Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 72 The very poor Mr. Xiao

While eating, Shen Ru also discovered that this person was silent when he was eating, so he must be silent when he was sleeping!

"The food in this northwest region is really average."

Shen Ru took a few bites and started to give some advice.

"Speaking of which, the sheep in the northwest are the fattest. When we arrive in Liangzhou tomorrow, if Mr. Xiao invites my family to eat roasted whole sheep, I will do something for you."

The chopsticks in Xiao Wujin's hand paused for a moment.

The 100 taels of silver notes he brought today is already all the money he has. His salary for the past few months has been in Liangzhou Mansion, so it is probably not much.

A sheep costs almost two taels of silver, which is not impossible, but in this case...

Shen Ru's words caused many twists and turns in Xiao Wujin's mind.

"If I invite your family to eat roasted whole lamb, then you have to tell me how to extract fine salt."

Shen Ru was stunned, this guy still remembered this incident.

"Is there a salt mine in Liangzhou?"

"There are salt fields in Ganzhou, but they are all coarse salt. Although the salt in Liangzhou is imported from Ganzhou, what I want is fine salt."

"Will we pass by Ganzhou?"

Shen Ru said thoughtfully.

"This method of refining fine salt is actually very simple. Okay, before we go to Liangzhou, you buy a large amount of coarse salt first, and I will let you make a profit!"

"Salt is a valuable item for the imperial court and cannot be bought or sold at will."

Xiao Wujin reminded.

"Anyway, when fine salt comes out, there will be people who want to buy it, so just buy it."

Shen Ru didn't care so much and said directly.

"This salt is the foundation of human beings. If a person does not eat salt, he will have no strength, and it will taste like chewing wax."

"But the coarse salt tastes too bad and has a bitter taste. If Liangzhou can refine the coarse salt into fine salt, it will be a good income."

Shen Ru said that for the method of refining fine salt, she had to thank the world in which she grew up. Although she came from an ancient martial arts family, she still had to receive nine years of compulsory education.

These coarse salt purification notes are still chemistry knowledge from the third grade of junior high school!
Looking back at how much money Liangzhou Mansion still had available, Xiao Wujin felt that he was very short of money!

"Shen Ru, it is said that when An Guohou's house was searched, a lot of property was not found. Did you transfer all the money?"

Xiao Wujin tentatively said.

"Yes, I buried them all under the bluestone at home. You can't guess it. Go dig it!"

What Shen Ru said was half true and half false, which made Xiao Wujin think deeply and look like he actually believed it.

"Hey, you can't do it, right? The capital is far away from the mountains and rivers. Do you really want to dig?"

Shen Ru said in surprise, "Master Xiao, you look so poor."

Xiao Wujin covered up his embarrassment with a dark face.

"The meager salary is naturally not as rich as the Marquis Mansion."

"It's easy to say that you are short of money. From now on, when we go to Liangzhou, everyone will take care of each other. I will help you make money, and you will make my family's life easier."

Shen Rule said happily, isn't this just giving in to others?
Xiao Wujin was silent for a moment, what he wanted was not a little money, what he wanted was the well-being and prosperity of the people of Liangzhou!

After eating, Shen Ru saw a few open shops on the street and bought some needed things.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Shen Ru and Xiao Wujin went back to the inn to wait.

Luneng came back when it was completely dark.

"The shift will be handed over in a short period of time tomorrow, and Baishui City will be opened. Miss Shen, your parents are also fine. I misunderstood you before, I'm sorry."

Hearing Luneng's sincere apology, Shen Ru generously said that he would not care.

"Then... I can sleep here peacefully at night and wait until the city gate opens to leave tomorrow?"

"Not bad!"

Xiao Wujin said solemnly, "I will stay in Baishui City for a few more days. I hope you will have arrived when I return to Liangzhou."

Shen Ru smiled, this was beyond her control, and closed the door neatly. She didn't want to see Xiao Wujin's stinky face!The night was as cool as water, and the mattresses in the inn were much more comfortable than those in the inn.

Shen Ru was drowsily asleep when she vaguely heard a noise coming from the window.

As soon as she turned over, she saw someone entering the room, and he immediately woke up.

"Little beauty, my brother is here to love you!"

A faint light came on, and Shen Ru opened his eyes suddenly and faced the man who was about to take off his clothes.

Then he punched the opponent's door directly with a bang, and with lightning speed, he got up and twisted the man's arm, trampling the man under his feet.

"Who, what do you want?"

"Girl... girl... oh, Heroine, please forgive me, Heroine, I... I am just a flower picker!"

Soon, the man was tied to the chair by Shen Ruwuhuada.

"A flower-picking thief? You came to my house in the middle of the night. What, you want to pick me?"

Shen Ru said viciously, raised his hand and slapped him.

"Say, what the hell are you here for?"

"Xia Xia, I am really a flower thief. I saw you, Xia Xia, as beautiful as a flower at the auction, and I had evil thoughts for a moment!"

The flower picker's cheeks suddenly swelled up, "Hero, the young one is short-sighted and the young one is bold. Seeing that the young one doesn't succeed, please let me go!"

With such a thin and horse-like face, he can also be a flower-picking thief?
Shen Ru looked at the man with disgust, thought for a while, and then started groping around the man.

"Hero...you...what do you want to do? No...help...help..."

The man's shouting stopped, and Shen Ru stuffed his own smelly socks into his mouth.

"Hey, are you quite rich?"

Shen Ru looked at the property found from the man, including ten banknotes worth 1000 taels, and about a dozen taels of broken silver in the wallet. He also had a jade pendant and several pieces of girl's jewelry on his body.

At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open, and Luneng and Xiao Wujin barged in.

"Miss Shen, are you okay?"

Luneng shouted as soon as he entered the door, but when he saw the scene inside the house, his voice stopped suddenly. It seemed...it was different from what they thought.

"We heard some noise and thought..."

Luneng stuttered and said, "I thought you were... robbed..."

Xiao Wujin frowned and looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

The man's clothes were wrinkled, his chest clothes had been taken off, he was tied to a chair, and Shen Ru... was counting money!

"Yes, we were robbed! Flower-picking thieves!"

Shen Ru's hand holding the banknote was a little tangled. If anyone had a share...some of them wouldn't be able to be handed out!

"Three-Legged Cat Kungfu also imitates people and acts as flower pickers. It fell into my hands. I have to charge some mental damages, right? He scared me!"

"How about... give you some?"

Shen Ru was very embarrassed to be looked at by Xiao Wujin!

He counted three silver notes and handed them to Xiao Wujin. Seeing that the other person didn't move, he added two more.

"Half for one person, I am very happy."

"No, I'll put it away if you don't want it!"

Just when Shen Ru thought Xiao Wujin didn't like the money, Xiao Wujin reached out to take it and stuffed it into his clothes calmly.

"Luneng, let's go back!"

"Hey, don't be gentle with others, take this flower picker away too!"

Shen Ru shouted, do they care?
"grown ups?"

Luneng also hesitated, should this flower picker want to see an official?

"Luneng, we didn't see anything."

There was some anger in Xiao Wujin's words, and he walked quickly. Shen Ru was dumbfounded. Is this... taking money and not doing anything?
