Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

"Auntie, I have two things, please take them to the pawn shop for me to ask." Mrs. Li San took out two wooden boxes from her sleeves. A jade hairpin."

"When I was in Yun County, the pawn shop gave me a price of 500 taels for these two items. At that time, I couldn't bear to part with them, so I didn't pawn them. Now that the situation is like this, I'm afraid the money in my hand won't last long, so I'll ask my aunt to help me. As long as I can get these two items For seven hundred taels..."

After a pause, Mrs. Li San changed her mind again, "If you can pay six hundred taels, I'll ask you to do it for me."

Ke Muqing glanced at the jade bracelet and jade hairpin in the wooden box. Even someone like her who was not proficient in jade could tell at a glance that these two items were of the highest quality.

This is not the pair of jade bottles she received from the Lin family before. The stone material of the jade bottles can be described as transparent, but the jade bracelet and jade hairpin have an aura that makes people marvel at a glance. They are also green jade. Woolen cloth.

"Okay, just wait for my good news." Ke Muqing put away the things. After everyone moved the empty water tanks to Ke Xiucai's ox cart, Ke Muqing asked the others to go back and rest first. Just wait here.

After everyone had gone away, Ke Muqing pulled Ke Xiucai and told him not to wait in line, and drove the bullock cart to the front to wait.

"I'll bring a few empty water tanks in for show, and then fill them up when I come out." Ke Muqing told Ke Xiucai to hide the water bladder on his body and then drove the ox cart to the front to queue up.

It took two quarters of an hour to queue up to enter the city. Once we entered the city, beggars with cracked lips and skinny figures could be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Everyone walking in the city looked tired, looking numbly at the beggars walking through the crowd, and then waved their hands to drive them away.

Ke Muqing called a young gentleman with a kind face and asked him, "Where can I buy water in the city? I was passing through here and I don't know much about the situation in the city. What is the current price of this water? Where can I buy it? Can I buy food? And at what price?"

The man was also an enthusiastic person. When Ke Muqing asked him, he answered, "Old lady, you keep walking along this road, and then go to the county government office. You can buy water there. A bucket of water costs 300 Wen. Here The water in Nanshi is the cheapest, but you have to queue up. There is water in Nanshi, but it costs 400 yuan a bucket, and there are fewer people there."

"As for food, there is no place to buy food in the city, and no one is willing to sell it for any price." The man said this and sighed, "I don't know what will happen to us people in Liang County in the future. Madam, you Where did it come from?"

"I'm from Yan County and plan to go south." Ke Muqing responded.

"Yan County, Yan County is better than Liang County. There are floods in the south. Madam, it's useless to go to the south." The man's eyes turned red when he said this, "I don't know where in the world we are the common people." 's habitat."

Ke Muqing reached out and patted the pessimistic man, and quietly gave him a small bag of rice in a comforting gesture.

Seeing the man looking at her in astonishment with eyes full of tears, Ke Muqing made a hissing gesture towards him.

The young man quickly wiped his tears and wanted to return the bag to Ke Muqing.

"Son, if I give it to you, just keep it and endure it for as many days as you can. No matter how difficult the road is, you will eventually get out of it." Ke Muqing said.

"Thank you, ma'am, but I can't take your things for free." The man touched up and down, but found nothing. He looked embarrassed and said hurriedly,

"Old lady, I live in Datong Village outside the city. The first house you enter is my house. Old lady, please go to my house after your work and I will exchange you for this bag of rice."

Ke Muqing nodded and drove the bullock cart forward. The man was still calling Ke Muqing, telling her to go to Datong Village to find him.

After knowing the price of water in the city, Ke Muqing didn't bother to queue up. A bucket of water costs three to four hundred cents. What's the difference between it and robbery?
The county government is still doing business with water, and the county magistrate is not a good person.

After walking around the city, Ke Muqing drove the cattle out of the city. Ke Xiucai sat in a daze on the cattle cart, not knowing what he was thinking. He didn't even notice Ke Muqing approaching.

"Dad?" Ke Muqing gently pushed Ke Xiucai, "What are you thinking about?"

Only then did Ke Xiucai come back to his senses, shook his head, and sighed, "What else can I think about? I'm just thinking that the world is going to be in chaos."

The foolish and unscrupulous princes, and the vassal kings who are pursuing their own political affairs and waiting for opportunities, the world's strife will be triggered at any time. It is the common people who are suffering from the war.

"I hope we can fight again when we get to Lingnan." Ke Muqing said.

The two drove the ox cart away from the city gate and found a deserted place to stop. Ke Xiucai watched Ke Muqing fill the empty water tank little by little.

A ton of tap water costs twenty cents, which is the selling price in the system mall. Ke Muqing can make it casually without feeling any distress.

Drinking water is more expensive, costing five cents per barrel.

Ke Muqing also didn't feel bad when the buffalo came.

"You, you are lucky to marry such a good husband like Daniel in this life." Ke Xiucai sighed as he put the lid on the water tank, "Look at Daniel, he took care of the whole family when he was alive, and when he was down there, he still This is how you can help our whole family."

The corner of Ke Muqing's mouth twitched slightly, "Dad, I paid for all this. He didn't give it for free, Yang Daniu also made money."

Otherwise, do you think this mall named Yang Daniu is doing charity with her here?

Ant meat is also meat. If you make less money, you still make money.

They covered the water tank with tarpaulin and drove the ox cart back to the inn.

Ke Muqing told Ke Xiucai about the price of water in the city, then said she had something else to do and drove the bullock cart away again.

Ke Muqing went to Datong Village, intending to try his luck and see if there was any business he could do.

The oxcart was covered with tarpaulin, and no one knew what was inside. Whatever Ke Muqing needed would be what was in the oxcart.

Datong Village is not difficult to find. As soon as Ke Muqing entered the village, he saw the gentleman just now.

The man was holding a little girl of four or five years old and seemed to be waiting for her.

"Auntie, you're here! Come in quickly!"

Ke Muqing took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to the little girl, "My mother-in-law gave them to you to sweeten your mouth."

"Auntie, you can't do that!" Zhu Langjun didn't have the nerve to ask for something from a stranger.

"It makes!" Of course it makes!
As soon as Ke Muqing stopped, the system detection function told her that this gentleman had good things at home.

"I'm already here, why don't you invite me to sit at home?" Ke Muqing changed the subject and looked inside, "Is there anyone else at home?"

"My father and my wife are both here. My mother has gone to dig wild vegetables in the mountains." Zhu Langjun said hurriedly, "Mom, come in quickly and drive the ox cart in and park it in the yard."

Ke Muqing said hello and drove the bullock cart in.

As soon as he entered Zhu's courtyard, Ke Muqing knew what the good things the system was talking about.

It's an orchid in full bloom. I don't know what kind it is. It has purple flowers with a strong fragrance, but it smells very good.
