Chapter 40
The autumn wind was bleak, and the air gradually became a bit chillier. The Gu family village gradually became a little lonely, and the villagers wore thicker and thicker clothes. Some poorer families could only go out as little as possible except for necessary work.
One is to prevent the cold, and the other is to reduce consumption to achieve the purpose of saving expenses.
But all of this has little to do with the master.
Located at the top of the food chain in Gujiazhuang, the members of the main family don't say how rich they are, at least they don't have to worry about survival.
The main courtyard.
Cooking tea around the stove, three middle-aged men with different temperaments are sitting in the pavilion.
If anyone sees it, they will exclaim in surprise, the three masters of Gu Family Village are actually gathered together!
One is dressed as a literati, one is bald, and the other is much more down-to-earth, not like a martial arts master, but like an old farmer.
Gu Jingang, a strong bald man, grabbed the teacup in his hand and drank it down. The exquisite teacup looked even more pocket-sized in his wide, callused palm.
Gu Jingang smacked his mouth twice.
"This tea is really bad, very bitter. Changming, you just like to imitate those arty people in the city. With this money, you might as well buy a few pieces of meat to eat."
Gu Changming didn't feel annoyed. He sipped light tea and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying the changes. After a long time, he shook his head and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you in a few days. King Kong, you will say that you are arty. It's not bad. This tea has a taste when you drink it slowly. Naturally, you can't get the true meaning of it if you drink it impatiently like you."
Gu Jingang snorted suddenly.
Gu Dajiang, who was dressed as an old farmer next to him, laughed.
"Of the three of us, Chang Mingyou is the one with the most stable state of mind, but I don't care about that. The reason why I called the two of us here this time is not just to drink tea, right?"
He had a dark complexion and a kind smile.
Gu Jingang's eyes lit up, and he said hastily:
"But the matter of Zhuangxue Pill is settled?"
Gu Changming rubbed his brows helplessly, feeling a headache from Gu Jingang's loud voice.
"That's right, this time I called you here for this purpose. A few days ago, we finally invited Ge Qing Danshi from Canghe County to make a shot. Then we will bring the wolf's blood and other materials over there, and let him refine the Strong Blood Pill."
"It's really difficult to ask this Alchemist Ge to do it, it's been several months." Gu Dajiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Yeah, there is no other way. Warriors cannot practice without the help of pills, so alchemists naturally have a high status. Dr. Ge is highly regarded in the city. He is one of the few alchemists who can refine Zhuangxue pills. It takes a lot of effort to invite him to practice alchemy."
Gu Jingang couldn't help sighing:
"If only we had an alchemist ourselves."
Gu Changming laughed dumbfounded.
"If there is an alchemist sitting in the town, within a few years, the strength of my Gujiazhuang will be more than doubled. This kind of talent is the treasure of all parties. If it is not passed on and cultivated, it is just a delusion."
Gu Jingang did not refute, he turned to say:
"The blood of this monster wolf is very valuable, why don't I go and deliver it in person, so you can rest assured."
Gu Changming shook his head and said:
"No, now the Black Sand Gang is becoming more domineering and staring at us closely. There are some ruthless bandits in the surrounding mountains and forests. Maybe there are rebels fleeing from Yunzhou. If you go to the city alone, you will be suspicious. I plan to let Dajiang go. He has a more stable personality."
"Furthermore, Dajiang will escort the purchasing team from the villa into the city in a few days, secretly carrying alchemy materials, so that it will be inconspicuous and will not arouse suspicion."
Gu Dajiang nodded slowly.
"That's fine, I'll buy supplies on the surface, and I'll go to Alchemist Ge to refine medicine in secret. It will probably only take a few days."
Gu Jingang hesitated and said:
"Is there any risk in this way? If someone attacks you..."
Gu Dajiang's strength is at the bottom of the three, he is a little worried.
Gu Changming said:
"According to the rules, as long as the Zhuangxue Pill is not exposed, the possibility of encountering an attack is very low. When we return, we will meet it halfway, and we will have nothing to worry about when we get the Zhuangxuedan!"
"it is good!"
……
time flies.
The day when Gujiazhuang's procurement team enters the city is getting closer.
Gu Sheng was arranging his harvest since hunting. He didn't know it, but he was startled when he saw it. Just the skins were piled up, and it was a huge bundle.
Not counting the silver fox's skin, just these skins are worth five or six taels of silver.
In addition, there are some velvet antler bones or other relatively rare medicinal materials. When hunting in the mountains, hunters will occasionally pick precious medicinal materials to exchange for money. They are considered part-time herbal collectors. Gu Erniu taught Gu Sheng to identify some herbs.
Gu Sheng's harvest is much more than that of ordinary hunters in a year.
This is also normal.
Gu Sheng's archery skills have reached perfection, and the success rate of hunting is far beyond that of ordinary hunters.
In addition, Gu Sheng is alone, so the expenses are not particularly large, and sometimes he is not in a hurry to sell the leather to the villa cheaply, so the accumulation is quite considerable.
Without having to support his family, Gu Sheng can save money ten times faster than others after meeting his own needs.
"After this trip to the city, the money I have accumulated will definitely exceed 30 taels!"
Gu Sheng's eyes were full of joy.
For the common people at the bottom, this is an unimaginable amount of wealth. Gu Sheng's father worked hard for most of his life, but he only saved half a tael of silver.
However, what Gu Sheng saved in a short period of time was sixty or seventy times that of his father!
of course.
There are many reasons for this exaggerated gap.
Gu Sheng's health was not good when he was young, he often had headaches, and his physique was also weak. He spent a lot of money on this, and Gu Sheng's funeral also cost a little, so he had little savings.
Most of Gu Sheng's achievements come from the silver fox and those hunting bows and short blades, which is something that cannot be expected.
But even so, Gu Sheng's accumulation of wealth is still extremely fast. If other people know about it, the next day the threshold of his family will be trampled by matchmakers from all over the world.
"Go to the city tomorrow, recharge your batteries today!"
Gu Sheng prepared the salute for tomorrow, and fell into a deep sleep.
Day two.
As soon as it was dawn, Gu Sheng took the bundled leather and walked out of the village. The silver fox fur and two hunting bows were tied in the middle, so tightly packed that no one else could see it.
Zhuang Wai.
There are already a dozen people waiting here.
There were basically no tenant farmers, and most of them were people with skills in the village. Some came to the city to sell some goods for money for the winter, some wanted to visit relatives in the city, and some went to the city to gain knowledge.
Gu Sheng saw Gu Erniu.
Gu Erniu's legs have basically recovered, but there will be a dull pain when galloping, and he has to continue to take medicine for a while.
There was also a large bundle of leather tied behind his back, and there were also two bows inside.
Gu Erniu saw the harvest behind Gu Sheng, clicked his tongue twice, and exclaimed in a low voice:
"Ah Sheng, you're amazing. You've gained more in less than half a year than I've gained in a year!"
When he killed Li Yan last time, he had seen Gu Sheng's archery skills, and he knew that Gu Sheng's archery skills had reached a level beyond his reach.
Seeing these skins now, I immediately knew that Gu Sheng's archery skills surpassed his own sooner than he imagined.
Can't help but am even more amazed, Gu Sheng is not a thing in the pool.
This low-key and calm personality is not something that ordinary people can learn.
While the two were talking, a few more hunters came, also going to sell leather in the city.
Seeing the leather behind Gu Sheng, they were all taken aback.
To a certain extent, Orion's gains can be equated with strength, and each of them silently elevated Gu Sheng's status in their hearts, and they unconsciously gained a little more respect during the conversation.
A group of people waited.
soon.
The purchase convoy in the village came slowly, donkey carts and carts came into view, and there were some coachmen and porters. The purchase before winter was not small.
