Chapter 55: Linzhi Gold.
Remembering that when Fu Chenan came in, he saw that the front door was just a wall, Xiao Yingchun vaguely understood: Is this to prevent people from the two time and space from intersecting with each other?
So only the owner of the time and space supermarket can see people on both sides at the same time?
This function is too practical. In the
future, he doesn't have to keep the front door closed all day for fear that people will see Fu Chenan. Xiao Yingchun controlled his inner ecstasy, thanked the rider, and then turned and entered the supermarket from the warehouse.
Fu Chenan put the two boxes he was holding on the table: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yingchun put the pizza box on the table: "Have you had dinner?"
Fu Chenan nodded, but his eyes fell honestly on the pizza box.
"Here, try this..."
A moment later, Fu Chen'an, munching on a pizza with cheese and sausage, mumbled, "Our roujiamo seems to be better..."
Seeing Xiao Yingchun's surprise, he quickly tried to explain, "But this layer on top... cheese? It tastes quite special..."
Xiao Yingchun grinned. "You're right. The first time I ate this, I also thought it wasn't as good as roujiamo."
Fu Chen'an carefully examined Xiao Yingchun's expression, making sure she wasn't upset. Then he felt relieved. "Next time I'll bring you roujiamo?"
Xiao Yingchun: "Huh?"
Fu Chen'an patted his chest. "I'm almost well. I can go out for a walk."
"Okay..."
Xiao Yingchun was already full after three slices of the two large pizzas, but Fu Chen'an, who had already eaten a whole meal, finished the remaining one and a half pizzas. He
was indeed a big-bellied Fu.
The two people who had eaten their fill drank water and Coke.
Xiao Yingchun told him about the pearls of this era, then opened her phone to show him pictures and videos.
"You're in Beijing, are these things easy to sell? If I give them to you, can you sell them?"
Fu Chen'an nodded decisively. "Pearls are never cheap. Even pearl powder sells very well. If you can bring them to me, I can help you sell them."
Xiao Yingchun smiled. "Let's get rich together! Let's get rich together!"
Fu Chen'an was amused by her money-grubbing attitude, and then, as if remembering something, he pushed two boxes to Xiao Yingchun.
"Here, for you."
Xiao Yingchun opened the upper box and found a pair of jade ruyi.
When she opened the lower box, she was shocked!
Inside were fifty exquisite sheep's hoof-shaped gold ingots.
Both in shape and exquisiteness, these ingots were much more exquisite than the gold ingots she had seen before.
"Why are these different from the gold ingots of the past?" Xiao Yingchun picked up one and examined it carefully in surprise.
Fu Chenan looked at the exquisite gold ingot and sneered softly, "This is Linzhi gold, a gift from His Majesty the Emperor. It's incredibly precious, but I can't spend it at all..."
"Huh?" Xiao Yingchun expressed confusion.
Gold can't be spent?
What does that mean?
Is it fake?
Fu Chenan explained.
It turns out that emperors throughout history created Linzhi gold and often used it for royal sacrifices, and occasionally used it to reward their subjects.
The subjects who received the Linzhi gold were both happy and worried.
The wealthy were delighted by the emperor's precious gift, but the poor were upset: they dared not use the Linzhi gold at all!
If Linzhi gold were discovered circulating in the market, the emperor would know that his subjects had spent the imperial gift!
This would be disrespectful to the emperor.
In other words: if the emperor truly wanted to reward his subjects with gold, he would have given them ordinary gold cakes and ingots.
If he had given them Linzhi gold, it would have been a waste of money!
What's the difference between holding unusable gold and a hot potato?!
Xiao Yingchun listened for a while before finally understanding: "In other words, the emperor rewarded you with 100 taels of gold, the most precious Linzhi gold, but to you, it's like having no reward at all?"

Fu Chenan nodded.
Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan deeply, not knowing whether to comfort him or congratulate him.
When Xiao Yingchun thought about the fact that he actually gave this thing to her, she became a little worried.
"You gave this thing to me. If the emperor wants you to show this thing to him one day, what will you show him?"
Fu Chenan chuckled and said, "I have a good idea!"
What good idea?
Fu Chenan looked at Xiao Yingchun steadily and said, "Don't sell the pair of jade ruyi for now. You can sell the gold ingots as you like. I'll go back first..."
"Ah? Then you better be careful..." Xiao Yingchun was about to say goodbye, but his eyes suddenly swept across the things in the counter, and he hurriedly stopped him again, "Take a look at these and see if they are useful?"
Fu Chenan watched Xiao Yingchun take out the treasures one by one to show him, and introduced them as he looked at them.
"This vest is stabbable and slash-proof. Try it on and see if it works."
"And this one, this one, this one... They have different styles and materials. Take the ones you like. If you don't like them, I'll return them."
Fu Chen'an looked at the items and tried them on one by one. They were all in his size.
His eyes suddenly became moist: Miss Xiao had really put a lot of thought into buying such a perfect fit for him without even measuring!
"Did you buy all these for me?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded. "These are all gifts from me. If you can use them, just take them."
"You're my guest. If you die, I'll be at great loss."
Fu Chen'an finally picked out a bulletproof vest.
The vest wasn't thick, and it wasn't very noticeable under his coat.
But it covered his key chest and back.
This could really save his life!
And the stab-proof gloves looked like they were made of thin wires connected together.
But because the gap was small enough and the wire was strong enough, ordinary daggers and swords couldn't penetrate it.
This gave him the opportunity to fight bare-handed.
With a deliberate and unintentional move, there was a good chance of turning defeat into victory!
Fu Chenan nodded: "This thing is good! But I'll leave it with you first. I'll come back for it after I'm done with these two days."
"Take a look at this vest and these gloves. Can you buy me fifty sets?"
He wanted to equip his fifty guards with these.
In fact, if it were convenient, he wanted to equip his father and the generals in the Fu family army with them.
It's not easy to train a general who can fight, but it's easy for a general to die in battle.
If they could have more protection, Fu Chenan would even be able to sleep more peacefully.
Xiao Yingchun, considering the ten Linzhi gold coins, how could she not agree? She immediately agreed: "No problem!"
Fu Chenan was even happier: "Then I'll go first."
As if he had made up his mind, Fu Chenan strode away.
The side door of the Marshal's Mansion opened, and Fu Chen'an, who had been seriously injured for many days, sat in a carriage, escorted by his personal guards, and finally left the mansion for a night stroll.
The red sleeves of the brothel beckoned, and the general was late to dismount.
Fu Chen'an, still recovering from his injuries, could not wait to enter the famous Zuihonglou in the capital, ordering several courtesans to serve him, and also invited several second-generation rich men to accompany him.
