Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 663 They have to take care of this matter

The handsome man selling holy water asked them politely, "You two, how much do you want to buy?"

Yue Lingzhi has been observing them for a while, and found that they have a really good temper.

All the people who came to buy holy water, no matter how much they bought or how little they bought, treated them equally, with the same tone and the same expression.

Handsome men and beautiful women work together in a division of labor. The handsome man is responsible for explaining and collecting money, and the beautiful woman is responsible for filling the water.

Gu Zheng took out an empty water bag and indicated that he would fill it up.

The handsome man immediately quoted the price: "A catty of holy water is 100 taels of silver, and your empty water bag can hold a little more than a catty."

Gu Zheng looked at him without saying a word, to see if he could rely on visual inspection to know how much his empty water bag could hold?
Because they are quite strange, they sell water by the catty, but there is no scale on the spot.

Explain that they are all based on visual inspection.

The handsome man asked him politely again: "Excuse me, sir, is it your first time to buy?"

Gu Zheng nodded slightly: "It's the first time."

The handsome man smiled and said, "There is a discount for the first purchase. If you fill up your empty water bag, you will be charged a total of 100 taels of silver."

Gu Zheng deliberately took out a thousand tael silver note.

The handsome man who sold the holy water didn't change his expression. He accepted the 1000 taels and gave Gu Zheng 900 taels.

A local aunt at the back turned her head to discuss with her man: "As I said, holy water is quite expensive. You see, it costs 100 taels of silver to fill an empty water bag. We only buy ten taels of silver. If it’s less than half a bowl, it’s better to buy all the money you have.”

Her man's face is not very good: "If we buy all of them, our family will really have no money. This is the money from all the food."

The aunt also loves money very much, but she loves her son even more.

"However, if you don't buy more holy water, your son's illness may not be cured. We work hard to make money, isn't it for our son?"

The man sighed and took out all the money in the bag, while the couple slowly counted.

Yue Lingzhi and Gu Zheng didn't understand the local dialect very well, and they didn't fully understand what the aunt and her man said.

But I probably know that they took all their belongings to buy this holy water.

Judging by their clothes, they are obviously not very rich, but they are willing to spend all their belongings to buy holy water.

These people selling holy water have seriously disrupted the normal life of the people.

Therefore, they must take care of this matter.

Yue Lingzhi saw that there were local men who could speak several languages, and they were doing work. Their work was equivalent to modern translators or tour guides.

She took a piece of broken silver that weighed about half a tael, and gave it to one of the young men.

The young man was very happy, and asked Yue Lingzhi in broken Mandarin: "What do you need to know? Or where are you going, do you need me to show you the way, do you want me to take you there?"

Yue Lingzhi could understand what he said.

"How much does it cost to hire you for a day?"

The young man was even happier when he saw that Yue Lingzhi was a big customer.

"One tael of silver is enough."

"No matter what you ask, as long as I know, I can tell you, no matter where you are going, I can take you there."

Yue Lingzhi readily gave him a tael of silver.

"Hire one day and try it out."

When a young man gets the silver, he can be described as extremely excited.

"Thank you for your trust! I promise I won't let you down."

"My name is Asangma."

Yue Lingzhi nodded: "A Sang Ma, this name is easy to remember."

She pointed at Gu Zheng: "My elder brother's surname is Gu, you can call him Boss Gu from now on, my surname is Yue, you can call him Xiaoyue."
