Chapter 9 is bitter

With a hint of depression, Lu Yuan turned around and left the Sitong Trading House behind him.

Walking down the street with an empty bamboo basket on his back, the skins inside had just been sold out, and the heavy pressure suddenly dissipated, making his pace a little faster.

Turning his head to a shop on the street, with the five hundred yuan he had just received, Lu Yuan bought ten catties of coarse salt.

Because Dayu County is deep inland and mountainous, salt from other places is transported in, and the road is far away, and the price of salt here is much higher than that of the outside world.

The predecessor had heard those merchants say in the tea stall that in those prefectures and counties with salt farms by the sea, a pound of salt can be bought cheaply for only a dozen yuan.

Compared to the fifty wen a pound here, the salt is simply the same as being given for nothing.

"And the coarse salt sold is all impurities, and even stones can be seen. The quality is so poor, adulterated with so many fakes, how dare you sell it at such a high price? ”

Lu Yuan looked at the coarse salt in the jar, these salts were black and yellow, and they looked like large pieces of sand shuo.

It's really hard to imagine that a person who eats this salt all year round really won't have problems with his body?

But considering that this is ancient times, the average age may be only thirty or forty years.

"This point of life, even if there is really a problem with eating, it may not be able to suffer, and on the day of the outbreak, the person will be gone first."

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan was also relieved.

However, he made up his mind in his heart that after he returned, he would definitely filter the coarse salt again.

He doesn't care how others eat these salts, he is immortal, and people who can live with the sky are not those short-lived ghosts.

If you don't want to die for a long life, and you get sick after eating salt, it will be funny.

Do what you think.

For the sake of his own life, Lu Yuan bought some crockpot gauze that could be used for filtering in the market, and bought some axes, chisels and hammers used by craftsmen by the way.

Although I have been in this world for two months and have lived in the cave for a long time, I have to say that it is a broken cave with wind leaking everywhere, and it is really uncomfortable to live.

The predecessor was a wild child who grew up in the mountains, and like a wild man, he drank blood, so he lived a hard life in the cave, and he probably didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Lu Yuan is a person who has traveled from modern times.

Although the identity before the crossing is that he is an ordinary ordinary person.

But what are the material conditions in modern times, and what are the material conditions in ancient times?

Now even if he is an ordinary person, the various materials he enjoys are not comparable to princes in ancient times, at least he is treated as a landlord.

Let a modern person who has been pampered enough come to live a life in the wilderness, occasionally for a day or two, who can stand it after a long time.

"I've had enough of laying a leather mat and lying on the ground every day. I want to sleep in a bed, I want to sleep in a big soft bed. And the tea table, and the chairs, and the cabinets, and everything else, and everything else that can be done. Lu Yuan thought of the life he had lived these days, and he couldn't help but shed tears in his heart.

He really couldn't figure out what the predecessor thought?

Is it really that hard to get a bed to sleep?

Lighting a fire every day, and then laying a leather cushion next to it, is life so good to sleep on the ground?

Are you really not afraid of catching a cold, not afraid of rheumatism, not afraid of the cold to your bones?

Although judging from the situation these days, my body really has no effect, and this habit of sleeping on the ground does not seem to bring any bad results.

But the psychological and physical instincts still made Lu Yuan unable to accept this bad life.

So now that he has come to the city and has money in his hand, of course he didn't say anything, and he can't treat himself badly.

However, the money in his hand is still less, so he plans to teach people to fish is better than to teach people to fish, beds, chairs, etc., if he can make it himself, he can make it himself, and it is impossible to buy it.

Even if you want to buy it, you have to be willing to give it away.

Lantau Island is a vast forest and sea, and wild animals are rampant, and ordinary people really dare not run into it.

So instead of spending money on those that are unrealistic, it is better to buy your own tools and do it yourself.

Anyway, there may be few other things in the mountains, but wood is really everything, inexhaustible, and inexhaustible.

After buying a bunch of miscellaneous items and piling up most of the baskets on his back, Lu Yuan had just spent almost half of the two thousand dollars he had just received.

There was still 500 yuan left, but he didn't plan to continue to spend it, but was ready to save it, just like his predecessor, as his reserve savings.

Yes, the predecessor had a small treasury, which was accumulated by him in the two years he had been a hunter, and he had eight taels of silver.

It took two years to save eight taels of silver.

Thinking of the hard days that his predecessor had lived in order to save money, Lu Yuan felt sad in his heart.

Orion's days are too difficult.

In order to save money, the predecessor even did not hesitate to save food and live a savage life, which is certainly not because he likes to be close to nature and has a noble spiritual cultivation.

The logic of all this behavior is very simple, that is, when you save enough money, you will spend money to buy a daughter-in-law back.

The danger of Orion is too high, and if you are not careful, you will be killed by the beasts in the mountains, and your lifespan is really not long.

And in addition, because he has no identity and is a black household, there are too few channels to obtain economic resources.

Those with status, even if they work as coolies in the city, have an income of one or two silver a month. Over the course of a year, save a little, and you can save five or six taels anyway.

can be changed to a hunter, and the income of half a tael of silver a month can be regarded as stable. In a year, no matter how frugal you are, you can save three or four taels of silver at most.

With such a condition, the daughters of those good families naturally can't look down on it.

So if you want to find someone to talk about and your daughter-in-law, for Orion, it's not even a matter of even thinking about it.

The idea of succession is deeply rooted in the genes of every living being, and it belongs to instinct.

Not to mention the cultural influences.

So the predecessor Da Lang, in order to marry his daughter-in-law, began to prepare as early as two years ago.

Since you can't talk about the daughter of a good family, and you want to ask for a daughter-in-law, the only way is to buy it.

With today's market conditions, if you want to buy a daughter-in-law, you need at least sixty taels of silver. A little more, a hundred taels is not impossible.

With the original body's savings rate, it will take at least fifteen years to save enough money to beg his daughter-in-law.

And by that time, Da Lang was already twenty-nine years old, and he was three.

In an era of low life expectancy in ancient times, at the age of thirty, they may have become grandfathers.

"Running all your life can get a wife at the age of being a grandfather."

Lu Yuan thought back to the life plan of the original Dalang, and a complex emotion arose in his heart, and he didn't know how to describe it, and finally turned into a sigh: "It's bitter." ”
