Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

The two of them ate steamed buns and potato pancakes in the morning.

I asked the inn for two cups of hot water to complete my breakfast.

Xu Wenyan said that he had seen Rong Xiaoliu's house. It was not big, with two bedrooms, a living room and a fire room.

After asking around, he found Fangya in the county and went to see the house first. Because Xu Wenyan couldn't wait for other buyers to come and see it, he had to sell it to Fangya at a low price.

This is also something that can't be helped.

"Oh, it's so cold in your house." The man Fang Ya that Xu Wenyan found was probably in his thirties or forties, with a mustache, and was quite eloquent.

Xu Wenyan has been renting houses since junior high school. He has lived in hotels that cost 500 yuan a night and basements that cost 200 yuan a month. He knows all about selling houses. "I didn't live at home this year because it was a bit cold."

Fang Ya walked around the house twice more, but Xu Wenyan couldn't see any expression on his face.

It took him a long time to express his thoughts.

"Brother, you see the location of this house is just average. It's at the very end of the alley, the lighting is not good, and the furniture is a bit old. I can only give you this price." The man with the mustache held up five fingers.

This price was obviously too low: "I'm afraid this won't work. After all, my house is big enough for a family of four or five. It's quiet here, no one will bother you. With the situation outside, many houses have collapsed.

The fact that my house is still intact shows that it is of good quality. And aren’t those whose houses have collapsed in a hurry to buy a house? "

Xu Wenyan can bargain and brag without hesitation. You must not compromise easily at this time. Five taels of silver will be a loss.

"Hey, brother, how much do you want?"

"Ten taels." Xu Wenyan said firmly.

Fang Ya's expression changed: "Why did you double the price? Even if the house is ruined now, it's not worth this much! Six taels, six taels is not low."

"Fifteen taels."

"Why is it getting more and more? Seven taels."

"Twelve taels."

"Just seven taels!"

"Nine taels."

"Alright, alright, eight taels!"

"Okay!" Xu Wenyan smiled. This method of controlling people's psychology always worked when he was buying vegetables downstairs in the community.

The teeth of the house are also on top.

Without giving him a chance to react, Xu Wenyan took out the property deed and handed it to Fang Ya.

This price is not enough to make Fang Ya lose money, but the profit is not much.

"Look at you, how come such a young guy is so good at bargaining?" Fang Ya also muttered as he slowly signed the house deed and paid the money.

Just take it to the county government office for review later.

After Xu Wenyan got the money, he took Rong Xiaoliu away for fear that Fang Ya would regret it.

"Brother Xu, you are so awesome." As early as when Fang Ya said six taels, Rong Xiaoliu felt that it was about right. He never thought that their shabby house could only be sold for eight taels.

Pushing the money in front of Rong Xiaoliu, Xu Wenyan rubbed his nose and said, "It's nothing, nothing."

Rong Xiaoliu pushed back Xu Wenyan's hand that was holding the money: "Brother Xu, this is the accommodation fee for me and my sister. Although I know it's not enough, I will work hard to make money. From now on, everything I have will belong to Brother Xu!"

Looking at the righteous face of Rong Xiaoliu, Xu Wenyan also shook his head. A child of this age can already make big promises.

"Okay, your brother Xu won't be polite with you either." After receiving the silver, Xu Wenyan took a quick look around. What Chen Xingjie said about the sharp rise in prices was absolutely true. Now buns cost four cents each, and salt costs eighty cents per pound. He couldn't even think about other things.

Without much thought, Xu Wenyan directly used one or two taels of silver to buy more than ten kilograms of salt. This thing would only become more and more expensive, so he had to spend it even if he was reluctant.

Then I spent another pound to buy two barrels of oil.

When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, he spent more than three taels, almost four taels, to buy a shovel, an iron saw, an iron pickaxe and a small carving knife.

This money is really hard to spend. I only took eight taels and only two taels are left.

Rong Xiaoliu had to carry these three things, and Xu Wenyan also had to hold the oil.

I spent another eight cents to buy two meat buns and cooked a small meal for myself.

Although Rong Xiaoliu was reluctant, since Brother Xu had spoken, he might as well eat it: "I'm sorry, sister, I have to eat the buns secretly."

Xu Wenyan was also amused after listening to Rong Xiaoliu's words. He felt so guilty just for going out to secretly eat a bun.

We have to rush to Jixiang Village as soon as possible. Xu Wenyan feels tired just thinking about the long journey.

The brother and sister went to the county government to handle the 100 Wen as soon as they received the money, hoping that they would not be taxed again in the future. If they were to be taxed again, they could only trouble the village chief to add a few more words when paying the taxes.

trouble.

When we reached the previously closed mountain pass, we could see that the snow had been cleared away.

It seems that the court is not slow in working for money.

Before he reached the center of the village, Xu Wenyan heard continuous groans.

"Oh, what shall we do? There are five people in our family and one hundred and fifty coins are gone just like that!"

"Your family is fine, but the Zhu family hasn't split up yet. There are nine people in the family, and they only spent more than 200 Wen."

Listening to them crying to each other, Xu Wenyan also knew that it was time to collect taxes and they had to pay. It was heard that if they didn't pay, they would have to do hard labor for another six months this year.

Few people can stand that kind of place. Even though food and lodging are provided, most people will not refuse to pay.

What to do with the land when people go back home?

Sad.

After walking further, Xu Wenyan heard the woman crying again. That place was the village chief's house, so he knew what it was for without having to think about it.

Xu Wenyan shook his head and continued to rush home.

When I walked into the yard, Chen Sanlin was tidying up the kitchen. After all, it was not appropriate to cook in the inner room all the time.

The kitchen is also made of mud bricks, so it is not difficult to rebuild it.

"I'm back." Chen Sanlin took the cloth bag and the two barrels of oil from Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan didn't answer, but stumbled back to the inner room and lay down on the bed.

The legs and waist begin to stretch and gradually relax.

"Ah...so cool."

He had never walked such a long road in his life, or in the previous life. Although his uncle's house was also in the village, it only took more than two hours to walk to the town. This Jixiang Village was really too remote.

From now on, Xu Wenyan would never go to the county unless there was something important.

Rong Xiaoliu also wanted to lie down next to Xu Wenyan, but he was afraid that Chen Sanlin would beat him, so he obediently went back to the big bunk and lay down.

"Uncle, drink some water." Chen Xiaohua would always observe carefully, whether it was cleaning, washing dishes or serving meals, she would do it consciously.

Xu Wenyan took it and poured it into his mouth, thinking that it would be better to raise a daughter.

Afterwards, Chen Sanlin told Xu Wenyan what had happened in the village over the past two days. There were more than twenty households in Jixiang Village that could not survive the cold wind.

More than 150 people died and countless others suffered frostbite. After the government wiped out these people, they took all the money they owed. Because the mountain was closed, every household saved some money, so they managed to survive.

I'm afraid I'll have to eat wheat bran and wild vegetables this year.

The court's actions truly hurt the hearts of the people in the south.
