Chapter 13 Procurement in the City

It was only when he was still three hundred meters away from the city gate that he was stopped by soldiers stationed outside the city.

Zhou Li stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and then came back to tell the others.

Zhou Li said: "The soldiers at the gate of the city said, saying that martial law is now on, and they want to enter the city to buy things, and each person will pay five taels of silver to enter the city, and at most let us stay here for an hour, and after an hour, everyone must leave, otherwise they will come to drive us in person." ”

The crowd exploded.

Five taels of silver, not many of them have it.

And they don't know how much grain they can buy for five taels of silver, and even if they have it, they can't bear it.

"Forget it, I won't go in, I don't have that much money."

"I've got some food with me, so I'll talk about it when I'm done."

"Pick some wild vegetables on the way and eat them."

"But we adults can stand it, but children can't."

……

Yang Ruolan looked at her daughter, she knew that her daughter had ten taels of silver on her, and she didn't know if she would go in.

Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows, it seems that King Yong really doesn't care about the life and death of the people, and the entrance fee of five taels of silver can really be said.

Seeing that some people were embarrassed to go in, she raised her hand and said, "How about everyone listen to my proposal?" ”

She now has thirty taels of silver on her, and ten taels on the surface, and she must go in to buy food.

If she went in alone and bought food and came out, she would definitely be targeted, so it was better to let everyone go in together.

Zhou Li said: "Ah Shan, what can you do?" ”

Nangong Anshan said: "Now there is not much food in everyone's hands, it is better to do this, if you are reluctant to give five taels of silver at a time, you can make money together with five or ten families, let one person go in, and bring out the things that everyone needs." If you have a board car, lend the board car to that person to use, so that everyone can save a lot of money. ”

Taylor Boy said: "Help people to give advice, the merit value is increased by one, the total merit is three, and the Holy Spirit Water is added by one drop." ”

Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows, she just said casually, she didn't expect that this would also add merit.

The person who heard it nodded in agreement, which is indeed more economical.

If five families pool money, that one household needs to contribute one or two pieces of silver.

Ten families pooled their money, and that one family only needed to pay 500 copper plates.

If there are more people, you spend less.

Zhou Li said: "I think this method is feasible, everyone can discuss it by themselves." ”

……

Yang Ruolan saw her daughter return to her side and asked, "Ah Shan, do you want to go in?" ”

"Well, you and the third brother are weak, and the younger siblings are still young, and now there is still a long way to go from the fiefdom of King Li, so we still have to eat better."

"Then listen to you."

Nangong Anshan doesn't plan to partner with others, so that she can buy a little more things and be more free, after all, she still has things in the space.

She also went to ask the second uncle's family if she needed to bring something out, and heard them say that their food was enough, so she didn't force them.

After Cao Zhenya waited for Nangong Anshan to come back, she said very embarrassedly: "Ah Shan, Aunt Cao has five hundred copper plates here, can I ask you to help bring some things out?" Just buy the worst rice, as long as ten catties. But don't worry, I won't let you help in vain, after you go in, I will desperately guard your family. ”

Nangong Anshan took the money and said with a smile: "Aunt Cao, you're welcome, then it's okay, my family will ask you during this period, if anyone has the intention of bullying them, you have to tell me, and I will ask their family members." ”

"Okay."

Nangong Anshan said a few words to her family, and when she saw that someone had already entered the city, she asked her family to get down from the cart, hugged Yang Ruolan down, and pushed the cart and planned to go in alone.

There are soldiers everywhere here, and I believe that the Qiu clan will not make any big noise.

It's just that Qiu Shi saw that Nangong Anshan was going to go in, and immediately came to her.

Nangong Anshan said: "Something? ”

Qiu said: "You want to go in?" That's just right, bring five ...... to your cousins Ten sets of clothes come out, and ten pairs of shoes, and I'll give you money when you come back. ”

Nangong Anshan glanced at her, "Do you see the three words of injustice written on my face?" You will give me money, and the sun will come out of the west in a moment. By the way, after I leave, Aunt Cao will help me keep an eye on it, after I leave, if you dare to bully my family, I will come back and clean up your daughter and granddaughter, if you don't believe it, you can try. ”

After saying that, she ignored Qiu and walked to the city gate with a cart.

Qiu stomped her feet in anger and had to return to her family.

Dai Yingying said hopefully: "Grandma, how is it?" Did she say yes? ”

Qiu said: "That dead girl doesn't listen to grandma, but don't worry, the entrance fee for the next city will definitely be cheaper, and grandma will buy it for you in person when the time comes." ”

Dai Yingying looked at A-Niang aggrievedly when she heard this.

Nangong Miao said: "Good, I'll go and see the shoes of your brothers and sisters, and let them change with you." ”

It's just that she went around, and other people's shoes were not worn well by Dai Yingying at this time, so she had to give up the idea of grabbing shoes.

Dai Yingying suddenly thought of something and said a few words in Qiu's ear.

Qiu shook his head: "Not for the time being, the dead girl told me just now, if I dare to trouble her family, she will clean you and your sisters, she can do what she says, do you still want to put a dagger on your neck?" ”

Dai Yingying's neck shrank, and she had to stop drumming.

……

After Nangong Anshan entered the city, she didn't go to the grain store for the time being, but walked to the ready-to-wear store not far away.

According to her memory, it was the fifth day of the third month, and the weather was still a little cold, and they came out in a hurry, and they didn't even bring a change of clothes, so she had to go in and buy two sets of clothes for each of them, and two pairs of shoes each.

Now I have to walk too much every day, which is really shoe-consuming.

When she left the ready-to-wear store and saw the dim sum shop next to her, she went to buy some sweets and snacks for her younger siblings.

She saw that there were umbrellas, clothes and tarpaulins on the side of the road, so she bought some too.

Next to the grain store, she asked the uncle who sold the umbrella to help her watch the cart, and went to the grain store with her baggage.

Looking at the price tag, she was very glad that she had taken away the twenty taels of silver in Liu Dashan's arms.

First-class rice now costs 50 wen a catty, and the worst third-class rice costs 30 wen a catty, and each person can only buy 50 catties of rice at most.

The guy saw that it was a child coming over and said, "Let the adults in your family buy it, you have a small physique, you can't take it away if you buy it." ”

Nangong Anshan didn't get angry when she heard this, she took two tael small ingots from her arms in her hands, and said with a smile: "I can, but is there just one of your grain stores here?" ”
