Although Ziyang Academy is extremely attractive to Fu Yuanzhi, now is not the time for Ziyang Academy to recruit students.

However, it is not without opportunities, Jian'an County holds a tea party on the seventh day of May every year.

We can only see if we can have a chance at that time.

The next day, Song Huan and the four of them went to visit Jian'an County.

It's better to go out and take a stroll and see what the difference is between this place and the towns you've been to before, the prices, eating habits, and so on.

By the way, there is one most critical one, food.

She doesn't remember which book she read it from, but corn did not develop very quickly after it was introduced to China, and for a long time it was only cultivated in some coastal areas and mountainous areas such as Zhejiang and Fujian.

It took two centuries for corn to become popular in the mainland, Anhui, Hebei and other places.

It took more than a century to spread rapidly in the Northeast Wilderness.

Compared with corn, sweet potatoes have developed rapidly.

The difference between corn and sweet potato may lie in the fact that the incoming person is different?

Sweet potatoes were sent to Luzon (the Philippines) by businessman Chen Zhenlong, who found that the yield was very high, and it was delicious whether it was steamed, boiled or roasted, so he wanted to transplant it back to China.

In June of the year he returned to China, Chen Zhenlong asked his son Chen Jinlun to present potato vines to the governor of Fujian, explain its use and planting methods, and ask for promotion.

The former was spread because the people lived for their lives, and the latter was planted by order of the imperial court.

Although she doesn't know which era in history the development of the era she is in now, she has seen the sweet potato, but the corn has not yet been seen.

Maybe it's something different.

Jian'an County is really a big city, with a prosperous economy, a large population, bustling and busy, so lively.

Even the streets are twice as wide as Yangjiang Prefecture.

Flags fluttered in the sun, and the shouts of the vendors and vendors were non-stop.

The building rises from the ground and is luxurious.

The price of grain here is not much different from that of Yangjiang Mansion, and there are many local specialties to eat.

For example, fish balls, oyster cakes, nine-layer cakes, scallion cakes, noodles, fried meat cakes, spring cakes, and so on.

There are many varieties, but there are many more than the other places they have passed when they came.

The local people pay attention to fresh and elegant, sweet and sour.

The processing of food is also on a higher level than other places.

Sure enough, where there is competition, more different foods or derivatives will emerge.

The third day of the fifth month

Song Huan and the four of them accompanied Wang Dayu to a hidden building, Wang Dayu went to talk about business, and Song Huan was not good to be around, so they sat in the private room on the second floor to rest.

At this time, Ah Di came over and said, "Sister, look at the other side." ”

Ah Di pointed to the gap in the window and motioned for Song Huan to look.

Opposite is a silver number.

At this time, there was a man in a patched cloth shirt, carrying a sack on his back and looking around, timidly like a thief.

At this time, the shopkeeper was chatting with his buddy.

I saw the man walking to the cabinet with a sack on his back, and I didn't know what to say to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then asked the man to take the person away from the cabinet.

Song Huan asked, "What do you see?" ”

Atimo rubbed his chin and said, "I guess, that uncle must have made a fortune, and the sack is not good enough to say that it is gold, silver and jewelry." ”

Song Huan returned to his seat and took a sip of tea, tasted it, and couldn't eat the so-called charm, "I guess not." ”

Ah Di asked, "What could that be?" ”

Song Huan smiled and said nothing, "If you really want to know, you will have the result in two days, anyway, we will not leave Jian'an County for a while." ”

Brother snorted, Sister is getting better and better at selling off.

That is purely an honest farmer, can there be other purposes?

At this time, the silver number is inside

The man asked the shopkeeper, "How much does it cost to sell for a pound of silver?" ”

It would be good for ordinary people to have hundreds or thousands of copper coins in their hands, and silver was simply beyond their reach.

As a result, they would not know at all, nor would they know about the exchange of silver and copper coins.

The shopkeeper was stunned, the exchange of silver has always been about how much money is one tael, how much money is exchanged for silver, I have never heard of silver on the exchange of pounds for money?

The shopkeeper looked at this man again, timid, like an old rush.

The shopkeeper did not return to the market of his money, but said, "How much silver do you have?" ”

The man subconsciously looked left and right, and then leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and whispered, "I have a pit of silver!" ”

The shopkeeper was surprised, his face was not obvious, and then he smiled and said, "Since you have a pit of silver that you don't keep for your own use, what are you doing with my silver number?" Don't come to fool me! ”

The man picked his toes on the ground, his face turned red, and he twisted, "I'm just an ordinary person, and when I suddenly have silver in my hand, I think it will suddenly grow wings and fly one day, or copper coins are more reassuring to me." ”

Seeing that the man didn't seem to be cheating, the shopkeeper inadvertently swept the sack on the man's shoulder and said, "The silver is one hundred and twenty yuan a catty." ”

The shopkeeper didn't tell the truth, and directly said that one hundred and sixty hangs became one hundred and twenty hangs.

One tael = one hanging money = consistent money = 1000 copper plates

The man was overjoyed, and the shopkeeper saw this interrupt his joy before he could exclaim, and said, "But ......"

The man froze with joy, and asked directly, "But what?" Shopkeeper, say it quickly! I'm listening! ”

The shopkeeper said, "The source of your money is unknown, and I don't dare to take the risk of changing it for you." ”

The man had a bitter face, but after a while, he said, "How can the shopkeeper help change?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Eighty hangs a catty, how about it?" ”

The man thought about it, anyway, it was for nothing, and there could be eighty hangings, which would also be a lot of money.

The man nodded and said, "Then I sold you this pound of silver!" ”

"I asked several companies and said that they couldn't pay seventy yuan, but you are fair, and you will not fool me, so I will sell it to you."

The man took out of the sack more than sixteen taels of silver, and nodded to the shopkeeper, who paid him eighty denis.

Eighty hanging coins took up more space than silver, and the man put it in the sack, tied the sack and tied it again, only to feel safe and relieved.

Then he saw him with the sack on his back, and when he looked out, and when he saw that no one was coming, he turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Tomorrow I will come in the evening, and I will be there before you close the door, and I will sell you five pounds." But I'm afraid that others will know about it, so remember to close the door when I come, and then open the door and let me out when I have changed the money. ”

The man went away happily.

The guys waited for the man to leave and started chatting again, and when there was something to talk about, everyone said a word.

The content is summed up in that the man thinks that the man is a poor man who has money to live and suffers, and sooner or later he will be tossed to death by silver.

Ah Di looked at the sack on his back that was obviously much bigger than Fang Cai, and looked at Sister Ah who looked calm, and hummed in his heart, he didn't believe it.

The fourth day of the fifth month

Palm light time

It's time for the shop to close, and the man is not trustworthy, so he came with a sack.

As soon as they entered the door, the man and the shopkeeper smelled the smell of alcohol, and the store was instantly filled with the smell of alcohol.

The shopkeeper frowned, he didn't think too much about it for a while, and thought that the poor were getting rich and "don't take a step".

I saw the man sitting on the chair by himself, and no one paid attention.

The attitude is the opposite of yesterday.

The man glanced at the shopkeeper, and after the shopkeeper signaled that he was all right, he closed the door and latched it, and he approached the man again, and asked, "How many catties of silver do you sell today?" ”

I saw the man straighten up, his eyes widened, his already drunk eyes were bloodshot and red, and he said fiercely, "How did you do this business?" Bully me in the countryside, don't you! ”
