At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Huang An returned to the house with the cash, and then made a video call with his father.
On the one hand, it is the normal care between relatives, on the other hand, it is also to ask my father if he knows anyone who sells silver.
His complexion has recovered a little now, and under the dim light, he doesn't have to worry about his parents seeing his poor physical condition.
The father didn't ask much. Huang An had always been well-behaved. He thought his son wanted to buy some silver for fun, so he asked his wife to chat with Huang An while he walked aside to ask his friends for their phone number.
Not long after, a new phone number appeared on Huang An's WeChat chat page.
The acquaintance's business is so easy to do, Huang An spent all the 400,000 yuan he got today at a price of 3.8 yuan per gram.
According to the agreement between the two parties, before noon tomorrow, 263 kilograms, or 526 kilograms, of silver ingots with a fineness of 80% will be delivered to Huang An's yard.
The two parties made a cash transaction on the spot, and Huang An didn't ask for any deposit or anything like that.
Silver is indeed cheap in his hometown. Huang An took advantage of the depreciation of silver caused by the high industrialization capacity of his hometown and exchanged five jade thumb rings from Feng'an City of the Ming Dynasty for 5,260 taels of silver.
The combined price of those five jade thumb rings in Feng'an County of the Ming Dynasty was less than thirty taels.
This is a hundred times profit, an absolute huge profit.
If he hadn't been terminally ill, Huang Anguang would have been able to obtain wealth unimaginable by ordinary people just by virtue of his status as a villain in the two worlds.
According to Huang An's instructions, these more than 5,200 taels of silver need to be aged.
This means that Huang An can go to Feng'an City to spend money with it tomorrow.
As for bringing all this money to Feng'an City, Huang An never thought about it. He would just bring the corresponding silver there when there is a need.
Usually it is placed under the bed in the bedroom.
As for the inflation and devaluation of silver that caused Feng'an City or the Ming Dynasty, this is not something Huang An should consider.
Moreover, let alone more than five thousand taels of silver, even if it were exchanged for ten or a hundred times gold, it would be difficult to cause inflation in the Ming Dynasty.
Huang An slept at home tonight and ate a lot of cooked food. Before ten o'clock the next morning, the money was delivered to the venue.
Huang An didn't ask his employees to help. He and the driver moved the money into the house in a few moments. The account was settled on the spot and a receipt was issued. After that, the driver left.
More than five thousand taels of silver were piled under the bed.
It is no exaggeration to say that Huang An could use this money to buy the entire Zhao Family Martial Arts School, including the people and the land, except for the master.
And the price is only five jade finger rings.
This was a huge fortune, so much so that the breathing method of the five internal organs stopped unconsciously. Huang An stabilized his mind, took a hundred taels of silver, and went directly to the Wanjie Garbage Dump to do his job.
So far, Huang An has drank three bowls of Guiyuan Decoction. His body is in good condition, and his strength and energy are almost 60% of those of a normal healthy adult.
Huang An has a feeling that if he can continue to drink Guiyuan Decoction at the current frequency, his lifespan may be similar to that of normal people.
Of course, this is the best and most ideal state.
After all, Guiyuan Decoction is a kind of medicine in the final analysis. Drinking too much will definitely lead to drug resistance and the effect will be greatly reduced.
However, with the stabilization of his physical condition and the relief of pain, Huang An's face has gradually changed from the ferocious look before to one that he can still stare at over the past month and a half.
The human body’s ability to repair itself is truly amazing.
His appearance is unattractive, which describes the current Huang An. He is not even ordinary.
However, the appearance is just skin, and Huang An doesn't care too much about it.
After cleaning up the garbage for five hours, he returned to the yard in the east of Feng'an City with his silver and dagger.
At this time, the time has reached four o'clock in the afternoon, and the official martial arts training will be tomorrow. Huang An has completely integrated into Feng'an County.
Huang An was worried about whether anything happened today when the master went to the city lord's mansion for a banquet. However, it was not easy to go directly to the martial arts hall to find out.
Fortunately, I took five taels of silver and some copper coins, hid the dagger in my arms, then walked out of the courtyard and went for a walk in the city.
Huang An felt relieved because he didn't hear any news about major events in the city.
I ordered a pair of clothes that fit me well and agreed to pick them up in a few days.
I went to the grain store again to explore the basic information about the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time bought some grains to hide my secrets, such as rice noodles, corn paste, etc.
The food situation in the Ming Dynasty still surprised Huang An.
The types are quite varied, including wheat, sorghum, buckwheat and other grains, and even corn and sweet potatoes.
The food crops that Huang An could find in his hometown, Yingshi, are all sold here.
However, looking at the grains, Huang An could still see that the agriculture of the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to that of his hometown.
After asking a few insidious questions, Huang An already had an idea.
The Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to the problem of crop seed optimization. Their seed yield was very low, which was similar to the crop yield in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties under Huang An's influence.
The average yield of modern seeds is five times its yield.
Huang An walked, looked, and bought, and before he knew it, he came around the wall of a courtyard.
Walking around the courtyard wall, Huang An soon came to an unexpected place, a main entrance similar to the Zhao family martial arts gym.
This is actually the Yang Family Martial Arts School!
Huang An was surprised. After a few quick glances, he pretended to be a wanderer shopping and walked past the main entrance of the martial arts gym.
Only now did he know that two streets across from his courtyard was the Yang Family Martial Arts Gym.
The martial arts school that once led people to beat two senior sisters and fellow seniors.
It's just that this martial arts gym covers a large area, and his yard is on the side of the martial arts gym, almost in the middle.
Knowing that the place where he lived was next to the Yang Family Martial Arts School, Huang An no longer had any intention of wandering around anymore and went directly back to the courtyard.
After blocking the courtyard door and entering the house, Huang An breathed a sigh of relief.
Senior Sister Zhao once accidentally mentioned that there are four major forces in Feng'an City, including the Zhao Family Martial Arts School.
One of them is the Yang Family Martial Arts School in the east of the city, and the relationship between the two parties is very bad. The last time the young city master of the Li family came to the door with someone and injured the pretty faces of the two senior sisters, the Yang Family Martial Arts Academy was involved.
Although Huang An knew that he was just an ant and would probably not be able to get into the eyes of the Yang Family Martial Arts School, he was afraid of what might happen.
Any small friction between the two behemoths can crush a little ant like myself.
He doesn't want to be tainted by these rights and wrongs.
Huang An sat on the wooden stool in front of the table, the oil lamp flickering, the weak fire light flickering on and off, illuminating his eyes with uncertainty, as if hesitating.
"If I look for another place and buy a new courtyard, will my secret be exposed faster? Moreover, the martial arts hall has made too many enemies. There are enemies in the east, north and south of the city. It is impossible for me to buy a courtyard in the martial arts hall.
The location in the east of the city makes it even more impossible to live directly in a martial arts gym..."
Huang An hesitated. His secret must not be exposed, otherwise he would die without a burial place.
I must not live too close to the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, otherwise what will happen if my brothers and sisters accidentally discover my secret while playing Qiufeng?
"I can only live here for the time being. However, I must maintain a low profile and cannot even tell anyone about my identity as a disciple of the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall. In the future, when I go to the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall to practice martial arts, I will go directly through the side door to reduce the probability of being recognized.
It’s also possible.”
With the decision made in his mind, Huang An concentrated on familiarizing himself with the breathing method of the five internal organs.
Huang An has now begun to feel the magic of this breathing method. Due to his weak body, his senses are more sensitive than ordinary people.
As his proficiency in the five-organ breathing method increased, Huang An could feel that his breathing was smoother than half a month ago, and his breathing frequency was also slightly lower.
And there is another point that Huang An has not ignored, that is, in the past few days, he can feel that his body's internal state has recovered faster.
When he was cleaning up garbage at the Wanjie Garbage Dump these past two days, he could feel that the time it took him to recover his physical strength had been significantly shortened.
Of course, these are just Huang An's guesses, it may also be the effect of Guiyuan Tang, or even the psychological effect.
However, I have to say that Huang An has been in better and better condition these past few days. He is eating, drinking, sleeping, and is in better condition than before.
In the early morning, Huang An was already asleep.
"Da da da!"
"Tap tap tap!"
A burst of chaotic footsteps echoed in the alley outside the courtyard. Huang An was sleeping so deeply that he didn't hear it.
About two minutes later, bursts of shrill shouts rang out.
"It's gone, it's gone!"
The sound was so loud that it could be heard far away in the silent autumn night.
Huang An woke up suddenly and just heard the shouts outside the door and the footsteps of people striding past the courtyard.
With surprise in his heart and a solemn look on his face, Huang An stood up and quickly put on his shoes, then put on linen clothes in the dark.
The shouts outside the door were very mixed and there were many voices, but Huang An could still hear clearly the heart-wrenching shouts.
Fire!
The distance should be very close!
Huang An pushed the door open a little, tilted his head, put one eye on the crack of the door and looked out.
Through the gap between the branches of the locust tree outside the house, Huang An saw half of the red sky.
His eyes suddenly widened and he looked surprised. That direction was the Yang Family Martial Arts School!
Fire!
The fire is not small.
While Huang An was thinking about whether to continue pretending to be asleep or to help put out the fire, the footsteps in front and behind the yard became more and more complicated.
"Dad, dad!"
"Baby, hold the baby well, I'll put out the fire, put out the fire!"
"If something goes wrong, run away. Run to the river. I'll find you later."
It was the voice of a neighbor's family. This area was relatively quiet, but there were still five or six families living there. Huang An could hear the voice clearly.
Huang An was still hesitating, but the surrounding neighbors had already passed by. They called to the men at home and said they were going to put out the fire.
Suddenly.
"Bang, bang!"
Huang An's heart skipped a beat when the courtyard door was banged. Before he could answer, the voices of his neighbors Lao Wu and Wang San came again.
"No one is there, don't sleep. There's a fire in the martial arts studio. There's a fire. Go and put out the fire."
"When the fire burns here, we are all finished. It's finished, don't sleep!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they banged the door a few more times before reluctantly preparing to run away.
Huang An's heart suddenly moved. He quickly opened the door and shouted in a panic tone:
"Come on, come on, you go first! I'll put on some pants and come!"
