Chapter 16 Anyang County
"Well, sister, little sister, after a while, my brother will go to the village and tell Uncle Zewu to borrow his donkey cart for use, and tomorrow we will take these dry firewood to the county to sell. Mu Zhijin put the dry firewood on his back into the house and said.
"Okay!" Mu Yunyi replied with a smile, there are just more than a hundred ginseng plants in his space, and he will secretly go to the pharmacy tomorrow to sell them for some silver, so he will not be worried this winter.
So for dinner, Mu Yunyi happily made white rice, a pot of gnocchi soup boiled with wild vegetables, and a plate of cold fungus.
When Mu Zhijin came back from Uncle Zewu's house, the three of them had a happy dinner and went to bed early.
The next day, the three of them got up, all of them looked a little excited, Mu Yunyi was excited because he had never been to this ancient county town since he crossed over, and Mu Zhijin and Mu Yunxi had never been to the county seat for many years, since their father and mother left and disappeared one after another, Mu Zhijin's three brothers and sisters fell to the bottom in an instant when they were in the seventh room of the Mu family, where is there still a chance to go to the county seat.
The three of them simply ate breakfast and carried the bundles of dry firewood out of the house, and when they were almost done, they saw Uncle Zewu coming slowly with a donkey cart.
"Uncle Zewu is early!" Mu Yunyi saw Uncle Zewu and happily stepped forward to greet him, after all, he was still lively and likable at his age.
"Yun Yi is also early!" Mu Zewu drove the donkey cart to Mu Zhijin's three siblings and stopped next to the dry firewood pile outside the house.
"Uncle Zewu, are you going to sell your prey?" Mu Yunyi lifted the basket on the donkey cart that was covered with a rag and glanced at the wolf skins of several hares and a wolf inside, so he asked curiously.
"Well, it's almost winter, and it's good to be able to sell it for some money for some rice. Mu Zewu was helping Mu Zhijin carry the dry firewood to the cart, and soon the originally small donkey cart was covered with a pile of dry firewood.
"Zhi Jin is good, this cart of dry firewood can be exchanged for a lot of copper coins!" Mu Zewu looked at the dry firewood on the donkey cart and said with a smile.
"My brother goes out early and returns late every day to collect firewood, and he will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of copper coins. Mu Yunyi smiled innocently.
"Okay, you all get in the car, we will buy things early in the county in a while, and Uncle Zewu will buy candy for you. Mu Zewu got into the donkey cart, and Mu Zhijin took Mu Yunxi and Mu Yunyi to the car.
"Let's go," Mu Zewu drove the donkey cart slowly, Mu Yunxi sat on the donkey cart staggeringly, this was the first time Mu Yunyi and his two generations had taken a donkey cart, and he felt very fresh.
The donkey cart is much slower than the ox cart and the horse-drawn cart, so it is necessary to set off early, and it is just past the hour when a few people drive the donkey cart to Anyang County.
Mu Yunyi looked around curiously, there is a big difference between the county town and the village, there are many houses, all of them are green bricks and blue tile yards, so I don't envy it.
Mu Zewu drove the donkey cart straight to the Anyang County market, the lively market was already full of people coming and going, the sound of selling, bargaining continued, Mu Zewu drove the donkey cart to a corner of the market and stopped, and then with Mu Zhijin, the three brothers and sisters first took down the dry firewood on the car and piled it on the ground, and then took down the basket containing the hare and wolf skin and opened it, which began to sell.
"Uncle Zewu, let's sell it here?" Mu Yunyi asked suspiciously, taking a look at the bazaar, then at a pile of dry firewood and a basket containing rabbit and wolf skins.
In ancient times, things were sold regardless of region?
"It's okay, it's just in time for the market today, so it's the same wherever you sell it. Mu Zewu said with a smile.
After listening to Mu Zewu's words, the three of them nodded, and the three of them were also selling things in the county for the first time, and they were half-grown children, so it was impossible not to be apprehensive, and it was always necessary to rest assured that the adults around them should be relieved.
Mu Yunyi is the youngest, and naturally still enjoys the smallest preferential treatment, so naturally he doesn't have to stand in front of the dry firewood pile to sell firewood, just sit leisurely on the donkey cart in the back and watch this ancient market full of people coming and going, and by the way, think about how he can go to the pharmacy to sell the more than 100 ginseng plants in the space bracelet for a while.
A pound of dry firewood costs two cents, a dead hare ranges from fifteen to twenty cents, a wolf skin is slightly more expensive than fifty to sixty cents, and a thousand wen is equal to one tael of silver, that is to say, the sum of the dry firewood and hares and wolf skins here is less than half a tael of silver, think about the rich boys in those TV series in the previous life, a meal is often a few taels of silver, and then think about the tuition fee of the private school in Mujia Village for a year is twenty taels of silver, Mu Yunyi can no longer see the hope of the future.
"Uncle Zewu, brother, sister, can I go shopping around?" Mu Yunyi jumped out of the donkey cart and walked to Mu Zhijin's side and said, "It's boring to stay here all the time, it's rare to come to the county once, I want to look around." ”
"No, you don't know the place here, what if you get lost or lost?" Mu Yunxi immediately objected.
"Sister won't, I'll just walk around here, and I'll be back in a while, sister, I'm so old, how can I get lost and walk away. Mu Yunyi was a little helpless, so she had to take Mu Yunxi's hand and do everything she could to be coquettish.
"That's not going to work," Mu Yunxi was resolute.
Mu Yunyi lamented, who called himself too young, but he was in his twenties in his heart, but he couldn't say no, so he had to look at his brother Mu Zhijin for help.
Mu Zhijin originally disagreed, but when he came into contact with Mu Yunyi's pitiful eyes, his heart softened.
"Sister, let the little sister go, as long as you don't go too far. Mu Zhijin said.
"Yes, Yun Xi, don't be too restrained by Yun Yi's girl, this Anyang County is still very safe, and it's okay to just walk around. Mu Zewu followed along with the helper.
Uncle Zewu is good, I know you are on my side. Mu Yunyi gave Mu Zewu a thumbs up in his heart.
"Okay then," Mu Yunxi saw that Mu Zhijin and Mu Zewu had agreed, and no matter how stiff he was, he nodded and agreed, but he repeatedly emphasized that he could only walk around the neighborhood and come back after shopping.
Mu Yunyi had to nod and agree, anyway, as long as he could go shopping alone.
Separated from Mu Zhijin, Mu Yunxi, Mu Zewu's sight, Mu Yunyi's heart immediately became active, he stopped and looked around along the way, and finally found a secluded place to hide in, and then entered the space, first put on the worn-out clothes that were changed at the patriarch's house, this dress has been changed by Mu Yunyi, and now it has become a beggar's clothes, Mu Yunyi opened the carbon ash and mud that he had put into the space in advance, and used the carbon ash mixed with the mud to wipe a layer on his face, neck and exposed arms and legs, and finally broke his hair and smeared it with carbon ash and mud。
Mu Yunyi looked at himself now through the reflection of the water in the pool in the space, and the whole thing was a black and dirty little beggar.
"The transformation is successful!" Mu Yunyi put the bag of more than 100 ginseng rags on his body, and his mind moved out of the space.
Mu Yunyi didn't feel heavy when he carried more than a hundred ginseng plants on his back, and walked along the street, looking up from time to time to see if there was a pharmacy.
Qing'an Pharmacy, Mu Yunyi looked up and finally saw a pharmacy, and looking at the façade, this pharmacy is not small.
