Chapter 160 I want to dump Lancheng’s diamonds into Daqi
Night was the most difficult time on the exile road, and the cold air pierced the body like a knife.
The heat provided by the last two warm babies is far from enough for a family.
Mrs. He gave away the ancestral jade pendant that she had hidden, and only replaced it with some damp charcoal.
After finally lighting it with a flint, the smoke was so thick that they couldn't even open their eyes. The charcoal wouldn't last long, so they could just boil some hot water and eat it with dry food.
The last few compressed cakes were smashed open and shared among everyone.
Seeing the desolate appearance of his family, He Haizhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he couldn't think of a way, what would happen next.
At this moment, he saw a light shining in front of him. When he saw the dust-free door in the wind and snow, he felt extremely excited and even walked a little unsteadily.
Shen You had just finished calculating the bills in the store and the expenses for this trip. When she looked up, she saw someone standing in the courtyard, looking embarrassed but wanting to speak.
Mr. He, who was convicted and exiled from Beijing, actually came in again.
With the help of this girl last time, He Haizhou had already brought a lot of things, but He Haizhou really didn't know what to say.
The whole family could only scrape together a safety lock made of silver, which was not worth much.
After the house was searched, they were sewn into the children's clothes overnight. Later, they were dismantled again in order to sew in the life-saving medicine given by this girl.
"Girl, can I ask you for some more baby warmers? This one will be locked safely. Can you accept it?"
Shen You shook his head, "You can keep the things. I told you that someone has paid for them. I will not charge you twice. I have exactly what you want."
Shen You gave him all the warm babies in the store, twenty pieces in total.
"You should have almost finished the dry food you took away last time, so take some with you."
She took out a cardboard box from the warehouse and put everything she might need into it, and also threw in a few vacuum-packed salt-baked chicken legs.
There are just as many things as there are, and the other party can take as much as he needs.
"This bag is similar to compressed dry food. If there is no deflation inside, the chicken legs can last for several months."
He Haizhou was greatly surprised. The compressed biscuits and the beef jerky from last time were very dry. He was not surprised that they could be stored for such a long time.
Can non-smoked meat be used?
What's inside? Or was it made using a special method?
If it can be learned, it will be of great benefit to Daqi's soldiers and ordinary people.
He Haizhou originally wanted to just take some compressed biscuits and dried meat, so that the whole family could survive the last part of the trip. He had to take more without being polite.
But I was really curious and wanted to see how the chicken legs were cooked, so I finally put down my integrity and took it.
"Girl, do you know why the man from the capital came to help the He family?"
Even a true immortal like her was invited.
He Haizhou thought about it all the way, but couldn't figure it out.
"When I do business, I usually don't ask why." Shen You smiled, "Maybe it's because I met your family before, or maybe I think you are a good official."
I advised the old emperor to save money and not to build a golden statue with his own face. It would be a waste of money and people, and he would be in bad luck. It was really miserable.
He Haizhou listened to Shen You's words and thought to himself, how could an expert care about ordinary people's affairs.
Before leaving, he burst into tears of gratitude to Shen You.
When He Haizhou came back with his things, the family members were shocked when they looked at the golden chicken legs and the windy and snowy, deserted road at night.
The dry food and food and clothing provided last time were good enough. I didn't expect that there were even cooked chicken legs in a place like this.
Who sent it? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
"Dad, the chicken legs are so fragrant! So delicious!" The younger son, who had lost a lot of weight during this period, gnawed on the chicken legs excitedly.
He Haizhou used the last weak charcoal fire to look inside the chicken legs. The meat was a little yellow, which must be the reason for the special production method. It was so cold that the fat inside the chicken legs froze quickly as soon as they were taken out. They did not dare to heat them over fire for fear that the aroma would come out, so they just unpacked them and ate them.
It was a bit cold and hard, but it was good enough to eat. Two people shared a chicken leg, and the bones had to be shaved clean and buried in the snow to avoid being discovered.
There was only one chicken leg left, which everyone was reluctant to touch. They sewed it into the child's clothes with needle and thread overnight as before.
If an accident occurs, the child is protected.

When Shen You closed the store door and counted the diamonds and jewelry she had received, she suddenly had an idea.
In modern times, only large diamonds such as pigeon eggs have collection value, and ordinary diamonds cannot be sold at high prices.
There are very few individual tourists in [Lancheng] who can get high-end goods from bank warehouses. They basically look for abandoned houses.
Ordinary diamonds and colored gemstones are not valuable when exchanged through the system, and there is a handling fee for breaking bones.
It's different when you get it from Daqi.
Ancient people had never seen a diamond with such high hardness and such brilliant cut.
And platinum does not oxidize like silver.
The dignitaries in the capital will definitely like it!
Shen You slapped the table and decided to sell it like this.
The system exchanges and recovers two thousand diamonds, and sells them for fifty taels in Daqi. Isn't that excessive? If converted into current world currency, it would be 75,000.
The larger ones range from one hundred taels to five hundred taels.
Not bad! The income doubled instantly.
Shen You immediately took out a suitable diamond ring and bracelet. In ancient times, there were also finger rings, which were similar to rings.
If the design is better, you can sell it directly. If the chain is broken, just take off the diamond.
For this reason, she wore a thick coral velvet housecoat and a hat, sat down and worked for a long time.
The next morning.
Qin Ping came over with Qiu Linlin and an appraiser called by Qiu Linlin.
She suffered a big loss last time and wanted to be cautious this time.
Unexpectedly, the invited appraiser greeted Shen You enthusiastically as soon as he entered the door,
"Boss Shen, it's been a long time no see. Everyone knows about your collection of things from abroad. You have a good eye. It's a pity that my schedule was bumped up and I couldn't make it this time."
This appraiser is Wu Zhiyuan. There are only a few appraisers who can be ranked in Jiangcheng. They can be counted on one hand.
The person they found happened to know Shen You, which was not surprising at all.
"If I had told you that it was from Boss Shen, there wouldn't be much of a problem." Wu Zhiyuan added.
Qiu Linlin didn't think so. She was a little worried because they knew each other.
"You two have known each other for a long time?" Qin Ping greeted with a smile, "No wonder the car was halfway through and before the navigation was found, Mr. Wu showed the way."
Shen You didn't waste everyone's time and took out several jade carvings for them to choose.
Qin Ping took a look at the things. He had also played with jade, and he could tell the quality. "Miss Shen is an expert. Which one do you think is more suitable?"
What he actually asked was which one Mr. Feng preferred.
It was impossible for Shen You to answer this question. She had to say it. If she didn't buy what she wanted by then, she would be the one to take the blame.
The next chapter is being coded. I drank a glass of ice cream and made myself sick QAQ. It may be finished later
