The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 17 Jiazhou Sells Beads
On the night of the second day of junior high school, I saw Hei Wa who was devouring it in the space. It seems that he didn't have time to steal food on New Year's Eve.

Listening to Cuihua's talk about bandits entering the village, Heiwa's face is very bad.

"Where are there so many bandits with full weapons? Why don't they rob wealthy households in the county? How much money do the villagers have?"

"That's not true, I feel puzzled. Our village is not considered well-off nearby. How much money can the upper and lower villages add up to grab? How can bandits with horses and mule carts care about it? This seems not easy .”

Hei Wa, who was spinning in circles, was scratching her hair. Men like conspiracy theories when they read things, and they always like to talk about politics. Women's focus is completely different and they are still thinking about how to spend their money.

"Daughter-in-law, listen to me. I think Qing County may be in chaos. We are now fighting with King Lu. Some time ago, I don't know why King Lu went crazy and troubled our Shu army. King Shu didn't know What's wrong with holding back, in this chaotic world, you should first find a way to exchange more gold and silver, and then you have to prepare food, and if there is chaos, you must be prepared to run away at any time!"

"So serious?" "Plan for the worst!" Hugging Heiwa, Cuihua choked with sobs: "You have to do what you should, we don't want to get promoted and get rich, life is the most important thing!" Heiwa smiled wryly, sometimes history The wheel will not allow you to dog.

All the pharmacies in the space will be sorted out, categorized, and pasted in boxes.Whenever she has time, Cuihua keeps picking eggs, boiling them and peeling their shells. This kind of food with little taste and nutrition is the most convenient choice right now, and that's all she can do for Hei Wa.

In the early morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Father Hu appeared at Lao Yuan's house with snow and fog on his forehead, and told his family members that Cuihua and Father Hu drove out of the village in a mule cart.

To go east to Jiazhou, you have to pass through Qingxian, Maliu and Maoxian counties, start early in the morning, and arrive when the city gate is about to close.Old man Hu drove the mule cart to a big cart shop, which was said to be opened by an acquaintance of the old man. Anyway, old man Hu is a mountain crafter, he can get along with anyone, and he is a social bully.

Listening to the old man greeting the shopkeeper familiarly, he opened two medium-sized rooms, and asked Cuihua to call his uncle to make him familiar, and then left the old man here to talk to the acquaintances, and Cuihua asked for it for herself and her father. After eating and drinking, go back to the room and sleep without mentioning it.

The next day, after waking up, the two of them wandered to Jiazhou's largest Zhenbao Pavilion, which was the most reliable jewelry store in Jiazhou.

Cuihua was quite satisfied that the clerk didn't lose face because of the commoner clothes of the father and daughter. Father Hu whispered a few words to the clerk and was taken to the private room on the second floor.A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper walked in with a smile: "What is the business of two distinguished guests coming to this shop?" Exchange some money at your shop."

Father Hu was very excited when he saw his daughter's colorful pearls yesterday. My daughter has made a fortune this time, so I don't have to worry about her being hungry anymore.As for how much money can be exchanged, he has no idea, after all, he has never seen this thing before, and he doesn't know how to do it.

Cuihua was speechless, so she could only take out the purse containing pearls and put it on the table in the private room.Yo, still know how to do it.

When the shopkeeper saw Cuihua's movements, he couldn't hand over valuables to prevent them from being damaged and shirk responsibility.Feeling a little downhearted, people should not be judged by appearances, and when I picked up the purse from the table and opened it, my hands almost trembled.Such a precious bead is packed so casually in such a simple purse, what a waste of money!

I found a special plate for jewelry, put a piece of black flannel on it, carefully poured the beads on it, checked each one carefully, and compared the size of the beads with clips.

After a long while, the shopkeeper said, "I don't know how much you two want to price." Cuihua gave Father Hu a wink, and said, "Everyone says that the treasure house is innocent, so I don't know how much the shopkeeper is asking? We will sell it sincerely!"

The shopkeeper stroked his beard for a while, "They are all honest people, and I won't cheat you, 200 taels. Although colorful beads are rare, the world will be bad, and more people still rare gold and silver!" "Let's make it up, 1500 Two, sell them all to you!" "Deal!"

When paying, Cuihua asked to exchange 1300 taels of silver into 13 gold ingots weighing 10 taels. The ratio of gold to silver in the Great Xia Dynasty was 1:10, and the remaining 200 taels were exchanged for 20 silver ingots. Cuihua randomly put the ingots into the bag, and the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched.

After leaving the Zhenbao Pavilion, Cuihua and Father Hu whispered a few words, and then moved separately. Father Hu squeezed towards the crowded place, Cuihua walked in the alley in the opposite direction, as expected, there was a tail, and the two masters flung themselves around the city. After dropping the tail, go to the big car shop to gather.Not going anywhere, check out and leave.

After driving the mule cart to Mao County in one breath, the two breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they would have to buy a lot of things to prepare this time, Cuihua asked to stay in Mao County for one night.This time I found a very secluded inn, opened a room, and rested first.

After dinner, the father and daughter discussed quietly in the room, and Cuihua pushed three gold ingots to Father Hu, "What are you doing? Your father, I can still ask for your travel expenses!"

"Father! Don't push it, just listen to me!" Cuihua said solemnly.

"Look at what happened last year. Who knows what will happen this year? What if it doesn't rain this year? And these bandits are strange, and the victims have all come to our mountains. If there is chaos, Don't you need to make more preparations?"

Father Hu knew very well that what his daughter said was probably true, but he would not give up if he was asked to take her daughter's money.

"It's this time, what are you still worried about? I killed the bandits, I got the beads, and I traded for the gold. Now I am the head of the old Yuan's family!"

Looking at the domineering daughter, Father Hu's eyes were slightly red. He never thought that he would be able to enjoy the glory of a daughter. "Hey, good, good! I'm done with my daughter! My daughter is filial!"

"Just wait, where is this going, you and my mother have to live well, wait for me to honor you!"

"Hey, you still remember what you said when you were a child, I am a blessed old man!"
