The next day, Liu Yue rarely didn't lie in bed, and she was dressed before Shen Lingan knocked on the door.

Shen Lingan was rubbing her sleepy eyes and knocking on the door to tell her sister-in-law to get up, and she was a little surprised when she saw Liu Yue come out: "Ah, sister-in-law, you have already gotten up." ”

In order to feed the cubs breakfast, Liu Yue insisted on the same routine as the Shen family every day, and got up at the end of the day (that is, at five o'clock in the morning). But because of lazy cancer, it was always the Shen family brothers and sisters who had washed up before she could get up.

Shen Lingan is used to waking up her sister-in-law every day.

Therefore, when he suddenly saw his sister-in-law who was not in bed, Shen Lingan said that he was very surprised.

Liu Yue was rarely in good spirits early in the morning: "Because I'm going to the city today!" ”

Little girls don't wait for a woman's love of shopping, especially when she wants to go shopping in a brand new place that she has never been to before! The soul of shopping is burning!

Liu Yue was in a good mood, pinched Shen Ling'an's mellow face, and took her hand to brush her teeth by the well in the backyard. She popularized toothbrushes and toothpaste for the three of them on the second night after she wore them, and strongly urged everyone to brush their teeth twice a day to keep their teeth healthy and clean.

Although she should follow the customs when entering the countryside, since she has the conditions, she should let the children develop better living habits. In addition, she now makes the cubs ingest a lot of oil and water every day, which increases the burden on the teeth, if you don't take good care of it, it will be easy to rot teeth, and how ugly it is for such beautiful and lovely cubs to have a mouth full of cavities.

Shen Qingyan and Shen Yi repaired earlier, and they had already gone out to rent an oxcart from Lao Li Tou.

The car matter was agreed by Shen Qingyan to Lao Li Tou last night and gave the other party a rental fee of 100 yuan.

Liu Yuekong had a bracelet of materials, but there was no copper plate, so she had to ask Shen Qingyan to pay in advance, and when she entered the city and became the gold bracelet she bought in modern times, she would have an initial venture fund.

It is best to be able to cash out thirty or forty taels of silver, so that they can also buy an ox cart, and it is more convenient to enter the city later, renting a car every time is both expensive and expensive, and Liu Yue is afraid that her legs will cost if she walks.

Therefore, solving the problem of transportation is the top priority of her business!

After Liu Yue and Shen Ling'an finished washing, they went out to find Shen Qingyan.

Originally, Shen Qingyan only planned to take his third brother into the city, but now that Liu Yue had been added and an ox cart had been rented, Shen Qingyan simply brought Shen Lingan with him.

The whole family is in town together!

Shen Qingyan happened to sort out the rice bags, they wanted to sell more rice, and the entire ox cart was full of rice bags, leaving only four small corners on the four sides for them to sit on.

Liu Yue didn't dislike it either, and at a glance she chose a small corner behind the right, and Shen Lingan sat on her left. The other two are in charge of driving in front.

In order to be in a hurry, they changed their breakfast time to the road today, and Liu Yue prepared four large meat buns, a sandwich and a glass of milk for no one, which were delicious and easy to eat.

After Liu Yue finished breakfast, tired of seeing the scenery along the way, leaned on the rice bag and slept again, the slow old cow of Lao Li Tou's family finally swayed to the city gate.

The city wall more than ten meters high stood in front of Liu Yue, and the simple and strong atmosphere came from the pavement, which shocked Liu Yue a little speechless. Liu Yue has also traveled to the ancient city before, but the city that has been repaired by commerce does not have this kind of wind and frost.

On either side of the gates stood two rows of uniformed soldiers, who were responsible for securing the city.

After lining up for about a stick of incense, they entered the city smoothly after each paid a five-cent entrance fee.

The buildings in the city are not like thatched houses, earthen houses, and blue brick houses mixed together like in the village, but all brick and stone houses, and the roads are neat and smooth.

Shen Qingyan first drove the ox cart to the rice shop and sold all the grain on the cart.

The guys in the rice shop knew them, and they asked them to move the rice bags to the backyard for weighing, and Liu Yue was left in the hall with inconvenient legs. I took the opportunity to observe the price of rice shops.

There are many kinds of rice grains, ranging from 23 wen 1 catty of polished rice, 20 wen 1 jin of white flour, 16 wen 1 jin of yellow noodles, to 12 wen 1 jin of old rice, 10 wen 1 jin of brown rice.

If a penny is equal to five cents in modern times, the price of grain in ancient times is ten times higher than in modern times, and if they travel through time and space at will, she will also make a lot of money as a grain middleman.

Liu Yue also saw some unique ancient and ancient special grains: bran, five wen and one catty.

Liu Yue smacked her tongue, in modern times, bran is something that pigs don't want to eat, what kind of people will buy bran!

The shopkeeper of the rice shop was a wide and fat squint, sitting lazily on the Taishi chair and watching Shen Qingyan and Shen Jingcheng put the rice on the scale and weighed it, and moved the abacus beads on the abacus with his fingers.

"Your rice is good, I calculate it according to eighteen wen a catty, a total of fifteen taels and six hundred and sixty wen."

This is inevitably too little, Liu Yue was a little stunned. This is not a modern era with rich yields, one acre of land grows 180 catties of grain is already considered a high yield, and the Shen family's five acres of land have harvested a total of 870 catties of rice, which can be described as a bumper harvest.

But such a bumper harvest can only be exchanged for a dozen taels of silver,

This is the harvest that the Shen family has worked hard for a whole year, and they actually sold it for such a small amount of money. And this silver will be the Shen family's expenses for the next year.

You must know that in costume dramas, in ancient novels, those male protagonists send hairpins to female protagonists for thousands of taels, so how many catties of rice do you have to plant? A hairpin requires a hundred peasant households to work for a year.

This gap between the rich and the poor is really .......

Moreover, the Shen family earned fifteen taels of silver, which is still based on the fact that Shen Qingyan himself is a showman and is exempt from taxes, and because there are materials in Liu Yue, the Shen family has no surplus grain, and those ordinary working families work for a year, and they only get ten taels of silver?

No wonder the Shen family was reluctant to even eat white rice before, no one would be willing to be so extravagant!

The life of the peasants at the bottom in ancient times was too hard.

Liu Yue became more and more determined to make money.

Shen Qingyan was quite satisfied with the money, put the money into his purse, and gave up his hand to leave.

The shopkeeper Xu of the rice shop asked again: "Don't you buy something?" ”

Usually the farmers who come to sell rice will spend money to buy some old rice and brown rice to take home after buying their own polished rice.

Liu Yue was a person with dozens of tons of rice in the space, so she naturally didn't want Shen Qingyan to spend her hard-won silver, so she vaguely said that there was still food left at home and pulled Shen Qingyan out.

After selling the rice, Shen Qingyan wanted to go to the government to apply for Liu Yue's household registration, because he didn't know how long it would take, so he didn't let Liu Yue and the others follow, but Shen Jingcheng drove Liu Yue to the academy to find Shen Jingcheng and asked him to go home during the holiday of the academy the day after tomorrow.

As for why go home?

Naturally, Shen Qingyan and Liu Yue are expected to handle the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow.

After agreeing to meet in front of the willow tree at the gate of the city, they parted ways.
