Another eight hundred taels of silver arrived, and so far Chen Tang had one thousand four hundred taels of silver in his hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Tang left here and went straight to the biggest tooth shop in Lin'an City.
When he got here, Chen Tang decisively took a tael of silver and stuffed it into one of the teeth, saying that he wanted to rent the house.
Yazi was sensible, and immediately responded to Chen Tang and led him to the place where Chen Tang wanted to rent on Qinglong Street.
This is a detached courtyard, the house is not large, but it is built of bluestone, and it is solid and sturdy. Because of the remote location, the asking price of the house is not high.
He rented it for a year for only twenty taels of silver.
This courtyard, Chen Tang came here before he was reborn, and now it is very deserted and uninhabited.
However, Chen Tang, who was reborn, knew that in the three months of the Heavenly Firmament Refining World, in order to fight for this place, several of the big forces had also fought.
This is so because there is a well here, and in the midst of the catastrophe, the well did not dry.
Three days later, the catastrophe struck, and the water source in Lin'an City was scarce, and every time the place where water was taken, it was covered with countless corpses and bones.
Because there is a well here, and there is still water, at least hundreds of people died for it, and finally it was captured by the Decepticons.
However, now this place belongs to Chen Tang, as long as the well is hidden, this place will not be discovered by others.
In addition, there is a secret room here, which is just right for you to hide resources.
Renting this place, Chen Tang found the secret room according to the location in his memory, and as soon as he opened the secret room, Chen Tang was dizzy by the rancid smell coming to his face.
He looked at it, and there was a rat hole in the secret room at some point, and a rat died here, and there was a rotten and sour smell.
Chen Tang understood that time was pressing, and he could still take care of nausea and nausea, so he entered the secret room and cleaned up this place.
Then he went outside and covered the well with stone slabs so that no one could find it.
After cleaning up for a full hour, the yard was finally cleaned up and could be inhabited.
Chen Tang picked up the silver ticket and went out again, food, clothing, housing and transportation, the place of residence was solved, and he began to solve the problem of eating!
This time, he's going to buy something to eat.
The catastrophe was imminent, all food, water, salt, and weapons were all over the place, and he had seen many people who fought for a nest also experienced hunger.
So after preparing the water source, what he has to do is to store these daily necessities in case of emergency.
However, before buying food, he first had to buy a horse-drawn carriage to solve the travel problem.
It's still that tooth, with the help of Yazi, Chen Tang spent thirty taels of silver to buy a carriage and an old horse with lost teeth.
This is also Chen Tang's caution played a role, and when it came to the catastrophe, everyone was left without food.
If the delivery person suddenly remembers that he has done such a business as himself and comes to the door, then his secret room is likely to be exposed.
When the carriage arrived, Chen Tang led the carriage to wander through the bustling streets of Lin'an, the young man was handsome, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and he was dressed in a green shirt, although the carriage he was holding was shabby, but it was particularly eye-catching.
Chen Tang ignored the curious gazes cast by everyone along the way and went to Suzaku Street, which was full of various grain stores.
Chen Tang stopped in front of a naan shop.
Naan bun is a specialty of Lin'an City, and all merchants who travel far away will buy a lot of it, not because of how good it tastes, but because it is specially made by Lin'an City craftsmen, salt and yeast noodles are mixed and baked. Very little water, very good for preservation.
Normal naan buns can be eaten as long as they are stored properly and left for two or three years. This kind of food is the most popular food in the catastrophe, and this kind of food is a must-have for long-distance travel, so it is sold on almost all streets of the huge Lin'an City.
Thinking that he might have to rely on this kind of food to satisfy his hunger in the future, Chen Tang didn't want to wronged himself, and directly bought the most luxurious precinct with salt and sesame flavor.
"A hundred salt and pepper sesame naan buns!"
Chen Tang smelled the tempting aroma of the freshly baked bun and swallowed hard. Although he wanted to take a bite, the thought of eating it for a month or two, Chen Tang decisively resisted this urge.
He had a naan shop every few streets, and he bought 100 steamed buns until he filled a cart.
The first way to do this is to avoid suspicion among people who buy naan buns, because even people who travel far away buy naan buns, and they will not buy them on a large scale like Chen Tang.
The second is that each store is good at different tastes, since you have to eat steamed buns until you vomit in the future, it is always good to change the taste.
Chen Tang brought the purchased naan buns back to his home, bought a few large water tanks and cleaned them, wiped every drop of water in the water tanks, and then put the naan buns in and sealed them.
After storing the buns, Chen Tang pulled the carriage out again and continued to buy!
Buying naan buns again and again, returning again and again, the silver tickets are getting fewer and fewer, and there are more and more naan buns in the secret room.
In the evening, the silver ticket cost two hundred taels, and the secret room was already full of naan!
Last time, he no longer bought naan, but bought daily necessities.
He first used the same method to buy two large baskets of salt, bacon, pots and pans for cooking, and all kinds of rare daily necessities in the future, which totaled more than thirty taels.
That's enough food for him for a whole year!
In fact, it doesn't take so long, a month after the beginning of the Heavenly Firmament Refining World, food is scarce, and after a month, everyone's cultivation is on the track, there is no food problem, fierce beasts everywhere, killing and eating meat at will!
These naan foods, Chen Tang's main use is the exchange at the beginning, the first two months are hard goods, can be exchanged for countless good things.
After the secret room was stored, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Tang spent three taels of silver to extravagant in the best restaurant in Lin'an City, ordered the best wine and food, and had a good meal.
If it weren't for the chance encounter with an injured hurricane on the third day, killing it to get the inheritance method, it wouldn't be long before he would have starved to death or been eaten by an endless stream of demons, like most people.
The afternoon sun shone in through the window, Chen Tang looked up at the blue sky, the green willow trees on the side of the street, the sound of hawkers selling along the street, and the smell of food and wine in his nose......
Chen Tang greedily took a sip of the tempting aroma, and said in his heart: This is really alive!
He began to eat the food on the table quickly, very quickly, but without wasting any food, this is a habit he left over from three years of life and death fighting.
However, this is completely inconsistent with the concept of elegant eating advocated by the Great Qian Empire, completely ignoring the stunned eyes of the people around him.
"Oh my God, that boy is so rude when he eats. ”
"Where did this beggar flee from the famine to Lin'an? Watching people touch dogs, eating is more urgent than starving ghosts!"
"Hehe, who knows, in such a big place as Lin'an, there are always a few people who have stepped on shit luck. Don't talk about this, I heard that the great Confucian of Bailu Academy wants to study abroad, and now a few accompanying places are vacant, so why don't we also donate one. ”
"Brother Li, good idea. After plating, my father will buy an official for me when I come back. ”
"Very good, very good. ”
......
All kinds of discussions, Chen Tangben turned a deaf ear. These people are dying in his eyes, and what is there to care about what the dying man says.
At the moment, he still has important things to do, and time waits for no one.
He drove the carriage to the only official furnace in Lin'an, which was the place where the largest weapons and agricultural tools were made in Lin'an.
Although it was officially opened, because the Daqian Dynasty advocated freedom, it did not prohibit the sale of weapons, but only needed to buy them in the official furnace to add an income to the official family.
The official furnace is located at the end of Tsing Lung Street, in a spacious shop. There is a plaque with gold characters on the bottom of the ink on the store, and the Lin'an branch is marked under the book "Lin'an First Furnace".
There are a variety of iron tools in the shop, including agricultural plowshares, shovels, shovels, and iron daily necessities, such as iron pots, and some swords.
All kinds of knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks. There are even hidden weapons with exquisite styles and unique shapes, but the number is very small and the price is extremely expensive.
Chen Tang's gaze swept over all the items in the store, and when he saw a golden chain, he was stunned, this chain was very thin, like a necklace worn by a woman.
Seeing this, Chen Tang just remembered something, he pointed to the chain, and before he could speak, Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he immediately introduced it.
"Objective and good vision, this is the treasure of the store, called ...... Eh, lock the gold chain, don't look at him as just a thin necklace, but he is very tough, even if he uses a knife to cut ten times or eight times, he can't damage it, it's really a good thing for gifts. ”
"How much?" Chen Tang interrupted Xiao Er's gushing introduction.
"Ten taels of silver!"
"I don't want it. Chen Tang threw the chain back into the small second-hand like a rag.
The shopkeeper's face changed, and then he thought that this broken chain was consigned by a crazy person who didn't know which crazy person was selling here, and the people had to sell it for a tael of silver, and he was greedy to earn more money, so he doubled tenfold.
The shopkeeper pinched the chain and screamed badly, and said to Chen Tang with a smile:
"I'm sorry officer, I made a mistake, this chain is not a gold chain, but a gold silk chain, which someone else put on our place to consign, and it is similar to our things. But if you don't have that much money, you can just give me two taels of silver. ”
This chain will be useful to Chen Tang in the future, and he decided to buy it.
After the catastrophe, people see each other, either competing for food, or slashing each other, trying to get each other's Yuan Energy, even if they are reluctant to cooperate, most of them are suspicious of each other, and everyone has already become numb because of the endless killing.
I can hardly see a performance like the shopkeeper anymore, working hard for small profits.
Chen Tang sighed slightly, and said what he planned to buy.
"I want four hundred steel swords! I will also make me a horse chopping knife, but the sword weighs more than one hundred and twenty pounds, the blade is seven feet long, and the handle is three feet long......
After Chen Tang finished reporting the size of the horse chopping knife, Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and was shocked by this big business, but this time he smiled more attentively and explained:
"Wait a minute, guest officer, your hundred-for-one steel sword should be available in the treasury, but this is the best blade in our Daqian Empire, and the price is very expensive! Each hundred taels is a hundred taels! But it will take a month for your special horse chopping knife to come and get it. ”
Chen Tang frowned and replied, "I want it now, the price is negotiable." ”
Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "In this matter, I can't be the master, I'll call the steward for you." With that, Xiao Er entered the back room.
Chen Tang sat on a chair resting while studying the gold wire chain that had just arrived.
In the early days of the catastrophe, these mortal iron weapons still had some effect, and later on, even if these weapons were thrown on the street, no one asked for them anymore. He bought it just for the first few days.
He pulled hard while thinking, and pulled a few times, but found that he couldn't pull at all, so he looked down. The gold chain in his hand was intact, faintly emitting this dim golden light.
Chen Tang was surprised in his heart, if it was an ordinary gold chain, it would have been deformed or broken, but the gold chain in his hand was not deformed at all. As soon as he closed his hand, the chain returned to the palm of his hand.
Chen Tang was slightly surprised, this chain didn't know what material it was, and its toughness was so amazing.
"Is it a guest officer who wants to customize a horse chopping knife?" a well-dressed man in his forties walked out.
Chen Tang nodded.
The man in front of him had long beautiful hair and was wearing a literati robe with the texture of Suzhou silk, not like a steward, but like a literati who indulged in landscapes and splashed ink.
Scholars have always been ashamed of engaging in business, but the steward in front of him seems to be the opposite of the current literati.
The steward seemed to see through Chen Tang's thoughts, stroked his beautiful hair and said: "Under the surname Li, what are the requirements of the housekeeper of this store, although I told me, the small shop will try its best to achieve it." ”
Chen Tang suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and once again reported the size of the horse chopping knife, Steward Li nodded and asked, "When do you want it?"
"The day after tomorrow at the latest, the goods must be picked up. ”
Steward Li shook his head and said, "Yes, I can ask people to expedite the construction and pick up the goods the day after tomorrow, but the price is not cheap, at least five hundred taels of silver." ”
"Yes, you can. ”
Steward Li took out a small abacus from the wide cuffs and finished it crackling. He smiled at Chen Tang and said, "Four hundred steel swords, four hundred taels, plus the special horse swordsman, five hundred taels, a total of nine hundred taels." ”
Chen Tang slapped the nine hundred taels of silver tickets on the table, and Steward Li smiled and said, "The guest officer is refreshing, then I will be the master to give the little thing just now to the guest officer." ”
Steward Li looked at Xiao Er with a smile. Xiao Er's face turned pale and returned the two taels of silver he had just received to Chen Tang.
Chen Tang was stunned, he didn't expect his silver to be lost and recovered, and he was not hypocritical, and immediately took back two taels of silver.
The two agreed on the time of handover, and Chen Tang asked to get a few cages in his car to hold the beasts, this request was also simple, and after a while, the craftsman of the first furnace in Lin'an had already done it.
This didn't cost a lot of silver, and that Steward Li was very good at doing business, so he wrapped the four hundred steel swords in red cloth and put them in Chen Tang's carriage.
The joy of these nine hundred taels of Chen Tang flowers, Chen Tang also enjoyed the happiness of shopping for the first time, and said in his heart: No wonder women like to shop, this feeling of being held by others is really cool!
So far, 1,400 taels of silver, 20 rents for a house, 30 for a car, 200 taels for naan buns, 30 taels for sundries, 900 taels for swords, and more than 200 taels of silver remaining!
