Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Chapter 10. Prepare for a rainy day

Early the next day, Brother Fat Tiger had already delivered a load of firewood to Zhang He's door.

Zhang He gave them a penny and two sweet potatoes as promised.

Fat Tiger took the copper coins, bounced and left behind the hemp pole.

One penny can buy a catty of acorns, boil them into a paste after being floated in water, and add two sweet potatoes, which is enough to ensure their daily calorie consumption. If this job is really done, they should not starve to death this winter.

In the following days, Zhang He still went to the town to sell vegetables every other day.

Although Master Mi promised to buy all the sweet potato leaves and boiled sweet potatoes.

But Zhang He knew that this thing was sold for such a high price only for the sake of novelty. If it was sold in large quantities, it would soon become worthless.

When Zhang He went to the market to sell vegetables on this day, he suddenly found that the group of refugees entrenched outside Heishui Town had disappeared.

Even the thatched hut where they temporarily lived was removed.

When he entered the town, Brother Fat Tiger took the initiative to find Zhang He.

"Big brother!"

Fat Tiger happily walked in front of Zhang He, followed by Ma Gan with a bitter face and deep hatred.

"What about the people outside this town, why are they gone?"

"They're all going to be bandits, and they're going to eat hot food and drink hot food."

At Fat Tiger's age, he doesn't have much concept of good and evil, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with being a bandit.

"Then why didn't you go to eat delicious food or drink spicy food?"

"He won't go to Ma Gan, he said that we have a way to survive now, so we don't need to be bandits.

In fact, I don't want to be with them either, they are very fierce and eat children. "

When Fat Tiger said this, he looked around nervously and found no one, so he was relieved.

"Big brother's sweet potatoes are the best!"

After Zhang He separated from Brother Fat Tiger, he went alone to sell the goods in the basket.

During this period of time, he has accumulated five copper coins by selling sweet potatoes and sweet potato leaves.

Thinking of what Fat Tiger said just now, and the robbers he encountered some time ago, a sense of crisis came to his mind.

These refugees were forced into a desperate situation. Under the test of life and death, there is no moral bottom line, and they can do anything.

There is a Wan's Bow and Archery Shop in Heishui Town, which is a shop that specializes in making and selling bows and arrows.

"Brother Zhang, do you want to buy a bow and arrow?"

Zhang He sells sweet potato leaves to their house every time, and the two sides are naturally familiar with each other.

Zhang He pointed to the bows and arrows displayed on the wall and asked, "How are these bows and arrows sold?"

Hearing the words, the clerk quickly introduced to Zhang He that their shop usually caters to hunters among the nearby villagers, and the workmanship is relatively rough.

Anyway, for the villagers, as long as they are cheap and practical.

The cheapest bow sold here is 500 Wen, and the most expensive is 2000 Wen.

Zhang He selected it for a while, and finally selected a wooden bow of relatively good quality, priced at 1,200 Wen.

If he hadn't made money recently, he really couldn't afford it.

After paying the money, the shopkeeper also presented a pot of arrows with the bow, a total of 20 arrows.

The reason why he bought bows and arrows was because he felt that bows and arrows could injure the enemy from a distance, and he shot and killed the enemy on the spot before they approached.

This is the same as the gun in the original world, and it is a long-range weapon.

But once the enemy gets close, his bow and arrow are useless, and he has to get a sword or something.

He carries a hatchet with him now, but it can only chop, not stab, and it is a bit short.

After buying a bow and arrow, he went to Lao Niu's blacksmith shop.

"Are you here again? The old cow is really not interested in vegetables, and a bird fades out of his mouth. It's better to eat some fat."

A few days ago, Zhang He had been selling sweet potato leaves to blacksmith Niu. This guy must be tired of eating them.

"Lao Niu, I'm here for shopping today.

I'm here for business, don't you want to drive me away? "

"Say it earlier, what do you want to buy today?"

Blacksmith Niu forced an awkward smile on his face and asked Zhang He to look inside.

"I want to buy a weapon like a knife or a sword, do you have any here?"

Blacksmith Niu was taken aback when he heard the words, "I only make farm tools here, and there will be these things there."

Zhang He looked around the blacksmith shop. Apart from kitchen knives, hatchets, and scissors, there were really no other knives.

"Can you build one for me?"

Blacksmith Niu glanced at the longbow on Zhang He's back, and seemed to realize something.

"That's not a problem. What do you want?"

"I wanted a knife that could both stab and chop."

Zhang He's heart moved, he immediately picked up a piece of charcoal, and drew a slender Tang knife on the ground.

Blacksmith Niu squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, "The style of this knife is quite new. Try it, you should be able to make it."

"How much?"

"Let's talk about it after I finish typing!"

The two parties can also be regarded as acquaintances, and Blacksmith Niu is not afraid of Zhang He's repudiation.

For the next period of time, apart from selling vegetables once every two days, Zhang He spent the rest of his time at home practicing that unknown skill and practicing bows and arrows.

The customized Tang knife was also successfully made by Blacksmith Niu, which cost him 300 Wen, but it was not as good as he imagined.

Because the quality of the iron is not good enough, the back of the knife is more than one centimeter thick, like a black iron bar, and it weighs seven or eight catties in the hand, which is not very light.

Zhang He would take out the Tang knife and wave it around for a while between practice bow and arrow every day.

He didn't know much about sword skills, so he practiced chopping and stabbing indiscriminately, but he was very vigorous, which made old man Zhang startled, thinking that his son was promising.

The more old man Zhang looked at it, the more he felt that his son would be a general in the future, and at least he could go to Wanjia to apply for a family nursing home or something.

It has to be said that the nameless kung fu practiced by him is indeed miraculous in terms of strengthening the body.

Since he traveled to this world, he has started to practice. It has been more than two months, and his physical fitness has been steadily improving.

Including strength, speed, responsiveness, energy, and even the eyesight, sense of smell and taste have been improved in a balanced manner.

It's just that although this technique is good, it is too expensive.

Since practicing this technique, his appetite has become better and better, and his appetite has also increased. Now he feels that his stomach is like a bottomless pit.

Every time he just throws down the bowl after eating, he soon feels hungry again. Now he eats at least two catties of corn and two catties of soybeans a day.

The effect of soybean supplementing protein is really good, but it also has a big disadvantage, that is, there are too many farts.

Every time an arrow is shot, a loud stinky fart will burst out, and there is always a stench mixed with the vigorous saber technique.

It can also be regarded as a physical attack plus a biological weapon.

Recently, two surrounding villages have been attacked by bandits.

Once these refugees become bandits, all the evil in human nature will be released. Even the farmers who were honest and responsible in the past will gradually distort their human nature when they enter the bandit den, and eventually become murderous demons.

When they are about to starve to death, they will naturally hate everyone who has food.

Therefore, after these bandits entered the village, they did everything except rob food, which was raping and looting.

Zhang He has recently made a lot of money selling sweet potatoes and sweet potato leaves. At least he is the richest man in Zhangjialing. Anyone who is interested will know.

He wanted to keep a low profile, but Blackwater Town was so big, as long as he wanted to make money, he couldn't hide it.

You can't keep a low profile and secretly eat sweet potatoes behind closed doors every day.

The Wan family may be concerned about the immortal master who may exist after Zhang Hehe, and will not bring disaster on himself for a small amount of money.

But these bandits are all on a desperate journey, and those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, so they don't have so many worries.

If they couldn't beat them, they would even dare to grab Wanjiazhuang.
