Chapter Twenty-Six: Stupid
Time flies, quicksand flies dust.
Meron was lying on the grass with Erlang's legs crossed, his eyes half-open and half-closed, like an old man basking in the sun, humming an unknown little song, smirking twice from time to time, looking extremely leisurely.
Four days had passed since the purchase of refined salt, and at the moment it was long since it was far from the territory of Tranburn.
In the past few days, Meron has often giggled and laughed when he slept last night, which caused Yalina and others to be frightened, thinking that he had committed his old problem again.
It's been smart for a while, if you're stupid again, then what's the matter!
"Ahem, Lord Viscount, lunch is ready." Jamie poked his head over and glanced at Meron and saw that his state was not too abnormal, so he said weakly.
"Oh? So fast? Let's enjoy the delicious lunch together, ahahaha! ”
Standing up, Meron laughed three times, causing everyone to look sideways for a while, and the worry was even stronger.
Meron didn't even look at everyone, picked up a roast rabbit leg and took a big bite and began to chew, but he didn't chew a few bites, and half of the meat fell out.
Why!
Because he grinned, he seemed to have cramps with laughter, and he seemed to have hurt something that he couldn't close his mouth with joy......
Yalina, who was sitting on one side, frowned, holding the food in her hand but never moving, and kept looking at Meron from the side, the more she looked at the embroidered eyebrows, the tighter she wrinkled.
"Are you alright?" After four or five minutes, Yalina finally couldn't help but ask.
Yalina had wanted to ask this for a long time, and she didn't know when she began to care about Meron, but she didn't know how to speak based on her face and cold habits.
Man is a strange creature, and sometimes the suppression is not relieved, but only intensifies, and this is also true of Yalina.
Now that I asked it, the stuffy breath that I was holding down loosened a lot.
"Me? What can I do? Meron, who was having fun, blinked before he reacted, because there was food in his mouth and his speech was slurred.
However, Yalina still understood, looked at Meron seriously, pointed to her head and said, "Do you feel uncomfortable here, are you ......?"
Speaking of which, Yalina had a hard time speaking, which was one of the reasons why she never asked.
It feels strange to ask if there is something wrong with people's heads.
"Poof, ahem......"
Missing the right place in one breath, Meron almost choked to death.
Although Yalina didn't say it explicitly, the hint was really good, and Meron was a person with a 'criminal record', so she naturally knew what it meant.
After breathing a sigh of relief, he noticed that everyone's eyes were strange, and Meron hurriedly said, "What can I do?" Okay very! These days are happy for the day's harvest, you know? ”
With this explanation, Meron was almost choked to death again, six of the eight members of the escort team shook their heads, and the remaining two said directly: "I don't understand!" ”
Everyone also knows what the harvest of that day was, which is the treasure trove of Tong Laga.
That day, under the leadership of Tong Laga, he went to a hidden cave and was very disappointed when he saw the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave is so small that most people have to crouch down to get in, and a big guy like Jamie can only get in by lying on his stomach.
With such a hole, people don't think there is much to hide in it.
However, people's strength and IQ will always exceed expectations, and there is something else in the hole, which is a space the size of three or four houses, and there are all kinds of treasured things, but they are all boutiques.
No less than 100 catties of refined salt are just appetizers, metal parts removed from various weapons, animal skins, cloth, and even about five catties of silver, and even crystal tableware.
These things took two pack ox carts to pull them away, and they were still so pressed that the pack ox couldn't pull them.
After getting such a lot of good things, everyone was so happy that they almost jumped up, but if they were so happy that Meron was stupid, they still couldn't understand it.
Besides, it's been a few days, and the excitement has subsided.
Rubbing his brain, Meron knew that he had to pay some words to share his happiness: "Do you think that the silver is the most valuable?" ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded without hesitation.
About 100 catties of refined salt is only five taels of silver, which is only half a catty.
There are a lot of weapon parts in that pile, a few thousand catties, and they are still finished metal, but they are still a little worse than five catties of silver.
There are a lot of hides, but they are not very valuable, and they are worth about the same as those refined salts.
The cloth is precious and rare, but not too much, and it is estimated that it is the amount of thirty taels of silver, that is, three catties.
As for those crystal tableware, they are the rarest and most precious, but this thing can't be sold, even if those earls only get one or two pieces to play with, there is no market at all.
The value of things without a market will be greatly reduced, and those who can see but cannot be eaten, and those who are not hungry or thirsty.
The price of crystal products is higher than five catties of silver, but it is far less useful than silver in people's hearts.
When these things were moved out of Tong Laga's treasure house, Yalina made a count and shared them with everyone.
"Hey!"
Looking at everyone's expressions, Meron knew the answer, sighed, a little helpless, and a faint sadness.
These people are their own henchmen, otherwise they would not have been brought out.
Especially Yalina, who is her future wife, wants to sleep in the same bed, rely on each other until she grows old, and enjoy the prosperity of the world together.
There is no greater sorrow in the world than this, not being able to share the happiness in time, but this cannot be blamed on them.
"You're all wrong, the silver is a lot, but it's not the most valuable." Taking a deep breath, Meron calmed herself down and spoke.
"Isn't silver the most valuable?" Yalina wondered.
That's about five catties of silver, and it's not five taels, let alone five coins!
After learning about the preciousness of silver in Fort Dubai last time, Yalina understood the meaning of these five catties of silver, and used it enough to raise the life of the territory to a higher level.
It was useless to say anything more, Meron stood up and beckoned to everyone: "Follow me!" ”
With that, Meron walked to the cart and lifted the hides from the cover.
"Lord Viscount, this is just some copper lumps, and there should be no silver worth." Jamie looked at the exposed copper bumps, scratched his head, and wondered.
A smile appeared at the corner of Merlon's mouth, and he pointed to the copper bumps and said, "You take a closer look at these copper bumps. ”
Hearing this, everyone observed carefully, but they all shook their heads in unison after not looking at it for a while.
However, Yalina carefully observed each piece of copper, and at this time she had not said anything, and Meron did not interrupt, waiting quietly.
Suddenly, Yalina stepped forward, picked up a few copper lumps and shook them, which should be a test weight.
"These three pieces of copper are a little different from the others in color, and the weight is not right, it's just ......" Putting down the copper lump in her hand, Yalina looked at Meron with a puzzled expression, she vaguely felt that Meron was almost stupid and had nothing to do with these three pieces of copper.
"Hey...... Just these three pieces, it's not copper at all, it's gold, do you think it's worth it? Meron nodded and smirked in fear for days.
"Gold, gold?"
"Puff, puff......"
Jamie and the others fell to the ground, and Yalina also helped Meron quickly, otherwise she would have had a close contact with the ground.
