Chapter Fourteen I'm Stimulated
Having not eaten for a day and having a lot of energy, Li Luo was so hungry that he was dizzy and felt even colder.
Wheat, boiling water. What Li Luo wants most now.
Li Luo returned to the wasteland courtyard and happened to see Cui Xiuning's retracted face leaning against the door.
When he entered the house and saw the fire, Cui Xiuning, and even the female fox who was reluctant to leave, Li Luo suddenly felt strong.
"Why did you go for a day?" Cui Xiuning's face was faint. Although she rejected and even hated Li Luo, the worries she had at the end of the day were also true. After all, Li Luo was her only dependence now.
Li Luo did not answer. He immediately took out the straight knife from his big jacket, which scared the female fox to stand up and want to escape. But when he saw Li Luo burying the knife under the wall and hiding it, he felt relieved to lie down and yawn.
Cui Xiuning didn't ask where the knife came from, she knew Li Luo would definitely say it.
"Where is wheat? Is there water?" Li Luo sat down with his knife and pointed at his stomach, "This is too uncomfortable."
Of course, Cui Xiuning had prepared a portion of wheat and the water was ready. But she saw Li Luo swallowing a handful of wheat randomly and choking when drinking water.
Soon, Li Luo licked the last few grains of wheat, but looked a little dazed, "I'll do it again?"
Cui Xiuning obviously hesitated for a moment. However, her hand still reached into the bag beside her and slowly grabbed a handful of wheat. The bag was almost completely deflated.
Li Luo took two gulps and swallowed them, and drank a bamboo tube of hot water, which made him feel much more comfortable.
"Li Luo, I want to apologize to you." Cui Xiuning's voice was obviously a little weak.
"The police apologize to the fugitive, rare. Why do you apologize?"
"Mizi's affairs, wheat..."
"You gave wheat to the fox, did you?"
"How do you know?"
"Simple. I think it's better now than in the morning, so it should be eating."
"I can't stand her being pregnant with a cub."
"Okay. How much did it eat?"
"It's about half a liter, I didn't expect it to eat wheat."
"It's not surprising that canines eat wheat. How much wheat do we have? I think the bag is already deflated."
"A total of three liters of wheat. We ate one liter yesterday, and today you spent half a liter with bait. You came back and ate most of the liters, I ate half a liter, and fox ate half a liter. That's... there's no more wheat."
"It's just that the food has been cut off."
Cui Xiuning picked up the deflated bag and opened it to see, "There is still a small handful of wheat grains, enough to eat a bite."
Her beautiful eyebrows frowned, "Even if you don't give the fox that half a liter, it doesn't make any sense. What to do tomorrow?" Cui Xiuning was really panicked. After thinking about it for a day today, she didn't come up with the idea of having money and food immediately. They were all slow ideas that could not be solved by far and water.
Li Luo was not panicked because he had the spoils: four large copper coins.
"Let's take one step at a time, don't worry, you won't really starve to death." Li Luo said. He had a clear idea.
"Fugitive, why don't we go and see Dad Yan Duo tomorrow?"
"Police, don't think about it, he probably has no meat in his house."
"Will you get the bow and card you put down tomorrow?"
"No. There was a lot of trouble today, and the prey can't be dropped again."
"I knew you did a lot of things today. Tell me."
Li Luo stood up, walked out of the door to see if there was anyone outside, and came back.
Then Li Luo said what happened today in full, Cui Xiuning didn't interrupt, just listened quietly. Even the fox seemed to be listening quietly.
Cui Xiuning was really worried, "No wonder your clothes were torn like this. In other words, you were humiliated and took a risk today, and killed another person."
"I was stimulated. I must be an official and have authority."
"You killed someone, don't leave any psychological sequelae."
"It's okay, the second kill."
"This soldier Cao must have killed someone. You kill him for self-defense. It's a pity that you are cunning, otherwise you will die."
"What would you do if I died?"
"What can I do? Do you still have to avenge you? Of course, you can live if you can, and you can die if you can't live."
"Okay, you're awesome. Unfortunately, that dog can't be picked up these days, so the Liu family must have sealed that place."
"Didn't you say you got four big copper coins from Chief Cao?" Cui Xiuning was the one who was most concerned about the most.
Li Luo took out four large copper coins and was immediately taken over by Cui Xiuning.
"Chunyou is treasured, and the eastern country is worth hundreds." Cui Xiuning recited the above words, "One is worth one hundred words?"
Li Luo said: "It is the case in theory, but it is not clear whether one can be exchanged for one hundred ci. Chunyou Chongbao was issued as a 100-yuan copper coins in the Southern Song Dynasty, but they can only be exchanged for thirty or fifty ci."
"One coin can only be exchanged for thirty or fifty cents? How much does that cost?" Cui Xiuning didn't understand this.
Li Luo shook his head, "That may not be." He took a big coin. "Although the word on it is Chunyou Chongbao, it is actually not the money from the Southern Song Dynasty, but the Southern Song copper coins imitated by Goryeo. The money circulated in Goryeo is very diverse, including those that are cast by themselves, as well as those from the Tang, Song, Liao and Jin, Bohai, and Yuan dynasties. And those that imitate the Central Plains."
Cui Xiuning was a little disappointed: "Since it was imitated, it should be better than the real treasure of Chunyou of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is estimated that it cannot even be exchanged for thirty or fifty cents. These four big coins may be worth 180 cents."
Li Luo smiled, "You don't understand. The Koreans are a little stubborn, but the imitation is better, and the copper content is higher. This money is obviously better than the real Chunyou Chongbao of the Southern Song Dynasty, and there is no stock discovery in later generations."
Cui Xiuning's eyes lit up, "That means it's more valuable, I don't know how much food I can exchange for."
"Tomorrow I will go to Lao Song's shop to see how much food I can buy."
"Yes. I feel panicked without food."
"This little money can only solve temporary food rations. You still have to find a way to make a lot of money."
"The original capital is selling belts, but this one is not too anxious. Let me tell you what you plan."
"Actually, I want to do my old business, stealing tombs, robbing antiques, etc. But tomb robbing is now a death sentence. Once you are caught and beheaded, it is still easy to cut Lingchi in half. Moreover, the things in the tombs were not very valuable in ancient times and were difficult to cash in, so I don't want to take this big risk."
"Hmph, just know. Also, don't think about the archaeological achievements of later generations in China."
"What about Temujin? I heard that the butcher was buried with the golden sea."
"Hmph, don't think I know nothing about history. Genghis Khan's tomb has never been found, just you?"
"What if I find it?"
"If you find it, I can ignore it."
"Okay, serious. I have been thinking about making soap, burning glass, making perfume, and making sugar. I don't know all these inventions. It may be simple, but I don't know the tricks and steps at all. You have received higher education, do you know these?"
"The police academy is not a science and engineering department. How do I know how to burn glass and how to make soap? Do those time travelers in the novels all study chemistry?"
"How to do gunpowder, should you detectives?"
"I know the specific formula for this. Because many violent criminal gangs in society will make their own gunpowder and hunting rifles, which brings great social risks and are resolutely investigating and punishing controlled dangerous goods. Therefore, the police academy has relevant teaching content to let us know."
"We definitely have no choice but to do with yellow gunpowder. How far can you understand black gunpowder?"
"Knowing the modern method of making black gunpowder may be able to make black gunpowder from the late nineteenth century. The problem is that gunpowder has been invented now, what is the point of making it? Weapons of rebellion?"
"A private soldier can suppress me, so what can I do to rebel? Just think about it. It's just for the sake of making money."
"Gunpowder is not suitable for making money, and the risk is too great. But I know how to raise pearls. My uncle raises pearls. I used to help him during the summer vacation. Unfortunately, although this method can make a lot of money, it is too slow to take effect."
"My adoptive father is a bone-burning porcelain. When I was a child, I was exploited as a child laborer and knew the entire firing method. This can also be a big deal, and it works quickly. It doesn't cost much money to build a porcelain kiln. But if you have eggs, we can't do it. You can't do it too much."
"What you mean is that you can only limit the output as much as possible, otherwise you will be disasters and will be robbed?"
"That's certain. What are we? You also know what happened to me today. We are the spouses in the eyes of the powerful and powerful, and we are pigs and dogs. Without the power of identity as a shield, raising pearls and burning bone porcelain is to seek death. They will let us spit out a secret recipe and then silence us."
"You are really excited, I guess you have plans."
"You don't have to think about returning to China for the time being. That's the world of the Mongols. At present, you can only recognize Goryeo, first obtain the recognition of the Li family in Renzhou, and confirm the family's origins, so that you can be qualified to be an official. Let's spend money to obtain information about the Li family in Renzhou, and find information about the children of Li who went to the Central Plains decades ago."
"The next thing is to fish, will the willing one take the bait?"
"The police are wise. They just want to fish. We cook a small amount of bone porcelain and sell it. The words "Renzhou Li Family" are printed on it. Naturally, someone from the Li Family will come to you."
"Next?"
"Let's take a step by step, the plan is not as good as change. This time I was warned that I must find my status, otherwise I would be Tian Nu who was bullied. The Yuan Dynasty will face Japan for the second time after the year. This is a rare opportunity. If I seize this opportunity..."
"I know you are ambitious, restless, and unhonest. Pursuing fame and wealth is a good thing, but you must be a good life as the core. Even if you want to rebel one day, the time must be ripe."
"Okay, I can agree to this."
"Fugitives, we are facing three major problems now. One is food rations, and the four copper coins cannot be eaten for long. Second, we always have a sense of the New Year during the Chinese New Year. Third, the taxes for the usual money will be paid soon. What should I do? You dare not sell the knife and armor you hide."
"Police, why don't we just use the four big copper coins as a means of condom and go to Jianghua Mountain City to sell belts?"
"No. Because we don't have good clothes, we look like beggars when we go to the city. If we want to go to the city, we must first find some money to buy some good clothes."
"Are all women like this?"
"Li Luo, we are so proletarian, but we are selling with a 'bold belt'. What do the people in the city think? According to criminal psychology, it will definitely attract attention, create other people's criminal motives, and lower the threshold for criminal psychology. Maybe they will be arrested as thieves, framed, hacked, and robbed."
"Oh, I forgot this, it's dark under the light."
"Fugitive, I want to buy some furniture and repair the house for the New Year. It's so desolate to live there."
"Police, don't be anxious, take your time, there will be some."
"Also, the firewood is almost finished. Please chop some firewood tomorrow."
"I can't chop wood, I can only buy wood."
"Are you afraid of revealing the stuff?"
"Is this a slightest saying? Even if the children of aristocratic families are poor, they should be incompetent. Many villagers nearby heard that we are aristocratic families, and even if we are poor, they should be different from them."
"You can buy Chai, Mr. Li, anyway, you have four copper coins."
“It won’t cost much.”
“It’s looking at the bag.”
"I still want to eat wheat. Why do I think you were fooled by it?"
