Chapter 81 Dresser Upgrades, New Job Information
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was taken aback: "Huh?"
"What I mean is," Liu Ding looked at him, "that martial arts master did make some sense."
Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised: "Why? Didn't you just say, 'Take the medicine if you have it, enjoy the blessings if you have them?' You also said that what that martial arts master said was pure bullshit."
"No, I was just farting." Faced with Qin Chuan's questioning, Liu Ding retracted his previous statement without changing his expression.
......
Upon arriving at the Heaven on Earth, Qin Chuan habitually glanced at the counter first.
That spot was empty; Zhao Fuquan was nowhere to be seen.
He called Xiao Wu over and asked, "Where is Zhao Fuquan?"
Xiao Wu glanced around and replied in a low voice, "He didn't come. He hasn't shown up since he asked for leave last night. Boss Qian didn't send anyone to urge him."
Qin Chuan nodded: "Okay, got it."
Xiao Wu responded and jogged back to the front hall.
Qin Chuan went upstairs to the second floor and then began to help Xiao Taohua and the others with their makeup.

[Professional Skill: Skin Drawing and Facial Retouching]
Qin Chuan paused slightly, then glanced at the panel.
After leveling up, he could feel that the effect of the skill "Skin Refining" had improved significantly.
Now it's not just about making changes to the face; you can also make a lot of changes to your body shape.
After finishing his makeup, Qin Chuan was about to get up and leave when Xiao Taohua approached him with a shy expression. She hesitantly took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to him with both hands: "Manager Qin, last time you asked me to ask that wealthy merchant how much a painting costs. I asked him for you."
Qin Chuan took the paper and casually asked, "What did he say?"
"He...he didn't say how much money." Little Peach Blossom's face flushed even more, her fingers twisting the handkerchief, her eyes darting away. "He just gave me this piece of paper and told me to give it to Mr. Xiaoxiaosheng and ask him to draw a picture based on the image on this paper. After it's finished, he'll pay me according to the quality of the drawing. If it's good...money won't be a problem."
Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.
He unfolded the paper, and the moment his gaze fell upon it, his brow furrowed slightly.
The painting depicts a man and a woman entangled on a bed.
The man is reclining, and the woman is straddling him; their posture is bold and revealing. Although the lines are slightly rough, they perfectly capture the essence of spring.
Ok,
Authentic ancient erotic paintings.
Qin Chuan's expression remained unchanged; he even had the leisure to appreciate it for a moment.
What didn't he see in his past life?
The pictures saved on his phone were more than ten times more stimulating than this. A mere erotic painting drawn with a brush wouldn't even make him blush or feel his heart race.
"That's it?" Qin Chuan asked calmly.
Little Peach Blossom nodded.
"OK."
Qin Chuan folded the paper and then sighed heavily.
no way,
Even a hero can be brought down by a penny!
Although he is now the head manager of the Heaven and Earth Palace and his monthly salary has increased to two taels of silver, which sounds like a lot, he spends it like water.
A medicinal bath costs five ounces, and you need to soak in it once every five days. This alone costs thirty ounces a month.
This doesn't even include daily food and drink expenses, plus the capital for Aunt Liu's shop...
Every single transaction involves money; every single transaction is a drain on the bank.
Where does the silver come from? We can't just steal or rob it.
Qin Chuan shook his head.
Besides, he doesn't steal or rob; he earns money through his own skills.
What's wrong with painting? What's wrong with erotic art? That's art too.
Many great painters in ancient times painted erotic pictures, including Tang Bohu. He was still considered a famous and romantic figure after he finished painting them, and no one criticized him.
Making money is nothing to be ashamed of!
......
The next day, Qin Chuan got up very early.
Before dawn, only a sliver of pale light appeared on the eastern horizon. The streets were quiet, with only a few early risers making a living.
Qin Chuan got out of bed, tidied himself up quickly, washed his face with cold water to refresh himself, and then went out the door, striding towards the vegetable market.
The market was already bustling in the early morning. Qin Chuan walked through the vegetable and fish stalls and came to a pork stall.
Several fresh pork cutlets hung on the stall, and a cleaver and hooks were laid out on the cutting board.
The butcher, Shi Tou, was bending over carrying a rack of spare ribs when he saw Qin Chuan approaching. He straightened up, grinned, and greeted him, "Brother Qin, you're here so early today?"
Qin Chuan nodded. He had bought a lot of pork from this stall and frequented it every few days. Over time, he had become quite familiar with the vendors.
He glanced behind the stall, but didn't see the person he was looking for, so he said, "I came to see your Song Tou about something. Where is he?"
Shi Tou placed the ribs on the cutting board, wiped his hands on his apron, and replied, "Song Tou is slaughtering a pig over there, at the back of the yard. Would you like to wait here for a while, or should I take you there now?"
"Take me there," Qin Chuan said.
Stone responded and led the way, bypassing the meat stall, passing through a narrow alley, and heading towards the backyard.
Qin Chuan came to this stall early in the morning, naturally because of the matter of opening the shop.
If the shop opens, all the pig offal will be inseparable from this pork stall.
Instead of buying piecemeal at the last minute, it's better to pre-order from these pork vendors.
Firstly, it's about maintaining stability, and secondly, it's about keeping prices down.
Stone pushed open the backyard door, and a strong smell of livestock wafted out. Several large pots were set up in the yard, and the fire in the stove was burning brightly, with hot water bubbling and steam rising everywhere.
Song Tou and the others were busy around a big fat pig. The pig weighed at least two or three hundred pounds, was pitch black, and its four hooves were tied with ropes, but it was still struggling desperately and making piercing screams.
"Quick, hold it down! Don't let it flip over!"
"The rope's loose, to the right, to the right!"
Several people hurriedly held down the pig, some pressing its head, some pressing its legs, their faces turning red from the effort.
A burly man stood in front of the pig's head, a sharp knife in his right hand, ready to stab it down.
The pig, with a sudden burst of strength, snapped the rope binding its legs, and the men holding it down were thrown off balance by the force, landing sprawled on their backs.
"Ouch!"
"It's running away! Stop it!"
The pig broke free of its restraints, landed on all fours, and charged wildly around the yard, squealing loudly.
Several burly men chased after him, but how could they catch up with this mad beast?
The pig ran around in circles a few times, then suddenly changed direction and charged towards the courtyard gate.
It was directly facing Qin Chuan and Shi Tou.
Several people in the courtyard cried out in surprise.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Qin Chuan did not dodge.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and just as the pig was less than a step away from him, he suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding the pig's most ferocious head-on collision. At the same time, he reached out with both hands and grabbed the pig's ears and mane.
The entire set of movements was crisp, clean, and executed in one go.
The pig charged with such force that Qin Chuan's shoes plowed two deep furrows into the ground, but his hands held the pig's head firmly, refusing to let go.
He then lowered his waist and hips, revealing his tiger-like form. His feet were rooted to the ground, and he used his back to forcefully press the pig's head down!
"Bang!"
The pig's head was forcefully pressed to the ground, its mouth covered in mud.
"Bring me a knife!"
Qin Chuan shouted loudly.
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.
Stone was the first to react, scrambling to pick up the sharp knife from the ground and handing it over with both hands.
Qin Chuan held the pig's head down firmly with one hand, took the knife with the other, and with his eyes fixed on the pig's throat, he stabbed it down cleanly and decisively without the slightest hesitation.
The blade pierced through, and blood gushed out, splattering hot onto the back of Qin Chuan's hand.
The pig let out a short, miserable squeal, kicked its hooves a few times, twitched its body a few times, and then gradually went limp and stopped moving.
at the same time,
A system voice sounded.
