Jiang Shang smiled slightly: "Although the land area of Caiyun Country is not large, the soil is very fertile, and it is close to the He family, so it is inadvertently protected by it, and it is generally not involved in the war. The lord of Caiyun is a hobby, and the attitude of the Chinese people towards outsiders is also the most friendly, which is a rare and good place! ”

Xiaoguo nodded and said, "That's it!" Father, let's leave tomorrow! ”

Jiang Shang saw that she looked unhurried, and said with a smile: "Caiyun Country is on the other side of the world, millions of miles away from our location, to say the least, it will take a year and a half to travel, don't rush this moment!" ”

"So far?" Xiaoguo smacked his tongue.

Jiang Shang nodded: "Besides, it's not a way to sit and eat empty!" Our father and daughter should think of a way to earn some money for travel and food, and hurry up! ”

Xiaoguo praised: "He is worthy of being a father-in-law, and he is thoughtful!" Although the money bank has saved some money, when it is time to spend it, it is better to find a long-term way to save money, which is the best policy! ”

The father and daughter, after dinner and discussion until midnight, decided to take advantage of the advantage of traveling from south to north to south, so that they could collect some local small goods at a low price and sell them elsewhere.

The next day, Xiaoguo and his father-in-law went to the streets to collect novel local gadgets.

On the lively and peaceful street, there was a sudden commotion.

A man in a blue shirt, with wind under his feet, ran desperately forward.

He was so busy running that he didn't realize that he had knocked over countless stalls along the way, and the "banging" sound behind him was incessant, and the hawkers couldn't help but curse angrily.

However, before they could curse twice, they saw several men dressed in the clothes of officers and soldiers, riding horses and chasing after them.

The hawkers hurriedly picked up the shelves, hid to the side of the road, swallowed the insults in their mouths, and looked at the pedestrian with palpitations.

Let's say that the man in Tsing Yi was caught by the person behind him, the more anxious he was, the more he just wanted to run faster, but the more he made a mess, and he was not careful, he tripped over a raised stone slab and fell straight towards a stall.

only heard a "bang", the shelves were smashed by him, and others also crawled on the ground for a long time without getting up.

The pursuers had arrived, and the man in Tsing Yi was tied hand and foot, picked up his horse, and left the alley.

The vendor who smashed the shelves dared not speak out, and it was only when the group of people disappeared that he spat a few times and shouted "bad luck"!

Telling his son to clean up and scatter the goods all over the ground, he sighed and walked in the direction of home, so that he could only go home and get a new pair of shelves.

A black ring rolled down to Xiaoguo's feet, she picked it up and looked at it, there was a strange stone tablet-like thing carved on it, although the appearance was strange, but the workmanship was very fine, the ring seemed to have been played with by countless people, and the edges and corners were smoothed out.

It can't be an antique, right?

Xiaoguo held the ring and said to the young man who was picking up the goods on the ground, "Little boss, how much is this ring?" ”

The young man raised his head and looked at the ring, today's school is closed, and his mother, who usually goes out with his father, was infected with the wind cold and fell ill, so he had to come out to help take care of one or two.

This is the first time he has gone out with his father, and he doesn't know the price of the goods, but he rarely meets a buyer, and if he doesn't take the business, his father should scold him when he comes back.

"Five copper plates!" The boy said without thinking.

Xiaoguo put the ring in his arms and took out a piece of broken silver: "Okay, I want it!" It's three taels of silver, I'll pick a few more things! ”

Three taels of silver is enough to buy this stall.

The young man hurriedly put all the goods in a row, so that Xiaoguo could choose them slowly, and he took out the book in his arms and read it.

Xiaoguo also picked a few straw gadgets and some bamboo storage baskets.

Seeing Jiang Shang walk out from the shop next to him.

Xiaoguo hurriedly stood up: "Father-in-law, but it's settled?" ”

Jiang Shang took out the large package he was carrying in his hand, and said with a smile: "The store promised to sell it to us at a price of thirty percent!" ”

Xiaoguo adored: "True, real people don't show their faces!" Unexpectedly, you are a master of negotiation, father-in-law! ”

Jiang Shang smiled silently.

Xiao Guo happily turned to the young man and said, "I just need these." ”

The young man put down the book in his hand, looked at the goods that Xiaoguo put at his feet, and roughly set a price for each goods in his heart!

Then, with a frown, he crossed his fingers and calculated how much more money he should find for his guests.

When I finally sorted it out, I looked up and found that the other party was already talking and laughing with my companion, and I was far away!

"Childe, looking for your money!" He shouted at Xiaoguo's back.

Xiaoguo turned back to him and smiled brightly: "Don't look for it, you can keep it and buy a book to read!" ”

The young man held the broken silver tightly and watched her figure disappear into the sea of people.

After a while, his dad came back with a new pair of shelves on his shoulders.

The boy hurriedly took the book and the broken silver into his bosom, and helped to put the goods on the wooden shelf.

Father and son had just packed up.

I saw seven or eight officers and soldiers dressed in the clothes of the government officers coming from afar.

They didn't ride horses this time, and each of them looked around, asking the people on the side of the road about something.

Gradually, the group of officers and soldiers came to the booth of the father and son.

"That's where the man was captured!" One said to his companions.

"Hey, seller! Have you ever seen a black ring around here? A short officer and soldier asked the father and son in disgusting anger.

"Back to the official, we haven't seen each other!" The young man's father hurriedly replied with a smiling face.

Ring? The young man was shocked, it couldn't be the one he sold before, right?

Seeing the anxious faces of the officers and soldiers, he opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, he heard another officer and soldier scolding.

"That kid, maybe it's just a disguise, the ring isn't with him at all! Otherwise, how can you refuse to hand it over until you die? ”

I never thought that the man in the green shirt was already dead because of that ring! If I tell them that I have sold the ring, and that it is a trivial matter to lose my own life, it would be a great sin to involve the kind-hearted boy who gave me money to buy books!

In an instant, a hundred thoughts crossed the young man's mind, and he made up his mind to rot the matter in his stomach and never mention it to anyone again.

I heard the officers and soldiers talk in a low voice.

"No, I really don't know what kind of treasure that ring is, and it's worth our trouble! Could it be that it is impossible to pass on the country's precepts! ”

Several people laughed under their breath.

"Are you tired of living? Don't talk nonsense! When that person hears us chewing on the root of our tongue in private, how many ways do we have to live? The other hurriedly stopped their conversation and shouted.

The others hurriedly silenced themselves, and as if they were demonstrating together, they glared at the father and son closest to them.

The boy pursed his mouth even tighter, and it was not until he saw them return in vain that he let go of his clenched trembling hands.

At that time, Xiaoguo, who was unaware of being involved in a secret matter, was happily pulling his father-in-law and went straight to the vegetable market.

"Get some fresh food and celebrate our victory!" She said with a stirring voice.

They inquired with the innkeeper that the most famous thing in the town is the cutting of window flowers, and the paper-cutting here can be ranked in the world, and many traders come to the town for this craft!

The paper-cut occupies a small area, which is not only easy to carry, but also as long as the package is tight, there is no need to worry about being broken and broken on the way.

Therefore, Xiaoguo and Jiang Shang came to the largest paper-cutting shop, and successfully purchased some finished products at a low price!

Xiaoguo bought a piece of beef, carried it in his hand, and selected a few seasonal vegetables.

When I passed by the stall selling pork, I was surprised to find that the owner was haphazardly piling pigs' heads, feet, tails, and offal.

She wondered, "Boss, if it weren't for these parts, wouldn't you plan to sell them?" ”

The owner of the meat stall was stunned at first, and then smiled: "Who will buy these miscellaneous parts?" Don't you know that the pork we usually eat is only the part of the pig's body? ”

Xiaoguo glanced at the other butcher's shop, and saw that the butcher guy had just grabbed these parts and threw them into the snakeskin bag that had been discarded on the ground.

It turns out that people here don't know that these parts of the pig's body can also be cooked into food!

Xiaoguo bought all the discarded parts of several nearby butcher shops at a low price, and there were too many things, so he had to temporarily rent a carriage and stuff everything into it.

Seeing that the "waste" could also be sold, without Xiaoguo opening his mouth, the butcher shop owner earnestly ordered the men to remove their hair and clean them.

Xiaoguo and the others set off the next day because of their determination, and on the way back to the inn, they bought some dry goods and flour one after another, and stopped and stopped, and when they returned to the inn, it was already dark.

The small kitchen of the inn has long been rented by Xiaoguo.

As the night wore on, the lights had long since gone out in the big kitchen, but the lights were still bright in the small kitchen.

Jiang Shang stuffed the firewood into the stove and watched Xiaoguo in the kitchen, turning around and busy.

Pig's head, pig's feet and other things have been in the pot, stewed with the ingredients, with the extension of time, there is a faint smell of meat, wafting out of the pot.

When Xiaoguo touched it for a while, she opened the lid of the pot, and a strong aroma spread in the kitchen, she forked the meat pieces a few times with chopsticks, and said, "Okay!" Father-in-law, there is no need to add more firewood! ”

Jiang Shang leaned over and saw that the pork offal in the pot had turned into an attractive red color.

Xiaoguo cut a piece of pig's head meat, picked it up with chopsticks, and handed it to his mouth: "Father-in-law, how about it taste?" ”

Jiang Shang bites into his mouth, the meat is cooked very thoroughly, and the taste of the ingredients is completely integrated into the meat, making people feel that the mouth is fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless!

He sighed: "I never thought that these miscellaneous parts that were discarded in the past could be delicious!" ”

Xiaoguo said with a smile: "This braised meat, just out of the pot, it will inevitably be too soft, and when it cools, the taste will be better!" You wash the handles and nibble on a pig's trotter to taste! ”

The weather has cooled down, and the shelf life of some foods has been greatly extended.

Xiaoguo made some other sauced beef, and planned to take it to the car to eat after leaving the next day.

At the moment, the father and daughter had a full meal, and there was still a lot of braised meat left.

Jiang Shang suggested that he save some of the braised pork for the road to eat, and sell the rest to other travelers at the inn.

Xiaoguo naturally has no objection.
