Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 174 Isn’t this the blind box from ancient times?

It is not easy to make this crossbow. Although their crossbows are very small, it was not easy to make a crossbow in ancient times.

The young carpenter was so busy with this that he had not taken care of other work for many days and devoted himself entirely to making this crossbow.

A crossbow needs to have a tough and elastic bow arm. It must be made of high-quality wood such as mulberry and mulberry, and must be carefully processed and polished to contain powerful force.

Bowstrings are often made of cow tendons or hemp ropes, which need to be rubbed and woven repeatedly to make them tight and durable, and able to withstand huge tension when pulled.

In addition, a crossbow mechanism is also needed. This delicate mechanism is made of bronze or iron and includes parts such as the watchtower, hanging knife, and hook heart. Its structure is complex and requires extremely high production precision.

If they hadn't found so many knives, they wouldn't have been able to make this.

They now have more than twenty big swords, almost one for each person, and these knives are sometimes quite useful.

Lin Wanwan was drooling as she looked at the purses: "Naitang, you are too good, aren't you?"

Naitang raised his head and looked at her with a chuckle. Lin Wanwan really thought Naitang was amazing. How could those people in the mines have no money?

All the money was taken back by Naitang, and anything of value that was on him was also taken back by him.

The benefits of having many brothers are now evident.

Naitang's group of friends has now reached about 300 people, but they rarely show up. There are special baskets on the flatbed truck for them to sleep in.

These mice eat a lot, which is understandable. They need to eat well every day, but they are willing to work!

When something happens, they are really willing to take action, just like today, they directly looted all the belongings from more than 100 people.

Lin Wanwan watched Zhao Qiaoniang and Mrs. Bai opening their purses non-stop. Isn’t this just the blind box from ancient times?

Lin Wanwan watched them open the blind boxes with great interest. Zhao Qiaoniang started her blind box journey with full expectations. When she opened the first purse, a silvery light jumped into her eyes. It turned out to be a small and exquisite silver ingot.

Her eyes lit up, and she rummaged through the box, pulling out another silver note with "Ten taels" clearly written on it.

Zhao Qiaoniang's cheeks flushed with excitement. She hurriedly placed these treasures carefully in a box beside her, and then couldn't wait to open the second blind box.

Mrs. Bai was also surprised. As soon as she opened the blind box, a small piece of gold rolled into her palm.

Mrs. Bai immediately smiled happily, and Lin Wanwan couldn't help but giggle as she looked at the blind box that had been opened.

The managers of these mines are really rich.

As the process of opening the blind boxes continued, one purse after another was opened, filled with gold, silver and treasures.

There are small silver nuggets and uniquely shaped gold bars, some of which are engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, and some are printed with exquisite floral designs.

When it was the steward's purse's turn, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

I saw that the embroidery on the purse was extremely exquisite, with a pattern of "magpie climbing on plum trees" on it.

When Mrs. Bai gently opened her purse, the first thing that caught her eye was a fifty-liang silver note. The note was smooth and the amount was eye-catching.

Then, a large ingot rolled out. The ingot was very heavy and had a clear official seal on the bottom.

There was also a piece of silver and a dozen copper coins next to it.

The most eye-catching piece is a black jade pendant. The jade is warm and delicate, cool to the touch, and its color is as rich and deep as ink.

Madam Bai looked at the black jade and said, "It's not a very good thing. It can only be sold for thirty or fifty taels in Bianjing!"

Zhao Qiaoniang exclaimed, "How much can this piece of jade be sold for?"

"Yes! It can only be considered a good carving, but generally wealthy people don't engage in this kind of things." Mrs. Bai put the black jade into the cabinet and said worriedly, "Our cabinet is full again. Where should we put it next?"

The young carpenter raised his head and said, "Aunt Bai, once I finish making the crossbow I have, I'll make a few cabinets for Wanwan. Don't worry, there will be enough space for them."

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Okay..."

The carpenter continued:

"I still think our unicycle is too small. When I have time, I will make a bigger one for Wanwan.

When the time comes, we will make all kinds of boxes for her downstairs."

Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up and she said, "That's great! Thank you for your hard work!"

The young carpenter quickly shook his head and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where I am!"

Mrs. Bai and Zhao Qiaoniang love Lin Wanwan the most. The little carpenter also likes Lin Wanwan. He feels that she is like a meat dumpling and is very cute when she smiles.

He also felt that Lin Wanwan was really a lucky star. The fact that their family was living so well now was all thanks to Lin Wanwan, so he was willing to do whatever she asked him to do.

He is a lame man. In the past, the villagers didn't treat him as a human being. After coming here, he has hope in his life, so he cherishes his present life very much.

After saying that, he went to work.

Madam Bai picked up Lin Wanwan, put a cloak on her and said, "Let's go for a walk. It's tiring to lie in bed all day long."

Lin Wanwan's face was full of joy. Mrs. Bai really doted on her. Although Mrs. Bai treated all her children equally on the surface, she was always the one she loved the most in her heart.

When making clothes, shoes and hats, they are all made for her first.

I don't care about other children at all.

It was a very strange feeling. Mrs. Bai really treated her as her own granddaughter.

This is also the happiest time for Lin Wanwan. Even looking at the withered grass and stones on the roadside is very interesting.

The cold winter enveloped the mountains and forests, and everything was bleak.

Madam Bai looked at the scene before her and sighed softly:

"In the past, at this time of year, there were still some green leaves in the mountains, but now, there is only this endless expanse of withered yellow, nothing left.

I don’t know when this drought will end.”

Lin Dasheng also came out holding Lin Zao Zao. Seeing Lin Wan Wan, he frowned and said, "Isn't it just a child? Does she need to wear such nice clothes?"

Lin Wanwan looked at Lin Dasheng. Isn't the treatment of this lucky star very good?

In the cold wind, Lin Zao Zao was wrapped in a worn cotton coat and snuggled in Lin Dasheng's arms.

She was thin, with a pointed face and skin that was slightly sallow due to malnutrition, making her look inconspicuous.

Only a pair of eyes looked out timidly at Lin Wanwan, with a child's curiosity and ignorance.

Lin Dasheng's gaze lingered on Lin Wanwan's face for a moment, and a hint of envy unconsciously flashed in his eyes.

The child turned out to be plump and white. Zhao Qiaoniang is quite good at taking care of children.
