Chapter 24 Life

The red flesh color is particularly attractive, attracting many wealthy people from the dock to buy it.

Beef was a meat that only wealthy people could afford in the Li Dynasty, because it was a serious crime to kill a cow privately.

Dongtu is a farming civilization, and cattle are an important means of production. The private slaughter of cattle is strictly prohibited in all dynasties.

The old, weak, sick, and injured must be killed. They must be reported to the official and can only be slaughtered with official approval. Moreover, the hide, tendon, and horns of the cow must be handed over for free, as they are military supplies.

What made Qin He a little strange was that the shopkeeper of Niuhang was wiping tears while watching the waiter cut the beef, as if his father had died.

There are so many cows in the cattle row, and it is normal for them to grow old, sick, and die. Do you cry every time one of them dies?

You are not Sister Lin.

"Virtue, bah!"

Qin He spit, carried the big pot and left.

As a result, after taking only a few steps, I heard someone yelling from behind.

"Catch the thief!!"

"A thief who steals money!"

Qin He turned around and saw a very wealthy man pointing at a running figure and shouting.

He strode to catch up, but his speed was too far behind.

The running figure was very thin but very nimble, darting through the crowd quickly, crossing the street and disappearing in a flash around the corner.

Rich people can still find people when they run around the corner, but they can only curse and say harsh words. In fact, they may not even be able to see their faces clearly.



Hou Xiaoliu ran for a long time and stopped under a wall. The fast running made his chest rise and fall violently. He took a breath and looked around. He looked around and opened the money bag he just got. There was a small ingot inside.

Silver and a dozen copper coins.

After weighing it, he estimated that there were four small pieces, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"Let's share half of the money."

At this moment, a voice in Leng Buding's ear almost scared him out of his mind.

He hid the money behind his back like lightning and took a closer look. Suddenly, a man with an iron pot on his head was standing next to him, grinning with dazzling white teeth.

Hou Xiaoliu didn't say anything and ran away. At that time, he was covered in white hair and sweat.

Because he couldn't figure out when that person came to him.

Fortunately, when he ran away, the man didn't catch up with him.

Hou Xiaoliu ran from East Street to West Street in one breath, swerving and hiding in a ruined temple before stopping.

As a result, before he could catch his breath, the sound came from above his head again.

"We'll share half of it when we meet."

Hou Xiaoliu looked up and saw the man holding the iron pot squatting on the wall, smiling at him.

Hou Xiaoliu said "Mah~", got up and ran.

There was another rush of wolves and dolphins, running from the west to the north again.

The result was just like before, as soon as he stopped, the man appeared.

"We'll share half of it when we meet." The voice was magical.

Hou Xiaoliu was really scared. He had never seen or heard of someone who could chase him with a big iron pot on his head and play the same game. Then he was not an ordinary person.

"Good man, please spare my life. I've been hungry for three days and I really can't hold on any longer. Please give me a way to survive." Hou Xiaoliu broke out in a cold sweat. He tried his best but couldn't escape from the palm of his hand, which made him extremely frightened.

If he is arrested and brought before an official, his skin will peel off even if he doesn't die.

"Having half of it won't cut off your livelihood, right?" The visitor tilted his head.

"ah?"

Hou Xiaoliu was stunned, "Half?"

"May I have your name?"

"Hou...Hou Xiaoliu."

"Bring me the money bag."

"Yes, yes, good man."

Under absolute control, Hou Xiaoliu did not dare to have other thoughts.

Qin He took the money bag, took out the small silver ingot inside and broke it gently. The silver ingot was broken into two halves.

Put half of it in his pocket, put half of it back into his purse and throw it back to Hou Xiaoliu.

Hou Xiaoliu was dumbfounded. This kind of silver ingot was so hard that even his teeth might not be able to bite off a small piece. This man could actually break silver with his bare hands.

Could the silver be fake?

Hou Xiaoliu suddenly thought of it and hurriedly took out the silver and put it in his mouth to bite.

After biting it, I found that the money was fine.

When I looked at the good man again, he was gone again.



"Sir, here's a pound of beef."

Qin He returned to the Niutou stall with the iron pot on his head and put down six coins of broken silver.

"Okay."

The little second hand was very nimble and cut a piece for Qin He. When it was weighed, it weighed exactly one pound.

You can tell he is an expert at first glance.

Qin He took the beef and went to the grain and oil shop. He spent the remaining one or two silver and bought a pound of sesame oil, ten pounds of flour, half a pound of yeast dough, a kitchen knife, a little pepper, ginger, and fuliu vine.

, condiments such as dogwood.

After returning to the crematorium with a full load, the cremators all went to bed. Only Yang Baitou watched in surprise as Qin He returned to the crematorium.

The corpse cremators have all passed today and don’t know if there will be a tomorrow. It’s not surprising to buy food and drink. Buying pots is definitely unprecedented. Yang Baitou has been in the crematorium for thirty years, which is unheard of.

An iron pot is not cheap. If you buy it, you might as well give it to someone else at a cheaper price tomorrow.

Qin He's move was to make it clear that he would "live" in the crematorium.

Only those who live a good life will buy themselves "property".

"Sure enough, strange people must do strange things!"

Yang Baitou gave Qin He an amazing evaluation.

Qin He put down his things and ran to Yang Baitou to borrow a cart and went outside to move stones and mud to build a stove.

If you have the energy to work, you will work quickly. A big stone will be broken into seven or eight pieces immediately with a slap. After trimming the corners, it will be flat and flat like bricks.

After four or five trips back and forth, the materials are finally gathered.

Then it was built.

It doesn’t take much skill to build a single stove, just tinker with it and build it slowly.

Although it is a bit ugly, it does not affect its practicality.

Put the iron pot on top and paste a circle of mud, and the stove is considered successful.

After shoveling some cinders and igniting them with kerosene to slowly roast the water, Qin He went to knead the noodles again.

Tonight, he planned to have a good meal.

Hehao Noodles went to a nearby mass grave and cut two bamboos to make bowls and chopsticks for a steamer.

Once the Shadowless Hand is activated, not only can these things be done, but they can also be done very quickly.

By the time everything was ready, it was getting dark.

The corpses of Bingma Si arrived, sixteen in total.

The trio of villains still showed no progress in their "enlightenment", and they even gave Qin He a bye and didn't even deliver a single body.

Seeing that the delicious food was about to be served, Qin He spared them for the time being and continued his great food business.

After working till the end of the month, a meal of stir-fried beef with chili and white flour steamed buns, which was extremely hearty for Qin He, was finally served.

The white and fluffy steamed buns are still sweet even without sugar.

Not to mention the fried beef with chili pepper, one bite will fill you with happiness.

Just when Qin He was enjoying his meal and his cheeks were stuffed, there was a sudden sound of the door opening.

Qin He raised his head because he didn't hear the footsteps.

Not only were there no footsteps, but the sound of officers patrolling outside disappeared at some point.

The door opened, and a white-faced young man wearing a small bamboo hat walked in. Seeing Qin He's round cheeks, he looked at the food on the table and was slightly stunned.

Qin He was also stunned.

"Who are you?"

"Luo Jiu."

The visitor took off his bamboo hat and hung it on the beam. He came closer and said, "I'd like to ask someone."

"who?"

The visitor took out a portrait from his arms, which showed a young man with a handsome face.
