Menghua City, Ah Jiu rode a horse and slowly planned to go out of the city.

I found that there were many more shops on the street, and some faces dressed as merchants.

Ah Jiu dismounted curiously, and saw that the people could exchange the grain for what they needed from those merchants.

"Auntie, how many catties of wheat did you exchange it for?" Ah Jiu stopped an old woman.

"Ah, you are the fairy offered in the fairy temple, I didn't expect the real person to be more beautiful." The old lady couldn't close her mouth happily, and only after bowing three times did she say:

"I used ten catties of wheat for these two pieces of fabric, no, is it cold, I plan to add a few winter clothes to my family."

The old woman held the cloth in her armpits and the cotton on the other, which was snow-white and in exceptional condition.

The old woman introduced the cotton again: "These twenty catties of cotton are exchanged for fifteen catties of Chinese cabbage. ”

Ah Jiu couldn't help frowning, reached out and touched it, and looked up at the store, where the cloth was piled up in a mountain, and the cotton was piled up in sacks and sacks.

"It's quite cheap, I don't know, who paid attention to this bartering method?" Ah Jiu was puzzled by this.

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Ah Jiu looked at it, there were several shops on this south street, and there was even a gold shop.

"This girl, what kind of fabric do you want to change in?" The shopkeeper soon found Ah Jiu at the door.

Enthusiastically invited her into the house: "I not only have Su Jin, but also cloud satin, look at this Di Rong, this is a foreign goods that have crossed the sea." ”

Ah Jiu looked at it casually, the samples were very complete, and before the war, it was not that the nobles of Wang Sun couldn't afford it:

"Then how do you sell this foreign product?"

"It's not much, one pound of grain is one foot, if you can ask for a batch at once, it's thirty feet, only twenty-five pounds of grain."

The shopkeeper's eyes looked at Meng Jiu'er with light, the sable fur cloak on her body was worth a lot of money, and she must be a master with something.

Who knows, Ah Jiuyi didn't plan to buy it when he saw it: "I heard that you have a southern accent and come from Lingnan?" ”

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry and said: "This girl has good ears, although Nanling is not a drought, but now it is almost requisitioned by the imperial court, it is very scarce, fortunately, those of us who go to sea and land business have something, I heard that Menghua City is not short of food, so we can only come all the way to change it." ”

Saying that, there was helplessness in the eyes of the shopkeeper.

Ah Jiu nodded, and it could be seen that this merchant had spent a lot of money to buy these fabrics, but he couldn't eat cotton and cloth without eating.

Presumably, grain must be more valuable than gold.

"The shopkeeper's business is prosperous, I don't bring any food today, I'll come another day." Ah Jiu finished speaking, and asked for the Oh group.

I like to listen to this kind of auspicious words when I do business, and hurriedly clench my fists: "I borrow your auspicious words, I am also a newcomer, and I heard that the fairy temple is very spiritual, but there is such a thing?" ”

Ah Jiu chuckled: "Spirit." ”

Sometimes faith is the spiritual spine of a person, and there is hope when there is always a desperate situation.

Before Ah Jiu went out of the city, he specially took a look at the gold shop.

The shopkeeper was even more exaggerated, after nearly two months of crossing the sea, the ferry crossed the sea and whipped up quickly, and he actually ran here from Dongli, which was across the Black Sea.

Vicious! Ah Jiu's back was hairy when he heard the boss say this.

Ah Jiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Then you golden hairpin, how much grain?" ”

Ah Jiu is really afraid of having a price with the fabric, it is really shocking.

"This hairpin is made of three taels of gold, plus a garnet, a total of sixty catties of grain, of course, you can bargain."

"......" a mouthful of old blood.

"Okay, thank you." Ah Jiu saw that it was almost noon, turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, you don't buy it, why don't you buy it? Amusement me. ”

A dissatisfied voice came from behind him.

The people of Dongli are tall and big because of geography, and their tempers are also very straight.

However, the people in that area live on the island, and there is a real shortage of food, and in addition to the drought in recent years, the only thing left is the mine.

Ah Jiu Yuma went out of the city and went straight to Xinghua Village.

About an hour later, the village was as desolate as ever, and there was no sign of the collapsed houses.

Ah Jiu stopped at the entrance of his alley and subconsciously entered the courtyard.

The dangling broken door frame collapsed when it was touched, and the door panel didn't know when it was removed by someone.

The water tank in the courtyard was also smashed by the collapsed earthen walls of the hall.

The room in the east house is quite complete, and Ah Jiu cautiously stretched out his head to look.

If it weren't for the hallucinations, Grandma would naturally be here.

But there was no one in the room.

When Ah Jiu withdrew his gaze in disappointment and was about to leave, his gaze fell on the stove.
