After this incident, Song Pan'er was no longer worried about her parents revealing family matters.

She is so confident!

The next morning, the group of people in front got up very early, and Song Pan'er was woken up by Qian Jinfeng when they were leaving.

They were dressed neatly and only had a small bag with them. The people in front of them thought they were visiting relatives and naturally did not dare to provoke them.

The family of three changed into new clothes, ate rice porridge and egg pancakes from the supermarket, and continued to follow the traces left by those people.

They don't know the route, so it's best for them to just follow others.

Sure enough, towards evening, they arrived at a county town.

This county town is called Ping County. It doesn't look very prosperous and the city walls are a bit dilapidated. The soldiers guarding the city are wearing tattered cloth armor and holding long spears in their hands.

The group in front were not allowed to enter the city and could only stay at the city gate, while a few young and strong men went into the city to do their shopping.

Song Dahe walked to the city gate with his wife and daughter, and was immediately stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

"What are you doing?" The soldier stared at the family of three arrogantly.

He was wearing new clothes and dressed neatly. He didn't carry any heavy bags, unlike the villagers outside who were fleeing famine.

Song Dahe bowed to the soldier and respectfully handed over his household registration. "Sir, my family is here to visit relatives in the county."

The soldier casually glanced at the household registration and paused, "Maoxian? Where's the travel permit?"

Song Dahe's expression remained unchanged as he held up another item, "This is the travel pass for my family."

Two taels of silver appeared before his eyes. The soldier took it without a word and casually threw the household registration into Song Dahe's hand. "Entry fee: ten coins per person."

Song Dahe nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course."

He took out thirty coins from his pocket and handed them to the soldier. After the soldier waved his hand to let the other two soldiers step back, he took Song Paner's hand and quickly walked into the city.

The group of refugees waiting outside, seeing the family of three enter the city so easily, became even more certain that they were "locals" visiting relatives in the city.

After entering the county town, Qian Jinfeng let out a long sigh, "Wow! That military officer was really scary!"

Thinking of the two taels of silver she had given away, she grimaced in pain.

Two taels out of 600 taels were gone in an instant. It was really a waste of money.

Song Pan'er guessed what her mother was thinking, and quickly mouthed the word "ginseng" to her, meaning that she still had ginseng and could exchange it for silver.

Qian Jinfeng smiled bitterly. They didn't have a pass, so if they wanted to enter the city again, they would have to pay with money.

It’s just the beginning now, and in the future, more and more silver will be needed.

Song Dahe tugged at her sleeve and lowered his voice, "Let's try to buy everything we need here, and avoid going into the city if possible."

He felt sorry for spending the two taels of silver, but he really couldn't not spend it.

Qian Jinfeng also understood what he meant and nodded, "Let's find a place to live first."

The family of three had never even been to Maoxian County. The farthest they had been was Ping'an Town. When they suddenly arrived in a county town that was bigger than Maoxian, they were a little at a loss for a moment.

Song Pan'er looked around and found a noodle stall not far ahead that hadn't closed yet. She pulled her parents' sleeves and pointed to the stall, "Mom and Dad, I want to eat noodles."

The couple immediately understood what she meant, and each of them took her hand and went to the noodle stall.

There are only two kinds of noodles, whistle noodles and Yangchun noodles. Shao noodles cost eight cents a bowl, and Yangchun noodles cost four cents.

Qian Jinfeng waved her hand and ordered three bowls of臊子面.

When it comes to food, she never treats herself badly.

Three bowls of whistle noodles were served. Song Pan'er was a little disappointed. The noodles were in clear soup and there were very few whistles.

She lost her appetite after eating a few chopsticks, which was really because she had become picky about food during this period.

Qian Jinfeng guessed what was going on and didn't force her. When she was done eating, she and Song Dahe shared the bowl of noodles that had barely been touched.

When paying the money, Song Dahe specifically asked the uncle at the noodle stall about the most cost-effective inn in the county.

They ate three bowls of whistle noodles, which made them considered big customers. Song Dahe also paid him two cents extra as a fee for getting information.

The uncle told us everything he knew and explained the general situation of the county.

Before it got completely dark, the family of three went to the "Laifu Inn" that the uncle mentioned and booked a ground-floor room for two nights for 400 Wen.

There was no need to keep watch tonight, and the family of three had a rare good night's sleep.

The next day, they did not go downstairs for breakfast, but had a quick meal in the room. Fortunately, they had plenty of food prepared in the supermarket.

After breakfast, the three of them left the inn, preparing to buy as many supplies as possible to put into Song Paner's "world in her sleeve".

In order to save money, I may not go to the city often.

The first place they went to was the grain store, and then they drove them out with the offer of corn at 800 wen per pound.

Then I went to look at coarse salt and snowflake salt, and found that coarse salt cost one penny of silver per catty, and snowflake salt cost one ounce.

After walking around for a long time, I still came back empty-handed.

Qian Jinfeng gritted her teeth in anger, "This isn't selling anything! This is clearly robbing people!"

Song Pan'er also thought it was expensive. When the price of grain in Ping'an Town was the most expensive, a pound of corn was only 200 wen.

You can't go out without buying anything, so Song Pan'er gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and dragged her parents to the garment store.

Fortunately, clothes, shoes and socks are not food, so their prices have fallen instead of rising. She persuaded her mother to buy several pieces of fine cotton cloth and six pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles at one time.

Although she wore the rubber shoes from the supermarket when she was traveling, they were not soft enough and she could not show them to others, so she had to buy cloth shoes.

Song Pan'er originally wanted to buy all the wearable cloth shoes in the shop, but her mother was reluctant to spend the money and insisted on buying the cloth and making them herself.

After buying the cloth, she went out and found an empty corner to put it in the supermarket. When she came out, Song Pan'er noticed the silver shop and pulled her mother in.

Qian Jinfeng's legs were weak, wow! She had never been to a jewelry store in her life!

When she turned her head again, she saw that Song Dahe was not much better than her. He was as stiff as a piece of wood.

But her daughter is more promising than them. Visiting a jewelry store is like visiting her own vegetable garden.

"Little Second Brother, my mother wants to see the silver hairpin. Could you please introduce it to us?"

Song Pan'er wanted to unlock "Xiao Zhong Jewelry" as soon as possible so that she could give her mother big gold and silver bracelets. However, it takes 100 points to unlock it, and it's still too early, so she can only buy it now.

The hairpin her mother is wearing now was made by her father using disposable chopsticks, and it looks weird.

The waiter didn't take her seriously at first as just a little girl, but when he saw the couple following her, he found that the three of them were wearing new clothes, and that the woman was indeed wearing a wooden hairpin on her head, so he quickly brought out a tray from the counter, on which were five or six silver hairpins of different styles.
