Hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Lidong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It makes sense, then let's go to other places to have a look."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "No, I'm not in a hurry to use the silver now. You can take these fifty taels first."
"We won't sell the rest of the ginseng for now. We will sell it again when all our colleagues know that Huahaotang has a treasure trove."
Although Lidong didn't understand it very well, he did understand one thing, that is, he believed in Chen Xiaobei.
The Hua Haotang incident also inspired Chen Xiaobei that of course not all of the four big snakes could be sold.
After much deliberation, he decided to try his luck with Cao Butler Cao Yuanxiang. The reason why he did not go to Liu Ce was because Chen Xiaobei did not want Liu Rumei to know that he had entered the mountain again.
First I bought three sacks and packed them with three snakes, leaving only one outside.
Cao Yuanxiang was still surprised when he saw such a big snake. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiaobei, you can always get me some weird things. Please give me a price for this big snake."
Chen Xiaobei gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Fifty taels, not even a cent less."
Cao Yuanxiang laughed, "It's easy to talk about."
Seeing Cao Yuanxiang so happy, Chen Xiaobei felt a little regretful. He wished he had called him one hundred taels instead of two hundred taels.
Soon, someone came out with fifty taels of silver and handed it to Chen Xiaobei.
While giving the money, Cao Yuanxiang shook his head with a bit of regret, "Brother Xiaobei, this snake is a male. If you want to get another female snake over, I will give you one hundred taels of silver."
I'll put it in my hands. Chen Xiaobei secretly thought that he was careless and didn't pay attention to this issue.
"Well, I will go up the mountain immediately after I get back. I hope it will be as you wish."
After Chen Xiaobei finished speaking, he turned the donkey cart back and drove it all the way out. He and Lidong looked at each other, and both of them smiled.
After the ridiculousness was over, a question at the beginning of winter put Chen Xiaobei in trouble again.
"Brother Xiaobei, do you want to keep two of these snakes at home?"
Don't tell me, Chen Xiaobei really thinks this way. Of course, if there are too many snakes, they are not valuable. As the saying goes, rare things are worth more.
But this snake is not like other things.
Dogs, pheasants and the like can be kept on a leash.
But what to do with this snake? Snakes cannot be tied.
He remembered that in his previous life, he had found a nest of snake eggs when he was a child.
He put the snake eggs in an unused water tank, and a few small snakes came out. However, his ambitious snake-raising plan eventually came to an end when his father discovered it.
But this incident inspired him that as long as the tank is big enough, the snake can be raised.
Thinking of this, he drove the donkey cart and rushed to the ceramics shop happily.
There is a large ceramic jar in the ceramics shop. This jar is as tall as a person and as thick as three people hugging each other.
This kind of jar is used by wealthy families to store grain.
The store owner’s explanation was that the ceramic jar was made so high that mice couldn’t climb up.
Chen Xiaobei didn't care at all about these explanations. Now he just wants to get one back and raise the three snakes.
Of course, the price for such a large jar is also astonishing, costing five taels of silver.
As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable, so Chen Xiaobei could only pay according to the order, and there was no room for bargaining.
Fortunately, the store provides good after-sales service, providing a large wooden lid and delivering it to your door.
As they left the county seat, Lidong asked in confusion, "Do you really want to raise these snakes?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Raise it for a while first, then sell one female snake to Cao Yuanxiang, and raise the other two snakes."
After returning home, Chen Xiaobei immediately asked Lidong to find someone to dig a hole in the corner of his house. He wanted to dig a big hole and bury at least half of the big tank underground. Otherwise, he would have to climb a ladder to feed the snakes. So inconvenient.
At this time in Xiaojia Town, brothers Yang Zhi and Yang Bo found a tavern and had a nice lunch. Of course they were happy that so many brothers were still alive. After eating and drinking, they walked towards the inn again. go.
Entering the inn, the waiter greeted him with a smile as before, "Two guests, would you like to stay at the hotel?"
Yang Bo nodded, "Yes, give us a quieter room."
"Okay, you two guests, please come with me. I will take you to the backyard."
The boy led Yang Zhi and Yang Bo to the backyard. As soon as they stepped into the backyard, they bumped into someone.
This man made eye contact with Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi looked very surprised and blurted out, "Hu Laoqi, it's you."
"Second, Second Master." Hu Laoqi stammered, and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, Second Master is here, Second Master is here."
After a short silence, more than a dozen room doors were opened almost at the same time, and all the brothers from the Suzaku Gang rushed out. When they saw Yang Zhi and Yang Bo, some were excited and shouted, and some were so excited. Jumping and jumping, but only one person couldn't be happy, and that was Batu.
Hearing the shouting, Batu's heart skipped a beat.
How can it be? How could Yang Zhi be still alive?
Yang Zhi and Laldo were walking in the front, and they must have died completely.
But now is not the time to think about that. He had to pretend to be happy and rush out to greet her.
Batu came out and hugged Yang Zhi and Yang Bo warmly.
"Second Master, it's great that you are still alive, great."
After speaking, he turned to the waiter next to him and said, "Hurry and prepare for the banquet."
Yang Zhi was actually full at this time and had almost drank, but he was so happy that he still had to bite the bullet and continue eating and drinking.
When the banquet was served, Batu held the wine glass and said respectfully to Yang Zhi, "Second Master, I apologize to you for the first glass of wine."
Yang Zhi looked at him doubtfully, "Brother Batu, what do you mean by this? What crime are you guilty of?"
Batu showed more and more humility, "Second Master, in the battle of Qingniu Mountain, Third Master died in the battle. You and the gang leader's whereabouts are unknown. The gang cannot be leaderless. Batu became bold and became the leader of the Suzaku Gang. Now that Second Master is back, Batu, I..."
Regarding what Batu said, Yang Zhi expressed his understanding. Since the group had no leader, it was natural to choose a new gang leader. However, the death of the third Latour in the battle still made him a little sad. After all, at this time, he did not know all of this. It was Latour's plot.
"Special measures in special times. I don't blame you for this. There must be a backbone for so many people!"
"Second Master, there is one more thing. After many days of open and covert investigations, I have roughly got some clues. The reason why we were ambushed was because Liu Rumei betrayed us!"
When this was mentioned, Hu Laoqi and others were filled with indignation and agreed one after another.
"It's that snake-like woman named Liu Rumei."
Yang Zhi nodded, "Yes, I went to see Liu Rumei, but she refused to admit it."
Batu deliberately slammed the table angrily, "It's useless not to admit it. These are all certain things. Tonight we will destroy the Liu family and avenge the dead brothers!"
Yang Zhi quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, we can't act too hastily. We have to consider this matter in the long run."
