Chapter 1: Don't be a fool anymore

Next Chapter

The sky was faint, and Chen Yue woke up from his dream. It wasn't that he wanted to wake up, but that the tinkling sound of his "father" waking him up after he got up.

However, he did not open his eyes, but continued to lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep, because he did not know how to face his "father" Chen Jianghe. Because in another world, he is an orphan, he has never had the experience of getting along with his parents, and he has never called someone Daddy.

Yes, at this time, Chen Yue is no longer the owner of the original body, but a soul from another world.

It's just that I met a thief on the way off work, and when I caught the thief, I was smashed by a thief accomplice with a brick, and I came to this world as soon as I opened my eyes. Things were ridiculous, and it took Chen Yue a few days to accept the fact that he had come to the end of the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, he possessed a wounded person who was also smashed in the head, and it was a fool with a smashed head, so no one noticed his abnormality.

Yes, this guy he leaned over was a fool, because in the past two days, Chen Yue often heard his father sigh in front of his hospital bed, saying how good it would be if he were a normal child. And according to the memory of this body before his death, according to the attitude of others towards him in his memory, Chen Yue once again confirmed the fact that he leaned over the fool. Although this body was not a dead fool in the traditional sense before it was born, it was at least missing three or four hearts and eyes.

It's easy to pretend to be a fool, just lie on the bed and don't say anything, and for a wounded fool, no one cares why he doesn't speak. But Chen Yue is not willing to pretend to be a fool for the rest of his life, it is better to die than to die.

But how to change from a fool to a normal person is also something that needs to be carefully considered, because it must be a difficult thing for a fool to suddenly become a smart person and a genius. Will someone catch themselves in the hospital for biopsy study? By the way, there are no hospitals in this era, so will anyone think that they are possessed by demons, and then pour potions and runes into their stomachs to ward off evil spirits? Chen Yue said he was worried.

You have to think about how others slowly accept yourself and accept the fact that a fool has become smarter.

Just when Chen Yue was lying on the bed and secretly thinking, his father Chen Jianghe had already packed up and stood in front of his bed.

"Ah Yue, dad is gone, you will get up and drink the porridge in the pot in a while!" Chen Jianghe stood in front of Chen Yue's bed and commanded.

The sentence is soft, full of a father's doting feelings for his son, this kind of feeling Chen Yue can feel even though his eyes are closed, and his heart trembles, because Chen Yue, who grew up in an orphanage, has never felt family affection! He's not my father, no, he's my father, because he gave birth to my body! Just when Chen Yue was struggling in his heart, whether to wake up and shout "Dad", Chen Jianghe had already turned around.

"How nice would it be if you were a normal child?" With these words, Chen Jianghe walked out of the house.

It wasn't until Chen Jianghe's footsteps disappeared that Chen Yue sat up with a wry smile. I washed my face and started eating. On the coal stove sat a pot, and when the lid of the pot was lifted, there was a grate, and on the grate was a large piece of black bread, and under the grate was a boiled rice porridge.

Holding a black flatbread in one hand and a huge rice bowl in the other, Chen Yue sat on the threshold and ate and drank.

It's not that I don't want to sit at the dinner table to eat, it's that there is no dining table in the house at all. Two beds, two broken boxes in the corner, a coal stove for cooking, and an iron pot, these are all the belongings of this family, and it is not an exaggeration to describe this home with four walls!

However, Chen Yue is not sad that this family is poor, because no matter how poor it is, it is also a home, a family with relatives, and a home of his own! What is poverty? As long as you are willing to work hard, you will always make money and live a good life!

What really made Chen Yue determined to make money was that the black cake in his hand was too unpalatable. It seems to be made of wheat bran mixed with wild vegetables, and it smells musty, and it is so hard that you can knock your teeth out when you eat it. Although he was an orphan in his previous life, although he had also suffered from hunger, he had never eaten such an unpalatable thing!

After thinking about it, Chen Yue broke the cake and soaked it in the rice porridge, and the cake was much softer by the rice porridge, so he pinched his nose and swallowed it all. There is no way, the wound on the head is still aching, and you must eat it to take care of your body as soon as possible, so as to start a plan to make money!

After eating, Chen Yue didn't want to stay in bed anymore and began to rummage around the house, trying to find a way to make money.

Although Chen Yue is ambitious and wants to make money, how can money be so easy to make? This is not in another world, as long as a normal person is willing to endure hardships, he can find a job to support his family. This is ancient, and he is not nominally a normal person, but a well-known fool.

According to the memory of this body, Chen Yue knew the basic situation of this family. 's father, Chen Jianghe, was a military household and served as the general flag in the Beijing camp, but the soldiers of this era were different from their previous lives. Although Chen Jianghe is a professional soldier and a low-ranking officer, he does not need to stay in the barracks every day. Because the army only drills once every half month. The reason why Chen Jianghe is busy is because he has another job, which is to work in a blacksmith shop to earn money to support his family.

Chen Jianghe's salary is not low, according to the imperial court system, as a general banner, he should have three taels of silver per month, including food and accommodation, and there will be a number of subsidies for vegetables, rice, oil and salt every month. But in fact, Chen Jianghe now actually gets less than one tael of silver a month, and in order to save food, the army only drills once every half a month. During the exercise, the army took care of the food, and in peacetime, they naturally looked for their own mothers and thought about their own meals.

The price of grain has risen continuously, and now it has risen to five taels of silver and one stone, and Chen Jianghe's salary is only enough to buy twenty or thirty catties of grain, how can he afford to support the father and son? So I had to work in a blacksmith shop to earn a little money to make ends meet.

As for the original Chen Yue, because he was stupid, he couldn't find any work at all, so he could only do some stupid work of carrying and transporting stupid people, and he was often deceived.

Although Chen Yue is no longer the fool he used to be, it is not so easy to come up with a good money-making idea in a hurry, because after all, he was just a little policeman who had just graduated from the police academy a few years ago in his previous life.

With his hands behind his back, Chen Yue walked around the room, looking east and west, thinking of ways to make money.

The room was empty, there was nothing but the two boxes in the corner. I walked over and opened the lid of the box, and there were clothes in it, all of which were tattered.

Lifting the lid of the other box, Chen Yue's eyes lit up suddenly.

Planers, chisels, saws, hammers, pliers, scissors, ink fountains, tape measures, and inside are all kinds of tools.

In addition to the tools, there were nail-headed iron pestles, steel iron hammers, and other messy things, which were turned over vigorously, and at the bottom there was a black spear head.

Looking at the tools in front of him, Chen Yue had a preliminary idea of making money, maybe he could rely on these tools to make something to sell for money.

In his previous life, Chen Yue's favorite thing was handicraft, and the house he rented was full of all kinds of tools, and at the same time, it was also full of all kinds of items he made. From small wooden carved villains, to strong bows and crossbows, sailboat models, and many handmade products. For this reason, Chen Yue has bought many professional books. He doesn't like to watch TV series, he doesn't like to read novels on the Internet, and handicraft is his only hobby. For this reason, many girls thought he was weird and gave up dating him, resulting in him graduating for several years until he crossed over without a girlfriend, and he lived for more than 20 years and never even talked about love.

Rummaging through the tools in the box, Chen Yue thought about what to do. If you want to make money, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to make something that is rare in this era. According to the memory in my head, handmade production has been very mature in this era, and this is Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and there are more good things, so it is really difficult to make something different.

Chen Yue is best at making models of sailboats, from the fortune ships of the Ming Dynasty to the Spanish galleons, but making sailboats requires enough materials and takes a long time. And Chen Yue lacks both of these things now, because he wants to make money as soon as possible to improve his food, but he has no money to buy materials.

Depending on the materials and tools in the house, he could only make a simple thing. After thinking about it carefully, Chen Yue decided to make a Trojan horse, a Trojan horse that would move on its own. This kind of toy should not have existed in the Ming Dynasty, because according to Chen Yue's memory, his predecessor did not find similar toys in the city of Beijing. In this era, there are nothing more than "rattles", "whistles", "bamboo horns", or clay toys "cloth tigers", "rabbits" and so on, as for toys that can move by themselves, they have not been in Chen Yue's previous memory.

In fact, automatic toys are very simple, they only need one power source. In later generations, most of the power sources were batteries, and of course some were simple springs and springs. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no battery at all, and Chen Yue couldn't make such a toy, but he could use springs and clockwork to make automatic toys! That's what he's going to do now.

In the wooden box, Chen Yue found a long steel bar, which was very elastic after trying it, and it could be curled to make a spring. There were still a few good planks to be found in the house, so the basic materials were complete.

I found a piece of limestone in the courtyard and drew it on the ground, and Chen Yue was designing the drawings of the wooden donkey. The most important thing in making items is design, as long as the drawings are drawn and the dimensions are designed, the rest of the processing is much easier.

Before I knew it, it was noon, and when Chen Yue was still busy, Chen Jianghe came back from the blacksmith shop and brought back a yellow, orange and orange cake to Chen Yue.

When he saw Chen Yue painting the yard with all kinds of lines, Chen Jianghe frowned and didn't say anything, after all, what else can a fool with no heart do except play stupidly?

"Eat the cake quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Chen Jianghe took the cake out of his arms and handed it to Chen Yue.

There were obvious scars on the cake, which were obviously saved by Chen Jianghe from his own rations. The blacksmith shop is in charge of a lunch, but it is not obliged to take care of the craftsman's family.

The cakes are yellow, orange and orange, made of cornmeal, and they are very sweet in the mouth, but it is not only the cakes that make Chen Yue feel sweet.

"Daddy......" Chen Yue mustered up his courage and shouted. However, Chen Jianghe didn't mean to talk to him, nor was he moved by his father, but touched his head, turned around and left the house.

"Okay, just stay in the yard, don't fool around with Wu Liang and those people anymore!" Chen Jianghe's words came from afar.

Ma Zhu and Wu Liang are famous prodigals in Xicheng, who often instigated the former Chen Yue to do bad things. The unhealed injuries on Chen Yue's head were due to them.
