Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 51

The carriage walked slowly for more than an hour before entering Guide Fucheng. Compared with Shangqiu County, Fucheng was obviously much more prosperous, and there were endless stalls and hawkers along the way.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a three-entry mansion.

"It turned out that the old man came here. No wonder the magpies on the branches were chirping early this morning."

Just as Su Hao and Meng Yan got off the carriage, they heard a refined voice behind them.

"Master Lu just returned from a trip?"

Turning around and seeing Lu Zhen standing behind the carriage, Meng Yan was a little surprised.

Su Hao also looked at Lu Zhen curiously. He was about 40 years old, dressed in a sky blue Confucian robe, with sharp facial features, a long elegant beard and the vicissitudes washed by the years. He is a proper girl killer.

"Yeah, I just went out and looked at Feng Shui for someone."

Lu Zhen smiled and said, "The two of you are welcome!"

Led by Lu Zhen, Meng Yan and the others came to the lobby.

"Patriarch Lu, let me introduce you, this is our new Chief Catcher in Shangqiu County, Catcher Su, a man of the same path!"

Meng Yan introduced with a serious expression.

Headhunting?

Like-minded people?

Hearing Meng Yan's words, Lu Zhen looked at Meng Yan in a daze, and looked at Meng Yan in puzzlement. Is this a mistake? A heretical warlock is going to be a head catcher?
But after all, he is a person who has seen the world, Lu Zhen quickly came back to his senses, and greeted with a smile: "Su catcher!"

"Patriarch Lu, I just arrived in Shangqiu County, and I happen to be lacking in cultivation items. I heard that Patriarch Lu has a lot of friends and countless treasures in the house. My younger brother came here on purpose to buy some cultivation items."

Su Hao stated his purpose directly. He and Lu Zhen have no friendship, so it is more appropriate to directly discuss the business.

"I don't know what treasure Su Butou needs?"

It was said that Lu Zhen was not polite. Apart from Feng Shui, the Lu family bought and sold all kinds of spiritual things.

"The bark of the spirit tree or the bark of the demon tree should be older, preferably two or three hundred years old."

Su Hao said what he wanted. Both the paper skin of the natal paper figurine and the paper figurine that cast paper into military skills need bark as raw material to make. The paper figurine that sprinkled paper into military skills is okay. Or the bark of the demon tree is enough. The paper skin of the natal paper man needs the bark of at least two or 300 years of spiritual tree or demon tree.

"You two come with me."

Lu Zhen said in a deep voice, and after finishing speaking, she got up and led the way.

Arriving at an empty courtyard, Meng Yan and Su Hao were waiting in the courtyard, while Lu Zhen walked into a room covered with patterns and talismans on the wall alone, which was obviously the warehouse where the Lu family kept their treasures.

After a while, Lu Zhen came out holding a large piece of bark, which seemed to weigh hundreds of catties.

"Su Butou, this is the bark of the locust tree demon. The tree is about 300 years old."

Lu Zhen spread out the bark, and a strong demonic and ghostly aura immediately radiated.

"Not bad!"

After studying it carefully, Su Hao nodded his head: "Patriarch Lu, how to price this piece of bark?"

"One thousand three hundred taels of silver."

Lu Zhen said.

"Master Lu, this price is too expensive."

Hearing this, Su Hao shook his head and said, "I want this piece of bark sincerely, 800 taels."

"Captain Su, 800 taels of silver is too little."

Lu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Lv takes a step back, one thousand three hundred taels."

"1000 taels."

Su Hao calmly said: "If Master Lu thinks it's okay, then we'll make a deal. If Master Lu thinks it's not good, then we can cooperate again when we have a chance."

Although two 300 taels of silver is nothing to him now, it does not mean that he is a winner. In the future, he and Lu Zhen estimate that a transaction will be indispensable. This time the price is too high, and it will be difficult to lower the price in future transactions.

Seeing Su Hao's resolute attitude, Lu Zhen frowned. After pondering for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Since Su Butou said so, then this deal will be based on Su Butou."

Although Su Hao's price is not high, he still has something to gain. There's no need to sell it twice. Of course, the main reason is that this kind of bark is not a rare item. This price is already acceptable. If he doesn't sell it, Others will sell too.

"Then I would like to thank Master Lu."

Su Hao cupped his hands, and then took out eight small gold bars weighing ten taels from the package he was carrying. He didn't bring much money with him this time, he only brought twelve small gold bars. Now the gold and gold bars in the market are The exchange rate for silver is about one tael of gold to 13 taels of silver, and the value of eight small gold bars is already more than a thousand taels of silver.

"Su catcher wait a moment."

After Lu Zhen put away the eight small gold bars, she walked out of the yard and asked the housekeeper to find the money.

After buying the bark, Su Hao and Meng Yan got up to say goodbye after a polite exchange with Lu Zhen.

.........

Su family.

In a room in the backyard, a large water tank was placed in the middle. Su Hao slowly sank the tree bark into the water tank until the tree bark was completely submerged in water.

"change!"

Su Hao picked up mysterious and unusual seals one by one with both hands, and one after another the mana melted into the water along with the seals. The next moment, Su Hao let out a low drink, and the water in the whole tank suddenly boiled.

At this time, as if the bark in the water had encountered concentrated acid, it began to melt little by little, and the water in the tank gradually turned white. As time passed, the water in the tank became less and less. Viscous until it becomes a white paste.

"out!"

Su Hao turned the magic seal in his hand, and shot out a series of magic power again. Immediately afterwards, the white paste in the water tank boiled again, and the next moment, little white paper figurines jumped out of the white paste.

It wasn't until there were only [-]% to [-]% of the white paste left, that Su Hao changed the magic seal again and refined all the remaining white paste into paper.

When the last piece of paper was formed, Su Hao slumped on the ground with a pale expression. He quickly took the water bag beside him and took a big gulp of tiger bone wine. He picked up the Yang Yuan Jue to speed up the digestion of the medicine in the tiger bone wine. .

After a long time, Su Hao finally regained his composure. However, his face was still pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He quickly took another sip of tiger bone wine.

At this time, Uncle Fu, who was guarding the side, suddenly said: "Young master, I don't want to care about what you want to do, but the young master should save a son for the Su family."

Su Hao, who was running Yang Yuan Jue to digest the power of tiger bone wine, froze suddenly.

Uncle Fu didn't pay attention to Su Hao, but said to himself: "These days, the young master has shot more times than the master has shot in a year. Although the young master is still young and has tiger bone wine to nourish him, he can't last. Live like this."

"The young master must take advantage of the fact that the body's vitality has not been seriously injured to stay for the Su family. The Su family has been passed down to this day, and the incense cannot be broken on the young master."

Hearing this, Su Hao couldn't help showing a wry smile. In his previous life, he was forced to marry and have a child. He didn't expect that he would go through time-travel and still couldn't escape this one.
