After listening to Li Mu's big list of solicitations.

Chen Mo got two pieces of news, the thieves in the north will attack Qingzhou in the spring of the next year, and the momentum is huge.

Second, it is not so much about solicitation, but as a bodyguard for the Li family, and the family is just incidental.

The two have only met twice so far, and they have exchanged words in a deep way, and whether they can trust or not is a question.

Besides, when I left Pingting County, I went to a strange place, and I didn't even have a place to live.

And in a troubled world, it is a dangerous thing to be a bodyguard for a wealthy family.

Once he is targeted by thieves or robbers, it is fine for him to be alone, but at that time, he still has his sister-in-law with him, and he will be in trouble.

Therefore, Chen Mo didn't want to agree.

But he couldn't refuse too directly, he also pointed to the fur and sold it for a good price, and said: "Shopkeeper Li, you said that this matter is too sudden, and it is a big matter, let me go back and think about it and discuss it with my insiders." ”

"Yes. There's still time to leave spring, don't worry, think about it, come here and tell me. Li Mudao.

It may be that there is an intention to solicit, this bear skin, Li Mu gave a bid of four hanging money.

Because the fox skin is a gray fox, not a white fox, the quality is slightly inferior, and Li Mu gave five hanging money.

Nine hanging money is not easy to take, Li Mu used silver ingots to settle.

Nine ingots and one tael of silver ingots.

After leaving the Li family cloth shop, Chen Mo left Li Mu's words behind.

As for taking advantage of Li Mu's cheapness...

Don't make a fuss, let Li Mu take that fox skin and bear skin, he will definitely have to earn, and even the money he earns may be several times the money he spent.

The two are just a buyer and seller relationship.

Subsequently, Chen Mo went to make another big purchase.

Soybeans, eggs, tooth powder, soy sauce, salt...

Chen Mo also bought himself a pair of boots.

He is now wearing cloth shoes on his feet, even if it is cold, it is easy to get wet, and his feet are a little awkward.

also bought a pair of embroidered shoes for Han Anniang.

Chen Mo knows the size of her feet very well, after all, she plays almost every night.

There is also an ointment to treat chilblains, and he found that Han Anniang's hands were already a little frostbitten.

In the end, there were still six taels left, and Chen Mo went to the blacksmith shop.

Last time, Chen Mo came to the blacksmith shop once.

Walking into the blacksmith shop, Chen Mo opened his mouth and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I want to fix the knife." ”

"Fixed?"

The shopkeeper Zhang, who was striking iron, lit up his eyes, knowing that this was a big business, so he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and grinned: "This guest official is your surname." ”

"Don't be surnamed Chen."

"What kind of knife does Boss Chen want to customize?"

Chen Mo saw that there was a pen and paper next to him, so he drew the appearance of the Tang knife in his mind on the paper.

Before he crossed, he bought an unedged Tang knife collection, which was not too handsome.

"It's... Sword? "It's the first time I've seen this kind of knife, and I can't help but be stunned.

"Whatever you think, anyway, it's going to be like this, eighty centimeters long." Chen Mo said.

"What materials does the guest officer need, do you want to add soil burning blades and steel clamping?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked.

This is the blind spot of Chen Mo's knowledge, he really doesn't know anything about this, and after asking the shopkeeper Zhang, he learned that this is a forging process, which can enhance the quality and strength of weapons.

The more process steps, the higher the charge.

In the past, most of the shopkeepers built agricultural tools, and the process steps were simple.

"All of this plus, what's the price?" Chen Mo asked.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper stretched out two fingers: "At least twenty taels of silver." ”

Chen Mo: "......"

In the end, Chen Mo could only pick and reduce, using ordinary materials, but covering the soil and burning the blade and clamping the steel must be, and then after some bargaining, about five taels of silver.

Pay a deposit of one or two pieces of silver in advance.

"Don't worry, I have such a big shop here, and the government has also registered, if you can't run a monk or a temple, you won't lose a tael of silver." Shopkeeper Zhang seemed to see Chen Mo's worries and said with a smile.

Chen Mo pondered for a while, and then took out a silver ingot from his arms: "How long?" ”

"I'll take it in three days."

Chen Mo nodded, took the certificate issued by the shopkeeper, put the grain on his back, and left the county seat.

No one was eyeing him this time.

All the way back home.

Chen Mo put down the bag outside the house and shook the snow off his body.

Han Anniang heard the movement early and walked out of the kitchen: "Uncle is back." ”

As he spoke, he helped Chen Mo pat off the snow on his body.

Han Anniang should have been cooking just now, and there was cold water under her hands, and Chen Mo saw that her hands were a little swollen and red.

But Han Anniang didn't care, and after helping Chen Mo pat off the snow on his body, she turned around and went to the kitchen to wash Chen Mosheng's face and hands with hot water.

didn't take two steps, but was grabbed by Chen Mo's hand.

Chen Mo pulled, Han Anniang exclaimed in surprise, and stumbled into his arms.

Chen Mo picked her up, wrapped her waist with one hand, and carried the sack in the other, and entered the house.

Seeing that her uncle put down the sack and carried her to the house, Han Anniang was a little panicked and struggled: "Uncle, don't, slave... It's menstruation. ”

Chen Mo put Han Anniang on the kang and pinched her nose with a smile: "What do you think, I bought you an ointment to treat and prevent chilblains." ”

As he spoke, Chen Mo let go of her and brought chilblain cream to Han Anniang's hands.

"Ah, uncle, I'll paint later, the slave hasn't finished cooking yet." Han Anniang struggled.

"Don't move, I'll cook the food, just rest well when the menstrual period comes, don't get cold water." As he spoke, he held her hands and helped her warm up.

"Uncle..."Han Anniang hugged Chen Mo's waist and hugged it tightly, her eyes moistened for some reason.

"It's so decent, why are you crying?" Chen Mo wiped her tears for her.

"The slave family... I don't know, uncle, why are you so good to the slave family? ”

The women in the mountain villages are not the daughters of rich families in the city, and the husbands all regard their wives as "laborers".

And Chen Mo's behavior, for Han Anniang, seems to be only in a dream.

"Because I like my sister-in-law."

"Uncle." Han Anniang took the initiative to kiss.

After parting her lips, she said with a red face: "Uncle, the slave family is so rare for you." ”

……

Next.

Zhang He came with the five fishing rods he had made, as well as the dug earth dragon, that is, the earthworm.

There are earthworms in winter, but they are hidden deeply, and you need to dig deep soil to find them.

"Brother Mo, when are we going to Dadong Lake?"

"I'll go back in two days, you go to explore the situation first, see which location has more fish, and whether you need to make a nest. In addition, you don't have to bring back the fish you caught, you can sell them to the Qinghe Gang, and see what price the Qinghe Gang gives. ”

Chen Mo took ten cents and gave it to Zhang He.

"Good Lemogo."

……

It was a little late, and Zhang He returned.

In three hours, Zhang He caught a total of four crucian carp, two herrings, and a number of small fish that did not account for two catties, a total of 16 catties, and 60 yuan.
