Take a Door with You

Just after arriving home at noon, Xiao Cao Liang, who had been sitting in front of the door, greeted him and reported angrily: "Grandma Shitou spoke ill of our family in the front yard today, and I am so mad!"

At a young age, he has a lot of temperament.

The 'Grandma Shitou' he was talking about was the Zhen Lu family of the Central Court, and Zhen Shitou was her precious grandson.

"What did she say?"

Cao Xian stared at his eyes and rushed to his forehead.

"She said that our family is a beggar or a thief. She wants to steal chickens from Xiaoyan's family and begs for food from Da Niang's family."

Cao Liang learns the tongue.

Although they couldn't imitate Zhen Lu's accent, they could still imagine the scene.

On the side, Cao Xin smiled, he could guess without asking.

"This old sister-in-law!"

The first lady was a little embarrassed.

At the beginning today, she also thought that the Cao family's three mothers wanted to take advantage of her and came here to beat the autumn wind. After getting along all morning, I realized that this was not the case. Instead, I even bought vegetables to entertain her.

Zhen Lu's arrangement made her a little embarrassed.

"Leave her alone."

"Let's live our lives."

Cao Xin knew Zhen Lu's character for a long time, so there was no need to be angry because of her.

Living a prosperous life at home is the biggest counterattack against her.

Live better.

She is getting more and more uncomfortable.

In the future, if it is too much, just stab the body to death and throw the body into the original fairyland, and you will not be able to find any detectives or blue sky.

What is there to compete with the dead.

...

Cao Xin lazily discussed this man, and urged his wife to light a fire and cook.

Mrs. Cao and Zhang were suffocating, but the first lady was still there, so she didn't have an attack at that time. She greeted the first lady to enter the house and began to prepare.

Today's meal is very rich!

The staple food is still miscellaneous grains. Cao Xin does have rice on his body, but he didn't take it out this time, it's too public!

Now a catty of rice costs 14 renminbi. Even wealthy families like Yi Qinghe and Da Niang don’t eat white rice and white flour buns every day.

In the situation of the Cao family, even if Cao Xin’s rice does not cost money, if he wants to eat like this, it will undoubtedly be swollen in the eyes of others to pretend to be fat.

There are even suspicions of currying favor with the eldest lady.

not suitable.

So what I ate today was the multigrain cake left by Cao Ren.

Stir-fried a shepherd's purse and a cabbage.

Another dish of braised wax gourd, with enough soy sauce, full of color and fragrance, it is called a fragrance!

Fried shepherd's purse!

Stir-fried cabbage!

Braised winter melon!

Rounding off is considered one meat and two vegetables, which is already a high standard.

Now the price of food is high, and the price of vegetables is not cheap.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and the previous unpleasantness has long since disappeared.

Only Cao Xin was slightly aggrieved——

Some rice cannot be taken out and cooked.

Some pork cannot be taken out to eat.

"What is this called!"

Cao Xin shook his head.

But he knew the seriousness. According to Da Niang’s recollection, a catty of pork in Xijing City was about 278 Wen four or five years ago. And this year, it has risen to 70 Wen a catty.

At this price, two or two would cost 9 Wen and 10 Wen, enough to buy a catty of corn dregs, enough for the four members of the Cao family to feed for two days and still be rich.

If he dared to take out a catty of pork in his hand, it might cause a big earthquake in the courtyard.

"hold on!"

"hold on!"

Cao Xin tried to endure.

...

After dinner, the first lady talked to Mrs. Cao and Zhang, asking about the situation in Ningxi.

In fact, many people in the courtyard were curious about what Ning Xi looked like, but they didn't want to get in touch with the Cao family, so they could only hold back. Now Da Niang and Mrs. Cao Zhang went shopping, had dinner together, and became friends with each other, so she asked curiously.

"Mom, big lady, I'm going out to play."

Cao Xin was not greedy at this time, and ran out after confessing.

On such a hot day, Cao Xin certainly didn't want to wander around. He walked out of the yard, found a corner where no one was around, and entered the 'primordial fairyland'.

...

In the reality outside, it is about eleven or twelve noon.

On the side of the 'Original Immortal Realm', the moon is in the middle of the sky, about eleven or twelve o'clock at night.

"Half a day time difference."

Cao Xin remembered that when he came in in the middle of the night last night, it was noon here, so the time difference between the two sides should be about twelve hours.

On one side it is daytime.

On one side is night.

"It's okay tonight!"

Cao Xin was in high spirits and continued to perfect the plan for last night.

Awakening the "Bronze Immortal Gate" and possessing [Daily Creation], the Cao family now has basic living guarantees and does not have to worry about survival.

So, what to do next?

"Nowadays the world is chaotic. To survive and protect yourself, you can't do without money, but you can't just have money, and even wealth can bring disaster."

The degree in the middle needs to be grasped and measured.

Think about these families in the courtyard. Although each family has its own problems, they have adapted to the rules of Xijing City, have the shrewdness of a small person, and most of them work for the Sun family. They are even employed by the Sun family for one or two generations. With the name of a wealthy businessman and a famous Sun family covering their heads, as long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, it is rare for trouble to come to their door.

Before the Cao family grows into a towering tree, they must be cautious, keep a low profile, and learn from these neighbors.

"Wealth is not revealed."

"The money is enough."

"In recent years, the big brother is the core."

Cao Xin was young, and the Cao family still needed Cao Ren to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Later, the two brothers——

Cao Xin is in charge of making money. With the "primitive fairyland" and "portable space", it is not difficult to make money, but the difficulty is not to show any traces.

Cao Ren is in charge of protecting the family. Since he won't be able to withdraw from the Caishui Gang for a while, he will develop well in it and make many friends. By the way, he has to work hard on his own military strength.

"The Lianjiazi in the Caishui Gang are at least small bosses."

"Brother, if you can learn one and a half moves outside, use your own force to build a base, and have the spare power to donate money and make friends—"

Three to five years later, it may not be impossible to make a name for yourself.

The rivers and lakes are not all about fighting and killing, but more about the ways of the world.

...

Some combing.

Cao Xin made it clear that his first priority is to make money!

And not too little.

Food at home requires money.

The elder brother asked for money including his own martial arts training.

The eldest brother asks for money in foreign affairs and business contacts.

Money is everywhere, and there is a lot of money everywhere.

Don't mention anything else, just talk about martial arts.

Cao Xin obtained a martial skill through [Fortune] last night——"Liangyi Ball Kung Fu", which is a kind of kung fu that specializes in training wrists, finger strength and firing hidden weapons.

Leaving aside the difficulty of practicing the 'Liangyi Ball Skill', only the cost is counted.

A cast iron ball is required to practice this skill——

"A three-pound iron ball has a diameter of 7.2 centimeters."

"One catty weighs 5 centimeters in diameter."

"I can hold an iron ball that weighs half a catty at most, and I can't hold it no matter how big it is."

"My brother can hold a three-pound iron ball."

Buy three for three catties.

Buy three for half a catty.

In the city of Xijing, pig iron is 9% silver per catty, and wrought iron is 2 cents 4% silver per catty.

Three big, three small and six iron balls are made of wrought iron, and the cost price is 350. Including labor, at least 400 renminbi.

This is a one-time investment.

But practicing martial arts requires medicine.

Oral administration and external application can eliminate the injury and fatigue of practice, and the medicinal power can also promote martial arts practice.

Now, most of the common medicinal materials on the market cost a few cents per catty, for example, croton is six cents per catty, and rhubarb is two cents per catty.

A total of 17 common medicinal materials are needed to practice the medicinal soup of "Liangyi Qiugong", and the price is about in this range. If you buy a catty of each, two people can use it for a month.

Cao Xin roughly estimated that the average daily cost of medication is about 300 Wen!

Poor culture and rich martial arts!

It can be seen!

Even without counting the cost of eating, eating vegetables, and eating meat every day, you can't be full when you practice martial arts, right?

With the current prices in Xijing City, with the increase in the daily appetite, all kinds of nutrition must be balanced as much as possible, and the daily amount is not small, dozens of hundreds of cash.

It's not that I don't know, it's a shock.

Just for the expense of martial arts training, the daily cost of supplying Cao Xin and Cao Ren is as high as four hundred.

This is self-study.

If I go outside to find a martial arts gym, I'm afraid I have to look up.

Cao Xin’s salary of 50 Wen per day in [Fortune] is not even a fraction of it!
