"These boots are a bit strong!"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up as he controlled the 'Liuhe Boots' while walking among the crowd.

This is an immediate improvement compared to the training hammer and bone-cutting knife. Every step you take, it feels like someone is pushing you from behind. Not to mention it saves effort and the speed is faster.

The only fly in the ointment is that one shoe has some impact...

"Tsk, tsk, you are walking like flying. Is the blessing of entering the level so intuitive? This is still one boot, if there are two boots, wouldn't the speed be faster?"

As soon as he lifted his feet, he ran out three to four meters, feeling a strong "pushing feeling" on his back. Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and the muddy and smooth snow had no effect on him at all.

"The first-level weapon weapon can only control one weapon at the same time. It takes two days to cool down when changing it... You have to upgrade it and make money!"

Li Yuan was happy, but also a little troubled.

Money is hard to make, as it has always been.

In the past month, in addition to joining the kitchen, which greatly improved his food and drink, he also tried other methods.

But the skills he learned in his previous life, whether it was doing things for people or midwifery and inducing births, were of no use.

There is no capital for buying low and selling high, and even if there is capital, there is a threshold that cannot be bypassed.

Gang!

All industries in Gaoliu County have long been divided up by various families. There are firewood gangs for fishing and firewood cutting, and the fishing gangs control and draw commissions, not to mention other industries.

"Liang Ah Shui is here!"

Suddenly, someone in the market shouted.

Li Yuan looked up and saw a huge crowd gathering towards the young man carrying several fish baskets to the west.

He has a strong body and slightly dark complexion, but he is exactly the one he has seen before, Liang Ashui, who has been very famous in Chaiyu Fang in recent months.

"You won't catch the spirit fish again, right?"

Li Yuan murmured in his heart.

He was also a frequent buyer, so he had naturally heard of Liang Ashui's deeds.

It is said that his parents died young, but he developed a good fishing skill and caught three spiritual fish in succession. Not only did he renovate the house, but he also joined the "Lihe Martial Arts School", one of the three major martial arts schools in the inner city.

The fishing gangs who wanted to take advantage of him were helpless.

"Red-browed fish? Qin is very lucky. How much money does this fish cost? I'll take it!"

Amid the commotion, Li Yuan heard a familiar voice, very loud and clear. Who was it if it wasn't Qin Xiong?

Among the pedestrians who are over 1.7 meters tall on the street, Qin Xiong, who is 1.98 meters tall, stands out from the crowd?

Wherever he passed, all the passersby dispersed, allowing him to walk in front of Liang Ashui.

"Spirit fish."

Glancing at the crowded crowd, Li Yuan felt a little itchy.

The price of the spirit fish daunted him, but it also made him excited. The money came so quickly. One fish was the monthly salary of more than a dozen apprentices for three years!

"It's a pity that I haven't seen any weapons related to fishing..."

Li Yuan looked at it from a distance for a while, then turned and left.

…

After collecting his money, Li Yuan went back to the blacksmith's shop and picked up two preserved fishes. He then went out on leave and walked through the alleys and streets to the yard of his second brother Li Lin's house.

The sun was nice at noon, the snow in the city was gradually disappearing, and people were shoveling snow in front of their doors in the streets and alleys.

Li Lin was pushing snow out of the alley. When he looked up and saw Li Yuan, he smiled immediately:

"Go inside and have a rest. I'll push this snow out and make you something to eat!"

"No need, second brother, I just ate."

Li Yuan gave two bacons to his second brother and grabbed the shovel to clear the snow.

"Good boy, your strength has increased!"

Li Lin was startled, took the fish with a smile, and said:

"Then you clear the snow, and I'll make these two cured fish for you. Just in time, your sister-in-law bought two kilograms of fat meat yesterday..."

"I really ate it, will the kitchen helper still be hungry?"

Li Yuan had no choice but to stop Li Lin. He could only clean up the snow quickly with his hands and feet. When he entered the yard, he could already smell the aroma of fish meat.

"Go inside and wait for a while, it's cold outside."

Li Lin was busy without raising his head:

"It snowed early this year. The winter coat has just been made and is next to the bed. You can try it to see if it fits you."

"Second brother!"

Li Yuan caught a glimpse of the winter clothes in the house, and felt nervous.

"Second brother, where did you get all this money?"

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, firewood first, food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing first. A winter coat is not cheap. Even the worst fabrics and cotton-padded clothes cost more than a tael of silver, which is enough for ordinary people to eat grain for half a year.

"The price of charcoal before winter is good. I have collected more firewood in the past few months. Plus your sister-in-law's wages, what's the point of making a cotton coat?"

After stewing the cured fish, Li Lin also returned to the house, closed the door, picked up the cotton coat and put it on Li Yuan, smiling:

"You are really growing up every month. Fortunately, your sister-in-law is a size bigger, otherwise her clothes would still be tight!"

"I don't want this cotton-padded coat. The blacksmith's shop will issue a winter coat when winter comes. Please change this one and give it to your sister-in-law. It's also very hard for her to starch and wash clothes."

Li Yuan shook his head and took off his clothes.

"What kind of clothes can an apprentice have? Wear them if they are given to you!"

Li Lin glared, but saw his third brother frowning and saying nothing. Knowing his stubborn temper, he could only soften his tone:

"Our family has been in ruins for many years, but your sister-in-law is still willing to marry me. If I treat her badly, wouldn't it be like a thunder strike from the sky? Here it is, just keep it."

Seeing Li Lin's firm attitude, Li Yuan had no choice but to accept it, but he also held down his second brother's hand:

"Second brother, tell me the truth, did you borrow someone's money?"

"Who told you? That fat man..."

Li Lin frowned, but soon relaxed. He glanced at the doors and windows and lowered his voice:

"I borrowed some money from Qianbao on Qianjie Street. I came home nine times and returned home thirteen times. The market is normal. I'm talking about giving it to him before winter next year... Although our family is dilapidated, we still have some foundation left. You..."

Li Lin coughed as he spoke. There were footsteps outside the door, but it was his second sister-in-law who came back.

"Second brother, you..."

Li Yuan wanted to ask clearly, but when he saw the Qingli woman pushing the door open, he had to press the button temporarily.

"Sister-in-law."

Li Yuan said hello.

"Um."

The woman went to the kitchen to get warm water and soaked her chilblained hands, and responded without looking back:

"Since you're here, just take that cotton-padded coat and save your second brother from running away again! I don't know what bad luck happened..."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Li Yuan thanked him hurriedly and automatically ignored the next words.

He respects his second sister-in-law very much.

After the Li family fell into ruin, she did not deny the engagement, but married his second brother with a dowry. She had paid for the previous foreign debts with her own dowry.

"The fish is ready, I'll serve it!"

Li Lin lowered his head and did not dare to speak, and ran to the kitchen in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, I've had lunch and will leave first."

Li Yuan also wants to run.

Two fish and two pounds of meat seemed like a lot, but if he stayed, the couple would not be able to eat more than a few bites, which was not what he wanted.

"Eat before leaving, huh?"

"Brat!"

The shouts of his brother and sister-in-law were heard from behind. Li Yuan hugged his cotton-padded clothes and walked out of the alley without looking back.

With the help of his swift and fast steps, Li Lin chased him out but didn't even see a shadow, so he had to stomp back to the house.

…

"Qian Bao? Lives in Qian Street. He seems to be a small leader of the fishing gang? He comes out nine times and returns thirteen times. This is actually fair in my memory?"

Outside the alley, Li Yuan slowed down, recalled, and felt a little relieved.
