While they are busy with the cargo ship, there are also many forces in the new plane who are busy.

Mr. Huang's "American seafood" is so successful that he can keep his mouth shut, making all the forces that are keen on American seafood salivate. There were even so many spies of various forces wandering around Huangjiazhai that they directly turned the gate of Huangjiazhai into a small bazaar.

At this time, on the tea stall at the entrance of the market, several strong men were sitting there quietly discussing something, and several tables near them were either empty or sitting in a place that was obviously their own, ensuring that no one in their vicinity dared to sit near their discussion area.

"Third brother!" A man dressed in brown linen said: "We have been near this village for more than ten days, and we have never seen a new face come out of it. ”

"It's just that it's been more than ten days, and I still don't have a clue."

"You guys, you guys really don't have any concentration." The person called the third brother leisurely poured some tea out of the teapot, and when he saw that there was no water, he shouted at the boss who was pushed outside the tea stall: "Renew the tea!" ”

The boss hurriedly ran in, although he was very dissatisfied with his store being occupied by so many people chatting, but the person in front of him, called the third brother, had a centipede-like wound on his face, extending from the bottom of his right eye to the side of his neck, which looked like he was terrified, where did he dare to say more.

When the owner of the tea stall was kicked out again, the third brother continued: "You only see one of them and no other, we have been guarding the gate of this Huangjiazhai for more than ten days, and indeed we have not seen a new person, but this also proves that these American seafood must not be brought in from outside." Or it is directly produced in the village by Huangjiazhai with the purchased things. ”

The people on both sides immediately shook their heads and disagreed, "Impossible, third brother, we have secretly checked the things transported in Huangjiazhai in the past ten days, except for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, it is gold and silver." How can these things be made into those wonders? ”

"That's right, then there is only the next possibility, these seafood are sent directly to the stockade from the outside through the secret passage, otherwise why would Master Huang send such a large amount of gold and silver to the stockade?" The third brother took a leisurely sip of tea and said.

"But how do you find this thing in the secret passage?" Someone quietly complained, "If one person hides something, it is difficult to find ten immortals, and Huangjiazhai is so big, where to start?" Not to mention that there are still villagers in the village patrolling the wall every day. ”

"We don't have to look for this thing in the secret way, what we are looking for is not the secret way, but the maritime merchants, since they call these strange goods American goods, then these maritime merchants must not be my great martial arts clan. Just pay a little attention to the people who dress and behave differently than my great martial arts, maybe like the blonde hair and blue eyes of the Medenor people or the red-haired people of Yaning. ”

"Isn't that too much trouble?" Someone said on the side, "We might as well just take Master Huang out and torture him directly, why do we need to make such a big turn?" ”

The third brother knocked the head of the complaining man, "You know how to kidnap people, no wonder you will only be a thief before!" Not long ago, thousands of pirates besieged this Huangjiazhai, but they were set on fire to the camp in the middle of the night, and more than 200 people were killed. ”

"But it's strange to say," the third brother suddenly said to himself, "There have been more than ten days of siege before the smoke all the way, and Huangjiazhai has not been able to break the siege, but that night I was suddenly beaten by some strange sharp firearms." And the American sea goods suddenly appeared after the defeat and escape all the way. Are the two really connected? ”

"Absolutely not," someone else said, "At that time, thousands of people who smoked all the way surrounded this Huangjiazhai like an iron bucket, and even if the American maritime merchants came to help, they should have attacked the camp of Yanyan all the way from outside, but I heard that the pirates who escaped said that the place where the sharp firearms were fired that night was the wall of Huangjiazhai." Presumably, there is really a secret passage entering. ”

"In that case, let the two brothers who are good at kung fu go in tonight and investigate." The third brother nodded and ordered, "Seventh and ninth, the two of you have the best kung fu, find an opportunity to climb over the wall and go in to investigate, no matter what is suspicious, you must report back." ”

"Yes, third brother." The old seven and the old ninety-two didn't say a word, and stood up and hugged their fists in agreement.

The third brother hurriedly motioned for the two to sit down, "We're here to spy on intelligence, not in the big camp, don't take out the salute in the big camp." ”

"Yes, third brother." The two hurriedly sat down.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, drink tea and drink tea," the third brother picked up the teapot and refilled another bowl ......of tea for the two. Grab some snacks! ”

The shopkeeper showed a little smile on his face, these guys have been drinking this Shiwen tea here for several days, and they usually eat the flatbread they brought. I have two texts to refill the water here, and people come to the stall at dawn, and it is a day to sit, and the stall is half an hour later than usual. This is not the most annoying, the most annoying thing is that every time these people come, they will directly occupy all their tables and make their business plummet.

But he dared to be angry with these people, although they were not very tall, but they were all strong and fierce, and most of them had scars on their faces, which looked extremely scary. And by chance, I saw someone with a short knife and a waist card on his waist, although he didn't see the official boots, but compared to the official family, it must be related to the official family, how can he afford it? I had to count myself unlucky.

The day chosen by the third brother is very accurate, today is a crossing delivery operation led by Du Yande and participated by six people. This time, Sun Wenbin and the others did not come, but a group of newcomers came. In addition to Du Yande, Beiwei, He Yayun, Wu Yong, and Jiang Yan and Li Zhe, who were responsible for counting gold and silver, were respectively guarded.

Most of the members of these sports groups are not very old, and they are basically under the age of 30. Beiwei was discharged from the army five years ago, and of the six years he served, five of them were spent in a scout brigade in the army. During this period, he participated in many operations, whether it was exercises or real operations, and he had outstanding performances. But because the society is becoming more and more peaceful, he always feels that what he has learned is the art of dragon slaying, and finally hesitated when applying for the third non-commissioned officer, and finally left the scout unit he had always longed for and returned to the place. Returning to the local north latitude, because of the scout's military experience, he was assigned to a local special police brigade as a special police officer. However, he was not very familiar with interpersonal relationships, and he was never able to deal with the captain's "special treatment" to him and the ardent expectations of the captain's aunt's nephew, and finally on the day he took the initiative to leave the profession of special police, he saw the captain's aunt's fat-bellied nephew walking into the door of the special police team wearing a police uniform that was obviously a little small. After leaving his career as a civil servant, he started a business and found some other jobs in the years of complaining from his family, but Beiwei, who trained hard in the army and achieved remarkable results, could not find his place in a peaceful life. In the end, he was extremely bored and went to the forum every day except for exercise, and then just when he felt that his life was going to end like this, he also saw the post of the wormhole.

He Yayun just reported to the base a few days ago, this former veteran of the armed police special police detachment has just returned from the army, full of boredom for peaceful life, stumbled upon the crossing post, thinking it was a new form of pyramid scheme, in the spirit of hitting children on a rainy day and being idle, by the way, I ran over to see the excitement, and wanted to see how the liars who were also sc netizens should end. But when he saw the blue and faint light gate, he was almost paralyzed with fright, this was actually true! He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to follow the executive committee to the new time and space first. As a former SWAT, he has a lot of kung fu in his hands, so he was quickly selected as a member of the escort team for this crossing.

Wu Yong, on the other hand, had just returned from a field unit of the army, and this young man, who had been at the forefront of the turmoil for a long time and was preparing to fight, had always been very enthusiastic in participating in various trainings, so he emerged in the selection of the escort team and came here together.

When they arrived on the new plane, they began to assemble the equipment they had prepared, and they hammered and hammered in the room where they were supposed to store their belongings for hours.

When Mr. Huang came to visit the "silver cellar" of the maritime merchants, he was shocked, is this still a silver cellar?

In contrast to them, who hid the silver in the basement, these merchants simply built a new iron house in the courtyard where he had entered. The house was built directly in the study, and the outside was painted with white paint like a wall, and the color of the metal was not visible at all, as if it were a room protruding. The iron house was sealed everywhere, and it looked like it should have been joined by several large iron plates, but the joints were so intact that there was not a single crack at all.

This is the masterpiece of the industrial team led by Zhang Yuan, this metal room is welded together by stainless steel, and then installed through tenon joints, and only needs to be assembled layer by layer. Once installed, you only need to install the screws at the connection location. The ancients did not have screwdriver wrenches, and even if they had the ability to carry the entire house away, they could only use saws to slowly sawn the walls of the vault.

The door to the vault is a security door that opens outward, which is a rather expensive burglar-proof all-steel door with two sets of keys on it. Although several members of the executive committee believed that the ordinary security door was enough to kill all thieves in that era, Du Yande still insisted on buying the best security door. At the very least, the door won't be a weakness of the vault.

Master Huang is an eye-opener now, he never thought that this silver cellar could be cultivated like this, the silver cellar in front of him looks like two zhang in length and width, one zhang and five zhang high, and it is empty inside, enough to place tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it is not as easy to mold the silver ticket as the cellar, and his heart was also moved for a while, and he quietly pulled Du Yan aside and asked the price of the vault.

Du Yande wanted to sell this vault, speaking of which, the cost of this thing is not high, but in this time and space, it is the only scorpion, such a thing is cheap, and he suffers a loss, and people dare not buy it when it is expensive, and after thinking for a while, he offered the price.

"What? One thousand taels? Huang Shi shook his head, "It's too expensive, it's too expensive, it's too expensive to cost a thousand taels." ”

Du Yande just smiled, and a few people next to him also smiled slightly, and didn't say more. This time and space is not as good as the old time and space, and the silver here is hard currency, and it is heavy and occupies space, and there is not much silver in this vault. If it is replaced with paper money, I am afraid that I will be able to store more currency.

The biggest reason why this vault is so big is that from now on, all the traversal will be carried out in the vault, anyway, opening the wormhole in the vault will not be eye-catching, and in addition, a slave and two maids sent by Huangshi must also have a spy mission, and none of the traversers are willing to cross back and forth under the potential surveillance.

"Lao Du, come and take a look." Beiwei suddenly whispered by the side window of the study, "Don't move too much, come slowly." ”

Du Yande was stunned for a moment, and didn't pay attention to Master Huang, Huang Shi was also engrossed in carefully looking at the American maritime vault at this time, and couldn't help but touch it several times, "It's really amazing, this entire vault is made of steel, and it is easy to install and disassemble, it is really a collection of strange skills and ingenuity." ”

As slowly as he could, he paced to the window, which was a framed wooden window with slightly translucent paper glued to the windowframe. Du Yande was about to take a probe to look, but Beiwei quietly stopped him, and pointed to the pavilion in the courtyard as he spoke, "Don't move too much, follow the pavilion to the back to see the firewood house, and then turn it to the left fifteen degrees, the wall is a little strange, as if someone is watching us." ”

The latter understood, and glanced at the gazebo while chatting, and skimmed over the corner of his eye. Although Du Yande was a little short-sighted, he could easily see the two people who thought they were well hidden. These two people are all wearing black and gray night clothes, and their heads are covered with a piece of almost black and gray cloth, lying on the ridge of the main house and looking this way, to say that this posture is the same as those snipers later, the clothes they chose are the same color as the cloth used to cover their heads and the tiles on the roof, it is not easy to be found, but they forgot to cover their faces, and the two faces that are still reflecting the oil light are quite eye-catching on the roof ridge of this dusk.

"Could this be sent by Lao Huang to monitor?" Beiwei turned his head curiously to look at Huangshi, who was still tapping lightly on the vault behind him, "I have sent a family and two maids to monitor, why do you send two people to monitor it?" ”

"It shouldn't be someone sent by Lao Huang, no need, you see, the clothes they wear are chosen, it looks like they should not only be to spy on us, but also to prevent them from being discovered by the villagers patrolling the wall." Du Yande whispered, and the corners of his eyes kept looking at the two strangers.

"Scratch your tongue and come back?" The scouts in the northern latitude were addicted to coming up immediately, and the martial arts of the ancients who usually watched TV were flying all over the sky, and the action was either a landslide or a Katyusha sweeping, but he wanted to see what kind of skills those people with martial arts in this time and space had.

"Okay," Du Yande nodded, "You're a scout, you're in charge of this." ”

"Okay......" Beiwei said and was about to go out, but was stopped by Du Yan, "Are you alone?" Not planning to bring a fellow military team with you? ”

"No, I'll go and meet them first."

A few minutes later, Beiwei came back empty-handed, not even with ash on his body, but with some dirt on his right hand.

"Meow, it's really a good hand, Lao Tzu just ran away from the wall, I smashed a stone and hit one of them, but I couldn't catch up." Beiwei said regretfully, "That guy was hit in the back of the head, and he should have been injured a lot, but now it's dark, so I didn't chase him." ”

"Okay," Du Yande nodded, "Let's spend the night here tonight, we have to be more vigilant, do you think those two guys just now belong to the Huang family?" ”

Beiwei shook his head and said, "Definitely not, if you are discovered, you will jump outside the wall, and if you are hit, you will run wildly, it should be outside to spy on intelligence." ”

Wu Yong was a little worried and asked, "Since someone is already eyeing you, do you want to go back as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night?" ”

"No," Jiang Yan clearly objected, "our gold and silver inventory work here cannot be carried out now, and we must finish the inventory after dawn tomorrow before we can go back, even if we ship it back to count it now, it will be moved at least at ten o'clock in the evening to be completed." It's better to transport the gold and silver directly to the vault first, and as for these pineapple wood furniture or something, just leave it outside, presumably thieves will not steal this. ”

"Okay," Du Yande just nodded, Huang Rong walked in, saluted the people in the study and whispered, "Several lords and wives, dinner has been prepared, please move to the living room to eat." ”

Jiang Yan was stunned, "Why do you still have maids?" ”

"Yes," Du Yande had to nod again, "This is no way, it is difficult for us to stay in this time and space, such a large yard must be taken care of often, this is not only two maids, but also a slave, the deed of sale is in my hands." ”

"Hey, there's a maid!" Jiang Yan elbowed her husband Li Zhe beside her, "Do you want to get one to go home and serve you?" ”

Li Zhe stared at Huang Rong, and before he could answer for a while, Jiang Yan stepped on his toes with running shoes, "Look, haven't you seen a woman?" ”

"Where, where?" Li Zhe hurriedly withdrew his gaze, stared at Jiang Yan with an expression, held her face with both hands and said, "My wife is still the best-looking...... These ancient women are not good-looking! ”

"you, you can tell it's a lie at a glance!" Jiang Yan's heart was so beautiful that she had to make an angry expression.

"Okay, okay, the little couple closed the door at night and said, there are still minors here!" Du Yande hurriedly quipped.

He Yayun and Wu Yong glanced at each other, and at the same time protested, "We are not minors, okay!" ”

When they were seated at the table, several servants brought dishes, chopsticks, and dishes. There was a relatively large clay bowl in the middle of the table, and there was a thick oil soup inside, He Yayun picked up the spoon and turned it over, the aroma was overflowing, and a few pieces of chicken were stirred out of it. Several people suddenly had a great appetite, it was a bowl of chicken soup.

At the same time, there are several other dishes on the table, including half a white-cut chicken and a bowl of stir-fried bacon with green vegetables. There are very few slices of meat, but there are plenty of greens. The rest is just some greens, but there is a plate of cucumber slices, which are neatly arranged in a circle, and a circle of carrot slices in the middle, which shows that the knife work is very good.

This was the second time the time-travelers had tasted the dishes of the plane, and it was clear that while they looked good, they weren't very much to the tastes of the time-travelers. For example, the chicken soup has all kinds of spices in it, and all the star anise cinnamon is thrown into it, and a lot of peppercorns are thrown into it, and the tongue is numb when you eat a few people.

"I'm afraid this is a special dish of this time and space," Du Yande said helplessly, "You must know that these spices should be from the trade of this time and space, it stands to reason that they should still be quite valuable, and putting so many spices should be to reflect our status, don't complain, go back and tell them, just let them put less spices." ”

Li Zhe took a sip of the tea next to him while sipping his lips, trying to relieve the numbness in his mouth. "It's not just spices, haven't you felt it yet?"

"What don't you feel?" Several people asked in unison.

Li Zhe said mysteriously, "These dishes are a little bitter, I think it should be a matter of salt." ”

"Something wrong with the salt?" Du Yande stood up in shock, making the few slaves and maids next to him who were still serving the meal take a few steps back, "You mean nitrite?" ”

"No, no," Li Zhe laughed, "I'm not talking about that kind of poisonous salt, but these salts can only be used as industrial salt in our place, not as table salt." ”

"What do you say?" Wu Yong on the side couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Zhe's wisdom tank feelings have been fully satisfied, "You must know that salt has been a hard currency since ancient times, salt and iron are collected by the state as a daily tax, if our edible salt is put on hold, but even the emperor can't eat a good thing." ”

"You mean we sell salt too?" He Yayun asked curiously.

"Don't think about selling salt, if you want to die quickly, sell salt quickly, no matter which country has been cracking down on illegal salt since ancient times, all of them have devoted themselves wholeheartedly, even if we can provide salt, Master Huang doesn't dare to ask for it, do you still put bags on the street to sell?"

"That's not what I meant," Li Zhe shook his hand and said, "Salt has always been hard currency, and if we carry out a large-scale crossing, we must also come up with our own finished salt as soon as possible." As soon as the salt was shipped, the money immediately rolled in. Since their salt still has a bitter taste today, it means that they have no way to solve the impurities in it, and we have all kinds of information at hand, refined salt, iodized salt, pickled vegetable salt, ......" Li Zhe smiled proudly, "Who of us here can make steel?" Who knows how to make glass? Who can make a gun? We stand on the basis of 3,000 years of wisdom accumulation, and we have almost all the modern technology since the Industrial Revolution......" said with a wave of his right hand, "We can do anything!" ”
