Chapter 532 The Magical Biped

   Zeng Sanshui curiously asked the price of honeycomb coal, but Lu Ye said indifferently, "Two thousand catties is only one tael of silver."

   Zeng Sanshui was shocked, "Why is it so low?"

   This is too low. After all, it is more cost-effective than firewood.

  Lu Ye said with a smile: "Our army is directly supplied by the coal factory, which is naturally cheaper. People outside must be more expensive."

   Zeng Sanshui was startled, "How much is that expensive?"

  Lu Ye thought for a while, "If the merchants wholesale, it will probably only cost one or two to five dollars."

   One or two five dollars and two thousand catties!

   That is also very cheap!

   Xiaoyaoguo's money is too valuable.

  If you can buy such cheap coal, why go into the mountains to collect firewood?

   Everyone was eating hot instant noodles, but Bai Nishui and Jia Yuqin didn't get it.

   They remembered that what the soldiers said in the cafeteria yesterday would never prepare them any more food.

   Bai Yan was furious, and she was not uncommon to eat their broken noodles.

   They turned their heads and entered the carriage to bite the biscuits, listening to the slurping sound of noodle sucking outside, smelling the rushing aroma from outside, and Bai Yishui felt uncomfortable all over.

   This is a piece of shit!

   Zeng Sanshui ate the refreshing instant noodle soup and wondered, "Where does this water come from?"

   Near here, there is clearly not even a pond.

  Unexpectedly, Lu Ye pointed to a faucet next to it, "The water is there."

  Zeng Sanshui stood up miraculously, turned on the faucet, the water was extremely clear and free of impurities, and asked in surprise, "There are also faucets here, how did you bring the water here?"

  Lu Ye smiled and said, "We have our own way of Xiaoyao Kingdom."

   He looked proud, and Zeng Sanshui could not deny his pride.

   I have to say that so far, everything Zeng Sanshui has seen in Xiaoyao Kingdom is too shocking.

  After eating, everyone continued on their way, and not long after, they saw the local people grazing.

   The dense flock of sheep screamed, Zeng Sanshui drooling, "What a fat sheep!"

   After a while, a group of horses galloped past him, Zeng Sanshui said greedily: "What a handsome horse!"

   It is said that the southern Xinjiang is a nation on horseback, and the heroic movements of the herdsmen are really eye-catching.

   Suddenly, I saw a stall in front of me, selling something on the side of the road.

   Zeng Sanshui went right away to see that it was a herdsman selling beef jerky and dairy products.

  In the country of Ling, cattle cannot be killed, and eating beef is a luxury.

  There are so many jerky here, Zeng Sanshui thought of buying some.

  Fortunately, he listened to Xiaobing and specially asked Lu Ye to exchange some paper money, and now he has the money to buy things.

   He tasted the beef jerky, which was very fragrant, chewy, and rich in fiber.

   While enjoying the scenery along the way, while eating snacks, Zeng Sanshui rarely has the joy of traveling.

   In addition to beef jerky, dairy products, and the yogurt he drank in the cafeteria before, the stall owner also sells it here. It only takes a few cents to make a big bucket.

  The price is really cheap and cost-effective.

   Zeng Sanshui bought a lot of things cheerfully, and even gestured with the stall owner, and learned two local dialects.

   Everything that Zeng Sanshui bought was generously distributed to his subordinates, and Qu Yuanxian also got a piece of beef, but Bai Shining's family of three did not get a single piece of wool.

   made it clear and excluded them.

   Bai Shining didn't want his things yet, so he had a plan when he thought that Lu Ye would not prepare food for Bai Nishui.

   went straight to the street vendor, took out a piece of gold with pride, and said, "Wrap the rest for my lord."

   The sudden upstart made the herdsmen very happy. They turned their heads and took out a lot of beef and dairy products from the tent.

  The amount of gold is too large, and you have to find money.

  The herdsmen took out all over their bodies, took out a pile of crumpled banknotes, and brought them to Bai Shining with a smile.

   Bai Shining had no interest in these foods when he saw his rough, dark and calloused hands.

   He didn't accept the banknotes either, he waved his hand and said arrogantly, "I've given it to you, no need to give it!"

  The herdsmen are very simple and determined not to take advantage of him, so he picked two sheep and sent them to Bai Shining.

  Bai Shining was at the herdsman's place, and he found the recipe of the uncle again, and ordered the sheep to be killed and brought. Tonight, I will invite everyone to eat roasted whole sheep.

   secretly poked and remembered that he would never give Zeng Sanshui and the others a bite.

  When the sun was about to set, they finally saw the inn.

  Beside the post station, there is a small and medium-sized herdsmen gathering place, and many herdsmen also built their houses here.

   Zeng Sanshui had just entered the station and settled down. Looking down from the window sill, he saw one or two people riding on a strange iron thing, running past him with a "swoosh".

   Zeng Sanshui ran downstairs in amazement, Qu Yuanxian and the others were just like him, looking at the passing bicycle, full of wonder.

   Zeng Sanshui grabbed Lan Jingbai and asked, "What is that? How did it run so fast?"

  Lan Jingbai said calmly, "Bicycle."

The three words    sent them away. Zeng Sanshui wanted to know, and asked Lu Ye cheekily, "What is a bicycle? How can you run with your feet?"

  Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and said as a matter of course: "A bicycle is naturally a car that can run with your feet."

   said as if not said.

   Zeng Sanshui went straight to the point, "I want to see the bicycle."

   After he finished speaking, the others also cast expectant glances at Lu Ye.

   As soon as Zeng Sanshui finished speaking, a little girl appeared leisurely on a pink bicycle.

  The people from the country of Ling on the side of the road all widened their eyes, with a look on their faces, it was incredible that a child could ride.

   Really, he looks like a country bumpkin who has never been seen in the world.

   The little girl was frightened by them. She was riding a bicycle leisurely, but suddenly it was like stepping on a hot wheel, and she disappeared in a flash.

   Zeng Sanshui's face was full of envy, "So strong!" He looked at Lu Ye with even stronger eyes.

  Luye smiled proudly, "Bicycles are just a means of transportation here with us, you can buy whatever you want."

   Zeng Sanshui widened his eyes, "Can you still buy it?"

  Lu Ye hummed, "There is a bicycle shop in front of you, you can still go and see it now."

   Zeng Sanshui immediately said: "Go! Go!"

  The big guy and Lu Ye went to the central area of ​​​​the herdsmen. In a small place, there are all the shops that should be there.

   As soon as he entered, Zeng Sanshui saw an eye-catching bicycle shop.

   Various colors and types of bicycles are placed in the shop, and even though it is getting dark, there are many locals who are surrounded by selected people.

  Zeng Sanshui squeezed in and saw a child testing the car.

  The child has dozens of horses at home, and the bicycle was bought for the child to play with.

  The child rode his bicycle around in circles and kept ringing the bell, surrounded by envious eyes.

   The child's head is raised high, and the parents also feel that they have face.

  Adults who buy bicycles are mostly local civil servants. A horse needs to be well served, which costs a lot and also delays time.

  There are not so many things to do when buying a bicycle. Once you buy a bicycle, you can ride it anytime, anywhere. Although the speed is not particularly fast, it is enough for them to ride to work and go around for statistics and information about herdsmen.
