Chapter 17: Scared Me Out and Lost Money

Yang Wenhua said countless good words to coax Yang Sanmei, and Yang Chen took Yang Dayang and the two brothers to slowly rummage in the fire.

As the saying goes, breaking a family is worth a lot, Yang Wenhua's promise is another matter, and it's good to be able to get something back now.

Yang Wenhua persuaded a few words, and after finding that it was useless, he went with them, but then Yang Wenhua opened his eyes.

You never know how discreetly the poor will collect the things they value.

Yang Chen commanded Yang Da and Yang two brothers, first extinguished the fire, and it could also be used as firewood, all of them were taken to the grass with residual snow, rolled a few laps and stacked together.

Then Yang Chen asked the two brothers to dig up the ashes, then dig up the soil, and finally uncover a stone slab, and below is a small cellar, well, maybe a cubic meter of size, not much.

The cellar was rich, with the cloth Yang Wenhua had given earlier, a few catties of rice, a few sweet potatoes, a small bag of salt, their own half a jar of soybeans, a little wheat and brown rice, and wild boar's head and pig's legs.

After pulling out the crockpot and broken bowl from the ashes, Yang Wenhua felt that it was really a miraculous thing for this family and the house to burn down but not lose anything.

The dilapidated house itself, in fact, was not worth much, and they erected a few pillars to make beams, cut some bamboo to make walls, smeared some mud to protect them from the wind, and built a thin thatched roof and it came back, as they did earlier.

Seeing that things were fine, Yang Chen buried the small cellar again, just took some brown rice and soybeans, and a little wild boar meat came out, washed the crockpot, filled it with water and boiled a large crockpot of gruel.

As soon as the gruel was boiled, a large group of people with torches appeared in the distance, just when the four members of the Yang family were panicked, and Yang Wenhua was about to send them into the small space.

The person who came shouted loudly: "Master Yang, Master Yang is fine." ”

Hearing the shout, Yang Wenhua calmed the four members of the Yang family, looked at the opposite side with his feet on his feet, and was ready to enter the space at any time.

A little closer, Yang Wenhua followed the torch to see the person who came, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, it was a member of the Cui family, and the two Yang Wenhua in the lead had seen it, when they came with Cui Yuan.

"Don't come here."

After Yang Wenhua stopped them from approaching, he raised his voice and asked, "I'm very good, what are you doing here?" ”

The person on the other side stopped and replied loudly: "My lord heard that there is a small night, which is not good for Master Yang, and he is worried about the safety of Master Yang, so he specially asked us to protect you." ”

"I don't need your protection, keep me away, you are just a small night, and you will be annoyed when you see it." Yang Wenhua replied, and then left them alone.

The people of the Cui family suddenly looked at each other, discussed it, and felt that Yang Wenhua was fine, and they didn't bother to come forward to talk about themselves, so they simply scattered and patrolled around.

When it was dark and Yang Wenhua was holding a broken bowl and began to drink porridge, Cui Yuancai was late riding Ma Shanshan.

I called the health servant nursing home to inquire about it, and after understanding the situation.

Cui Yuan stepped forward, bowed to Yang Wenhua who was sitting on the stone, and saluted: "This time it was for my brother that something went wrong."

Let the virtuous brother be frightened, but fortunately, the virtuous brother has the ability to turn the danger into a disaster, and he is safe. ”

"It's safe, do you think I'm safe?" Yang Wenhua said and pointed, the ashes that were still emitting green smoke.

Cui Yuanwan smiled, "It's just a little thing, wait for me to let the servants build another one, all wood wooden house, what do you think?"

"What about my mental damages?"

Seeing Cui Yuan's puzzled expression, Yang Wenhua explained: "It's just that I was scared and lost money." ”

Looking at Yang Wenhua's outstretched handboard, Cui Yuan showed a crying and laughing expression, took a deep breath, and said: "Cui Mansion still has some good tonic products, wait for the next brother to let someone send some to the virtuous brother, is this good?"

"Not good."

At this moment, only gold can comfort your injured heart, what is the use of a little supplement, even if it is valuable, it is not easy to sell.

"The little brother was scared and forgot a lot of things, they are all big deals that can make money, and my brother may not be able to let the little brother get back his memory with a little supplement."

Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "For example?" ”

"For example, how to steam wine."

Seeing Cui Yuan's lack of interest, Yang Wenhua planned to be ruthless, "Another example, does my brother know about rock salt?" ”

"Of course, rock salt appears everywhere, usually there are many livestock licking food, but people can't eat for a long time, otherwise they will be poisoned to death, why do you mention rock salt?"

After Cui Yuan finished speaking, without waiting for Yang Wenhua to answer, he became short of breath, "Could it be that Brother Fei Xian can extract edible salt from rock salt?"

"Yes, yes." Yang Wenhua nodded incomprehensibly and replied with two words.

But these two words were very different in Cui Yuan's ears, and at this moment Cui Yuan's face was already red with excitement.

That's salt, it's something that everyone needs, except for Bashu and a few areas in the west, where salt can be made, it can only be boiled in the sea.

Whether it is the salt there, when it is transported to the mainland, the price has become extremely high, and rock salt has been found in Guanzhong and Henan from time to time.

"Oh, come on, come on."

Cui Yuan instantly took off a piece of jade pendant on his body, handed it to Yang Wenhua, and said: "This jade pendant has always been a cherished thing for my brother, worth at least two thousand gold, and I gave it to my brother to comfort my brother's injured heart." ”

At least two thousand gold, not one or two million, Yang Wenhua got up and took the jade pendant, first happy, and then glanced at Cui Yuan with some suspicion, not fooling himself.

"It's really worth two thousand gold?"

"At least two thousand taels of gold, even if the virtuous brother asks someone, if the virtuous brother does not like it, he will immediately send someone to get two thousand gold for the virtuous brother and exchange it with the virtuous brother." Cui Yuan said with a painful face.

"Well, then you don't need to."

Yang Wenhua hurriedly put the jade pendant up, "The things given by my brother, how can I measure my ability with money, my little brother is not that kind of person, these little brothers like this jade pendant very much, thank you brother." ”

Watching Yang Wenhua put away the jade pendant and sat back again, like no one else, Cui Yuan is so angry, the thing has been collected, what is the secret recipe for refining salt?

"Brother Xian, are you feeling better now?"

"Ah, well, much better." Yang Wenhua glanced at Cui Yuan inexplicably.

Cui Yuan was speechless, and asked patiently: "Then, do you remember the matter of making salt?" ”

"I remember." Yang Wenhua asked with a smile on his face, what does it matter to you?

Cui Yuan couldn't wait any longer, and asked directly, "Can you tell Brother Wei?" ”

"Yes."

Without waiting for Cui Yuan to be happy, Yang Wenhua continued: "Wait for my brother to help my younger brother build the house, and then we will discuss the price carefully, and then let's talk about it." ”

"Didn't you just give money?" Cui Yuan said angrily.

"Didn't my brother compensate me?" Yang Wenhua glanced at Cui Yuan suspiciously, and continued to make porridge.

Standing in the cold wind of winter, Cui Yuan felt a little messy.
