Chapter 143 Changes(1/2)
"I see you don't go out much lately, what are you doing?"
After the rain stopped for about seven days, Meiyou went to the foot of the back mountain to check it out, picked some wild fruits, and stopped by Meiyou's house.
"Working hard."
When Meiyou entered the room, she saw Meibei's resentful look and suddenly fell silent.
If someone behaves like this in the middle of the night, Mei Berry might really be regarded as some kind of grievance-ridden ghost.
Meiyou followed Meiberry's raised hand and watched her knitting.
I took a look and didn't see what it was.
After another look, Mei You asked silently: "Headband?"
Mayberry:??
"It's a knee brace." Meiberry, who no longer wanted to argue, handed another knee brace that she and her mother had made together to Mei You, letting her see the finished product.
As a result, Meiyou took it and took a look at it. Although the finished product was good, Meiyou met Meiberry's eyes again and asked: "Don't you think the opening in your hand seems a bit small?"
Mayberry:???
"Forget it, it's not for me anyway, a smaller one should be fine."
Meiberry took one look and gave up trying to save her.
Then he looked up at Mei You and said expectantly: "By the way, sister, after we finish this in a few days, we can go to Jiubaoxuan to discuss business~ What do you think, how should we discuss this thing? Or technology investment
?”
Now that Mei You is here, she can't help but be "picked out" by Mei Bei, and they discuss together how to find Jiubaoxuan in the future.
"Yes, but it's not as simple as soap. It can be solved by handing over a recipe. For example, knitting yarn requires people to learn it in person."
Meiyou mentioned the wool thread here and a more important point.
"I don't know whether Jiubaoxuan's final focus is on wool threads or knitwear."
Meiyou suddenly said something like this, which also attracted Meiberry's attention.
"If the focus is on wool thread, it is obviously a good thing that will benefit the country and the people. If it is knitted products, they will look down on simple knitted products, and they will even demand higher quality of wool thread..."
Following Meiyou's words, Meiberry also realized a terrible problem as she spoke.
Mayberry remembered the historical economic case that she had seen before - "Sheep eats people".
With the promotion of wool thread, the people's demand for wool thread has increased, and the demand for native sheep in the Central Plains cannot be met, which will naturally shift more attention to the nomads.
If wool could be exchanged for more necessities such as food, salt, and tea, the battle between the grassland nomads and the Central Plains would plummet.
Once you realize the importance of raising sheep, why fight when you can get good things with wool?
The short-sighted man no longer breeds his war horse, and the brave man puts down his butcher knife and no longer fights.
Everyone raises sheep, and their dependence on the Central Plains is getting deeper and deeper. If the Central Plains suddenly cuts off the wool trade one day, it will be a disaster for the foreigners who raise sheep...
"hiss--"
Meiberry suddenly felt that if she wanted to make some money through wool, she might get into big trouble.
"Sister, what do you think the background of the person behind Jiubaoxuan is?"
Mei Bei was a little worried that the whole family would suddenly go from farming to scheming and fighting in the court. She, she couldn't handle it!
"have no idea."
"Eh?"
"If you don't know, you don't know." Meiyou looked at Meiberry honestly, "Just pretend it doesn't know."
"Oh~"
For a moment, Mei Berry didn't know whether to say that Mei You was deceiving others or pretending to be an ostrich.
"When the time comes, don't talk too much, hand over the things, and still talk about investing in technology and sending people to teach. Other things...if you don't want to cause trouble, don't say more."
After Meiyou finished speaking, he glanced at Meiberry and asked, "I heard from my aunt earlier that you want to write any other plans for them?"
"No, no, I won't write anymore." Mei Bei immediately sobered up and shook her head. Mei You reminded her promptly this time. Sometimes it's better not to be overly exposed, especially since you don't have the ability to protect yourself.
When I thought of this, Meiberry became less motivated to knit a sweater.
"sister."
"Um?"
"When the weather gets cooler, can you teach me some skills to protect myself?"
"Can you endure hardship?"
good question!
Facing Mei You's serious questioning look, Mei Berry hesitated for a second and then nodded immediately!
"Just teach me! As long as you don't say anything about me, I can't learn anymore, hahaha."
"That's not the case. The techniques used to kill people are not so fancy and vary from person to person."
Mayberry:0.0?
"kill?"
Mayberry wasn't sure if she heard correctly just now.
"What is the problem?"
Meiyou didn't know what Meiberry was surprised about, but Meiyou himself realized that this was a bad time and he just killed people.
"Ah, it's nothing, you just think it's pretty awesome?"
Mei Bei also remembered Mei You's previous situation. All Mei You knew were the skills forced by the apocalypse that allowed her to survive.
That's enough!
Mayberry is not picky about what it takes to survive.
Mayberry tried her best to appear less unacceptable and afraid.
At least, what the boss knows is the most useful summary of practice.
Mei You, who was looking at Mei Berry's behavior, also became interested. She thought that Mei Berry would cowardly ask if there was a way not to kill someone.
In the end, besides being confused for a moment, she seemed to accept it?
"Mayberry."
"Um?"
"Why don't you ask if you have the ability not to kill people?"
"Since you said it, sister, you must be super strong at this skill. If I ask about other things, you might be able to do it, but you're not strong.
I’m already this good at it, if I learn something less powerful, it’s useless to learn it~”
What Mayberry said seems to make sense?
Meiberry lowered her head and continued to fight against the knee pads, and whispered softly: "I probably won't be able to kill even if I learn how to kill~ I'm not afraid!"
Mei You was dumbfounded. For a moment, she didn't know whether she was being a bit over the top or whether the other party was being too arrogant...
A few days later, Mei Mei and Mei You followed Mei Youqian to the town.
A group of three people went straight to Lin Shoucai.
After they came to the door, Lin Shoucai was shocked by Mei Berry's appearance.
"Miss Mei San's face..."
Unlike everyone in the family who sees Meiberry every day, no one feels the subtle changes in Meiberry.
Lin Shoucai hadn't seen Meiberry for several months, and Meiberry had changed a lot.
At first glance, if Mei Youqian and Mei You weren't present, he wouldn't even dare to recognize Mei Mei.
"What's wrong with me?"
Mei Berry touched her face, thinking there was something dirty, and quickly turned to look at her father and Mei You, asking them to wipe it quickly if they saw it.
But both of them shook their heads and saw nothing, so the three of them turned to Lin Shoucai, who then finished the second half of his surprised words:
"Very white……"
It wasn't like the pallor of a patient, but the fair skin of Mei Bei's Sai Xue always reminded him of his sickly master, who also had an astonishingly pale face and bright red lips.
But there are differences between Mayberry and his master.
Plumberry's red lips are plump and moist, like ripe cherries soaked in morning dew;
The complexion of the whole face is also very good, with a little bit of radiant pink in the snow-white skin.
Therefore, the strong contrast between the snow-skinned red lips is much less severe than that of his master.
If my master gradually gets better, will he be like this with the other girl?
To be continued...
