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

Is it really a good thing for these ordinary people that such a person who is brave and resourceful but ruthless will rise to power in the future?

The people's desperation has been clearly demonstrated throughout the county.

"You guys settle down while I go into the city to investigate the situation." Ke Muqing and Yang Yi explained to the others, and then left the inn directly.

He wasn't sure what was going on in the city, so Ke Muqing didn't drive the bullock cart.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Ke Muqing went to register first, wrote his name, handed over three kilograms of grain, and received a small wooden sign with the word "Lin" written on it before he was released.

Fucheng is indeed much more lively, with some shops on the streets open, including inns, restaurants, cloth shops, and even grain shops.

There were many people in every shop. Ke Muqing entered the grain shop after thinking about it.

Seeing the waiter busy at the front, Ke Muqing walked over and asked, "Excuse me, what is the price of food here?"

The waiter looked up at Ke Muqing and asked, "Take out your sign and take a look."

Ke Muqing didn't know why and asked, "What brand?"

"It's the sign issued in the city. If you are a long-term worker, you will have a permanent residence sign. If you are a settled household, you will have a settlement sign. If you are a merchant passing by temporarily, you will be issued a temporary sign before entering the city." The waiter responded.

"What kind of sign does the price of food have to do with?" Ke Muqing didn't expect that the wooden sign she got from the city could be of such use?

"That's natural." The waiter in the store was very patient. "If it's Changgong brand, this kind of food costs three hundred and fifty cash per catty. If it's settled, it's five hundred and fifty cash per catty. If it's Linpai..."

The waiter raised a finger and said, "One tael of silver per catty."

"What! One tael of silver!" Ke Muqing wanted to poke his ears to see if they were blocked by earwax and heard wrongly.

Co-writing means that she paid three taels of silver for the entrance fee before entering a city?

"If you think it's expensive, don't buy it. After leaving here, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food." The waiter in the store laughed, "It's not uncommon for rich people to die of hunger and thirst these days. Go there. Outside the city, you can’t buy anything even if you have money.”

"That's true." Ke Muqingpi responded with a smile, and then asked, "Then where can I buy water in the city? What is the price of water?"

"If a guest wants to stay at an inn, he will pay twenty taels of silver for a night in the lower room and a bucket of water, fifty taels of silver for a night in the upper room and three buckets of water, and one tael of silver for a night on the main floor. No need to worry about the water. If you want water, just ask for it. Buy it with money, a water bag and a tael of silver."

"If the people in the lower house and the upper house don't have enough water, they can be sold separately for one water bag and one tael of silver."

"We don't care about the food in the inn. If you want to eat, you have to go to the restaurant to make a reservation. The simplest table of two dishes and one soup costs ten taels of silver."

"Auntie, if you don't have enough money to wander around the city, go out quickly. We can only survive in this city if we have money." The waiter in the shop sounded a bit condescending at first, but the more he talked, the more panicked he became.

Although he works here, he still manages to survive on the little food and water provided by his employer.

The waiter's last words were advice and good intentions. Ke Muqing thanked him before leaving.

Just like the waiter said, this city can only survive if it is rich enough.

Ke Muqing went to the nearby cloth shop and asked. The price of cloth was not as outrageous as that of food, but it was much more expensive than when Ke Muqing was in Wangshan Town.

At that time in Wangshan Town, Ke Muqing gave Zheng Qiu Shuang three taels of silver. The cloth Zheng Qiu Shuang bought could be used to make several clothes.

But here, three taels of silver to buy the cheapest kind of cloth is enough to make an adult's clothes.

Seeing the long queue at the grain store, Ke Muqing thought to herself, if she set up a stall here to sell grain and do business, wouldn't she become rich overnight?

Of course, this idea can only be thought of. If she really does this, she will die. Someone will be watching her as soon as the stall is set up.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!" Just as Ke Muqing was immersed in the regret that her dream of getting rich was not feasible, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind her.

Ke Muqing thought she was blocking someone's way, so he stood aside.

But she saw the woman who called her sister-in-law running towards her.

"Sister-in-law! It's really you! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you just now. I was stunned for a long time, and when I realized it, I almost couldn't catch up with my sister-in-law!"

The young woman held Ke Muqing's hand and spoke while her eyes were red and she shed tears.

"I thought I would never see my relatives again in this life, but I didn't expect that God was so kind to me that I met my sister-in-law in Fucheng!"

Ke Muqing stared at the young woman for a long time, and then finally found an identity in the memory of the original owner that was more suitable for this person.

"Third sister?"

Ke Muqing was not sure because the sister-in-law Yang Sanmei still had a young face in the memory of the original owner.

Yang Sanmei was the third child of the Yang family. She married into the Luo family in another town. But when her eldest son was half a year old, the entire Luo family moved away. It is said that Yang Sanmei's husband, Luo Jiasheng, found a good man outside. to make a living, so he moved with his family.

Since then, Yang Sanmei has lost contact with the Yang family. The Yang family doesn't know where Yang Sanmei's family has gone. Something happened to the Yang family, and they don't know where to send funeral messages.

"Sister-in-law, it's me." Yang Sanmei held Ke Muqing's hand tightly with one hand. When Ke Muqing looked at her with disbelief, she slowly raised her other hand and touched her face.

"Sister-in-law, am I too old to recognize you?" Yang Sanmei asked.

Yang Sanmei is at most six years younger than the original owner, and is only thirty-four years old this year. She is about the age of a middle-aged lady, but she has half of her hair gray.

There is no need to ask whether her life has been good these years. The answers are all written on Yang Sanmei's face.

When the original owner first got married, Yang Sanmei was still young, so Yang Sanmei and the original owner's sister-in-law had a very close relationship. When Yang Sanmei got married, there was no trouble in the Yang family, and Yang Sanmei didn't know about the outrageous and annoying things that the original owner did in those years. .

When she first saw Ke Muqing, Yang Sanmei cried so hard that she couldn't stop crying.

"You are old, I look older than your sister-in-law." Ke Muqing stretched out her hand to wipe Yang Sanmei's tears, thinking, is this a mission bonus for her?
Yang Sanmei is also a relative of the Yang family and is also in the work scope.

The better she completes the mission here, the higher the reward will be when she returns to the 21st century.

Ke Muqing also made an intimate gesture to hold Yang Sanmei's hand. After touching it, he discovered that Yang Sanmei had been holding something tightly in her palm.

She looked down and Yang Sanmei realized the look in her eyes and hid her hands behind her back in fear.

Then he quickly diverted Ke Muqing's attention and asked her, "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Why are you alone? How are your parents? How are your brothers? How are my nephews these years? ?”

I guess some Baozi might not remember who Yang Sanmei is.

Yang Daniu has five brothers and sisters.

Boss Yang Daniu

The second eldest, Yang Ermei, died young.
The third youngest, Yang Sanmei, lost contact after getting married.

Soon after the fourth son, Yang Erzhu, joined the army, the government sent news to the Yang family that he died in battle.

Lao Wuyang Sanqing.
