I set off very early, but excluding the time delayed on the road, this ancient hour is two hours of waiting in modern times.

They had been walking for nearly an hour and a half, and it was estimated that it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning modern time.

That's it, I still borrowed the light of Renjia Village's proximity to the town.

It is conceivable that other villages far away have to work hard to sell things in the town, and it is not enough to toss if they don't save a few baskets of eggs.

No car, no tricks.

So at this time in this time, the town is already very lively.

Cattle leaders, horsemen, wheelbarrows, firewood pickers, all kinds of shouts and shouts are endless.

After asking for directions, I knew that if I wanted to go to the market, I had to cross the old bridge not far away.

Song Fuling raised her eyes and looked: I'll go, the people and livestock carts on the small arch bridge shuttle back and forth, the bridge is not too wide, I didn't expect that the traffic jam in later generations can be seen here, and I have to line up and move forward in turn.

Walking all the way to the arch bridge, Song Fuling and Song Fusheng looked fresh all the way.

Song Fuling saw her father put his hands in the sleeves of the padded jacket, and she also put them in the sleeves to warm his hands.

The boys were even more dazzled while pushing the cart.

They are mainly for food.

Since noon last day, I haven't eaten much, and I've been working. I've been hungry for a long time.

There are those who sell baked cakes, and there are noodle soup stalls.

As soon as the hot buns came out of the cage, the drawer cloth was lifted, and the heat emitted from the bun cage could be seen far away.

Da Lang shouted to the head of the high-speed railway, don't look at it, it's our turn to get on the bridge, after speaking, his throat also moved, and saliva couldn't help but gush out.

Song Fusheng glanced back at these boys, and he led his daughter down from the bridge again: "You go over first, wait for me under the bridge." ”

The two of them went straight to the food stalls they had just passed.

Song Fusheng bought two meat buns for his daughter first.

To be honest, the noodles are not white, the buns are not so chubby, and the filling is not very sufficient, but, "Why can it be so delicious, how can it be so delicious." ”

Song Fuling exclaimed in surprise when she ate, her eyes were full of happiness, and she took a bite of half of it.

After walking for a few hours, the hot buns are much stronger than the Gangrong steamed cake.

hurriedly stuffed buns into Song Fusheng's mouth again.

Song Fusheng hid to the side and said, I don't want it, you eat quickly, I'll give your brother and them to buy baked cakes.

"No, no, no, Dad, you have to eat one, let's buy two."

Song Fusheng glanced at his daughter, gritted his teeth, and said to the steamed bun seller, "Bring me two more." "He is also greedy, life in the world, eating and drinking, nothing but death.

Song Fuling nodded again and again: "Dad, really, what is hot is better than cold." ”

Song Fusheng also ate two big buns.

Song Fuling also reminded beside her: "Buy buns, don't use public money, take out your own pocket." ”

"Your father and I are like that."

"Actually, if you are a civil servant, well, yes, you are not a good one."

A stinky girl, no big or small.

Song Fusheng couldn't hold back a smile as he went to buy oil baked cakes for his eldest nephew.

The boys were divided into two baked cakes to cushion their hunger.

"What are you buying this for, your third uncle is too good for them, just buy a steamed bun." The high butcher said distressedly.

"Eat, it's been a long time since I've seen oil."

"Didn't you eat chicken at the white shopkeeper?" After the high butcher finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the mushroom stubble, and he was even more distressed.

But I have to say that there are no women here, and the men will not be very verbose anymore. If you buy it, you will buy it, and you will eat it when you buy it, and you will not turn it over and over again.

……

"Sell pine nuts, newly laid pine nuts, authentic mountain goods, eighty wen a catty!" After Song Fusheng stood up, he began to sell.

The location of the stall is not very good, and it is relatively late to come back, and I have to shout a few voices from time to time.

The cow shopkeeper went to buy a scale, that thing can't be saved, and sooner or later it has to be useful. So he didn't listen to his child's uncle's clamour.

But the high butcher was there, and his heart immediately soured when he heard it.

This is a common thing in modern times, but it is not very decent in the eyes of ancient people.

Merchants are already looked down upon, let alone petty traders like them.

At present, in order to make a living, Fusheng, an intellectual, is being looked down upon by others.

The high butcher raised his eyebrows, suppressed his sadness, and scolded the stupid boy: "Are you stupid, look at your third uncle." If you have anything to shout that you can't open your mouth, shout it to me! ”

"No, Dad," Gao Tietou scratched his head: "What's the matter?" ”

Song Fusheng only glanced at the head of the high-speed rail and left, he had to take his daughter to buy food, the shouting just now was a sample.

The high butcher scolded his son: "Are you stupid, you can't ask for more bargaining room for buying goods?" Are you my son? ”

"Sell pine nuts!"

This thing is expensive, and people who rush to the market also have this understanding. After all, they have many mountains here, and they know about them.

The mountain goods are not easy to come by, and they are all people who play with their lives, dodging the beasts and climbing up the trees.

But no matter how loud you shout, you know that this thing will be expensive, and when people who pass back and forth ask, they can't help but smack their tongues after listening to the price.

We ordinary people, if we have the money to buy a pound of pine nuts, it is better to buy a few pounds of pork and eat it at home.

goods, not selling well.

……

On the street, people come and go.

Song Fusheng took his daughter to several grain shops and asked the price one by one.

In this dynasty, one stone is more than 120 catties.

After asking, I have a number in my heart, and because I have a number, my heart is slightly sunk.

To buy ordinary rice, one tael of silver is exactly one stone, more than 120 catties.

Song Fuling calculated in her heart that if she used the calculation of RMB, one pound of rice would be equal to more than eight yuan.

And she specially asked her father before, and after Song Fusheng listened to her algorithm, he recognized it in combination with ancient memories, but it was different in some aspects. For example, when you see a doctor, you have a reason with them picking pine nuts, and it is also troublesome to collect medicines, which is expensive, and the poor cannot afford to be sick, so they cannot be compared with modern times.

What about brown rice, how much money is brown rice?

The shopkeeper pulls the abacus, and one or two pieces of silver can buy 220 catties of brown rice.

Song Fuling used her algorithm again: more than four yuan a catty. It's cheaper than the grain store at the corner of the street in front.

Flour, fine flour.

The shopkeeper took a look at the clothes of Song Fusheng and Song Fuling, and listened to these two people talk very neatly, but you are dressed like this, you are poor at first glance, and you still ask about fine noodles and rice. Forget it, just ask.

Fine noodles cost more than one or two pieces of silver and one stone, and you can buy 140 catties of noodles.

Song Fuling: RMB 7 to buy more than a catty. It's better to buy flour than rice to eat.

Xiao Er didn't wait to ask again, and hurriedly told the price of coarse grains, he thought that it was more likely that these two people would buy coarse grains, so they talked more.

Persuade you to buy coarse grains, the price is the most fair, one or two silver can buy more than two stones, about 260 catties, more suitable than buying brown rice.

Isn't there a war going on in the south right now? Prices are also rising here. Every year in December, that is, the next month, the price of grain rises even more, and it will continue to rise until the beginning of spring. Do you want to buy more? Just take advantage of this time.

Song Fusheng said, I want to buy more, can you give it cheaper.

How much to buy.

Buy 3,000 catties first.

Xiao Er was shocked: "You don't have any land?" "How many people have no land to plant and wait for food, and they have to buy thousands of catties at once.

Xiao Er called the shopkeeper.

All of a sudden, I had to buy all the coarse grains and brown rice in the shop, and the shopkeeper gave it cheaper, but it wasn't much cheaper.

It's the same as the second child, if you have a large population, you need to save grain, and buy it as soon as possible. Every year, we are not allowed to fight in the south, and we are fighting while we are cold, so every year in December, the price of grain soars. If you bargain again, I won't sell you, I'll keep it for next month.

Song Fusheng and his daughter glanced at each other, and there was no trick, "Shopkeeper, we are also coming back to the town to sell mountain goods, there are not too many empty carts at the moment, let a few babies push away a few hundred catties first, can you put the rest in your store, and after this excitement, we will also sell the mountain goods almost away, so we will come to pick up the goods." ”

The shopkeeper is indispensable.

He wasn't afraid that Song Fusheng wouldn't buy it after the order, it didn't matter.

Song Fusheng hurriedly went back and called Da Lang and them, first push a few hundred catties back, and push as much as he could.

Song Fuling stayed, and left it in her heart: No wonder her father is on fire, not only because he has to spend his brains on management, but also because he drives everyone to make money together, just in terms of eating, so many people, even if they don't eat valuables such as oil and salt, they only eat those brown rice and coarse grains that cover the tide at a glance, and they get 25 taels of silver.

But can a man not eat oil and salt? Here, salt is said to be expensive. Therefore, the most basic living expenses have to be spent at least about thirty taels of silver every month.

Also, the shopkeeper talked to Xiao Er about the price increase, and she felt that they should not be lying. Because she went to other grain stores with her father just now, not only was the asking price higher than here, but she was not very enthusiastic and didn't like to deal with it.

If the price of food really starts to rise in the winter, they will have to buy it this month. It's November now, and at least you have to buy it until the end of February, and you need to prepare at least one hundred and twenty or thirty taels of silver to buy food every day.
