Chapter 137 Doubt of Life
In the next few days, Chen Xue stopped going out. She pretended to be seriously injured and lay in the carriage.
In fact, he was studying how to cook delicious food with Xiaodie in the space.
Lord Chen and his mother were not idle either. They took the servants to distribute ginger soup.
When they were in the county town, they added another batch of ginger. Although they bought a lot this time, they did not distribute it to everyone for free.
But exchange.
In other words, exchange something.
But this thing is not silver or other property.
Because Chen Xue and others had discussed that a bowl of ginger soup actually only cost one or two cents, it was impossible to charge several taels!
Collecting too little of these few cents is of no use at all, but collecting too much will only cause dissatisfaction among these people.
So, after discussing it, a few people decided to barter.
This thing is actually "knowledge".
For example, if you know how to make a certain dish, you can write down a recipe.
Or, if you know how to do a certain handicraft, you can also write down the techniques.
In short, no matter what technology it is, as long as they find it useful, they can exchange it for a bowl of ginger soup.
Although technology was sometimes priceless in ancient times, it also depends on what kind of technology it was.
They are basically officials or come from large families, and they don't care much about the technology that the common people value.
Moreover, many advanced technologies are often hidden in large families.
So, it seems that it is not worth exchanging technology for ginger soup, but in fact, in the ice and snow, a bowl of warm ginger soup that can dispel the cold is absolutely priceless.
Not to mention, this is Chen family's ginger soup.
Everyone knows that Chen Xue is a fairy. A few days ago, the Chen family brought someone back to life, and they all saw it with their own eyes.
Even if they didn't know it at the time, they heard about it later. After all, the woman went to the Chen family every day to kneel down and thank them.
In short, the Chen family is a family of immortals, and the things they take out are definitely not ordinary things.
Therefore, they think that exchanging useless technology for a bowl of ginger soup that may be a panacea is definitely a big profit.
In a short time, Chen's ginger soup was sold out in less than half an hour.
Fortunately, they bought more than 100 kilograms at the time. Even if they planted dozens of kilograms as seeds, there were still 70 or 80 kilograms left.
Seventy or eighty kilograms is enough for them for more than half a month.
Moreover, compared with their efforts, the rewards they receive are worthwhile and the contribution value is continuous.
Although Chen Xue did not go out, she sat in the space and watched the contribution value continue to rise.
One hundred and fifty thousand.
This is the current contribution value, which is equivalent to 150,000 taels of silver. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, if it is converted into real silver, it may be enough to crush Chen Xue to death.
Chen Xue and others made a lot of money through Jiang Tang, and these prisoners were not angry at all. Instead, they became more grateful to the Chen family.
Because after drinking the ginger soup, they really felt warmer and were less likely to get sick or catch a cold when walking on the snow.
And no one froze to death afterwards.
In addition, Lord Chen also discussed with Xu Tian and decided to continue letting the old women and children ride in carriages to prevent them from freezing to death in the cold weather.
Xu Tian naturally had no objection, and Lord Chen had also given up two carriages for the elderly, women and children to ride in.
This time, when Lord Chen gave up the carriage, the prisoners didn't say anything. Instead, they all praised the Chen family for their kindness.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the new station.
Although everyone had enough clothes and food, they still couldn't bear walking on the snow in the cold weather.
In the post station, the yamen runners would provide rooms for all the prisoners to squeeze into, which was much more comfortable than sleeping in the snow.
In addition to the large bunk beds, the inn also has other small rooms, or independent rooms, suitable for one or two people, or families.
After Xu Tianliang revealed his identity, he was naturally arranged to stay in a separate room. Xu Tian then asked the yamen runners at the post station to arrange a few rooms for Lord Chen and his men.
But Mr. Chen refused, saying that the whole family should share one room and give the room to other prisoners. This move once again won the favor of the prisoners.
Even the postmen at the post station were surprised. It was the first time they had seen such a prisoner. He refused to take the room available and instead wanted to squeeze in with everyone else.
In fact, Lord Chen and others did not sleep in the room, but in the space. Perhaps it was because they were used to sleeping on the bed in the space.
Moreover, the sound insulation of the rooms in the inn is not very good, so what they want to say can be easily heard.
The next morning, just as the Chen family was about to leave the post station, they encountered a group of soldiers.
The Chen family's guards came over immediately and said, "Master Chen, this is the general's personal guard. He should be here to receive the medicine for the wound."
Lord Chen then realized that when he asked Xiaoqing to hand over the clue given by Zhao Guang to Xie Yunshang, he also told him that he could send someone to get the medicine for the wound.
I didn't expect Xie Yunshang to be so fast.
Lord Chen immediately found Xu Tian and asked him to take the team away first. Xu Tian naturally had no objection and left with the team without looking back.
The postmen at the post station looked at each other in confusion, somewhat doubting their lives. Aren’t this Lord Chen and his family criminals?
What is this operation?
The postmen were stunned when they saw Xu Tian and other yamen runners taking the prisoners away and leaving Lord Chen and others behind.
However, they were even more surprised when they saw Lord Chen wave his hand and Xu Tian left respectfully.
In particular, there were several yamen runners guarding the Chen family like guards, which made them even more surprised.
Why do I always feel that the entire exile team listens to the Chen family?
Could it be that the Chen family is a big shot in the court?
For a moment, all these postmasters were tempted and hurried over to please the Chen family, asking them if they needed help.
The Chen family finally managed to get them to leave, and then they handed over to Xie Yunshang's personal guards.
Chen Xue asked them to move a few boxes from their own carriage, and then the guards took the boxes from their own carriage and moved them to their carriage under Chen Xue's instructions.
The Chen family's personal guards were extremely surprised, because they had no idea how so many boxes appeared in the carriage.
You know, the carriage is not big, how could it possibly hide so many boxes? Moreover, they have been following the Chen family, how could they not know that there are boxes inside.
But they soon returned to normal, after all, they had seen too many shocking things during this period.
Having seen many flashes of swords and all kinds of grand scenes on the battlefield in the past, they were able to keep their emotions under control, but they were still shocked several times.
This time I was just slightly surprised, and then I got used to it.
"Aren't you going to check it out?"
Seeing that Xie Yunshang's personal guards had moved so many supplies, the value of which was several times higher than their wound medicine, and those personal guards loaded the boxes of wound medicine onto the carriage without checking.
"The general said that as long as it's given by Lord Chen, there's no need to check it!"
Lord Chen was indeed moved by Zi Xie Yunshang's arrangement and continued, "But you gave too much money!"
"This is the general's order!" the guard said. "Because of the heavy snow and the rush to get here, we only have one carriage of supplies. The general said he would make up for it next time."
"Forehead……"
Chen Xue looked at the box filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and jade, and was dazzled. But when she heard what they said, she was speechless. Rich people are just rich people.
