Chen Mu looked at Shang Huan with a complicated expression.
He gave Shang Huan more than 100 kilograms of "secret barbecue ingredients", but Shang Huan sold them for forty or fifty white jade coins.
On average, one white jade coin is needed for every two kilograms.
That's real barbecue stuff!
"Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?"
"The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. What is there to be afraid of!" Shang Huanhun smiled nonchalantly.
Chen Mu shook his head secretly.
I don’t know what strange attributes Shang Huan has awakened.
Once he encounters counterfeiting or adulteration, this fat man always comes up with all kinds of weird ideas and is extremely bold.
It’s better to control the shipment volume a little bit.
The way this fat guy plays, he is likely to attract investigation.
"Have a meal."
……
After dinner, the three of them drank herbal tea and chatted.
"Are you tired lately? Why do you look like you haven't woken up yet?" Shang Huan asked, looking at Mr. Hao's tired face.
"How can I not be tired!" Old Hao took a long puff of his cigarette and complained, "It's all because of those crazy monsters."
"In the first few days, I took a nap and a group of black rats gnawed half an acre of land."
"I didn't dare to close my eyes after that! I wandered around the fields all night long."
"Farming is really hard." Old Hao sighed: "It's not that I'm squeamish, look at Brother Chen, he is as young and strong as me, just ask him if he is tired."
Chen Mu sighed bitterly: "How can I not be tired?!"
Every night I have to go to the fields and set up the copper basin formation before I can come back to sleep.
After more than half a month, I have lost several hours of sleep!
I'm so tired!
Friends, there is one more chapter. It's a little late, don't wait, read it tomorrow.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 223 Attack
"It's even harder for people who grow medicine. Not only is it hard work, it's also dangerous." Shang Huan sighed and said, "The powerful exotic beasts have all gone to the medicine fields."
"Not only were the medicinal fields destroyed, but several people also died!" Shang Huan shook his head and sighed.
"Luckily I sent them my secret barbecue ingredients to help them make up for some of their losses, otherwise this year would have been even more difficult!"
Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at Shang Huan.
From the way you talk, you are still a good person?
"We didn't know how much risk we were taking to help them."
"Xiao Shang, you are just too soft-hearted!" Old Hao looked disappointed.
"I won't stop you from being kind, but we also have to eat. It's not too much to raise the price," Mr. Hao advised sincerely.
"Okay." Shang Huan looked embarrassed: "After all, it's not easy for us either."
Chen Mu: “…”
I often feel out of tune with you because I am not shameless enough.
Do you still want to save your face?
"Brother Chen, just go ahead and build it with confidence."
"The good days are yet to come!" Shang Huan waved his hand and promised.
I’m afraid that I’ll earn money but not be able to spend it!
……
Chen Muxu looked over and saw Shang Huan and the other person discussing the price increase enthusiastically.
"Next time you go to deliver the tranquilizing pills, you should give them a couple more hits."
After a long while, the two of them took a sip of herbal tea and stopped, feeling unsatisfied.
"We used to envy those who grew medicinal herbs, but this year the situation is the opposite." Mr. Hao laughed happily.
"Who let them occupy the Feng Shui treasure land?" Shang Huan also laughed.
Is it because of the earth’s spiritual energy?
So all the powerful exotic beasts ran to the medicinal fields?
Chen Mu suddenly realized.
"Brother Chen wants to learn how to grow medicinal herbs. I think it would be better to wait for two years," suggested Mr. Hao.
"No one knows if there will be more strange beasts causing trouble next year."
"Besides, that skill is not easy to learn."
"The expenses are high. Don't even think about making money from the medicinal fields without one or two years of study and experimentation." Mr. Hao said earnestly.
Chen Mu glanced at the growing nightshade and sighed, "It really cost a lot."
But it is true that you can make money.
Just those twenty-odd trees were enough for him to recover all his invested capital.
But Mr. Hao was not wrong.
It is indeed impossible to go to the medicinal material cultivation area in the past two years.
If there were to be another disturbance by strange beasts, it wouldn’t matter if the medicinal fields were destroyed, but we would be afraid that lives would be endangered.
"It's safer to grow yellow sprout rice."
"Yeah. It's a bit tiring, but you don't have to face powerful monsters." Old Hao puffed out white smoke with an expression of approval.
……
At night, at the foot of the low hill, there are rice fields with yellow sprouts.
Chen Mu strolled among the yellow rice.
When I walked to the position calculated in advance, a copper basin with white smoke billowing out of it appeared out of thin air.
After placing more than ten copper basins in a row, the narrow and long yellow rice field was completely covered by the bewitching miasma.
Chen Mu hummed a little tune and leisurely returned to the courtyard on the hillside, where he lay in a rocking chair and looked at the sky.
As time passed, incidents of strange beasts causing chaos recurred from time to time, but they had little impact on Chen Mu.
The area where he lives is quite barren and remote even compared to other planting areas.
There may be flying insects and small animals rushing out of the mountains and forests, but large strange beasts have never appeared.
With the help of the bewitching miasma, these small strange beasts can be easily defeated, and he almost doesn't need to patrol and check at night.
He glanced at the nightshade on the west side of the courtyard and said, "Even if you plan to grow herbs in the future, you can't go to the herb field."
"It's still safer here."
"And I also have the White Jade Plate, which allows me to gain experience points anywhere."
I have to thank Dong Cheng. If it weren't for his gift, I would definitely be like the other lower-court disciples, trying my best to get into the medicine field area and save money to go to the dojo to practice.
"With it, every place can be a dojo."
"As long as we make enough money, everything will be fine!"
Chen Mu looked at the white jade plate with satisfaction.
Suddenly, the stone slabs shattered and flew into the air.
A bloody mouth as big as a millstone suddenly appeared, and swallowed the whole thing, including the low table, in one gulp.
Then he twisted his body, as if drawing a bow, and shot out in the blink of an eye.
The hard stone wall on the east side was like paper and was broken in an instant.
Chen Mu's pupils suddenly shrank.
Almost instinctively, I raised my feet and chased after him.
A black shadow fell from the sky.
boom!
A thick tail came from the air. Chen Mu was like a ball, and was hit straight into the air, smashing through the west wall in an instant.
boom!
Stones flew everywhere, and Chen Mu jumped out of the pile with a gloomy face.
With a flash of his figure, he chased after the low hill without hesitation.
Just now, he had seen the attacker clearly. A terrifying snake-like beast!
And it snatched Chen Mu's white jade plate!
As soon as he jumped onto the ridge, he saw a big hole appear in the small valley.
The giant snow-white snake had already burrowed halfway into the ground.
Chen Mu suddenly yelled: "Five ghosts moving mountains!"
A cloud of black smoke followed the white-scaled snake and burrowed into the ground.
boom!
The huge snake head was pushed out at once, but Chen Mu couldn't help but change his expression.
