Chapter 83
As soon as they entered the Frog Village, a pungent and spicy smell filled their nostrils. Xiaobai covered his nose with his hand, only to see that the Frog Village had set up over a dozen large pots, stir-frying chili peppers.
"White Dangjia, long time no see, you have so much free time to come over?" Xu Shenji welcomed him.
"Get the one with the surname Cheng out here, I'm going to settle accounts with him."
If it were someone else who was shouting and yelling in the Frog Inn, with its current atmosphere, Xu Shenji would have been thrown out long ago. But the person in front of him is Xiao Bai Lang, not because of her identity, but because of her gender.
A woman finds a man to settle the account, what kind of account is this... peach blossom account? Hey, the master's move was really fast, didn't even give himself a chance.
It just so happens that I don't recall the master of the house going to Apricot Flower Ridge recently, of course, this kind of dirty business can't be publicly announced, never mind, I'll go and get someone for her myself, this female demon is not to be trifled with, a steel knife, specially used to greet people with a sneak attack.
Cheng Dali came over and, with great elegance, exchanged greetings with Xiao Bai Lang. As for the beautiful Flower Hill, he couldn't get there in person, but his heart was drawn to it.
Who would have thought that Little White Wolf didn't give him a good face, directly saying: "Surnamed Cheng, do you still count as keeping your promise to me?"
Xu Shenji's eyes lit up immediately: indeed something was going on.
Qin Man from nearby also handed over an ear.
"What's going on?" Cheng Dairen was perplexed.
"This... " Xiao Bai Lang was somewhat embarrassed to say it out loud, one mu of chili peppers has a yield of two or three thousand catties, while planting other grains only yields a few hundred catties, others might think he's gone crazy from being poor.
"Hum, don't you know what's going on?!"
Wow!
How many eyes are cast here, with the fire of gossip burning fiercely in them. The famous mother yaksha of Qingniu Mountain, when did the female old tiger show such a little girl's appearance, and say that there is nothing between them.
Cheng Dali's forehead was covered in sweat, as if he had recalled the fear of being dominated by Gao Fei and Yu Quren once again.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Cheng Dalai gritted his teeth.
"It's just chili..."
Cheng Dali suddenly realized and said: "Hot pepper, that's right! How many hot peppers did you mountain stronghold collect?"
"There's over two thousand catties."
"So little..." Cheng Dairen muttered, saying: "Then transport it over, still according to what was previously agreed upon, one catty of chili peppers for one catty of grain, either wheat or soybeans is fine. Oh, right, before transporting it over, stir-fry them first, dry stir-frying."
Cheng Dali has now received Su Ying's letter and negotiated the price with the merchant, purchasing at a ratio of one dou of chili peppers to one dou of wheat.
The price is much higher than expected, the yield of wheat per mu is only a few hundred kilograms, while that of chili peppers can reach several thousand kilograms. However, when exchanging with Xiaobai Lang, they use weight as the unit, but when exchanging with customers, they use volume as the unit, and the volume of one kilogram of chili peppers and one kilogram of wheat is naturally different.
The merchant couldn't take in such a large quantity of goods, and only prepared to take 5,000 catties. However, this already made Cheng Dairen very satisfied, as one mouthful couldn't make a fat man, the sales route had to be slowly opened up.
After finishing, seeing that Little White Wolf hadn't left yet, Cheng Dalai muttered to himself, could it be that this girl doesn't want to leave and wants to chat with me some more? Indeed, now that the Frog Village is wealthy and influential, he also has a certain charm to women.
"Otherwise, let's go to my place and chat, I've just composed a new poem..."
Little White Wolf.
Cheng Dali overestimated his charm, she didn't want to chat with Cheng Dali, but for a moment, she didn't dare to believe it. This time, if Cheng Dali can make up for the few hundred kilograms of soybeans, that's good enough, so she deliberately put on a shrewish attitude, fearing that Cheng Dali wouldn't admit his debt.
But the result... is too good, so good that it's hard to believe.
After reacting, Little White Wolf immediately went down the mountain and disappeared in a flash.
Cheng Dali sighed regretfully, I suppose you don't like poetry, let's talk about something else next time.
The people below still had someone guarding them, and when they saw the small white wolf's disheartened expression, they all understood.
It must be that Cheng Dairen refuses to acknowledge it, yes, where in the world is such a good thing. So the stone in these people's hearts also fell to the ground, this feeling is similar to hearing that a friend has won the lottery, he can't sleep at home, tossing and turning, then later hears that the lottery ticket was lost, suddenly overjoyed, sleeping soundly.
"It's just a trivial matter, don't take it to heart."
"Elderly people all say that there's no free lunch in heaven; after being taken advantage of once, everyone understands."
"What was I saying again? What was I saying again......"
Xiaobai Lang ignored them, mounted his horse and returned to the mountain stronghold, hastily ordering the people in the stronghold to stir-fry chili peppers. More than 2,000 catties of chili peppers would take several days to stir-fry, and Xinghua Ridge didn't have that many iron pots either.
A few days later, several more fake mountains that planted chili peppers came to find Cheng Dairen Xing Shi to ask for punishment. They went up the mountain in a rage and down the mountain in despair, and after returning to the mountain, they started stir-frying chili peppers.
Still, few people know what happened, and there's little entertainment in the mountains, so this incident has become news. After dinner, everyone can't help but express their opinions.
Similar to "not listening to the elderly and suffering losses before one's eyes".
Several mountain villages' chili peppers are not many, adding up to just over 10,000 catties, plus the ones grown by Hamao Village itself, totaling more than 40,000 catties.
Everyone in the village was busy, and Cheng Dalai originally planned to clean up a medical room for Liu Bei, but no one was available, so he had to take matters into his own hands. Liu Bei's terrifying contagious power was indeed suffocating, but getting used to it wasn't too bad. Occasionally feeling sad could also adjust his mood.
Liu Bei is still working on Du Mu's ideology, and can't help but praise him, Du Mu's determination is really firm, and he still hasn't agreed to join forces. It's just that his mental state has been poor lately, and he has started to have self-injurious tendencies.
Finally, all the herbs were moved into the medical hall. Cheng Dairen asked Liu Zhi to write two large characters to hang on the door. Thus, the mountain stronghold now had its own infirmary.
Ding! Medical Institute construction complete. Reward: 1 medical book.
The system prompt came at this moment, and Cheng Dalai didn't expect it to be a hidden task. He easily flipped out the medical book and saw three words written on it: Qianjin Fang.
Qian Jin Fang: Written by the King of Medicine, medical practitioners who have reached an excellent level can study it.
Cheng Dairen decided to hand it over to Liu Bei, he felt that the levels of Liu, Guan and Zhang were all upgradeable, they had legendary potential, how could they not be valued.
Is it necessary to cultivate a doctor from the descendants of Emperor Han Zhao Lie?
Nowadays, many families in Qingniu Mountain are stir-frying chili peppers, and the flavor is spreading everywhere. Finally, the exact news has been spread...
Some people have started to worry, some don't take it seriously and think it's just a rumor that will stop at the wise, and they are the wise ones. However, in any case, there are already people who can't sleep at night.
