The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

The village road from Shanglin Village to Dayi Town is uneven.

The oxcart was swaying.

Lin Xiaoman felt that her butt was not a butt and her legs were not legs.

Change your posture from time to time.

The ox cart was packed with people. In order to protect the rabbit from being discovered, Lin Dajiang and Lin Xiaoman squeezed Lin Jingzhe into a corner.

Whenever Lin Xiaoman moved, Lin Jingzhe suffered.

"Xiao Man, are you bored?"

Lin Jingzhe held the backpack, his head swaying with his body.

"Shanglin Village and Xialin Village next door are the two poorest villages in Dayi Town. I heard that girls from other villages are unwilling to marry into these two villages."

"Brother, don't worry, our family will get better and better, and we will definitely let you find a wife."

"People are as big as little devils."

Lin Xiaoman brushed away the hand on her head and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by little brat? We can't even tell who is older and who is younger between us!"

"Who made me so lucky that I jumped out of my mother's belly first!" Lin Jingzhe laughed and lowered his voice.

"Brother, is the town fun?"

“Are there many food sellers?”

"Is there a restaurant?"

Lin Jingzhe looked disgusted, thinking that his younger sister asked too many questions.

"Of course it's fun in town. The roads are all paved with cobblestones, so your shoes won't get dirty even on rainy days. There are a lot of food to eat in town, such as meat buns, candied haws, and..."

Lin Xiaoman was curious: "What else?"

"......" Lin Jingzhe couldn't explain, he had never eaten it, "There are also various shortbreads and malt sugar."

Lin Xiaoman teased him with a smile: "Are the shortbreads delicious?"

"Of course, what in town is not delicious?" Lin Jingzhe followed Li Erli to sell pheasants.

In the town, a meat bun cost two copper coins, and a vegetable bun cost one copper coin. Not to mention him, even Brother Li was reluctant to buy them.

I bought it twice occasionally, and Aunt Li kept nagging me about it for several days.

This time, he planned to sell the wild rabbit to Shopkeeper Tong.

After all, I'm familiar with the place.

"What about the restaurant?"

Lin Xiaoman did not expose him and continued to inquire about the news.

"There are two. One is Yingkelai, which has two floors and the prices of dishes are shockingly high. The other is Ruyilou, which is smaller than Yingkelai and the prices of dishes...are not cheap either." Lin Jingzhe explained clearly.

"In the past, Brother Li sold all the pheasants and rabbits he caught to Manager Tong of Ruyi Tower. I went there with him a few times."

"How much is a rabbit worth?"

Lin Jingzhe: "There are big ones and small ones. The big ones can be sold for a hundred coins, and the small ones can be sold for sixty or seventy coins. The rabbits we brought this time are bigger than the ones that Brother Li caught before."

Lin Xiaoman thought it was not bad. A big rabbit was sold for one hundred coins, and ten big rabbits were worth one string of coins, or one tael of silver.

Rabbits give birth to rabbits, and rabbits have a strong reproductive ability.

No wonder most hunters in ancient times had no worries about food and clothing.

When they arrived at Dayi Town, Lin Dajiang paid the three cents travel fee with a painful heart.

All the money has been paid, but the eyes are still on it.

Lin Xiaoman was in a good mood. His father and mother really looked like a couple. Their eyes when they were staring at each other for money were exactly the same.

Lin Jingzhe led them through many twists and turns.

He avoided the sight behind him and said in a low voice, "Let's go to Ruyi Tower."

It was not yet time for dinner and there were no customers at Ruyi Tower. The waiter was going back and forth wiping the tables and chairs.

Lin Jingzhe entered from the side door. When the second brother saw that someone he knew had come, he called out the shopkeeper Tong without thinking.

Shopkeeper Tong looked up, still fiddling with his abacus, and said, "Hey, you and the Li kid haven't been here for a long time. What wild animals did you bring today?"

"Wild rabbits." Lin Jingzhe put down the backpack, pulled open the cloth, revealing two energetic gray rabbits.

Shopkeeper Lin strode forward and took a look.

He stroked his stubbled beard cheerfully, "It's bigger than before, not bad. Any more?"

Lin Jingzhe shook his head: "No more, only two. I'll have to wait for the next time. It depends on God's will when I can catch them."

Shopkeeper Lin was worried about the lack of game. The boss came to inspect the store these two days, but there was no game that caught his eye.

With rabbit meat, you can make a stir-fried rabbit dish.

"Today's rabbits are not small, so I'll give you 120 coins for one, and 240 coins for two."

Lin Jingzhe was a little excited, and even Lin Xiaoman thought that the rabbit was valuable.

After collecting the money and handing over the rabbits, the shopkeeper repeatedly reminded me not to keep the good stuff next time and to continue delivering it, and that the price would definitely be fair.

Lin Xiaoman was very happy. When she followed Lin Dajiang slowly to the grain shop and saw the prices of the food, she was shocked.

Brown rice costs five cents per pound.

Thick noodles cost ten cents a pound.

Fine flour costs thirty-five cents per pound.

White rice costs twenty-fifty cents per pound.

Wow, each one is more expensive than the other.

The two hundred and forty coins I just got can’t even buy ten kilograms of rice?

Lin Xiaoman's face was filled with black lines, and she took back what she had just said about thinking wild rabbits were very valuable.

Making money is urgent.

Lin Xiaoman watched as Lin Dajiang bought two kilograms of white rice with a painful look on his face, and also bought ten kilograms of coarse noodles and twenty kilograms of brown rice.

After leaving the grain store, Lin Dajiang went to the grocery store to buy salt.

Lin Xiaoman tugged at Lin Jingzhe's clothes, "Brother, has the food always been so expensive?"

When I read novels before, I felt that it was easy for the heroine to make money, and she could easily earn four or five taels of silver a day.

Five taels of silver is equal to five strings of coins, which is five thousand copper coins.

She would have to sell more than forty rabbits to make that much.

Oh my God!

Lin Xiaoman was hit.

"Isn't grain priced this high? It's still cheap now. In years with bad harvests, you can't even buy rice for 100 coins per pound."

"And salt, the same price."

Lin Jingzhe thought his younger sister was frightened. It was his first time to come to the town with her and he was also frightened by the price of grain.

Lin Dajiang saw the two children whispering to each other, looking at the oil, then the salt, and occasionally glancing at the sauce and vinegar not far away.

He couldn't help but think of what Xiaoman had said before.

The long-bearded worms taste better when dipped in sauce and vinegar.

It seems that the two children want to buy sauce.

Lin Dajiang hardened his heart and spent fifty copper coins to buy a little bit of sauce and vinegar.

After walking out of the store, he touched Lin Xiaoman's forehead and said, "Xiaoman, don't be jealous. We can also eat sauces and vinegar when we go home."

"Thank you, Dad."

Lin Xiaoman found the dishes cooked by Li Taohua tasted bland and urgently needed other condiments to stimulate her taste buds.

She silently noted down the prices of pepper and Sichuan pepper, tears already streaming down her face.

Not to mention, these pepper and Sichuan peppercorns were not something she could afford at all. They were ridiculously expensive.

At the price of eighty wen per two taels, she couldn't even buy a few pounds even if she sold it.
