Entering Pingji Town, Wu Xingzhou first took the three of them to the ready-to-wear store, Wu Qiuzhi and Wu Xingzhou slashed the price with a cute and a picky one, and finally spent 500 yuan to exchange for four coarse cloth summer clothes, and the guys exchanged the silver ingots for three ten taels and three five taels, and the remaining four taels scattered silver and 500 wen. It was only after talking with the men that I learned that they were at least three or four days away from Baiwang Mountain, and it should have been while they were 'asleep', Wu Chunxi's master took them to the ruined temple outside Pingji Town in a carriage.

Wu Nuandong stretched out his little hand and stuffed the money into his arms (in the jade mansion), and gave the broken silver to the three brothers with a smile in case of emergency.

The children of the martial arts family are not the kind of children who spend money willfully, Wu Nuandong is very relieved, the reason why he put away the money is that he is worried about meeting three hands such as thieves, this is the living expenses of the four of them before they reunite with the adults, if they are lost, the four children can only make a living by performing arts.

Pingji Town is a big town, and there are countless local and foreign merchants who come and go. There is a mix of Han and ethnic minorities here, and many of them dress completely differently from the north. Wu Xingzhou and Wu Xia Zhi were dumbfounded, if it weren't for Wu Qiuzhi staring at the two of them all the time, the four of them would have been separated long ago. It was Wu Xingzhou who regained his senses first, exercised his brother's responsibility, grabbed the wrist of Wu Xia Zhi, who stopped walking from time to time, and held Wu Nuandong with the other hand, so as not to get lost. Wu Qiuzhi has always been worry-free, and he didn't need to be reminded that he had already held a warm hand, lest someone strange Shu Huang would abduct the little sister away.

"Nuan Nuan, are you hungry?" Walking through the lively restaurants and restaurants, Wu Xingzhou touched the broken silver on his chest and asked Wu Nuandong.

"Hungry!" Wu Nuandong is okay, the stomachs of the three elder brothers have long been gurgling, the boy consumes a lot and is hungry quickly, but no one wants to spend money to eat outside, so he refuses to speak.

"Brother will take you to eat delicious noodles!" Saying that, Wu Xingzhou took his younger siblings to an inconspicuous small stall, on the stall was a middle-aged couple, one made noodles and the other greeted the business as the second child, although the stall was small and clean.

"Little baby, what are you going to eat?" The eldest lady who was kneading the dough raised her eyes and saw that there were four young babies, and greeted them warmly.

"Three bowls of clear noodle soup and one bowl of clear soup." Wu Xingzhou took out two pieces of coarse grain buns from his baggage, broke them in half, and divided them among the four people.

"It's coming!" The old man first served two bowls of clear soup and brought them up, "Are you thirsty?" Clear soup doesn't cost money, drink it! ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Wu Xingzhou raised his head and smiled, then broke his bun into pieces and put it in a bowl of soup. At this time, the three bowls of noodles were also ready, and Wu Xingzhou put them in front of his younger brothers and sisters and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, it'll be cold and it will be cold." ”

Wu Qiuzhi frowned and didn't move his chopsticks, Wu Xiazhi said unhappily: "Brother Xingzhou, we have enough money, if you don't eat, I won't eat, Nuan Nuan you and Qiu Zhi will eat." ”

"You know!" Wu Xingzhou knocked on Wu Xia Zhi's head with a fist, and drank it with a clear soup.

"Second uncle beats you, you beat me! I'll sue when I see my second uncle! Wu Xia Zhi pursed his lips, stirring the clear soup noodles, feeling very uncomfortable and didn't know how to express it.

"Brother Xingzhou, I can't eat it." Wu Nuandong said as he picked the noodles into another clear soup bowl, Wu Qiuzhi rubbed the top of Nuan Nuan's head, and then picked out a lot of noodles, and then helped the little sister tear the bun into her bowl.

Wu Xia Zhi's eyes lit up, and he pretended to pick out a lot of noodles in the bowl, "Brother Xingzhou, you are a rice bucket for me!" Where to eat so much! ”

The three of them each gave some, and a bowl of clear soup became a sharp clear soup noodle, Wu Xingzhou's heart was hot, and he had a heart to save money. After all, no one can say when they will be able to reunite with the adults, and it will cost money to eat and stay in the future.

Without prevarication, Wu Xingzhou took the bowl of noodles and swallowed it. Since it was the heart of his younger siblings, he was unwilling to refuse and let them worry.

This small stall is not shabby, but the taste is very authentic, the soup is fragrant, the thin gluten is chewy, and the stall owner gives a lot of portions, not because they are children. Wu Nuandong didn't like to eat noodles, so he ate more than half a bowl of steamed buns, and pushed the rest to Wu Xia Zhi.

Wu Xia Zhi ate the most among the children, and he lost a little bit to Wu Xingzhou, and he also knew the amount of food Nuan Nuan, and he cleaned the rest of Nuan Nuan, so it was natural to take it over and eat it to his heart's content.

When it was time to settle the bill, the middle-aged couple felt that the four little baby brothers were good children, and they liked it very much, so they charged 50 wen for two bowls of noodles.

Wu Nuandong sold a set of porcelain, and learned that the couple was a native of Pingji Town, surnamed Chen, because most of the guests were local regulars and had a lot of exchanges, so they were very familiar with the things in the nearby villages. Wu Nuandong inquired about the situation in the surrounding villages while the iron was hot, and with the current situation of the Wu family, he must have chosen to return to the field to farm, and knowing more about the situation can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.

There are indeed many ethnic groups here, and the Han villages are mostly in the east and north of Pingji Town, and the ethnic minorities rarely accept foreigners into the village. Also because of the particularity of the coastal area, Pingji Town is quite a lively town, and there are occasional yellow-haired merchants from the Western Regions. The four of them left a message at the post station, and followed the advice of Uncle Chen, a noodle stall, and decided to look for a place to stay in the east of Pingji Town tomorrow.

While it was still early, they went to the market where cattle were traded, and the people inside saw that the four children were more or less reluctant to take customers, but it was convenient for Wu Xingzhou to choose better quality livestock.

Originally, Wu Tianchong always took his son with him when he bought donkeys and cows, and also taught them how to distinguish between good and bad animals. Don't look at Wu Xingzhou, who is usually very naughty, and when he encounters important things, he still carries it clearly, and he can be regarded as half a family.

It was the first time for Wu Nuandong to visit this kind of market, and his eyes were red when he was choked by the pungent smell of wildness.

"Nuan Nuan, don't come close, some animals kick people." Wu Qiuzhi whispered, took Wu Nuandong's hand and obediently followed behind the two elder brothers.

"Nuan Nuan is tired of talking, let's take a look!" Wu Xingzhou patted Wu Nuandong's head like a little adult, and specially told Wu Xia Zhi and Wu Qiuzhi a few secrets for selecting livestock.

"It's not good for the stubborn, it's not good for the old, it's not good for the small, it's not good for the thin, it's not good for the bad teeth...... It's so hard! Wu Xia Zhi's eyes burst into circles when he listened, and Wu Qiuzhi smiled gently.

In the end, after two or three turns, Wu Xingzhou carefully chose a little donkey who was two months away from the adult, spent six taels, took an old flatbed car, and spent 500 wen to do a red deed (the contract is divided into white deed and red deed, the white deed is a private agreement contract that does not need to pay the official deed tax, and the red deed is officially certified and needs to pay a certain fee).

After completing the formalities, the time was not early, the four of them came to the small inn inquired about the noodle stall Uncle Chen and asked for a room for a night, and the dinner was ten big buns bought by Wu Xingzhou, and the rest was just reserved for breakfast. Now there are 42 taels of silver left and 600 Wen, and in addition to buying a donkey cart in one day, it took 900 Wen, which is equivalent to ten days of food money for the whole family.

The top priority is to find a place to stay and not spend money in vain.

Early the next morning, the four of them got up and cleaned up, filled the warm water (space water) of the inn with Wu Nuandong, brought coarse grain buns, and drove to start the journey to find the village.
