Chapter 18 It's Good to Stay

When we repeated the worship ceremony again, everyone actually went there with the mentality of letting Huo Hai give up.

Sure enough, after the ceremony, he was still sitting in the car.

"Sir, it's almost dark, it's time for us to go back." After Wang Dang finished spilling all the talisman paper in his hand, he waited on the spot for more than an hour before walking to Huo Hai's car window.

"Let everyone go back and keep a few people with strict slander come down."

After Huo Hai explained Wang Dang, he started the car. Wang Dang, who knew that Huo Hai had some secret matters, did not ask much. He called Lin San, Zhao Chong, Du Yi, Zhang Gu and other young men over, and after Huo Hai greeted him, he squeezed into the car together.

"What are we going to do?" Wang Dangcai asked after the car started.

"Hide the car, it has no oil and cannot run to Black Mountain. When we get the oil in the future, let's drive it away!" Huo Hai replied.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dang nodded and stopped talking.

In fact, he had known that Huo Hai was making such preparations, because when he came, he installed shovels, a lot of linen, wood, and even a large pot of clay pot in the carriage.

The mountains in this area are not big. Due to drought and the approaching winter, there are many yellow trees. The cars drive obliquely on the hillside, which is actually very scary and cannot drive far. After finding a place with good soil, Huo Hai stopped the car.

After opening the carriage, he handed over tools such as shovels, rakes, and others to Wang Dang and others, and after they started digging holes, Huo Hai took down all the things that could be cleaned up in the car and even removed.

This includes the treble horn installed on the roof, the rearview mirrors inside the car, the rearview mirrors on the left and right sides of the car, the toolbox for tire change or minor problems repair, and even two fire extinguishers and emergency escape hammers were taken down.

Of course, he did not want to bury the whole car. In order to ensure that the car could still be used after a period of time, he also prepared some wood in his car, supported it in the hole and nailed it to prevent the soil on the top from collapsing, so that the car could still be used within a certain period of time.

It took several hours to dig a hole that could hide such a big car into it. It was not until more than an hour after dark that everyone finally dug the hole that Huo Hai needed, and then they started to install the beams and pillars supported by nails. It was another hour before Huo Hai overturned the car into it.

The final work before sealing the hole is to suck out the remaining oil in the car with a plastic pipe to prevent it from not opening, evaporating, and blocking the oil pipe for several years.

Wang Dang and the others naturally didn't understand this principle, but when Huo Hai asked him to suck, he sucked it, which made him feel uncomfortable.

After using linen to cover the car body tightly for two or three layers, Huo Hai and everyone used soil to seal the hole and make camouflage and mark it.

There is little groundwater in the north, and the caves excavated horizontally are usually dry. New cars like Huo Hai should be in trouble for two or three years.

After the sealing of the mouth, it was almost midnight. Huo Hai was reluctant to turn on the lights with his mobile phone, because after the phone was out of power, he didn't know when the next time he turned on the phone. After the phone was fully charged while driving, he turned off the phone directly.

After getting some diesel on the tree stick, Wang Dang and others made a few torches, the few people carried the tools and brought the things that were removed from the car, and walked all the way back to the village.

A pot of noodles with ham sausages was the food for everyone tonight. Huo Hai also opened a bottle of beer for each person. Although everyone, who knew that a beer bottle could be sold for a sky-high price of one million, was a little afraid to drink it, but after Huo Hai's persuasion, everyone blew it in the bottle.

They all know that after eating and drinking, some things should be rotten in their stomachs.

After the midnight snack, Huo Hai slept in a tent set up by Jiao Niang and the others. A small herringbone tent just came into the room. The roof of the shed was sewn in sheepskin and was padded on the ground. It was a dry grass more than one foot thick, and a bed was only one person wide and could be rolled up.

The pillow was the pillow that Huo Hai took off from the car, and it was covered with his wool sheepskin cloak. For a long time from now on, he would have to sleep like this and he had no choice at all, because this was the best tent. Most of the others could only use linen tents, which could not block the cold wind at night.

Not to mention, although he couldn't turn over when sleeping in this small tent, he was still very warm. He was so tired that he slept until dawn.

It may take a long time for a person to use a toothpaste, but if a group of people use it, it will be used up quickly. Chu Yu and Baoer have also joined Huo Hai and the children's teeth brushing army earlier. Therefore, the brushing team has now expanded to twelve people, and Huo Hai has finally stopped them from swallowing the foam of brushing into their stomachs.

"Tell you, we can sell a beer bottle for millions of dollars. In the future, we will eat more delicacies and seafood, and we will still care about the food residues that are overnight in the gap between our teeth?

You have to keep your stomach and eat better food. I will cook instant noodles later. It’s not noodles, but instant noodles. You haven’t eaten it before. Each person has a big bowl. If you drink soaking water and your stomach is full, you won’t be able to eat the noodles!…”

Huo Hai used this method of coaxing to persuade the children to spit out the soaked water.

So, during breakfast, there were two large pots of fragrant instant noodles, which were cooked as much as half a box.

"My things may require ten wheelbarrows to transport. You have to arrange twenty people to push carts and forty people to protect them." Wang Dang was also called by Huo Hai to eat noodles. During this period, he looked at the cargo piled up in Wang Dang's house.

"These things are crucial. It is inevitable to use half of the guard's manpower. If there are carriages or ox carriages, we can save a lot of manpower." Wang Dang said with some desire.

Once upon a time, his father also had a war horse. After it was passed on to him, he rode for several years. However, after the famine began, he had to sell the horse.

Huo Hai thought about the prices in Zhending County that Xu Chang told him two days ago and frowned.

The reason why his beer bottle was exchanged for something worth millions was that the prices in the north were generally high now. A cow costs at least more than ten thousand yuan, and a horse that could pull a cart costs more than twenty thousand yuan. As for the war horses used to ride, the minimum standard is 30,000 yuan. A slightly better one is more than fifty thousand yuan. Training a mature good breed of horses may even cost 100,000 yuan. The six hundred thousand yuan added by Zhen Ping to Huo Hai is actually only a few war horses.

If you really want to arm an army, even if it is two hundred cavalry, weapons, armor, and war horses combined, there is no effect if it doesn’t cost tens of millions of dollars.

But two hundred cavalry may not play any decisive role in the battlefield. When Boss Yuan and Boss Cao fight, they often consume tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of cavalry. The food consumption is hundreds of thousands of stones. The military pay and the money spent on the military are calculated in tens of millions of dollars. If you do not rely on rule and seek resources in the jurisdiction, how big a business is needed to make so much money, and compare it with them!

"When we arrive at Zhending County, let's take some more things! We always have to get some cattle, horses and livestock, and we can use it when farming and transporting goods in the future."

"What are we selling this time?" Chu Yu said excitedly.

She knew that if Huo Hai wanted to sell things, he would definitely let him come forward again.

Huo Hai glanced at the numerous boxes and said, "Let's go in the mirror!"

"Mirror? This thing is not worth much." Chu Yu said with some confusion.

If it is a bronze mirror from an ordinary wealthy family, even if it is polished very well, it will only cost a few hundred yuan.

Huo Hai looked at her appearance and smiled, opened one of the boxes, and took out a mirror inside.

This is a makeup mirror with a red plastic shell and a movable base. In later generations, this thing was mostly in the two-yuan store, and Huo Hai's purchase price was only a few cents.

Chu Yu was stunned when she saw this mirror. She grew up so old, but she had never seen her appearance clearly like this. Even the noodle soup that was dipped in the corner of her mouth when she was eating noodles was seen by her.

"Can you not sell this, this, this, such a good mirror?" Chu Yu hugged the mirror in his chest and said.

"There are more than one mirror in the box, there are more than a dozen sides, and there are all kinds of colors." Huo Hai shrugged and said, and continued to eat his own noodles.

What he is thinking about now is not how to sell these things he brought with him, but what he will do in the future. After all, even if he sells everything at a high price, he may not be able to build a strong army for him. Everyone's life needs to continue, and the consumption will continue.

Soon, Chu Yu opened the box that Huo Hai had just opened. Sure enough, there were mirrors with various colors and borders, and there were even some small mirrors as big as a palm. The key point was that she also saw the things on the back of these mirrors, all of which were very beautiful women. Chu Yu had never seen such a beautiful woman in this world, and she felt a little inferior.

"Are you women in the unknown place? They are all so beautiful?" He accidentally saw Chu Yu on the back of the mirror and looked at Huo Hai very ecstatically.

Huo Hai nodded and said, "Yes! They are all female stars. Uh, you can understand that the kind of woman who has passed down the world is worthwhile just by looking at this beauty!"

"Then how much do you plan to exchange it for?" Chu Yu asked.

"The lowest price is at least one hundred bulls and one hundred good horses. What do you think?" Huo Hai smiled.
