Chapter 1 Chen Pingan
Chapter 1 Chen Pingan
Daqian Dynasty, Canglong Prefecture, Weishui County City.
It's bright.
It's sizzling!
Inside a private house in Lihua Alley, there was the sound of meat being stir-fried in a frying pan.
The red and white pork belly was jumping slightly in the oil pan. The boiling hot oil continued to absorb the fat and tenderness inside the pork belly, and the aroma of meat filled the entire courtyard.
On the windowsill outside the house, a little girl with a pigtail was lying, staring into the house with eager eyes, her drool covering half of the windowsill.
"Brother, it smells so good~~"
Chen Erya looked at the busy boy in the house and always felt that her brother seemed a little different today than usual.
My brother was busy all night last night and did not come home until dawn.
Normally, if there was a night patrol, my brother would just take a quick bite and fall asleep after returning from the mission. It was very rare for him to do this today.
Not only did he buy the meat, he also cooked it himself.
"Nannan, wait a little longer, it will be ready soon."
The busy boy in the house skillfully poured the auxiliary ingredients into the iron pot, sprinkled in salt, and smiled at the girl on the windowsill.
The boy's smile was a little dazzling, but Chen Erya just thought that her brother looked really good today.
The boy skillfully put the cooked pork belly into a bowl and then stir-fried a plate of seasonal vegetables.
The vegetables were grown by Chen Erya, and they were still alive from the time they were picked to the time they were put into the pot.
The boy's movements were extremely skillful and he finished everything in no time.
"Nannan, come and serve the food. We will eat in the yard today."
Chen Pingan scooped up two bowls of rice and walked towards the yard.
In the middle of the small courtyard, there is an old wooden table with two stools beside it. There are many scratches on the stools, full of the breath of time.
"okay."
Chen Erya moved quickly and excitedly placed a bowl of food in each hand on the table.
"Brother, what's going on today? Why did you cook so many delicious dishes~"
Chen Erya looked at the delicious food on the table and couldn't help drooling.
On the table: two bowls of white rice, without any impurities, it is obvious that it is cooked with the best refined rice.
A bowl of pork belly, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a large bowl of fresh and fragrant pork bone soup.
The steaming milky soup is mouth-watering.
Meals of this standard are not available now, let alone now.
Even when Chen's father was still alive, they rarely enjoyed it.
Hearing this, Chen Pingan touched his sister's head.
"I just feel like I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I'm going to eat some meat today to break the ice."
"Brother~ I'm already grown up, stop touching my head all the time!"
Chen Erya shook off her brother's hand and looked at her brother next to her fiercely. When she saw this, she was slightly stunned.
There seemed to be a light in my brother's eyes.
She had never seen such a light in her brother's eyes since their father's death.
How is today?
Chen Ping'an looked at his sister tenderly and put a piece of fatty but not greasy pork belly into her bowl.
"Don't be stunned, eat quickly!"
"Yes."
Chen Erya was startled and attracted by the aroma of meat in front of her. She bit off half of the meat in one bite, picked up the rice with chopsticks, and swallowed it down her stomach.
“It’s delicious~”
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Chen Pingan said with a smile.
"Brother eats it too."
Chen Erya said sensibly.
"it is good."
Chen Pingan picked up a piece of meat and looked at Chen Erya who was eating with relish, and suddenly felt a little dazed.
It has been several years since the time travel.
He wanted to learn martial arts, but he was not good at it. Not to mention getting started in martial arts, even practicing the basics was extremely difficult.
From the initial ambition and eagerness to try, to the final beating, I just let things go. I thought the days would just pass by like this.
But who knew that something unexpected happened at home.
Father Chen, who had always been strong, was seriously injured during a mission.
Speaking of Chen's father, he was a well-known hero in Lihua Lane.
He is an official official serving in the Nanquanlixiang Pacification Office!
Formal police officers are those who are truly included in the list of the Pacification Bureau, and their identities are truly recognized by the government and gangs of all sizes.
When Chen's father was alive, although the family was not rich, they were much better off than ordinary people.
But when Chen's father fell ill, the family lost its source of income and their lives went from bad to worse.
More than half a year ago, Chen's father passed away and left them forever, leaving only the two siblings to depend on each other.
In fact, if Chen's father had not been working hard for his future for more than a month before his death, he could have lived at least another half a year.
Parental love is far-reaching.
With the help of his father before his death, Chen Ping'an became an unregistered officer in the Nanquanlixiang Zhenfu Division.
Although he was not registered, the identity of a police officer gave him and his sister a guarantee to survive.
Chen Ping'an knew that in order to get him this identity, his father not only gave up his pension for being injured in the line of duty and all subsequent supplies, but also spent all his savings and even borrowed money to open up connections in the Zhenfu Division.
It is better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish!
No matter how much savings you have, they will eventually be gone.
But if Chen Pingan was given the position of an official in the Zhenfu Division, it would mean that he would have a steady stream of income.
As an unregistered constable, his monthly salary was eight cents, which was not considered as any gray income.
This kind of income is not low for ordinary people!
In addition, without his identity protection, it would be difficult for Chen Pingan to protect the family business accumulated by Chen's father. Too much interest would undoubtedly be targeted by some people and cause some unnecessary trouble.
Taking many considerations into account, Mr. Chen's decision was undoubtedly correct.
More than half a year ago, Chen Ping'an officially joined the Nanquanlixiang Pacification Office as an unregistered official and lived a mediocre life.
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed in the repetitive life day after day.
But just yesterday!
Yesterday, he did not return home all night, not because of the usual night patrol, but because he received a secret operation order and surrounded and suppressed a small gang with the captain and officers of the Nanquan Lane Pacification Division.
This small gang is rampant and has a very bad reputation.
Its capture was naturally a great thing for ordinary people.
However, Chen Pingan naturally would not simply think that the Nanquanlixiang Pacification Office was to punish evil and promote good and demonstrate the majesty of Daqian's laws.
The reason why the Nanquanlixiang Zhenfusi took over last night was probably related to the power struggle behind the scenes.
I’m afraid that when an old one disappears, a new one will be born.
However, these things have nothing to do with Chen Pingan.
Yesterday, he was extremely lucky. During the fight between the chief officers of the Pacification Office and the gang leaders, he accidentally picked up a martial arts manual in the base of this small gang.
It is not some magical skill, but just an ordinary inferior body-building skill, Iron Shirt!
He couldn't even bring out a common Iron Shirt.
In gang raids like this, there will be a body search before each member leaves to prevent them from smuggling any benefits.
Unable to take it out, Chen Pingan took the initiative to hand over the iron shirt.
However, before handing it over, he looked through it carefully.
It was this one glance that gave Chen Pingan infinite expectations for his future life.
Thinking of this, the expression on Chen Pingan's face couldn't help but become more eager.
He blinked a few times, and a few lines of text appeared in his sight.
Name: Chen Pingan
Realm: None
Martial Arts: Not yet started with Iron Shirt (0/5)
"Brother, why are you standing there? Come on and eat. If you don't eat these dishes, I will eat them all."
Chen Erya looked at the dazed Chen Pingan and reminded him.
"Haha, let you eat for a while, watch me catch up with you right now."
Chen Pingan picked up the seasonal vegetables and put them directly into his mouth. He chewed them along with the rice and was about to swallow them.
There was a sudden and violent knock on the door outside the courtyard, and along with the knock, there was also a violent shout.
"Open the door! Tiger Head Gang!"
