Chapter 31 Establishing one’s art first establishes one’s morality
Walking out of the police station in the jurisdiction, Xu Zhengdao looked at the newly issued household registration book and officially became a member of Kangmin Village. His face seemed to be very happy. But in the eyes of Sun Dazhuang and others, they felt that this child was somewhat stupid.
But now that the matter has come to this, it is useless even if Xu Zhengdao regrets it. If he wants to change his registered residence in the city in the future, he will have to do so unless an employer is willing to accept him. Otherwise, from now on, he can only stay in Kangmin Village and be a
A true farmer.
Sun Dazhuang, who brought him here, saw Xu Zhengdao's happy face and couldn't help but said: "Azheng, I really don't know what you think. Now that your registered permanent residence has been transferred here, it's too late for you to regret it."
"Uncle Sun, based on what you said, do you think I regret it now?"
"You may not regret it now, but you won't know for sure in the future."
"Let's talk about the future in the future. Living well in the present is the most important thing. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Xu Zhengdao, who replied to Sun Dazhuang, didn't worry too much about not regretting it. But he knew in his heart that many people think he is a fool now. But in a few years, others will know how wise his decision was.<
/p>
After separating from Sun Dazhuang at the intersection, Xu Zhengdao also planned to go shopping in the city. Even though he was from the countryside now, he still had a rural household registration in Kyoto. Who could tell at a glance that he was a rural person among the crowd?<
/p>
After walking around Beiwan Hutong a few times, Xu Zhengdao quickly found several trading locations that Liu Daneng had mentioned yesterday. In the future, he would send wild boars to Liu Daneng and would keep changing trading locations, and the two of them would not meet on site.<
/p>
He put the wild boar in the place chosen by Liu Daneng in advance, and then notified Liu Daneng to pull the pig. After Liu Daneng took the wild boar away and sold it, he would find time to settle the bill with Xu Zhengdao. As for not paying for the pig, Xu Zhengdao believed it.
He didn't dare.
I continued walking forward on my bicycle and came to another alley not far from Beiwan Alley. I looked for the house number of Xu Zhengdao and soon came to a large courtyard. I came here to find an old man who was familiar with the carpenter's craft.
Master.
Seeing the stranger who suddenly came to the door, Qian Chuanlin was at home and asked curiously: "Young man, who are you looking for?"
"Master, I'm sorry to bother you. I want to ask you, does Master Qian live in this hospital?"
"Master Qian? My surname is Qian in this courtyard, and I am not a master. What are you looking for Master Qian for?"
The old man smiled and joked for a while, but continued to ask Xu Zhengdao's reason for coming. When he learned that Xu Zhengdao was introduced by Liu Daneng, he continued: "Are you Daneng's friend? You came to me because you want to break furniture.
?"
As a carpenter, Qian Chuanlin often goes to Pigeon Market to buy things. During these visits, he often interacts with Liu Daneng. In his opinion, Xu Zhengdao came to him because he probably wanted to build some new furniture.
Apart from this, he doesn't understand anything else, so why should others look for him when they have nothing to do?
Facing the old man's inquiry, Xu Zhengdao shook his head and said: "Master Qian, I am not asking you to buy new furniture, but I want to ask you to help me buy some old furniture. It is best to use old furniture made of good wood. I I prefer old furniture.
Also, Brother Liu said that you have many disciples and have been in this business for many years. If you want to buy old wood products, you are the right choice. In addition to old furniture, I also want to buy a Chinese medicine cabinet, preferably a Chinese medicine cabinet. Old things."
Before coming, Xu Zhengdao also heard Liu Daneng say that the old man in front of him was nearly sixty years old. He had been a carpenter all his life and had many apprentices. The apprentices he had in the early years also had apprentices now.
All in all, if you want to find a knowledgeable and reliable wood craftsman, Liu Daneng thinks Qian Chuanlin can do it. Although the old man rarely does the work himself now, he must still be able to collect old wooden furniture. .
"I really can't see that you, a young man, still like to play with these kinds of old things. There are really not many people who are willing to sell these kinds of old things nowadays. If you want to buy a few pieces, I can help you ask. How many are there? I’m afraid it will be hard to find.”
"Master Qian, it's okay! If you can buy old furniture, buy it. It doesn't matter if you can't buy it. I bought a yard in the suburbs of the city. There is a little furniture in the house. I just wanted to buy some furniture to decorate it, but I think old furniture is more beautiful. It has charm.
I came to you today mainly because I want to trouble you. I want to find out for me whether there is a shop selling old-fashioned Chinese medicine cabinets. I just moved to the city not long ago, and I have been learning Chinese medicine from my master. Now I don’t have a medicine cabinet at home, and I always feel uncomfortable. It’s so convenient.”
Taking advantage of the opportunity of asking for help, Xu Zhengdao also implicitly said that as long as Qian Chuanlin helps him buy expensive old furniture, he will also give him a hard-earned fee. For Qian Chuanlin, helping others buy furniture can also make money. , he will naturally not refuse.
After leaving the address of Kangmin Village to the old man, Xu Zhengdao readily gave a deposit of 500 yuan in advance, without even asking the old man to issue an IOU. This approach somewhat surprised the old man.
With a slightly surprised expression, he said: "Xiao Xu, aren't you afraid that I will take away your money?"
"Look at what you said! You have been a craftsman all your life, and I understand the principle of establishing one's skills first. And I believe Brother Liu, the character of the people he introduced to me must be all right. ."
Giving the old man a deposit of 500 yuan in advance also hopes that the old man will be more attentive and buy more expensive old furniture for himself. If you buy these old furniture and put them in your own yard, they will not look too eye-catching.
If there is really no space in the yard, he will think of a way to buy a courtyard house in the city, and put all the old furniture that the old man bought for him into the courtyard to save up. He believes that buying these old furniture now is equivalent to making money. To.
Rather than buying antiques for collection, Xu Zhengdao thought it would be a good idea to buy some expensive old furniture to test the waters first. The premise was that he would find ways to make money in the future and also find ways to cash in on the old furniture he bought in the future. .
Now that the household registration has been settled, Xu Zhengdao will start to think of ways to make more money. Even if he lives in seclusion in the secular world, money is still important to a practitioner. And during this time, he has begun to learn the Taoist magic of talismans.

In addition to purchasing talisman paper and sand, the system also recommended that he purchase some jade materials and learn to carve jade talismans. Unlike talisman paper, which is a one-time consumable, jade talismans can be used more often and can also be used to set up formations.<
/p>
All in all, Xu Zhengdao, who moved into the city, found that in addition to meditating and practicing Qi every day, he also needed to practice more things. To practice these Taoist techniques or formations that assist in practice, he also needs a steady stream of money.
.
Leaving Linyuan Hutong where Master Qian lives, Xu Zhengdao started riding around the city, thinking about how he should find ways to make more money next. Not surprisingly, when his cultivation level improves in the future, he will spend more money on cultivation.
.
It is said that "the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts", now Xu Zhengdao discovered that even as a mysterious cultivator, if he has no money, he will not be able to practice. Fortunately, he has a sign-in system to help him practice. It would be even more difficult for others.
.
As Xu Zhengdao rode his bicycle to a busy street, several young people among the crowd soon appeared in his sight. Judging from their clothes, they were not much different from other citizens or young people shopping on the street.
p>
What really surprised Xu Zhengdao was that the eyes of these young people were not staring at the things at the counter, nor at the pretty girls on the street, but instead at the pockets or handbags of the people shopping.
"Interesting, is this the Buddha who lives on the streets?"
Xu Zhengdao, who had read a lot of online novels in his previous life, has interacted more with Liu Daneng in this life, and he also knows that there is a group of people on the street who have nothing to do every day but have no worries about food and clothing. Where do their money come from?<
/p>
The so-called 'Buddha' mostly refers to pickpockets or thieves. These people often hang out in crowded and lively places, and often steal other people's money when people are not paying attention. In this business, if you are not careful, you will be liable.
Go to jail and eat.
But in Xu Zhengdao's view, this group of people suddenly appeared in front of him today, and he happened to be still worrying about making money. These 'Buddhas' can easily lead ordinary people's sheep, so can he also be given to the Buddhas?
