Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Money comes from all directions to pawn shop.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the plaque with traditional Chinese characters and thought that these ancient traditional Chinese characters were not particularly difficult. At least she could read them. However, it would be difficult for her to write them.

Xia Shengsheng walked into the pawnshop with his head held high.

I found such a big pawnshop empty.

I didn't see a single person, and I didn't know where everyone had gone.

"Is anyone there? The shopkeeper?"

Xia Shengsheng shouted loudly a few times before she heard a rustling sound coming from behind the counter.

An old man with gray hair, which was meticulously tied up with a jade hairpin, stretched himself, yawned, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"So early? It's not even noon yet! And there are already guests?"

It's strange to say, his pawn shop's business is usually between the afternoon and the evening, and almost no one comes to the pawn shop to pawn things throughout the morning, so he is used to dozing off on the counter after opening the door.

I didn't expect to be woken up today.

"Boss, I have something to pawn. Can you give me a price?"

Xia Shengsheng slowly opened the package containing the glass and handed it to the pawnshop owner who was still in a daze.

The pawnshop owner didn't care at first, but suddenly he took a quick glance as if he had seen some treasure.

Every cell in my body instantly became alert.

The man also stood up directly from the chair.

Holding the glass in front of me with both hands, I looked at it carefully and couldn't let it go!

"Shopkeeper? Shopkeeper, can you please make an offer? I have something else to do! Please don't waste my time, okay?"

Xia Shengsheng waited for a long time but the pawnshop owner didn't say anything, so he couldn't help but urge him.

The pawnshop owner finally came to his senses and stared at Xia Shengsheng for a long time, repeatedly pondering the identity of the person in front of him.

"Where did you get this thing? Why did you want to pawn it?"

Xia Shengsheng had already thought of an excuse.

"These are the things of our master. He loves to play and has lost a lot of money recently. He is taking out the things at home to slow down his luck. When he has enough money in a while, he will definitely come back to buy them back!

Are you going to accept it or not? I have to go back and report! I can’t waste too much time.”

Xia Shengsheng was particularly arrogant when he spoke, and he seemed more like a servant in a wealthy family!

It shouldn't be too surprising that someone of his status would take out a glass as pawn.

The pawnshop owner lingered in my mind.

The master likes to play? Do you want to redeem it later?

Is he the young master of Prefect Song's family? Or is he Master Zheng?

wrong!

Could it be someone from the Su family? Didn't their family bring back a large number of things from Persia on a merchant ship not long ago? Could it be that this crystal clear cup was brought back by the Su family this time?

If there is such a good thing in Persia, tell your master quickly, this will be a fortune-making deal!

The pawnshop owner was thinking about this and that, but he regained his usual composure.

"Mother, of course we will take your things, but you know that if you pawn it alive, the price won't be too high. How about pawning it dead? How about I pay 1000 taels of silver?"

For some reason, Xia Shengsheng felt that the pawnshop owner's eyes were full of cunning and scheming.

It made her alert.

"Shopkeeper, please don't lie to me. The dead pawn is only 1000 taels. Don't you see the value of this thing? Who needs your taels of silver these days?

Forget it, I won't work for you anymore, I'd better take it back and report to my master!"

After saying this, he seemed to be about to wrap up the glass and take it away.

The pawnshop owner panicked and hugged the package. He was waiting to take this good thing to the owner to show his appreciation! How could he let the duck in his mouth fly away?

"Hey! What are you doing? Are you trying to bully my customers? Let me tell you, our master is not someone who is afraid of trouble, so don't use your tricks against me."

Xia Shengsheng had a feeling that if she continued acting like this, she would believe in her character!

She is truly a rising star in the entertainment industry!

"No, no, no! Don't get angry! Let's talk it over nicely! I made a mistake in my offer just now. It's my fault. Five thousand taels, live. How about that?"

The pawnshop owner saw that Xia Shengsheng was not as excited as before, so he stopped to think.

Hurry up and add fuel to the fire.

"Mother, five thousand taels is not a small amount, and it's for living things. If you want to redeem it in the future, you can do so at any time. Our store is a century-old brand with a good reputation. Don't worry, you will not lose money at this price, and your master will definitely be satisfied when you report back..."

Xia Shengsheng felt that the performance was good enough and reluctantly agreed to the price.

"I want 49 silver notes of 100 taels each, from Yong'an Bank. I don't want notes from other banks. For the remaining 5 taels, I want loose silver in 10-tael or -tael pieces!"

Yongan Bank has branches in places large and small across the country, even in Niutou Town. It is very convenient to withdraw money there, and this bank is a state-owned enterprise. Unless the country is destroyed, it is the safest bank to use. That's why Xia Shengsheng wanted their bank's silver notes!

The pawnshop owner was curious about why Xia Shengsheng wanted the silver in such a scattered amount, but he didn't dare to ask more, for fear that he would get angry and then not pawn the things to him.

If he pawned it at another pawnshop and the owner found out, he would probably blame him for not doing his job properly.

"Mother, I have packed it according to your request. If your master has any more good things, please remember to pawn them here. Don't forget it!"

Xia Shengsheng nodded and took the packed package. It was quite heavy.

Fortunately, most of them are banknotes. If they were all silver, I wouldn’t be able to carry it!

Before Xia Shengsheng's figure disappeared in the streets.

The pawnshop owner gave an order to the silent room!

Two figures left the pawnshop in an instant and chased in the direction of Xia Shengsheng!

The pawnshop owner stroked his straight beard.

I'm still guessing Xia Shengsheng's identity!

But he was not in a hurry, he would know soon!

……

After all, Xia Shengsheng has been a special forces soldier for more than 20 years, and he has long felt that someone is following him.

No one is more familiar with tracking and anti-tracking than her.

After walking through several alleys with a proud manner, Xia Shengsheng easily left the people behind him behind.

Xia Shengsheng turned left and right and found an empty dead end. She changed her clothes, tied her hair up with a cloth strip again, and wiped the makeup on her face with the clothes she had taken off without paying attention.

He looked at the clothes that had been changed, threw them away, and turned to walk towards the city gate.

The donkey cart was due to return in the afternoon, so Xia Shengsheng planned to buy everything he needed in the city so that he would not waste time returning to Niutou Town.

Although the things in Fucheng are more expensive than those in Niutou Town, they have a wide variety of products and...

She has plenty of money now!

The most important farm tools you must buy this time.

Xia Shengsheng was almost asking for directions as she walked.

The first place we arrived at was the blacksmith's shop.

For example, in Niutou Town, if you want to buy farm tools, you have to order them in advance and then pick up the finished products a few days later.

But this may be because the store in this city is big and has many customers.

I will prepare some commonly used items.

Things like hoe, shovel, fork, sickle, etc. that Xia Shengsheng needed this time were all available.

I remembered that the iron pot at home was borrowed from Sister Ma, and it was not good to always use other people's things, so I bought a large iron pot with six seals and a small handle pot.

These things are really expensive. They cost more than six taels. No wonder farm tools and ironware are huge assets of every household!

Even if a person works for a year, he may not be able to save up six taels of silver!

After buying the farm tools, I temporarily left them in the blacksmith shop as they were difficult to carry. I went to other places first, and after buying everything, we went to the city gate together.

The sun was high above Xia Shengsheng's head. Only when he heard the hawking of street snacks did he feel hungry.

I casually ordered a bowl of wontons and a salted pancake at a roadside stall, and sat there and started eating.
