Hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Lidong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It makes sense, then let's go to other places to have a look."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "No, I'm not in a hurry to use the money now. You can take these fifty taels first."
"We won't sell the rest of the ginseng for now. We will sell it again when all our colleagues know that Huahaotang has a treasure trove."
Although Lidong didn't understand it very well, he did understand one thing, that is, he believed in Chen Xiaobei.
The Hua Haotang incident also gave Chen Xiaobei the inspiration that of course not all of the four big snakes could be sold.
After much deliberation, he decided to try his luck with Cao Butler Cao Yuanxiang. The reason why he did not go to Liu Ce was because Chen Xiaobei didn't want Liu Rumei to know that he had gone into the mountains again.
First I bought three sacks and packed them with three snakes, leaving only one outside.
Cao Yuanxiang was still surprised when he saw such a big snake. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiaobei, you can always get me some weird things. Please give me a price for this big snake."
Chen Xiaobei gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Fifty taels, not even one less."
Cao Yuanxiang laughed, "It's easy to talk about."
Seeing Cao Yuanxiang so happy, Chen Xiaobei felt a little regretful. He wished he had known that calling him one hundred taels and two hundred taels would have been better.
Soon, someone came out with fifty taels of silver and handed it to Chen Xiaobei.
While giving the money, Cao Yuanxiang shook his head with a bit of regret, "Brother Xiaobei, this snake is a male. If you want to get another female snake over, I will give you one hundred taels of silver."
I'm going to put a stop to it. Chen Xiaobei secretly thought that he was careless and didn't pay attention to this issue.
"Well, I will go up the mountain immediately after I get back. I hope it will be as you wish."
After Chen Xiaobei finished speaking, he turned the donkey cart and prepared to go back. He drove all the way out. He and Lidong looked at each other, and both of them smiled.
After the ridiculousness was over, a question at the beginning of winter put Chen Xiaobei in trouble again.
"Brother Xiaobei, don't you want to keep two of these snakes at home?"
Don't tell me, Chen Xiaobei really thinks this way. Of course, if there are too many snakes, they are not valuable. As the saying goes, rare things are worth more.
But this snake is not like other things.
Dogs, pheasants, etc. can be kept on a leash.
But what to do with this snake? The snake cannot be tied.
He remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, he found a nest of snake eggs.
He put the snake eggs in an unused water tank, and a small snake came out. However, his snake-raising plan ended when his father discovered it.
But this incident inspired him that as long as the tank is big enough, the snake can be raised.
Thinking of this, he drove the donkey cart and rushed to the ceramics shop excitedly.
There is a large ceramic jar in the ceramics shop, which is as tall as a person and as thick as three people hugging each other.
This kind of jar is used to store grain.
The store owner’s explanation was that the ceramic jar was made so high that mice couldn’t climb up.
Chen Xiaobei didn't care about these explanations. He just wanted to get one back and raise the three snakes.
Of course, the price for such a large vat is also astonishing, costing five taels of silver.
As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable, so Chen Xiaobei could only pay according to the order, and there was no room for bargaining.
Fortunately, the after-sales service provided by the store is pretty good, and they are responsible for door-to-door delivery.
As they left the county seat, Lidong asked in confusion, "Do you really want to raise these snakes?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Raise it for a while first, then sell one of the female snakes to Cao Yuanxiang, and raise the other two snakes."
After returning home, Chen Xiaobei immediately asked Lidong to find someone to start digging a hole in the corner of his house. He wanted to dig a big hole and bury at least half of the big tank underground. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to feed the snakes by climbing a ladder.
It's no longer convenient.
At this time in Xiaojia Town, brothers Yang Zhi and Yang Bo found a tavern and had a nice lunch. Of course they were happy that so many brothers were still alive. After eating and drinking, they walked towards the inn again.
go.
Entering the inn, the waiter greeted him with the same smile, "Two guests, would you like to stay at the hotel?"
Yang Bo nodded, "Yes, give us a quieter room."
"Okay, you two gentlemen, please come with me. I will take you to the backyard."
The boy led Yang Zhi and Yang Bo to the backyard. As soon as they stepped into the backyard, they bumped into someone.
This man made eye contact with Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi looked very surprised and blurted out, "Hu Laoqi is you."
"Second, Second Master." Hu Laoqi stammered, and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, Second Master is here, Second Master is here."
After a short silence, more than a dozen room doors were opened almost at the same time. All the brothers from the Suzaku Gang rushed out. When they saw Yang Zhi and Yang Bo, some were excited and shouted, and some were so excited.
Jumping and jumping, but only one person couldn't be happy, and that was Tuba.
Hearing the shouting, Batu's heart skipped a beat.
How is it possible? How is it possible that Yang Zhi is still alive?
Yang Zhi and Laldo were walking in the front, and they must have died completely.
But now is not the time to think about this. He has to pretend to be happy and rush out to greet her.
Batu came out and hugged Yang Zhi and Yang Bo warmly.
"Second Master, it's great that you are still alive, great."
After speaking, he turned to the waiter at the shop next to him and said, "Hurry and prepare for the banquet."
Yang Zhi was actually full at this time and had almost drank, but he was so happy that he still had to bite the bullet and continue eating and drinking.
When the banquet was served, Batu held the wine glass and said respectfully to Yang Zhi, "Second Master, with the first glass of wine, Batu apologizes to you."
Yang Zhi looked at him doubtfully, "Brother Batu, what do you mean by this? What crime are you guilty of?"
Batu looked very respectful, "Second Master, in the battle of Qingniu Mountain, Third Master died in the battle. You and the gang leader's whereabouts are unknown. The group of dragons cannot be leaderless. Batu had the courage to become the leader of the Suzaku Gang. Now the Second Master is back.
Batu…”
Regarding what Batu said, Yang Zhi expressed his understanding. Since the group had no leader, it was natural to choose a new gang leader. However, the death of the third Latour in the battle still made him feel a little guilty. After all, at this time, he did not know what all this was about.
It was a conspiracy set by Latour.
"Special measures in special times, I don't blame you for this, so many people must have a backbone!"
"Second Master, there is something else. After many days of open and covert investigations, I have roughly learned something about the ambush in Qingniu Mountain. It was Liu Rumei who betrayed us!"
When this was mentioned, Hu Laoqi and others were filled with indignation and agreed one after another.
"That's the snake-like woman Liu Rumei."
Yang Zhi nodded, "Yes, I went to see Liu Rumei, but she refused to admit it."
Batu deliberately slammed the table angrily, "It's useless not to admit it. These are all certain things. Tonight we will destroy the Liu family and avenge the dead brothers!"
Yang Zhi quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, we can't act too hastily. We have to discuss this matter in the long term."
