In a good mood, Liu An added more firewood to the bottom of the pot, then took a knife and cut the five potatoes into four small pieces and put them in the basin.

A whole potato is too thick and difficult to cook. Even if you cook it for a longer time and finally cook the inside, the outside of the potato will melt a lot.

After the water boiled, Liu An threw the potatoes into the pot and cooked them for about a quarter of an hour. When he felt that the potatoes were almost cooked, Liu An took them out.

The smell of potatoes immediately hit his nostrils, and Liu An felt even hungrier as he listened to this smell.

He eagerly picked up a piece of potato and stuffed it into his mouth.

However, it was so hot that not only my tongue was burned, but my hands were so hot that I could hardly hold the potatoes.

After a lot of struggling, Liu An was finally full after eating about three potatoes for two quarters of an hour.

As for the remaining two potatoes, Liu An covered them in the pot and kept Cui back for her to eat.

The so-called silver bath that is full, warm and thoughtful...

Forget it, I'm not fed and warm yet, and there's no one to vent my anger on.

Next, Liu An is going to study how to complete the system's tasks.

The side mission is to harvest crops, and growing crops requires land, so completing the main mission first is the best solution.

Looking at the novice gift pack, Liu An looked at the words "a war dog, a farming ox, and a sword" on it, and was thinking about whether to extract them.

Liu An took out the novice gift pack mainly because he wanted to see if he could get some money with these things, and then use the money to buy fields.

From his predecessor's memories, Liu An learned that land prices at this time were still very expensive.

The price of an acre of fertile land is 10,000 to 12,000 yuan, and the price of a middle field is also between 1,000 and 4,000 yuan. In most cases, it is impossible to buy a middle field for 1,000 yuan.

Only poor fields can be bought for about 500 yuan.

Originally, Liu An was thinking about whether he could open up wasteland by himself. Even if it was harder, it would still be a solution, right?

However, after deeply recalling the memories of his predecessor, Liu An realized that land reclamation was not that simple.

Unless the court has a policy to encourage land reclamation, even if you have worked hard to open up wasteland, the court may take it back to you at any time.

Even if you come to a powerful and powerful family and watch you turn the wasteland into fertile land in a few years, they will insist that this land is theirs, and farmers without background can only knock out their teeth and swallow it - there are

The pain is indescribable.

And without a government diploma, even if you file a complaint with the county magistrate, no one will make a decision for you.

In order to prevent dumb people from eating Coptis chinensis later, the best way is to first buy the wasteland to be developed. Only with a diploma issued by the government can you truly be regarded as the owner of that land.

But at the end of the day, you still need money.

Looking at the novice gift package, Liu An first excluded the cattle.

The Han Dynasty strictly stipulated that cattle could not be killed. Killing cattle was against the law and would be punished by the government.

If you can't kill the beef for sale, you can only sell it for sale according to the market cattle price.

Although the Han Dynasty valued cattle, the market price of cattle was not high.

Moreover, if Liu An wants to reclaim wasteland in the future, he will definitely need oxen, otherwise the difficulty of reclaiming wasteland will increase many times.

Looking at his thin arms and legs, it was no joke that he had been weak since he was young. Liu An smiled bitterly and shook his head, giving up the idea of ​​selling cattle, and his eyes wandered back and forth between the war dog and the sword.

There was dog fighting in the Han Dynasty. If you could find a rich man, a dog with strong fighting ability would definitely be sold at a good price.

War dogs obviously belong to the category of powerful combatants.

It's a pity that among the people Liu An knows, Liu Bei is the only one who is good at this.

But unfortunately, Liu Bei was not a rich man.

Then only the sword is left.

The literati of the Han Dynasty were not as weak as the later Song Dynasty. Most of the literati were both civil and military.

The six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics, have been compulsory courses for literati since the Zhou Dynasty.

And the sword is the king of all weapons. Whether you are a person who knows martial arts or not, carrying a sword is a very common behavior.

After thinking about this, Liu An no longer hesitated, returned to the room and took out the sword from the novice gift bag.

Then his hand sank, and Liu An found that he had an antique sword in his hand.

The handle of the sword hilt is round, instead of the flat hilt that was common in Liu An's previous games.

The entire sword is black in color, with golden silk edges on both sides of the scabbard, and some words seem to be engraved on the middle part.

Liu An picked it up and looked at it carefully, and there were actually two sentences: The sky is strong, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement; the terrain is weak, and a gentleman carries things with great virtue.

The two sentences are staggered up and down, divided into two columns and engraved on the hilt of the sword in regular script. The writing is clean and the font is correct.

Liu An pulled out the sword a little and immediately felt the sharpness of the sword's edge.

He didn't understand weapons, and he didn't know how this sword compared with the weapons of this era.

But just by feeling, Liu An could feel how extraordinary this sword was, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was indeed produced by the system!

Hanging the sword on his waist, Liu An walked out of the house and followed his memory to the family of the patriarch Liu Ji.

Liu Ji, whose courtesy name is Yuan, is a brother of the Liu An clan. However, Liu An did not come to see Liu Ji on this trip, but to see his son Liu Ming and Liu Deran. (Note)

As the patriarch of the Liu family in Liujiacun, Liu Ji's family was quite prosperous. In his early years, he even sponsored Liu Bei and his son to study with Lu Zhi.

A medium-sized courtyard, surrounded by stone bricks from the outside, so you can't see what's going on inside.

However, his predecessor Liu An had been here before, and Liu An knew that Liu Ji's house was a courtyard with two entrances and exits, and there were four or five slaves in the house.

Stopping in front of the door, Liu An knocked on the door.

After a while, an elderly man wearing linen clothes opened the door.

This is Liu Ji's housekeeper. Liu An knows him, so naturally he also knows Liu An.

Seeing that it was Liu An, the housekeeper smiled and asked, "What's the matter with you, young man?"

"I have something to do with Deran. I wonder if Deran is at home?" Liu An asked with the same smile.

"My young master happens to be at home today. My husband is here at the right time. Please come with me." After the housekeeper finished speaking, he led the way towards the courtyard.

Although Liu Ji is the clan leader, in a small place like Liujia Village, with a small family, there are not so many rules. Liu An will not be prevented from entering the inner courtyard just because he is an outsider.

Following the housekeeper to the inner courtyard, Liu An saw Liu Ming dancing with his sword in the courtyard.

Liu Mingwu's tiger-hugging style was so powerful that it amazed Liu An, a modern man who had never seen the style of ancient martial arts.

Liu Ming, who is 6 years older than Liu An, is 22 years old today. He has a strong and straight body. Even if he is dancing with the sword of the King of Hundred Soldiers, he looks quite powerful.

Liu An thought, Liu Deran's martial arts value should be quite high. Why is he not famous in history?

As soon as he thought of this, Liu An found that a text panel automatically popped up in front of him.

Liu Ming, courtesy name Deran.

Force:36

Intelligence:51

Command:38

Politics:41

Charisma:42

Phase: 32

"Huh?" Liu An almost shouted in surprise, but was immediately overwhelmed by a burst of ecstasy.

If you can see the property panel, doesn't that mean you've become a mobile talent detector?

Such a good thing, the system didn't know to tell it earlier, Liu An complained secretly with resentment.

[I mentioned to the host before that other functions of the system need to be explored by the host.]

Liu An ignored the system's excuse and thought about his attributes, trying to see if he could see his attributes panel.
Chapter completed!
