Chapter 135: Lost Heart

If Li Feibai didn't have the last explanation, Zhang Zhishan might have believed Li Feibai's words. Since it's a baby, how can anyone not know the goods.

Zhang Zhishan listened to this explanation, and secretly felt that Li Feibai had a ghost in his heart, otherwise why would he need a dog's tail to continue the mink. He expected that Li Feibai was making up a lie, and said secretly: "I see that you don't see the Yellow River and don't give up, and you don't hit the south wall and don't look back." Okay, wait for the things to come and see how I fix you. People are not big, but their hearts are not small, and they dare to be unfavorable to the two adults. If I don't torture you to the point that I regret coming to the world, I will have your surname. ”

In the past few years, Wang Shouren has suppressed bandits and quelled rebellions, killing not hundreds of thousands but hundreds of thousands, all of whom have parents and brothers, and millions of people want to kill Wang Shouren to avenge him. As Wang Shouren's personal guard, Zhang Zhishan played with a twelve-point spirit and was on guard all the time. His spirit was too nervous, and he didn't look like a good person, and he felt that it would be unfavorable to Wang Shouren.

He sneered again and said, "Why bother going to the stable with you? With that, he whistled.

Someone in the distance responded with a whistle from a tree, and after tea time, a guard returned with a sack. He threw the thing on the ground and said with a gloomy face: "In addition to our horses in the stable, there are only two doors in the yamen." One of them had nothing on it, and the other had a sack and this little bag. ”

He took out a small bag from his arms, threw it on the sack, and said: "The rice in the sack is not rice beans or beans, and I don't know what it is, it is estimated that it is feed for livestock." The pouch looked like sesame seeds, but it was much smaller than sesame seeds, and it tasted without the fragrance of sesame seeds, but it had a disgusting bitter taste. ”

Zhang Zhishan asked, "Just these two things?" Nothing else? ”

The man said, "There are no other things, nothing of value. ”

Zhang Zhishan waved his hand and asked the man to leave. Then he stared at Li Feibai with a murderous face, and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Li Feibai was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "I said it earlier. Some people don't know the goods, and they will mistake good things for dung. ”

Zhang Zhishan was furious and shouted: "Until now, you still dare to be hard-mouthed!" "Immediately, he had to cut off Li Feibai's arm, and he wanted to take Li Feibai down for careful interrogation, so that he had to find out who Li Feibai was instructed to disadvantage the two adults.

Wang Shouren stopped: "Zhishan, take out some of the things in the sack and I'll take a look." ”

Zhang Zhishan didn't dare to disobey, staring at Li Feibai coming to the sack, grabbed a handful of corn from inside, and walked up to the pavilion to divide more than a dozen grains for each of the three people.

Wang Shouren, Guo Xun, and Daoist Yunlong carefully examined the jade hand in their hands by the light of the fire, and after a while, Wang Shouren asked, "Brother Guo, what do you think?" ”

Guo Xun said: "It seems to be grain, but I've never seen it?" ”

Wang Shouren asked Daoist Yunlong again, "Daoist, what do you mean?" ”

Yunlong Dao said: "If it can be eaten, it is a treasure!" ”

Wang Shouren nodded and said: "Everyone in the world says that gold and jade are treasures, but they don't know what kind of treasure gold and jade are hungry and cold. As he spoke, he put a grain of corn into his mouth and bit it hard, but instead of biting it off, his teeth were much looser, and blood oozed from his gums.

He coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of blood-mixed spit, and laughed, "Say it can be eaten!" I don't know if I'm eating it or if it's eating me. It can't be eaten, but it smells of food. He turned his head and asked Li Feibai, "You come to explain to us, what is the name of this thing, and why is it a treasure." ”

Li Feibai said: "It's called corn." As the Yunlong Dao Leader said, because it can eat, it is a treasure! ”

Wang Shouren said: "What is the way to eat?" ”

Li Fei said in a white heart: "I just blow it to the sky, it is better for you to taste it yourself." Said: "Dao Chief, there can be a small mill in the view." After receiving an affirmative answer, he went to the sack, stretched out his hand, and poured a lot of money into the sack as if he were dying, and said, "I use it to make seeds, and I can't bear to waste too much." This should make a bowl of porridge. ”

Daoist Yunlong beckoned a Dao boy and asked him to reach out and take the corn.

Li Feibai said: "Grind finely, then add water to boil over high heat, and then simmer over low heat." ”

Dao Tong took it and went.

The three people in the pavilion said in their hearts, Li Feibai let the grinding and stewing, it can be seen that the things must be edible. As for the taste, I don't know, but we'll know when we taste it.

Wang Shouren said: "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Li Feibai put the small bag of tobacco leaves in his arms, and said, "I bought these two things from a Francois man for 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

When everyone present heard this, they all gasped. Spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy two bags of this thing, even if you can eat everything, it is more delicious than rice and white noodles, and you won't need 10,000 taels of silver. Even if they were made of gold, they would not be worth ten thousand taels of silver.

Zhang Zhishan snorted coldly and scoffed at Li Feibai's words. If it weren't for Wang Shouren's ability to stop him, he would have slapped him a long time ago and scolded Li Feibai for blowing it again.

Guo Xun looked Li Feibai up and down twice, and secretly said that this person must be crazy or have a sick brain, otherwise who would spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy these things.

After Wang Shouren founded Xinxue, there were many disciples who came to study with him, and there were many who came to the gym with his deeper knowledge and greater fame. He had seen all kinds of people, and among them there was a class of people who behaved perversely, and even less amazing in their speech, hoping to attract the attention of the world and make a name for themselves.

He was accustomed to this, and only when Li Feibai said that 10,000 taels of silver to buy two things was a means to arouse everyone's curiosity and let everyone continue to listen, he smiled and said: "I think the little brother is shrewd, not like a master who was deceived at will and suffered losses." What did that Franc man say, making you willing to pay a huge amount of money to buy it? ”

Li Feibai stretched out his hand and gestured to six, and said, "He said that if this thing is planted in the ground, one acre of land can beat 600 catties." ”

Guo Xun was a northerner, but he was the governor of Liangguang. Wang Shouren is a native of the south and has also spent a year and a half in the capital.

Both of them know that whether an acre of good land is planted with rice or wheat, a maximum of two or three hundred catties of grain can be grown a year, and they have never heard that one acre of land can produce six hundred catties. However, think about the corn just now, with its hard texture and rough appearance, it can be eaten and repaid, if it is difficult to swallow, chewing and crushing your teeth, and forcibly swallowing it is as uncomfortable as a knife and axe, not to mention that it is useless to hit 600 catties or 6,000 catties.

Wang Shouren said: "He told you that he could beat 600 catties, so you believed it?" Even if you can beat 600 catties, if you can't eat it, won't you occupy the land in vain and lose a year's harvest? ”

Li Feibai said: "That Franc machine man doesn't look like lying. Moreover, if he were to lie, he would not say that corn is not as good as rice and white flour, and that there are not as many kinds of things as the previous two, and the most common method is only to boil porridge or steam corn nests. ”

Wang Shouren said: "Then you still spend so much money to buy?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Francois said that the planting of corn is just staggered with wheat, so that one season of grain is planted in a year, and two crops are planted. What makes me excited is that although this thing is not as delicious as rice and white flour, it can save lives at critical times! I have a friend who starved to death a few years ago because he had no food. In order to survive, he rebelled with the displaced people, attacked the capital, and went south to loot everywhere, which plagued him for several years before he was exterminated by the official army. ”

Wang Shouren and Guo Xun glanced at each other and knew that Li Feibai was talking about Liu Liu's rebellion.
