Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 313 Why is this snack sold outside?

Four days later, Liu Qingcao's horse-drawn carriage stopped under the tall city gate. Pedestrians came and went frequently around, and laughter and laughter lingered in the ears. Boats were sailing on the wide river, and there was lively singing and dancing on board.

Although the main street of Shunzhou Fucheng was busy, Liu Qingcao's eyes did not stop on it, but on a small street not far from the river.

If you want to enter the city, you need to pay the city silver and three cents. After Liu Qingcao paid, he drove the carriage to the river.

The autumn wind is a bit chilly and mixed with the vapor from the river. The wind penetrates through the clothes and soaks into the bones, making people tingle.

Along the river, Liu Qingcao walked to the small street. The fishy smell filled her nose and throat, making her wrinkle her cheeks unconsciously.

On this small street, all the fish are sold. Maybe the smell is too strong and there are many people selling them, so a special area is set aside.

There are a lot of catches in the small streets, including big ones like crocodiles, which are over one meter long, and small ones like wheat fish, shrimps and crabs. There are many people selling them, and there are also many people buying them.

Liu Qingcao walked and watched, and before she knew it, she reached the end of the street. She went back and bought while walking.

"Old man, were these sturgeons and shrimps caught in this river?" Liu Qingcao bent down and asked, pointing to the more than 100 kilograms of sturgeons and the dying river shrimps.

The old man's eyes were a little cloudy, his back was arched, and he looked old. When he heard Liu Qingcao's voice, he stood up with a smile.

"Little girl, I caught it from the river. It took a lot of effort."

"Old man, how much do these fish and shrimps cost?"

"Five cents of silver. This pipefish weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms, and the shrimp weighs twenty-one or two kilograms. Five cents of silver is not expensive." The old man had already calculated the price. The fish and shrimp were caught by his son. For After catching it, the two sons were scratched several times by it.

If it weren't for the lack of rice at home, his son wouldn't have gone deep.

Five cents of silver can be exchanged for two cents of brown rice, which can be eaten with fish and shrimp, which is enough for their family to feed for three months. If they work hard during this period, they can survive this winter.

Liu Qingcao nodded. Although these fish and shrimps have a strong fishy smell, they are still meat after all. However, people usually don't have much oil and salt to stew them to remove the fishy smell. They only eat white fish meat, which is indeed a bit difficult to swallow.

"Old man, I bought all these fish and shrimps. This is one tael of silver." Liu Qingcao took out a piece of broken silver and looked at the old man. "Five yuan for fish and shrimp. There are five yuan left. These silver coins can be used to rent a house for one day." Do you think your fishing gear is feasible?"

"Little girl, you don't need so much to borrow fishing gear. Three or five cents can last you a day. You have too much."

"Old man, take it. I caught a fish, and I need your family to help me." Liu Qingcao put the silver on the back of the fish and took two steps back.

The old man looked at Liu Qingcao intently for a while to make sure that what she said didn't seem to be a lie, and then he collected the money and put it in his arms.

"When will the little girl use this fishing gear? I will go back and ask the old lady to clean it up."

"Old man, I will use the fishing gear tomorrow. I need to send the fish and shrimp back today." Liu Qingcao bent down to lift the shrimp basket and paused, "I will come to this small street to find the old man tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, I'll come here to wait for you, this little girl, tomorrow morning." The old man struggled to lift the pipefish, stabilized it for a while, and placed the fish on the carriage frame.

Liu Qingcao responded and drove the carriage towards the city.

The big fish on the carriage frame was so big that it attracted a lot of people's attention, but this look...contempt?

Liu Qingcao: "..."

Alas, she is despised by everyone.

Liu Qingcao laughed at himself in his heart, and drove the carriage forward regardless of the eyes of others.

She heard that there was a pastry in Shunzhou Fucheng, and everyone who tasted it praised it highly.

As a foodie, she couldn't miss it.

Liu Qingcao walked along the main street until she saw a plaque with three big words "Qiqiao Zhai" engraved on it. There was a group of people surrounding the plaque, including men, women, old and young.

This business looks very good, and I think the taste will not disappoint her.

Because there were so many people, by the time Liu Qingcao queued up in front of the dim sum shop, it was already half an hour later.

"What do you need, Miss?" The girl from the pastry shop looked at Liu Qingcao with a smile on her face.

Liu Qingcao smiled slightly and looked into the counter. The shop was not small, about sixty square meters, with counters nearly two meters high on all sides. There were all kinds of pastries in various colors and shapes on the counters.

Liu Qingcao was dazzled by the variety of snacks and they were so exquisite that her saliva was stimulated and filled her mouth.

How to do?

She wants to take them all!

Liu Qingcao turned to look at the crowd behind her and hesitated.

Forget it, forget it, it's better to keep a low profile today. It would be nice to come again tomorrow, so as not to cause any complaints.

"Take half of it." Liu Qingcao took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his sleeve and said with a smile. The shop girl's eyes widened with a look of shock on her face, "Miss, the remaining half must be wrapped. In this weather, it will go bad if you don't eat it for two days. Would you like me to buy less?"

It's not that she doesn't want to sell more, it's just that there are more than a hundred boxes of half of the snacks, and she can't give away so many. It would be a pity if she can't finish them all and spoil them.

A box of these snacks costs twenty taels of silver. There are ten coins in it, two hundred coins each, but they are really expensive. They have been working here for a long time, and the shopkeeper will only reward them with a box when there is a happy event. On weekdays, even if it breaks, it will be a waste. I won’t feed them.

The shop girl looked at Liu Qingcao and the money on the counter again, with envy in her eyes.

The girl in front of her is even younger than her...

"There are many people at home, so it won't break." Liu Qingcao noticed her gentle sigh, turned to the counter, and explained.

There were so many snacks that she couldn't finish at once, but since she had space, the food wouldn't go bad and the quantity wouldn't be large.

When the shop girl heard what she said, she stopped trying to persuade her and turned around, taking the box and starting to pack the pastries.

There were a total of one hundred and seventy boxes, and the three shop girls had been busy for half an hour, and they were very tired.

The people in the queue behind Liu Qingcao were full of resentment towards her move, but they couldn't afford to offend someone who could spend hundreds of taels of silver at once, so they really dared not speak out in anger.

Liu Qingcao watched the shop girl packing the boxes intently, ignoring the looks from behind.

She was a good person and left half of it for them.

You are really uneducated, don't know how to be grateful, and release your resentment everywhere!

"Miss, everything is wrapped up, totaling three hundred and forty taels of silver." The shop girl took a deep breath, with a suitable smile on her lips, and her voice was very respectful.

"Thank you. This is three hundred and fifty taels of silver. The remaining ten taels are your hard-earned money." Liu Qingcao took out two more silver notes without changing his expression and smiled gently at her.

The shop girl opened her mouth wide and widened her eyes, unable to believe her ears.

Liu Qingcao pushed the money forward, "Can you help me carry my things into the carriage? It's not far, right next to it."

More than a hundred boxes were not convenient to use, and she really couldn't take them away at once.

The shop girl came to her senses after being reminded by her companion and nodded hurriedly.

"Miss, wait a moment, I'll ask someone to help."

The shop girl took the money, left this sentence, and ran to the back of the shop with joy.

After a while, the shop girl came out with two men. The two men walked up to Liu Qingcao with a snack box in each hand.

"Miss, please lead the way, and I will deliver your things to you." The man's tone was sincere and his attitude was respectful.

Liu Qingcao smiled and turned around and walked in front, her heart screaming, it's better to have money. If you have money, you will be the uncle.

After getting the snacks, Liu Qingcao drove the carriage to an inn to check in. She moved all the fish and shrimps on the carriage frame into the carriage and put them away, along with more than a hundred boxes of snacks.

In the inn, Liu Qingcao closed the door and window and entered the space.

Qin Xin and the other two were busy at the moment. Liu Qingcao walked over with snacks in hand and looked at the two of them with a smile.

What a great staff. It's not easy to find them both.

"Qinxin, Yitwen, come and try how this pastry tastes." Liu Qingcao separated the pastry and shouted to the two of them.

Qin Xin and Yi Er heard Liu Qingcao's shout and walked to the table and sat down.

In the past, the two of them had to walk by groping, but since Liu Qingcao made a blind path for them, they can walk much more easily.

"Is this pastry made by a girl?" Qin Xin held the pastry and intuitively felt that the taste was very familiar.

"How can I have such good craftsmanship? I bought this from a store outside." Liu Qingcao laughed dryly. How could she know such exquisite workmanship?

Qin Xin nodded, put the snack into her mouth, and ate it with mixed emotions.

How come this snack is sold outside?

Shouldn't it be lost?
