Traveling to ancient times? Break off the relationship first! Then divorce! Make a lot of money
Chapter 32 Dreaming of enjoying the cool under the grass
After arriving in town, the two went their separate ways.
Yuan Junyao first went to the only money shop in the town and took out a silver note to exchange for ten taels of silver.
He exchanged the ten taels for three taels of copper coins, a total of six strings of coins.
After leaving the bank, Yuan Junyao found the bun stall she had been to last time and ordered a meat bun, a bowl of wontons, and a cup of soy milk.
The boss already knew her. After all, it was rare for someone to buy dozens of buns at a time like she did.
So the food she ordered was served soon, and Yuan Junyao paid and started eating.
A bowl of wontons costs five cents, with thin skin and big fillings, made with real ingredients. She had too much buns and soy milk because she couldn't finish them.
After finishing the wontons, she was full.
The stall owner said enthusiastically, "Welcome to visit us next time."
Yuan Junyao took away the leftover buns and soy milk, thinking of putting them in the space so she could heat them up and eat them at noon.
After eating and drinking, it’s time to go shopping for ingredients.
Ever since she traveled through time to ancient times, she has been dealing with those top-notch people all the time and has no time to even make money.
If she hadn't happened to meet that man last time who took away the Dragon Strange Grass, she would still be penniless now!
This time she bought thirty kilograms of rice, five kilograms of fine noodles, and thirty eggs.
Rice was 75 wen per catty, a little over 2 taels in total; fine flour was 35 wen per catty, a little over 100 wen; eggs were 2 wen each, for a total of 60 wen.
No wonder poor people can’t afford to eat. It is indeed very expensive, and rice is more expensive than meat.
This is because the harvests in recent years have been poor, either due to drought or floods, and also due to years of war, so the price of rice in recent years is several times higher than in previous years.
After all, things are valuable because they are rare. In previous years when the harvest was good and the price of rice fell, there were times when it was twenty or thirty cents per pound.
When the African swine fever broke out a few years ago, the highest price of pork was one hundred coins per catty.
Apart from the impact of the harsh environment, rice production in ancient times was indeed very low.
Ordinary people rely on God for their livelihood when they farm.
However, Yuan Junyao has never farmed. Her main job is a secret agent. What she does most every day is to carry out missions, killing and setting fires.
In the past, when I was bored and killing time, I saw a lot of popular science videos, but I don’t remember much of them.
But she had only seen rice, and had seen rice growing in the fields. The golden rice fields were taller than people, and people could enjoy the coolness under the rice.
But how did the rice grow so tall? How did it become rice? She had no idea.
But she still understood some simple things, after all, she had visited museums before.
The data at that time showed that many years ago, probably before the 20th century, hundreds of years before the 23rd century, everyone was not able to eat enough, there were frequent famines, and people starved to death.
It was the appearance of one person who saved everyone and ensured that everyone had enough food to eat, because he developed hybrid rice.
His wish was to enjoy the shade of the wheat fields, and by the 23rd century, this wish had already been fulfilled.
People at that time were pursuing higher technology, and food and clothing were no longer a problem.
Unexpectedly, when she traveled to ancient times, she would have to worry about this problem again.
She now regretted it immensely. She wished she had known more about agricultural issues earlier. However, even in the 23rd century, people still liked to grow vegetables in their spare time.
Although many things have been replaced by robots.
She once thought that when she retired, she would buy a piece of land, build a wooden house, grow vegetables and flowers, and raise a dog. How comfortable her life would be.
But she came here before she even waited to retire.
Once she has resolved the divorce issue, moved out of her registered residence, and achieved financial freedom, she can consider fulfilling this wish.
Maybe because she is an agent, she is more aware of how important the legitimacy of her identity is.
Without a household registration and a travel permit, how can she venture into the bigger world?
Her identity cannot have any stain, because it will be noted on the household registration. Some people who have committed serious crimes cannot even leave their registered place of residence.
But as long as they get a divorce, it will be fine. So from today on, there will be no peace in the Zhang family!
This time Yuan Junyao also bought three pairs of shoes and four sets of clothes, but they were all stored in the space and cannot be worn now.
After finishing these things, she rented an ox cart and returned to the village.
But coincidentally, the person I met this time was Uncle Hu again. Uncle Hu had a lot more things in his car this time, but no one was riding in it.
It turned out that Uncle Hu's fourth son was getting married, and he came to the town specifically to buy things for the wedding banquet.
This time she learned that Uncle Hu's wife had passed away fifteen years ago, and he had raised five sons alone with great difficulty.
Now the five sons have grown up, each of them is very filial, and each of them is vying to take him to live with them.
Yuan Junyao asked doubtfully, "Aren't the parents still in the family?"
Uncle Hu said with a smile, "When a tree grows big, it branches out. When sons grow up, they need to separate. I have many sons. If we all lived under the same roof, I don't know how many conflicts there would be. People are complicated, and things are complicated. Teeth can bite tongues, so it's better to separate as soon as possible."
"Master, you are quite sensible!" Yuan Junyao asked again, "Are you not living with your son? Are you living alone?"
Yuan Junyao thought of her grandmother living alone in the cowshed. Like Grandpa Hu, her grandmother was a sensible person.
Uncle Hu said: "As long as I have a place to live, it's fine. I have a pigpen at home, but I haven't raised pigs for many years. I think it can be lived in after cleaning it up, but my sons are unwilling to do so.
Five people pooled some money and built me a house to live in.”
Uncle Hu's face was full of pride when he talked about his son. Yuan Junyao couldn't help but sigh. If the original owner had married into such a family, she would definitely not have been forced to commit suicide.
"Miss, are you engaged yet? Few young people can listen to an old man like me so patiently. I still have a young son who is still unmarried. He is twenty-six this year."
Yuan Junyao hurriedly said, "Master, I'm engaged. My husband's surname is Zhang."
Uncle Hu said with a look of regret: "That's such a pity. Your husband's family is so lucky. I can't be wrong about people. You are definitely a good girl."
"Uncle, I will be proud if you praise me like this." Who doesn't like to be praised? Yuan Junyao is no exception. However, it is indeed very happy to chat with the uncle.
"Haha, I like you, you are so graceful and generous..."
Before Mr. Hu could finish his words, four or five ferocious-looking men suddenly rushed out from the bushes by the roadside, holding machetes and with hideous faces.
"Robbery. If you want to live, leave your belongings behind and get out."
"Oh no, we encountered robbers."
Uncle Hu pulled the reins and the ox stopped. His old face turned pale and he quickly got off the ox cart, saying with an apologetic smile:
"If you gentlemen want these things, then these things are a gift to me. However, the oxcart is my livelihood, so I hope you gentlemen will be kind enough to give them to me."
