At The Beginning, The True Spirit Is Immortal, And The Talent Adds Some Physical Body.

The next day, Chen Cuo got up early. Fatty was already boxing in his courtyard. Fatty was not as talented as Mazi, but he had to work harder.

"Fat man, what time is it today?" Chen Cuo asked.

"Boss, the winter solstice is in ten days."

Is the winter solstice coming soon? The original person's mother died of illness in the month before the winter solstice last year. After the original person buried her mother, she followed her mother in grief and anger.

After a year of busy work, he had forgotten about it. Thinking back on it, Chen Cuo felt a little sour in his heart.

"Fat man, prepare some things for me. Buy some books on various skills. Whether it's books on cooking, painting, calligraphy, wine making, or identification of medicinal materials, buy a copy of everything you can buy, as well as some books from the drug store. Buy me a copy of all the medicinal materials. Only one or two grams of the expensive ones will be enough.

And is there a perfume shop in our street? Go and find me two of their perfume-making workers. I have something to tell them. "

"Boss, what do you want to do?" Gu Pang asked in confusion.

"Why do you care so much? Just do as I say."

Gu Pang scratched his head in embarrassment, not quite understanding, but the boss must have a reason for doing this, and then ran away in a hurry.

Chen Cuo put the Yanling knife on his waist and quickly came to the yard where Dingxiang was. Dingxiang also got up early and was practicing hard. The boxing and footwork in "Basic Boxing" is a method for men to exercise their bodies. She started to fight There is always something inconsistent.

"Follow me." Ding Xiang followed Chen Cuo without saying a word. She didn't ask where she was going, she just followed.

Ding Xiang saw Chen Cuo buying the paper money for incense candles in an incense and candle shop, and went out of the city gate to the barren mountains in the east.

Walking along the barren mountain, the two soon reached a trail. Chen Cuo took Ding Xiang to a remote and quiet mountain stream.

There is a thin stream high up in the mountain stream, with the sound of gurgling water constantly. Not far from the stream, there is a lonely grave surrounded by a hand-made stone brick fence, but it is obviously The new base didn't take long.

The surroundings were overgrown with weeds. Chen Cuo pulled out his sword and cut down the growing weeds and shrubs along the way, and then walked to the grave with heavy steps.

In front of the grave was a new tombstone. Chen Cuo stretched out his hand to wipe the dust off it and knelt on the ground.

I saw the tombstone written: Therefore, the tomb of Cui Xiaoling, my mother-in-law, was erected by my unfilial son Chen Cuo.

Seeing Chen Cuo kneel down to worship his mother, Ding Xiang knelt down accordingly.

Chen Cuo lit the incense candles and paper money one by one, then laid out the tributes and said in his heart: "Although I am not your biological son in soul, you are still my mother. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Chen Cuo stood up and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Then he said: "Don't worry, I will live a good life." He was not only saying this to Cui Xiaoling, but also to himself.

After cleaning up the remaining weeds around him again, his face was filled with tears, but he quickly wiped them away, returned all his emotions to their original state, and turned around to leave.

Along the way, Ding Xiang seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't say anything, but her footsteps became more determined.

After settling a worry, Chen Cuo returned to Qingshui Street. The fat man had already sent his subordinates to deliver the things he wanted, listed one by one in several thick booklets.

"Encyclopedia of Cooking Skills", "Complete Records of Paintings", "Liu's Brewing Recipes", "Book Records", "Encyclopedia of Identification of Basic Medicinal Materials".

There are also two big bags containing various medicinal materials, as well as some fresh, freshly picked medicinal materials.

He picked up his things and immediately returned to the house, hung up a sign for retreat, and gained experience.

Time passed little by little, and Chen Cuo stayed behind closed doors from morning to night. It was not until evening that he went out, picked up the two perfume workshop workers who had been waiting outside the door all day, and then turned back to the house.

It was late at night before the two were released.

Fatty and Dingxiang stayed here for a day. When they saw the two come out, they couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? What does the boss want to see you for?"

"Here, Boss Chen wants us to teach him the process of making perfume." The two hesitated before telling the truth.

"Teach the boss how to make perfume?" The fat man looked shocked and confused. He really didn't understand what Chen Cuo's series of actions meant. "Boss, don't you want to make money from these things?"

"Go down and receive the reward! Don't tell anyone what happened today." Ding Xiang said to the two workers, who immediately agreed.

Gu Pang and Ding Xiang waited for a while, but Chen Cuo still had no intention of coming out, so they had to return to their room to rest.

At noon the next day, Ding Xiang and the other three were gathering together, thinking about Chen Cuo's behavior and feeling a little strange.

Strangely enough, they didn't go in to inquire. After the daily meal delivery, another two days passed.

On the fourth day, Chen Cuo came out of the room with a face full of excitement, because he finally had enough experience in several books of basic skills.

Countless pieces of information were deeply engraved in his mind, and all skills became like instinct. This is the effect of Talent.

Of course, Chen Cuo was not doing it just for fun. He could practice calligraphy, painting, and identifying medicinal materials. He directly reached the full level. However, cooking and winemaking only depended on reading books, and he had reached the current level. The proficiency level will not increase. The incense making technique is due to the poor skills of the two workers, and even the upper limit of proficiency is not high.

This is a skill he has learned specifically for the stores he owns on Qingshui Street. Next, he wants to make corresponding products to increase the store's income.

Since awakening the "Indestructible True Spirit" Talent, his soul power has begun to strengthen and transform little by little. Now his brain is comparable to having a Transcendent Level memory, and he can recall a lot of forgotten knowledge in the past and understand it. and application.

His career as a social worker in his previous life made him a senior network scientist who knows a little bit about everything. Now, this knowledge can be used just right.

"Boss, you are finally out of seclusion. You have locked yourself in the room for the past two days and laughed horribly from time to time. We were all frightened." The fat man immediately greeted Chen Cuo and asked with concern.

"Isn't the boss going crazy because he's worried about the gambling with the big boss?" Hong Feng, also known as Mazi, made a rare joke.

Ding Xiang said: "Don't worry, boss, we are here, even if you rob, we will get you two thousand taels."

Chen Cuo: "..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I will definitely win this bet with the old man."

"Come on, let's go shopping."

Qingshui Street is in the west of the city, but the entire Acropolis is not that big. A few people quickly arrived at the east gate. The vegetable market at the east gate is open from morning to noon. Most of the residents in the Acropolis only come to the east gate to eat food. You can buy not only vegetables, but also wild animals brought by hunters, leathers resold by merchants, and fresh herbs just picked by herb collectors. They are all various and colorful.

These are the things Chen Cuo needs, so he goes shopping like crazy.

Carrying large and small bags of things, Chen Cuo took Ding Xiang and others back to Qingshui Street, and Chen Cuo began to crazily gain experience again.

As a result, Ding Xiang and the others, as well as the twenty brothers under his command, all suffered. For a time, mourners filled the land and complained endlessly.

They became Chen Cuo's food testers, trying the "delicious food" made by Chen Cuo himself.

Those weird dishes aroused their taste buds crazily. Due to the boss's reputation, they could only eat it with all their strength. The strange thing was that in just two days, the dishes made by Chen Cuo were no longer so unpalatable. And gradually it became a little bit more delicious, even delicious.

And Chen Cuo is also planning to start researching medicated diet.

Just when Dingxiang and the others thought they were going to live a good life for a few days, Chen Cuo turned around and gave up on cooking. He chose to move some glass bottles and straight bamboo pipes into the house without letting them Several people followed.

Then, Chen Cuo went into retreat again.
