Chapter 6 Gold Ingots
Zhu Chongba drew three circles on the note, and after drawing, he took a closer look at whether it was round or not, he took the note and put it in the distance to look at it, although it was a little unround, but that's it!
These three circles will be able to represent what he agrees with for a while.
The housekeeper was enjoying Zhu Chongba's performance on the side, and he suddenly had an indescribable feeling, is this person still Zhu Chongba?
"Butler, thank you! You prepare the ingredients according to my recipe, if no one has time to match, I will match tomorrow, then I will go first. Zhu Chongba took the gold ingot and weighed how much it weighed.
The housekeeper's eyes kept looking at the gold ingot, until he couldn't see it, and then he looked at the note written by Zhu Chongba.
After reading it, the housekeeper said in his heart, boy, this is a deed of sale! If your kid's recipe doesn't work, hehe, what do you do?
Although he was not optimistic about Zhu Chongba's list, he didn't dare not follow it, that landlord Liu Fu was not a good talker, and sighed in his heart, his life was really bitter! However, he thought in his heart, Zhu Chongba, thank you very much! He can make a small fortune again, and as long as there is a deal, he has a way to make money.
Zhu Chongba left the landlord's house, he also knew the truth that wealth was not exposed, if he held such a large piece of gold ingots to swagger through the market, it is estimated that he would not go out of a mile, and someone would have done him.
Zhu Chongba just remembered a little bit about the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the status of the Han people in this period was basically the lowest.
If the Mongols saw Zhu Chongba's gold ingot, they would kill him, that is, kill him, and now he is in the eyes of others, it is really not worth mentioning.
Therefore, Zhu Chongba was cautious along the way, he would not touch this mold, it seems that everything is a coexistence of risks and opportunities.
He remembered a saying, this is the best of times, and the worst of times.
After arriving at home, Zhu Chongba knocked on the door, and it took a long time for his father to open the door for him.
Zhu Chongba didn't know what was going on? He asked, "Daddy, what's wrong?" Closes so early today? ”
After his father opened the door, he immediately closed the door again, and then he looked at Zhu Chongba, "My child, what's wrong with your brain?" It's always been so early to close this afternoon! Don't you know? Those Tartars, who drank wine and ate beef at night, and then became drunk and went mad, do not know how many women of good families were ruined by them, nor how many young men were killed. ”
After Zhu Chongba heard it, he knew the cruelty of the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, it seems that Zhu Chongba's later rebellion was really forced to be helpless!
These things are not things that Zhu Chongba, who is small and small-handed, should be concerned about, their family of six is crammed into a thatched house, not to mention, because there are many people, it is really not very cold, seeing this condition, Zhu Chongba remembered why he slept in the firewood room of the landlord's house, because there was really no place in his house.
Zhu Chongba's eldest brother is about to get married, and now he is building a new thatched house, so that it will be better in the future.
The miserable life made these children realize the difficulties of life early, and the faces of Zhu Chongba's brothers and sisters were not very good, of course, Zhu Chongba's faces were the same.
How to change all this, of course, you have to have money, or someone to be an official.
"Dad, mother, I'll show you something." Saying that, Zhu Chongba took out the gold ingot, the modern Zhu Chongba has now accepted his fate, and he has really regarded the two old men in front of him as his father and mother.
"What's that?" His mother said.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp in the room, the gold ingot also shone with golden light.
His mother has never seen this thing in kind, but his mother has seen the painting on the door.
Or did his father see the world and snatch this gold ingot, "Chongba, where did you get this?" Is it stolen? Say, if so, return it immediately, otherwise it will really kill your head. ”
His mother also sat up from the floor, "My child can't steal other people's things, Shigehachi, tell me what's going on, right?" ”
Zhu Chongba was really angry when he heard his father say that he stole it just now, and when he heard his mother's words, he didn't get angry.
At this time, several of his brothers and sisters also came around. Before their parents, they behaved very well.
"This is what I earned, from the landlord Liu Fu, and there is still a penny here." Zhu Chongba took out his note and handed it to his father.
Only his father in this family still knows a few words, but he can't recognize them all, after watching it for a long time, he didn't see what it meant, but his attitude towards Zhu Chongba has changed, "That's good, Chongba has a future, he can make money, it's much better than us, hahaha......" His father couldn't help laughing.
Seeing his father smile, his face full of wrinkles, he felt a little sad, but he swore that everything would be fine, and he would try to let his father and mother see the day he became the emperor.
"Dad, how many things do you think this piece of gold ingots really buys? Is it enough for my eldest brother to marry him? Zhu Chongba said.
"Heavy eight! This piece of gold ingots can be exchanged for fifteen ingots of silver, if it is exchanged for copper coins, it will be even more, if your eldest brother marries, plus the grass house, it will not take much, which is enough for our family of six to eat for a year, and it is to eat meat every day. His dad said.
After listening to his father's words, Zhu Chongba understood the value of this gold ingot.
"Chongba, this is what you earned, you have the right to dominate, how do you say to spend it?" His dad asked.
Zhu Chongba thought for a while, "Dad, big brother, you exchange it for silver ingots tomorrow and bring it over, big brother, you marry, build a house, use it, leave a part to improve the family's food, and I'll tell you what to do when I get there." ”
His father looked at Zhu Chongba, as if he had reacquainted himself with his child, "Just do as you say, I won't sleep tonight, I'll come to see this gold ingot." ”
"No, Dad, you sleep, I'll come and see, make sure it's okay." His eldest brother said.
After Zhu Chongba listened to the words of his father and eldest brother, he felt that a story he had heard was very right, about a poor peasant living next to the landlord's house, although there was no money, but there was laughter every day, and the landlord's wife asked the landlord to find a way to make them not laugh, and the landlord threw a silver ingot over, and never heard their laughter again.
Zhu Chongba began to carry out a profound ideological education on his father and eldest brother.
