Chapter 78: This Damn Crossing
Regarding Jiang Tangtang's various unreasonable demands, Lu Shiyan has always been very indifferent.
He took Jiang Tangtang to wait outside the city gate for a while, and then saw a convoy coming out of the city.
The convoy consisted of more than a dozen large and heavy carriages, and there were several men with large swords at their waists outside the carriages.
Lu Shiyan walked up with Jiang Tangtang, but was stopped by a big man with a beard on his face.
The big man looked Lu Shiyan up and down, and saw that although he was wearing a cloth robe, his appearance was outstanding, and he exuded an aura that only a high-ranking person could have, and he spoke politely, "I don't know why the two of you came?" ”
"We dug up some nourishing medicinal herbs on the mountain, and we wanted to go into the city to find a medicine shop to exchange money, but we didn't want to enter the city and asked for half a tael of silver, so we had to wait at the gate of the city to see if we could meet someone who was destined. This brother, do you need medicinal herbs? ”
Lu Shiyan said, taking out the gastrodia in his pocket and the Sanghuang that was carefully stored.
A trace of doubt flashed in the man's eyes, the old lady had just recovered from a serious illness, and the young master was begging for tonic medicine everywhere to replenish the old lady's body.
However, because of the drought, the trade routes were cut off, and there were no medicine pickers to buy medicine in the city, so everyone seemed to be busy fleeing the famine.
The medicinal materials for the old lady's body have not been able to be gathered.
How could it be such a coincidence? The medicine sent by the young couple was exactly what his old lady needed.
"Husband, do you want to buy it? Why don't we go back to the shade and rest first? It was so hot that my face was sunburned. ”
Jiang Tangtang deliberately made a fuss in order to brush up on people's values, but the doubts in the big man's heart gradually disappeared.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the master." After the man finished speaking, he walked quickly to the side of the largest carriage and whispered a few words, and after a while, a man in his twenties came down from the carriage.
The man was dressed in white and walked quickly in the direction of Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the light white silk clothes on his body, and couldn't help but feel a touch of envy in his heart.
Not to mention the breathability of the material on his body, it is in such a dry day with a lack of water, to be able to wear such a neat white clothes, it can be seen that this person is not ordinary wealth.
[The host has a good vision, this person is Fu Muchen, the young owner of the Fu family, and the Fu family has a wide range of businesses, among which the largest one is silk.
This Fu Muchen likes to wear white clothes and loves cleanliness. But because of the drought now, there is no water to do laundry, so he instructed the embroidery lady in the house to cut dozens of sets of white clothes for him in one breath and change them. 】
Jiang Tangtang was instantly angry, [Did you mean it? 】
When she asked her to help find Li Shi's wife and children, he didn't tell her whether she was alive or dead, and asked her to work hard to do tasks and set up values.
Now a passer-by, when he doesn't need to talk nonsense, he actually tells him his identity in detail.
The point is, say how luxurious he is.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have water to wash his clothes, he can make dozens of sets of clothes and change new clothes every day.
If she didn't cross it, she could.
Thousands of sets of clothes, changing two different clothes every day, she has no problem not wearing them again for a few years.
But......
This damn crossing, she went from a good rich second generation to a poor bastard on the way to escape.
This is not a human system, and he deliberately tells her about the luxurious life of the rich second generation in front of her.
Isn't this trying to her off?
[Seeing this Fu Muchen, didn't you get inspired? ] 】
[What inspires?] 】
[As long as you are willing to struggle, what is this Fu family? When the time comes, your life will be a thousand times better than this Fu Muchen. 】
Jiang Tangtang was vigilant: [What do you want to fool me to do? Just fooled me into studying enough, and you still want to fool me to start a business? 】
[Does the host want to be poor like this for the rest of his life? Don't want to live the luxurious life of your previous life? Can't you live like that with your own hands? 】
Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She used to rely on her father, and she never thought about fighting.
But now, whether she admits it or not, she must accept the reality, and she now has no father to rely on.
So, why didn't she live a luxurious life again with her own hands as the system said?
When Jiang Tangtang was talking to the system, Fu Muchen also walked in front of the two.
He looked at the medicinal herbs that Lu Shiyan was holding, and directly offered fifty taels of silver.
Lu Shiyan didn't ask for silver, but said: "We fled through Yihe County, and wanted to go into the city to purchase some items, but because the entry fee was too high, we were stopped outside, I don't know if the son is willing to barter?" ”
Fu Muchen raised his eyebrows, he didn't think that this farmer was quite smart.
Because of the increasing severity of the drought, the purchasing power of silver money is now far less than before, especially the price of rice grains, which is simply one price a day.
What's worse is that more often than not, even if you have money, you can't buy food.
He glanced at the two of them, "What do you want to think?" ”
"I want a carriage, a few sets of clothes and shoes and socks for my wife, and a horse of white cloth, and fifty pounds of coarse grain, fifty pounds of fine grain, and a ...... of water."
Jiang Tangtang just put forward a bunch of requirements to Lu Shiyan, and Lu Shiyan filtered out those that were unrealistic, and only picked out those that he thought were necessary, and said them one by one at this time.
"Now fifty taels of silver, you can't buy so many things. The carriage and the rice were all paid for one day, and the horses in my team were all of the best horses. In this world, even if it is a hundred taels of silver, you may not be able to buy one. ”
Fu Muchen said: "There is also rice grain, not to mention the price of one day in the city, sometimes it costs money, and it may not be able to buy it."
If you really want to do this business, I will give you a little bit of my own rations, and give you ten pounds of each. I don't have any ready-to-wear here, only cloth, and I can give you two pieces of fabric, and you can take them back and cut them yourself......"
After the two bargained, Lu Shiyan finally retreated, not a carriage and water, but thirty catties of coarse grain and fine grain, plus three pieces of cloth.
Two of these three pieces of cloth are colored fine cotton, and the other is pure white cloth according to Jiang Tangtang's requirements.
In addition to this, there were five taels of silver.
When Lu Shiyan went back with his things, he once again aroused the eyes of many villagers.
