Chapter 39 Insufficient Energy
"Words have arrived?"

"It's passed on, the young master is really good at predicting things. The little lady Wen refused at first, but as soon as I followed your instructions, she immediately agreed."

There was a confident smile on the corner of Lu Yuancheng's mouth, he had sent someone to watch Miss Wen for a while, he had already figured out her temperament, she was a money string.

For a few tens of pennies, she can disguise herself as a man and go to the Fourth Division and Sixth Bureau to do rough work, not to mention a huge sum of fifty pennies. With her temperament, as long as it is not a fatal matter, she will agree to it no matter what.

"Miss Wen also said that she would make a contract as evidence, and I will ask her to go to the mansion tomorrow to sign in front of you."

Lu Yuancheng nodded, and while reviewing the case files, he said: "It's done well, just tell Lu San that from tomorrow onwards, there's no need to keep an eye on that side, and let him remove the person."

"Yes."

The night slowly opened, and Xizi Street was as lively as ever.

In Xiaocha Lane, Wen Shu was squatting in the kitchen and lighting a fire. The unsold steamed buns and grandma’s tea in the morning were heating up in the pot on the stove. At the same time, she was thinking about where to sell those washing stones and how to price them. .

Before nightfall, she had tried it on the clothes, but it was a pity that the washing stone was not satisfactory for the cleaning of the clothes, and its cleaning power was not even comparable to that of plant ash.

It seems that the only way to clean the body is to use bath beans, Wen Shu sighed, and the place where bath beans consume the most is naturally the bathroom.

Nowadays, there are roughly two types of bath products in bathhouses. One is called bath beans, which are small light yellow balls made of soybean powder and saponins. , The grocery store sells it for five cents a piece, and it usually lasts for half a month.

The other is called 'soap ball', in addition to saponin, lard and many spices and medicinal materials are added in it, and there is a fragrance when used.

Of course, its price is much more expensive than ordinary bath beans, and according to the spices and medicinal materials contained in it, the quality is also divided into three or six grades, and the price ranges from [-] to [-] yuan.

Wen Shu also bought a [-]-cent soap ball before, the size of a child's palm. She only used it when washing her face, but it lasted for three months.

After some comparison, she was still a little uncertain about the price of washing stones.

After dinner, she went back to her room and began to count the stones in the bag. Because there were a lot of water plants and gravel mixed in the bag, she simply dumped all the stones on the ground and counted them while cleaning.

The colors of the stones on the ground are colorful, and the shapes and sizes are also different. Wen Shu thought about it, and finally classified the stones into several piles according to their colors.

Finally, 32 red stones, 35 yellow stones, 28 green stones, 23 blue stones, [-] gray stones, [-] black stones and [-] white stones were separated.

Added together, it is 160 six, which is an auspicious number!
It's just that if the ordinary bath beans were sold for five Wen each, these 160 stones could only be sold for 830 Wen, which is less than the usual money.

If it was sold at the lowest price of [-] cents for soap balls, Wen Shu quickly shook his head.

never mind!Don't even think about it, if you really want to set the price like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell any of them.

Who said that this stone is neither fragrant, nor contains precious medicinal materials, and it has a single purpose!

But if she wants to sell it as an ordinary bath bean, she is not reconciled. The smallest of her stones is twice the size of a bath bean, which is enough to be two bath beans. Intuitively speaking, a stone should be bigger than a bean Bath beans made of powder are durable and wear-resistant, and five cents a piece is definitely a loss.

But if it sells for a high price, it is unknown how many people will buy a stone that has never been heard of before.

After thinking about it for a while, she finally decided not to sell it for the time being, but to try it out for a while, maybe she will find other uses halfway.

Anyway, she is not in a hurry to pay back the money now. Tomorrow, she will make a written statement with the Hou Mansion and pretend to be a grandson for half a month, and she can earn fifty guan. It really shouldn't be too easy.

Take a ten thousand step back and say, she still has the iron box, at worst, if you enter it a few more times, you will always gain something.

Thinking of the iron box, she glanced at the cabinet, hurriedly put the stones on the ground into sacks, hid them behind the curtain, then opened the lock and took out the iron box from the cabinet.

This thing was taken secretly from her father. Her father has not found it yet, but he will find it sooner or later. To be on the safe side, she decided to go to the blacksmith's shop tomorrow and have someone beat it like this. secretly put it back.

In this way, as long as her father didn't look closely, she wouldn't notice it. In this way, she could make money secretly without causing her father to worry about it.

The night was dark, and the lights in Wentai's room had already been turned off on the other side of the main room. After a busy day, he took a relaxing bath, and at this time he had already fallen asleep.

The sound of thunderous snoring came from the opposite side through the main room, Wen Shu smiled, looked at the box in his hand, thinking that it was still early, why not go in again at night.

The system said that every time she enters, she can increase a little energy, and when the energy accumulates to [-] points, she can activate the fixed energy teleportation. By then, not only can she avoid teleportation to dangerous places, but even making money will become much easier .

After all, if you want something, just go and pick it up.

As for the things to bring, she has kept the outfit in the afternoon in the room, and she plans to prepare a set in the room in the future, so as not to have to search the yard every time before going, and it is easy to be spotted by her father wrong.

After making up her mind, she closed the doors and windows, and put all the things she wanted to bring close to her body, then opened the iron box, closed her eyes and prepared to go in.

However, this time when the box was opened, there was no white light coming out, but a cold reminder sound came from my mind.

[Insufficient energy, the transmission channel cannot be opened temporarily]

What?Lack of energy?

Wen Shu opened his eyes, a trace of doubt flashed across his face, and then he realized that it was only three hours before he went in in the afternoon.

It may be that the time interval between two entries is too short, and the system needs time to recover energy!

This kind of situation seems to have happened before. At that time, when the cover was opened, no white light came out. The difference was that there was no prompt sound in her mind at that time, which made her think that she was hallucinating.

Wait, maybe sleep and wake up will do.

Thinking of this, she took off her clothes, took off her outer shirt and lay down under the quilt to sleep, but her mind was still thinking about what Master Lu would tell her when they met tomorrow.
Just thinking about it, he fell into a dark dream after a while.
