On the way to escape from natural disasters: She went crazy with space
Chapter 58 Boss Clock Tower
Regardless of whether it is true or not?
They all had to be fully prepared, in case they happened to enter a state capital that had been attacked by the Huns while fleeing from the famine. That would be disastrous.
Lu Qingqing wanted to ask the proprietress something, but at this moment, the waiter came over with two bags of flour.
Li Suya said something to the waiter, then walked into the inner room of the store and never came out again.
The inner room was blocked by a curtain, so Lu Qingqing couldn't see clearly from the outside and didn't dare to disturb her.
Lu Yuanzheng took the flour handed to him by the waiter and put the two bags together on the backpack.
Lu Qingqing felt that it would take too much time for the two of them to go shopping together, so she said:
"Brother, let's buy them separately. You buy the cotton shoes, hot water bottle, and fire starter, and I'll buy the rest. Whether you buy them or not, we'll meet here in an hour."
As she spoke, Lu Qingqing took out six taels of silver and carefully placed it in Lu Yuanzheng's hand.
Lu Yuanzheng had never seen so much silver in his life and was shocked:
"Qingqing, where did you get so much money?"
Lu Qingqing blinked, "Brother, have you forgotten what your third uncle does? Dad left me ten taels of silver when he went out."
Uncle San is a bodyguard, so of course he didn’t forget.
However, this money was earned by Uncle San at the cost of his life.
Moreover, it was left for Qingqing and Yaoyao as their personal belongings, so he couldn't take it.
When he went out, his mother gave him some money and told him not to take Qingqing's money because it would be her dowry in the future!
He couldn't touch his sister's dowry. When Lu Yuanzheng pushed the silver back to Lu Qingqing, Lu Qingqing said:
"Brother, if what the lady boss said is true and the Xiongnu invaders really come, then when the Yan Dynasty is in chaos, our silver will be wasted. We might as well make plans early and buy more reserves to protect ourselves and not be bullied by the Xiongnu invaders."
Lu Yuanzheng had heard storytellers talk about how powerful the Huns were.
In every country he invaded, he slit the throats of the elders and adults, imprisoned the children, drank their blood, ate their flesh, and dug out their hearts to roast and eat!
Wherever the Huns went, they committed all kinds of atrocities, causing suffering everywhere!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzheng couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.
He no longer refused Lu Qingqing, took the silver, said a few words to Lu Qingqing, and quickly went to buy things.
My cousin is sensible and knows what to do. As long as you explain everything to him in detail, he will weigh the pros and cons himself and then know what to do.
Lu Qingqing was extremely glad that her cousin was not a foolish person!
However, there has never been any foolish person in the Lu family, except for Lu Xiong's family who are rebellious!
Lu Qingqing looked at her cousin's receding back, and she quickly went forward to buy what she needed!
This time, Lu Qingqing didn't go out to buy anything with a purpose, but just went into every open shop she passed by to take a look.
pharmacy.
"Boss, how much are the dried ginger and mugwort?"
These two medicinal herbs can dispel the cold. In such cold weather, boiling them and using them to soak your feet can dispel the cold, so as to prevent the cold from entering the body and causing illness.
Lu Qingqing thought it would be very expensive, but unexpectedly the shop owner said:
"Dried ginger is five cents a pound, and mugwort is three cents a pound! How much do you want?"
so cheap?
Lu Qingqing was startled. The shop owner seemed to see what she was thinking and said intentionally or unintentionally:
"Yuantian Town is rich in dried ginger and mugwort. Every household grows them. These two things are not worth much in the pharmacy."
Lu Qingqing nodded: "Boss, look at how many you have in your store? I want them all."
The shop owner took a look at Lu Qingqing, then immediately packed up and weighed all the dried ginger and mugwort and handed them to Lu Qingqing.
"Twenty cents in all."
The two together weigh thirty kilograms.
"Okay." Lu Qingqing gave the money, then immediately took the things to a secluded place, put them all in the space, and immediately went to the next room.
The next one is a mountain product store.
The boss probably feared that the mountain products would be damaged by the heat, so he didn't turn on the heater in the store. At this moment, the shop owner was looking down at a letter sent from home.
The family paid a high price to entrust a security guard to deliver the letter. Although the security guard was very careful, the letter was still wet.
In such horrible weather, it's good enough that the escort is willing to take the responsibility.
The shop owner did not blame the escort. Instead, he thanked him generously and gave him a hot meal before letting him leave.
After the escort left, the shop owner immediately dried the letter and read it quickly, but when he read the first word, he looked up and saw Lu Qingqing coming in wearing patched clothes.
The shop owner frowned and was about to kick the man out.
But upon closer inspection, although her clothes were worn out, they were clean and her face was fair.
He was not like the other disaster victims who came here to buy things, who were unkempt, dirty and smelly.
He was afraid that the smoke would spoil his goods, so when they came to buy things, he would just wave them away and had no intention of selling to them.
The shop owner, Zhong Lou, saw that Lu Qingqing was different from the other disaster victims, so he quickly put the letter aside, stood up and greeted her, saying:
"Look, what do you want to buy?"
Seeing that the boss had a good attitude, Lu Qingqing looked at it generously.
Wild mushrooms, wild red mushrooms, big potatoes, field sweet potatoes, wild bamboo shoots, walnuts, mountain pigeons, tits...
There were so many mountain products in his store that Lu Qingqing was dazzled and wanted to buy them all, but her financial situation did not allow it.
She pointed at some of the more delicious dishes and asked, "Boss, how much are these?"
From the bell tower, it seemed that she was referring to the five things: wild mushrooms, big potatoes, wild bamboo shoots, mountain pigeons and tits.
He was about to quote the price one by one, but changed his mind and said, "Originally, the prices of these items are different. It just so happens that I am going to close the door and go north after completing your order. So I will sell them to you at a lower price of fifty cents per pound."
The weather was so bad that it was inconvenient for him to carry so many things on the road.
It would be better to do a good deed and sell them all to this girl at a low price.
However, Zhong Lou never dreamed that he would do such a small act of kindness to Lu Qingqing.
In the near future, Lu Qingqing will repay him by saving his family's lives.
Afterwards, Zhong Lou treated Lu Qingqing as if she were a Bodhisattva and expressed his gratitude to her.
Lu Qingqing was surprised that the boss was so generous, but she didn't bother to be polite with him. She said:
"Then I'll take them all. Can you tell me how much they cost in total?"
The mountain products in his shop were all rare and valuable. She still had seven taels of silver on her, so she could spend half of it to buy them.
Seeing how generous she was, Zhong Lou quickly sorted, packed and weighed the food for her.
It was exactly fifty kilograms, but the boss asked Lu Qingqing to just pay two taels of silver.
"How does this work?"
The boss sold it to her at a low price, so she was already taking advantage.
Lu Qingqing didn't want to take advantage again, so she put two taels and five hundred coins on the table.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Lou hurriedly sent a lot of hickory nuts, titmice, and wild red mushrooms to Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing refused, but Zhong Lou said, "They are all worthless things. I can't take them with me when I go north. It would be a waste to throw them away."
Lu Qingqing looked at the pile of things in her hand and had to accept them reluctantly:
"Thank you very much, boss!"
She thought about it and asked, "Boss, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to go north in such a cold weather?"
Zhonglou glanced outside, then lowered his voice and said, "You may not know yet? The Xiongnu invaders have already reached Fuzhou, and will probably reach Mingzhou soon. My family is in Mingzhou, and I have to hurry back to take them into hiding first."
