At noon the next day, Gao Mingcheng directly chartered a whole restaurant and invited people from the bureau to eat, and the food on the table was very rich, but there was no wine, because it was noon, and he had to handle the case in the afternoon.

In addition to eating, Gao Mingcheng also gave everyone a red envelope as a thank you.

At Gao Guobing's signal, everyone accepted the red envelope with a smile. As soon as this red envelope is received, I will naturally be more concerned about the safety of Xinxin clothing stores in the future.

In the afternoon, Gao Mingcheng actually saw a monkey near the clothing store.

The monkey is holding a broom made of thin bamboo, sweeping up the garbage near the entrance of the store.

Clothing stores are on the street, and people come and go on the street, so naturally there are people who are not hygienic and litter.

Usually, there are people who are responsible for cleaning the streets, but there are few people to clean up, and at the end of the day, there are always times when it is dirty.

When Gao Shufang opens the store every day, in addition to cleaning the store, she will also clean the ground outside the store, so that it will look cleaner and tidier.

When the monkey saw Gao Mingcheng, his body shrunk, and a smile appeared on his face, he didn't say anything, and after cleaning up the outside of the store, he left.

Gao Mingcheng looked at his back with a deep gaze.

This time, the clothing store will be robbed, and the monkey can be said to be the culprit, although in the end the robber is caught, and the robbed money is also recovered.

But the losses are real losses.

Not to mention the mental damage suffered by many Mei and others, the store was smashed, some cabinets and hangers were broken and needed to be repurchased, and some clothes were robbed, and the value of those clothes was more than 100 yuan.

Those clothes have been worn by the Central Plains Five Tigers, even if they have only been worn for a few hours, Gao Mingcheng is disgusted and refuses to ask for them anymore, but it will not be cheap for those people, he said to the people in the police station, whoever wants it, who will take it.

In these years, many people's lives are not very good, even if the police officers live well, but there are always a few poor relatives, who wash the clothes, or take them to wear for themselves, or give them away, or sell them at a low price.

In addition to these losses, Gao Mingcheng also invited people from all over the world to eat and gave red envelopes, and gave Mao Zi ten yuan, and there were also more than a dozen young people in Qingshan Village who went into the mountains with flashlights and torches to find people, which was another expense.

Gao Mingcheng was calculating the accounts in his heart, and he became more and more irritable.

He walked to the backyard, picked up a pair of stone locks and walked to the door of the store, put them down, and then went to write a big-character poster: "Anyone who can lift a pair of stone locks will be half price in the store!" ”

He pasted the poster on the wall and began to play tricks.

This pair of stone locks was chiseled out of the stones he found in the mountains, one stone lock weighed 100 catties, and a pair was 200 catties.

In the past, he practiced lifting locks in the backyard, but today he decided to put them in front of the store, and he plans to practice lifting locks here in the future when there are many people on the street, so as to deter Xiaoxiao.

He can't stay in the store every day, and the people from the police station can't patrol the neighborhood all the time, so he needs to show his force to deter Xiaoxiao.

Legend has it that the stone lock originated in the Tang Dynasty military camp, flourished in the Qing Daoguang period, where those who practice martial arts, often use the stone lock to carry out grip strength, wrist strength, arm strength and waist, leg strength training.

When Gao Mingcheng was in the village, because the place was large, he could boxing and running in the mountains, but in the county, the place was narrow and he couldn't stretch his muscles and bones to his heart's content, so lifting stone locks became a training he often did.

Big-character posters and a pair of huge stone locks instantly attracted people coming and going on the street, and pedestrians began to stop.

Gao Mingcheng didn't say much, and began to raise the stone lock.

The stone lock lifting method mainly includes snatch and swing lift, with forward throw, reverse throw, straddle throw, back throw and other throwing methods and hand, finger, elbow, shoulder, head and other ways to form a variety of suit actions.

In addition to one-person training, you can also work with two or three people, and there is a lot of competitive work.

It's a pity that Gao Mingcheng's stone lock is too heavy, and there are not many people in the village who practice martial arts, so he can only practice by himself.

Fortunately, he is very familiar with all kinds of techniques and movements.

He first lifted a pair of stone locks, and then began to play from simple to complex.

When a pair of two-hundred-pound stone locks were thrown up by him and then caught, he sank slightly.

At the end of a set of suit actions, the onlookers immediately cheered.

"Good!"

They didn't know how heavy the pair of stone locks were, but they didn't look light, at least they had to be more than eighty pounds, so the cheers continued for a long time.

Gao Mingcheng looked around at the audience and said in a deep voice: "As long as you can lift this pair of stone locks, all the goods in the store will be half price, and they will be valid forever!" ”

He stepped back, pointed to the pair of stone locks, and said, "Who wants to try it?" ”

"Me!" In the crowd, there was an immediate response from the do-gooders, and people parted ways, and a man who appeared to be in good shape stepped forward.

He wears short sleeves, revealing his tendons.

In this era, his figure is indeed very good.

"I'll try!" The man said, and began to prepare.

He bent down slightly, took a few deep breaths, and began to lift it hard, but this mention made his face quickly redden, and the stone lock gradually lifted up under his grasp, but he tried hard for a long time, but he did not completely lift the stone lock.

In the end, he could only let go of one stone lock, and instead chose to lift only one.

Although he struggled a little with this action, he finally completed it.

So the onlookers also gave applause.

It's just that when the stone lock landed, the ground slammed sounded, indicating that he had lost his strength in the end, unlike Gao Mingcheng, from beginning to end, the stone lock was in his hands, as light as nothing.

The sturdy man gave Gao Mingcheng a thumbs up and said convincingly: "Awesome! This pair of stone locks must have at least two hundred catties! I'll give you one, it's already done my best, you can actually lift a pair, and it's so easy! ”

Gao Mingcheng also smiled and said heartily: "Although it is said that it is half price for the whole store to lift a pair of stone locks, but since you are the first person and successfully lift another one, then I will also give you a half-price discount!" Big brother, let's go into the store and see if there's anything you need to buy. ”

Gao Mingcheng smiled and guided the man into the store.

The man was a little older than Gao Mingcheng, about thirty.

He was passing by, and all the clothes at home were bought by his wife, but now Gao Mingcheng gave him a half-price discount, which made him feel that he would suffer a loss if he didn't buy it, so he went into the store and picked it up.

Gao Mingcheng gave Gao Shufang a look, Gao Shufang immediately guided the man to the men's clothing area, and then Gao Mingcheng came to the door of the store again, looked at the onlookers and said, "Who else wants to try?" ”

This time, there are still people who want to try it.

It's just that they didn't even lift a pair of stone locks, they didn't even lift a stone lock.

A hundred pounds of weight, if you work hard to lift, you can lift it, but if you want to lift, it is not easy, without training, it is difficult to do, even if you do, it is easy to strain the muscles and bones.

It's just that people have a herd mentality, and there are few entertainment programs at this time, so the news that Xinxin clothing stores can lift stone locks at half price quickly spread throughout the county.

Some people who thought they had the strength to try it out.

It's just that none of those people can lift a pair of stone locks, at most, like the first big brother, they can only lift one stone lock.

It's just that the first person, Gao Mingcheng gave a half-price discount, but the people behind him didn't give it.

Facing everyone's disappointed looks, he only smiled and said, "Go back and practice more, I believe you will be able to lift it soon." ”

And when someone asked Gao Mingcheng for advice, Gao Mingcheng did not hide his secrets, said some skills of lifting stone locks, and demonstrated them in public.

It's just that all skills are just auxiliaries, and in the end, power is king.

Since then, the pair of stone locks have been placed at the door of the store, and every morning, Gao Mingcheng will stand at the door of the store to practice lifting the stone locks.

In the past, he simply used the stone lock to practice strength, but now there are a lot of tricky performances, throwing the stone lock up, catching it again, or catching it after turning around quickly, or hooking it with his foot, etc., and the viewing is suddenly improved.

The news spread ten, ten spread hundreds, everyone knew that the owner of the Xinxin clothing store was a powerful person, a pair of two hundred pounds of stone locks, easy to throw.

In the past, well-informed people in the county only knew that Gao Mingcheng was the nephew of the Gao Bureau, so they were very face-saving, and the gangsters in the county did not dare to have bad ideas.

But until now, everyone knows that the nephew of the high bureau is really not simple!

Gao Mingcheng's display of strength did have a certain deterrent effect, and the gangsters in the entire county would never dare to beat him anymore, and they had been beaten by him like Monkey Maozi, and now they are also convinced, and they don't mention the events of the year anymore.
