Chapter 16: Rush 2
The daughter-in-law of the Chen family looked at everyone, looked mysterious, and said, "Everyone will naturally know when the time comes." Now that you've bought all these clothes, are you still going to the grocery store in front of you? ”
Obviously, I didn't want to say more, so I quickly changed the subject.
Yang Xin was looking at the princess who changed back into women's clothes in a daze, this cheap cotton clothes, worn on the princess, could not hide the princess's prosperous face and noble air at all, anyway, the princess lived in the palace all the year round, and it is estimated that few people have seen what she looks like, so she is not afraid to wear back to women's clothes, and as soon as the clothes are bought, they are changed in the fitting room in the store.
At this time, when I heard the words of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family, I already knew in my heart, it was estimated that it was the granddaughter of Wang Xiucai, the woman was beautiful with clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, after all, she was the daughter of the landlord's family, and the fifth child of the Chen carpenter was a little cheap.
But now that the Wang family is in distress and defects to the Chen family, there is nothing to say, I can't help but think of the princess and myself, it is not the princess who is in distress, I am such a homeless person, it is impossible to have any intersection with her no matter what.
suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, and he had a big ambition, he must make a career, otherwise a super beauty like a princess would be powerless to protect her.
"What, look stupid? Is it that pretty? ”
The princess was flushed by him, and stamped her feet towards the outside of the store, and Yang Xin hurriedly followed.
"It's good-looking, I can't get enough of it in my life!"
Yang Xin didn't blush at all, and chased after him and said with a wry smile.
The princess waited for him to follow him, and whispered in his ear: "Don't patronize the good looks, let's find a way to escape to Nanjing......"
Yang Xin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, these days he was thinking more about how to control this group of homeless people and expand his power, but he put this matter to the end.
"Don't rush, wait for the opportunity, now is not the time."
Yang Xin thought for a while.
"Well, it's all up to you, let's go to the grocery store in front of us."
The princess was very excited, she had never been to the people, and now she felt like she was buying things with money, and there was an inexplicable excitement that she took the lead in charging the grocery store.
Yang Xin shook his head, it seems that no matter what era women are, it is their nature to love shopping.
The grocery store owner next door has been watching from the sidelines, watching them pay for the shopping honestly, and no longer panicked like the cloth shop owner, but respectfully standing at the door to welcome them.
Naturally, there was a rush of crazy purchases, Yang Xin spent 200 wen to buy two sets of mattresses for the two, and spent 20 wen to buy two porcelain bowls, and the princess also picked a few wooden basins, a set of teapots, a bag of salt, and some miscellaneous items, which cost another 100 wen.
Bought a lot of things, a total of only spent seven hundred and twenty wen, less than one tael of silver, it seems that the military salary given by King Chuang, three taels per month for a hundred households, can still buy a lot of things, this is still in the case of soaring prices in the capital, usually less than half.
It's just that Yang Xin has always wanted food, meat, vegetables and the like have nowhere to buy. He's really fed up with sorghum rice, and besides, he doesn't even have vegetables and oil!
So, when the grocery store owner answered that he had no food to buy, he couldn't help but feel lost.
"The general doesn't have to be in a hurry, although he can't buy food, meat, or vegetables at this time, as long as the general is willing to pay the silver, there is a way to find it for the general!"
The grocery store owner received the princess's money and immediately spoke excitedly.
"Oh? What can you do? ”
Yang Xin asked curiously.
The boss said: "I have lived on this street since I was a child, and the villagers of the whole street know each other, as long as I go down to find them, I can naturally know who has surplus grain and is willing to sell, as for meat and vegetables, it is easier, almost every family on this street grows vegetables in the yard, and there are not a few people who raise chickens and ducks, but pork is a little difficult to do, and there are very few people who raise pigs." ”
Yang Xin thought to himself, sure enough, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, the Dashun army came to rob, everyone was closed, all the materials disappeared, they bought it with money, and those things jumped out by themselves.
Yang Xin intuitively found a business opportunity to make money, so he said: "Then let's do it, you find me a hundred catties of white noodles, ten chickens and ducks, vegetables, you look at it, don't buy too much, it's enough for two people to eat for two or three days." ”
The princesses on the side looked at each other when they heard this, and said, "Brother Yang, did you buy so much?" How long are the two of us going to eat? ”
Yang Xin said calmly: "Don't worry about this, boss, you calculate how much silver you need!" ”
The boss hurriedly took out the abacus and read in his mouth: "Okay, one hundred catties of white flour, fifty wen a catty, five taels of silver, one hundred wen for chickens and ducks, twenty pieces, two taels of silver, as for vegetables, they are not worth much, two people can't eat much for three days, and they will plant them in the next home, and they will go back to the general to pick some and send them to you, and the general will need a total of seven taels of silver." ”
This time, the boss will be a middleman to buy, and he can earn half a tael of silver, and vegetables are a little meaning, so he should give a favor to the general, and he will often take someone to take care of his own business in the future.
Yang Xin hurriedly said: "Okay, General Ben will pay the deposit two taels first, you can go back and find it, and directly take people to the front barracks." ”
After saying that, he asked the princess to pay the deposit.
The princess was very reluctant to take out the silver from her pocket, and finally got ten taels of silver, which cost nearly eight taels in one breath, and the princess only felt that her heart was dripping blood.
But after thinking about it, Yang Xin bought so much food, wouldn't he want to escape with himself? My heart suddenly jumped nervously.
Everyone bought them all, returned with a full load of large bags and small bags, returned to the barracks, and drooled at the people who stayed behind, but these left-behind people were basically the masters who didn't want to spend money, and they were all speechless in surprise when they heard the price that everyone said.
These people are used to being poor, many people have never seen five taels of silver in their lives, so they are naturally pinched to death, and some people would rather have bare butts than buy clothes.
After carrying everything back to the room, Yang Xin immediately summoned Daniel Zhang in.
"What does the general command?"
Daniel Zhang asked respectfully with a fist.
Yang Xin said softly: "Now that the Dashun army outside has withdrawn, you immediately take five personal guards and check along the street where the rest of the recruits of the Beida Battalion are stationed, don't separate, bring sticks, pay attention to safety, run back immediately if there is any trouble, don't conflict with people, understand?" ”
Daniel Zhang didn't ask Yang Xin what he wanted to do, and immediately took the order.
This is the benefit of recruiting these half-sized young men as guards, these people don't have too much thought, simple, and boys worship the strong, their own 1.8 meters and 8 big guys, plus the identity of a hundred households, as long as a little tricking, they can make them obey.
After Daniel Zhang left, the princess asked nervously: "Brother Yang, you just bought so many things and sent people out to inquire about the news, are you ready to escape?" ”
Yang Xin was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he smiled: "Now is not the chance to escape, I am preparing to do business!" ”
