Chapter 21 A Moment of Everyday Life
What happened to me on this day was more than in Liangshan for a few months, could it be that after the usual hardship, my protagonist aura finally began to work.
After returning from Haishi, I was in a state of confusion until it was dark, and when I had dinner, I still didn't know how to eat, and my brain was still messy.
It's easy to get rid of the smell of chewing wax, and then start counting what you've gotten today. It's just that
When the things that the dead ghost Lao Bai got from him were spread out on the table, my hands were still a little trembling, and among the bits and pieces of money, the most conspicuous thing was the jade ring with small words engraved on it, I couldn't help sighing, this is the last memorial left to me by this old guy who only has one side.
Originally, he said that he could use this thing to find a store under the command of a joint firm called Nan Fung and seek assistance as a related household. But it doesn't seem to be very reliable at the moment.
Seeing that he couldn't do anything, the owner of the Kang boat immediately pulled out anchor and went to sea, not even the furnishings built on the shore and the goods that were brought here, and he slipped away under his nose outside, not knowing what else would happen. If he wasn't stupid enough, this line wouldn't have given up lightly.
Luckily, we didn't get up close and personal. In this way, even if he has other means to identify my appearance, he may not know my information in Liangshan, the sea market is so big and there are so many people, as long as I don't deliberately appear, the eyeliner and possible potential eyes and ears he left behind, the probability of finding me is really unattainable.
Then there is the money that Lao Bai handed over to me before he died, all of which were portable gold and silver coins with large denominations, three large gold treasures, seven small gold treasures, and more than a dozen large silver treasures, as a number of white coins and blue eyes as change.
But what is really valuable is the few pieces of paper-like documents, which are divided into two styles, one is flying money, and the other is a ticket.
In my previous memory, the so-called flying money is a kind of fixed face value, paid at sight, similar to a large amount of money of a check, but according to the credit and strength of its own issuance, when redeeming or direct transactions, the discount and deduction are different;
The three flying coins in my hand were issued by the South China Sea Money Union, and even if they are in the north or outside the Saiwai, they also have the corresponding circulation value and recognition.
The voucher is more like an anonymous deposit certificate or a savings card, but this kind of certificate does not need other proof, as long as there is a corresponding secret deposit and seal. Like this voucher, although it is issued by a local cash cabinet in Quang Nam, because it has the signature and security of the Nanhai Society, it can also be cashed in other joint venture banks or ticket houses, but the handling fee is charged in proportion according to the distance.
But whether it is flying money or tickets, they are all printed quite exquisitely, so delicate that you can clearly see the sesame-sized fonts and numbers printed between the patterns. As the paper of the money ticket itself, it is also quite flexible, smooth and wear-resistant, and there are even anti-counterfeiting measures such as glyphs and clip marks with a full sense of texture.
The level of anti-counterfeiting craftsmanship is partially close to modern times, and you don't need to think about it to know who is the initiator.
This also means that, at least before the troubled times, the financial services and business activities in the context of this time and space line have been fully and significantly developed, so that there is enough economic aggregate and demand scale to maintain the pursuit and investment of excellence in these financial projects and corresponding documents.
Although it is a time of turmoil in the current dynasty, it is not difficult to understand the significance of these things when you think of the huge territory and population of the foreign domain, as well as the frequent and intensive commercial activities on land and sea.
Among them, it seems that the voucher with the largest denomination is obviously useless, because Lao Bai has already hung up. The remaining three flying coins became my final basis. However, this kind of thing is useless on Liangshan, and it is still the traditional circulation of real gold, silver, precious metals and copper coins, which is more effective.
I pondered, stacked the coins, and played with them. Until the sound of the door slamming remembered.
Aguta came in with a figure. Only then did I remember that there was another addition to today's harvest.
I glanced at the figure wrapped in tattered felt, untied the tie around my neck, but I left the holster, and
"Open your mouth ......"
I pinched her's chin and pulled it down, taking a closer look at her mouth like an animal.
Well, the teeth look neat, the glaze is worn very little, the gums are not very receding due to malnutrition, and there are no signs of injury or infection.
"The mouth is good, it seems that I haven't suffered anything before......"
I couldn't help muttering, this means that she is not too old, and her previous diet structure is much better than that of ordinary people.
The sunken chin is pointed, and the one in her hand is very cute, but the contour of the cheek bones is very symmetrical, so that her original appearance will not be too crooked, although the shrunken skin on her face makes her look wrinkled a lot and her forehead is very wide.
When I was doing this qiē, the other party was like a pair of fluttering puppets, at my mercy, her body was cold and not like a human being, only the feeling of feeling the pulse of the blood vessel protrusions hidden under the skin, and the fact that she was still a "living person".
Of course, this mess of knowledge is partly due to the boring incidents of my previous life management forum, and partly because of the early memories in this body, a vague memory that seems to have been taught to me by someone to concoct it in a little girl.
Due to the lack of nutrients and moisture, the tarnished skin tightens against the skeleton, taking on a dull turmeric color.
The shoulders and ribs, the redness and swelling of the whipping scars and whips, the bruises and bruises, and the old and the new are intertwined, which is very shocking, and it is obvious that at the beginning, because of resistance and various reasons for non-cooperation, there was no less suffering. However, the other party carefully avoided those parts that might hurt the organs, so these wounds still have a chance to heal well.
I moved and stretched gently, and the tendons in the joints of my hands and feet were not harmed, so that I could undertake most of the labor and work, without worrying about raising chicken ribs like a waste person.
Then I hesitated, pulled open the felt that covered the lower half of my body, and used the parallel palms as a size to gauge her shriveled pelvis.
Well, it is still within the category suitable for birth and breeding, and I pinched the tail vertebrae, and there are no protrusions and deformities caused by those heavy labors, I continue to check,
I took a deep breath and moved my gaze to the crotch and removed the only cover, she seemed to twitch, but when I looked over, she still looked half-dead.
"I'm ......"
With just one look, I was blown away by the stench and filth, and your sister's incontinence was dry and sticking together. If I look at it again, my dinner and lunch will be in vain.
I didn't want to check it anymore, so I called a bone to come in,
Wearing gloves, she ripped off what she was wrapped in, and then picked it outside with a twig to burn it, God knows how many microbes and fleas were hidden inside.
Then take out some homemade charcoal and turn the stove hot.
"Go wash it and don't come near me with a stinking ......"
"Don't worry, just your ribs, let alone touching it, I'll have nightmares when I see it,"
"Even if you want to use it, you have to wait until you get fat...... Now what do you have, except bones or bones. ”
Although she still looked dumbfounded, dragged around by me and unresponsive, I couldn't help but talk to myself, as a kind of catharsis for what I had seen and heard during the day.
After half a ring,
A heavy bucket of hot water was poured on her head, and the hot water poured down, making her reflexively stand up, and her dry expression seemed to be much more vivid.
Then another barrel was placed on her side, and she began to struggle, and the hysterical horror was scattered all over the ground with the splashing of water, but her body was so thin, but she was lightly suppressed by me, like a piece of salted pork or dead fish, pressed into a large tank, and then began to cook and fry.
"Don't move, I've managed to clean up here, but I don't want you to bring lice in again......"
I twisted her hands and feet viciously, even as the joints made a buzz sound, and glared into her eyes.
"Either let me wash you up, or I'll throw you in the river to wash you clean...... I believe that more people are willing to watch."
Then she didn't move again.
"The first rule here is to be clean and hygienic, otherwise I would rather throw you out and feed the wolves, and there is no shortage of hungry beasts outside this mountain."
I kept busy, and kept chattering.
Under the continuous washing of the hot water, except for the ribs or ribs, the shame and desire were temporarily thrown aside. The thin skeletal face with no visible expression was also somewhat bloody, and a pair of dark eyes seemed to have a little spirit.
Holding the big brush of the brush horse dipped in water and rubbing it vigorously, the gray-black dirt and turbidity flowed, during which her exposed skin was rubbed red, and even some broken skin, but it was still indifferent, her stiff body was like a dead fish, and the sound of gritting teeth exposed some of her feelings.
With the help of Ah Guta, after sweating profusely, I finally got this private property, and after wrapping it in a large curtain, I looked like I was half dead, as if the hoarse person who was desperately struggling and couldn't scream during the bath was just an irrelevant person.
Today, because it is the first time to make a profit, so I bought back ready-made food, the variety and amount will be much richer, I picked out the leftover soup, and put it on the fire pit with the cold rice left over from the noon and stirred it a dozen times, and put it on a wooden plate, curled up in front of her again.
This is my unique recipe for sick food - cat rice, a skill that was forced out by my younger brother who lived alone in college in the early years, because he was really tired of the taste of various instant noodles. "You're going to order three from today,"
I slowly walked out to myself to commemorate the three small silver treasures I had bought.
"Let's start a gang with Ah Guda in the future."
After a few moments, I heard the sound of bumping and swallowing coming from the retraction, and at least I could communicate without being completely dumbfounded.
"If there is anything, let's take care of our body first......"
I sat down and muttered to myself into the air
"Even if you want to escape, you have to have the strength to do it."
"If you want to run, it doesn't matter, remember to run farther, it's a big deal I'll dig a pit and bury it directly in the place where you died......"
"Where can you run to this cold day, let alone the mountains full of sentinels, do you swim along the river to the sea......"
I was only able to respond with a blank expression and a backwater-like look on my face, and I put down a broken door panel, took out a piece of leather and broken felt, and motioned for her to sleep on the ground.
I'm not a bad person who talks about demeanor and equality, if you want to get preferential treatment, you must at least have the corresponding capital, such as being able to warm the bed, and selling shade or something.
As a result, when I was sleepy in the morning, I almost tripped over her, and the dead woman, disgusted with the cold, rolled onto the edge of my bed, which was made of thick fur and mattress.
The business of the sea market continues,
On the second day, the income was much less than on the first day, only twenty-one, and then on the third day, it was a little less, only seventeen, and on the fourth day, it was even less, and only nine were left, and so on.
On the one hand, it is because the good things I collected and sorted out in the miscellaneous warehouse are sold, and on the other hand, the imitation and copycat of my business methods and creative peers have begun to appear and increase gradually.
Therefore, in the next few days of the sea market, all that could be recovered was some things that could be bartered.
The total income is about eighty or ninety yuan, which is considered a small fortune, and there are tens of thousands of yuan in copper coins, which is enough for a medium-sized family for several months. It's just that at least half of them have to be handed over to gain the acquiescence and approval of some people for me to continue to harm the public and private interests and to drum up my own things.
However, compared to the last gift I received from Lao Bai, it was nothing, and all he carried with him were some portable large sums of gold and silver, and among those few pieces of paper, the smallest ticket was taken out, far more than the income of our business these days.
But in order to have a proper reason and cover, I had to take a bone to practice the stall of going out early and returning late, just like the various rat workers and wholesale cheap gifts on holidays in the college days, and peddling pocket money on campus to earn pocket money.
I took Ah Guda out to set up the stall, and then came back with the things I bought, and slowly trained and trained this new member.
I tried to get her to do some simple and less laborious work, but unfortunately she was very bad, and she couldn't even make the bed and fold the quilt, and I punished her many times, although she couldn't do much work, but she ate a lot.
This makes me regret and entanglement in the hard way of riding a tiger.
In the blink of an eye, the lively sea market is in the drifting snow rice, and it comes to an end, at this time.
The chief steward of the various warehouses on the mountain, Lu Baiyan suddenly sent someone to deliver the message. In order to entertain the representatives of the sea clan who came with the ship group this time, the big chief announced that Liangshan would be up and down and there would be a banquet for one day. As one of the few logistics personnel, I actually have to attend.
