Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 29 Bai looks like a human, but only has the IQ of a pig!
Chapter 29 Bai looks like a human, but only has the IQ of a pig!
Lin Tao pinched her eyebrows in anger and embarrassment.
"You have the appearance of a human but only the IQ of a pig!"
She was even curious about what was going on in this kid Li Er’s mind!
Li Si pushed Li Er away with a look of disgust on his face: "You are stupid! Mom is telling me that all I have in my head is dregs of beans! What am I stealing?"
"It's nothing unusual to steal someone's beans and rice when you're hungry. If you dare to steal, don't be afraid of being told!"
Watching the conversation between the two brothers, Lin Tao was both angry and funny.
"Mom, five taels is really a lot!"
Before Li Si finished speaking, Da Xu caught up and said, "Okay! Eight taels is eight taels!"
Li Si stared in disbelief. If this man wasn't sent by God to cooperate with the old lady and slap him in the face! Then he must be a brainless person! Eight taels of silver! In Gongjiazhai, you can buy land and build a small house.
Hospital!
Lin Tao smiled and added in a low voice: "What? I'm stupid and have too much money, isn't it okay?"
Not long after waiting at the roadside, Da Xu took out eight pieces of silver. It was in the shape of a round cake, and was bitten into two symmetrical pieces to form a silver nugget that looked like an I.
It was also the first time for Lin Tao to see it, so she couldn't help but look at it a few more times out of curiosity.
Why is it different from the one on TV? Instead of being shiny and silver, it is pitch black and dirty.
After feeling Da Xu's gaze on the country bumpkin, Lin Tao put eight pieces of silver into her arms and then explained how to make living beads.
However, Lin Tao didn't mention the fact that the baby would be able to survive after being held in the nest for twelve days.
It's not that she doesn't follow martial ethics, it's that she can't bear to see these two bullying the little kid!
He just said: "I don't know how many days it will take to hold it. Anyway, whether or not a living bead will come out depends on luck."
When Da Xu finished listening, he felt completely bad!
"I don't believe it! Tell me, did you come here to defraud me of my money on purpose?"
Seeing Da Xu yelling like crazy, Lin Tao picked out his ears and calmly took out a few eggs from his backpack.
Peeling off the shell, a normal boiled egg and a formed chick are enough to explain everything.
"Only those that have just formed and have no bones or hair are considered phoenix eggs." After saying that, Lin Tao put the eggs back into the basket.
The eldest Xu family member kept scolding: "Oh! You are such a fool. You actually spent eight taels of silver to buy something that means nothing."
"If I don't spend these eight taels, how do you know? It's nothing!"
"It's obvious that we have been deceived! Report to the officer! Report to the officer to arrest her!"
Lin Taole spread her hands cheerfully: "If you think you can apply for an official position, then go ahead! Your family is the one who runs the official position, so you can do whatever you want?"
It is said that all government offices in the world open to the south, so don't come in if you have reason or money.
Lin Tao really wasn't afraid that they would cause trouble in the Yamen.
"Okay! Shut up! If you continue to make trouble with the method we bought for eight taels of silver, everyone in the city should know about it! By then, you really won't be able to make back the money!"
The woman was not stupid and immediately shut up.
"Shopkeeper Xu has a good plan. Once the money and goods are cleared, the old lady will take the first step."
Behind him, Li Si and Li Er looked decadent.
"What? Do you think this business will no longer be exclusive to us and it will be difficult to make money?"
The two nodded.
"Hehehehe." Lin Tao said with a smile: "It's August now, and the pheasants on the mountain can't lay eggs this year. Where is the exclusive deal you want?"
"Even if it doesn't work, I can still get eggs!"
"Eggs are fine, but do we have chickens at home?"
Li Si was speechless for a moment. He understood immediately that getting eight taels of silver was like pie in the sky.
If they don't sell money, they just use that method and get nothing.
Thinking of this, Li Si became energetic.
"Mother, let's use this money to buy chickens! If we raise a dozen or so chickens, won't we be able to do this business?"
"It's worthless! How can living beads costing five pennies each make you a fortune? If you just sell live beads for the rest of your life, you will be nothing more than a hawker in the market!"
Lin Tao looked around and said: "If you want to do business, you must not only have a sharp mind, but also have a long-term vision. You must know how to weigh the pros and cons, and you must keep the bottom line of being a human being."
After returning the pot, Lin Tao looked for someone and walked around the market.
I chose the stall with the cheapest price and spent one tael of silver to buy fifty kilograms of rice.
"Ah!" Li Er kept saying like a repeater.
"Nonsense! I bought it. Do you know it's rice? Can you stop saying these two words?"
"No mom, second brother is too excited." He was also excited, so excited that he could hardly control his saliva.
Rice! After living for twenty years, this is the second time my mother has bought rice!
After the hemp bag was packed, Lin Tao asked the two brothers to take turns carrying it.
Then I went shopping again and asked about the price of fat meat. A small piece, about two pounds, costs thirty cents!
This precious thing is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If you want to eat fat here, you can only buy pork fat.
No matter how much you can't afford it, you can just buy a hanging pig and go home and remove the fat from the intestines to make lard.
Lin Tao's already wrinkled face became even more wrinkled. Colon oil is delicious just thinking about it!
Animal oil was too expensive, so Lin Tao could only rely on vegetable oil.
In the previous life, there were four common types of edible vegetable oils: rapeseed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, and sesame oil.
However, only soybean is a local crop, which was called Shu in ancient times. The other three crops are all imported.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian brought sesame seeds back from the Western Regions.
Peanuts are native to South America and were introduced around the late Ming Dynasty.
Rapeseed is produced later than sesame. "Popular Wen" records: Brassicae is called coriander...
As for other plants that can be used to extract oil, there are other plants that can extract oil. For example, perilla seeds are also called perilla, which are divided into perilla and perilla. Perilla is used in many vegetables and medicinal purposes, and perilla can be used to extract oil.
The oil yield is extremely low.
If that doesn't work, the only option is soybeans!
There are quite a few selling soybeans here.
In the memory of the original owner, although soybeans were also a staple food for the common people, they were not as popular as millet.
When you eat the bean dregs in your mouth, it tastes nothing but full of baldness.
When they came to a stall selling soybeans, Lin Tao was filled with love for the small and dry beans.
After seeing the real thing, I have to believe the 9% oil yield rate stated in historical data!
"Auntie, the best price is five cents a liter, can you buy some?"
Lin Tao couldn't help complaining: "No wonder it's used to grind tofu." She didn't believe that this thing could produce oil.
"Mom, what is tofu?"
This time, Li Si asked her confused. Then she remembered that tofu originated in the Western Han Dynasty. If tofu was sold, sesame oil would be all over the streets!
Lin Tao made a careful calculation. Soybeans cost five cents per liter, five hundred cents per liter, and the oil yield rate was nine percent...
Five hundred cents is only nine pounds of oil, fifty-five cents per pound!!
Forget it! Lin Taozhe returned to the pork stall and bought two pieces of fat meat for sixty cents.
If you only eat it at home, you can buy cheaper lard oil, but the refined oil has a smell.
If you destroy the fish scales you spent money on, you will lose more than you gain.
When I walked to the gate of Fangshi, I bumped into the little boy who had asked Da Xu for money.
He blocked the way and took out fifty coins from his arms and strung them on strings.
"Baby, shopkeeper Xu asked me to bring you your egg money. You don't have to go to him to ask for it." This chapter has been completed!
