Chapter 4: Racketeering

"Mom, where is the jade pendant we bought on the street last time? Are you still there?" Shi Yi squatted on the ground, rummaging through the cabinets. When he heard the sound, his mother leaned out of the room. Shi Yi, who noticed his mother, turned around and asked with a smile.

"The jade pendant bought on the street?" Hearing Shi Yi's inquiry, the mother was stunned for a moment, then nodded, picked up the coat she was wrapped around her shoulders, and walked out of the room: "It's still here, you kid, what time are you looking for this jade pendant?"

As he spoke, his mother had already arrived beside Shi Yi and patted Shi Yi on the shoulder to signal him to let him go.

"No, I just suddenly remembered this jade pendant." Shi Yi smiled embarrassedly, stood up from the ground, gave up his seat to his mother, and at the same time touched the back of his head and joked: "I don't know if this is a blessing in my heart. I can't tell you that this jade pendant can help your son, I successfully get into college!"

"Here, that's this one." As he spoke, my mother had already found the jade pendant from the cabinet, and stood up from the ground with her knees on her hands. After hearing Shi Yi's joke, she smiled indifferently, handed the jade pendant to Shi Yi's hand, and then touched his head: "Okay, go to bed early, you still have injuries on your body now!"

"Well, mom, so are you." After taking the jade pendant handed over by his mother, Shi Yi subconsciously pinched it before smiling embarrassedly, turning back to the room.

"Is that the only one?" Under the hazy moonlight, Shi Yi raised the jade pendant in his hand and looked carefully through the moonlight. It was a blue-white jade pendant. There were some burrs around the jade pendant. It was obviously a shoddy inferior jade pendant. Through the moonlight, Shi Yi could even see the crisscrossing cracks in the jade pendant.

"I hope I guessed right!" Looking at the small pile of white powder beside him, Shi Yi locked his eyes on the inferior jade pendant on the palm of his hand, took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes...

According to the introduction in the Dharma Priest, Shi Yi's true energy level in his body is even very difficult at the most basic body refining stage. It can only be said that he is barely the early stage of immortal cultivation and body refining. Shi Yi does not have a deep feeling about this, but when he thinks that he has to go through the foundation building stage, fasting stage, fusion stage, and agility stage in the body refining stage, he feels upset. Now the early stage of body refining is still barely achieved by the activation of immortal roots, and the later realm...

Shaking his head and clearing out all the messy thoughts in his mind. Shi Yi calmed down, slowly calmed down his mind, and immersed himself in the state of cultivation.

The true qi in the dantian was mobilized again. Under the guidance of Shi Yi's weak spiritual consciousness, it slowly flowed out of the dantian, and then drilled into the specific meridians of practice, and slowly ran according to the small circulation route of the Phra Sect Body Refining Period.

A trace of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, like a gossip, was absorbed by Shi Yi, and entered from the seven orifices, then merged into the flesh and blood, drilled into the tendons and veins, and was fused by the true qi running in the tendons and veins...

"It's coming again..." Just as Shi Yi struggled to absorb the almost empty spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a cool feeling suddenly came from the palm of his hand. It was only a moment, but it also made Shi Yi very excited!

"It's true!" He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the white powder in his palm, Shi Yi murmured: "It's true!"

"Ayi, Ayi!" In a daze, my father's shout came from outside the door. Shi Yi was slightly stunned and found that it was already bright!

"Dad, the door is not locked." Shi Yi smiled bitterly and touched his nose. If he was right, it was already twelve o'clock now, because my father's get off work time was 11:30 noon and he arrived home in half an hour...

"Cry..." My father pushed the door and looked at Shi Yi who was still sitting on the bed, feeling quite unhappy: "Look at what time it is now! I haven't gotten up yet!"

"I am a wounded... The doctor said he wanted to have a good rest..." Shi Yi muttered in his lowest voice, then got off the bed, and looked up while wearing shoes, "Hey, where is Dad, where is Mom?"

"Your mother was worried about your affairs all night last night." The father rolled his eyes at Shi Yi, "Working overtime today."

"Oh." Shi Yi touched his nose and nodded with a sarcastic smile.

"Go and wash up. I've prepared the meal. I'm hot in the pot. After eating, let's rest at home in the afternoon." Looking at Shi Yi, who was already wearing his shoes, my father gave a few instructions and was about to turn around and leave.

"Dad, where are you going?" Shi Yi asked.

"There is someone in the team who asked for a break today, so I'll go over and take it." The father turned around and looked at Shi Yi, "Don't run around alone at home, do you know?"

"Work overtime, take the shift." Looking at his father's back as he left, Shi Yi touched his chin thoughtfully. In his memory, two days after he was injured, his parents took leave at home. Why are they today...

"Is it the butterfly effect?" Shi Yi smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's so fast."

After a simple washing in the small bathroom, Shi Yi walked to the kitchen and piled up a pile of chopped firewood on the edge of the stove. The faint crackling sound indicates that there is still some fire in the stove, which is an effective way to prevent the things in the pot from getting cold.

"Branded pork?" Shi Yi was stunned for a moment when he lifted the lid of the pot. What caught his eye was a bowl of braised pork with a strong fragrance, and a bowl of already served white rice, boiling water underneath, and steaming.

"The situation at home should be changed." After a few bites, the food in the bowl was stripped away. Looking at the wall that had been painted, Shi Yi took a breath.

The Shi family is located in a suburb far from the center of Wenzhou. The house of more than 60 square meters is the only thing worth a lot of money in the Shi family. In addition, the old color TV placed in the living room at home is probably worth a little money.

Shi Yi's grandparents live in the countryside. Shi Yi remembers that his father would go back at least three times a month. Every time he went there, he would carry dozens to one hundred dollars with him and give them to his grandparents as living expenses.

In Shi Yi's impression, grandpa was a talkative old man. He was nearly seventy years old and always liked to tell Shi Yi about his hard days. When he talked about the wonderful things, he would be as happy as a child. Then he would take out a wine pot from the pocket of the Zhongshan pack that seemed to remain unchanged all year round and gently sip it.

And grandma...

Recalling the little things in his mind, Shi Yi took a deep breath and focused his attention on himself. According to his practice and experiment last night, Shi Yi could almost conclude that those jades must contain the spiritual energy he urgently needed. In other words, as long as there are enough jade, then the Golden Elixir stage will no longer be a fantasy!

"But... where did you get the money to buy it?" When Shi Yi thought of the price of jade, he couldn't stand a sensation. According to his current economic situation at home, it was simply a delusion to want to use jade to practice!

This house in my family can be worth hundreds of thousands in more than ten years, but now...

Shi Yi touched his nose and smiled bitterly. The stock market is a good choice, but the problem is!

In his previous life, he was just a factory worker at the bottom of society and had no idea about the stock market. Even the most basic knowledge of the stock market was to understand the six orifices. The stock market? It's just a beautiful fantasy!

"How should I make this money?" Sitting alone on the stool, Shi Yi frowned and thought deeply.

"By the way!" About half an hour later, Shi Yi suddenly became excited, slapped his head suddenly, and grinned: "Why did you forget this??"

If Shi Yi remembers correctly, before 2000, Wenzhou's cosmetics market was basically in a turbulent situation. The mixed cosmetics market made the pockets of many operators quickly bulge, and many people lost all their money.

It was not until 2000 that the emergence of Keli Cosmetics Store gradually occupied the high-end consumer group in the cosmetics market and ended the turbulent times.

Shi Yi clearly remembered that the profits of cosmetics were definitely the most profitable of all the regular products he knew. A lipstick, a purchase price of two yuan, could be sold for more than ten yuan after a little packaged, and a profit of 600% to 700 yuan. Many operators tasted the sweetness.

Now in 1994, the Wenzhou cosmetics market is in its infancy. If we can quickly seize this big cake at this time...

As he thought about it, Shi Yi's eyes glowed a little. He knew a little about the operation of cosmetics, because his wife in his previous life ran a cosmetics store. Although she was very small, her monthly income was enough to offset Shi Yi's efforts for several months!

"What should I do with this startup capital?" Shi Yi touched his chin and browsed all the memories of his previous life about the past few years in his mind. Suddenly, a message that was usually inconspicuous to him and even had no mood to remember came into his eyes!

"On August 9, 1997, Deputy Mayor of Wenzhou City Huang Liangjian was detained by judicial authorities in accordance with the law for the huge amount of corruption and bribery. It is reported that since March 1994, Huang Liangjian took office as Deputy Mayor of Wenzhou City and was in charge of economic construction, he has used his position to accept bribes on a large scale. In October 1994, Huang Liangjian collected RMB 3 million in benefits for our city's XX Company..."

After carefully savoring this information that I accidentally noticed in my previous life, Shi Yi's still tender face showed a playful smile...

"Extortion seems to be a good way." Shi Yi narrowed his eyes when he stood up from the stool.
