Chapter 8: Bean Bag's Worries!
Dinner was pies, porridge, pickles.
The pie is the stuffing left over from eating buns in the morning, and the bean buns are fried with half a fan of pork and four cabbages.
Porridge is white porridge, and the thin crispy is specially fried in bean buns.
Pickles are not turnips, but spicy cabbage and shredded bamboo shoots.
The pie crust was thin and large, and the frying was crispy, especially the pie, which was the size of a basin in diameter, and Jason ate it with a mouth full of oil.
A bite of pie, a bite of white porridge, a bite of pickles.
It's really just right.
It even made Jason feel like he was back at the dinner table in his 'hometown'.
It's delicious.
With a hint of 'hometown' flavor, it immediately becomes delicious.
Suddenly, Jason swept away a table of dinner like a storm and clouds.
At this time, Doubao had just brought out a bowl of white porridge from the kitchen.
What about the ten loaves of bread that I baked?
What about the porridge I boiled?
Where's the pot of vegetables I mixed?
Doubao stood there stunned.
She thought that after going through it twice, she had figured out the amount of Jason's meals, and each meal was made in the same way as the previous meal plus 30%, but how could it not be enough?
How is the owner's stomach the same as the bottomless pit?
Is this how all warriors can eat?
No wonder the owner has so much ability, but he doesn't have much money, so he should have eaten it all, right?
According to the amount of food eaten by the hall owner, the tuition fees of these apprentices, except for buying vegetables, are not much left.
Especially recently, the price of pork has risen again.
Why don't you quit those two old mothers?
It is a little bit to be able to save a little.
Doubao frowned as he thought about it.
She doesn't mind Jason eating too much, on the contrary, she loves Jason sitting at the table and eating heartily.
However, she thinks she needs to save Jason a little.
After all, everything has just stepped into formality, and there are more places to spend money.
The sandbags and wooden piles in the martial arts hall are all worn out, as well as the uniform clothes of the apprentices, etc., these are the face of the martial arts hall, and they cannot be saved.
Sure enough, not only did I have to quit my two old mothers, but I also had to eat a little less!
Bean Bao thought silently.
And thenβ
Crash!
Crisp, the sound of the ocean grinding and colliding.
Even if you don't pay attention to the bean bag, you can clearly distinguish it.
It's like seeing a 100-watt electric light at night.
As soon as Doubao looked up, he saw a money bag.
It's familiar, she sewed it for Jason.
When I gave it, it was flat, but at this time, it was bulging, and I couldn't put it down at all.
"I have a little deposit."
Jason said very calmly, opened the money bag, and poured out the ocean, gold leaves, and paper tickets inside.
Originally, there were 21 oceans in the money bag, but then 103 oceans, 10 gold leaves and 31 paper tickets were seized from Zhao Yang's group.
The 100 gold leaves he got from Chen Tong were placed elsewhere.
"So much?!"
Bean Bao's eyes widened all of a sudden.
Except for the apprentices who paid the tuition on the day of the opening, she had never seen so much money.
You know, when she buys vegetables every day, she also brings 2-3 oceans, which is because the owner can eat it, and there must be meat, otherwise, an ordinary family of four will only have 1 ocean a week, which is still quite good.
After all, outside Wuguan Street, the best restaurant 'Zuixiang Building' has less than 5 oceans of high-grade seats on a table.
And she went to the vegetable market to buy a pound of pork leg meat for only 1 dime, this is because it has risen recently, it was only 9% before, like her, she bought more, and she can also bring some pig intestines and big bones by the way.
"I'll leave it to you."
Jason put the 31 pieces of paper back in the money bag, and then pushed the rest of the ocean and gold leaves to the bean bag.
Doubao, who had never been directly exposed to so much money, was immediately stunned.
She raised her head to look at the usually serious, but now smiling face, her lips opened slightly, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything at all, only a warmth in her chest.
Her owner trusts her wholeheartedly.
From saving her, to teaching her to practice boxing, then letting her take care of the martial arts gym, and now entrusting her with all her net worth, these are all trusts.
No one had ever believed in her so much.
In the thick of the emotion, the circles under the eyes of the bean buns were red.
"Don't worry, owner, I'll save this money well......"
"You don't need to save it, just buy more food."
"Don't worry, there will be no shortage of money."
"Don't forget that I still have five hundred oceans of bonuses to take tonight."
Jason said with a smile.
And Doubao finally thought of what his owner was going to do at night at this time.
She didn't stand in the way.
How can you go back on what you promised in public?
Warriors, a promise.
She understands.
So, after Jason agreed, the bean bag would not be blocked.
However, bean bags do not do nothing.
Bean Bao got up and returned to his room, and then, mysteriously, placed a bag in front of Jason.
"Owner, you put this on."
Doubao said in a low voice.
"What is this?"
Jason twitched his nose and looked at the open baggage, which was a black suit, top and pants, and a pair of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles.
The needlework on it is the same as on the money bag, and it is obviously sewn from a bean bag.
Jason wasn't focused on that, though.
What he is concerned about is that in his perception that is more than ten times that of ordinary people, this suit has some 'taste'.
Flavors he is familiar with.
And right away, the bean bag gave the answer.
"Lime!"
"I sewed lime in my sleeves and trouser legs!"
Bean Bao said directly, and then, after carefully pulling a corner of Bean Bao for Jason to see, he immediately picked up the needle and thread to sew the jacket well.
While sewing, the bean bag said, "Pavilion master, have you seen this thread?" During the fight, you pinch the thread with your hand, and then, punching hard, the lime in your sleeve can be scattered! You have to remember that the left sleeve is ordinary lime, the right sleeve is mixed with croton powder, the left trouser leg I mixed with aconitum powder, and the right trouser leg I mixed with lily of the valley powder. β
"Pavilion owner, you have to remember that this time is not a fight in the ring, but a real battle of life and death, any accident can happen, so, if you meet a strong man, don't hesitate to kill the hall owner, you are alive more important than anything else, Doubao will be here all the way waiting for you to come back!"
Bean Bao said, and looked at Jason with tears in his eyes.
A pitiful look.
It's just that, holding this suit, Jason has a little numb scalp.
When he watched Doubao practice boxing before, he wondered if he told Doubao to prepare some lime or something.
Now it looks?
He's a complete trivial.
Croton, a common laxative, that's not all.
However, aconitum and lily of the valley are both poisonous things.
It's deadly in the truest sense of the word.
With lime, these things are pasty, not to mention ordinary people, even he may be hit.
Sure enough, it won't be so simple for a weak woman to escape from the Northland to the mountain city.
Jason thought, but didn't ask.
Instead, I picked up my clothes, turned around and went back to my room to change.
The life of the 'City That Never Sleeps' has already given him his own fighting habits.
What's wrong with sprinkling lime?
He also used 'golden juice' as a weapon.
Although it doesn't hurt much, it's extremely insulting, and it's really easy to use.
The clothes fit very well, between punches and shaking legs, there is no stumbling at all, and there is no slightest stagnation in the lime and medicinal powder hidden inside.
Pushing the door out, Bean Bao stood there holding a big black bag.
Raising his hand, he draped the big coat over Jason's body.
The big daunt is satin, but Jason feels that there is liquid flowing inside, and then, when the bean bag carefully helped Jason sort out his clothes, he said in a low voice: "I made the base of the animal skin, and the juice of the dripping Guanyin was stored inside, and the outside was covered with satin. β
With Doubao's words, Jason was already able to imagine the picture.
There is a high probability that the strongman will split this big hole with one sword.
And then......
The juice of the dripping Kannon bath.
If you slash, you open your mouth like a shout.
Not......
It's a bit unimaginable.
"Well, I'll be careful."
Jason nodded.
Seeing that Jason's expression had not changed at all, Beanbao breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been hesitant to give them to her owner.
She was really worried that her own owner would look down on her because of these things.
Thankfully, no.
The owner of the house is still the same as before.
It's really good.
Bean Bao let out a long breath and followed Jason and sent Jason out of the martial arts hall.
Outside the door, Jia Youcai was already waiting.
Four patrols, two rickshaws.
"Pavilion master, I will guard the martial arts hall well and wait for you to come back."
As Jason boarded the rickshaw, Doubao waved his hand.
"Mu Ye'er, why don't I leave two brothers to help guard the door?"
"Sister Doubao is alone in the martial arts hall, which is a bit unsafe."
"In the afternoon, there was a big case, I don't know where the strongman came from to kill Zhao Yang and his gang of outlaws, and they also set fire to burn everything clean."
Jia Youcai, who was sitting in another rickshaw, did not forget to seize the opportunity to be courteous.
With a wave of his hand, he let the two patrols stand at the door of the Mu-style martial arts hall.
That group of people is called Zhao Yang?
Jason instantly met who Jia Youcai was talking about.
He wasn't necessarily the one who killed people.
He wasn't necessarily the one who set the fire.
However, this afternoon, it is most likely that he was the one who killed and set the fire.
"Zhao Yang is a bastard, he once killed his master because of a trivial matter, we have not found this bastard for many years, and it is also a good thing that he was killed by a strong man this time."
It seemed that he was worried that Jason didn't know who Zhao Yang was, Jia Youcai hurriedly said.
"Hmm."
"Where are the corpses?"
"The corpses of the four chief catchers and a dozen good hands in the east, west, north and south."
Jason changed the subject without a trace.
"It's in the house's room."
"The lord also lives in the mansion."
"Just on the way."
Jia Youcai replied, and then urged his subordinates to hurry up.
Although his ability is not strong, after so many years, Jia Youcai also knows what to do when something happens.
This is especially true of such a thing as examining a corpse.
Corpses can talk!
This is what old servants used to say.
He listened to it countless times.
Although I don't know, how to speak, but some people always have the ability to make the corpse speak, and the Mu Pavilion Master in front of him should be such a person.
With Jia Youcai leading the way, Jason came to the room unimpeded.
A total of fifteen corpses, including the corpses of the four chief catchers in the south, east, west, and northwest, were neatly placed in the room, covered with white linen.
"Mu Ye'er, you look first, I'm at the door, you have something to call me."
Jia Youcai said and retreated, with fear on his face.
It's not that he hasn't seen a corpse.
As a head catcher, Jia Youcai has definitely seen more corpses than most people.
However, such a tragic corpse as in this incident is the first time Jia Youcai has seen it.
And I don't want to see it a second time.
Jason doesn't care.
After Jia Youcai exited the room, he lifted the white linen cloth and checked them one by one.
Most of the corpses were cut off, including the head catcher of the Northern City.
The two chief catchers of Nan and Xicheng were crushed in their throats, and their hands and feet were twisted into twists, obviously the person who shot was a person who was very good at grabbing.
However, Jason was more concerned about the corpse of the head catcher in the East City.
Because, he found traces of projectiles on the corpse of the other party.
It's the kind of projectile that fires from a musket.
"Gunpowder?!"
Jason's eyes narrowed.
He had been in this dungeon world for too much time, and he had received too little information.
You can only infer something by looking around.
For example: gunpowder weapons.
According to what he saw, the gunpowder weapons of this dungeon world should have existed, and had gone through the initial rudimentary development and entered a near-modern scale.
But it's just speculation.
Until this moment, I saw the projectile of the fire gun.
"Slower than expected...... It's just that this power is also a bit beyond imagination. β
Jason looked at the corpse of the East City chief catcher and fell into deep thought.
The other party is extremely tall, his bones and muscles are extremely strong, even if he is dead, there is still a faint metallic glow on his skin, and it is obvious that the so-called invulnerability should be true.
But alas, it was knocked down by a shot.
"Did you accidentally hit the door?"
"Still ......"
"This weapon is special?"
Jason thought and walked out of the room.
"Mu Ye, what do you think?"
Jia Youcai immediately walked over.
"Almost."
Jason replied.
"Then you come with the little one, the big master is already waiting."
After Jia Youcai finished speaking, he led the way in front.
In the living room, a man with a thin figure and a clear face was waiting there.
The other party was pale and coughed from time to time.
However, his eyes were still bright, especially when he saw Jason walk in, he was much more energetic.
"Thank you to the owner of the Mu Pavilion for reaching out to help, and the officials are very grateful."
The lord of the mountain city had a humble attitude at this time, and even changed his name.
"Paid, as it should be."
Jason replied calmly.
This made Li Deshang stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
"But there are also real skills."
"It's not like the rest of the martial arts street people who are selling their reputations."
"After getting through this difficulty, this official must clean up these bastards well."
When Li Deshang said this, he couldn't help but get angry again.
Even, began to cough violently.
Jia Youcai on the side immediately came over and beat his back.
"Don't worry, my lord, with the owner of the Mu Pavilion here, there will definitely be no problem"
Jia Youcai comforted.
"Hmm."
Li Deshang nodded.
He knew a lot more things than Jia Youcai, and looked at Jason, who was sitting silently on the side, and couldn't help gritting his teeth, and said, "Master Mu, if you can help Xia Guan get through the crisis this time, Xia Guan is willing to provide you with a 'secret medicine'." β
