I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

The Lian family had property in the local area, and the guards at the city gates were familiar with the frame and did not make things difficult for them.

However, the Shen and Qi families, who have families with them, are very suspicious.

How can you visit relatives with the whole family?

After a lot of pestering, I actually decided to just drive them away.

"What's going on recently? Several waves of people have arrived." A guard muttered as he drove the Shen family and the Qi family away.

Shen Ying leaned against her father and whispered a few words. Shen Youtian bit his cheek, mustered up the courage to step forward, took out some silver and gave it to the guard at the city gate: "Actually, we just came to the city to rest. Our destination is not Yongcheng. We will leave early tomorrow morning. We will not cause any trouble to Yongcheng. I hope you can help us."

The guard weighed the weight in his hand.

The entrance fee is one cent, and a carriage with livestock is five cents. Suddenly, there are two more cents of silver, which is much better than just charging the entrance fee.

"Are you really leaving tomorrow? You won't stay in Yongcheng?"

"Yes, yes, we will leave early tomorrow morning."

Shen Ying added, if you don’t believe it, you can follow us to the inn later, and then you can ask tomorrow and find out whether we have left or not.

Only then did the guard let Qi Yanchuan pass. Qi Yanchuan followed behind the Shen family. No one from the Shen family stopped him. After all, they had no grudge against the Qi family, so they decided to come in together if they could.

After entering the door, there was indeed a guard following her. Shen Ying could only find a tea stall and ask which inn nearby was clean, spacious, and not expensive.

The old man at the tea stall laughed and said, "If you want a big and clean place, you have to be willing to spend money. If you want a cheap place, there are carriage houses where peddlers go. There are large bunk beds inside, and it only costs three to five cents a night."

This question seems to be a useless one.

Shen Ying sighed. The ancient times were indeed different from the modern times. There were clean and sanitary hotels everywhere, and even the cheap youth hostels were relatively clean.

"Then let's go to the inn." Shen Ying didn't want to sleep in a dirty place. She had to hang herself up to sleep when traveling before. How could she sleep on a large bunk bed that had been slept by countless traveling merchants? ?

That can't be done.

I found an inn that I liked, went in and asked, and it was a single room with only a bed, a table and chairs, and it cost three hundred coins.

The more luxurious ones are equipped with a wardrobe and a toilet, and there is someone to clean the toilet and bring water, which costs 700 wen.

Not to mention the top-level rooms.

Shen Ying asked for a more luxurious room because hot tea was available at any time and she could also ask for help feeding the donkey.

The rest of the people were reluctant to stay in a luxurious house and were still thinking about going to the carriage and horse trading company.

Seeing the cousins' faces, Shen Ying waved her hand and said, "I got a reward before, so I'll be generous this time. Don't even think about sleeping in a dormitory. I'll take the single room, two people per room."

As he spoke, he rushed to pay. The person who paid was the eldest brother. Although Shen's mother kept asking if Shen Ying was crazy after closing the door, as she had too much money, she lived in a pretty good room in the inn. When she heard the waiter calling "Madam, the water is here", "Madam, would you like to have dinner", Shen's mother had a smile on her face.

Don’t say it, if you spend money, you will enjoy it.

It's impressive!

Shen Ying took out a sheet from the package and covered the bed in the inn with it. Her mother scolded her for being picky again.

"Mom, this inn is a place where you can sleep for money. Who knows what the last guest or the previous guest did in the inn? What if some disease sticks directly to our skin? Would you be happy about that?"

Mother Shen had never stayed in an inn in her first half of her life, let alone thinking about things from this perspective.

Shen Ying said, "Besides, do you think the inn would clean up a room after each guest leaves? Look, you can tell without even smelling it that the bedding must smell of sweat and sourness! In the middle of summer, even if the person staying here is healthy, would you still want to lie down after absorbing the sweat of a stranger?"

Mother Shen was shaking all over. This, this, this description was too scary.

Forget it, just take some time to feel at ease.

So he dusted the floor, spread a mat, and then laid out his own bedding before he dared to lie down.

Shen Ying replaced the tea set on the table with her own bamboo cups, and took a copper kettle downstairs to fill a pot of water.

When Shen's mother went to other rooms to tell the Shen family about Shen Ying's tricks, Shen Ying replaced the water in the copper kettle with purified water.

For dinner, we ordered two tables of food, including three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, as well as enough dry food.

Compared to Shen Ying's "wealth and power", Qi Yanchuan and four others slept in the same room. He slept on a bench and had dry food and water for meals.

Only Qi Wang was better and was able to drink milk.

Shen Ying asked for a bucket of water, and after taking a bath, she asked her mother to call for another bucket. However, Shen's mother said that another bucket of water would cost another 20 cents, so she simply used Shen Ying's water to take a bath.

Shen Ying:...Okay, as long as you are happy.

"You are quite particular now." Mother Shen was lying with her daughter, and suddenly she thought of a possibility: "Could it be that the sturdy man you mentioned really exists? Whose family is he from?"

Only when you like someone will you change. I thought she liked Wen Xiucai before, but my daughter ate enough and was not as sensible as she is now. Could it be that there really is a strong guy who is the one she likes?

Shen Ying turned over: "Go to sleep, mom, there really is no such person."

The fatigue of two days and one night quickly swept over everyone, and they all fell into a sound sleep.

It was still daybreak when there was activity outside the window.

Shen Ying opened the window a little and looked outside. It was not too hot yet, and the temperature was still suitable. There were already vendors selling vegetables on the city roads below.

A little further away, there was a noodle stall. I didn’t know if they were selling noodles all night or if they had arrived earlier.

Shen Ying changed her clothes and let her mother tidy up the bedding in the room. She went downstairs. As the chef had not started work yet, Shen Ying ordered twenty servings of noodles, which were put in a big pot and sent to the inn. The old man at the noodle stall was so excited that he said he would send two more bowls of vegetarian noodles.

Afterwards, Shen Ying bought a water bag, a straw hat, comfortable walking shoes, and rags. If she had to continue walking so much, she would have to consider making a fake thousand-layer sole, which would look like ancient shoes but would actually be hiking boots.

As for livestock, now is definitely not the time to flee famine, and many people are still hoping for the rain to come, so there won't be too many people fleeing on the road. She wants to take this opportunity to buy another horse and a mule, preferably one animal for each family, so that she doesn't have to give way to others later, which would make everyone feel uncomfortable.

However, she had just hired an inn and paid for the livestock for other people, so she might not be too much of a rip-off. Therefore, she went to the horse market and found an agent to help her choose.

A strong and mature cow costs seven taels of silver.

A horse that is old enough to pull a cart costs nine taels of silver.

The donkey weighs three and a half taels.

A mule weighs two and a half taels.

One and a half ounces of sheep.

Shen Ying wanted a rickshaw puller, but the agent was very responsible and introduced everyone to her.

Shen Ying only had two taels of silver left in her own savings, including the twenty taels in total from the two rewards from the young lady. She also spent some money on accommodation and shopping just now, so she only had nineteen taels of silver in her hand.

"If I buy a horse and add a frame that can seat people and pull goods, is there a discount?"

The agent looked at her speechlessly: "No, the horse market sells livestock, and the accessories are not produced by them. But Miss, I can introduce you to a carpenter with good skills..."

"We are leaving today, please choose a sturdy frame for the vehicle." He stuffed a hundred bucks into the bag as a reward for his hard work.
