Go to ancient times and engage in construction

Mrs. Wu and his wife went all out to entertain the distinguished guests, brought out the best meals in the house, and put the green wine bought in exchange for a piece of green cloth on the dining table. After tasting the ancient delicacies, the traveler could not help regretting that the food he brought was given to the black child. This meal really made them lose their appetite.

People in this time and space have not yet learned how to extract vegetable oil, and they use animal oil for cooking. People mainly cook and steam their dishes. On everyone’s table, except for one fresh fish, which is steamed, the others are all boiled. There are few seasonings, except lard, salt, and cornel. At that time, peppers had not been introduced to the Central Plains, and people used cornel with acrid and fragrant smell as seasoning.

The green wine that Wu Da bought in exchange for a horse of Dacheng cloth was nothing more than ordinary rice wine in the mouths of the two time travelers. Seeing how intoxicated Wu Da squinted his eyes tasting the wine, this ordinary rice wine seemed to be fine wine .

The most unpalatable thing is the rice. The rice used by everyone in Wu is indica rice, which is incompletely threshed. In the eyes of modern people, the cooked rice is only suitable for feeding pigs. According to Wu Da’s tone, only one tenth of the villagers in Nanbu Village I can often afford this kind of rice, and the rest are mixed with Shu and barley, and Shu is soybeans.The big wheat is boiled and eaten directly without peeling, because the stone mill in this time and space has not yet appeared.

Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui had no choice but to bite the bullet and stuff their mouths with great hospitality from the host. The steamed fish on the table was the most favorite of the two. Under the cover, the two blocked the fishy smell.

Among the three time-traveling creatures, Mu Mu ate the happiest one, because what he ate was the food brought out from the valley, and Zheng Yuming specially made pancakes for Mu Mu with meat floss.

Seeing Zheng Yuming feeding a wolf cub with meatloaf, Wu Da became more and more certain in his heart that these two were born extraordinary, and that in their overseas homeland, they must have been born in noble families.

After dinner, the two time travelers were not in a hurry to ask Wu Da to accompany them to the pier to trade daily necessities, but asked Wu Da about what jewelry is popular in this time and space.

People in this time and space, like their contemporaries in that time and space in the 21st century, respect jade and love gold, silver, agate and pearls.

"Doesn't anyone like that kind of shiny stone?" After listening to Wu Da's explanation, Chu Zhaohui asked suddenly.

"Shining stone? I've never heard of it. If there is such a stone, princes and nobles will definitely like it." Wu Da thought for a while, but he didn't know where there is a shiny stone. Maybe there are such stones overseas.

As soon as Zheng Yuming heard the shiny stone, he guessed that Chu Chaohui was talking about diamonds, so he said to Chu Chaohui in Mandarin: "The diamonds in this time and space are also rough stones. Without advanced cutting technology, no matter how big the diamond is, the quality will be better." All diamonds are for nothing."

Chu Zhaohui twitched the corner of his mouth at his companion, with a mocking look on his face.Zheng Yuming glanced at him suspiciously, not understanding what he said just now to offend this desperado from time and space.

Wu Da looked at the time traveler who communicated in Mandarin, and suddenly thought of something. "Is there any inconvenience around the two virtuous brothers?"

During lunch, Zheng Yuming, Chu Chaohui, and Wu Da recognized brothers from other lands, and Wu Da also called them from benefactor and strong man to virtuous brother.

What he meant by that was, do you two time-travelers have no money and want to sell things to trade items?

What Wu Da remembered just now was that Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui came from overseas wandering, and they didn't have the currency of Wu land on them. Of course, they had to sell their belongings to go to the market to buy things.

"That's right, Brother Ang, my two brothers drifted here penniless, and only brought some things from home. These things are treasures in our place. I don't know if they can be exchanged for money here." Zheng Yuming said from work. He took out a small glass ball from his trouser pocket, which he picked up from the wood's cardboard box, and he didn't know where the wood was found.

The wood leaning against Zheng Yuming's feet couldn't help wagging its tail when it saw the glass ball. It was found under the sofa in the office, and it might have been left behind by the grandson of Zheng Yuming's old cousin when he was playing in the office.

"Is this a glass bead?" Wu Da put the glass ball under the sunlight for a closer look. The glass ball is transparent, and no impurities can be seen under the sunlight.

"Yes."

Zheng Yuming replied without hesitation that there is no glass in this era, and only crystal glass mother stones are melted on a furnace with a temperature above 1000 ℃ to naturally condense into colored glaze.The glass ball does not have the color of colored glaze, but it is pure. If the villa cannot find another one, Zheng Yuming can guarantee that this glass ball is the only one in the world.

"This is really a treasure, one is worth ten bolts, no, it should be worth twenty bolts of cloth?"

Wu Da has only seen colored glaze, colored glaze in this time and space is equivalent to Hetian jade in the original time and space, and a piece of colored glaze is worth hundreds of pieces of city cloth. Although the small ball in his hand has no beautiful color, sometimes things are not. To win the championship with dazzling colors, as far as Wu Da knows, crystal glass mother stones cannot be melted so pure and transparent. Generally, things are rare and expensive. This is pure glass that has never been heard or seen before. He has no idea. The true value of the marble cannot be estimated.

"Brother Ang, we brothers are not familiar with the place here, so we want to ask Brother Ang to help us sell it."

When Zheng Yuming heard that this small glass ball was worth more than a dozen bolts of cloth, equivalent to the value of one or two mule carts, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.These two time-travelers already know how to convert the price of goods through cloth. An ordinary family can't save ten bolts of cloth to buy a mule cart in their entire life. I am very grateful.

"This glazed treasure can't be sold in Nanbu, so I have to find a buyer in Dacheng, but it's too expensive, and I'm afraid there will be mistakes on the way." Wu Da agreed to help the two sell it, but he was afraid that the glass ball would be robbed and would be robbed. If he was robbed, he couldn't afford to pay for it. Throughout the year, he went to Dacheng to do business, and he could earn at most ten bolts of cloth.

"Let's go to Dacheng with Brother Wu." Chu Chaohui understood that Wu Da wanted bodyguards.

"Well, we'll leave in three days." It takes one day to go back and forth to Dacheng, and they may not be able to sell the beads immediately when they arrive in the city, so they need to make more preparations for this trip, and they have to prepare to live in Dacheng Until the beads are sold.

"Well, we will come to Nanbu early in the morning in three days' time." Both Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming nodded and set the departure date.

Now that we are going to Dacheng, there is no need to go to the small place of Nanbu Wharf to buy things. Before the two time travelers leave, Wu Da asks his wife and Mrs. Peng to come out to help them measure the size, because the clothes of the time travelers are too strange. Wu Da asked his wife and maid to help them remove the two clothes, so that the two time travelers would not cause people to be surprised.

After measuring the clothes, the two travelers left and went back to the valley. Wu Dalian hurriedly pulled out the mule cart and wanted to see the two virtuous brothers for a ride. Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui couldn't refuse, so they could only gratefully accept Wu Da's kindness.

The wood was carried back into the backpack by Zheng Yuming and got on the mule cart. The mule cart passed by the Yukui Winery, but there were no two black children in the haystack. Zheng Yuming thought to himself that the two black children might have gone to the village to beg. .

Zheng Yuming's thinking was wrong, the two black children did not go begging, they followed Yu Kui's instructions and ran to the entrance of the village to wait for the two travelers.

Seeing Zheng Yuming handing food to the two children, Yu Kui judged that the two overseas people were kind-hearted, and with his insight into all situations, he also judged that the conditions of the two foreigners were good. There must be some property to rely on, otherwise, the two of them would not be dressed and flushed.There are more and more refugees coming here recently, Yu Kui can only be sympathetic, but he has no power to help, but for the two children who sleep outdoors next to the wine shop every day, Yu Kui wants to help, so he stepped forward to give advice One or two.

Seeing the two children kneeling in the middle of the dirt road with their heads planted in withered grass, Wu Dalian hurriedly stopped the mule cart.

"Two little babies, get out of the way quickly, don't get in the way."

The two thin children did not look at Wu Da, but only looked at Zheng Yuming with their eyes full of pleading. In their minds, this handsome foreigner was the kindest to them and the hope of their lives.

"My lord! Take me and my sister! My sister and I don't eat much, we can feed well. I can do a lot of work, and my sister can do it when she is older." The boy knelt and walked to the mule cart, looking eagerly at Zheng Yuming. He shouted, this is what Yu Kui taught him, and he has recited it more than twenty times.In order to make a good impression on the two strangers, the boy dragged his sister to the river and washed his hands and face with the cold water.

Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui glanced at each other, what Chugu saw was worse than they expected, the more they learned, the more difficult it was for them to survive, and the adoption of two children had never occurred to them.

"Two virtuous brothers, this big boy can help run errands by staying with me." After Wu Da saw the glass ball, he felt that the two virtuous brothers he had just met had a lot of money, so he adopted someone who could help with some work. The child was not a big problem. As for the four-year-old girl, Wu Da wisely shut up. Taking such a young girl back was useless except for wasting food.

Hearing that Wu Da only suggested adopting him, the boy couldn't help hugging his younger sister, his big eyes filled with tears.

"Take them all!" Chu Zhaohui suddenly said, he admired the boy's actions, he is a caring child.

After Chu Zhaohui made a decision, Zheng Yuming couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The two poor children made him feel depressed.

On a small mound not far from the entrance of the village, there was a thin child lying on the ground. This child was the 'mouse' who robbed the food of the two siblings. He took it away and took a bite towards the mule cart, despising the short-sightedness of the two siblings in his heart.

Hmph, it seems to be climbing a high branch now, and I will regret it when I wash it and put it in the steamer!His little mouse fled all the way from Weiguo, and saw countless homeless children being tricked into cooking by adults. If it wasn't for his cleverness and inhumanity, how could there be such a lively little mouse? It's a pity, sir. Without these two brothers and sisters, he would lose half of his food sources. The little mouse touched his flat belly and began to worry about his future survival.

Wu Da sent them to the vicinity of the gap before returning.Zheng Yuming, Chu Chaohui and others were not around, so they took their two children to climb up the mountain. Boys aged 7 or 8 are better, but girls around [-] years old are not. Such a small child can't walk fast, let alone climb a mountain.Seeing that his sister couldn't keep up, the little boy dragged his sister anxiously. He was afraid that the two strangers would leave his sister behind if they got impatient.Seeing these two children supporting each other, Zheng Yuming felt his eyes swell. His niece was the same size as a little boy, and was favored like a princess at home. Comparing the two children from time and space, the difference between them is simply heaven and earth.

Zheng Yuming took the wood out of the backpack, put the little girl in the backpack, and walked with the wood in his arms.Chu Chaohui originally wanted to carry the little boy on his back, but the little boy shook his head and insisted on walking by himself.

Chu Chaohui took a deep look at the boy: "Since you don't want to help, then follow closely. It's far away from where you live. If you can't keep up, we won't wait for you."

The little boy didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.He wants to prove that he is not a waste, that he is useful to the strangers, and that the strangers feel that they will not suffer from adopting their brothers and sisters.

The four of them rushed back to their place of residence at four o'clock in the afternoon, and entered the yard. The two time travelers did not enter the villa, but put their two children in the yard to boil water for a bath. Zheng Yuming carried the little girl on his back for less than two hours. He felt itchy all over his body, obviously the parasites on the little girl jumped on him.

The two time travelers are unwilling to let fleas and lice exist in the place where they live no matter what, so the first task of returning to the villa is to clean it thoroughly. In the greenhouse, the clothes of the two children were stripped and thrown into the stove. They were also shaved and burned, and they were changed and washed three times in the wooden barrel before the two children were washed clean. In order to prevent parasites on the wood, the wood was also washed with shampoo by Zheng Yuming. After washing, the two children The child and a puppy were wrapped in quilts and placed on the sofa in the villa's office.After taking care of the three small things, the two transmigrants take care of themselves. Both of them also need to wash, and soak their clothes in boiling water to scald the parasites to death, so that the two sets of clothes can continue to wear. use.

"Brother, are the two adults going to eat us?" The younger sister was wrapped in a soft quilt. Although her body was warm like never before, she was shivering.

"No, the adults won't eat us." The elder brother is staring at Mu Mu who wants to crawl out of the quilt. This is the task that Zheng Yuming ordered before leaving. Be sure not to let Mu Mu get out of the quilt. The temperature is very low now Well, if the puppy catches a cold and gets sick in this time and space, it will be troublesome. There are no veterinarians and veterinary medicines here.

"Really not? The mouse said that adults cook children after washing them." The younger sister hugged her elder brother tightly, and the elder brother was her only backer.

"My lord won't!" The elder brother tilted his head, his intuition told him that these two strangers would not eat them, because they treated his brother and sister the same as Wood, since strangers are so precious to a puppy, if you want to come No ill will towards them.

The elder brother comforted his younger sister so much, he completely forgot the fear he felt when his head was shaved and his clothes were stripped. At that time, he thought that he would have the same bad luck of being eaten as the children who entered the steamer in the mouth of the mouse.
