Chapter 9 Beads or Gold?

"Uncle Yang, don't shirk anymore, I returned from overseas, I first arrived in the Central Plains, I am not familiar with the place, I borrowed it in your hometown for a while, there is a lot of disturbance, if you see me like this, I will leave now." Cheng Wu has always been very respectful to the old man, and after speaking, he pretended to turn around and leave.

Seeing that Cheng Wu was about to leave, Uncle Yang was so frightened that he hurriedly put down his grandson and grabbed Cheng Wu's sleeve, who was about to turn around and leave, and said: "Okay, Cheng Gongzi, it's all up to you, hey, it's just to let you break the bank, I'm really embarrassed, then please at home." He said and made a gesture of please.

"That's right, we meet because of fate, it doesn't matter if he spends his money or not" After walking, he walked in front and walked towards the courtyard of the Yang family.

Hearing the conversation between Uncle Yang and Cheng Wu, a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old came out, and when he saw that it was a stranger, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Uncle Yang following behind, he knew that there was a guest today, and he shouted loudly with joy: "Aye, are you a guest?" ”

"Well, there is a distinguished guest today, hurry up to Lizheng's house to borrow some food, see if you can borrow something back, and say that you will promise to return him another day." Yang Bo hugged his grandson and said.

Hearing his father's words, the young man who was happy just now suddenly darkened his face. There is nothing of value left at home, what will you pay back another day? I borrowed it from the village chief a few times, but no one gave it to me, and this time I will definitely have to waste my strength in vain. But he had to listen to his father's words, so he could only answer the door with a cheeky voice and walk towards Lizheng's house.

Cheng Wu, who saw everything in his eyes, slightly followed the middle-aged man who was 4 years older than him out of the Yang family and stopped the middle-aged. It turns out that the son of Yang Bo is named Yang Hu, 25 years old this year, this age is left in the Tang Dynasty, the legal age of marriage in the Tang Dynasty is 12-13 years old for women, and men start at the age of 15, Yang Hu can not find a daughter-in-law because of the poverty of the family, in the village before last to save his daughter-in-law who fainted from hunger in the village, and finally the girl who had no way out looked at Yang Hu honestly, the Yang family has a life-saving grace for themselves, and they have no relatives and no reason, think about it, and finally agreed to marry Yang Hu, and gave birth to a little Yang Yang in the second year.

Cheng Wu knew that if nothing else, Yang Hu would definitely return empty-handed, so Cheng Wu thought about it just now, and finally decided, and took a glass bead, that's right, this is the glass bead of checkers, originally Cheng Wu stuffed it into his bag when he went out in the morning, and when he was ready to be free, he played checkers with a few old friends, recalling the scene of physical education class in middle school, but he didn't expect to come together. Cheng Wu knew that this glass was not available in the Tang Dynasty, and a few of them were also in very poor condition, or they were sold by the Hu people, and the price was ridiculously expensive, which Cheng Wu saw when he saw a doctoral dissertation on the Internet before. How expensive it is, the specific price, Cheng Wu doesn't know.

Cheng Wu took one out of his pocket, the red color in the middle like a triangular petal is very good-looking, Cheng Wu handed it over and said to Yang Hu: "Brother Yang, you take this, I believe that the things of the Lizheng family are not so easy to lend us, this glass, uh, he really won't borrow this glass when the time comes, you take it out and exchange it with him, I believe you can exchange a lot of things." Cheng Wu said. Cheng Wu thought about it, there is no glass at this time, and the glass at this time is still called glass.

Looking at such a beautiful glass, Yang Hu took the red beads with trembling hands and said, "Cheng Gongzi, how can we exchange such a valuable thing from you for money, if we let Aya know, we have to break XX's leg." "The eyes were wide open, like a child seeing candy.

After two back and forth resignations, Cheng Wu had to go out in person and go to the village chief's house with Yang Hu.

To be honest, if this is taken to the pawnshop in the county, it will definitely be more than this price, but isn't it urgent now, the whole family has nothing to eat, especially seeing Xiao Yang Yang's hungry eyes, Cheng Wu still decided to go to Lizheng's house to take a look, to see if there is anything worth changing, if there are really some delicious things, Cheng Wu will change it with him, anyway, there are 74 in his backpack.

"Uncle Huang, where are you at home?" Yang Hu walked into Li Zheng's home and greeted him. As the saying goes, raise your hand and don't hit the smiling person, looking at the smiling Yang Hu, no matter how angry Li Zheng is, he has to vent three points when he sees the laughter, right?

Don't look at Yang Hu's whole person in front of Yang Bo, but Yang Hu, who left Yang Bo, immediately changed as if he was a person, very active, even Cheng Wu was surprised, if Cheng Wu hadn't followed him all the way, he really couldn't recognize the young man in front of him. Is this still the wooden young man who was in front of Yang Bo just now?

Seeing Yang Hu's face, his face was a little cloudy, obviously, from the moment he saw Yang Hu, he guessed the purpose of coming, so he didn't need to give Yang Hu any good look, turned around and walked towards the house, completely ignoring the embarrassment of Cheng Wu, a stranger, being present.

It seems that this Lizheng is not a good bird, Cheng Wu thought in his heart.

Yang Hu entered uninvited, followed Li Zheng to the spacious living room, Li Zheng asked angrily: "Yang Hu, if you come to borrow food from me today, then you don't have to open that mouth, lest everyone is not good, you also know, everyone has no harvest this year, and I myself am also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself, so ...... it" said and deliberately dragged the words behind it for a long time, looked at Yang Hu, and then lowered his head and drank the black greasy soup that I don't know what it was, and didn't speak again, which means to say, So if you want to borrow food, it's better not to open your mouth, and at the same time tell Yang Hu that the host's appearance proves that it's time for the guest to leave, don't you see the host's face, like an old inkstone?

Cheng Wu, who was standing behind Yang Hu, thought to himself, as he expected, this official, no matter which dynasty or generation, is not a good bird, and the same is true of the Tang Dynasty, fortunately, two sets of plans were prepared today, and the first party was rejected as expected, and then it was time to implement Plan B.

"Lord Lizheng, we didn't come here this time to borrow things from you for nothing, we wanted to exchange things for food with you." Cheng Wu stepped forward from behind Yang Hu and said politely to Li Zheng. Although Cheng Wu had already scolded all the women in the Lizheng family in his heart, he still had to give the smile that should be given on the surface, he was not familiar with everything here, and it was better to be careful before he was familiar with everything.

"Oh, who are you, do you know that food is very expensive these days, and I don't know if you have anything that deserves me to exchange food for you in this natural disaster?" Li Zheng watched a strangely dressed young man walk out behind Yang Hu, frowned, glanced at Cheng Wu, and continued to drink his "thick ink" and asked.

"In Xia Cheng Wu is a relative of Uncle Yang, I don't want to embarrass you when I come over today, I want to take out my own ancestral treasure to exchange some food with you, as long as Li Zheng you give it fairly, we will make a deal." Cheng Wu deliberately said the word ancestral word heavily.

"Oh......? Ancestral, hehe, interesting, take it out quickly, let someone take a look. Hearing the word ancestor, Li Zheng raised his head and asked with a smiling face.

When he saw the glass beads of checkers that Cheng Wu took out, his eyes were shining and he stared at the beads in Cheng Wu's hand, swallowed his saliva greedily, and asked uncertainly: "Is this what you said you said to be exchanged?" ”

Li Zheng, who was affirmed by Cheng Wu, smiled even more, carefully took the beads in Cheng Wu's hand, and happily shouted outside: "Come on, serve tea!"

Now Cheng Wu is a little embarrassed, it turns out that the ink-like things in the tea bowl just now like the color in the ditch in the previous life are tea, and now he also has a bowl in front of him, so that Cheng Wu doesn't know how to do it now, looking at the surface with a layer of greasy and greasy lard-like things, I don't know what it is, hey, I want to vomit when I look at it, how can I drink it.

Cheng Wu also knew that the current food was expensive, and in the end, the two reached an exchange, and Cheng Wu's small checkers beads were exchanged for Lizheng modern millet in the natural disaster situation of the second year of Zhenguan, about two stones, which is about two hundred and forty catties, plus sixty catties of rice and two catties of beef jerky. This is already quite good, others don't know, Cheng Wu knows what kind of goods the beads are, in the final analysis, they are just toys, don't say it's two bags, if Li Zheng said it was a bag just now, Cheng Wu probably has to change it, you must know that in this year of natural disasters, food is more expensive than gold, and now you have no place to buy food.

The two sides happily reached a deal, Cheng Wu and Yang Hu happily carried things to the house, Cheng Wu carried a bag of 120 pounds of millet all the way to the house, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was not like in his previous life, he climbed the stairs and was out of breath, but was very energetic, what the hell is going on?
