Bailuyuan, I am Bai Xiaowen

Chapter 175 Strict
Even some goods that are difficult to sell, stolen from the field, sold here by others, will be washed away once they pass through the hands of the store.

"Can you take a look at what you want to sell?"

Bai Xiaowen took out two carved objects from the space.

The two objects look very smart and lifelike.

This person couldn't see what was going on, so he had to call someone.

"Wait a minute, let me find someone to estimate the price."

You have to buy it at the right price. If it’s too low, people won’t sell it.But if it’s too high, there’s no way to sell it.

This quote was a tough sell.

And he didn’t understand much about this carving. He only thought it looked good, but he didn’t understand its specific value.

But the material is pretty good.

The wood carvings and jade are not too bad.

Bai Xiaowen deliberately chose the worse one.

Soon an old man came over.

The clerk introduced me, and the old man also knew how to carve.

Slow work, careful work, this carving is the most time-consuming.

Smaller ones are slightly better.

If it is a very large piece, it may take a year or even several years to carve it.

The old man looked at Bai Xiaowen's two things carefully.

"The shape of the jade plaque, the carving is exquisite, and the layers are rich. The coiled dragon is alive on the white jade. A master-class work."

After looking at another wood carving, I also gave it a very high rating.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaowen felt relieved.This jade and wood carving seems to be much more profitable than the bamboo basket.

Bai Xiaowen went straight to the point, "How much can you offer?"

"Looking at the carving, I guess it was made by the same person. Young man, who is your master? So, the same thing, 15 silver dollars."

The price of 15 silver dollars is quite high.

But it still feels missing.

Master-level works are only worth 15 silver dollars.

He was wondering if the old man's skills were not good enough.

That piece of jade is worth several silver dollars.

Just know you can make money.

The jade and wood carvings were exchanged for thirty silver coins.

Things are more valuable when they are rare, and they are probably worthless when there are too many of them.

"Little brother, if there are any more, we will collect them as well. They are all at this price."

Bai Xiaowen left.

"How much is this jade carving worth?"

"At least 30 yuan, but this jade is too low-quality, otherwise it would still go up."

Bai Xiaowen went to the market again.

"Here, have some, good shank meat. And this, mutton, has a light smell and is the best grass to eat."

Bai Xiaowen took a look and saw that there was only half a fan of meat here, which was not very useful.

Bai Xiaowen: "I want to buy a large portion, a whole pig, but some of them can't be sold."

The butcher knew that this was a big customer.

"Of course, come with me."

After walking a hundred meters, there were several live pigs.

"Master, take a look, they are all big fat pigs weighing over [-] kilograms at least."

Bai Xiaowen: "How to sell it?"

"Ten dollars a pig."

Bai Xiaowen: "Sure, I want all three."

The butcher was so excited that he ordered three live pigs at once.In normal times, you might not be able to sell so much in a month.

Pork is not expensive, and it is bought by ordinary people.

One person can buy at most a pound or two at a time.

The butcher also kept an eye on it. This was a big business. There were so many people here, so what if Bai Xiaowen didn't pay?

He hesitated and said: "Master, these three fat pigs cost 30 yuan, look at this."

The guard jumped out from the side and said: "What do you mean, you think my boss has no money! What kind of status does my boss have, that he will rely on you?"

He was a little angry, he was only thirty, let alone Bai Xiaowen, even he could take it out at this time.

Don't say a few, just dozens.

I can buy dozens of pigs.

Seeing the guard's anger, the butcher was still a little scared.

Butcher: "I don't dare. I said the wrong thing."

Bai Xiaowen also saw the butcher's fear.

I gave him some money from the purse.

"Dot it, count enough. I'll take these three pigs away."

Three pigs were put into the pig cage.

The guard arranged for several people, all of the guard's men, to carry the three pigs in pairs.

Head out of the city.

Go to the training ground.

The guard asked curiously: "Boss, what do you want?"

Bai Xiaowen: "Extra meals for brothers."

Three pigs weigh several hundred kilograms in total.

After removing the blood from the internal organs and other miscellaneous things, the final amount of meat may weigh about four to five hundred kilograms.

Bai Xiaowen has hundreds of people.

It means that one person can share four to five kilograms of meat, which is not bad.

The guard would also calculate this sum: "Thank you boss, the boss is really considerate of the brothers and slaughtered these three pigs. On average, each person can get four or five kilograms of meat."

Bai Xiaowen: "Did I say kill three heads? Just eat this one."

One fan weighs nearly a hundred kilograms. One person can eat one kilogram, which is enough.

I bought three and a half heads of pork in total.

Guard: "One fan?"

He doesn't quite understand what Bai Xiaowen is doing, but he will do it.

When the guards and others carried the pigs into the training ground, everyone's eyes were drawn to them.

These days, there are few people starving to death, but eating meat is not something ordinary people can do.

Most ordinary people, maybe except for the Chinese New Year, don't eat meat at all.

Their wages, from one and a half to two taels of silver, are not necessarily that good.After all, many of them have families.

In the training ground, it is often possible to enjoy meat.

It's good to have some minced meat when you get home.

Now I saw three big fat pigs being carried in, and many village heroes were watching.

There was a lot of discussion.

"It's really worthwhile for us to work for the boss."

Most of them came here not for any lofty ideals, but just to make a living.

Even if there is no ideal, it would be good to have enough food.

The three pigs were howling loudly, attracting many people.

Bai Xiaowen: "Brothers, come here."

There were hundreds of people, and it took a while for them to line up.

The efficiency is still too slow.

Bai Xiaowen: "Those who have experience as butchers, come forward. Those who have been cooks before also come forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people stood up.

Nowadays, killing pigs and cooking are some necessary skills in life.

The regiment lost 2000 men and was constantly being replenished.You need to know if there are any good soldiers among the soldiers.

Bai Xiaowen: "I guess everyone knows that today we are going to kill a pig and eat a lot of meat. But we will only eat one fan, so we can mix it up and cook the meat early. I want to eat more meat, That is conditional. You must have ability, what kind of ability? As long as it is a skill that is different from ordinary people. For example, you can beat your platoon leader, you can read and read, you can play chess, calligraphy and painting, you can talk, you can ride a horse and shoot a gun. , or you can perform a move on my hand, as long as you can do one, you can take the meat back."

The total amount of meat is four to five hundred pounds.

It is estimated that about ten people can meet the standard, so one person who meets the standard can get forty or fifty pounds.

A few people came over and put a knife in, and the pig was killed.

There were so many people, so it didn’t take much time to process a pig, and it was cut and put into the pot in a short time.

Start the assessment and assessment.

Hundreds of people, pick ten out of a hundred.

Thinking of forming another elite team.

Everyone moved.

There are many assessment standards.

As long as you can hold one of them in your own hands and survive a few moves without defeat, that's it.

Those who can hit the bull's eye in fifty steps are qualified.

Those who can lift a boulder weighing [-] kilograms for three seconds are qualified.

Good jumping ability can also qualify.

These are the most common assessment items.

As for the rest, as long as you can tell a reason and have other outstanding qualities, you can qualify.

With so many projects, it shouldn't be difficult to pick someone with outstanding songs.

Everyone wants to eat meat.

Working here, Bai Xiaowen has never been in arrears with military pay, and they can afford meat themselves.

But today's atmosphere is full of excitement. If you can eat meat here, wouldn't it be showing off your face?

Everyone participates in the assessment.

It is expected that within two hours, the cooked meat will be cooked through and will be at its most delicious.

"Captain, you said that if I can survive three moves in your hand without defeat, I can eat meat. I want to try it."

"Okay, let's do it."

Bai Xiaowen stood very calmly, not taking them seriously.

Even if he doesn't use his spatial ability, his martial arts has reached the point of perfection, and these individuals are no match for him.

This man was a little confident in his own kung fu, and he also underestimated Bai Xiaowen. He was a newcomer and had heard of Bai Xiaowen, but had never really seen it.I wanted to try my skills on my own stuff, show off myself, and get some meat, so I could do more than one thing with one stone.

The others watched with interest, but they did not expect anyone to actually challenge Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen rushed over and knocked it to the ground with just one move.

Bai Xiaowen: "You don't do so many projects, but you did it with me and chose the most difficult one."

After a while, two more blind guys came, and they were beaten down by Bai Xiaowen with just one move.

The kind that won't be able to climb up for a while.

As a result, no one dared to challenge Bai Xiaowen anymore.

The condition with Bai Xiaowen is to go through ten moves, but currently it seems to be the most difficult.

"Well done to you. You hit the bull's-eye and passed the test."

Hundreds of people, with a lot of talents.

There are also many people with high martial arts.

He couldn't beat Bai Xiaowen, but only those ranked in the top five would be qualified in the competition.

Those who are usually quiet and quiet suddenly jumped out when it came time to get the meat.

"Boss, if I can hold my breath in the water for a quarter of an hour, can I eat meat?"

"Talent, if what you say is true, I will protect you from eating meat."

All kinds of strange people appeared one after another.

Feng shui practitioners, magicians, and many other very weird professions have emerged.

All registered their respective skills.

Spending a quarter of an hour in the water is a real talent.There are many rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River.It can be useful in the future.

More than an hour passed.

Almost a dozen were selected.

Four or five have other specialties.

The other seven or eight qualified by relying on their physical fitness to win the competition.

Bai Xiaowen: "It's fragrant, the meat has been stewed. None of you, a dozen or so, took forty pounds of meat back. Others are greedy, too. Here, those who have the ability can get whatever they want. If you don't have the ability, just endure it." Of course, there are still many opportunities. Anyone who has followed me knows that I am not short of money. As long as you have the ability, let alone eating meat, making money is a trivial matter. Train well and it will be your turn next time .”

Give them a pep talk.

Then, if you have the ability, you can happily eat the meat, which is very fragrant.

"Guard, write down their names and their abilities, compile them into a book and give them to me."

Bai Xiaowen: "After practicing the military posture for so many days, I have begun to see results. At least, I have a standing posture. But I am not satisfied with the speed of your gathering. I will practice disbanding and gathering in units of ten people. My The requirement is to see the entire team in order within ten breaths."

After hearing Bai Xiaowen's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I no longer have to stand in this most strenuous military posture.

Compared with standing in a military posture, they may be more willing to run with a heavy load.

"Tell me, is it really useful for us to train like this?"

A question was raised. It's just standing. Will it work during marching and fighting?
The Chinese New Year will be coming in a few days, and these pork are considered as the New Year's goods prepared for these subordinates.

As for the rest, just send another red envelope.

There are a total of twelve new members in this batch.

Bai Xiaowen kept all these twelve people.

At night, he took a group of people outside the city.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Just follow me. You will know in half an hour."

Continue walking out of the city, getting further and further away.

Arriving at an unknown area, it looked a bit eerie.

Dense weeds and some sparse trees.

The further I walked, the more panic I felt.

"Boss, look there, it's a will-o'-the-wisp."

A commotion began in the team.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people. If one or two people walked here, they would probably be scared to death.

Bai Xiaowen: "What a fuss."

He knew that it was just ordinary white phosphorus burning, but people at this time might be really scared.

"This is a mass grave."

One of the soldiers knew where this place was. It was a mountain of graves.

It was night again, and the moonlight was weak, which was eerie.

I was still thinking about what my boss meant by bringing them to this place.

"What? Mass grave!"

After a while everyone knew it, and they were very scared. If it was better during the day, why would they be brought here at night?

"Boss, why are you here?"

Everyone looked at Bai Xiaowen in confusion and listened to what he said.

Bai Xiaowen: "Okay, we've arrived at our destination. We just have to come here."

Then Bai Xiaowen led them forward.

Bai Xiaowen: "I will train you individually. Today's training content is to practice courage and stay in the mass grave for one night. There will be many more trainings like this in the future. If you don't want to do it, you can leave. There are twelve of you, and I will take you Train to become the most capable group of people.”

There is nothing to be afraid of. There are so many people who are afraid of some graves. The living are not afraid, and the dead have nothing to be afraid of.

One by one, they began to cheer in their hearts.

Bai Xiaowen: "I remember that two of you can write. Very good. I will give you two sets of pen and ink. Your task is to make a copy of the inscription on this."

As soon as this task came out, the two people who could write regretted why they had to learn to read.This is when it comes in handy.

Bai Xiaowen: "As for those of you who don't know how to read, it's easy. Those who have a monument hold a monument, and those who don't have one, I will choose a place for you."
