Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

The toffee was so angry that its hair exploded. Mice are most afraid of snakes and cats.

The giant python was originally quietly coiled on the tree, but when its eyes locked on Naitang, its huge body slowly squirmed, climbed down from the tree, and swam towards Naitang.

Naitang was so scared that he hid in Zhao Qiaoniang's backpack.

Zhao Qiaoniang's heart also tightened, but she quickly calmed down.

She held the knife tightly in her hand. Since she was a child, she had heard the elders in the village say that when killing a snake, you must hit it at the most vulnerable part.

The python was approaching step by step. Zhao Qiaoniang took a deep breath, and when the python was very close, she suddenly swung the knife in her hand.

With a "puff" sound, the knife landed precisely on the python's seven inches.

The python's body trembled violently, and its unwilling eyes stared at Zhao Qiaoniang. Its huge body gradually lost its strength, slowly collapsed to the ground, and finally died motionless.

Mulan, who was standing aside, had already turned pale with fright, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

She slumped down on the ground, gasping for breath, her eyes filled with fear. "Oh my God! This python is so big! I've never seen such a big python before."

Zhao Qiaoniang was so frightened that her whole body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

But soon, she pulled herself together and said:

"Let's pack up and go quickly!

I don't know if this python is worth much, but let's take it with us!"

Cui Ya kicked the python and said, "It's really dead! How scary! Woo woo woo... I will never go into such a deep forest again."

Zhao Qiaoniang picked up some nearby leaves, wrapped up the python, and threw it into her backpack. She said, "Let's go to town and see if anyone wants one."

Toffee was already leading the way, and from time to time he would ask some mice for directions, and soon he brought them to the town.

Now many shops in the town have closed down, leaving only three large restaurants, two cloth shops, a grocery store, and two drug stores...

As soon as Naitang arrived in the town, no one knew where he went. Zhao Qiaoniang was standing by the road waiting for him.

After a long while, Naitang finally came out and took them to the restaurant they had been to yesterday.

Zhao Qiaoniang knocked on the door in the backyard just like she did yesterday. The guy from yesterday came over to open the door. Seeing them, he was filled with surprise and said, "Hey! Why are you here again?"

Zhao Qiaoniang said a little embarrassedly, "Brother, we were lucky today when we went into the mountains and got some game. Would you like to take it?"

"You came at the perfect time. Our shopkeeper was just muttering that some distinguished guests had come from Bianjing and they were short of a few dishes, and then you came.

"Let me see what game you hunted?" The man looked at their backpacks.

As soon as he opened the backpack, he was shocked: "Wow! Where did you get this snake? It's so big, it scared me to death."

"I'm really sorry... This is what we just got in the mountains. If you don't want it, forget it." Zhao Qiaoniang quickly apologized.

"Yes, why not? I can make some snake soup with it, it will taste pretty good.

"Can you please take out any other goodies?" The man looked at the other people's backpacks.

Soon they saw a dozen hares and two pheasants. The man smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. What do you want to trade for today? Not all for food, are you?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "We want to exchange one bag of fine grain, two bags of salt, and one bag of sugar, and the rest for silver."

The clerk calculated for a long time, looked at her and said:

“Then I can give you 500 wen, as prices are rising sharply now.

I advise you to take another bag of fine grains, in case you want to exchange for grain later, you might not be able to do so."

"Okay, then let's exchange it for two bags of fine grain." Zhao Qiaoniang made the final decision.

Finally, the waiter brought them two bags of fine grain, two small bags of coarse salt, and a bag of sugar and said, "I'll give you another 100 coins! This is the highest price I can give you."

"Thank you, young man..." Zhao Qiaoniang hurriedly thanked him.

They put the fine grains into their backpacks and planned to go for a walk on the street. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the shoes on their feet and sighed.

None of the three people's shoes were in good condition, and two of Zhao Qiaoniang's toes were sticking out from the toes of her shoes.

Cui Ya's shoes were even more terrible, the soles were almost worn out.

Mulan's coarse cloth shoes were also worn out, and the edges of the shoes were worn rough.

"Let's go to the cloth shop and buy a pair of shoes first. We need a pair of shoes that fit us well so we can walk long distances," said Zhao Qiaoniang.

Toffee next to them squeaked a few times and took them to a cloth shop.

As soon as you enter the door, what catches your eye is the dazzling array of fabrics with various colors intertwined together.

Cui Ya's eyes lit up instantly. She stared blankly at the room full of cloth and murmured, "Oh my God! There are so many cloths here!"

The guy was startled by the sudden sound and quickly raised his head and rubbed his eyes.

Seeing Zhao Qiaoniang and others, he quickly reacted and asked enthusiastically:

"My guests want to buy some cloth. The cloth from our Ruyi Cloth Shop is quite good.

Are you all refugees?"

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded slightly, looked at the waiter shyly and said, "Young man, can you help us get a few pairs of shoes?"

The waiter was kind and didn't look down on them at all. He immediately took them to the side and introduced them:

"These are the cloth shoes in our store. They are all made by master craftsmen. They are made of many layers and are very strong. They will not get damaged no matter how much you wear them.

And here, this kind of cloth shoes has some cotton added, which makes them more comfortable to wear in winter.

Take a look, which pair do you want?"

The cheapest cloth shoes cost 25 coins. Cui Ya pulled Zhao Qiao Niang and said, "Sister, don't buy them..."

Zhao Qiaoniang clapped her hands and said, "Hey, I need six pairs of adult shoes and four pairs of children's shoes. Can you give me a discount?"

"Oh? Okay, let me do the math! It's 250 wen in total. I can give you a 5 wen discount on each pair of the children's shoes, so I'll give you 230 wen. How about that?"

"Okay..." Zhao Qiaoniang took out 230 coins and asked softly, "How much is the coarse cloth here per foot? How much is it per foot? And how much is the cotton?"

When the waiter heard Zhao Qiaoniang's question, he replied with a smile:

"Sir, our coarse cloth costs ten coins a foot. Although it is not as gorgeous as those silks, it is strong and durable. In this famine era, it is also a very affordable choice.

As for cotton! I bought this bag for 200 wen. During this famine, cotton is hard to come by, so the price is naturally a bit higher."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at a bag of cotton wrapped in coarse cloth and said, "Give me 30 feet of cloth, another 2 feet of cotton cloth, and another bag of cotton."

"Okay!" The guy was very efficient and quickly packed up what they wanted.

The few hundred copper coins I got from the bandits last time were all used up. Just when I was about to go back, I ran into Wang Qiuju and her gang again...
