young man, do you think my appearance as a cow and horse is a reflection of your future?" Sun Niuma said earnestly. When he saw Shi Feizhe, it was as if he saw himself when he was wandering around the world.
In the Jianghu, besides death and success, there is another kind of people, people like him who have accomplished nothing.
There are many people like him.
"...No, we are different!" Shi Feizhe wanted to say something after hearing what Sun Niuma said, but only these words came out of his mouth.
"Oh? What's the difference? When I was young, I was just like you!" Sun Niuma looked at Shi Feizhe and said, "Young people are just full of youthful vigor. Only after being beaten up by the underworld will they know the immensity of the world!"
We are different. I am a martial arts genius who can practice anything!
"In the future, my name will be known in the world. Remember, my name is Shi Feizhe!" Shi Feizhe said to Sun Niuma seriously.
"Haha..." Sun Niuma just laughed. The more he looked at Shi Feizhe, the more he felt that he was like him in the past, who also blindly believed that he was different from others. It was not until he got his head broken and bleeding that he accepted his ordinariness. In the end, he came back here to open an ice shop for a living.
"I suggest you practice some ice-related skills, so you can open an ice shop and earn a pension in the future!"
"No need!" Shi Feizhe replied with a dark face.
"Then learn some fire-related skills, so you can open a glass shop in the future!"
"No need!"
"The young man didn't listen to my advice. I will pay you forty-seven cents!" Sun Niuma said again, carrying a bucket of ice.
Cows and horses! Cows and horses!
