Chapter 10: Cultivating the Mind

Two days later, the old woman in the yard fell to the ground with a thud while fetching water.

It was gone in an instant.

The old lady finally doesn't have to suffer day and night.

There was one less person who could work in the yard, and the three children and the bean lady had the added chore of cooking.

Tian Buli paid for the funeral. He bought a coffin for the old lady and hired monks to chant sutras. Finally, she was buried in the rotten land in Tian Buli's hometown.

Hu Yuwei was unable to walk far, so after Tian Buli returned from his hometown in the countryside with his three children, he knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your kindness, righteous man!"

"Please stand up quickly. Sir, you have just recovered a little recently. You must not let this ruin your health. It is the right thing to do now to work hard and get out of this adversity."

Tian Buli helped the sick man up, and together with the children, he helped him into the house to comfort him.

Mr. Sick decided to cheer up and live a good life.

Of course Tian Buli was happy, because this way he could stay away from that woman and live a few more years.

At this time, Hu'er was holding a box containing sacrificial offerings.

"Second father, where should I put this box?"

"We'll cook the chicken in the box tonight. Dahu, learn how to cook. From now on, it'll all depend on you and your brother."

All three children agreed to have chicken tonight.

Tian Buli didn't have time to comfort others. He was busy buying some eggs to thank his neighbors for their help over the past two days.

After working all afternoon, I just returned to the yard when I was stopped by the bean lady and pulled directly into the house.

"How much land do you have at home?"

Tian Buli breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"I saved some money for the villagers when I worked at the escort agency. I thought it was all gone. But when I went back to ask, I found that I still had three acres of wasteland backed by a mountain and a broken mud house in the village."

Dou Niang smiled and said, "They must know that you work for the escort agency, so they don't dare to bully you too much. They left some land for you. It's good that you go back this time. You should be fine in the next one or two years. They don't dare to go too far when they know you are in the city. You are not a small boy~"

At the end of Dou Niang's words, her hand touched Tian Buli's thigh again.

Tian Buli has been very busy these days and has become much stronger.

But some things still need to be restrained. Tian Buli said gently: "Let's talk about it after the seventh day."

Lady Bean said fiercely: "She's not your mother, why are you afraid of ghosts?"

Tian Buli became stronger when he met a stronger person, and said fiercely: "How can a person be without any rules?"

Bean Lady quickly softened and reached out to comfort Tian Buli.

"Don't be angry, Brother Tian. What matters is that I like you. You haven't been home these two days, and I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep."

Tian Buli said: "I think you have been idle for a while, and you feel uncomfortable because you have nothing to do."

Dou Niangzi also thought so, so she tilted her head and leaned on Tian Buli's shoulder.

"Brother Tian, ​​how about we stop selling tofu and start some ordinary small business?"

"Making tofu is too hard. We had no choice before. We didn't know what to do if not this. Now we have one less person to feed. In a few years, our three children will be able to work and farm. Otherwise, we will just go to your house to farm." Tian Buli hugged the woman. "Farming is even harder. What's more, there is nothing in the village. We have to look for a wife in the neighboring village."

Dou Niangzi touched Tian Buli's thigh with her hand and said, "What should I do..."

Tian Buli thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later. Now the tofu we make every day can be sold. The quality of the tofu has improved a lot. I will pass this skill to Hu'er in the future and let him make this."

After improvements, the tofu now tastes much better, has less debris, and especially looks a lot whiter.

The food was delicious, and with Tian Buli's eloquence, he was able to sell most of the bucket of tofu, and the rest was bartered with people from nearby stalls.

"I'll go check on the moldy tofu. Please be patient for a few more days. I'll help you after the seventh day."

"Well... I'll help you too." Lady Bean stood up and helped.

After all, she is the woman in charge of the household, and she works very efficiently.

The moldy tofu has already gone moldy and is now being sealed and sterilized in the marinade. It will take some time before it can be eaten.

It was a bit risky to eat it directly, so Tian Buli planned to let the neighbors nearby try it and then make plans.

A few days later, Tian Buli discovered that after more than ten days of self-cultivation, his life span had increased again!
External Qi 1.02, Internal Qi 0.51, Body Bone 0.9, Root Bone 1, Face Bone 1, Spiritual Root 10.001, Taoism 10 days, Fortune 1, Lifespan 18/41
"It really is because of the work. Getting up in the middle of the night to do physical work and not getting enough rest during the day will really shorten your life."

Knowing the reason is difficult.

After all, tofu must be ground at night. Otherwise, if it is ground in the morning, no one will buy tofu in the afternoon.

Tian Buli thought of Fujiwara Takumi. Even in that era on Earth, Takumi still had to drive to deliver tofu in the middle of the night.

Making tofu is not a matter of production technology.

Either change your career or stick with it.

Tian Buli quickly thought of a way to break the deadlock.

Sleep from afternoon to night, work from midnight until noon, and then sleep from afternoon to night.

The twelve hours are completely divided into two halves, unlike before when I would take a nap, get up and work for a while, and work myself to death.

After persisting for two days, I found that the effect was surprisingly good, especially after getting up in the middle of the night to grind the mill for two hours, and then sitting in the yard to meditate and rest until six or seven o'clock. My body's recovery speed was significantly improved.

This means that in addition to the twelve hours from afternoon to night, most of the time from midnight to noon is also spent on rest, which is a lot easier than before.

During this period, I also had sex with Ladybug a few times and found that the impact was not a big deal, but I still exercised restraint and only did it once every three days.

As the autumn leaves turn yellow and the weather turns colder, farmers near Yanque City begin to pull cotton into the city to sell.

This world is not Earth. It not only has soybeans, potatoes and sweet potatoes, but also cotton and corn, but the yield is not that high.

Meat was still a rare commodity, and ordinary people only ate a few bites during festivals, weddings, funerals, etc.

In a month, Tian Buli had grown a lot taller and his steps had become steadier. Now he could carry a load of 100 kilograms uphill with ease.

Business at Fuyuan Escort Agency also became busy, because the agency had a rule not to escort during the New Year, and the escort business outside Qitian Prefecture had to be stopped before the twelfth lunar month.

Business is relatively more in August, September, October and November every year.

Apart from the people on the street and the neighbors nearby, few people noticed Tian Buli's presence.

Even Liu Menjing, Zhang Xia and others forgot about Tian Buli because they were so busy.
