I have a city in another world

Chapter 7035 Renovation, Grand Opening

The next morning, Tang Zhen went to the market to order various items needed for his shop.

The supply market is located below the high wall and contains all kinds of supplies to meet the daily needs of the residents of the outer city.

According to Tang Zhen, this market only caters to residents of the outer city, and almost no residents of the inner city come to shop there.

There are also markets in the inner city, specifically for the residents of the inner city, and the goods sold there are somewhat different.

Tang Zhen went to the market, selected some counterware, and asked the merchants to send workers to renovate the counter.

Next, they went to another shop to buy various crafting tools, which they also needed to hire a car to take home.

One by one, banknotes were paid, and all sorts of goods were purchased and delivered to the shops one after another.

When I returned at noon, I found the shop unusually lively, with busy crowds all around.

All sorts of workers are working together to rush the job and open for business as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the surrounding merchants came over curiously to inquire, wanting to know what kind of business was being conducted here.

Upon hearing that it was a weapons and equipment shop, they all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it wouldn't compete with their own businesses.

Most of the weapon and equipment shops in the city are officially operated, offering a complete range of products with guaranteed quality, which private shops would find difficult to match.

Onlookers generally believed that this shop's business might not be good, and that not many customers would come.

However, this matter has nothing to do with them; they can simply observe quietly.

There was one thing that surprised the neighbors.

Tang Zhen bought a set of stone table and chairs and placed them in the open space in front of the shop, in a shady spot.

Neighboring businesses and passersby can sit on the tables and chairs to rest and cool off.

His act of bringing benefits to his neighbors upon his arrival is truly commendable.

A group of workers were busy at work, while Tang Zhen sat quietly on a stone chair, with a newly purchased earthenware tea set in front of him.

Occasionally, when a worker asks a question, I'll chat with them for a bit, or go in and offer some pointers.

For the rest of the time, he drank alone, appearing relaxed and at ease.

The employer is not a petty person, and the workers do not feel much pressure while working, but they will not cheat or shirk their duties because of this.

Even if we don't strive for perfection, we still need to be able to make it acceptable; otherwise, arguments are bound to arise when settling wages.

This bustling scene served as advertising, drawing the attention of many passersby to the place.

Passersby inquired about the shop, those who had no interest in it paid no attention, while those who did made a note of it.

When it opens, I can come and take a look.

They worked until dark, and there was still some work to be done. Tang Zhen gave them extra pay, and the workers decided to work overtime to finish all the work.

According to the regulations of the outer city, people are not allowed to go out on the streets after 10 p.m., and the curfew will be lifted at 4 a.m.

If caught exceeding the time limit, they will be sent to jail. If it is confirmed that no crime has been committed, they will be punished by participating in three days of urban construction work.

If someone violates the rules repeatedly, the penalty period will be increased exponentially, and a fine will also be imposed.

The workers estimated that they could finish the job before curfew, which is why they agreed to work overtime.

We went to a nearby restaurant and ordered some food for the workers, which would be delivered at mealtimes.

The restaurant owner chatted with Tang Zhen, subtly inquiring about his identity and background.

Tang Zhen deftly deflected the other party's question, and instead extracted a considerable amount of information from the boss.

When it was time to eat, the group of workers were pleasantly surprised, not expecting their employer to be so generous.

When I was working, I naturally put in more effort.

Two hours after the meal, the project was successfully completed, and payment was made immediately after the inspection was completed without any issues.

After seeing off a group of workers, Tang Zhen smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the newly renovated shop.

He turned and closed the door, then went back to the backyard to sleep. The next morning, Tang Zhen got up, stretched a bit, and went to a nearby shop to get breakfast.

His words and actions during this period were no different from those of an ordinary person.

Back at the shop, Tang Zhen began operating the equipment to prepare weapons and equipment for sale.

It's not that he's short of money, but rather that he uses this method to calm his mind, perceive nature and its rules, and thus achieve spiritual fulfillment.

Crafting equipment is the perfect activity for cultivators to focus their minds and cultivate their spirits, allowing them to concentrate on doing one thing to the best of their ability without distraction.

In a normal shop, the goods sold are not necessarily all made by themselves; they are also ordered and resold from different channels.

Tang Zhen wasn't in a hurry; he figured he could just let things take their natural course.

It took all morning to set up all the equipment, test it, and confirm that there were no problems.

After lunch, Tang Zhen began making his first piece of equipment.

By using several purchased metals and melting them in proportion, a special alloy was created.

Using this alloy, the required gun barrels can be made.

Based on previous observations, it was determined that many of the survivors used firearms, most of which were homemade or modified.

Occasionally, there are standard-issue firearms, but these are mostly military obsolete products, and their performance in all aspects is inferior.

Civilian weaponry is generally inferior to that of the military, due to various considerations.

However, nothing is absolute. In many aspects, the performance of some civilian-customized equipment far surpasses that of standard military equipment.

This is because the military prioritizes cost-effectiveness when it comes to weapons and equipment, while customized weapons and equipment can be increased in investment as needed.

It would be truly inconceivable if a custom-made product, produced at great expense, were of inferior quality to standard weapons and equipment.

Under Tang Zhen's operation, high-quality steel billets were formed and subjected to various hot and cold processing techniques.

Under Tang Zhen's guidance, one part after another was completed and then subjected to more meticulous processing.

Tang Zhen's weaponry was not only unique in its design, but also extremely lethal.

If you are willing to increase the cost, you can also obtain extraordinary attributes and have a stronger destructive effect.

For the next few days, Tang Zhen stayed at home and had meals delivered to him at mealtimes.

Passersby, seeing the door tightly closed, gradually stopped paying attention to the place, as did the nearby shop owners.

Several days later, at dawn, the shop doors opened, and Tang Zhen reappeared before everyone.

When passersby walked by, they saw various items displayed in the shop, including swords, axes, backpacks, armor, and even several unfamiliar firearms.

Among the various professions in the outer city, explorers are the most popular, as they come with certain risks but can reap rich rewards.

Caravan members and ruin explorers all need to be equipped with various weapons.

Many residents in the outer city had once worked in similar professions, but later retired and changed careers for various reasons.

The residents of the outer city were no strangers to weapons and equipment; they could pick them up and use them immediately, and they were also very knowledgeable about their prices, their experience was astonishing.

It's not an easy thing to fool them.

If the quality is excellent and it is recognized by many, then it will certainly be recommended to friends and relatives who need it.

A good reputation is worse than any award. If you have excellent weapons and equipment and can offer good quality at a low price, you'll never have to worry about not having business.

Not long after, the customers who had entered the store began to leave, their faces showing a hint of surprise.

"The newly opened shop sells only the best products."

Before long, people on this street began to talk about the various good products in the newly opened shops.

As noon approached, another group of customers arrived. After some testing and research, they bought a shotgun personally made by Tang Zhen, along with a few other miscellaneous items.

May your business be prosperous and your wealth increase.
