I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Chapter 115: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 115

After watching Xu Ayu and Wei Ada walk into the yard together, the two turned around and went back to the house.

Lu Pingsheng said to Wei Miao with emotion: "Nong's mother loves you very much."

Wei Miao raised his chin with a bit of pride, "Do you even need to say it?"

Entering the living room, the things inside were just like when Charles brought the things in before, everything was in disarray.

"Is one cow enough to eat?" Lu Pingsheng asked Wei Miao.

Wei Miao thought about the clues he found in the basement and said:

"How many cows can you buy?"

Lu Pingsheng stared at her and said:

“Here, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can’t buy, only things you can’t imagine.”

According to Wei Miao's understanding, sulfa was also Lu Pingsheng's investment, and all expenses should be paid by him, with food and drink being the basic requirement.

Thinking about how he kept his mother busy in the name of the orphanage, Wei Miao's eyes rolled violently.

"I think I'd like to eat some pan-fried buns, pot stickers, rice cakes, fried dough sticks and soy milk, eight-treasure duck, and dim sum from Lao Da Fang and Wu Fang Zhai."

"Salt and pepper pork trotter, double-wrapped duck slices, five-flavor chicken legs, shredded pork and soybean soup, braised pig's feet, four-fresh Chinese cabbage, braised yam with candied dates, mushroom and rice cracker soup, stir-fried hairy crab, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, and I also like the baguette..."

Wei Miao named a bunch of food in one breath, which made Lu Pingsheng so angry that he pointed at the messy living room and said:

"Do you think my house can hold what you want?"

Wei Miao said, "There are three or four more rooms downstairs. Just fill them up. How can you be reluctant to part with such little stuff?"

When Lu Pingsheng saw her cunning little appearance, he knew that this kid was trying to take advantage of the rich man.

"I can buy it for you, but can you eat it all? It's a shame to waste it!"

Wei Miao wanted to say that there was nothing she couldn't finish as long as she didn't want to eat it.

Lu Pingsheng thought of the time when she wolfed down a large bucket of braised food while researching penicillin, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Wei Miao thought about the piles of dyes upstairs and said to Lu Pingsheng:

"At least you have prepared everything for me. This time we will work together to make the finished product and then sell it on the black market."

Lu Pingsheng saw the relaxed look on her face. It was obviously a big money-making business, and the little girl seemed to be saying, "Have you eaten today?"

Thinking about Zhang Er's meeting with him again, Lu Pingsheng's eyes sparkled and he said:

"Okay, let's do something big."

The next day, Lu Pingsheng started tinkering with things at home, and Wei Miao got up early and went to Lu Pingsheng's house without eating.

The delicious food at Wei's house was so delicious that the neighbors kept asking if she had started a new business.

Xu Ayu kept her mouth shut, "Mr. Lu saw that I was pregnant and had no income, so he helped me take on a few big food orders so that I could earn some hard-earned money."

Little Jiangsu said enviously: "Mr. Lu is really good to our family."

Granny Cui looked at her bulging belly and said, "You are not young anymore and you are pregnant. You should take care of yourself. Money is something you can never earn enough of."

Xu Ayu touched his belly and said with a smile:

"I know that. Ah Da goes out early every day and delivers the braised meat to a stall at the pier. Then he will come to help me. I just need to talk."

When Xiao Jiangsu heard this, he was thinking about it and asked tentatively, "Sister Ayu, do you know that there are braised meats for sale at the pier?"

Xu Ayu seemed not to notice his expectant look and complained:

"Hey, the dock is full of mixed people, and it's hard to do business. The money from selling braised meat has to be paid by the merchants, and if we meet people eating, we can get some money. It's hard-earned money, so we supply a stall at the dock every day. Although the money is less, it saves a lot of manpower."

When others heard this, they also lamented that the world was becoming increasingly difficult.

Little Jiangsu's little plan was shattered. How could he forget that not everyone can make a living at the dock.

Various things made by Xu Ayu began to be slowly delivered to Lu Pingsheng's home.

Early in the morning, Lu Pingsheng looked at the clean and tidy underground secret room. Sixteen boxes of treasures were placed against the wall, and experimental equipment and dyes were also placed on both sides.

The bright lights make the small space seem more spacious.

"I've connected the lights for you, and the experimental equipment is being slowly moved down. Is there anything else you need me to do, Mr. Wei?"

Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao who was looking around with a teasing look.

"Put all the food in. I told my mom that I won't be going home tonight, so don't bother me for the next twenty hours."

Lu Pingsheng found the little brat, with his hands behind his back and an arrogant look, somewhat cute.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll buy you everything you want."

He raised his hands and said helplessly, God knows he got up early and worked late for these foods, and was afraid of being discovered.

Wei Miao was content and felt that now was the best day of his life.

It would be even better if we could find out the secret of this secret room this time.

Most of the copper plates on the ground that could be lifted up were taken out, and the small part that was integrated with the ground was ignored by the two men.

"Brother Lu, I found something very interesting in the county annals you gave me."

While it was still early and Lu Pingsheng hadn't gone out to do anything, Wei Miao stroked a very complete copper coin in his hand and spoke.

Lu Pingsheng's useless golden finger can be used to let him check the authenticity of the year of the calligraphy and painting bottle.

It's a pity that the calligraphy and painting turned into powder and nothing can be seen.

In his eyes, gold, silver and copper coins were just gold, silver and copper coins, without even any specific information.

He had seen the fonts on the coin. It was neither Kaiyuan Tongbao nor the Five Emperors' Coins of the previous dynasty.

For this purpose, he even asked a friend who studied ancient coins to inquire indirectly, but there was no useful information at all.

I was really surprised to hear the little boy say that he had made a discovery.

"What did you find?" he asked.

Wei Miao thought about his analysis and continued:

"There is a richest man in the Ming Dynasty named Shen, whose hometown is not far away in Zhouzhuang, Lucheng."

"He has a master named Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist priest with some skills. When they first met in a tavern, the Taoist priest told him that he would be rich and powerful, and that he would be as rich as a country. His success and failure would also be due to money."

Lu Pingsheng couldn't help but ask, "Shen Wansan's master is Zhang Sanfeng?"

Wei Miao nodded, "There are serious records in Li Hao's Sanyi Essays, and there are also many records in folk novels."

Lu Pingsheng listened to her clear and logical reasoning and asked, "And then?"

"You hold all the wealth in the world, and you know that it might collapse, what would you do?"

Lu Pingsheng said without thinking, "Seek protection from the powerful and wealthy while preparing a way out."

After saying this, I remembered that the one who was afraid of Mr. Shen was the founding emperor who was decisive and ruthless in killing and hated evil, and the final result was indeed not good.

"This place is built very strangely. Are there lamp stands on the walls in all eight directions?"

Lu Pingsheng looked around the square room and saw bronze lamp stands in the four directions, as well as in strange places in the corners.

"You said this is the richest man's treasure house? And the treasure house is actually a square Bagua formation?"

Wei Miao touched his chin and said, "Didn't the ancients say that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket? I guess this is one of his ways out."

Seeing the little girl pondering, Lu Pingsheng patted her head:

"I will bring you food. Once sulfa is developed and penicillin is mass-produced, I guarantee that you will become the richest man."

Wei Miao looked at the experimental equipment and dyes on display and thought so too.

Instead of worrying about other people's wealth, it is better to create it with your own hands first.
