I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.
Chapter 47 Trip to Fucheng
"You're quite clever, kid." The leader weighed the silver coins and smiled at Jiang Qinyu. "If you have any questions, ask!"
"Thank you, sir. I'd like to ask you which inn in the city has the cheapest prices. Where can we sell the wild goat meat and hides we brought? And where can we buy things like food and cloth? Also..."
Jiang Qinyu didn't hold back at all and asked everything she wanted to know. She had paid him, so of course she had to ask for his full return.
The leader's question made him laugh out loud, and he pointed at him with a mixture of laughter and tears, "You kid... Come on, come on, who asked you to treat our brothers to tea? I'll find someone to answer you. Ji Xiaoqi, you go tell this little brother!"
Ji Xiaoqi was a native of Yukang Prefecture City. He was born and raised here and was very familiar with the city. He also saw Jiang Qinyu stuffing some silver coins into their boss's pocket just now, so his reply was particularly detailed.
Jiang Qinyu smiled apologetically and flattered the soldiers guarding the gate. She praised them so much that they had no choice but to close the city gate before she led Meng Tianze and the others in.
As soon as he left the sight of that group of people, Chen Shao and Liu Yazi looked at him with admiration.
Chen Shaoxing's eyes widened. "Mrs. Lu, why did you think of asking the gatekeeper for information?"
"Yes, yes. We were just worrying about who to ask. We didn't expect that you, Mrs. Lu, would solve the problem as soon as you arrived." Liuyazi nodded in agreement.
Jiang Qinyu understood their feelings very well. After all, in this era, "the people should not fight against the officials". It even reached the point where the people would retreat away when they saw officials.
Her action was purely subconscious and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"It's just asking for directions, it's nothing," Jiang Qinyu said with a smile, "It's getting late, let's go to the place that Ji Xiaoqi mentioned to stay overnight!"
Just now, Ji Xiaoqi told them about a small inn close to the city gate that was cheap and clean. Jiang Qinyu planned to check in there tonight. If the place was not good, she would move on to another one tomorrow.
The group drove the carriage towards the inn, and they couldn't help looking around along the way.
Dingshui Village is too far away from Yukang Prefecture. All the people who came this time had never been there before. The older ones were fine, but people like Chen Shao and Liu Yazi were not very stable and their eyes were full of curiosity.
"The streets in the capital are so wide! Five carriages can run side by side!"
"It's the shops along this street that look so neat and impressive."
"There are many more that we don't have in our county!"
"The capital city is so nice..."
Jiang Qinyu was also very curious about what the big cities in ancient times were like, but when she first entered the city, she took a quick look and found that apart from its ancient style, it did not arouse her interest.
Whether it is roads or pavements, they cannot be compared with modern streets, especially since Ngoc Kang Province is the most remote provincial capital of Dai Viet and urban construction is not standardized.
Just like the road under their feet, Jiang Qinyu had previously thought that it would be paved with bluestone slabs, but the section entering the city was paved with fine gravel, which was not very comfortable to walk on. It could only ensure that they would not get their feet muddy on rainy days.
After walking for about quarter of an hour, Jiang Qinyu and the others finally arrived at their destination.
The sign of "Kangyue Inn" looked a bit old, and the words on it were not very clear. Fortunately, it was not dark yet, otherwise Jiang Qinyu and the others might not be able to find it.
"Oh my, please come in, gentlemen!" The waiter was originally wiping the table with a rag, bored. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Qinyu and her group. "Sir, are you going to stop by for a meal or stay the night?"
The waiter's eyes sparkled. At this hour, he realized it was a stay at the hotel after a quick thought!
Looking at the number of people, it’s a big business!
Jiang Qinyu and Meng Tianze stepped forward and politely asked about the price. Chen Shao and the others behind them gasped after hearing what the waiter said.
"Ten cents a night for a low-class room?"
In Yongshan County, a strong laborer only earns fifteen cents a day. Who would be willing to spend ten cents to stay here for one night?
"Hey, bro, do you have a large bunk bed here? The cheapest kind." Meng Tianze asked with an apologetic smile.
What's rare is that the waiter didn't get angry when he heard this. Instead, he replied with a smile on his face, "Sir, our store does have a large bunk bed, but there are only eight seats left tonight. Two cents per person. Please..."
There were seventeen of them. If only eight could sleep in a shared bunk bed, the remaining nine would have to rent a room. Jiang Qinyu would definitely need a separate room, so they would have to rent at least three rooms, which would cost a total of forty-six cents a night!
Those who were good at calculating immediately thought of it, and then everyone except Jiang Qinyu looked at each other in confusion.
Do they live in this store or not?
"How about this," Meng Tianze finally spoke up, "Let's park the carriage in the backyard of the inn and get two rooms. Five people will sleep in the carriage, seven people will sleep on the bunk bed, and the remaining four people will stay in one room. My sister-in-law will have a room to herself."
This way, it only costs thirty-four cents a night, which can save you about ten cents.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shao looked at the waiter and asked, "Young man, can we park the carriage in the backyard and live in it?"
The waiter's expression changed, and he felt a little embarrassed. "Sir, it's not that I don't want to, but... if you don't book a room with us, we can't let you park your carriage in the backyard!"
The most important thing is that there are so many of them and there are five carriages. If they are all parked in the backyard, all the space will be taken up by them, and the shopkeeper may not be happy about it.
Seeing this, Jiang Qinyu quickly asked, "Little Brother, how about this? We book a room with six bunk beds, and then buy some dry food from you guys?"
Without waiting for the waiter to refuse, Jiang Qinyu thought for a moment and said, "We're here to sell some game. If your store needs it, we can give you a discount."
"Are you here to sell game?" The waiter's eyes lit up. "What kind of food do you have?"
When Jiang Qinyu heard that there was a chance, she quickly said to Chen Shao, "Ah Shao, go get the things and show them to the second brother."
"Alright!" Chen Shao quickly ran out to get something from the carriage and came back a moment later. "Look, little brother! These are the wild goats, wild boars, tigers, and wolves we hunted in the mountains!"
After the work point system was established, since the calculation started from the day of going up the mountain, all the things brought back from the mountain became public property. Jiang Qinyu did not make a fuss with the village because she really did not contribute much.
However, there was too little hyena meat, so Village Chief Li kept it in the village as a snack for everyone and did not sell it.
"They even have tigers and wolves?" The waiter looked at the processed meat and couldn't recognize it. He quickly said, "I'll ask the shopkeeper to take a look!"
After saying that, he went to call someone.
A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed neatly and respectably came out from the back and hurried over to Jiang Qinyu and the others. "Do you have tiger meat? Where are the tiger bones?"
Jiang Qinyu was slightly stunned. He specifically asked about tiger bones. Does it have any other meaning?
