Aunt Fu: "Sanhe County next door is the salt capital, which produces well salt, so there are many merchants passing by in the surrounding counties. In the mountainous area, the waterway is more convenient than the mountain road, so many merchants carry a large amount of goods by waterway, and there is a small wharf outside the town of Lianghekou, which is just convenient for businessmen to go ashore to rest and replenish supplies. ”

Ye Qing finally had a general understanding of the place he was currently in.

The ox cart swayed all the way, and it was also thanks to the fact that the ox cart had no carriage, just a flat ox cart, otherwise Ye Qing would have been shaken so much that he would have vomited.

After more than an hour, we finally arrived at the town of Lianghekou.

The streets are bustling.

Many of the people who rushed to the market either carried baskets on their backs or carried burdens.

Small vendors shout and solicit business on both sides of the road, and it looks very lively.

"Ye Qing, you haven't been to the town, you don't know the prices in the town very well, you still follow our two aunts, lest those traders coax you and sell you at a high price."

"Thank you, two aunts." Ye Qing couldn't help but thank him quickly, and followed the two aunts to the blacksmith shop to buy farm tools.

The noisy streets are bustling with people.

Ye Qing ...... Ye Qing, you stop for the old lady......"

Ye Qing felt as if someone was shouting her name behind her, and she paused, and subconsciously looked back.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Liu asked.

"I just heard what looks like someone was calling me." Ye Qing said honestly.

The three of them stood still and looked back for a moment, but there was no one in sight.

congested streets.

The people who rushed to the market behind Ye Qing and the others were suddenly unhappy, and the vendors in the stalls on the side were not happy either.

"I mean, what's the matter with the three of you? What are you doing standing here? If you don't buy something, let it go. ”

"That's it, you stand in front of my stall and don't buy my things, are you sincere to find fault?"

Ye Qing and the three apologized again and again, and then left.

Chen Erniu and her eldest daughter-in-law Han finally squeezed to the stall where they had just seen Ye Qing, and found that Ye Qing had long since disappeared, so they stomped their feet angrily.

"This damn scourge, damn scourge, how can it run so fast? In the blink of an eye, he slipped away. Chen cursed in a low voice with a dark face.

Han's eyes rolled: "Mother, could it be that the sister-in-law saw us, and deliberately pretended not to see it, right?" ”

As soon as I heard this.

Chen's face became more and more gloomy.

These two people are none other than the original owner Ye Qing's mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Chen: "Hurry up, the two of us will go separately to find her, and we must find the Calamity before she leaves the town." ”

Han nodded vigorously: "Yes, mother." ”

……

Ye Qing bought a hoe, sickle, and machete in the blacksmith shop, and these three things alone cost Ye Qing two yuan, that is, two taels of silver.

This price was only taken after Aunt Fu and Aunt Liu took turns to help her bargain.

"The price of these ironworks is really expensive." Ye Qing was holding three iron tools in his hand, frowning and complaining.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Fu nodded.

"Isn't it, the coolies on the dock only earn thirty dollars a day, and a hoe requires consistent money, and a strong man has to work for thirty-four days to buy a hoe."

"But even if it's expensive, we, the farmers who face the loess with our backs to the sky, still have to buy it!"

Ye Qing often exhaled.

No wonder in this era, the common people don't even have an iron pot at home.

The price of this iron is simply too expensive......
