  The gate was also replaced, the original iron gate painted with red rust-proof paint was changed to wood. I don't know where Zhang Yu found it, but it looks very antique and matches the entire courtyard wall perfectly. At first glance, it has a feeling of traveling through time and suddenly returning to the Republic of China era.

  The old house's interior buildings were demolished, all the sheds and kitchens that were randomly built by the residents in the past were completely removed. At a glance, it looked much cleaner and the entire old mansion had changed beyond recognition, making Wen Fei almost unbelievable.

  Wen Fei parked the car, taking up half of the street, but there was no other choice, as it was impossible to find a parking spot nearby. As they walked in, they saw many workers still busy at work, but the entire courtyard had already undergone a transformation. It looked ancient yet elegant, even more so than those Republic-era houses often seen on TV.

  "How did you get here?" Zhang Yu looked at Wen Fei in surprise, calling out strangely. He had been staying in this old house to supervise the work for these days and seemed to have lost a circle. Although it was said that this house belonged to Wen Fei, opening a restaurant still required two people to come together to take a look.

  "What kind of restaurant is this broken place?" Wen Fei said: "There isn't even a parking spot outside!"

  "Nothing to worry about, our backyard is so big that we can park a few cars. Besides, this is a private kitchen, and we don't need to entertain guests like clouds coming from afar. We just focus on one dish at a time, and receiving three to five groups of customers a day is enough!"

  "What else do you want to earn?"

  "You don't understand, do you? When we receive a wave of guests, we must earn as much money as they make in a day!" Zhang Yu said with great confidence: "We either don't do it, or we do it to the best. I've already thought of the name for this shop, let's call it Nourishing Life Hall! What we eat here isn't just flavor, it's health, it's strength... Do you know why it's called Nourishing Life Hall? Nourishing life, nourishing the kidneys too!"

  Wen Fei finally understood, this guy's idea all along was to open a private restaurant using the medicinal herbs he brought back from ancient times. No wonder he was so insistent on opening one!

  Those natural and non-polluting medicinal materials brought back from ancient times are indeed very potent. Especially many of the medicinal materials are great tonics, whether it's red flower or mountain spirit. Last time Zhang Yu came once and had a one-night stand five times, I'm afraid he got hooked.

  Wen Fei wasn't very interested in the business of this store, he had made tens or hundreds of millions of dollars before. Naturally, he looked down on this small business and pulled Zhang Yu to one side, asking in a low voice: "What about what you told me last time?"

  "What thing?" Zhang Yu was taken aback, then reacted: "You mean the gun? You really want it?"

  Wen Fei nodded, isn't this nonsense? Speaking of which, the PPK in Wen Fei's hand is a genuine antique. Its appearance is very similar to our domestically produced 64 type. Indeed, our 64 type was originally imitated from this German-made handgun from the 1930s. So Wen Fei and Zhang Yu, two gun enthusiasts, actually mistook it for a 64 type.

  This gun has been around for 70 or 80 years now. Even with good maintenance, its performance can't be guaranteed. Last time Wen Fei fired it and hit two targets in a row, but on the third shot, it suddenly jammed. Wen Fei was startled and broke out in cold sweat. If Zhang Shu wasn't an extraordinary scholar with quick reflexes, the outcome of that incident would have been disastrous!

  "Last time I said the 92 was not easy to get, but there is a 54, how about it?" Zhang Yu said: "Moreover, the bullets for the 54 are also much easier to get... What do you want to use a gun for? You're not going to go kill someone, are you?"

  "Self-defense!" Wen Fei said irritably. What kind of gun it was didn't matter, as long as it was better than this old junk. The gun he was carrying now made Wen Fei's heart skip a beat with fear that it would suddenly misfire and shoot himself. As soon as he returned to modern times, Wen Fei hastily unloaded the bullets.

  Zhang Yu didn't ask again, he and Wen Fei had grown up together since childhood, they were familiar with each other, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that Wen Fei had made up his mind. Moreover, he didn't plan to explain the reason to him. This was also one of the reasons why the two of them could play so big, although they scolded each other every day, but there was still a sense of propriety between them.

  "Alright, I'll go get it for you tonight!"

  Wen Fei finally let out a sigh of relief, the price of this thing is not expensive. However, the problem is that there is no way to get it, especially for Wen Fei, a good citizen who used to abide by the law, it's really hard to get something like this.

  He then pulled Zhang Yu aside and said: "I want to start a company or something like a factory!"

  Zhang Yu reached out with his hand and touched Wen Fei's forehead, jokingly saying: "You're not feverish and confused, are you?"

  Wen Fei brushed aside Zhang Yu's hand and said, "Cut the crap, I really want to start a company!"

  "So have you thought it through? What kind of company are you going to start?" Zhang Yu asked, looking at Wen Fei's serious expression.

  "Didn't you think this through?" Wen Fei's face turned slightly red.

  "What's the point of starting a company then? Aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?" Zhang Yu said.

  Wen Fei wanted to start a company, it's not just an idea anymore. He had thought about it for a long time, but didn't know what kind of company or factory to open. Actually, it doesn't matter what he opens, the most important thing is that it can cover up his smuggling activities, this is the top priority!

  He once asked his own mother about opening a wool textile factory, but the result seemed not very optimistic. With him being an outsider entering the industry, it would definitely end in failure. The market conditions of that industry change too much. Even if Wen Fei has a very cheap source of wool, the risk is still extremely high.

  On the contrary, cow and sheep skin are very useful, whether it's for making clothes, shoes, belts or handbags, they all have many uses!

  Wen Fei had been talking for half a day when Zhang Yu suddenly interrupted, "I heard that one of your relatives is in the leather tanning business and makes quite a bit of money?"

  Wen Fei has a relative like that, but he's just a distant uncle who can't be reached. It's only during the New Year that I heard their line of work is quite profitable... and dangerous!

  Talking about making money, doing this job for a month can earn enough to buy a car, of course not a good one. At most it's just an Alto or something like that, but earning enough in a month to buy an Alto is already quite impressive. The danger lies in the fact that people in this line of work cause too much environmental pollution, and their bosses don't want to spend money building factories or setting up environmental protection facilities. Instead, they hide in some poor and remote mountainous areas. They do it for a while and then move to another place, often staying in one place for only half a year or a few months before hastily relocating. If they stay too long, they'll get reported by someone or caught by the environmental protection agency, and that would be disastrous!
