The Nexus of Time and Space in Marvel

Chapter 81 Entering Jotunheim for the first time

Because of time constraints, they didn't go to Yang Rong's brother in the end. Three days later, the two came to the county again.

Before coming here, Wang Fang counted his own silver, and there was not much left. In desperation, he could only secretly take out ten taels of silver from his mother's money pot. Fortunately, his mother came back every half a month, and fortunately, she would not check it in leisure time. money pot.

What's more, most of the money in this money jar was earned because of his secret ear mushroom recipe, so Wang Fang used it with peace of mind.

But I really didn’t expect that my mother actually saved more than fifty taels of silver. The copper coins and silver nuggets were mixed together and filled two money jars. One of them was still hidden under the bluestone of the latrine. If it weren’t for her biological son, no one would No one can find where the money jar is stored.

Wang Fang took out ten taels of silver from the money jar with peace of mind and carefully put the money jar away. Wang Fang made up his mind that one day, sooner or later, he would fill these two money jars and exchange them all for gold.

Because I had to meet Yang Rong's brother, I got up very early today.

This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Looking at it now, he is already an adult. If it weren't for the accident in his family, he might have been married. Coupled with his years of studying experience, he looks quite bookish.

After the four of them had a simple meal, they left separately. Wang Fang took Yang Rong and his second brother and walked towards the Guandi Temple.

There were already more than fifty beggars waiting in the temple, and more than ten strong men ran to the king first, vying for money.

Without refusing, after smilingly handing out ten taels of silver, Wang Fang did not leave, wandered around outside Guandi Temple for a quarter of an hour, and returned to Guandi Temple again.

"Why are you back again? Do you want to pray to Emperor Guan for blessing?"

"Don't talk nonsense. When I am in trouble, I hate praying to God and worshiping Buddha the most."

While speaking, Wang Fang sat down respectfully in front of the statue of Guan Di Ye, pointing in the direction outside and said: "None of the twenty guys who just received the money can believe that Ba CD is the backbone behind the beggar organization. "

After finishing speaking, he paused and saw someone coming in from outside the door. Wang Fang said with a smile: "The person who comes now is the right candidate."

Half a tael of silver is considered a huge amount of wealth. The main purpose is to attract the attention of the organization behind the beggar. There is no thought of using this half a tael of silver to select people.

As for Shi Wen Dazi, when beggars are enough to beg, help Wang Fang pay attention to the candidates on the portrait. If there are more, then it is not an exchange of equal value, but a simple purchase.

Only those who don't care about the half a tael of silver behind, just take ten coppers, and still want to help Wang Fang find someone, are the ones who are responsible and grateful.

This is a simple trick, and it is also an important way for some companies to select employees in the previous life. When the bosses of many companies are interviewing, they like to tell the employees more or less that they have little chance of becoming a full-time employee. It is just that the company is short of manpower. They're just called in to help.

If the applicant really gives up on himself and mixes his salary, such a person will naturally not be hired, and when a person knows that he will not become a regular, but still does his best, such a person will be reused.

As for the beggar right now, I have already shown my kindness, no matter whether there is any money behind, as long as he still maintains a grateful heart, he will never ignore the ten-sentence he sent before, and the portrait he chose is also the same. It is not that simple, and it also has the effect of examining whether the candidates are serious.

A thin boy with obviously broken legs limped in and said to Wang Fang: "What they said just now is wrong. The person in your portrait is not Aunt Cai. It should be Aunt Li. Cai." There are no moles under Auntie’s neck, only Auntie Li has moles under her neck.”

Smiling and looking at the other party for a few times, the young man in front of him had no intention of asking for money, and after cupping his hands, he said goodbye and left.

The observation skills are good and the courage is good. The important thing is to have a sense of gratitude and responsibility.

After passing one level, several people came one after another, some of them simply wanted to get money, and some of them really saw the difference in the portraits.

After careful consideration, he finally selected three people. He pointed at the people who had just left and said to Yang Rong: "Those people just now, do you remember their appearance?"

Yang Rong nodded vigorously, and turned to Wang Fang with disdain: "You are really treacherous."

"It's not treachery, it's just an exam."

Shaking his head, he led Yang Rong away from the Guandi Temple. It was almost afternoon and it was time to go home.

Next, I went to the county town twice, using different portraits, and finally selected nine people. I asked Yang Rong's brother to find the places where these nine people often begged, and observed them in detail, and finally decided.

One month later, at the beginning of spring, Erbo and He Yongding, who had been busy in the world, finally came back.

"The tiger was sold for a total of 340 taels of silver, of which the tiger skin was sold for only 200 taels. The fur shopkeeper in Jinling City said that a complete tiger skin can be sold for at least a thousand taels, but it is not available for other people. I raised the price, and after waiting for two more days, it was about to rot, so I had no choice but to sell it cheaply.”

The second uncle talked to Wang Fang for a long time with a face of shame, as if he was extremely heartbroken about his low price.

Wang Fang shook his head, too lazy to say anything else. Such a complete product cannot be sold for only two hundred taels. It is estimated that the owner of the leather goods shop has already discussed it with nearby merchants. No one can pay a high price and wait for the tiger skin to rot. .

For farmers who have no connections, even if they know that the tiger skins in their hands can be sold at a high price, they cannot find a suitable shipping channel. They can only dispose of the tiger skins as soon as possible before they rot.

I don't blame my second uncle or He Yongding for such a thing. I can only say that I was too eager and didn't have the means to control it.

"Ignore the tiger skin thing for now, where is the product I want?"

The tiger skin is just a trivial matter, and only the sweet potato is the key. Hearing Wang Fang's question, the second uncle said excitedly: "I bought it all, a total of catties. No one knows this thing, and the price is still high. Except for some In addition to the children of rich families who will try something new, no one in the nearby farms will buy it."

"Five cents per catty, which is about the same as the price of coarse grains. It cost a total of ninety taels of silver. The seller gave a discount."

The price is not bad, after all, it is impossible for the seaborne merchants to lose too much, and the ordinary people don't know the output of this thing, otherwise they will rush to buy it.

Hearing that his second uncle didn't say how to deal with it, Wang Fang said eagerly: "How much will be brought back?"

"A total of 20,000 jins, 12,000 jins were transported back, 6,000 jins were destroyed on the spot, and another 2,000 jins were damaged on the road."

While talking, a silver bag was handed to Wang Fang, which contained several banknotes and several large silver ingots.

After a simple glance, Wang Fang frowned and said, "Why is there so much missing?"

"Forty taels of it were the cost of hiring an oxcart, as well as the cost of the canal boat, and the remaining 40 taels were the money to buy clothes. The boss gave me a small change and saved five taels."

"How many clothes did you buy? Why are they so expensive?"

The veins on his forehead were throbbing violently, and there was a vague sense of foreboding.

"I didn't buy much, there are two pieces in total."

While talking, the second uncle went to get the package from the car and said, "These clothes are really beautiful. One piece is twenty taels, the other is twenty-five taels, and the two pieces cost forty taels in total."

Taking the package from his second uncle's hand, Wang Fang had the urge to vomit blood. He exchanged a total of forty taels, nearly five kilograms, equivalent to five years of living expenses for an ordinary farmer, for these two light clothes.

Shaking off his clothes and taking a look, he didn't care to appreciate the splendor inside. The second uncle on the side was still sighing: "Yunfangxuan's ready-made clothes are beautiful. These two pieces are the cheapest. Among them is a brocade and auspicious piece worn by scholars. The shirt was priced at six hundred taels, which almost scared me to death."

"Haha, yes, I was almost scared to death. I bought these two pieces of crap for only forty taels. They are not as good-looking as the coats with cartoon patterns printed on them in later generations."

He muttered a few words through gritted teeth, his heart filled with hatred for Mannia.

The goods were purchased and transported directly to the mountains. Some supplies were also transported in. Next, it was time to take action. See more Weixin official account: hhxs665
