Chapter 71 The Blacksmith Holds the Embroidery Needle
"I really don't know about this! We need to test whether you have the qualifications to practice. The Immortal Cultivation Plane should have it for sale. You should work hard to save up gold coins and we'll talk about it later!"
Xia Xing'er: I'm just asking out of boredom. I don't want to think about these things for now. We'll talk about it later when we have the chance.
In order to store more light of merit, Xia Xing'er also emptied out all the bandit dens along the way.
There were weapons, food, poultry, horses, gold, silver, cloth, and everything they could see was taken.
The bandits were also dealt with, and some food was left in the villages along the way.
It’s no wonder that I have accumulated more than 200 merits in these few days.
Finally they arrived in Jinyang County, and Xia Xinger's mental strength had reached the fifth level, which was a rapid progress.
It was already noon when they arrived at Jinyang County, and the exile team found a place with water to rest.
After traveling for several days, everyone sat on the ground like eggplants hit by frost, not saying a word. They were extremely well-behaved.
The person Zhang San sent to the city to inquire about the news came and told the situation in the city. Jinyang County was not under martial law like Qingyang County.
He thought about it and finally came to the Xia family: "Master Xia, the team needs to rest here. Our officers need to escort these bandits to the county government office to exchange for some silver and replenish some supplies."
These bandits are all on the government's wanted list, and each head costs at least ten taels of silver.
Xia Chengsheng glanced at Xia Xing'er and saw him shaking his head, so he smiled and said to Zhang San: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, we won't go this time."
Zhang San was obviously relieved. He was really afraid that the Xia family would follow him into the city.
For some reason, he had a hunch that if the Xia family followed him into the city, something bad would definitely happen.
Xia Xing'er smiled silently at Zhang San's expression. This time, she really didn't want to go into the city with him.
Zhang San, not knowing what he was thinking, said to Xia Chengsheng, "Master Xia, two-thirds of our officers are going to escort the bandits, so after I leave, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on this team."
There were nearly two hundred pairs of shackles and shackles in the team, all of which were given to the bandits.
Although they have behaved very well these days, Zhang San is still worried that someone will take the opportunity to escape.
He was well aware of the Xia family's abilities, and he felt more at ease having them watching over him.
Xia Chengsheng promised: "Master Zhang, go ahead. We will help keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to escape, they will have to get past us."
With Xia Chengsheng's words, Zhang San felt reassured.
She looked at the twenty horses behind Xia Xing'er. These were the horses that the old village chief and his men brought back from Qingfeng Village. They were given to Zhang San and others, asking them to take good care of the Xia family on the road.
Zhang San also knew that if it weren't for the Xia family, the villagers would not have given them these horses. If he wanted to exchange them all for silver, he must get the Xia family's consent.
"Master Xia, please take a look at these horses to see if there are any you want to keep. If not, we can take them all into the city and exchange them for silver."
Xia Xing'er actually wanted these horses, maybe they would be useful to her in the future. After all, she still had a rebellion system. However, it was really inconvenient with so many people watching her, so she could only do it.
Xia Chengsheng looked at his daughter again and saw her shaking her head at her: "No, you can take it to the city to exchange for silver. We have a carriage and a donkey cart, which is enough for us."
"Okay, we'll be leaving then. Please take care of the team."
Zhang San turned and left. Xia Chengsheng shouted again, "These horses are of good quality. Don't condense the milk. If it were in the capital, a horse like this would cost at least fifty taels of silver. Now in Jinyang County, it's at least forty taels a horse."
Xia Chengsheng spent his early years on the battlefield, and he must have touched hundreds of horses.
He was afraid that the good horse would be sold at a low price, so he couldn't help but speak again: "Master Zhang, let me say one more thing. When we get to the market, you should ask for a high price, and then gradually lower it!"
Zhang San still thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Xia, I understand. I will definitely not sell this horse at a low price."
After Zhang San and his men left with the bandits and their horses, the team suddenly became much emptier.
The Xia family set up a stove in the open space and started cooking lunch.
The grassland slowly began to recover. Although it was an exile, it was really quite interesting.
The whole family was busy, and the Xia brothers and sisters and the remaining officials took turns guarding the prisoners.
Finally having some free time, Xia Xing'er asked Jiujiu to keep an eye on the entire team, and she went into the space to sort out the supplies she had collected in the past few days.
The chickens in the space have chicken coops, the ducks have duck coops, the geese have goose coops, and the pigs have pig coops.
The horses were put on the hills and allowed to run freely.
Now she has enough weapons in her space to form an army.
The food is enough to feed a country for two or three years, not to mention the money. There should be no one richer than her.
After the space is organized, keep the useful ones and some used by others, and continue to put them in the system space for Jiujiu to sell.
Xia Xinger came to the system space and saw Jiujiu hanging on the link with his fate.
"Jiujiu, did you secretly spend my gold coins?"
Jiujiu was a little nervous. The host was too cunning. It just bought milk tea from the modern plane every day, but it could still be discovered.
It is now considering whether to conceal the truth or tell the truth. After a struggle between conscience and man, it finally decides to tell the truth.
"That Xing'er, I only spent a little bit every day, really just a little bit!"
Xia Xing'er said with a look of astonishment, "I knew it would be like this. Tell me, how much did you spend this time and what did you buy?"
Jiujiu said pitifully, "It's really cheap. The milk tea in that dimension is one gold coin per cup. I only buy three cups a day at most! The total cost is no more than one hundred gold coins!"
Xia Xing'er suddenly felt that she had gone too far. Look how aggrieved Jiujiu was.
"Okay, I won't blame you. You can still drink milk tea every day from now on, but you can't drink anything else, or you'll regret it!"
Jiujiu immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Then he thought of something and continued, "Xing'er, um, I... I've accepted the order for the Siheyuan, and tomorrow is the last day!"
Xia Xing'er stared at it with wide eyes. "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me? What will happen if the delivery can't be made on time?"
He looked at her anxiously for a long time and said weakly, "It happened a few days ago. From the time the order was placed, there was a seven-day lead time."
Seeing Xia Xing'er's increasingly ugly expression, he continued, "I wanted to tell you, but I forgot about it when I got busy."
Jiujiu swallowed his saliva and continued, "If we can't deliver on time, we have to pay ten times the compensation!"
Xia Xing'er now wants to beat Jiujiu up. If she hadn't had time to come into the system space today, she would have really had to pay compensation.
"Jiujiu, I hope this is the last time. If anything happens next time, tell me immediately."
Jiujiu was wrong this time. "Xing'er, I know. I promise this is the last time. If there is anything in the future, I will tell you the first time."
Xia Xing'er was very satisfied with its attitude, but she thought it would be better to spend all the gold coins.
Xia Xing'er came to the plane trader and finally made up her mind to buy the all-round robot she had always wanted.
It's worthy of being a product of high technology. At first glance, it looks no different from a real person, except why it's shiny. Even though she knew it wasn't a real person, Xia Xing'er blushed.
Although she has lived two lives, she has never seen a naked man.
She quickly took out a set of men's clothes from the space and put them on.
Activate it directly according to the instructions, put it in the portable space, and let him take care of the space.
Looking at the remaining gold coins, Xia Xing'er still didn't give up the idea of cultivating immortality. She looked at the cultivation interface again. There was a Changchun Jue that caught her eye. A voice in her heart told her, "Buy it!"
She still couldn't resist the temptation, spent a huge amount of money to buy it, and threw it into her personal space.
He used the remaining gold coins to buy some poisons that did not exist in this world, and also bought the matching antidotes. In the end, the gold coins were gone again.
Looking at the balance for a long time, I felt like crying. Although the things were provided by Xia Xing'er, it was him who posted the links, one after another. Those were the results of his labor, and now they are gone, and he can't say anything!
Xia Xing'er looked at it, looking as if it was about to cry but couldn't, and said with a smile: "Look, I left you some gold coins to buy milk tea."
Looking at the pitiful ten gold coins for a long time, it wanted to cry even more.
Xia Xing'er continued, "Don't worry, we'll go to the capital to buy more tonight, and we'll have it back then."
"I've seen you drinking that milk tea every day. Would you like to order me one too? I want to try what it tastes like."
When Jiujiu heard that they would go to the capital to purchase goods in the evening, it didn't seem so sad anymore. It was not impossible for it to order a milk tea for Xia Xing'er.
"What flavor do you want?"
Xia Xing'er asked doubtfully, "Can I choose the flavor myself?"
Jiujiu said proudly: "Of course, you ancient people will definitely not understand?"
Xia Xing'er suddenly had the urge to hit someone, but she finally held it back. Well, for a high-tech product system, she was indeed an ancient person, and that was undeniable.
"What flavors are there?"
Jiujiu said proudly: "Strawberry flavor, apple flavor, lychee flavor, mango flavor, watermelon flavor, original flavor..."
After listening to this long speech, Xia Xing'er felt a headache. Are there so many flavors?
"Jiujiu, do you have any suggestions?"
"Xing'er, since this is your first time drinking it, I'll give you the original flavor. You can try the other flavors later!"
Xia Xing'er nodded in agreement.
"Can!"
Xia Xing'er soon drank the original milk tea, and it was really delicious, a taste she had never tasted before.
She decided that she would take time to come in for a drink when she had time in the future, and if she had the chance, she would also let her family try it.
After drinking the milk tea, Xia Xing'er felt that she had stayed there for a little too long, so she left the space and walked towards the camp.
As soon as she came back, she smelled the aroma of meat and rice. Even though she had just drunk milk tea and felt full, her appetite was aroused.
She strode directly towards where the Xia family was.
I saw Liu Youran holding a leg of lamb and a chicken roasting on the fire, and the three little ones squatted in front of him and drooled. You can't blame them, it was really too delicious.
"Grandma, when will it get better? Zibo's stomach has been growling for a long time!"
Xia Zichuan also murmured to herself, "It smells so good! I'm sure I'll be able to eat my fill today!"
Although Xia Ziyu didn't say anything, that longing look said it all.
Liu Youran smiled and said to them, "It's almost done. Wait a moment while I stir-fry a few dishes. We'll be ready soon."
She stood up and looked. Where was the pot that was originally placed next to her?
Who can tell her where her pot went?
The three little ones looked at Liu Youran looking for something and asked blankly, "Grandma, what are you looking for?"
Liu Youran said, "Looking for the pot? I just put it right here. How come it disappeared while I was roasting a chicken and a leg of lamb?"
"Grandma, your pot was taken away by Grandpa. I saw it, and Grandpa even made a shushing gesture to me!"
"Grandma, I can testify. I saw it too!"
"I saw it too. Grandfather set up a stove over there and seemed to be cooking!"
"Grandfather's dishes should be ready!"
The three little ones kept arguing with each other and sold out their grandfather completely!
Liu Youran looked blankly at the direction her grandson was pointing. Wow, the food was already on the table, and the only things left were her roasted lamb leg and roasted chicken!
How could this old guy steal her job? Her only pleasure in exile was to prepare meals for her family. Now someone has snatched her job away, and she is depressed.
When she walked in and took a look, she was shocked to see that this old guy not only stole her job, but also secretly learned her specialty dishes. No wonder he had to light the fire for her every time she cooked. It turned out that he had other intentions!
Sweet and sour spare ribs, vinegar cabbage, stir-fried lamb, spicy rabbit, steamed fish.
Not bad, these are all her favorite dishes. This man, who has never even served her a glass of water since she married him, can actually learn to cook such complicated dishes.
It was impossible for Liu Youran not to be surprised. This really was a case of doing great things quietly!
Liu Youran looked at Xia Chengsheng as if he had just met him today: "Oh my, I really didn't expect that our handsome and domineering Marquis Changxin could do such a thing!"
"I remember someone saying that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Tsk tsk, what's the point?"
Xia Chengsheng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Madam, what are you talking about? When did your husband ever say such a thing? You must have remembered it wrongly."
He glanced around again, making sure no one was around, and then continued softly, "I do this to make things easier for you, Madam."
He felt really distressed every day when he watched his wife prepare three meals a day for the family.
His wife was also brought up in pampered condition. After she married him, there were servants in the house and she didn't have to cook for herself. Now that the family has encountered a huge change, they have to rely on themselves for everything on the road of exile.
Liu Youran felt sweet inside: "Let's not talk about anything else. Where did these fish and rabbits come from?"
Xia Chengsheng: "The fish are stored in the space ring, and as for the rabbits, go to the forest over there and catch them."
Liu Youran looked at the hand that had only known how to hold weapons and pens before, and now it picked up the spatula like a blacksmith holding an embroidery needle!
