Chapter 13： Purchasing in the city

Chapter 13 Procurement in cities

Only when he was three hundred meters away from the city gate, he was stopped by soldiers stationed outside the city.

Zhou Lizheng stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and then came back to inform others.

Zhou Lizheng said: "The soldiers at the gate of the city said that martial law is now in place. If you want to enter the city to buy things, each person will be charged five taels of silver to enter the city, and we will only be allowed to stay here for an hour at most. After an hour, everyone must leave, otherwise They came after us themselves."

The crowd suddenly exploded.

Five taels of silver, not many of them have it.

Besides, five taels of silver can buy a lot of food, even if they have it, they are reluctant to part with it.

"Forget it, I won't go in, I don't have that much money."

"I still have some food with me, let's talk about it after I finish eating."

"Pick some wild vegetables on the road and eat them."

“But we adults can take it, kids can’t.”

…

Yang Ruolan looked at her daughter, she knew that her daughter had ten taels of silver on her body, and she didn't know if she would go in.

Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows. It seems that King Yong really didn't care about the life and death of the people, and the entry fee of five taels of silver can really be said.

Seeing that some people wanted to go in but were very embarrassed, she raised her hand and said, "How about listening to my suggestion?"

She now has thirty taels of silver on her body, and she has ten taels on the surface. She must go in to buy food.

If she went in alone and bought food and came out, she would definitely be watched, so it's better to let everyone go in together.

Zhou Lizheng said: "Ashan, what can you do?"

Nangong Anshan said: "Now everyone doesn't have much food, how about this? If you are reluctant to pay five taels of silver at a time, you can pool the money with five or ten households, let one person go in, and take what everyone needs. If you have a cart, lend it to that person, so that everyone can save a lot of money.”

Tai Le boy said: "Help people give advice, add one merit value, total merit three, add one drop of holy spirit water."

Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect that it would add merit.

The people who heard it nodded in agreement, this is indeed more economical.

Five households contribute money, and that household needs to contribute one tael of silver.

Ten households contribute money, and that household only needs to contribute 500 copper coins.

If there are more people, it costs less.

Zhou Lizheng said: "I think this method is feasible, everyone should discuss it by themselves."

…

Yang Ruolan saw her daughter returning to her side, and asked, "Ashan, do you want to go in?"

"Well, you and the third brother are weak, and your siblings are still young, and there is still a long way to go from King Li's fief, so we still need to eat better."

"Then listen to you."

Nangong Anshan does not plan to partner with others, so that she can buy more things and be more free. After all, she still has things in her space.

She also went to ask the second uncle's family if she needed to bring something out, and heard that they had enough food, so she didn't force them.

After Cao Zhenya waited for Nangong Anshan to come back, she was very embarrassed and said: "Ashan, my aunt has five hundred copper coins here, can I ask you to bring some things out? Just buy the worst rice, only ten catties. But Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain, after you go in, I will try my best to guard your family."

Nangong Anshan took the money and said with a smile: "Aunt Cao, don't be too polite, then it's settled, my family will entrust you during this period, if anyone wants to bully them, you have to tell me, I will greet them family."

"it is good."

Nangong Anshan talked a few words with her family members, and seeing that some people had already entered the city, she asked her family members to get off the cart, carried Yang Ruolan down as well, pushed the cart, and planned to go in alone.

There are soldiers everywhere here, I believe Qiu and the others will not make any big disturbances.

It's just that Qiu Shi saw Nangong Anshan planning to go in, and immediately came to her.

Nangong Anshan said: "Is there something wrong?"

Qiu said: "You want to go in? That's just right, bring out five... ten sets of clothes for your cousins, and ten pairs of shoes. I'll give you money when you come back."

Nangong Anshan gave her a blank look, "Do you see the words "I am wronged" written on my face? You will give me the money, and the sun will come out from the west immediately. By the way, after I leave, Aunt Cao will help me keep an eye on her. Now, after I leave, if you dare to bully my family, I will deal with your daughter and granddaughter when I come back, if you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

After she finished speaking, she ignored Qiu Shi, and walked towards the gate of the city pushing the cart.

Qiu stomped her feet angrily, and had no choice but to return to her family.

Dai Yingying hoped: "Grandma, how is it? Did she agree?"

Qiu said: "That **** girl won't listen to grandma, but don't worry, the entry fee for the next city will definitely be cheaper, and grandma will buy it for you in person."

Dai Yingying looked at A Niang aggrievedly upon hearing the words.

Nangong Miao said: "Hey, I'll go and see the shoes of your brothers and sisters, and let them change with you."

It's just that she went around for a while, and the other people's shoes were not as good as Dai Yingying's at this time, so she had to give up the idea of ​​grabbing shoes.

Dai Yingying suddenly thought of something, and said a few words in Qiu's ear.

Qiu shook her head: "Not for the time being, that dead girl told me just now that if I dare to trouble her family, she will clean up you and your sisters, she can do it, but you still want to put a dagger on it on your neck?"

Dai Yingying shrank her neck, and had no choice but to quiet down.

…

After Nangong Anshan entered the city, she didn't go to the grain store for the time being, but walked to the clothing store not far away.

According to memory, it is now the fifth day of March, and the weather is still a bit cold. They came out in a hurry and didn't even bring a change of clothes, so she had to go in and buy two sets of clothes for each of them, as well as two pairs of shoes.

Now I have to walk too much every day, it is really a waste of shoes.

Out of the clothing store, she saw a snack shop next to her, so she went to buy some sweets and snacks for her younger siblings.

Seeing umbrellas, coir raincoats and tarpaulins on the side of the road, she also bought some.

Beside the grain store, she asked the umbrella seller to help her watch the cart, and then went to the grain store with her burden on her back.

Looking at the price tag, she was very glad to have confiscated Liu Dashan's twenty taels of silver.

First-grade rice now costs 50 jin a catty, and the worst third-grade rice costs 30 jin a jin, and each person can only buy 50 jin of rice at most.

The man saw a child coming, and said: "Let your adults buy it, you have such a small physique, you can't take it away even if you buy it."

Nangong Anshan was not angry when she heard the words, she took two small ingots of two taels from her bosom, and said with a smile, "I can do it, but is this just your grain store?"
