After a while, the maid came out, and a young girl walked up behind her. Her skin was like cream, and her hair was as black as clouds. She was indeed a beauty with the appearance of a fairy.
"I have seen Miss Fairy."
As soon as Ye Chuqiu saw the gift, the maid covered her mouth and laughed, "You come to sell things in front of our house, and you don't even know our lady's last name, and you dare to claim that your flowers are the second in the city."
"It's not second in the city, it's unique."
Ye Chuqiu turned her hand over and said, "I also have this second rose. If Miss Fairy likes it, she only needs five taels of silver to form a fairy bond with me."
"How did you do this?"
Seeing Ye Chuqiu's magic-like technique, the maid was shocked, and the young lady's beautiful eyes also shone with light.
Ye Chuqiu turned her hand again, and the two flowers disappeared again. The maid became more and more curious, "Where did you hide the flowers?"
"This young lady is not a human being. She is a fairy from the Nine Heavens descending to the mortal world."
Ye Chuqiu ignored the maid's surprise. She turned her hand again, and two flowers appeared in her hand. The strange thing was that after her tossing, the two flowers were still as delicate and beautiful as if they had just been cut from the branches.
Desire drops.
She walked up to the young lady and handed the flowers to the young lady. "The envoy from Penglai arrived with flowers. The fairy flowers are dedicated to the banished immortal."
"You, old woman, are quite interesting."
The young lady took the flowers from Ye Chuqiu and finally said, "Little Cui'er, just give her five taels of silver."
"You are lucky today."
Xiaocui took five taels of silver and handed it to Ye Chuqiu. When Ye Chuqiu took the money, the lady said again: "You said, your flowers are unique. If I let this lady see the third one, I want you to look good."
.”
"Miss, don't worry."
Ye Chuqiu smiled slightly. After the young lady and the maid left, the smile on her face disappeared. She ducked and ran quickly.
She had just performed so hard that she even used the space ring, and at least she got five taels of silver. According to the current price, five taels of silver is about equivalent to five thousand yuan in later generations. Her two flowers are worth selling, and they are from a wealthy family.
The money is really good.
When she had money, of course she went to buy food. She had been hungry all day and didn't even have a drink of water, so she quickly bought some meat buns.
Due to the unrest yesterday, the business on the street was sluggish and many shops were closed. After wandering on the street for most of the day, I finally found a steamed bun shop.
"Boss, I want all these buns in your house."
Ye Chuqiu pointed to the meat buns on the stove and said confidently.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid you can't afford these steamed buns."
The boss, who was wearing commoner clothes and of medium build, came out, looked at Ye Chuqiu up and down, and said with a half-smile.
"I can't afford two cages of steamed buns anymore?" Ye Chuqiu asked after hearing this: "How much does one of your steamed buns cost?"
"The meat buns cost fifty cents each, and the steamed buns cost twenty cents each," the boss said.
"A steamed bun costs 20 cents? You can steal the money!"
Ye Chuqiu jumped when she heard this. She remembered clearly that in the past, the original owner bought steamed buns at the town market. The steamed buns only cost one penny each and the meat buns cost two cents each. The price of the bun in front of her has increased more than twenty times, not to mention the size.
It's only half the size of what's sold in town.
"Old man, go and ask on the street. Where can you find cheap steamed buns for sale now? My family still sells these steamed buns cheaply. Others sell a meat bun for 80 cash, and a steamed bun costs 50 cash at least.
.”
The boss looked at Ye Chuqiu, with a smile still on his face, "Old man, I see you have come all the way, why don't I give you two?"
"Two? Who do you look down on? Bring me twenty meat buns and fifty steamed buns." Ye Chuqiu said and walked into the shop, "Put them in a bamboo basket and give me a pot of tea."
"I'm sorry, old man, but tea costs ten cents a pot."
"I bought so much, can't I give you even a pot of tea?"
Nowadays, one tael of silver is equivalent to about one thousand penny. She has a big business of two thousand penny. He actually refused to give her a pot of tea, which is really stingy.
"Old man, there is a drought now. I heard that people are dying of thirst in many places. This pot of tea can save lives at critical moments."
The boss glanced at Ye Chuqiu, as if he had seen through her identity as a refugee.
Ye Chuqiu looked down at the shoes under her feet. Her shoes were covered with mud and the hem of her clothes was dirty. She did not look like someone from this city.
"Okay." Ye Chuqiu could only agree.
Anyway, in this disaster year, money is dead and only food is reliable.
After successfully buying the steamed buns, she only had twenty taels of silver and ninety copper plates left in her hand.
Under the guidance of the boss, Ye Chuqiu went to the back door of the grain store again. He heard that the owner of the grain store was frightened yesterday and did not dare to open the door today. Only people he knew well could buy some food from the back door.
I successfully found the back door of the grain farm in a small alley. At this time, there were already people queuing up at the back door. Good guy, the price of this grain is really high. The price is clearly marked, rice is 300 pence a dou, wheat is 200 pence.
fight!
In the past, when Lao Lin's family sold grain, Ye Chuqiu clearly remembered that the wheat sold to these grain merchants was twenty cents a dou, but now, when it comes to buying grain, the price of grain has not only increased tenfold!
That's all. When buying grain, it was said that it was a bucket, but in fact the bucket was not full at all. But in the past, when selling grain, the bucket was piled sharply.
The reason why these merchants use containers instead of weight units is to facilitate their manipulation of the containers, making large buckets in and small buckets out.
Ye Chuqiu secretly gritted his teeth in his heart. All money is empty. He has grain in his hands and does not panic. Farming is the last word. When he settles down in the future, he must buy the land and be the owner. He will no longer be affected by these grain dealers.
.
He bought two buckets of rice, two buckets of wheat, and spent one tael of silver. Ye Chuqiu didn't plan to spend the remaining money. On the way to escape, he might encounter some villages, and he would exchange them with the villagers.
Food also requires money.
After buying the food, Ye Chuqiu put it all into the space, carried the diabolo basket out of the city, and when he got outside the city gate, he gave each of the city gate guards a penny, thanked them, and left.
"Mom, how are you?"
Lin Dahu and the others had been looking forward to it for a long time. When they saw Ye Chuqiu coming out, they quickly gathered around.
"Shh, don't make any noise."
Ye Chuqiu walked straight out. There were too many refugees at the city gate. If he took out the meat buns, someone might beat him.
Not to mention other refugees, there are so many villagers in Linjia Village, all of whom are familiar with each other. They look at you eagerly. Do you want to give it to them?
In order to avoid this kind of trouble, Ye Chuqiu walked far away.
Seeing her posture, Lin Dahu knew that she would gain something, so he also pushed the cart and followed her from a distance.
"Master, follow me quickly."
Li Youmei had sharp eyes. When she saw Lin Dahu and the others walking out, she quickly pulled her family to follow them. Although Lin Laosan over there looked stupid, he was not stupid at all. He also led his wife and children
