Chapter 2 Goldfinger
When Hao Chunmei heard her son's cry, she immediately stopped cursing and walked out of the house with a smile on her face.
Liu Xin's nephew Liu Guisheng was attending the Chen Family School in the county. He was the kind of person who could only stand and listen at the back and was difficult to be taken care of by his husband. The big families in the county did this to select some clever poor children as domestic servants.
It's impossible not to know a few words in the mansion of a noble family.
"Your son is back! Did your husband praise my son today?" Hao Chunmei carefully helped her son put down the book cage behind his back.
Liu Guisheng completely ignored everyone. He went to the stove and opened the lid. He looked unhappy when he saw the coarse porridge inside.
“My husband will celebrate his birthday in a few days, and my classmates are preparing birthday gifts for him!
Mom, I saw a very nice mahogany inkstone today. I’m sure you’ll like it as a birthday gift for your husband.” Liu Guisheng casually put the lid on the pot and said.
"Mr.'s birthday?...Then my son must be given gifts. If he is favored by him and accepted as his disciple, my son will be successful...How much does this inkstone cost?" Hao Chunmei asked.
"It's just a lot of money, mother, I want to buy it tomorrow!" Liu Guisheng said.
"You have only entered your first year of school, and there will be a lot of money to spend in the future! The money you have always paid is enough for our family to eat for more than a month. My son, be good. I will wait until you are older before giving gifts to your husband. See if the teacher can recommend you.
Study in the academy!" Liu Ji said after hearing this.
One hundred qian means one bunch, and ten skewers means one string. Nowadays, the price of grain is 130 qian per stone. This thousand qian can buy 8 dan of grain. In future generations, one stone of grain will be about 30 kilograms. 240 kilograms of coarse grains can feed a family of eight for one and a half months.
"Today, some children of the Zhang family said in the private school that the owner of the village gave our family 10,000 yuan, but the inkstone only cost 1,000 yuan. My father is really stingy!" Liu Guisheng gave him a dissatisfied look when his father said this.
"My son, don't be angry. When the spring plowing ends in a few days, the family will sell grain..."
Seeing that her son was unhappy, Hao Chunmei hurriedly comforted her. Liu Gu, Liu Xin, and the rest of the family were silent when they heard this. Liu Gu is over 20 this year and has reached the age of marriage early. If he has five thousand dollars, he can
She could arrange a marriage for him, but every time she talked about marrying Liu Gu, Hao Chunmei always lost her temper.
Dinner was quickly prepared, and the family gathered around a broken table in the courtyard and began to eat.
Each person has a bowl of thick porridge, five vegetable steamed buns placed on the table, and a plate of wild vegetables mixed with some salt. This is their dinner.
Hao Chunmei watched everyone sit down, returned to her room, and took out a basket with several thin-noodle buns in it. Liu Xin's little sister stared at it and drooled after seeing it. Liu Wanliu pulled her after seeing it.
There were not many fine noodles at home, and only his nephew Liu Guisheng could eat them. Liu Ji took a vegetable ball and took a bite of wild vegetables and ate it. Hao Chunmei and Liu Gu also took a vegetable ball, and there were only two vegetable balls left in the bowl.
"Xin'er, eat quickly! You have been injured this morning and haven't eaten yet, so you should eat more. There is still more in the pot after the porridge is finished." Liu Xin's mother said and handed a vegetable ball to Liu Xin, leaving the rest
She picked up a vegetable ball and broke it in half and handed it to her eldest daughter.
Liu Wanliu divided the half of the vegetable dumpling into two halves and gave them to her sister. Hao Chunmei felt unhappy when she heard her mother-in-law talking, but she glanced at Liu Xin who was silent and did not speak in the end.
Everyone could feel the changes in Liu Xin today, but no one said anything. Everyone thought it was caused by Liu Xin's head injury today. As long as he is not seriously injured now, it would be fine. Anyway, the banker has already paid for compensation.
.
Liu Xin put the vegetable ball in his mouth and chewed it. It felt like chewing tree bark. The porridge was not peeled, so it felt dry in his mouth. Liu Xin could still swallow it when he was hungry, but this
After a few bites of the vegetable dumpling, I really couldn’t eat it anymore.
"Sister, you can eat this half of the steamed bun! Third brother is full!" Liu Xin said, giving the remaining half of the steamed bun to Liu Wanliu.
Liu Wanliu is already eleven years old and weighs only fifty pounds at most. Most of her half of the vegetable dumpling has been given to her younger sister. She is growing tall and has to dig wild vegetables every day. This little porridge is not enough.
Liu Wanliu glanced at Liu Xin but did not answer. Liu Xin's mother spoke at this time: "Xin'er, you are still injured, you can eat! Girls eat too much and eat too much, and their stomachs bloat at night."
"I'm full! You go ahead and eat!" Liu Xin handed half of the vegetable group to her eldest sister and went back to her thatched house.
Lying on the haystack, Liu Xin covered himself with the torn quilt. Not much of the "wadding" was left in the quilt. He stuffed some hay into it to keep him warm. There was no cotton during the Three Kingdoms period.
The quilts used by the rich are stuffed with silk or duck down. The "catkins" called by the poor are reed catkins, willow catkins and other things. The people save them in spring and sew them into quilts when the winter is cold, and they are also sold in the city.
Everything that happened today was too incredible for Liu Xin. He was reborn in the Three Kingdoms but was born into a tenant family. Not to mention the great cause of hegemony, even survival has now become a problem.
He must get back the 10,000 yuan that his sister-in-law took away. As long as he gives himself a certain amount of capital, with his knowledge and ability, it is not difficult to solve the livelihood problem, but he has to think carefully about how to get the 10,000 yuan back!
Liu Xin imagined his own situation. It was definitely not appropriate to seek refuge with those big guys from the Three Kingdoms now. He was a tenant and told people about the future of the world. It would be strange if others didn't regard him as a lunatic. Let alone become a retainer of a noble family and a servant.
Do not want any.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh. Others who traveled through time were all the sons of princes, bringing space and systems, so why did he have nothing?
"The Lucky Wheel system is at your service, would you like to enable it?"
Suddenly Liu Xin heard a mechanical sound, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Are you the system? What functions do you have?"
"The [Lucky Wheel] system is at your service, would you like to enable it?" the mechanical voice in my mind continued.
"Open!" Liu Xin thought silently in his heart.
"The [Lucky Wheel] system is opening... [Lucky Wheel] is divided into [Benevolence Wheel], [Loyalty Wheel], and [Loyalty Wheel].
Every time the host obtains a point of [Benevolence Value], he can draw a lottery ticket on the [Charity Wheel] once, a point of [Loyalty Value] can draw a lottery ticket on the [Loyalty Wheel] once, and a point of [Loyalty Value] can draw a lottery ticket on the [Loyalty Wheel] once.
[Lucky Wheel] prizes are updated once a year. When the host opens the [Lucky Wheel] system for the first time, he or she can choose a lucky wheel draw once.
Is there a draw now?"
Liu Xin heard the voice in his head, and three big carousels suddenly appeared in his mind, and his consciousness was devoted to the [Big Carousel of Benevolence and Qi].
The [Benevolence Wheel] is divided into ten grids in total. The largest fan-shaped grid has the four characters [Thank you for your patronage] written on it, occupying about a quarter of the big wheel.
The remaining three slightly larger spaces read respectively two [big geese], one [white-striped pig], and twenty [guinea fowl].
Each of these three spaces occupies about one-eighth of the space on the turntable, and there are also three spaces slightly smaller than it, with the words "Two heads of Qinchuan cattle", two saplings of "Dog-head jujube", and "Beet" respectively.
One packet of seeds.
Liu Xin's eyes were fixed on beet seeds. Beets can be eaten as vegetables or preserved, and the yield is large, which is perfect for him now.
Looking at the last three smallest squares, each one only occupied about one-thirtieth of the space. Liu Xin's eyes suddenly widened when he saw these three spaces.
[my73 one hundred kilograms of corn seeds], [twenty Boer goats], [one thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes].
Although Liu Xin has never planted land, he has heard of my73 corn. It does not require picky soil and has strong variety stability. The most important thing is high yield. The average yield can reach more than 1,200 jins, and scientific planting can reach up to 2,000 jins.
There is also [Sweet Potato], which is the real high-yielding grain. It can easily produce 4,000 kilograms per acre, and the better ones are more than 6,000 kilograms. If it can be obtained, all food problems will no longer be a problem, Liu Xin saw
I couldn't help but feel excited, my golden finger was really good.
