Learn a small skill every day and embark on a crazy life

Chapter 53 Request
Looking at the group of beggars who looked like reincarnated hungry ghosts, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Giving out porridge is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.

We can't let them come here every day to eat and drink for free, right?

This will only make them lazy.

Shen Qiu touched his chin, his eyes rolling around.

"Everyone, stop for a moment, stop for a moment."

Shen Qiu stood on a wooden table and shouted to the crowd.

The beggars who were eating hard were startled by his sudden shout. They looked up and looked at him in confusion.

"Everyone, I know it's not easy for everyone, but we can't always rely on others for charity, right?"

Shen Qiu cleared his throat and continued, "I'm planning to build a large entertainment venue behind Fanlou recently. I need a lot of wood, stone, sand, etc. How about this? As long as everyone is willing to help, just move a stone or a piece of wood over, and I will give you a bowl of porridge. How about it?"

"What? Carrying stones and wood in exchange for porridge?"

"Is this...is this okay?"

"If I move a stone, I will get a bowl of porridge. So I have to move hundreds of stones today, right?"

The beggars were talking about it, obviously finding Shen Qiu's proposal a little unbelievable.

"Of course it's true. I, Shen Qiu, keep my word!"

Shen Qiu patted his chest and assured, "For the extra money, I can still give it to you in copper coins."

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward, let alone a small task like moving some light stones or sand.

Soon, a few brave beggars came over tentatively with a few stones. Shen Qiu really kept his promise and asked the guards to fill their bowls with porridge.

Now, the beggars who were originally hesitant were completely excited. They rushed to the distance one after another, fearing that they would not be able to grab the wood and stones if they went too late.

Shen Qiu looked at this bustling scene with a slight smile on his face.

It's not that he really lacks manpower to move the stones. Any one of the guards and maids in the building can move a lot of stones in a day.

Shen Qiu just wanted to make these beggars understand that if they wanted to live, they had to work instead of just begging.

Moreover, some people with strong self-esteem will not have their self-esteem hurt. In a sense, this is called working for a living.

Of course, Shen Qiu knew that changing these beggars' deep-rooted begging habits would not be a matter of a day or a night.

However, he is not in a hurry. Everything needs to be done slowly.

……

Time flies, and water flows mercilessly. Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ding, today's sign-in is complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random small skill: Unparalleled Defense!"

Note: When the host is subjected to a powerful attack, he will automatically activate the unparalleled defense and become immune to any attack below the divine realm.

"Hey, I finally got a good skill. Has the system opened its eyes to see the world?"

Shen Qiu leaned on the recliner, holding a crystal clear fruit in his hand and chewing it bit by bit.

Two days ago, Shen Qiu signed in and acquired two Go skills, namely "Ghost Chess Pattern" and "Six-Harmony Pattern", but they were of no use and Shen Qiu didn't care about it.

Just as he was enjoying it, a maid hurriedly came in from the door and bowed slightly to Shen Qiu, "My lord, Master Lu wants to see you."

"Old Man Lu, why is he here again?" Shen Qiu sat up from the recliner. This Lu Daocheng would not bother him unless there was something wrong on weekdays. Could it be that there was a problem with the refining of the "Moonlight Dew" elixir?
"Let him come up." Shen Qiu waved his hand, and the maid took the order and left.

After a while, Lu Daocheng hurried in. He bowed to Shen Qiu with a serious expression, "Boss Shen, I can't make the elixir, so I may need..."

"Old Man Lu, if there is anything between you and me, just say it directly. Why be so polite?" Shen Qiu waved his hand, motioning him to sit down and talk.

Seeing this, Lu Daocheng sat down and said slowly: "Boss Shen, you asked me to refine the Yuehua Lurui elixir, I am afraid I can't do it."

Shen Qiu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"The Moonlight Dew is a rare treasure in the world. Although I have been refining pills for many years, I have only seen records of it in ancient books and have never actually refined it."

"After a few days of research, I discovered that in order to refine this pill, not only do I need several extremely precious auxiliary materials, but I also need a special kind of flame. This kind of flame can only be produced by the 'Earth Fire Furnace' in other large counties."

Speaking of this, Lu Daocheng's tone was full of helplessness.

After hearing this, Shen Qiu frowned. This was a bit troublesome.

"Then according to Master Lu, what should we do?" Shen Qiu asked.

Lu Daocheng pondered for a moment and said, "For now, the only solution is for me to go to other large counties to look for the necessary auxiliary materials and the 'Earth Fire Furnace', but..."

"Just what?" Shen Qiu looked at Lu Daocheng who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.

"But the journey is long. Even if the elixir is refined, it will inevitably attract the greed of others..."

At this time, Lu Daocheng paused and did not continue speaking, but the meaning was self-evident.

Shen Qiu certainly understood his concerns. Other large counties were not as peaceful as Tianhuang City.

"Master Lu, please sit for a while. I will think of a solution." Shen Qiu played with the teacup in his hand, signaling Lu Daocheng to be patient.

After a while, Shen Qiu sent someone to invite Chen Jianyu and Li Qinghua.

A moment later, Chen Jianyu and Li Qinghua came to the top floor together.

"Brother Shen, what do you want to see me for?"

Chen Jianyu was dressed in white, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he had an extraordinary temperament, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its edge.

"Brother Chen, it's like this..."

Shen Qiu took a few steps forward and told him that Lu Daocheng wanted to go to other large counties to look for the auxiliary materials and the "Earth Fire Furnace" for refining the "Moonlight Dew" elixir.

"So, I would like to ask Brother Chen to escort Master Lu for a few days. What do you think?" Shen Qiu asked with a smile.

As for Li Qinghua's safety, with Jiuxuannu, Shadow Howling Moon Tiger and Silver-feathered Sky Eagle there, even if a strong man in the early stage of Martial Honor came, he would not be able to gain any benefits.

After listening to this, Chen Jianyu pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Li Qinghua beside him with a questioning look in his eyes.

Li Qinghua understood, thought for a while, nodded gently, and said softly: "Husband, don't worry about me. Master Shen has many experts here, and my safety will be guaranteed."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Shen Qiu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her.

Li Qinghua was wearing a light blue dress today, her long black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, she was really pitiful.

Shen Qiu secretly praised in his heart that Chen Jianyu was so lucky to have such a beautiful woman.

However, he is not the kind of person who can't walk when seeing a beautiful woman. What's more, there are nine stunning beauties around him, each with their own unique charm.
