Chapter 358: Someone from Eastern Wu
Wang Po is quite a shrewd and capable woman.
Although everyone around her called her Wang Po, in fact, she was not yet thirty years old.
In the Hereafter, such a woman is when she is beautiful.
It's a pity that in this era, a woman who is almost thirty years old is basically an old woman.
At this moment, the princess is squatting next to a field and cleaning up a fat chicken.
Pull the loose hair behind your ears and put the whole chicken in the boiling water in the bucket next to you.
After a few moments, the chicken was taken out again and placed in the wooden basin in front of him.
Taking advantage of the hot temperature on the chicken, Wang Po's hand moved quickly.
The chicken feathers flew, and after a while, a yellow, orange, orange, bare fat chicken appeared in her hand.
"This chicken is fat enough, just right for stew!"
A voice full of laughter came from behind Wang Po.
"That's... I've been raising this chicken myself for a long time.
Kill it now, and to be honest, I'm still a little sad! ”
Wang Po's voice is sonorous and powerful, just like her temperament, vigorous and resolute.
"In that case, why kill it!"
The voice continued to ask, and Wang Po, who was cleaning up the mess, obviously didn't want to stay here, and her movements in her hands were fast.
"No way, our king likes to drink chicken soup.
He used to say that this chicken does..."
As she spoke, she stood up.
She also wanted to see who the person who had just spoken was.
It's a pity that as soon as she glanced at it, her face changed greatly.
The fat chicken in his hand also rolled directly to the ground.
"Huh..."
Xu Tian screamed, immediately stepped forward, picked up the fat chicken, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then put it seriously into the wooden basket.
"Such a good chicken, because I'm going to die, is this a crime?"
Wang Po felt that her legs were weakening, and it was the first time she stood so close to Xu Tian.
"The king likes it, it's a blessing for it, it's a good thing!"
Xu Tian could see that this princess was still very capable.
With this calm temperament and the ability to adapt to changes, it is very unusual.
"Grandma Wang, I heard that you are responsible for the purchase of all the food and materials in this manor?!"
Xu Tian's sudden inquiry into this matter made Wang Po a little uncomfortable.
She was a little unsure why Xu Tian asked this.
Don't trust yourself? Or do you want to check your accounts?
"It's... It's the slave who is in charge! ”
Wang Po's voice trembled a little, and the unknown was the most terrifying.
"Don't be nervous, I have something to ask you!"
Xu Tian's gentle smile gave Wang Po some comfort.
After taking a few deep breaths, she calmed down and bowed to Xu Tianyi.
"If the king has something to do, please do not hesitate to command, the slave and maid will definitely know everything!"
"You are usually responsible for buying the things needed for the manor, so you can be said to know everything about the control of prices in Xiangyang, right?"
Xu Tian looked at Wang Po with hope, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"Of course, the slave must know this in order to save the manor as much as possible!"
"Good!" Xu Tianyi clapped his palms and nodded.
Then he looked at the fat chicken again, thought about it and asked again.
"How much can a chicken like this sell for?"
Wang Po subconsciously looked at the fat chicken glowing with white light, and thought for a while.
"Such chickens can be sold for 30 to 50 yuan in Xiangyang City.
This specific number depends on the individual's ability! ”
When she said these words, Wang Po obviously straightened her waist.
It can be seen that she should be a master in this area.
"That's... Look at this copper coin, is it worth this chicken? ”
Wang Po looked blankly at the dark yellow copper coin in Xu Tian's hand.
Some trembling hands picked it up.
After just a few simple glances, Wang Po reluctantly put the copper coin back into Xu Tian's hand.
She swore she had never seen money like it.
Not only is it in excellent condition, but it is also more than twice as heavy as the copper coins in circulation.
"Can such a copper coin buy a fat chicken?"
Xu Tian looked at Wang Po with anticipation, in his mind, such a good copper coin, even if it is not enough, it is almost enough.
"One?"
Wang Po's mouth opened wide, and she looked at Xu Tian with a flurry of words.
"I'm afraid this kind of money is not enough for both!"
Seeing Wang Po's surprised face, Xu Tian knew that he had done the right thing.
"It's a pity," said the princess with a sigh.
"What a pity?"
"There's only one, and if we all have money like this, then..."
Judging from Wang Po's words and her performance, there should be a huge market for new coins.
This made Xu Tian very happy, in this era when there is no fixed value for coins, it is really easy to do something.
Once the market is in circulation, it is all such a new type of coin.
Xu Tian believes that whether it is Cao Pi or Sun Liu, it will be Xu Tian's inexhaustible warehouse.
"What do you do with these chicken feathers?"
After Xu Tian put the new-style copper coins away, he looked at the chicken feathers scattered all over the ground and asked.
"It's dried, made into a duster to clean the room..."
Wang Po was somewhat disappointed, she originally thought that Xu Tian would tell her that there would be a lot of coins like that just now.
In the minds of these people, Xu Tian seems to have risen to the point of omnipotence.
Even if he told Wang Po that such money was inexhaustible, she could believe it.
"In the future, all the chicken feathers, duck feathers and other feathers in the manor will be collected together, I will be useful!"
After giving the order, Xu Tian left here with a smile.
Only the princess was left standing in place inexplicably, muttering incessantly.
"Chicken feathers, duck feathers don't let go, the king is really picking the door and getting home..."
Xu Tian didn't plan to explain the principle of "down jacket" to her.
Winter is just around the corner, and in this day and age, freezing a few people to death is as common as eating.
The gloves had already been asked for Yao Qing to make, and Xu Tian also planned to ask her to make some feather-filled clothes for the people in the manor.
This is also an experiment, and as soon as it is feasible, these things will appear in the army.
In the final analysis, it is still the most important and the simplest representative of strength, that is, the army is strong...
…
When Xu Tian appeared in the field again carrying a plowshare, Ling Feng trotted all the way over.
After helping Xu Tian put the plowshare in the ground, Ling Feng clapped his hands and said.
"King, someone is coming!"
"What's coming?"
Xu Tian led a ploughing ox over and asked suspiciously.
"Soochow, Soochow is here! Just outside the estate.
The rules are being received, saying that they want to see you in person..."
"Ha..." Xu Tian chuckled, slowly put the plow on the back of the plough cow's neck, and smacked his lips.
"So soon, the fishing people came, much faster than I expected.
By the way, who's coming? ”
"Zhang Zhao..."
