Chapter 68: I Can't Afford to Pay
The first four horsemen opened the way, two carriages in the middle, and more than a dozen servants followed.
The battle is not small.
The city gate guard Xu also knew these people, raised his hand and pulled the refugees around him aside, bowed and smiled to welcome them into the city.
The leader dismounted from his horse, and with only a slight nod to the guard, the group entered the city.
Yan Lingxi dragged the people around him, and they blended into the team of servants behind him, and followed them closely.
They weren't dressed very well or badly, just like the minions, and they didn't look conspicuous at all. The guards came to greet the nobleman's carriage, and she was really mixed up.
When they had entered the city, they were about to go their separate ways, when the young servant in front of them turned back and gave them a stern look.
Xu was discovered.
Yan Lingxi smiled, didn't panic, and stuffed a handful of sesame candy into someone like a trick: "More big brother to save money for us poor people!" β
The man didn't eat her, and his voice was cold: "Who are you?" Is there a way? β
"Naturally, we are fleeing, going into the city to sell something for food."
Yan Lingxi couldn't figure out where this family came from, so he only showed him the way, but he didn't hand it over to him, and four plus one did the same.
The man didn't care, he looked at the guide carefully, was satisfied, and comforted them with two words: "Since it is a farmer's family, then go, these guards are indeed a little black-hearted." β
Yan Lingxi thanked him, and the two sides left.
Ouyang Si inhaled the aroma emanating from the restaurant on the street and asked, "Lingxi, who was that just now?" Do we have a way to guide them to something? β
Yan Lingxi was also a little moved when he saw the food, and said absentmindedly: "We came in in the team, what if it is a villain, wouldn't they want to get a splash of water in vain?" I think that even his subordinates are awe-inspiring, not ordinary people. β
Ouyang San nodded: "Yes, maybe it's a military attachΓ©." β
As they spoke, they had already passed through the neighborhood full of food to the most lively street market.
Yan Lingxi left the foursome here to set up a stall, while he and Brother Xuan brought some high-quality jewelry and fabrics to the shop to sell.
These things she sells have always been in demand, because they are not available locally, and what she sells is slightly cheaper than the goods from the source, so there is nothing that she can't sell.
This time it was also smooth, and I was negotiating the price with the shopkeeper, and a gorgeous beauty came in the jewelry shop.
She was dressed in red clothes and gold belts, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, with deep outlines, bright and heroic.
Looking at the hairstyle, she is still a young lady who has not come out of the cabinet, and she is eighteen or nineteen years old.
"That's good."
As soon as the young lady entered the door, she saw the jewelry that Yan Lingxi wanted to sell, and directly ordered it and said yes.
"Boss Qian, is this your new product? It's hard for you, there are still such good things in this year. β
She seemed to be quite familiar with the shopkeeper, laughing and chatting.
The shopkeeper is a little uncomfortable at this time, he has not confiscated the goods, how can he negotiate the price in front of the customer?
There was no way, he could only admit the price Yan Lingxi had just offered, and while waving to the account room, he greeted the patron with a smiling face.
Yan Lingxi is cola, this is like a god of wealth, and he will attract wealth to himself.
While she was waiting for the account room to settle the bill, she listened to the shopkeeper say: "The second lady is here, yes, our Fuying Building naturally wants to give the best things to the customer!" β
The second lady nodded: "What is the price of that set of gemstone heads, as well as the seven-star hairpin and the gold arm?" β
The shopkeeper didn't reply, as if he was silently stretching out his hand to compare prices, not wanting Yan Lingxi to hear it.
The second young lady snorted and said, "It's all for you." β
Yan Lingxi went out after settling the account here, and the second lady knew that she was the one who sent the good goods, so she was happy, so she smiled and nodded, Yan Lingxi also smiled back and went out.
At this time, it was not long after noon, and the team in the village was going to spend the night at the gate of the city, and there was still plenty of time.
Yan Lingxi took Brother Xuan'er to look for Li Ping and them, and after selling out the goods on the stall together, they went directly to an inn to rest.
As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait for Xiao Er to ask for hot water.
It's been a few days, and she can only scrub it every day, and she wants to take a good shower.
Xiao Er was quite embarrassed, and squirmed: "Girl, there is a shortage of water in our area now, if you want hot water, you have to charge separately, you see?" β
"How much?"
"Bathing in a bucket for a penny."
Yan Lingxi simply shook her head when she heard this, the hot water in her mall was much cheaper than this, and she turned to say: "Forget the hot water, you can send me four or five of your signature dishes here in half an hour, and the other two rooms will also send one set each." β
"Alright!" Xiao Er saw that Yan Lingxi was generous, and he was happy, and he couldn't think of anything about hot water or not.
The six of them rested in the city for half a day and a night, and returned to the team the next morning at the appointed time.
It seems that the people of the village have gained a lot in this half day, and seeing that today's breakfast is much harder than usual, enough for half a meal.
Although this city is good, everyone can't stay longer, and they must set off. This time, there were no officials in the city to pit them, and it was impossible for them to pay the gate tax of Narauszi, so they could only walk around the city.
It took nearly three days for them to return to the official road.
As soon as I entered the official road, I saw that there were more people in the same company, and those who had small business took out the goods and planned to open them, at this time, finally some people couldn't help it.
"Aunt Xu, why did your yellow cake cost so much oil? Is it tasty? Chen Ju leaned over to Xu Lanhua and asked.
Xu Lanhua just casually chatted, and replied casually: "It's delicious, although it's hard, it's fragrant." This fried one is finalized, and the second oil is better preserved, you see my yellow cake is fried in big oil, and the fragrance is wafting out, how good! β
As she spoke, she scooped half a spoonful of lard into the pot and sniffed it intoxicatingly.
Under the small pot is a small pottery stove that she bought with the money she earned, this stove does not take up space, and when the road is flat, it can be fired on the car, and the warm small fire is just right for pancakes.
The white lard slowly melts in the pot, and there is no need to put the grain into it, and the aroma of the oil alone is enough to gluttony.
Chen Ju also took a deep breath of this fragrance, and slowly sniffed it as if nothing happened, and after a while, she smiled softly: "It's good, if only I could have a deal." β
Xu Lanhua was busy: "You ask Lingxi, that child has a good mind and knows a lot of things, she must have a good way!" β
Chen Ju sighed, looking euphemistic: "Aunt Xu, are you really so optimistic about this child?" I, I still don't dare, you said that she is so young, and the idea she says may not necessarily make a profit, right? My family is too poor to afford it. β
