On the way to escape from natural disasters: She went crazy with space

When Chen Chao saw the sweet potato in Lu Qingqing's hand shining with an alluring luster, his eyes lit up!

The sweet potatoes on the market were sold out a month ago.

Most of those that are not circulated on the market are stored in cellars as planting crops, and few people will take them out to sell!

Chen Chao was knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that Lu Qingqing's taro was of very good quality and must be used as a crop!

It's a sin to sell all the crops!

But if he didn't change the sweet potato which was of such good quality, wouldn't it be a greater sin?

Chen Chao sighed and glanced outside the store without leaving any trace. He found that only Lu Qingqing came here alone, and her family was not with her.

So, Chen Chao raised his eyebrows. He obviously wanted to change it, but he looked reluctant.

"Alas, potatoes are not good for hunger. Not many people eat them recently..."

Lu Qingqing didn't want to waste time with him:

"Just tell me if you can change it?"

"Yes!"

"How do I change it? Give me a number!"

Chen Chao glanced at her and didn't say how to change it. He just asked:

"How many pounds of yam do you have?"

"Thirty pounds."

"Are they all of this quality?"

"All of them!"

Chen Chao was excited inside, but his voice was indifferent.

"Girl, if you want to exchange, you can exchange one pound of taro for half a pound of rice."

Lu Qingqing scratched her ears: "Boss, are you kidding?"

Before the famine, the price of taro was much higher than that of rice. One pound of taro could buy two pounds of rice.

When the famine came, not many people had taro at home, and the price was needless to say.

Lu Qingqing estimated that one pound of taro could be exchanged for four pounds of rice.

This boss actually wants to exchange a pound of sweet potatoes for half a pound of rice!

Think she is a fool!

Chen Chao looked at Lu Qingqing's contemptuous eyes, his face suddenly darkened, and he spoke first:

"This is the most fair price. If you want to change, then change. If not, leave now and don't interfere with my business!"

He saw that the girl was in urgent need of rice but had no money to buy it, so she had to exchange the potatoes and crops at home for it.

Now his rice shop is the only one still open on the whole street. I don’t believe she can find a second person to exchange it with!

Lu Qingqing glanced at the boss and said:

"In that case, I won't bother the boss from doing business."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and walked out.

Chen Chao was stunned:!!!

No, why doesn’t this girl play by the rules?

If the price is not suitable, can we negotiate it?

She left without even discussing the matter with him. Does she know how to buy things?

Seeing Lu Qingqing walking so fast, Chen Chao was really afraid that she would just miss such a good potato, so he quickly ran after her.

"Girl, don't leave yet. If the price isn't right, can we discuss it?"

"No."

"How about this, one pound of taro for eight ounces of rice, is that feasible?"

"Not feasible!"

"One pound for one pound?"

"Not feasible."

"One pound for one and a half pounds?"

Lu Qingqing remained unmoved: "No, boss, please make way for me and don't get in my way!"

Seeing that Lu Qingqing was not listening, Chen Chao was almost crying:

"Girl, please don't be like this. I was rude just now. Please don't hold it against me."

Lu Qingqing felt that he was such a jerk. She just wanted to have a good discussion with him, but ended up being kicked out!

Now that she's out, he's clinging to her and won't let her go. What's he trying to do?

"Boss, I don't have time to argue with you, I'd just trouble you to make way and let me pass!"

As soon as Lu Qingqing finished speaking, Chen Chao knelt down in front of her.

And then... I really started crying!

But what fell were not tears, but snot!

"Girl, I have old folks and children waiting for me to eat. Please have pity on me and switch with me."

Oh, you are sick!

Looking at the boss kneeling in front of her, crying as if his parents had died, Lu Qingqing had no choice but to agree to switch with him!

The deal was made at a price of one pound of taro for five pounds of rice. She exchanged thirty pounds, a total of one hundred and fifty pounds of rice.

Lu Qingqing walked out of the rice shop carrying 150 kilograms of rice on her shoulders without any effort.

Chen Chao happily saw Lu Qingqing out the door:

"Girl, how about I ask someone to bring you back on a donkey cart?"

"No need, my family has pulled a bullock cart here, it's nearby!"

"Okay then, next time you want to exchange for rice, remember to come find me again!"

"It's easy to talk about."

One pound for five pounds is really a good deal!

He sold the potatoes to rich people at a high price, which was a sure profit, and both of them were happy.

There were not many people out on the street to visit the market.

Lu Qingqing left the rice shop and immediately walked towards the alley.

She looked around for a long time and didn't see anyone passing by, so she quickly put the 150 kilograms of rice into the space.

Lu Qingqing thinks that the method of bartering is a good one.

Afterwards, she used this method to exchange for five kilograms of salt, three kilograms of peanut oil, three cans of chopped pepper chili sauce, five bags of dried preserved vegetables, one bag of dried bamboo shoots, and a bottle of soy sauce seasoning!

Don’t underestimate these things. It took a total of 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes to buy them.

In the past, this could be done with less than a hundred coins, but now it may not even be possible even if you spend one or two ounces of silver!

Because salt has always been regulated, the imperial court stipulated that each household could only buy one kilogram of salt per month, and no one could buy more!

Lu Qingqing was able to buy five kilograms just now because she met a smuggler of salt, and she was able to buy it through coercion and inducement!

After buying these important items, Lu Qingqing immediately rushed to another street and bought five pairs of insoles and two large oilcloths.

She originally wanted to buy an oil umbrella, but the price was too high!

He actually wants one or two taels of silver, why don't you just rob him?

Lu Qingqing still had four silver coins on her, and she didn't dare to spend them carelessly, so she simply bought oilcloth as a substitute.

The insoles and oilcloth cost her one or two taels of silver in total, and now she only had three taels of silver left!

I went to the pastry shop again and spent five hundred coins to buy a pound of almond cakes, half a pound of walnut cakes, twenty meat buns and twenty brown sugar steamed buns!

These are bought for Yaoyao to eat. The little girl is growing up and is greedy.

Now, she can't give Yaoyao the best food and a rich life, but a bag of snacks is still enough to satisfy her.

After buying these things, Lu Qingqing had 1500 coins left. Considering that she would encounter various dangers on the way to Chongzhou City, she went to exchange for a dagger!

Iron was regulated in the Yan Dynasty. As the Yan Dynasty valued culture over military affairs, the control over iron was even stricter.

Farming households are only allowed to purchase two iron hoes for farming each year. If they purchase more than that, they will be fined!

Merchants were allowed to buy ten pieces of ironware for home use, and any more would be fined.

However, lethal weapons such as daggers, knives, swords, and arrows are not allowed to be purchased by individuals, but merchants are allowed to purchase them by themselves!

As the name suggests, merchants who go out to do business are likely to be robbed by bandits, so they can buy weapons for self-defense!

In fact, it’s all about money!

Damn, it’s so hard for a poor farmer to get a dagger!

But money makes the world go round, so it’s not that difficult!

Lu Qingqing didn't want to spend money to buy it, so she used fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes to exchange for a dagger.

She went to the meat market again and exchanged thirty kilograms of sweet potatoes for five big roosters and five big ducks. She asked the boss to help kill and bleed the birds, and then threw them into the space with their feathers to keep them fresh.

After buying these things, she estimated that there would be less than 200 kilograms of taro left, which could only last for one month at most. She had to find a time to enter the space when she returned, dig out half of the taro, and then quickly plant it in the space.

This will ensure that there will be no shortage of taro.

The sun was setting when Lu Qingqing returned to the village entrance. She took out two bags of herbs and a bun from the space, and walked in with them in her hands.

There were only two guards chatting at the entrance of the village, and no one knew where the other three had gone.

Lin Xiong: "I've been blowing yellow sand here every day. I've aged ten years. If matchmaker Zhang sees my awful appearance, she will definitely refuse to find me a husband."

Lin Feng: "What? Matchmaker Zhang is arranging a marriage for you?

"Yes."

"Next time, ask her to tell me one too."

"Go away, I haven't even finished my words yet!"

"Your destiny has not yet arrived, so it cannot be said!"

"Go! Go! Go."

They were chatting, and Lu Qingqing wanted to walk in quietly without attracting their attention.

But she had only taken a few steps when Lin Xiong shouted at her:

"Stop, where are you going? Are you blind and don't you see us?"
