"There are meat sellers in the city, and I bought a lot. It's still early, so you can discuss whether you want to make dumplings or not. I have to go out again."

Ke Muqing explained with a smile and then left.

The inn was not far from the place she had arranged for, and Ke Muqing drove the ox cart there.

The husband of the Lin family came on time with his people, and Ke Muqing's bullock cart had already prepared all the things the Lin family wanted.

Bartering means delivering goods with both hands.

Ke Muqing opened the wooden box and took a look to make sure it was the pair of jade bottles he saw just now and put it away.

"Mr. Lin, then our business is done. Don't publicize it outside of this place. I don't want to exchange all my things for money or other vulgar things. I still like to exchange things for things. "

Ke Muqing specifically confessed that she drove the bullock cart and left first after getting Lin Langjun's guarantee.

After Ke Muqing had gone far away, Mrs. Lin and her husband sighed, "I don't know where this Mr. Lin came from. He is dressed in such noble clothes, but he drives an ordinary ox cart by himself."

"Who knows, we are lucky to be able to buy these things from him. Nowadays, even water is hard to find, but he can use so much crushed ice to freeze these shrimps and fish. I heard that most wealthy businessmen in the south are wealthy. I believe it now." Lin Langjun was not curious about the identity of Dong Lin's family, but Lin Langjun was satisfied if he could buy these grains.

"I said that as long as I meet Mrs. Ke, I will have good luck. Husband, do you think I am a woman with great luck?"

Mrs. Lin looked at the cart full of goods and felt that she had contributed a lot to it. These things were expensive to buy, but they sold even more expensively when they were on the table in Lin's restaurant.

The city is rich, and there are people who are willing to spend a lot of money just to satisfy their addiction.

When Ke Muqing returned to the inn, the government officials also came back, and this time everyone finally had a smile on their faces.

"This Mr. Zhuang is really a good official. He has provided us with all the examples we asked for, and he has not made things difficult for us." Zheng Hui felt happy, "No matter what happens in the next few counties, at least we have been there recently. There’s no need to worry too much.”

Seeing Ke Muqing come back, Zheng Hui asked more, "Auntie, did you go to the county town and buy everything you wanted?"

"I bought it." Ke Muqing nodded in agreement, "Master Zhuang is indeed a good official."

Precisely because there are good officials like Mr. Zhuang to check the grain merchants, the people in the county are not in panic now.

Yang Shuangshuang and the others had been thinking about dumplings on Fu'er's birthday. Tonight, as pork was available, Feng Ying and the others actually made dumplings, which made these children so happy that they had full bellies every night.

Several children had eaten too much, but Ke Muqing did not let the children go back to rest immediately, and drove them to play outside the inn door.

The manager of the inn also likes to have fun. While doing calculations inside, he listened to the laughter of the children outside, and he himself laughed along with it.

The children were happy, and so was he. Today he earned almost two taels of silver, and each of the people at the post station could get an extra three hundred cents.

"Grandma, whose birthday is next in our family?" Yang Chengzhuo jumped up to Ke Muqing and asked, "Can anyone eat dumplings no matter whose birthday it is? If you can't eat it that day, you can make up for it if you have meat in a few days." "Who? Whoever orders the food for the birthday party can eat whatever they want. Even if they can’t eat it that day, they will make up for it in a few days. This is the rule of our family.”

Ke Muqing rubbed Yang Chengzhuo's head and said, "Are you happy? The next person in our family to celebrate a birthday is your Aunt Xiuyu. As for the Yangs, go and ask them. Maybe someone will celebrate their birthday before your Aunt Xiuyu."

Yang Chengzhuo actually ran to find Yang Yi and the others. After coming back after a while, he sighed and shook his head.

"They have either already passed, or they are all behind Aunt Xiuyu." Yang Chengzhuo said, "Grandma, there are still too few people in our family."

"You are really the greedy cat in our family." Yang Shuangshuang poked Yang Chengzhuo's belly, "You are such a fool. If you act like this next time, grandma will scold you."

"I know, sister." Yang Chengzhuo also knew that his stomach hurt after eating so much that he didn't even dare to run too fast tonight.

"Auntie." Mrs. Li San came out with the oil paper bag, "Today, Myolie and I went into the city for a walk. We saw some candied fruits selling and bought some back. If Auntie doesn't mind, these can be sweet for your children. Sweet mouth."

Ke Muqing saw Mrs. Li San in the city today, and she saw her at the door of the pawn shop.

"You can remember that my child is your heart, how can I dislike you." Ke Muqing took the oil paper bag and handed it to Yang Shuangshuang, "Thank you quickly, Aunt Li, keep both of them, and eat them after breakfast tomorrow. "

"Thank you, Third Aunt Li." Yang Shuangshuang led everyone to thank them, put away their things and returned to the room.

"Mrs. Li San, please take a step to speak." Ke Muqing smiled at Mrs. Li San, took her two more steps outside, and then said, "Did I see you entering the pawn shop today?"

Mrs. Li San's expression paused, and then she nodded again.

"When I left the capital, my parents gave me a lot of money, but I didn't expect that the expenses along the way would be so high. It made my aunt laugh. Now I can only rely on pawning some jewelry along the way. Fortunately, my mother gave me some money when I left. I gave you a box of jewelry. If I spend more money, I should be able to spend it all the way to Lingnan." Mrs. Li San said.

But after she finished speaking, Xing'er sighed, "Girl, you think too simply. The more expensive the food is now, the less valuable these jewelry are. The pair of earrings you are pawning today can at least be used as a pair of earrings if you die in the capital." One hundred taels, but today the pawnshop in the city only gave me fifty taels, which is a full half short. The jade head on the earring is so good, fifty taels is really a big loss."

Ke Muqing's eyebrows twitched. Mrs. Li San's jewelry was worth a hundred taels when sold, which shows that it should be a fine piece.

But thinking about it, Mrs. Li San was an official in the capital before anything happened to the Li family. If she could marry the husband of the Li family, Mrs. Li San's natal family should also be an official.

The Li family loves their daughter. Knowing that her daughter will go to Lingnan with her and take care of the Li family's children, Mrs. Li San's natal family naturally wants to put away more expensive and valuable things to support her daughter.

"The world is like this outside today. Today I met the owner of our restaurant. He bought a pair of jade bottles in the city for only five hundred taels. The water heads on the jade bottles looked good and very transparent. If it were before, this jade bottle would have cost at least one to two hundred taels of silver to buy."

Talking nonsense about jade in the golden age, jade jewelry is indeed becoming more and more priceless nowadays.

"Mrs. Li San, you and I have become old friends at first sight. You don't have to buy the food along the way. I will prepare it for you. Treat it as the golden hairpin you sold me and I will deliver it to you in installments. If so, It’s time to separate, and I’ll deliver the rest to you together.”
