As mentioned in the last book, the fire dragon horse felt that it was difficult to fill the gluttonous mouth of the 'Thirteen Taibao' under his subordinates, so he had the idea of looking for a strong reinforcement to take refuge.

Since this Yang Congxun in front of him can make Xu Datou, who has always been stingy, unusual, and stew chickens and poultry with a smile, it can be seen that there must be a lot of silver in his arms, and most of the people who take refuge in him will not starve.

It just so happened that the little fox had already had the intention of soliciting the Fire Dragon Pony and his party, so he hit it off with the Fire Dragon Pony, and also let Yang Congxun have fourteen more mouths to eat and drink with him.

Fortunately, Yang Congxun didn't take the little fox to heart at all, and he once again took it to heart...... The eldest young master of the dignified Tai'an Yang family, not only has a way to subdue demons and subdue ghosts all the way to make money, but there are also hundreds of acres of paddy fields and mulberry forests under this name, can't even a dozen rats be raised?

But then again, it's not that there are no things that make Yang Congxun feel a headache: this rare fire dragon horse in the world is now Hu San's follower, so what should we do about what we promised Ma Laoke before? If this is for the king's steward and them to know that we actually have to keep the fire dragon horse by our side, it will be difficult for Ma Laoke to explain it.

Who knew that the little fox waved his paws indifferently after listening to Yang Congxun's concerns: "What is this, third brother, I already have a proposition...... Let's go back and send the 'Fire Dragon Pony' leather knee pads to his horse guests, isn't it over? ”

I saw the little fox grinning at Yang Congxun with a shy, "In my opinion, Brother Yang, after parting ways with Steward Wang, you can quietly find a leather market, and buy two mink skin knee pads with a slightly better color for a little silver, and then I will grind the remaining half of the fire spirit stone finely, mix the stone powder with water and make a slurry and brush it on the side of the leather knee pad lining, so as to ensure that it and the skin of the real fire dragon horse are generally warm and windproof." ”

Although the little fox's idea seems a bit whimsical, as long as you think about it carefully, maybe this is the real situation...... If just the heavily oily mouseskin is warmer than ordinary leather, then you might as well cut a few knives of thick lard and wrap it around your body.

Now that I think about it, the secret of this fire dragon horse's thin fur but warmer than the thick wolf skin fox fur is that this rat fairy was proficient in fire-based immortal arts during his lifetime, and he was often immersed in it, which eventually caused this rat skin to be attached to a large amount of fire-based mana like those fire spirit stones.

Hey, the magistrate asked: "According to what you say, it should be that the fox fairy skin that is accustomed to fire immortal art is warmer?" Why do the princes and nobles outside the gate respect the skin of the fire dragon horse so much? ”

First, the fox fairy is generally much more powerful than the rat fairy, once the hunter provokes a fox fairy, who will skin whom, it is all in the undecided......

Second, most of the princes and nobles outside the customs are related to the current imperial court.

This ancestor of the Xinjue Luo family personally became an immortal official because of the life-saving grace of the third master Hu, but you bought fox fur with great fanfare...... What does that mean? Isn't it not to give face to Aixin Jueluo's family?

No one is willing to buy it at a high price, so naturally no one takes a risk: this fox fairy skin is much more difficult than the difficulty of peeling a tiger skin, but the fox fairy skin is not worth a fraction of the tiger skin...... Then let's go and skin the tiger and sell it for money.

"If you know what's going on, you'll be able to counterfeit it. Brother, although the fire spirit stone in my hand is a subordinate product, but the stone powder scraped out is also full of mana, and sometimes you can feel that your palm is slightly hot when you hold it in your hand, and it is the most suitable to use it to pretend to be a fire dragon horse...... It's a big deal, let's go back and fight with that old horse, who let him only see the fire dragon horse soaking in the hot spring pool from afar, and never see the real fire dragon horse skin? ”

"What's your idea? If this is to let Ma Laoke know that we are lying to him...... Forget it, it seems that this is the only way to go. ”

However, what Yang Congxun never expected was that when he returned from outside the Guanwai and was so apprehensive that he handed over the knee pads of these two 'Fire Dragon Horse' skins (actually Lin Mink) that had been transformed by Hu San, the latter first accepted the gift with a look of surprise, and after trying it out, he praised it and said: "It's still Yang Xian's nephew who will do things, the fur of this Fire Dragon Horse is worthy of its real name, and after wearing it, it is warmer than ordinary leather." ”

From beginning to end, even the origin of the two 'Fire Dragon Horse' leather knee pads that Yang Congxun had made up in advance was not used......

Maybe it's just like the little fox imagined: no one in this world knows what the skin of a real dragon looks like...... Who's going to take a closer look at what a rat's skin looks like?

Even the way people can determine whether a piece of skin is the skin of a dragon foal is extraordinarily simple and crude: if you put your hand in the roll of skin, as long as it is warmer than ordinary skin, it must be the skin of a dragon foal.

In this way, the fire spirit stone that the little fox carried under his tail finally completed its mission, and won the gold reward promised by Ma Laoke for his master by grinding powder and grouting.

The reason for this is nothing more than that those dignitaries and nobles outside the customs live in a bitter cold place, so they cherish the warmth of things, and almost every family is willing to give thousands of taels of silver to buy a pair of knee pads with the skin of a fire dragon foal for themselves.

But there are not many rat spirits in this way, and there are even fewer of them who can be called fire dragon horses...... The demand is large and the supply is small, so it is natural for some people to use some crooked brains.

In fact, most of the fire dragon foal skins that have flowed into the hands of the nobles of the family have nothing to do with the fire dragon foal, but they are nothing more than a little special 'condiment' added in the process of leather tanning and nitration, which is similar to the method adopted by the little fox...... This is all for later, so let's not press the table for the time being.

However, it was said that after Yang Congxun took the fire dragon horse and his party, he immediately returned to the inn to rest.

At dawn the next day, Yang Congxun got up and went to the king's steward, asking him to come forward to help him buy a covered carriage and drive horses in Xujia's Nest Town, and then piled up most of the cart of dried fruits, rice, flour, sesame oil and other goods.

In this way, Yang Cong followed the driving skills he learned from Yang Si before, and finally passed the addiction of driving a whip.

It's just that the scale of the Xu family's shack town is not large, and it does not produce livestock and horses, so it took him half a day to pick out a pack horse from the stable of Xu Datou's family, which can barely drive a long road...... Naturally, Xu Datou took advantage of the situation to defraud a large amount of silver.

Fortunately, Yang Congxun had made it clear that he had paid all this out of his own pocket and would never use a penny of money in the caravan, so he got the matter done...... Rao is like this, together with the few pots of stewed chicken last night, it has succeeded in loosening the purse on Yang Cong's waist by a small half.

In this regard, Huo Longju had secretly consulted Hu San, saying that he had a few Taibao who were good at moving boxes and taking silver, and it was not difficult for Xu Datou to come and 'will' this east.

However, when the little fox listened to the fire dragon horse's statement, his eyes rolled and he shook his head and rejected the fire dragon horse's suggestion: "After Brother Yang finishes his work outside the gate, we have to return the same way with the king steward and them, and it is estimated that we will probably have to live here when we return...... It's never too late to come back and finish that chicken stew! ”
