Chapter 8
After passing through Chen Feng, Yi Xiaochuan fell asleep in Duke Lu's house for seven days and seven nights, and Chen Feng's ears finally got a short period of peace.
However, after these few days, Chen Feng gradually realized a serious problem.
Lu Gong had been robbed by the robbers, and his belongings were basically looted, and the savings in this family were not much. Lu Gong was old, he had already retired and returned home, and had already lost the ability to earn money.
One day, Duke Lu was talking with his eldest daughter in the courtyard. Both of them were worried about their living expenses.
"Father, we only have ten taels of silver left now. I'm afraid we won't even be able to last this little silver."
Lu Zhi sighed, and Lu Gong beside her was even more worried.
"That's right. Although those thieves didn't harm our lives, they took away all our silver. Now the silver in our hands is hard to live on, let alone"
Originally, Mr. Lu thought he could take this opportunity to betroth his beloved daughters to Chen Feng as his wife, but now his pockets are so shy that he doesn't have any extra money to add to the dowry for his daughters.
"Daddy, why don't I sell that golden-haired coat, otherwise, the days ahead for us will be really sad."
As the eldest daughter, Lu Zhi knew that under such circumstances, she had to bear the heavy burden of the Lu family.
But when Mr. Lu heard that Pheasant was going to sell the golden-haired dress, he shook his head, "No, absolutely not, Pheasant!"
"Why not?"
Lu Zhi really didn't understand, at this time, why Lu Gong still cherishes these things outside of him.
"Those gold-threaded clothes are a gift from the emperor. If you dispose of the gift from the emperor at will, your life and mine will be in danger!"
With Qin Huang's tyrannical temperament, he would indeed consider Lu Gong's move as "big rebellion", and it is inevitable to confiscate his family and give him death.
In the early years, when Lu Gong was still young, he only obtained some small official positions and used some salary to support his family.Now that he is old, Emperor Qin will not take Lu family like him seriously. If he offends him a little, he will definitely end up annihilated.
Chen Feng, who was behind the corridor, happened to pass by the yard, and heard the conversation between their father and daughter, and then realized that Lu Gong was already stretched.
If you can help Lu Gong solve the urgent need at this time, maybe you can gain Lu Gong's trust, achieve the task assigned by the system, and thus get the magic touch.
"Grand Lu, Miss Pheasant, have you seen the notice posted outside the city gate?"
A few days ago, Chen Feng was bored in this mansion, so he went out for a stroll, and when he came to the city, he happened to see the notice posted by the county magistrate.
The general meaning of the notice is that, a few days ago, the county magistrate's newly built house was hit by an earthquake, and all the roofs that had just been built collapsed.In this accident, the strong men who were responsible for building the house for the county magistrate suffered countless casualties.For a while, there was a shortage of coolies to build houses, so notices were posted to recruit workers to build houses.
Chen Feng explained the content of the county magistrate's announcement to Lu Gong, and Lu Gong waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this.
"Mr. Chen, don't be joking. At my age, my bones will fall apart, let alone build a house. That's the work of strong men."
Lu Zhi also blinked those big eyes, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Chen, do you want my father to be a coolie?"
No matter how poor their Lu family is, they will not be reduced to the situation of grassroots people, who need to use coolies to earn silver taels.
"No, we have to use our wisdom to make money."
Chen Feng shook his head, pointed to his own head and said, "Think about it, that county magistrate has suffered heavy losses in this accident. Similarly, most of the grassroots people in the surrounding area have also suffered damage from the earthquake. It is really hard to find people who can do coolies to build a house. If you can save labor and effort to build a good house, then the county magistrate must be very happy."
"Indeed, Mr. Chen has a clever plan?"
Lu Gong nodded repeatedly, feeling that what Chen Feng said was very reasonable, but he didn't know what to do.
"I have a way to help this magistrate."
As Chen Feng said, he brought some wooden sticks and some ropes. He tied these wooden sticks and ropes into a lever bracket, and then tied a stone to one end.
That's right, this is the principle of leverage. Only one fulcrum is needed to lift heavy objects easily.
Lu Gong and Lu Zhi stared blankly at Chen Feng's operation. They couldn't believe that such a light lever could lift a heavy object.
"Miao, Mr. Chen's method is really wonderful!"
After mastering this method, Lu Gong went to the county magistrate's home that day and dedicated his wonderful plan to the county magistrate.
In the evening, Lu Gong returned happily with a box full of silver.
"Mr. Chen, just as you said, when I presented this wonderful plan to the county magistrate, I easily helped him solve the problem."
This box full of silver is exactly the thank you gift from the county town to Mr. Lu.
【Ding!Congratulations to the host for completing the task: unlock new skills and turn stones into gold! 】
The system sound echoed in Chen Feng's ears again, and he saw a burst of golden light suddenly appearing in front of him, and these golden lights suddenly landed on Chen Feng's fingers.
呲!
Chen Feng felt a stabbing pain in his fingertips. He wanted to lower his head to look at his fingertips, only to find that his index finger had turned golden.
"Is this the legendary Goldfinger?"
Chen Feng looked at his golden index finger, and immediately smiled. He picked up a stone on the ground, and tapped it lightly with his right index finger.
Ding!
In an instant, the whole body of this stone became golden yellow, shining golden under the sunlight.
Chen Feng picked up the piece of gold, put it in his mouth and bit it hard.
quack!
"Ouch! The system does not deceive me! This is really real gold!"
Chen Feng happily put this big gold nugget into his sleeve, and said with satisfaction.
In the backyard of the mansion, there happened to be a rockery, and beside the rockery was a pond that had already dried up.There were many pebbles of different sizes in that pool, Chen Feng used his golden finger that can turn stones into gold, and quickly lit a basket full of gold nuggets.
Lu Gonglu passed by here and saw a basket full of gold, his eyes were glued to the gold and he couldn't move it.
"Here, where did this gold come from?"
Lu Gong asked in surprise.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Feng waved the gold finger of his right hand, and lightly touched one of the round pebbles.
Noisy!
With just one sound, the cobblestone instantly turned into a shiny gold nugget.
"Is this witchcraft or alchemy?"
