Chapter 42 Trade Journey
"trade?"

Chen Erlong scratched his head in confusion, but Lin Hai's eyes lit up.

"Yes, deal."

Lin Guiyao pointed to the pile of pine cones piled up in the house, and there were 40 potatoes and continued,
"The tools in the village are really lacking. You need hoes to dig the ground, buckets to draw water, axes to chop trees, saws, hammers, nails, etc. to repair houses, and even toilet paper..."

Thinking of toilet paper, Lin Guiyao's face became ugly. As a modern person, it is a huge torture to have no paper when pooping. If there are not so many people in the village and he can still use well water to wash it, he would have died a long time ago. crazy.

It’s just that Lin Hai also said that paper is too rare. It seems that only big towns have this thing, and it’s not cheap, so Lin Guiyao is just talking. He has to settle for food and clothing before he can pursue life. quality.

"It's best to get some more rope back. That thing is very useful, and you can get weapons if you can get them. If you can't get them, forget them. You will take all the guns away later. Ensuring your own safety is the most important thing."

"Village chief, won't you come with us?"

Seeing Lin Guiyao talking a lot, Chen Elong finally understood what he said.

"Well, Lin Hai will lead the team this time, plus Mr. Xu and the others, so you should be able to carry a little more things. You, the evil dragon, are mainly responsible for protecting their safety.
As for me, I have to take care of the potatoes in the village, and . . . "

Lin Guiyao took out the hoe and turned it in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'd like to keep meeting the truffle pigs and see if I can add another dish to our menu."

Truffle pigs were discovered suddenly when they were picking up pine cones in the back mountain forest.

Those guys look a bit like wild boars, they are round in shape and pink all over. They look silly and cute, but in fact, they are a group of very dangerous animals.

They never stand alone, they all act in groups. There are often more than a hundred of them in a group, and their temperament is extremely violent!
If Lin Guiyao hadn't been in the woods that time and released Ga Bang to kill a truffle pig on the spot, thereby scaring off the pigs, the villagers might have turned into minced meat.

Lin Guiyao still remembers the overwhelming, avalanche-like impact, and the thump-dong-dong earthquake-like vibration.

No wonder the back mountain looks so empty. With pine nuts as a high-energy food, the pot stickers can resist not to develop, and finally fell to the end of going to a small camp to be a hooligan.

It seems that it is all because of this group of beasts.

Afterwards, Lin Guiyao analyzed the truffle pig that was beheaded by Ga Bang. He found that the skin of this pig was so tough that a rifle could not even penetrate it. Naturally, the unarmed villagers had no choice but to retreat. .

But fortunately, they were also extremely courageous. When they rushed over, they were overwhelmed, and when they saw their teammates died, they ran away very quickly, so Lin Guiyao and the others were able to save their lives.

Since then, the back mountain has become a forbidden area. Unless Lin Guiyao and Ga Beng are present, no one can go in to collect pine cones. For safety, he even transplanted potatoes back to the platform.

However, the taste of the pork was unusually delicious and mellow. Lin Guiyao remembered that when the whole village had pork meat that day, everyone's faces were covered with oil stains of happiness, and he couldn't help but licked his lips reminiscently.

Grilled pork chops, fried pork heart, fried pork liver, roasted pork hind legs, and pig blood soup. Although the ingredients are scarce, the taste of truffle pig is not fishy at all, but exudes a strange taste, a bit like The faint smell of gas, on the contrary, stimulates the taste buds even more.

So even if it wasn't for the sake of eliminating safety hazards, he would have to meet up with the group of pink piggies for a while.

"Understood, then village chief, you should also be careful, those beasts are being cruel."

"Well, evil dragon, let them prepare for it later, and set off tomorrow, Lin Hai, you stay here first, I still have something to tell you."

"Okay."

Seeing Chen Elong closing the door and retreating out, Lin Guiyao looked at Lin Hai.

"Let's talk, the village chief wants me to help you get something, but let me tell you in advance that the funds must be sufficient..."

Lin Hai rubbed it with his fingers, referring to the gleaming gold G coin in Lin Guiyao's hand.

"Well, this time I'll give you 50 gold coins as an emergency fund, but I have one condition, don't let anyone catch you!"

For the next planting plan, this pile of potatoes cannot be sold for the time being, so the only items to be traded this time are pine cones.

In order to prevent the value of the pine cone from being too low and not being able to exchange it for anything, Lin Guiyao planned to give Lin Hai some G coins as a supplement, even if he had to take some risks.

However, he believed that Lin Hai was a shrewd businessman and would handle this problem properly.

Lin Hai nodded, "That's natural, I don't want to lose my life for no reason, does the village chief have any other orders?"

"Well, I still have some information, I want you to collect it along the way."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Hai took Chen Elong and three elderly people who were still in good health. Each of them carried a small bag of pine cones, plus three big boxes of water, and embarked on the road to go out to trade.

This trip was led by Lin Hai, and the destination was a small town closest to here. According to him, the law and order there is quite good. The most important thing is that it is also the largest trading center nearby, which can be easily exchanged for various materials and information.

Of course, first of all, you must have sufficient capital, whether it is financial or force.

"I hope that when you come back, there will be none missing."

After the arrangements were made, Lin Guiyao could only sit and wait for the results. If he had his backpack in hand, he would definitely be able to exchange for more supplies for this trip, but potatoes would ripen in seven days, so he had to watch at home.

"Just insert it lightly here, yes, well done."

"Hey, Xiao Guizi, don't use too much force, just a little bit more lightly, that's right, ah, the village chief, are you here?"

In front of a dilapidated house, the ground is covered with all kinds of small wooden parts. Looking at the debris all over the floor, you can tell that they were slowly chipped out with a knife.

An old man stood in the middle, constantly checking the assembly of the parts in the hands of the children, and giving step-by-step guidance from time to time.

He is Lao Huang, the old man who knows some carpentry skills, and now he teaches the skills to the children every day.

"Well, I'm going to the back mountain later, so I stopped by to have a look. What's the matter, is there any difficulty?"

Lao Huang smiled wryly and nodded: "There are too many difficulties. The main reason is that our current tools are too lacking. With only a few machetes, I can't teach children some delicate things."

Lin Guiyao looked at the joints of the parts on the ground, they were indeed rough and varied in size, but he found that the parts in a child's hand were very smooth, as if they had been polished.

"This is……"
