Chapter 50 The possible plague of locusts
Shi Lei in his previous life was a person with a wide range of hobbies. After all, his wise man Zhuge Kongming once said: "Learn a little more everything, life is more exciting." Whether it is the fighting, cold and cold weapons, cars, or other sports and fitness professionals that men like, Shi Lei has some knowledge of. He may not be all masters here, at least it is okay to be a qualified keyboard warrior.
But if Shi Lei loves the most profound thing, it must be Shi Lei's reading books. To be precise, he reads online novels. Shi Lei has been persisting in this hobby for more than ten years. From saving money from spending money to renting a bookstore to borrowing books to chasing updates in Internet cafes all night, and until he finally went to work, reading novels is still Shi Lei's biggest pastime and hobby. It can be said that it has become a lifestyle habit of Shi Lei.
Such a old bookworm has undoubtedly read the divine books that were once popular all over the world in those years, and "******************" is destined to be a book that left a deep impression on Shi Lei.
The heroic posture of Fengling Knight in the book has always been lingering in Shi Lei's mind, so one day, Shi Lei's coquettish call his subordinates Fengling Iron Cavalry and other things, and there is no need to be surprised at all.
In addition, what impressed Shi Lei the most was naturally the twin beautiful maids named Yu Linglong in the book. Shi Lei had fantasized countless times that he could have such a pair of caring little maids, but he really didn't expect that he would appear so realistically.
Of course, this is also related to Shi Lei's situation after coming to this world. There are a group of rough men around him, and he can't even see a little maid with tender skin. When he suddenly saw these two little beauties, he naturally felt amazing.
"Dongdong" Shi Lei knocked on the wall beside the bed.
"What's the matter, master?" The responses of the two sisters Yu Linglong came from next door.
The walls were too thin. The preparations for the thatched cottage were too hasty at that time. Not to mention the air leakage everywhere, it could barely shelter from the wind and rain.
Living so close, you can hear each other when you fart on both sides. You can live with your own maid, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to hear it when you shout.
"It's okay, I just say hello to you. Good night, I'm really happy to have your joining." Shi Lei said with emotion, turned his back and fell asleep.
"We are very happy, master." The two sisters Yu Linglong smiled sweetly and said in a low voice.
The next day, Shi Lei got up refreshedly, and once again enjoyed the treatment of a man who could reach out and eat, and fully felt the benefits of having a maid.
"You guys go play. By the way, I want to take Daimao away, it still has work to do." Shi Lei waved his hand to signal the two sisters.
Shi Lei put his reluctant dazed hair on his shoulder, leaving Xiao Jin, who was very grateful, completely ignoring the eye knife that the master had been plucked over.
Wait, the master will occupy your pillows sooner or later, so that you can be proud, hum.
He first threw Daimao to the hunter uncle who was about to start construction. Shi Lei was rude to this little troublemaker and died for a long time before he was driven out by the impatient hunter uncle.
Daimao danced to Shi Lei's back and was muttering something, probably because he was imitating Shi Lei's appearance and scolding him, his incompetent master.
Seeing Shi Lei's glance over, Daimao immediately sat upright, staring at Shi Lei with a eager look, pretending to be reluctant to leave.
When Shi Lei turned around, he sprouted in solid form again. Until the hunter uncle who could not stand it, he carried it to the forest together.
The face-blind master who was contacted by the butler was blinded by the guards and brought to the tomb. He was waiting for the hunter to come over and it was enough to officially dig. The little guy Daimao naturally had to follow him to work.
Shi Lei was strolling around and went to discuss the matter with the butler.
Recently, in order to ensure that all the guards are all in a hurry and do not start with a bruised nose, which is too devastating to his own power, so Shi Lei's group fight training has been suspended. The three uncles are also very busy, and Shi Lei can only take some time every day to train himself to avoid having a hand.
After all, since ancient times, it is important to keep a fist in hand and a mouth. Only by practicing diligently can you become a muscle memory of the body. In that case, you don’t have to go through the brain and react by yourself, and the speed will be much faster.
Under such circumstances, Shi Lei has been leisurely every day.
"Uncle Butler, how are the caravan preparing?" Shi Lei was also used to talking about the serious business every time he saw Uncle Butler.
"The caravan has already counted all the goods needed by them. The shopkeeper Lao Yang was responsible for taking care of these goods. In terms of guarding, he still chose half of the guards. Follow them.
However, this time the old hunter had something to do, so I arranged for the old blacksmith to go with them to see. Although the little thieves on the road were basically cleaned up and those who were not open were buried by us, the force still had to be guaranteed."
The butler always talks about these things seriously, and he is definitely considerate enough. Shi Lei just habitually cared about the progress.
"I specially arranged some guards from the water route to watch those ornamental fish. They have contacted the Cao Gang ships. They have always been concerned with transporting goods. No matter what the goods are, of course they can afford the price."
I don’t know why, when I heard the butler talk about these things, Shi Lei always felt like he had a big shot like the 36th consecutive fortress and the Seventy-Two Docks. Could it be that the butler’s aura was too strong?
"Those merchants who go out to do small business will set out with Lao Yangtou and others to take care of each other. Of course, this time the income will be left in Yizhou. Find more stores and get a pet store you mentioned."
"Oh, Uncle Butler, you have made great arrangements. On this trip, can you ask them to bring more silkworms back? I'm considering whether it's time for us to develop silkworms here." Shi Lei nodded and returned.
"Well, I was negligent about this. Almost everyone in Shu raised silkworms, which is a big investment from ordinary families, so they just need to collect more around them.
In addition, I received a letter that a locust plague began to occur in Guanzhong. Should I ask the caravan to transport more food to come back?
Just relying on the grain produced in small places in Yazhou will be really a disaster and it will definitely not be enough. The price will not be enough. Then the price will not be sold to the sky." The butler said with a serious expression.
"Ah? There is no problem with our Chang'an village, right?" Shi Lei asked anxiously. Shi Lei had never understood the situation there, and it was all the butler who was taking care of it.
"It's okay, there are not many people in total. I also asked someone to send some money there before, so I don't have to worry about not being able to support myself, and I don't expect the output there anyway." The butler waved indifferently.
"Oh, that's good. Of course, you have to stock up on some food. You don't feel panic when you have it. The food here hasn't been released yet.
In addition, I was considering whether I could get the caravan to come back to get some locusts, either dry locusts or simply locust powder. Anyway, as long as it is not alive, don’t bring disasters over. Well, let’s pay for it.”
Shi Lei's eyes lit up and an idea emerged again. Locusts, whether fried or used as animal feed, are a good source of protein and cannot be wasted.
Although the butler didn't understand what this thing was, he didn't say anything more considering the magical things that happened to Shi Lei.
Now that the family is rich, I don’t have much money to spend with Shi Lei for this. If it is really useful, I will make a big profit.
The several ideas that Shi Lei gave were not disappointed, and he made a lot of money for his family. Even a food tinkering with food was about to become a big industry.
