Chapter 50: Spending money is like water
When he came back from the auction, Liu Lei's face was full of unhappiness, and even Li Tianlong didn't dare to talk to him for fear of touching his head.
Walking into his own room, Liu Lei didn't know where to take out a small abacus, put all the family resources on the table, and calculated it.
While making an abacus, he muttered quietly: "It cost 31 gold coins and 30 silver coins to buy coolie slaves, 270 gold coins at the auction house, plus 10 gold coins spent in the past few days, a total of 311 gold coins and 30 silver coins were spent, and a small half of it was spent in less than two days after I earned 1460 gold coins, not counting the cart of furs sent to Liu Tianzheng, oops!" It hurts God, my heart hurts."
Originally, the account could be calculated clearly, but Liu Lei just came up with an abacus, which shows how much he is slammed in his heart.
Chirping......
Just when Liu Lei was distressed, the door was pushed open, Xiao Cui walked in with the night, Xiao Cui put the food on the table and said, "Young Master, you can eat dinner first"
Liu Lei said in an unkind tone: "What to eat, you can't eat, you can take it out."
Xiaocui came over kindly, but she didn't expect Liu Lei to lose her temper at her, she was wronged, and the moisture in her eyes slowly gathered.
Liu Lei regretted it after saying it, and when he saw that Xiaocui was actually crying, he subconsciously wanted to coax, but he couldn't hold his face, so he could only hold his scalp and put on a stinky face.
Xiao Cui's tears were about to fall, and she suddenly sniffed her nose and said in surprise: "Hey? How do I smell a scent? It seems to be the smell of a woman. ”
Slowly turned his head and approached Liu Lei and sniffed it.
"The smell is from the eldest young master, where did you go in the afternoon?" After speaking, his face became gloomy.
Liu Lei felt that something was wrong, there was a murderous aura lingering around him, and there was a feeling of "Chakra" soaring around him, and he saw that the story of the afternoon fragrance was about to be exposed.
"Ahh I'm hungry! I'm so hungry, Xiaocui, you can help me get some more food" Liu Lei suddenly pounced on the table, gobbled it up, and said vaguely in his mouth, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Hearing that Liu Lei was willing to eat, Xiao Cui no longer cared, and subconsciously went to the kitchen as Liu Lei instructed.
Walking out of the door of the room, a smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Cui's mouth with her head down, she is a self-aware woman, she has always known her identity, no matter how the young master obeys her, she also knows that she is not qualified to control Liu Lei and be jealous, just now she said that just to let Liu Lei divert his attention and let him be satisfied if he can eat something.
Seeing Xiaocui go out, Liu Lei breathed a sigh of relief, as the first girl he liked when he came to this world, Liu Lei still cared very much in his heart, and he actually had a feeling that his cheating was discovered by the original partner.
"Huh? Today's meal is quite delicious" was interrupted by Xiaocui, Liu Lei really felt that he was hungry, on the one hand, he was glad to save himself, and on the other hand, he was hungry, Liu Lei ate very happily.
"Young Master, the meal is here, you must be full today" Before he saw anyone, Xiao Cui's voice came in first.
Or my little Cuicui is good to me, Liu Lei thought happily.
"Woo! Woo! Liu Lei hurriedly took two bites and responded.
But at this time, Xiaocui came in with two sea bowls bigger than her hands in one hand, and the rice was full of sharp points.
Forehead...... Liu Lei's frightened hands trembled, and the bowl fell to the ground.
Xiao Cui walked over with a smile and said, "It's okay young master, don't drop it, come and eat"
Saying that, he put the two sea bowls in front of Liu Lei, Liu Lei looked at Xiao Cui with a pitiful expression and said, "Xiao Cui, I'm full, can I stop eating?"
Xiao Cui said with a "kind" smile: "No, young master, you haven't eaten enough, eat it while it's hot."
Liu Lei saw it, this is not angry, what should I do, roll up my sleeves and eat.
Xiao Cui sat next to him with a smile, holding her chin in her hand, and looked at Liu Lei.
Liu Lei worked hard for a long time before he ate half of the first bowl, but he couldn't hold it anymore, looked at Xiaocui and said, "Can you stop eating?" ”
Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Eat, go out and steal food when you are full." ”
Liu Lei smiled wryly: "Can you give me saliva to drink?"
Xiao Cui nodded, took the teapot and said with concern: "Come, young master, this pot is yours"
Liu Lei wanted to die, slapped the table with his hand, glared at Xiao Cui and said, "Okay! ”
"Big young master, big young master" The blacksmith's voice came in from outside, Liu Lei hurriedly put down the bowl when he met the amnesty, and said with a smile: "The blacksmith is looking for me"
Xiaocui nodded, Liu Lei breathed a sigh of relief, made a little effort, didn't stand up, and couldn't walk.
"Blacksmith, come in!" Liu Lei shouted.
The blacksmith ran in excitedly, saw that Xiao Cui was also there, and saw the food on the table and said, "Oh! Young Master, you're eating, then I'll wait for you to finish eating and come back later."
Liu Lei shouted in panic: "Don't! Other!! Don't! Come in, just say it now, finish eating" said and glanced at Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui pouted and began to clean up.
The blacksmith felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, scratched his head, and came over and said, "Young Master, you asked me to inquire where to sell mining equipment and refining equipment, and I found it, it is the best shop in the city."
Liu Lei's heart twitched, and he pointed to the door without hesitation and said, "You go out!" Went for the cheapest"
The blacksmith was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed face: "That big young master, the best quality is also good, as the old saying goes: if you want to get it, you must sharpen it, the quality of the equipment is good, we can also save effort in mining and refining, and the time can also be accelerated a lot."
Liu Lei frowned and nodded hesitantly.
The blacksmith continued, "Besides, you get what you pay for."
"You get out!" As soon as he heard this, Liu Lei felt a bad feeling in his heart, and said without raising his head.
Of course, the blacksmith would not take Liu Lei's words seriously, and still stood there.
Liu Lei knew that this money could not be saved, and said with a tangled face: "Say, how much do you have to spend?" ”
The blacksmith rubbed his hands embarrassedly, stretched out a finger, Liu Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "100 gold coins, take it, buy it and go back early."
The blacksmith lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Lei, and whispered: "One ...... 1,000 gold coins"
Poof!
Liu Lei sat on the ground and stammered, "...... you How much do you say? You repeat! ”
The blacksmith hesitated for a long time, and slowly stretched out his hand: "Why don't you want 900 gold coins?" ”
"Whew!"
Liu Lei jumped up and scolded suddenly: "Stinky and shameless, you are delusional, you don't want to give money if you don't want to give it, why don't you rob it"
The blacksmith looked at Liu Lei innocently, but said in a firm tone: "Young master, this money really can't be saved."
Liu Lei listened and quickly circled around the house with his hands in his hands, not that he was really greedy for money, mainly because he now had a total of more than 1,100 gold coins left in his hand, which was all his belongings.
Although mining is a golden rooster that can make money, but the construction of the new Qingfeng Town is the current big head, not to mention taking 900 gold coins to the blacksmith, even if the more than 1,000 gold coins are thrown in the construction, it may not be enough, in the previous life, he could learn urban planning, and naturally knew that Qingfeng Town is now full of places that need money.
But the matter of opening the mine can't be put down, which makes Liu Lei in a dilemma, so anxious that he turns in circles, and when he is about to dim the blacksmith, Liu Lei suddenly stops, points at the blacksmith with red eyes and says: "I'll give you 600 gold coins, do you want to love!" If you want to go, you don't want to die! ”
How do you know that the blacksmith hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "Yes!" Want! How don't "as if I was afraid that Liu Lei would regret it."
Liu Lei froze for a moment, he suddenly felt that something seemed wrong, and he seemed to be cheated again.
But since he agreed, it was not good to regret it, Liu Lei hesitated, and reluctantly took out a few golden tickets from the table and handed them to the blacksmith.
The blacksmith almost snatched it, stuffed it into his arms, turned around and ran, for fear that Liu Lei would regret it.
Liu Lei looked at his figure and sat down with his head covered in pain.
"Big young master, big young master" At this time, a voice calling him sounded at the door again, this time it was Li Tianlong.
I saw Li Tianlong also walking in with a happy face, but when he saw Liu Lei's appearance, he asked worriedly: "Young master, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Liu Lei waved his hand weakly to indicate that he was fine.
Only then did Li Tianlong speak: "Good news, eldest young master, I secretly contacted a former subordinate of mine, who is now working as a quartermaster under the third master, and he promised to get us a batch of armor and weapons."
Liu Lei cried and said with a sad face: "Tell me Uncle Li, how much does it cost?" ”
Li Tianlong also knew that Liu Lei didn't have much money now, so he hesitated and said embarrassedly: "That...... That, the benefit fee is 10 gold coins, a battle knife is 20 silver coins and sells for 100 pieces, a bow and arrow 10 silver coins are sold for 50, a spear is 10 silver coins and a set of gold coins is sold for 100 sets, and there are military supplies such as war horses and tents, adding up to a total of 200 gold coins."
Liu Lei wants to cry now, but weapons and armor are life-saving things, and he really can't save it, so he endured his distress and took out two golden tickets and gave them to Li Tianlong, Li Tianlong took it and arched his hand at Liu Lei, turned around and walked out.
"Big young master, big young master" After a while, another voice was shouting to him, this time it was the family sent out to buy and sell daily necessities.
Jia Ding walked in and saw Liu Lei looking at him with teary eyes, and said respectfully: "Grain, meat and condiments, the small ones have been found, a total of 50 gold coins"
Liu Lei was already a little numb at this time, took out a 50 golden ticket, handed it to the family, and waved him to leave quickly. But Liu Lei's suffering is not over, after that, there are still sellers of farm tools, kitchen utensils, and tools have come to report, and later Liu Lei called this day the day of Arei's suffering.
Before going to bed at night, Liu Lei looked at the last 100 golden ticket on the table, and really understood what it means to stump a hero with a penny, and spend money like running water!
