Chapter 66: Get a vest
Xue Wu didn't tell her about meeting Cai Ling before, after all, she didn't think it was a big deal, who knew that she didn't think it was a big deal, but Cai Ling was angry and revengeful.
Now that Xue Mu asked, she told the ins and outs of the matter.
Xue Mu couldn't help but look worried.
Xue Wu comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, I will be careful when I go to the county seat in the future." β
When the peppers in the vegetable garden were almost ripe, Xue felt that it was time to go to the county.
However, because Cai Ling is still thinking about finding her out to get revenge on her, Xue Wu naturally can't go to the county with her original appearance, and she doesn't plan to use her identity to find someone to sell chili peppers.
What if the buyer forgets his righteousness when the time comes? Their family has no power and power, and they are obviously in a weak position, and when the time comes, the peppers will not be sold, and they will put their own house in, so it is necessary to get a vest.
Isn't it just selling a chili pepper? It's true.
In modern times, chili peppers are just a common vegetable or spice, but in this era, people have not yet discovered their value. The spiciness, in the five flavors of "sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty", can only be reconciled by peppercorns, pepper, turmeric, dogwood and mustard.
And the pepper in it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
When pepper first came, the emperor used it to paint the walls, and this is where the pepper hall came from.
The concubines used pepper as a spice and used it to smoke clothes, but as for the common people, let alone using it, they didn't even know what pepper was.
Because of the scarcity of production, pepper became a luxury, and if any minister could be rewarded with some pepper by the emperor, it would be very favorable.
Even now, the use of pepper has been developed, and people know that it can be used as a seasoning and can be used in medicine to cure diseases, but the price is still high, comparable to gold.
Even pepper is more expensive than gold, and it can reconcile the authentic spicy chili pepper, and it is still watered by spiritual spring water, so why is the price lower than pepper?
Such an expensive chili pepper, she is the only one here, the so-called strange goods can live, but she is still too weak now, so she is guilty, so when selling chili peppers, she must not reveal her true identity, otherwise the buyer will check it, and their vegetable garden on the side of Shangyang Lake will definitely not be able to hide it.
The thorny fence on the other side of the vegetable garden can only prevent ordinary thieves, if the buyer finds out and breaks through directly and violently, can the peppers in that garden still be saved?
The chili pepper itself is nothing, and it can be planted again if it is gone, but it is very likely that others will get the chili pepper, and after understanding the huge value of the chili pepper, they will want to monopolize it, and their family will not be allowed to plant chili peppers again, and even suppress their family in various ways, which is the real disaster.
Early in the morning, Xue Wu drove the donkey cart out alone.
After leaving the village, she walked to a forest on the side of the road, and after some observation, she saw that there was no one in the four fields, so she took the car into the space.
She walked into the thatched hut, sat down behind the desk, and sat on the bronze mirror to observe the situation outside in real time.
Under her control, the Five Elements Bead flew forward, but because it was too small, no one noticed it.
As she approached the city gates, she put on her makeup.
After putting on her makeup, she looked like a young woman in her early twenties, with an ordinary appearance, no obvious features on her face, and she was not dazzling at all when thrown into the crowd.
Finding a no-man's land, she came out of the space, entered the city, and headed for the northern city.
This part of Beicheng is a gathering place for foreign population, with strong mobility and complex composition, and craftsmen from all walks of life also live here.
The atmosphere of the market is strong, and the not very wide alleys are full of stalls on both sides, making it quite difficult to walk.
Xue Wu stopped and walked all the way, seemingly wandering, but in fact she was looking for a shop.
A very inconspicuous pawnshop hidden in the corners - the world pawnshop, the faΓ§ade is narrow, and it is really not easy to find it among many shops and paving.
Why did she look for this pawnshop?
Because it is ostensibly a pawnshop, but in fact, it is doing some shady business behind the scenes, helping people sell stolen goods, making fake household registrations, selling news, etc., as long as the money is in place, there is nothing it can't do.
The reason why Xue Wu knew about this place was from Guan Yue.
Guan Yue, as the leader of the fast catch, will come here to buy some news many times when investigating cases.
To say that such a shop should not be seized by the government? As a member of the government, Guan Yue still has business dealings with this pawnshop in private?
You must know that many things in this world are not black and white, there is also gray, and in fact, the vast majority of existences are actually gray.
This is the case with this pawnshop.
The reason why it has always existed and has not been blocked by the government is not only because it can meet the needs of some people, but also because the real owner behind it has extraordinary energy, and has long taken care of all aspects of the relationship.
However, only a very small number of people can know about the private business of the pawnshop, that is, Guan Yue, who also knew about it by chance.
Xue Yu noticed it when she heard him talk about it at the time, and now she really uses it.
Eventually, she found the pawnshop in the middle of an alley.
The pawnshop was only a small one, five or six square meters, and there was nothing except a counter that was tall enough to be a man.
Xue Wu knew that this was just what it looked like on the surface, and there was a lot going on inside.
She walked in and shouted, "What about people? Where did it go? I have something to do. β
A sleepy-eyed old man came out from behind the counter, and he was estimated to be sleeping behind the counter just now, and he yawned a long time, "What should you be?" β
"Be an heirloom baby."
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Xue Wu, "What baby?" β
"A treasure that is hard to find in the sky and on the ground."
Okay, the code is right, the old man opened a secret door on the side, and Xue Wu walked in.
About half an hour later, Xue Wu walked out of it with an extra household registration on her body.
The household registration is not forged, but it really exists, but the person on the household registration is no longer there for some reason - missing or dead, but because of the lag of the news, the government did not eliminate the household registration in time, so this gives the pawnshop a lot of room to operate.
The household registration that Xue Wu got was the household registration of a good prostitute named "Zhao Xiaoxian", and later Zhao Xiaoxian died of illness, and the household registration fell into the hands of the pawnshop.
On the side of the government, Zhao Xiaoxian does exist, Xue Wu got her share of the household association, bought a house, bought land, did business, etc., and was also recognized by the law.
With this household link, she can use the vest of "Zhao Xiaoxian" to do many things in the future.
Of course, this vest is not cheap, it cost her a full three hundred taels.
But it's all worth it.
