Qiu Laoquan and his son were busy talking, but they didn't notice the slightly troubled look on Su Tong's side.
Although Su Tong has frequently traveled between the two time and spaces, because he is in a dense forest, it is too dangerous to spend the night in the forest. For safety reasons, he never spends the night in this time and space, and always returns directly to the earth.
I slept until dawn and continued on my way across the country. Is it now finally time to spend the night here?
He wanted to be separated from Qiu Laoquan's family temporarily, but he gave up the idea as soon as it appeared. Qiu Laoquan's family was the first family he came into contact with in this world. Looking at each other from the situation just now
He doesn't look like a bad person with malicious intentions. If he separates from them now, it will not only make the other party suspicious, but also destroy the friendship he has established with them today. It is really not worth the loss, so he just thought about it briefly and decided to stay.
Go with Qiu Laoquan and his family.
It was still early, Qiu Dezhu quickly cooked dinner and brought it over. Su Tong took a look and found that their staple food was similar to that of the earth. It was also a food very similar to rice. It was white in color and tasted like cereals.
The plants had the unique aroma, and the dishes were some unknown plants and a few pieces of meat. After taking a few bites, Su Tong couldn't help but give Qiu Dezhu a thumbs up and praised: "The girl's craftsmanship is very good!"
Qiu Dezhu pursed his lips and smiled shyly: "This big brother has given me a compliment. I don't dare to praise you with my humble life."
Only Qiu Dezhu muttered at the side: "It's not that good, it's not the original taste."
Qiu Dequan didn't talk when he was eating. He just dug his head into the bowl of rice. He finished three large bowls of rice in a short time. Even Qiu Dezhu couldn't catch up with this amount of food. Su Tong almost looked at him. This was simply a waste of rice.
Alive.
Seeing Su Tong's surprised expression, Qiu Dezhu said with some pride: "Brother Su, don't be surprised. My father is a serious martial artist. He also served as a centurion in the Yan Kingdom's border army in the past, so his appetite is naturally larger than usual.
People are older."
Qiu Laoquan couldn't see his son's proud look, and said lightly: "With this time to show off, it's better to work harder and be promoted to martial arts as soon as possible, so that you can find a job to make a living after entering the city. Otherwise, you will
My sister is promoted to martial arts master first, so I want to see if you blush or not?"
"Well!"
Qiu Dezhu suddenly became mute and just lowered his head to eat.
Qiu Dezhu said from the side: "Dad, brother has also worked very hard. When we enter the city this time, if we can buy a bottle of body-building pill for him to take, he will be promoted to a martial arts master in a few months.
.”
"Sister, what are you talking about? If our family could afford the body-building pill, my father would not have fallen from an intermediate martial artist to a junior martial artist..."
"you shut up."
Before Qiu Dezhu finished speaking, he was stopped by Qiu Laoquan.
Hearing this, Su Tong seemed to understand something, and he was a little more curious about Qiu Laoquan, a middle-aged man who looked dull. It seemed that this old man was also a man with stories.
I don't know why, but after eating a bowl of rice and a few pieces of meat, Su Tong felt warm and energetic. He felt the changes in his body carefully and did not dare to ask any more questions. The knowledge quickly overwhelmed him.
After finishing the bowl of rice, he wiped the corner of his mouth and then asked: "Uncle Qiu, can you show me the money you received from selling the land today."
"What's wrong with this?" Qiu Laoquan didn't doubt his presence. Su Tong had just told him that he came out of the jungle and didn't know much about things outside. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to ignore the Great Yan Kingdom.
knew.
He casually took out an ingot of gold he received today and some scattered coins from his body and handed them to him, "Here, the money we Dayan uses is one hundred coins, and ten coins is one plant. This piece of gold is
One plant. This one with a slight cyan color is worth one penny, and this black one is worth one penny."
Su Tong took these coins and observed them carefully. Based on his experience of panning for gold these days, he was sure that this was an ingot of gold. Judging from what he observed today, gold is the main currency used in the world.
Those coins called Qian and Wen are coins made of bronze and iron respectively. It can be seen that the casting technology of these coins is not high, they are slightly rough, and they feel a little burr to the touch.
After returning the money to Qiu Laoquan, Su Tong asked curiously: "Uncle, don't you use silver here?"
Qiu Laoquan asked in confusion: "What is silver?"
That's it. Su Tong then pulled out a silver necklace from his neck, with a jade Guanyin cast on it. This necklace was originally given to his girlfriend by Su Tong when he was in college with money from his work-study program. When they were about to graduate, they broke up.
His girlfriend returned the necklace to him, but Su Tong didn't want to give it back, so he put it on himself, and now he just took it out to show Qiu Laoquan.
But when Su Tong took out the necklace, Mr. Qiu's face changed and he snatched it away. He stared at it for a long time with his eyes wide open before spitting out two words: "Mithril!"
Qiu Laoquan looked at it for a while, and then asked solemnly: "Brother, where did this thing come from?"
Su Tong was startled: "Of course...it's passed down from my family's ancestors. What's wrong?"
Qiu Laoquan returned the necklace to Su Tong, and then solemnly said: "Brother, this thing is extremely precious. I hope you will not show it to others easily in the future, otherwise you may be killed."
"I...as for what?"
Su Tong couldn't laugh or cry. The best quality silver used to make jewelry now costs less than five yuan per gram. Even one ton only costs more than four million yuan. If it is industrial silver, it will be even cheaper. How did it end up here?
Is there a risk of death?
Seeing Su Tong's disapproval, Qiu Laoquan warned him again: "Brother, don't think I'm joking. You may not know that mithril is something controlled by the imperial court. Ordinary people are not allowed to keep it privately. Once discovered, they must report it to the police."
Hand it over to the government, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."
"Is it really so serious?" Seeing Qiu Laoquan's two warnings in a row, Su Tong had to pay attention, "Uncle Qiu, this money..."
"It's mithril." Qiu Laoquan corrected.
Su Tong said helplessly: "Okay, what is the use of this mithril, and is it worthy of the government's attention?"
"This old man doesn't know either. I just heard that it has something to do with immortals." Qiu Laoquan didn't know very well and could only say something vague.
"Immortal?"
This time it was Su Tong's turn to be startled and asked stammeringly: "Uncle...are there really immortals in this world?"
"This... I don't know either." Qiu Laoquan shook his head, and then laughed at himself: "After all, immortals are just legendary figures. How can I, a lame old man, see this?"
