Although the bamboos used for the bamboo path were extremely hard, they were still no match for the iron-gnawing teeth, and they were broken in a few bites.
And this once again proves that the natural enemy of bamboo is indeed the panda.
Even though Zietie had to steal one bamboo for every four it broke, it still managed to help Lu Jing and the others eat eighty bamboos in one afternoon.
If this continues, within three days, the three of them will be able to collect the amount required by the Huang Prison.
Yang Tao also picked out a piece of bamboo with the right thickness and prepared to use it to make a new gun.
However, after asking Lu Jing how much Chi paid for forging weapons, Yang Tao silently gave up the idea of asking Chi to do it, and planned to go and inquire with the professor who taught the weapon making class.
And seeing that the matter with Bamboo has been resolved, only the last of the three punishments for trespassing in the Dongtian is left, which is the work at the Xuedian.
However, Lu Jing didn't plan to go down so early. He had solved another rare problem. He planned to take half a day off for himself and go back to Kyoto to see Gu Caiwei, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month.
By the way, I also visited Black Cat, who was almost exhausted during this period.
There are basically masters in the academy. With its speed and agility, it is difficult to actually bite anyone even in a sneak attack. Therefore, except for the bite of Yang Tao before, it has not had any luck since then.
Lu Jing went to inquire around, and the three people targeted by the black cat all expressed directly or tactfully that they had no plans to be bitten by the cat recently.
So Lu Jing had no choice but to take the black cat back to Kyoto to enjoy the autumn breeze.
While other students were still studying hard in the lecture hall, Lu Jing, disguised Amu and Black Cat, had already passed through the "well" and arrived at Hengji's coffin shop.
It's almost dusk now, the busiest time of the day.
There were crowds of people in front of the stalls selling vegetables, fruits and meats, with women and servants selecting ingredients. There were also many merchants and officials outside the tavern welcoming friends and seeing off their friends. The aroma of steamed rice, boiled meat and steamed buns wafted in the air. It makes people couldn't help but move their index fingers.
Lu Jing gave himself a Chengsha dumpling to fill his stomach. While eating, he glanced at the black cat above Amu's head. The latter shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't see any "food".
Ever since he experienced a strange first-person perspective cat movie in Ye Gongmei's hut, Lu Jing felt as if he had established some kind of bond with the black cat.
They both liked each other a lot, and coupled with the beast control skills taught to him by Ye Gongmei, Lu Jing could now have some simple communication with Black Cat.
Of course, this probably has something to do with the fact that this black cat has lived for hundreds of years and can already understand most human languages. As long as it is willing, even some very complex commands can be executed very well.
The two of them and the cat just wandered along the river market, heading towards the firewood shop run by Gu Caiwei.
Because of Princess Fu'an's help, Gu Caiwei's firewood business is now getting bigger and bigger. Before Lu Jinglin went to the academy, she had already opened a second branch in the city.
However, she usually checks the accounts at the main office at this time of the day, and then goes to the warehouse to check the charcoal that will be delivered to various places tomorrow, especially the red charcoal for Ouchi use is the top priority.
This kind of charcoal is made from very hard northern wood. The fire and time must be controlled very accurately during firing. The charcoal produced is black and shiny. Not only does it produce less smoke when lit, but it can also be burned for one more time than ordinary charcoal. Double the time, there is still a light woody fragrance.
And because the cooked charcoal is usually put in a basket and brushed with red soil, it is called Hongluo charcoal.
Red Luo Tan is the signature product of Gu Caiwei's charcoal shop, which helped her quickly gain a reputation among the capital, but in addition, her shop also has many other types of charcoal.
This is because Hongluo charcoal is good everywhere, but it is too expensive. Not only is the wood hard to find, but it also takes several pieces of wood to burn it, so the price is naturally ridiculously high.
In addition to supplying the palace and some royal palaces, most officials and merchants were not willing to burn such expensive charcoal.
So in fact, Gu Caiwei's charcoal shop does not sell much red charcoal, but sells more affordable charcoal to meet the needs of different urban classes.
When he came outside the store, Lu Jing remembered the time when Gu Caiwei disguised herself as a man and pretended to be her cousin to tease him, so Lu Jing thought about it and planned to reciprocate the favor.
He took out a human skin mask he got from Luo Lao, went to a secluded corner and put it on his head.
Lu Jing had read the booklet that came with the mask and knew that it was a man named Feng Jiulang, who was a guest.
The so-called ginseng merchants are merchants who pick and traffic ginseng in the Northland.
Northland ginseng is very famous, especially the older the old ginseng is, the more valuable it is. The most expensive one can even be worth ten thousand yuan, so it has spawned a group of ginseng customers.
It's just that most of the old ginseng that can be sold at a high price is located in the deep mountains and old forests. Not only are wild beasts roaming there, but you also have to be wary of sneak attacks by other ginseng customers, because no one in the barren mountains knows the rules, and the most useful ones are in your own hands. knife.
Therefore, most of the visitors are skilled in martial arts, and most of them carry several lives with them.
After reading the booklet, Lu Jing had to admit that Luo Luo was quite good at being a flower picker. You could tell by the disguise he chose, that he had a really good grasp of women's psychology.
Because most of the tourists who leave the Northland have already accumulated enough wealth and have a lot of money in their pockets. In addition, they usually have a dangerous temperament because they lick blood from their swords all year round. Those girls who have been raised in boudoir and It is difficult for ladies to resist this attraction, coupled with this somewhat rough but heroic appearance.
This gave Feng Jiulang a charm that the white-faced scholars in the capital did not have.
Of course, Lu Jing has not gone through corresponding training, so it is difficult for him to fully integrate himself into his current identity, so that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Fortunately, he is just doing it to make a joke with Gu Caiwei. Don't worry too much about those details.
After finishing dressing up, Lu Jing and Amu walked into the charcoal shop with great swagger.
As soon as he showed up, the eyes of the female shopkeeper in the store lit up. Before Lu Jing could say anything, she said, "Whatever the customer wants, I can introduce it to you."
Lu Jing pretended to glance around, but quickly withdrew his gaze, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You can't do it, you can't make the decision. A certain company is negotiating a big deal, and your big boss must be involved." Please come out and talk to me.”
The female shopkeeper was stunned, "Big business, how big a business?"
Lu Jing held out three fingers.
"Thirty thousand guan?" the female shopkeeper tried to ask.
Lu Jing shook his head, "Three hundred thousand dollars." He couldn't afford it anyway, so he just made up a random number.
As expected, the female shopkeeper was frightened by this number, which was beyond her control. However, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"If you come here at this time on weekdays, our big boss will definitely be there, but today, I happened to run into something wrong with her."
"What's the matter?" Lu Jing was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Jiang Huishou of the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce turns 60 today. The entire Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce has gone to celebrate his birthday, including Master Gu."
