"Oh, Mom and Dad, you don't care about me, you see, it's such a good weather outside, how good it is for the two of you to walk outside, the park in the city, the reservoir on the outskirts of the city, there must be a lot of people today, you go out to breathe, I run outside every day, I've had enough fun, I'll watch the shop at home today, take a break by the way, train this and that in the school every day, but I'm tired of your son" After lunch, Zhang Tie diligently cleaned up the house, and then pushed his parents out of the door, his father worked six days a week, every day in the workshop of the factory, breathing with ashes, his mother was even more miserable, guarding the rice brewing shop at home every day, in such a small space, turning around was in the way, so every weekend, Zhang Tie, who didn't want his parents to feel that his life was too gloomy, would always find a way to "drive his parents out of the house" to breathe.
As for himself, he is helping to look after the shop at home today.
Seeing that his son was well-behaved and sensible, his parents were naturally happy, but when he left, his mother still told Zhang Tie uneasily, "Remember not to increase the price of rice brewing first, and when you meet old customers, first tell others about the price increase of rice and ingredients, and tell them that if the price of our purchase cannot be lowered next week, the rice brew in our store will be adjusted upward, they are all old customers, don't let people think that our family is greedy and offends people."
"I know, Mom, you've said it more than 30 times, am I going to be so ignorant" Zhang Tie shouted aggrievedly, all fifteen years old, a little thing, every time my mother always nagged endlessly like telling children and imbeciles, it hurt my self-esteem.
"Where are there more than thirty times, at most five times" The old mother glared at Zhang Tie angrily, and wanted to pull Zhang Tie's ears, Zhang Tie hurriedly slipped away from it, and then made a grimace at the old mother, ran to the rice brewing shop, and shouted loudly, "Zhang's freshly baked rice brew is fragrant, sweet and delicious, the man eats strong, the woman eats beautiful, don't miss it when you pass by, six coppers are a bowl, the amount is large, and the amount is good."
"This kid," Dad smiled and shook his head.
Watching his father and mother hold hands and disappear on the side of the street, Zhang Tie rubbed his chin with one hand that had just had a little fluff, and it took a long time to withdraw his weird gaze from the two, I don't know why, my father and mother have been married for decades, but every time the two go out together, they naturally hold hands, which always makes Zhang Tie feel that it is not a couple who have been married for many years, but like a pair of young people who are in love, it always gives people an indescribable weird feeling.
Is this love Zhang Tie doesn't know, to be honest, his life experience is not enough for him to have enough feelings and understanding of this.
But looking at his father and mother, he had a strange sense of happiness in his heart.
As soon as his parents left, Zhang Tie sat bored in the rice brewing shop, holding a handful of dust, and catching flies from time to time.
The sweetness of this stuff attracts flies, especially when it's hot, and in a few months, if it's summer, you'll have to hang a bamboo curtain on the outside of the storefront to get rid of the nasty guys who are always buzzing in your ears.
But as soon as the bamboo curtain is hung up to cover the carefully prepared displays on the counter of the shop, the business of the small shop will decline a little, every year, without exception.
It was afternoon, the sun was shining on the street, and the birds that had been silent in the plane trees for a winter seemed to come out of their nests one by one, jumping up and calling happily, and the mottled plane leaves cast a patch of dappled light and shade on the street full of market atmosphere.
Outside the Zhang's rice brewing shop, a sign written by my father last night has been hung up: "Because of the recent rise in grain prices and raw material prices, the store is expected to raise the price next week, please be considerate of new and old customers."
Lovely dad, if you change to Tang De, you will definitely follow the price increase on the first day of the rice price rise, so that it won't drag on for so long. sat in the store for half an hour, did a few small businesses, sold seven or eight bowls of rice brew, put the scattered copper plates into the drawer, and then soaked the rice bowls and spoons that others had eaten into the dishwashing bucket, looking at the higher and higher sun, the hand that shook the dust became more and more weak, Zhang Tie couldn't help but get bored, it was the age of jumping out, the big weekend, sitting here alone to catch flies, who could stand it but the more he felt bored, the more Zhang Tie admired his mother, and he was bored when he sat for a while, Mom has been sitting here for 20 years.
People will always find something to do for themselves when they are bored, and the thing Zhang Tie found for himself in boredom is to cultivate the Zhu Xin Shen Calculation, which has many realms, the lowest one, just like Zhang Tie practiced last night, closed his eyes, and used his long time to visualize the abacus in his mind and plan to make it in his mind.
The second realm is that you don't need to close your eyes, almost in the blink of an eye, you can visualize the abacus in your mind, and then plan the abacus in your mind, after all, this is a mental arithmetic skill that embodies practicality, if you use it for several hours every time you visualize an abacus, and you can't open your eyes, then use a fart.
In the third realm, the abacus visualized in the mind already seems to be nothing, and when you see any calculation problem, the answer will naturally emerge in your heart, which is the mystery of the mental calculation.
Then, on this basis, the visualized abacus goes from three gears to twelve gears, or even more, and finally you can even multitask, visualize several abacus, or divide a multi-level abacus into different areas, and do many different addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations on it at the same time, and get the answer in the blink of an eye.
This is the highest level of mental arithmetic, and once practiced, that person can be called a humanoid supercomputer.
Zhang Tie actually doubted that the Zhu Xin Shen Arithmetic written in that book could be reached by anyone to achieve the highest level of multi-purpose humanoid computers, but when he thought of the vague words "Recommended extracurricular reading books for primary school students" on that book, Zhang Tie was deflated, and there was a feeling that people were more popular than people, where was the primary school so good, Zhang Tie finally even doubted that what the old man who sold books said might be true This Zhu Xin Shen Arithmetic may really be from the ruins before the cataclysm, The era before the cataclysm was bizarre, the things that came out of the ruins were strange, and the expensive crystals used for cultivation in this era were just inconspicuous decorations in that era, and many people still couldn't look at it, maybe this strange book was really an extracurricular reading material for elementary school students in the era before the cataclysm No matter what, after practicing, it seems that this Zhu Xinshen seems to be able to recover his spiritual power by the way when he is cultivating, Zhang Tie still wants to confirm it again to see if there is really this effect, but as soon as he thinks of the word "by the way", Zhang Tie can't help but be messy for a while, and the abacus that he visualized in his mind collapsed instantly Such a difficult spiritual power to cultivate, there is also a way It's a bit hard to accept.
Just when Zhang Tie's eyes were half open and half closed, again and again, sitting in the small shop and compressing the time to visualize the three-gear abacus from more than ten minutes to five or six minutes, two people who surprised Zhang Tie appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
Dead fat Barry and Doug, two guys riding a bicycle, the stupid black and thick Doug was riding a bicycle and selling coolies, sweating profusely and smirking happily, Barry, a cunning dead fat man, was sitting on the back of the bicycle, and when Zhang Tie saw the two of them, the dead fat man Barry, who had been patrolling on both sides of the street, also saw Zhang Tie.
"This is it, brakes," the dead fat man Barry shouted, and he jumped off the back seat of the bicycle lightly, landing on both feet, Doug, who had just ridden with a happy face, suddenly screamed in horror after Barry got out of the bike, "Ah, brakes, where are the brakes, how to stop, ah help" bang "Bastard, this is the new car my damned dad just bought me," Barry cried out in distress.
Zhang Tie helplessly covered his head with his hands and closed his eyes in pain Two minutes later, Doug and Barry, who were grinning and rubbing their buttocks, stood in front of Zhang Tie's shop, looking at Doug smelling the aroma of rice brewing and swallowing saliva vigorously and the begging smile on Barry's face, Zhang Tie scolded secretly, took out two pairs of bowls and spoons from under the counter, and then opened the clay pot, scooped a bowl for each of the two guys with a big spoon of rice brewing, and pushed it viciously in front of the two.
The two guys immediately smiled, without a word of politeness, picked up the bowl, Xili snored three times and licked the bowl clean, seeing Doug sticking out his tongue and turning in a circle in the bowl, Zhang Tie really wanted to put the spoon in his hand on his head, you can be a little more disgusting, no, the bowl that this guy has eaten must be disinfected with boiling water.
Seeing the flattering smiles on the faces of the two guys after eating, Zhang Tie quickly put away the bowls and spoons of the two of them, and his old face was flat, "I invited you just now, and now there are six coppers for a bowl, do you still want it?"
Doug immediately turned his attention to Barry for help, and the dead fat man Barry patted his waist, and a copper plate was buckled onto the table, "It's delicious, one more bowl" Zhang Tie was not hypocritical, swept the money into the drawer, and gave each of these two guys a bowl, and another bowl of belly, in Doug's reluctant gaze, Zhang Tie took the two guys' bowls and spoons into the basin.
When Doug turned his gaze to Barry again, Barry automatically ignored his gaze and turned to talk to Zhang Tie.
"Ahem, what's this called, rice stuffed" "Something to do with rice stuffing" "Hey, home visits are a good tradition of our Plane Brotherhood," Barry laughed.
"Okay, hurry up and get down to business, I'm hundreds of thousands of dollars a second now" "Have you heard of the Red Turban Thief?"
Hearing Barry talk about the red scarf thief, Zhang Tie was really a little surprised, "I've heard of it, what's wrong?"
Barry looked left and right, lowered his voice, and quietly repeated the news that Zhang Tie had heard from his brother's mouth, "I only found out last night, and I will inform you today, it is estimated that there are not many people who know this news now, in short, be careful during this time recently, don't go out to wander around at night, don't go out of the city casually if you have nothing to do, the red scarf thieves are all butchers who kill people without blinking."
Isn't there a proverb among you Chinese that every time the gate catches fire, there will be a few unlucky fish in the moat, and I don't want anyone in our plane brotherhood to be that unlucky fish."
"That's what I'm here for today" "Of course, otherwise do you think it's fun for me and Doug to come out under such a big sun, after informing you, I will go and inform the two guys Shawen and Sista, okay, it won't affect your business of hundreds of thousands of dollars a second" Looking at the face of the dead fat man, Zhang Tie was slightly moved in his heart, "Thank you, brother" "Then invite us to another bowl," Barry salivated Zhang Tie stretched out his hand, twisted his fingers, and made a gesture that everyone understood.
"Haha gone, there's the next one" Barry patted the back seat of the bicycle and urged Doug to get on the bike quickly, Doug pushed the bike and walked a few steps, turned his head to look at Zhang Tie, and stopped talking, "Barry said that learning to ride a bike is a good pickle" "Don't worry, I won't say it, your riding skills are awesome" Zhang Tie gave a thumbs up.
Satisfied, Doug nodded, got on the bike again, and took the Barry guy away Zhang Tie didn't expect the news about the Red Turban Thief to spread so quickly, and in just two days, it made the people of Heiyan City panic Why do you want these useless things, let's honestly practice my beads, what kind of red scarf thief, does it have a copper plate relationship with a little person like himself Zhang Tie smiled self-deprecatingly.
In the evening, my parents came back and brought a message that the city ban in Heiyan City had begun to become stricter, and it was already necessary to check the identity certificate when entering and leaving Heiyan City in the evening.
After dinner, Gregory, the magistrate of the district carrying a lantern, knocked on the door of Zhang's house, and sent a notice from house to house, saying that strangers were not allowed to stay overnight, and that any suspicious person should be reported immediately, and that from 12 o'clock tonight, a curfew would be imposed in Heiyan City Less than half a day after the dead fat man Barry left, the news of the Red Turban Thief finally spread completely in Black Flame City, and an uneasy atmosphere began to stir.
But these have nothing to do with Zhang Tie, after dinner, as soon as the sheriff left, Zhang Tie returned to his hut after washing, and entered the Black Iron Castle, after throwing a bag of garbage left by household cleaning and kitchen cooking into the Chaos Pool, Zhang Tie clapped his hands, and then opened the basic attribute panel of the Black Iron Castle, and looked at the latest attributes of the Black Iron Castle with satisfaction The Black Iron Castle Length: 1 Kulushe Width: 1 Kuluxhe Aura: 18 Merit: 43 Basic Energy Reserve: 05 Special Outputs: None Let my parents go out to play, I kept the shop for a day, and got 5 merit points, plus cleaning the house and cooking, a total of 8 merit points were mixed today, the potatoes continued to sprout, the aura value increased by 11, and a bag of garbage was exchanged for 03's basic energy reserves, which is my harvest today Look at the Manjush Sawa Karma Ten Thousand Fruit Treasure Tree.
There are still 103 hours left before the first leak-free fruit ripens Completely sleepy, Zhang Tie took out the crystal that had been basking in the sun for a day, sat down cross-legged in the Black Iron Castle, and cultivated the Divine Palace, through the experience in the Black Iron Castle these days, he found that looking at the trajectory of the colorful mist like the color palette in those Black Iron Castles can inexplicably calm people's minds, and it is very easy to enter the cultivation state It was the first time for Zhang Tie to cultivate the bright point in the Black Iron Castle, and he quickly entered the state, and with his breathing, under the dual action of crystal and spiritual power, the cyan brilliance on Zhang Tie's Divine Palace quickly lit up Only by constantly improving one's strength is the greatest dependence for survival in this era, and to improve one's strength, in addition to down-to-earth efforts and hard work, there is no shortcut to go, which is the belief that Zhang Tie has followed in the past 15 years.
Even if you get the Black Iron Castle:
