Chapter 20: I Invite You to Eat Crabs
At this moment, I saw from a distance that Konka's men had gone out to collect prey, and they were slowly dragging the sled back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So, Shang Tao stuffed the bow and quiver into the hands of a big man not far away, and then beckoned Ye Maoyan and said, "Brother Ye, take a few people, go with me to pick a few prey, and we'll roast and eat them in a while." ”
"Uh, not quite right?" Compared with Shang Tao, Ye Maoyan's discipline value is obviously still positive.
"There's nothing bad about it, it's Konka...... Well, it was Miss Kang who asked us to pick it. Shang Tao originally wanted to say that Konka asked him to pick it, but considering that it is indeed a little impolite to call a girl by her name in this world, it is just a matter in private, and it seems a little Meng Lang to call it in public.
Now that you have crossed into such a world, you have to follow the local customs. However, let him call her Her Royal Highness the Princess, Shang Tao was a hundred unhappy, because if he called it like that, he would be a little shorter than her in terms of identity.
It's not appropriate to call her Miss Kang, I have already told her that the word Miss is equivalent to a prostitute, if she knows that she is calling her Miss Kang behind her back, she shouldn't think much about it, right?
Fortunately, the word "girl" has not been blackened, otherwise Shang Tao really doesn't know what words to use to call Konka in front of people.
Ye Maoyan had to shirk it again, trying to persuade Shang Tao to let the guards of his caravan go hunting some prey and come back, but seeing that Shang Tao had already gone straight in the direction of the comer, he had no choice but to call a few guards and chase after him quickly.
"Brother Ye, let me ask you, how many catties is your stone?" Shang Tao is still angry about Kang Jianeng pulling a stone bow, he is a big man, and he was actually beaten by a girl in terms of strength, or a little Lori who looks weak, no matter who this kind of thing is spread on his head, I am afraid that he will not be able to calculate the area of the shadow in his heart.
"Well, this depends on what it is loaded, the things are different, and the weight is naturally different."
"Oh, so 'stone' is a unit of capacity?" Shang Tao suddenly realized.
"What's the capacity?"
"Well, that's a bit more about that. Brother Shang, I don't know how many catties of pulling force a stone bow is equivalent to? ”
"A stone bow is naturally equivalent to a hundred catties, that is, two fingers can lift a hundred catties of heavy objects to a half-person-high position, and you can pull a stone bow."
"How much does that pound weigh?" Shang Tao has the impression that the ancient unit of measurement is different from the modern one, so will the unit of measurement in this world be different from the earth?
"Uh......"
This simple question actually stopped Ye Maoyan, but Ye Maoyan was not stupid after all, and immediately reacted: "Brother Shang Xian wants to ask you if your world is equal to our pound, right?" ”
"Yes, that's what I meant."
Subsequently, the two listed the weights of many objects to compare, but did not come to a precise conclusion. In the end, Shang Tao ran back and took out an electronic scale from the house, and weighed a wild sheep by weighing a rod scale that Ye Maoyan asked people to take, and finally accurately came to the measurement difference between the two worlds, and one pound in this world is equal to 684 grams.
In other words, the pulling force required for a stone bow in this world is equal to 68.4 kilograms, which is equivalent to a heavy bow of 150 pounds, and Shang Tao was instantly frightened by this result.
No wonder he can only barely pull Konka's one-stone bow with all his strength, you must know that on the earth, those who can open a 60-pound bow are considered to be more professional people who play bows, and they can barely pull away a 150-pound heavy bow, although they only pulled it twice, although they only lasted two or three seconds each time, but it is already very awesome, okay?
But compared with Konka, he is a scumbag, this Nima is not scientific, not scientific at all! Except that her chest muscles are not as developed as hers, she is much stronger than her no matter how you look at it.
"Brother Ye, in your world, girls can shoot a stone bow?" Shang Tao couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"That's not enough, Miss Kang can shoot a stone bow for a girl, which is really an anomaly." Ye Maoyan explained.
Hearing Ye Maoyan say this, Shang Tao felt a little better in his heart, if he was in this world, he would be crushed by all women in terms of strength alone, then it would be better to die.
"However, for the army, a stone bow is the most basic requirement. Some talented warriors can even shoot a five-stone bow. Ye Maoyan added.
Shang Tao's mood was just better, but it deteriorated in an instant, so he still couldn't escape the fate of a weak chicken.
Shang Tao simply stopped dwelling too much on this frustrating question, and instead asked, "Brother Ye, how many feet are you stepping up?" Miss Kang asked her men to set up the target thirty paces away, how could I look so far away as sixty paces? ”
"This may be Brother Shang Xian, you have misunderstood, we here, adults take one step on each foot on the left and right, so the distance between one step is almost five feet."
Shang Tao was speechless, how could any unit in this world be larger than the earth.
Ten minutes later, Shang Tao picked seven or eight prey from those sleds, and followed Ye Maoyan and the others back to the camp that the Ye family caravan had just set up.
Naturally, Shang Tao didn't have to do anything about dealing with the prey and preparing for the barbecue, so he sat with Ye Maoyan and chatted about some new things in the world without saying a word.
At this moment, Shang Tao heard footsteps coming from behind him, turned his head and saw that he had seen someone who came, it should be Konka's personal maid.
When the little girl saw Shang Tao looking at her, she paused slightly, and immediately walked two quick steps to Shang Tao, and then blessed her body slightly, and said, "Shang Gongzi, my young lady invites you to come over." ”
"Oh, I don't know why your young lady invited me over?"
"My young lady wants to ask you, what is the kind of thing with a pair of scorpion chelas in the small pond in front of your house, and can you eat it?"
"Oh, that's called a crab, why don't you have it here?"
The little girl shook her head blankly, obviously she had never heard of it.
"Brother Shang Xian, you still have crabs? I remember that this crab is a good thing only in the coastal places thousands of miles away, and this crab can be sold for dozens of taels of silver in our Jinling, because it has to be transported from the coast tens of thousands of miles away to Jinling, just the ice consumed along the way, it will cost a lot of money. ”
"What? Won't you bring live crabs to Jinling to breed? Wouldn't this save the cost of transportation? Shang Tao asked curiously.
"There are people who want to ......"
"Hey, no, you said that Jinling is tens of thousands of miles away from the sea? Isn't Jinling close to the sea? Shang Tao suddenly interrupted Ye Maoyan's words.
Ye Maoyan shook his head blankly.
"Okay, you go on."
"There are businessmen who want to transport live crabs back to Jinling for farming, but they all die before they go out of a few hundred miles, and even if they are hundreds of miles apart, the taste of the crabs farmed is much worse than that of the wild ones. Therefore, no one tried to bring the crabs back to Jinling for farming. ”
"Master Shang, my young lady is still waiting." At this time, the little girl finally opened her mouth to urge.
"Oh, okay, okay. Brother Ye, let's go, I'll invite you to eat crabs. With that, Shang Tao took Ye Maoyan with him, followed behind the little girl, and walked in the direction of his house.
