Chapter 42: Encounter with a local tyrant
Hot pot, in modern times, who wouldn't?
Su Zhiqiu naturally explained carefully, the other party was a wealthy man, and when he saw that Su Zhiqiu said the "recipe" so generously, he happily rewarded another broken silver, and then left satisfied.
Su Zhiqiu looked at the broken silver in his hand, turned his head to look at Zhu Qingyun beside him, who was already speechless, and asked, "How many things can I buy with this thing?" β
ββ¦β¦ It's big, it's probably enough for us to eat rice for two months. ββ¦β¦ The wife actually called money a thing......
Zhu Qingyun felt that the worldview was going to be messed up, and he saw the local tyrant for the first time.
Moreover, not only the broken silver, today is also the first time he touched a whole silver ingot, just now when the other party bought meat, he was direct, saying that the copper plate was not enough, and because he couldn't find it here, he waved his hand and wiped it out.

Imperial capital
At the same time, in a dark secret room somewhere, countless oil lamps were lit.
Facing the wall, on the red carpet, sat an old man in a black suit, with a mask on his face, and his eyes and nose were silent.
"Guerraβ"
The door to the chamber suddenly opened, and a tall and slender man in a dark green robe entered, with the same mask on his face, bent down and kneeling behind the elder.
"Have you found out why?" The old man lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, his voice was deep, with a little tiredness, as if he had been tired for the past few days.
The man in the dark green robe hung his head, obviously because of the change in voice, making his voice extremely hoarse: "The celestial phenomena still have no instructions, after one of the two phoenix main stars disappears, the other one is still no longer dim before, and gradually shines brightly and dazzlingly. β
ββ¦β¦ One disappeared," the elder seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice: "There has always been only one Phoenix Main Star, and twenty years ago there was suddenly one more, although it was bleak and gray, but the life was there, and now it disappeared again, and the other one, which was originally much dimmer, gradually brightened......"
"Perhaps...... Something has changed, but that change...... What is it? β
The elder's voice was low and hoarse, unfathomable, and the meaning of his words was unclear.
β¦β¦
After selling the meat, because there was no food at home, Su Zhiqiu followed Zhu Qingyun to the rice shop again, and then bought some grain.
There are many kinds of rice, and Zhu Qingyun buys the cheapest rice, Su Zhiqiu doesn't understand that, plus she doesn't have money now, so she is not embarrassed to let him buy some good rice.
When Zhu Qingyun was shopping, she stood at the door, her eyes wandering around, trying to see if there were any medicinal herb shops, but she didn't see anything.
There happened to be a person who came over, and it seemed that she was also going to buy rice, so she hurriedly leaned over and asked with a smile: "This eldest sister, may I ask if there is any medical hall or medicinal herb shop here?" β
"Oh, you go that way, it's a few blocks away!" The eldest sister turned around and pointed in a certain direction, and then before Su Zhiqiu had time to thank him, she entered the rice shop.
After learning where the destination was, as soon as Zhu Qingyun came out, Su Zhiqiu pulled him to go there.
"Wife, it's time for us to go back." Zhu Qingyun, who was being pulled, frowned slightly and said hesitantly.
He didn't know where Su Zhiqiu was going, but he was a little scared, afraid that Su Zhiqiu would take out the rest of the money and lose it.
This is also the reason why he didn't hand it over to Su Zhiqiu as soon as he received the money. He was waiting, waiting for Su Zhiqiu to come home and give it to her.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be in a hurry for a while," Su Zhiqiu said. Anyway, if you can't go back for a while, you want to find an inn to sleep in for one night, anyway, there is still a little money.
Su Zhiqiu, who has not yet adapted to a poor life, thought so.
