Chapter 289: The Big Eater Yin Zhong

As for Duan Fengyun, he continued to play the role of a helpful citizen early this morning.

Duan Fengyun brought a pile of nutritional supplements from home and came to knock on the door of the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop.

The early morning knocking sound woke up Men Laotou and Dazhu, who were still fast asleep.

"Which blind fool is it, not letting people sleep so early in the morning."

Men Laotou rubbed his sleepy eyes, grumbling as he walked to the main gate and opened it.

Men Laotou opened the door to see Duan Fengyun carrying gifts in both hands.

Men Laotou asked in confusion:

"Boss Qin, what is this for?"

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Didn't you take someone in last night?

I feel like this person must be full of stories, so I brought some gifts to see him."

Upon hearing that he wasn't here to see him, Men Laotou's expression instantly fell.

But thinking of how Duan Fengyun usually took care of him, he said with a smile:

"I see, come in, Boss Qin. That fellow of unknown origin hasn't woken up yet.

Boss Qin, you really are a great philanthropist.

Even helping someone of unknown origin."

Thanks to the fact that Duan Fengyun had done many good deeds over the past five years, Men Laotou did not suspect that Duan Fengyun had ulterior motives.

Duan Fengyun followed Men Laotou into the room where Yin Zhong was; at this moment, Yin Zhong was still fast asleep.

Meanwhile, Men Jianqiu was resting with her head on the table nearby.

Duan Fengyun pointed at Men Jianqiu and said:

"Jianqiu has been sleeping here all night."

Men Laotou replied helplessly:

"Isn't that so?

This girl is too stubborn. She said she was worried that something might be wrong with this person, so she stayed here all night, no matter how I tried to persuade her, it was useless."

After hearing the conversation between Men Laotou and Duan Fengyun, Men Jianqiu raised her head, opened her eyes, and said:

"Father, Boss Qin, why are you here?"

Men Laotou said:

"Boss Qin here is worried about the safety of this person of unknown origin, so he brought gifts to see him."

Men Jianqiu smiled:

"Boss Qin really is a warm-hearted person!"

As for Yin Zhong, who was fast asleep, he sensed someone had arrived; the agility he had cultivated over hundreds of years made him immediately open his eyes and sit up from the bed.

Seeing Yin Zhong suddenly sit up, the three of them, Duan Fengyun included, immediately surrounded him.

Yin Zhong looked at the three of them and the environment in front of him in confusion, and he asked:

"Where is this?

Who are you?"

Men Jianqiu replied:

"This is the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop, my home.

My name is Men Jianqiu, this is my father, and this is Boss Qin.

What is your name, and where are you from?"

Yin Zhong listened to Men Jianqiu's words and tried to recall earnestly, but then he panicked, because he had no memory of his previous life at all.

He shook his head and replied:

"I don't remember anything.

I don't know what my name is, and I don't know where I live."

Upon hearing this, Men Laotou hurriedly pulled Men Jianqiu to the side and said:

"Jianqiu, look, this person is of unknown origin, he doesn't even know his own name or where he lives.

Let's send him away quickly; I'm worried that something might happen if he stays here with us."

Men Jianqiu shook her head and refused:

"He can't even remember his name or his home; if we drive him out, how will he survive?"

While the father and daughter were arguing about whether to keep Yin Zhong, Duan Fengyun had already begun to observe him.

He appeared honest and sincere on the outside, but his body was filled with immense energy.

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"You say you don't remember anything, but surely you must know how to do something?"

Yin Zhong shook his head, indicating that he himself didn't know what he could do.

At this time, Men Jianqiu, who had finally persuaded Men Laotou, walked over and said:

"Boss Qin, he looks very strong, why don't we let him stay here and learn sword casting?

Anyway, our business is booming now, and we are just in need of hiring new people."

Men Jianqiu then looked at Yin Zhong and said:

"You don't have a name, and you're tall and a bit silly, how about I call you Sha Dage?"

Yin Zhong nodded and said:

"A name is just a code; you can call me whatever you like, Miss."

Men Jianqiu smiled and said:

"Alright, then Sha Dage, from today on, you shall stay at my Men Family Sword Casting Workshop and learn to cast swords.

If you remember your own name, then you may leave.

Because you are just starting to learn, and you will be eating and living here, there will be no wages, okay?"

Yin Zhong nodded and smiled foolishly:

"It's fine, it's fine, as long as I'm provided with food and lodging, that's enough; I don't need money."

As he spoke, Yin Zhong's stomach let out a rumbling sound.

Yin Zhong looked at everyone awkwardly and said:

"I'm a bit hungry, could you let me eat something?"

Duan Fengyun took out the roasted chicken and roasted duck he had already packed for Yin Zhong with his right hand and waved them in front of Yin Zhong, saying:

"Eat, these were all prepared for you."

Meanwhile, Jianqiu carried in a large basin of porridge and said:

"This is the plain porridge I cooked, Boss Qin, you should eat some too."

Duan Fengyun smiled:

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Duan Fengyun was also very curious to see what kind of big eater Yin Zhong, who hadn't eaten for a long time, would turn into.

Just as Duan Fengyun, Men Laotou, Dazhu, and Jianqiu picked up their bowls and took a sip of porridge, the bowl in front of Yin Zhong was already clean.

Yin Zhong ignored the strange looks from Men Laotou and the others, took the basin directly in front of him, hugged it, and started eating.

After eating the entire basin of plain porridge clean, Yin Zhong then finished off the roasted chicken and roasted duck that Duan Fengyun had brought.

Still feeling unsatisfied, Yin Zhong even poured himself two full bowls of water.

After filling his stomach, Yin Zhong finally noticed that he had accidentally eaten everyone's breakfast.

Yin Zhong touched his head awkwardly and said:

"Sorry everyone, I was too hungry, so I couldn't control myself."

Men Laotou, who had originally had reservations about taking Yin Zhong in, felt like backing out again after seeing Yin Zhong's massive appetite.

Duan Fengyun noticed Men Laotou's hidden thoughts, patted Men Laotou on the shoulder, and said:

"Master Men, with the help of this Sha Dage brother, I believe the business of your Men Family Sword Casting Workshop will surely get better and better.

By then, it certainly won't be as easy as before for my Ririsheng Guild to purchase weapons from you, Master Men.

So, to ensure that the business between your place and my Ririsheng Guild doesn't fall through, I have decided to raise the price of the weapons from one hundred wen each to one hundred and twenty wen each.

Please, Master Men, you must give our Ririsheng Guild priority for the purchase of weapons when the time comes."

Dazhu did not understand the subtext of Duan Fengyun's words and immediately stood up to refute:

"Boss Qin, you are too polite.

Without your support, Boss Qin, how could our Men Family Sword Casting Workshop be where it is today?

No matter what, our Men Family Sword Casting Workshop will definitely sell to you first, Boss Qin."

"Go, go, go, move aside.

Since when is it your turn to be in charge at the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop?"

Men Laotou pushed Dazhu away and said.

How could Men Laotou not understand what Duan Fengyun meant?

Men Laotou understood that Duan Fengyun wanted him to take in this Sha Dage, and as for the expenses of Sha Dage, Duan Fengyun would cover them.

Since Boss Qin had already spoken, how could Men Laotou continue to be stubborn?

Men Laotou nodded and said:

"Then I shall follow Boss Qin's words, thank you, Boss Qin."

Men Jianqiu naturally understood Duan Fengyun's subtext as well, gave Duan Fengyun a thumbs up, and said:

"Boss Qin, you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva!"

Duan Fengyun laughed to himself:

"I am no Bodhisattva; the one who truly has the heart of a Bodhisattva is Men Laotou.

Not only did he save Yin Zhong, but he will also marry his daughter to Yin Zhong.

It's just that when Men Laotou sees Yin Zhong marrying Men Jianqiu later, I wonder if he will regret inviting a wolf into his house."

Duan Fengyun stood up and said:

"I've eaten enough, Jianqiu, Sha Dage brother, let's go out for a walk together.

Sha Dage brother just arrived at the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop and doesn't have any clothes of his own, so let's take him out and buy him two sets of clothes.

I don't have much of an eye for picking clothes, so Jianqiu, you should come with us and help pick them out.

Of course, Jianqiu, if you see any clothes you like, please feel free to speak up; since I've invited you along, I must give you a little help fee."

Men Jianqiu smiled after hearing this:

"Boss Qin, you are truly generous.

Sha Dage, let's go, let's go to the street and buy clothes!"

Upon hearing about going to the street to buy clothes, Yin Zhong stood up from the bench in high spirits.

Dazhu felt a deep longing when he saw Jianqiu and Sha Dage heading to the street, but he was glared back by a roll of the eyes from Men Laotou.

"What are you going for!

If you go, who will be responsible for cleaning up? Go quickly and take the bowls to wash them.

Then go find a few people to help; the Sword Furnace was destroyed last night, and we need to rebuild it today."

Without the Sword Furnace, what tools would I have to make a living, and what would I use to pay your wages so you can start a family?

A person must earn more money to let their family live better; Dazhu, you must work hard."

Fed by a round of Men Laotou's toxic chicken soup for the soul, Dazhu, filled with motivation, took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, in Shuiyue Dongtian, Tong Zhan, as the new son-in-law, was to take Yin Tianxue back to her maiden home today.

And the curious Tong Bo and Tong Xin followed Tong Zhan as they hurried to Yujian Villa.

Of course, Dou Dou could certainly not be left out either.
