Chapter 50: A Possible Plague of Locusts

Shi Lei in his previous life was a person with a very wide range of hobbies, after all, the sage Zhuge Kongming once said: "I know a little bit about everything, and my life is more exciting." Whether it is the martial arts that men like, hot and cold weapons, cars, or other sports and fitness, Shi Lei has been involved, not all of them are masters here, at least it is no problem to be a qualified keyboard warrior.

But if you want to say that Shi Lei loves the most, it must be reading books, to be precise, reading online novels. Shi Lei has insisted on this hobby for more than ten years, from saving money to rent a bookstore to borrow books to read, to chasing updates in Internet cafes all night, until finally going to work, reading novels is still Shi Lei's biggest pastime and hobby, and it can be said that it has become a habit of Shi Lei.

Such an old bookworm with years of age has undoubtedly read the sacred books that were popular in the world in those years, and "************" is destined to be the one that left a deep impression on Shi Lei.

The sassy and heroic posture of the wind chime knight in the book has always lingered in Shi Lei's mind, so one day, Shi Lei coquettishly called his subordinates wind chime iron riders or something, and there was no need to be surprised at all.

In addition, Shi Lei's most impressive thing is naturally the pair of twin beautiful maids named Yu Linglong in the book. Shi Lei has fantasized countless times that he can also have such a pair of intimate little maids, but he really didn't expect it to appear so really.

Of course, this also has something to do with Shi Lei's situation after coming to this world, surrounded by a group of rough old men, and he can't even see a little maid with fine skin and tender meat, and when he suddenly sees such two little beauties, he naturally has a feeling of amazement.

"Knock knock" Shi Lei knocked on the wall next to the bed.

"What's the matter, master?" The response of the two Yu Linglong sisters immediately came from next door.

The walls were too thin, and the grass house was prepared too hastily at that time, not to mention the wind leaking everywhere, anyway, it could barely shelter from the wind and rain.

Living so close, you can hear each other when you fart on both sides, and you can live with your own maid, but you don't have to worry about not hearing it when you shout.

"It's okay, just to say hi to you. Good night, I'm really glad to have you on board. After Shi Lei finished speaking, he turned sideways and fell asleep.

"We're glad too, host." The Yu Linglong sisters smiled sweetly and whispered.

The next day, Shi Lei got up refreshed, and once again enjoyed the treatment of an uncle who stretched out his hands for clothes and opened his mouth for food, and fully felt the benefits of having a maid.

"Go play. By the way, I'm going to take the stupid hair, it still has work to do. Shi Lei waved his hand to the sisters.

Shi Lei put the reluctant stupid hair on his shoulder, leaving Xiao Jin, who was very happy, completely ignoring the eye knife that his master gouged over.

Wait, sooner or later, the master will take your pillows and make you scold, hum.

first threw the stupid hair to the hunter uncle who was about to start work, Shi Lei faced this little troublemaker, and the ear mentioned that he was killed for a long time before he was driven out by the impatient hunter uncle.

Dumb Mao danced at Shi Lei's back, and there were words in his mouth, probably learning from Shi Lei's appearance, counting down him, an incompetent master.

Seeing Shi Lei's sweeping eyes, Dull Mao immediately sat upright, looking at Shi Lei with blank eyes, pretending to be reluctant.

When Shi Lei turned around, it germinated in a solid state again. Until the hunter uncle, who couldn't stand it, carried him and walked towards the forest together.

The blind Tufu who was contacted by the housekeeper had been blindfolded by the guards and taken to the ancient tomb. This will be waiting for Uncle Hunter to come over so that the diggings can be officially opened. This little guy has to work with him.

Shi Lei wandered around and went to discuss things with the housekeeper uncle.

Recently, in order to ensure that all the guards are all embarrassed, and they don't have to set off with a blue nose and swollen face, which will also destroy their own prestige, so Shi Lei's group beating training has been suspended. The three uncles are also very busy, and Shi Lei can only take some time to train by himself every day, so as not to give birth to his hands.

After all, since ancient times, it has been important to keep a fist in your hand and a song in your mouth. If you practice diligently, you can become familiar with the muscles of the body to the point of turning into the body's muscle memory, in that case, you don't need to go through the brain at all, the body reacts on its own, and the speed is much faster.

In this case, Shi Lei has also been leisurely every day.

"Uncle Butler, how is the caravan prepared?" Shi Lei is also accustomed to talking about business first every time he sees the housekeeper.

"All kinds of goods that the caravan needs. The inventory has been completed, and the big shopkeeper is old Yangtou. In terms of taking care of these goods and guards, half of the guards were chosen. Follow them.

But this time the old hunter still has something to do, so I arranged for the old blacksmith to follow them to take a look, although the little thieves on the road are basically cleaned up, and those who don't open their eyes are buried by us, but the force still has to be guaranteed. ”

The housekeeper is always very serious when he talks about these things, and he is definitely thoughtful enough, Shi Lei is just habitually concerned about the progress.

"For those ornamental fish, I specially arranged for some guards from the waterway to watch and contact the boats of the Cao Gang, they have always only been in charge of transporting goods, no matter what the goods are, of course they can afford the price."

I don't know why, when I heard Uncle Housekeeper talk about this, Shi Lei always had the feeling that Uncle Housekeeper had done important roles such as Thirty-six Lianbao and Seventy-two Dockyard Masters, could it be that Uncle Housekeeper's recklessness was too heavy?

"Those dealers who go out to do small business will set off with Lao Yangtou and them, and they will take care of each other. Of course, part of the proceeds this time will be left in Yizhou, and then find more stores and get a pet store you said. ”

"Oh, Uncle Butler, you have arranged it very thoughtfully. On the return trip this time, can they bring more silkworms back, I think it's time for us to develop silkworm farming. Shi Lei nodded back.

"Well, I was negligent on my part. Almost everyone in Shu raises silkworms, which is a big entry for ordinary people, so let them collect more around.

In addition, I received a letter that there is a locust plague in Guanzhong, do you want the caravan to bring more food back?

Just counting on the grain produced in this small place in Yazhou, if there is really a catastrophe, it will definitely not be enough, and the price will not be speculated to the sky at that time. Uncle Housekeeper said with a somewhat solemn face.

"Huh? Our Zhuangzi in Chang'an is okay, right? Shi Lei asked anxiously, Shi Lei didn't know much about the situation over there, and the housekeeper uncle was taking care of it.

"It's okay, there are not many people in total, and I also asked people to send some money over there before, so I don't have to worry about supporting myself, and I don't expect the output over there anyway." Uncle Butler waved his hand absently.

"Oh, that's good. Of course, we have to hoard some food, and we don't panic when we have food in our hands, but the food we have here hasn't come out yet.

In addition, I was thinking about whether I could get the caravan to come back and get some locusts back, whether the locusts were dried or simply locust powder, and as long as they weren't alive, they wouldn't bring the scourge over. Well, let's pay for it. ”

Shi Lei's eyes lit up, and an idea popped up again. Locusts are a good source of protein to eat, whether fried or used as animal feed, and should not be wasted.

Although the housekeeper didn't understand the use of this thing, he didn't say anything more considering all the magic that happened to Shi Lei.

Now that the family has money, it doesn't take much money to accompany Shi Lei to mess around. If it's really useful, it's going to make a big profit.

The few isms given by Shi Lei have not failed, and they have all made money for the family. Even tinkering with food is about to become a big industry.
