my weird life

Chapter 261 Production of Soul Harvesting Rice (44)

Su Wu casually unscrewed the copper lock, and opened the box, revealing a row of shining silver ingots in the box.

Each silver ingot has one tael,
And there were fifty silver ingots in the box.

The current situation is chaotic, and prices are also skyrocketing.

At this time, the purchasing power of copper coins minted by the Ming Dynasty continued to decline.
But the value of silver and gold has become stronger.

Now the war is fierce and dangerous,

The price of livestock such as mules, horses, donkeys, and cattle that can carry goods has risen.

In the past, a strong mule could be bought for about ten yuan.

Nowadays, it takes [-] taels of money, or even more, to buy a good mule that suits your needs.
Not to mention the price of the horse,

Horses are most needed in war,
At present, there is a shortage of horses everywhere, and some soldiers even use mules and donkeys as horses to drive.
A real horse, even a rough horse, costs forty to fifty cents, and a good horse can be worth hundreds or even hundreds of pennies.

And it's not easy to buy.

but,

If copper coins are exchanged for silver,

Not to mention the price of such large livestock as horses - these are all things with a price but no market.
Like a good mule,
As long as the price is no more than 12 taels of silver, you can buy one!
Su Wu glanced at the 50 taels of silver in the box,

He looked up at Cui Yulan again.

Cui Yulan pursed her lips,
Turning around, he took an earthen pot from the row cart carrying two bedding,
She uncovered the mud seal of the crock, poured all the copper coins inside into a box containing 50 taels of silver,
clap la la,
It is well preserved in the earthen jar, just like newly minted copper coins scattered into the box,

The light of the yellow and white thing dazzles the eyes.

"My family's savings are only this little!" Cui Yulan said very distressed.

Seeing this, Zhaodi on the side,
Suddenly a little embarrassed.

She had no money with her.

But when she saw Zhaodi gave Su Wushao a penny, but she couldn't get any money, she was very embarrassed.

hesitated for a moment,
Zhaodi's sister-in-law took off a copper hairpin from her head,

She also put it in the wooden box, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: "When I am alive, I will earn money, and then I will repay Xiao Lang for saving my life."

"Hey, sister-in-law misunderstood!" Cui Yulan hurriedly said to Zhaodi, "It was originally an agreement between me and him to give him some money, and it has nothing to do with my sister."

With that said, she turned to look at Su Wu,

Su Wu picked up the copper hairpin and handed it back to Zhao Di.

There is only this thing on the woman's body,
However, he couldn't take profit from Cui Yulan like he did to Cui Yulan: "You just keep this hairpin. Cui Yulan gave me money, and it's just as it should be. You two are in different situations, don't bother Take this to heart."

Cui Yulan nodded along,

He secretly felt aggrieved.

Both myself and Zhaodi's sister-in-law were rescued by him, so they could survive.

So where is the situation different?

But then she thought again,

Xiao Lang only took her money,

I didn't accept Zhaodi's little sister-in-law's hairpin,
Doesn't it also mean that I am different from my sister-in-law?
Thinking of this, she secretly laughed again.

Su Wu didn't know how much thought the two women had in these short breaths,
He dragged the wooden box full of treasures, as well as a pile of scrap metal and carts into the shadows,

Said to the two of them: "We need to discuss an explanation,
After going back,

to explain to Master.
Where did these money, swords and weapons come from? "

……

When it was almost dusk,
Su Wu pushed the platoon cart and brought his children back to the stove team from the dirt road in the east.

The iron utensils wrapped in cloth on the row cart,
As the vehicle bumps and bumps, it makes a rattling sound.

The fat old man who was sitting on a bench smoking a cigarette narrowed his eyes when he saw that Su Wu brought the two of them back.

After Su Wu put down the car, he didn't check the contents of the car first,

First, he looked at the two women who followed behind Su Wu and saluted,
On the left is Cui Yulan,

A melon-seeded face, with willow eyebrows, almond eyes and peach cheeks, is a look that men like at first glance, beautiful.

On the right is Zhaodi,
Oval face, big eyes, fair complexion, and handsome!
Li Yueshan opened his mouth, put out the cigarette pot, and when the second daughter was not paying attention, he gave Su Wu a hard look, then pointed at Zhaodi and asked, "Big disciple, what's the matter with this girl? "

"It was rescued from Shilihe Village." Su Wu replied calmly, explaining Zhaodi's origin clearly.

The fat old man observed the changes in the apprentice's expression - he didn't see anything,

But when I heard my apprentice say that Zhaodi's husband's family was killed by bandits,
Tears welled up in Zhaodi's eyes.
The old man suddenly knew that what the apprentice said was true.

"Aren't there any boys or boys in Zhuangzi?" the old man asked casually,
Seeing Zhaodi's expression suddenly became embarrassing,

He hastily changed the subject: "Poor Shilihe Village, it was originally a big village, but it was ruined by a bunch of thieves, I hate these thieves, I hate—"

Speaking of the latter, Li Yueshan sighed.

Thieves are certainly hateful,

But how could these thieves be the most hateful?

If you can eat enough, have something to do, and earn money,

Not those who are inherently vicious,
Who wants to be a bandit that everyone shouts and beats?
"Since the girl happened to be bumped into by my apprentice, and she voted for my stove team, it was a fate.

You and Magnolia,

From now on, they will all be members of my stove team. "As soon as Li Yueshan said this, Zhao Di felt relieved.
She quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yueshan to thank him.

Li Yueshan waved his hand and asked Cui Yulan to pull Zhaodi up,

He turned to look at the contents of the car.

Two quilts—the ones moved from Cui Yulan’s house, they are very clean,

It is possible to replace the bed in the temple which is full of holes and the quilt covered with fleas crawling everywhere.

A bag of things wrapped in rags,

It seems pretty solid.

The fat old man untied the rags,

The iron dung forks, hatchets, iron bars, daggers, maces and other weapons inside were scattered out.

Seeing all these things, the corners of Li Yueshan's mouth twitched, he turned his head and glared at Su Wu again,
I always feel that this big apprentice has done something extraordinary without telling me,

He didn't explode on the spot,
keep looking,

Then I saw a small box the size of a human head.

Once out of the box,
The light of the yellow and white thing fascinated his eyes.

"hiss--"

The fat old man gasped.

"Hey, what's going on here? Where did you get so much money?" It's not that Li Yueshan has never seen so much money, but he has never handled so much money himself.

Seeing the money,

He was shocked at last,
He turned his head and asked Su Wu repeatedly.

"Master, do you believe in retribution?"

Su Wu replied in a serious manner: "A few bandits kidnapped Zhaodi's sister-in-law and wanted to go up the mountain, but I happened to bump into her.
I was furious,
So I took Cui Yulan to chase them.

Followed them all the way up the mountain,

Then it was discovered that the place where the bandits set up their camp seemed to have been attacked by Li Gui.
The thieves of the whole mountain are all dead,
Only those who went up the mountain later remained,

Then……"

After Su Wu discussed with Cui Yulan and Zhao Di,
I think it is not easy to use any reason to coax the elderly,

So I changed things up a bit,

Tell Li Yueshan half truth and half lie.

This statement seems out of place,

But at the moment, it has a very high degree of credibility.

Even if Li Yueshan went to investigate the scene and saw the death of those thieves, he would definitely attribute it to the violent attack!
Su Wu spoke in a serious manner, very serious,

It was he who claimed to be "very angry when he saw Zhao Di was taken away by a robber", which made people hear the drama,

This man seldom smiles from morning till night,
Facial paralysis most of the time,

Can actually be 'angry'?
Also 'very angry'?
This is the most suspicious!
Li Yueshan looked at Su Wu suspiciously,
He went to see the second daughter behind him.

Cui Yulan pursed her lips, and when she saw Li Yueshan's gaze, she nodded quickly: "That's right, what Xiao Lang said is exactly right,
The situation was dire,

Fortunately he picked up a dagger,
Otherwise, it is not certain whether we can kill those thieves! "

Zhaodi also nodded beside her.

This time, Li Yueshan finally believed Su Wu's words, looked at the box of money, and smacked his lips: "I see, do you dare to be so reckless in doing things in the future? You are lucky this time, and you are really asked to make things happen." up,

If you can't do this..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed the wooden box and hugged it in his arms: "These silver coins are placed here with Master.

Leave it for you to marry a wife! "

"I don't need a wife,
Master, it is better to spend your money wisely.

Buy a mule, horse, donkey, etc.

Let's travel all over the world, we can't push a row car around all day long,
How far can that go? "Su Wu hurriedly said.

Li Yueshan thought about it and found it very reasonable,
So he said, "Alright.

The rest of the money will be reserved for you to marry a wife,

How can a good man not become a family?Don't talk to Master anymore! "

"..."

"These irons,
Send it to Blacksmith Zhu in Zhujiazhuang,

Get some good firewood pots and cooking utensils.

For the rest, use a few self-defense weapons. " Li Yueshan arranged in this way,
This is probably the first time he has obtained so many usable things,

Look a little excited,

Even arranging everything has a kind of heroic spirit of "pointing out the country".

Smacking his lips, the fat old man continued, "I've already informed the chief here, and the temple will be officially opened tomorrow!
Hey,
Their age is not good,
I don't know how many kinds of rice can be harvested this time? "

Referring to 'growing rice',
The master was a little worried,
Sitting on a bench holding a box.

"Go to the temple and change the mattresses, and wash the replaced mattresses." Su Wu arranged the work of the second daughter and sent the second daughter away.
He turned to Li Yueshan and asked, "Master, what is rice growing?

Is it the kind of rice that harvests the soul rice?
Or the rice variety of ordinary rice grain? "

"You brought back so much silver,

It's not like we can't afford ordinary rice. "Li Yueshan said with a smile, "Of course the old man is talking about the kind of rice harvested from the soul. "

His expression became serious: "The harvesting of soul rice must be done every time the temple is opened to pretend to be dirty,
The local people throw the rice grain in the rice box to process it.
This kind of rice grain, or planted in the field, grows and harvests more and then processed into harvested soul rice,
Or directly concocted.

All in all, no matter what, the rice grains put into the rice box by the people must be the main material for making soul-shouling rice.

If not,

Even with the best rice,

Don't even think about making a soul harvesting rice! "
