Chapter 31 The Next Place "Old Cow, what do you think of this pot?" "Moo~" (Not good.) "You've even commented on it. What I mean is, how about you carry this pot on your back? Then we can cook in the wild." "Moo~" (No, I don't want to recite it.) "What a pity! I wanted some beef." "Moo!" (I think this pot still has its charm!) Chen Huaian: “…” The owner of the pot shop was stunned when he saw Chen Huaian talking to the old cow. "A person talking to a cow? Isn't this a lunatic?" The boss said in his heart, looking at Chen Huaian and Lao Niu with strange eyes. "Boss, how much is this?" Chen Huaian asked the boss. The boss was still a little confused at the moment, "Huh?" Even though I was confused, I still had to do business. "Fifteen cents."
"It's a bit expensive." Chen Huaian said softly, but it was still within an acceptable range. So, the first thing Chen Huaian bought when he went to the city was this pot. Chen Huaian counted his remaining money. There wasn't much left, but it was enough for him to buy some things so that he wouldn't have to eat dirt on the rest of the journey. He bought some cinnamon, star anise and other things. He was quite particular about food. Among the things he bought, salt was the most expensive. The salt-making technology here was not advanced. Chen Huaian really wanted to teach them how to make salt, but the salt-making work was controlled by the government. He was afraid that he would be wanted by the government after teaching them how to make salt. The world is too chaotic, and he doesn't think he will be treated well after handing over his salt-making technology. Chen Huaian and Lao Niu walked around the city almost completely and bought almost everything they wanted. "Moo." "Okay, got it, don't worry." Chen Huaian and Lao Niu walked around for a while and came to a beef shop. "Boss, give me ten pounds of beef." Chen Huaian asked for ten kilograms of beef. The boss thought it was a big customer, but when he looked up, he found that he was a blind man. He instantly lost all interest. "You're a blind man, do you have so much money to buy ten kilograms of beef?" The boss spoke with a hint of sarcasm. He didn't think Chen Huai had the money to buy ten kilograms of beef. "How much is ten kilograms of beef?" Chen Huaian knew very well that the best way to deal with this kind of person was to do something he could not expect. "A pound of beef, twenty cents." When Chen Huaian heard the price, he took a deep breath and said, "It's so expensive." Chen Huaian followed the principle of shopping around and chose to go to another beef store... After several inquiries, Chen Huaian finally bought ten kilograms of beef from a store at the price of eighteen cents per kilogram.
After buying beef, Chen Huaian touched his almost empty pockets, shook his head and sighed, "Old Cow, I really have no money left." "Moo~" (Play music to earn money.) "Forget it, maybe next time. Let's hurry on. We can't stay here for long." Chen Huaian didn't want to meet Li Xiaoling and others again for the time being, so he left the county after buying things. He didn't even know the name of this county. Chen Huaian didn't know that after he left, Li Xiaoling had sent people to look for him, but there was not much news. The only news was that he bought ten kilograms of beef. In this chaotic world, beef is expensive, and few people buy ten kilograms of beef at a time. Moreover, most of those who bought so much at one time were from wealthy families. Naturally, the beef shop owner was deeply impressed by the fact that a blind man bought so much. Li Xiaoling searched for a few more days until she found out that Chen Huaian had left that day, and then she stopped looking for him. And Chen Huaian, the person involved, was traveling eastward at this moment. "Old Cow, could you eat less of the ten pounds of beef you bought? It's almost gone today." Chen Huaian said as he fiddled with the fire and looked at the bag of beef that was almost empty. "Moo~" (Didn't you eat?) "Lao Niu, it's not very kind of you to say that. How much do I eat? Not even a pound." "Moo!" (At least three pounds!) "Well, even though I ate three pounds, it's still not as much as you." After hearing what Chen Huaian said, the old cow turned its head away. It didn't want to argue anymore, mainly because what Chen Huaian said was true. There was nothing it could do because the food Chen Huaian cooked was so delicious. "I'm really afraid that one day, your second uncle will be eaten up by you." Chen Huaian said. "Moo!" (Put down the beef in your hand!) Chen Huaian was talking about the old cow, but his hands were honest. He took advantage of the old cow turning its head aside and secretly picked up the beef and started eating. "Ahem." Chen Huaian coughed twice awkwardly and said, "We'll each have half. Don't fight over it." The old cow pointed its hoof at its horns and said, "Moo." (You have to ask it if it wants to.) Chen Huaian silently handed over 70% of the beef, and the old cow ate 70% of the beef... Sometimes Chen Huaian couldn’t understand why a cow would like to push other people’s butts. Whenever Chen Huaian thinks of that man's miserable condition, his anus can't help but tighten. "This cow is really abnormal." Chen Huaian said in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He believed that once he said it, the old cow's horns would hit him without hesitation. "Lao Niu, please take a look at the map to see where we are." In order to avoid getting lost again, Chen Huaian bought a map when he left. In order for Lao Niu to understand it, he also thoughtfully bought a manual which contained explanations on how to read the map. "Moo." (It would take about three more days to reach Heshui County.) "Heshui County? Does that mean we are not far from the sea?" The old cow shook his head, pointed at the map and said, "Moo." (It's still early, it may take at least several years.) Chen Huaian sighed after hearing this, "Well, we can only walk slowly." "Have you finished eating? Then we'll be on our way." "Moo." (Go.) …… "Is the gentleman really not coming back? I still have many questions to ask him." Huang Yuan said to Bai Ling'er. Bai Ling'er shook her head slightly when she heard Huang Yuan's words. She didn't know where Chen Huaian had gone. She only knew that Chen Huaian's house was very noisy that night. She wanted to come out and see, but her parents didn't want to, saying that someone was robbing Chen Huaian. But she yelled loudly, and it was clear that she didn't want Bai Ling'er to go out. Even if Bai Ling'er wanted to go out again, she couldn't do anything.
That night, Huang Yuan and A Tie both heard it, but their parents did not let them out for their safety. They arrived at Chen Huaian's home before dawn the next day and saw the corpse in his yard. They were extremely worried at the time and were very concerned about Chen Huaian's safety. They were looking for Chen Huaian in his yard, but before they found him, the government officials arrived. They blocked Chen Huaian's yard. That day, they saw a stunning empress. Bai Ling'er and A Tie did not expect that the woman they had been with for a few days would be the current empress of the Yuan Dynasty - Qin Yun. (End of this chapter)
