Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

When they were about to enter the city gate, several people jumped off their horses and led their horses while waiting to be checked by the guards.

When entering the city, I found that each person had to pay an entrance fee of 10 cents. It was not much, but not less either. It was the kind of amount that you would have to pay even if you cursed and gritted your teeth.

Several people paid the entrance fee and hurried into the city. Now was not the time to be fussy. They thought about going to the car dealership to buy a car first, and then start shopping.

When walking into the city, Zhao Yuanzhen found that there were few people on both sides of the street, and only a few shops were open.

It seems that Yanshan Prefecture should have also received the news. That's right, after all, there are more dignitaries in the prefecture, and the source of information is wider and faster.

If they hadn't gotten the information from the escort agency, they wouldn't have known about the Jin army breaking through the pass.

Fortunately, the cart shop was still open, so they asked the owner if he had any carts left. The owner was very happy to hear that they came to buy a cart.

He will be leaving tomorrow too, and he can't take the remaining goods with him, but he is reluctant to throw them away. Now that there are customers coming to his store, of course he is happy.

The shopkeeper was also very honest. They bought four buses and took up all his stock. He saw that they also wanted to buy wheels.

I gave them the remaining eight wheels. One cart cost 8 coins, and four carts cost 800 coins. After paying them, the other men went to harness carts.

Zhao Yuanzhen chatted with the shopkeeper. She wanted to ask him where he was planning to escape to so that she could have some reference.

The shopkeeper said that his daughter had married and moved to Yingtian Prefecture, so he was thinking of going to Yingtian Prefecture to find his daughter.

After all, Yingtian Prefecture is very close to Feng Prefecture, so safety should be guaranteed.

Zhao Yuanzhen watched them harness the car, then followed the shopkeeper and said goodbye.

In order to finish shopping faster, the five people decided to shop separately.

Zhang Qinghu took the doctor to buy medicine, Zhang Wudao took Zhang Qingyang to buy food. Zhao Yuanzhen went to the grocery store to buy groceries. They agreed to meet at the city gate half an hour later.

Several people drove away with their shopping lists.

Zhao Yuanzhen walked half a street before she found a grocery store that was open.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out the list and showed it to the waiter. The waiter said that their store had the items and she just needed to wait a while while he went to get them.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded and stood outside the counter waiting for the waiter to deliver the goods.

It took about ten minutes for the waiter to get everything ready. Zhao Yuanzhen counted the bill and paid the money, then asked the waiter to write down the name of each item and the price on a piece of paper.

It was too trivial, she didn't want to remember it. She could just hand the paper to them when she went back to reconcile the accounts.

While the second brother was writing, she looked around and decided to buy some tea. Drinking plain water every day is too bland.

I also picked out a nice tea set and bought it so I could make tea in the carriage.

She chose the better tea, which cost 900 wen per liang. She ordered half a jin of scented tea, black tea and green tea.

I can cook tea eggs later. I thought about it and found that I was out of eggs, so I bought 50 more eggs.

Eggs cost 1 cent each. I didn't choose expensive tea sets, but a set of elegant stoneware tea sets.

This way it wouldn't be too conspicuous, and I wouldn't feel bad if it got broken accidentally on the way. Thinking that the clay stove could be used to warm tea, I bought a slightly larger stoneware teapot.

It has a capacity of about 2 liters.

A set of tea set costs 600 wen, a teapot costs 300 wen, tea leaves cost 50 wen, and eggs cost wen, a total of wen.

Seeing how much she bought, the waiter gave her some coins and money. It was like giving her 50 eggs for free, and she was very happy.

The second brother helped her put the things into the carriage. She was afraid that the tea set and eggs would get mixed up, so she used her small backpack as a cover to put them into the space.

Then the tea leaves were placed in a small backpack.

Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go to the bank. She wanted to exchange some small change and copper coins, as large amounts of silver on the road would always be too conspicuous.

She also wanted to exchange some gold thread and gold leaves, and give some to everyone in the family to sew into their clothes, so that they would not starve to death even if they got separated.

She found an open bank and walked up to the window to tell the shopkeeper that she wanted to exchange silver. The shopkeeper looked her over and asked her how she wanted to exchange.

She took out 300 taels of silver from her backpack, preparing to exchange 10 taels for copper coins and 90 taels for small change.

The remaining 150 taels were exchanged for gold leaves and the remaining 50 taels were exchanged for gold thread.

When the shopkeeper saw her take out 300 taels, his eyes darkened. This woman in simple clothes was so generous.

He looked behind her again and confirmed that it was Zhao Yuanzhen alone. He took the silver and exchanged it for her.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked into the shopkeeper's eyes and smiled embarrassedly.

"Shopkeeper, this silver cake can also be exchanged, right?" As he said this, he handed the silver ingot that was accidentally squeezed into a silver cake to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened instantly. He saw with his own eyes that she just gently squeezed the 50-liang silver ingot into a silver cake.

He shook his head at the guy next to him, took the silver and went to exchange it calmly.

The exchange rate of gold and silver is 1 tael of gold equals 100 taels of silver, and her 10 can be exchanged for taels of gold.

The shopkeeper took out 10 strings of copper coins and 90 pieces of silver. He also took out 14 gold leaves, each weighing about 1 tael, and saw her puzzled expression.

The shopkeeper quickly explained that this was because there was a labor cost for making the gold leaves. Zhao Yuanzhen hummed. Seeing that she didn't care, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

The gold thread is about the thickness of three embroidery threads combined in a 5 cm section. There are about 20 threads in total.

The average price was about 1 cent per piece. A small amount of handling fee was also deducted. Zhao Yuanzhen didn't care.

He took out a piece of cloth from the backpack and carefully wrapped the gold leaves and gold threads. He also wrapped the copper coins and silver coins and put them in the backpack before leaving.

The waiter saw her leaving and asked hurriedly:

"Boss, aren't we going to do anything?"

"If you are not afraid of death, then go ahead."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and threw the silver cake to him. With such strength, his martial arts attainments must be unfathomable.

The world is in chaos nowadays, so we must not make such powerful enemies for ourselves again.

When Zhao Yuanzhen drove to the city gate, the doctor and Zhang Qinghu had already arrived. They were waiting for Zhang Wudao and Zhang Qingyang.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Wudao and his men came driving a cart full of grain, weighing more than 2000 kilograms.

The grain was evenly distributed to each cart, so that the horses would not be too tired. After the distribution, they left the city.

After rushing for almost two hours, we finally arrived at the resting place in the village when it was not so dark.

Only when he saw them coming back did the village chief feel relieved.

Zhao Yuanzhen put the tea set and eggs in it as if she was carrying a backpack.

Carrying a small backpack, he handed the price list of goods made by his second brother and the reins of the carriage to the village chief.

Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan saw their mother-in-law coming back and hurried over to help her get things.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out the teapot, tea set and tea leaves and handed them to Li Zhijuan, who took them swiftly and put them into the carriage.

He handed the eggs to Qian Xiaohui and told her to cook tea eggs. Tea eggs were already available in Daliang Dynasty at that time, but the villagers were reluctant to buy tea leaves to drink, let alone cook tea eggs.

Qian Xiaohui was afraid that she would not do it well, so she carefully asked Zhao Yuanzhen about the method of making tea eggs before she started to cook them.

Zhao Yuanzhen took the gold leaf cloth bag she had exchanged for and got into the carriage, and placed all the things in the drawer of the couch.

When we set off tomorrow, we can ask Li Zhijuan to sew a few cloth bags for the skin, and give each person a few gold leaves and gold threads.

As soon as he jumped off the carriage, Zhang Xinnian and a few others came back.

The horse meat was cooked, but they all looked pale and didn't eat anything, so they went to rest.

Zhao Yuanzhen sighed. Seeing so many people, even if their bodies were burned, the visual impact was huge, not to mention the unpleasant smell.

She exchanged a few bottles of cooling oil from the mall, and even specially exchanged them for packaging that was suitable for this era.

I gave it to Zhang Xinnian to smell, which relieved his condition a little. I then asked him to divide the rest up and let everyone smell it.

We had horse meat for dinner, but Zhao Yuanzhen didn't like cooked horse meat, so she gave up after eating only a few bites.

Horse meat tastes a bit sour when stewed, and is even better when made into jerky. She decided to have her daughter-in-law make all the horse meat she got.

Qian Xiaohui saw that she didn't eat much, so she went to get her some tea eggs. I have to say, these tea eggs were really well cooked, better than the ones in her previous life.

Maybe it’s because eggs are natural and don’t require that much chicken feed.

Nowadays, tea picking and tea making are all done manually, and the taste is also very fragrant. Zhao Yuanzhen ate 2 tea leaves and asked Zhang Xinshu to send 15 tea leaves to the old house. Let Zhang Sandao and the little old lady taste them too.

After the meal, several people quickly started cutting the horse meat into strips about three centimeters thick, three centimeters wide and about 15 centimeters long. The meat tastes best when it is cut like this, dried and fried.

After cutting, Zhao Yuanzhen found a large wooden basin and directed the addition of salt, soy sauce, and peppercorns. She also cut some scallions and ginger, and poured some white wine to remove the fishy smell.

After marinating for half an hour, you can find a clean oilcloth to lay out and dry to remove moisture. In this weather, it can be stored after drying overnight.

Everything was packed up. As usual, the children and grandchildren went to practice sword fighting, and she watched the stars beside the carriage.

I was looking at the stars and wondering whether I should go to this village.

If they don't go, they will find out that their accomplices have been killed when they go down the mountain tomorrow at the latest, and they will definitely find a way to find the murderer then.

Although they were in the woods at the time, they couldn't guarantee that no one saw them, nor could they guarantee that all traces had been cleaned up.

This put their village in danger.

While fleeing, they also had to be on guard against retaliation from bandits.

If they go, there will definitely be a lot of wealth in the village. They are robbing the rich, and taking it away by themselves can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, without any psychological burden. And it can also kill the danger in the cradle.

After thinking about it, I decided I had to go there.

It’s just that the distance is a bit far, so we need a means of transportation.

The horse cannot be led away.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked through the shopping mall and found a mountain bike. This one is good. It runs faster than a horse.

The speed of a horse is about 18 kilometers per hour. With her strength, she can reach 40 kilometers per hour on a bicycle. It will take more than an hour to get to the village.

Mountain bike 3 points.

This is too expensive! The average mountain bike starts at 5000 yuan, and the good ones can cost tens of thousands.

But she still felt that the system was hacked.

Cross-border is really expensive!

I had more than 9 points left.

She gritted her teeth and bought the bicycle, and waited quietly in the carriage until late at night.
