Chapter 70: Idleness is at a loss

"I said I wanted to play, but I didn't know what to play!?" The next morning, after the two of them finished their morning exercises, they realized this problem.

For the Chinese New Year, there is no car to go to the city, unless the two are willing to walk 20 kilometers to the city. However, considering that it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is estimated that no one will be on the street, and the shops are almost closed.

So the scope of activities was limited to the Five Tigers Village. Similarly, most of the shops and departments are also closed, including the library that Chen Ming often visits!

"Are we the worst among our peers?" Yang Xiong pointed to himself, "Ten ...... At the age of three, I don't know how to play...... Ah Ming, what did you play in the village before?"

"I, I usually read almost all of them......," Chen Ming recalled.

"That's the same......" Yang Xiong sighed, having been in contact with him for so long, he should know that this guy is a practice maniac and a bookworm.

"What about you?" Chen Ming naturally looked at Yang Xiong in turn.

"Watch my three older brothers practice, or wander around the city...... Yang Xiong lowered his head, "You know, my family's economic situation doesn't allow me to buy toys at all, and I can't even buy popular comics." ”

"Question: Now we have money, right?" Chen Ming tilted his head.

"Yes, yes, you can receive 500 yuan a month from the Tiger Pavilion as a monthly example, which is equivalent to the minimum wage in the city. Then there is the sparring task, because it is a compulsory task, so only the medical subsidy can be used as income, but fortunately, I took another one, and it was about 3,000 a month. Then there is the laboratory, there are also 3,000, and it is about 6,000 a month. Yang Xiong calculated his income, but he didn't seem happy.

After a pause, he continued to calculate: "Although the door includes three meals a day, it is still the minimum. If you want to have the strength to practice, then you have to add food, plus the purchase of daily necessities, and almost all the monthly cases are put into it in a month. Of the remaining 6,000, I have to send back 2,000 to subsidize my family, and the remaining 4,000 is enough for me to buy potions and supplements. ”

The horizontal practice of martial arts is simple and rude, and the key is the use of medicinal liquids and tonics. The liquid can ensure that the epidermis and muscles will not be damaged to the point of leaving dark wounds. The tonic strengthens the muscles and bones, warms and replenishes the internal organs, without this, there will be internal injuries after long-term practice.

In terms of resources, "Tiger Mighty Body" is definitely a gold-swallowing beast, and once it is practiced, its power is very considerable. At least at present, there is no martial art in the rivers and lakes that can improve the body's defense and strength at the same time. And the most important thing is that there are no side effects from cultivating this martial art! If the price is only penance and spending money...... Not necessarily unacceptable!

Speaking of this, Yang Xiong looked depressed, "There are obviously more than six thousand, why is it gone in the blink of an eye?!"

Chen Ming can probably understand that in the past, the annual income of Xujia Village was about 1,000 yuan, and 6,000 yuan was six years' income, but it was spent in a month, and he felt that it was slightly insufficient......

"I still have some ...... on my side Anyway, I can't usually spend it, do you want to go to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to have a look?" Chen Ming proposed. Let's just say that last month, the monthly case doubled, and then the obligation was exempted, plus the money from the laboratory, and I earned eight thousand a month. After deducting the food and the medicinal liquids and supplements that must be purchased, there are more than 3,000. Coupled with the part saved in the previous months, it added up to about six or seven thousand, and he almost didn't use it much.

That is, when I moved into the dormitory, I spent some money on daily necessities, and I really didn't have any other expenses.

"Actually, in the first month of participating in Tie Lao's experiment, as well as the first few months, I left some of them behind. Yang Xiong shook his head, it was he who proposed to take a vacation, but Chen Ming was asked to spend money, this is not good, "Why don't we go to Baibao Pavilion first?"

The Hundred Treasure Pavilion in the village is a bit like a department store. Except for fresh fruits, which have a relatively short shelf life, there are basically all products, including medicinal baths that most inner disciples use. That thing is still the fist product of Wuhu Village, and many sects will come to order.

In terms of quality and price, the medicinal bath powder of Wuhumen is better than that researched by the Wudang faction and the Shaolin faction. Even the Kunlun faction and the Xiaoyao faction will regularly send people over to purchase.

When I came here, I found that it was being renovated. Yang Xiong found the counter salesman and asked her, "Why did Baibao Pavilion suddenly decorate?"

"Yes!" replied the salesperson at the counter, "Originally, we set up different counters according to the classification of goods, and then our salespeople did the sales. Nowadays, it seems that we are learning from the model of self-selected stores abroad, setting up shelves one by one, and our salespeople should be changed to shopping guides, and only set up a cashier at the exit to collect money......"

Strictly speaking, there are also loss prevention and security personnel, but compared to the previous counter clerks, the status is much worse.

"In other words, we can't go in and shop?" Yang Xiong felt that he was going to suffer.

"Yes, at least for three days, it's not open to the public. The salesman replied.

So ten minutes later, the two of them sat on the bench on this side of the square, silently looking at the blue sky and white clouds, like middle-aged people who had retired home and had nothing to do.

"Why, it's rare holidays, the two of us have to spend time here watching Baiyun?" Yang Xiong complained.

"Yes, why?" Chen Ming was also very strange.

............

..................

"You can't be so decadent!" Yang Xiong stood up suddenly, "Go play cards!"

"Otherwise, it's okay to play chess!" Chen Ming nodded, he couldn't be so decadent.

However, two hours later......

"Playing cards...... Twenty battles and twenty defeats. Chess...... Ten battles and ten defeats. Okay, I'll put up with this, but why is flying chess also five defeats in five battles?" Yang Xiong suddenly flipped the table, how could he still be happy to be unilaterally abused.

"Good luck?" Chen Ming tilted his head, to say that the first two projects were played very badly by Yang Xiong. So how can this last flying chess be explained, except for good luck?

"Then, change it!" Yang Xiong went back to rummage for a while, and then took out a set of Go.

"Will you play this?" Chen Ming looked at Yang Xiong with a strange expression, in his cognition, in the past, there were some old people in the village such as the old village chief who would choose to play high-end things like Go.

"Orthodox Go, of course I don't know!But I didn't say I wanted to play Go!" Yang Xiong replied confidently, "Gomoku, don't say you can't play!"

"Just to play backgammon, you directly bought a set of Go?" Chen Ming looked at him with a dark and strange color.

"You care so much about me! Do you want to play, in a word?" Yang Xiong said angrily.
