Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 383
The woman said, seeing everyone's eyes fixed on her, subconsciously puffed out her chest, and spoke in a low voice.

"Aren't my scissors broken? I thought about taking them to the blacksmith shop and asking them to repair them. While I was waiting, I found that there were a lot of people coming to the blacksmith shop to buy machetes."

"Also, the price of machetes is now more than [-]% more expensive than before. Don't you think it's surprising?"

Everyone listen, if you are curious,

"It's [-]% higher, why is that?"

Almost every household has a machete. They usually chop up pigweed or something. Not too many people buy it for daily use. Why is there a sudden price increase?

Hearing everyone's question, the woman looked around mysteriously again.

When his eyes fell on Bai Yunxi, he deliberately looked at her twice more, until Bai Yunxi smiled at her, he turned away embarrassedly, and said in a low voice,
"I'm also curious. I thought I was idle, so I chatted with the blacksmith lady who guarded the shop. She was used to it a long time ago, and she was not afraid at all, so she told me directly. Not only the price of machetes, but all iron objects, All price increases."

"In the final analysis, it is still affected by the war. When there is a war, it is easy to produce villains. Usually chop grass and defend yourself at critical moments."

Everyone listened, surprised. On weekdays, as long as there is no need, no one goes to the blacksmith's shop, so the news is really unclear.

"My God, is it true, so we have to buy a machete and go home to prepare?"

"At that time, I was also frightened. I used a machete to defend myself. What should I do if I really hurt someone? Unexpectedly, the blacksmith lady chuckled and didn't take it seriously at all."

As the woman spoke, she raised her hand to cover her chest, looking terrified.

"The blacksmith's wife said that as long as the war in the northwest doesn't stop, there will be refugees fleeing to our place. If someone is hungry and robs food or something, a machete is more powerful than a hoe and rake to scare people."

When Bai Yunxi heard this, his heart moved, let alone, at that time, holding a machete in his hand was indeed more powerful than a hoe.

At the very least, it makes people look like they are already prepared.

As long as there is a war, it is inevitable that the price of iron will rise. This is not surprising, but it is the first time she has experienced this, and she did not expect it.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but look at the woman who spoke, and before she could ask, she was preempted.

"Sounds scary, so do we have to prepare a machete in advance, just in case?"

"I don't know. It's the first time I heard about it. I was so frightened that I haven't recovered from it yet."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she patted her chest again in fear.

"If you want to prepare, first go to the blacksmith shop to inquire about it. The price of ironware has risen now. Even if you buy an iron pot, you will pay [-] to [-]% more than usual. At that time, if you don't need it, it will be a waste of money. , what a pity?"

"That's true. I'll ask the man in my family to go to the town to inquire later. If it's true as you said, even if it's a waste of money, you have to be prepared. It's better than losing your life."

"That's right. I heard from the old man that those refugees who are wandering around are very ruthless. They really need to be careful."

"Hey, look at the trouble, why is there a war all of a sudden?"

Bai Yunxi got off the car at the entrance of the village, watched the ox cart start slowly, was silent for a moment, and then returned to the village with a cloth bag.

　One stone is equal to ten buckets.One bucket is equal to ten liters.Refer to the conversion of a bucket equal to 12 catties in the Song Dynasty... (Don't be surprised if these units of measurement appear in the future.)
