Chapter 48

Obscure Moon never expected that the thirty tubes of bamboo salt were sold out in half an hour.

The scene can be said to be very hot.

Originally, she was worried that the people here would not get used to other salts, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.

"Hey, hey, it's a lot of silver."

Obscure Moon held the more than 30 taels of silver and smiled from ear to ear.

Although there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry moved from the Duke's Mansion in her space, she still feels that the 30 taels of silver are more important.

After all, this money is earned by everyone through labor and sweat, so it is even more precious and practical to use.

This is her first pot of gold, which is very commemorative!
Since it is of commemorative significance, Ozuki immediately decided that she would use the money to go around Changchun City, eat, drink and have fun.

Because it was agreed at the beginning that if they made money, the Obscure Moon family would take [-]% of it, and the remaining [-]% would be shared equally by other families.

Now that there are more than 30 taels of silver, the Obscure Moon family can get nine taels, and each other family can get about three taels.

One tael of silver is about 1000 yuan in RMB, and three taels of silver is 3000 yuan.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, earning 3000 yuan a day is a lot of money for any family.

Erya brother Xu Wei has been giggling since the moment he got the money.

It was the first time he had made so much money as a peddler for so many years.

He can finally buy new clothes for A Niang and his younger sister, and he can hire someone to build a house. The family no longer has to suffer from hunger and cold!
"It's only 30 taels of silver. Look at how stupid you two are, smiling like goose-headed geese." Xu Jingyang squinted his eyes, crossed his arms and said mockingly, "Oh, you're so useless."

"Oh, well, since daddy doesn't care about this small amount of money, then daddy's three taels of silver will be free." Luyue snorted, and then walked forward at a pace that her relatives did not recognize.

"Well, this is not enough, I just joked." When he heard that his pocket money was gone, Xu Jingyang was in a hurry, and he quickly picked up Haoyue in his arms.

Obscure Moon is now his finance minister, and of course the finance minister has to coax her well.

Xu Jingyang pinched Miyue's face with a smile: "Hehe, Yue'er, don't be angry, Father just said nonsense, go, I'll take you to a fun place."

Mizuki's small face was serious: "No, I'm going to the street to sweep the goods."

"Sweep the goods? What do you mean by sweep the goods?" Xu Jingyang had a question mark on his face, and some inexplicable words would always pop out of his little daughter's mouth.

"Sweeping, it's crazy shopping!" As soon as shopping was mentioned, a smile appeared on Ozuki's face.

Sure enough, shopping and hoarding is a woman's nature.

Next, Xu Wei went to buy cloth for A Niang and his younger sister, while Ozuki and Xu Jingyang started a shopping spree on the street.

They are also people with money around them now, their waists are straight, and they walk with wind.

In Dayuan, except for salt, silk, and tea, which are relatively expensive, other daily necessities, vegetables and grains are relatively cheap.

Ten coins can buy ten eggs, six steamed buns, five pancakes, and half a jug of wine.

And if there are people in the family who have joined the army, they can get discounts when shopping.

Obscure Moon nodded, and had to say, this Yuan Wang is a character, many ideas are very advanced.

The prices of goods in the West Market are relatively cheap, and Ozuki, who holds a huge sum of money, wants to clear the entire street in minutes.

"Osmanthus cake~ sweet and soft, freshly baked osmanthus cake~"

A yell brought a tangy sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.

Ozuki sniffed: "Wow, it smells so good, I haven't had dessert for a long time."

Songji Dessert Shop is a century-old brand. The pastries in the shop are unique in Changchun City, and the price is very affordable.

As soon as Ozuki walked into the store, she felt as if her whole body was wrapped in a layer of sweetness.

It feels like staying longer, even the clothes and hair will be stained with the aroma of honey and sweet-scented osmanthus.

"Little guest, this is a new feature of our shop, bean paste and honey sweet-scented osmanthus cake, two pieces to try?" The store greeted attentively, and then took a small piece of shiny osmanthus cake and handed it to Lu Yue.

Hazy Moon tried a piece, the mouth was soft and sweet, the bean paste was delicate and rich, the combination of slightly astringent osmanthus and sweet honey was just right.

Take a bite, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus and the sweetness of honey spread in the mouth at the same time, sweet and soft but not sticky, and the taste is fine and dense.

It's even more delicious than the desserts in the Duke's Mansion. It's a century-old brand, and it really lives up to its reputation.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this sweet-scented osmanthus cake?" Ozuki licked her sticky fingers, and then asked, "My father is a military member, can it be cheaper?"

Shopkeeper: "Hey, originally it was five pennies a piece of pastry, but if it is from a military household, the pastry is three pennies a piece. If it is a military household with an official position, it is one penny and one piece."

After hearing this, Ozuki was very surprised, how could the military households offer such a great discount?
No wonder Dad ran to the city twice in three days. It turned out that it was because of professional preferential treatment.

Hmph, no wonder he couldn't spend all the military pay in his hand.

Going further inside, I saw a variety of cakes on the tables in the store, including the soft, glutinous and sweet purple taro cake, the sweet and sour crystal hawthorn cake, the crispy and crunchy asparagus cake, and the mellow and soft mung bean cake. Butterfly crisps, golden and attractive pumpkin seed rolls, and more than a dozen kinds of dessert fruits.

Ozuki, who likes to eat sweets, has bright eyes. There are so many desserts, I can't be too happy!And it's so cheap!
Obscure Moon said happily: "Shopkeeper, there are ten cakes here, pack them all up and take them away!"

She's going to take these pastries home for a meal!
"Okay~" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and smiled happily.

There are ten boxes of pastries, but only one hundred Wen.

Dad's "farming school lieutenant" is also an official position, and the purchase is rounded up to [-]% off. This military registration is more fragrant than the Beijing registration!

Obscure Moon, who tasted the sweetness of the discount, was so happy that she immediately started the shopping mode.

This discount is really crazy and top-notch!
rice?Buy it for one hundred stone!

cornmeal?Directly resist ten bags!
soybeans?For this need, twenty bags first!
cloth?No, just get me the ready-to-wear!No one will do it when you take it home.

Satsuma?Big blood orange?Milk jujube?Move five baskets back and share them with everyone!

Rouge gouache is so cheap?One color number comes in one box!Auntie must look good when painted!
Winter cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded quilts, cotton-padded jackets, cotton-padded boots, and cloaks are like seven or eight pieces to wear!
Buy one of the same household basins, spittoons, bath beans, wooden barrels, benches, and desks!
"Yue'er! Yue'er! Don't buy it, don't buy it, the donkey cart can't even fit it!" Xu Jingyang hurriedly grabbed Ozuki who was directing the store to move the goods.

Mizuki turned his head to look.

It really is!A hill has been built on the donkey cart.

The little donkey was so tired that he was wheezing.

Did you accidentally buy something like this?

But she didn't spend even two taels of silver in her hand
If it wasn't for her space skills being unusable now, she would still be able to buy two more carts.

Looking at the hazy moon, Xu Jingyang shook his head, it seems that whether it is a woman or a female doll, it is crazy to buy things.

Xu Jingyang pulled Yuyue's little hand, showing a very puzzled expression: "Yue'er, you can buy other things, but you are still so young, why do you buy those rouge and gouache?"

Obscure Moon: "?"

Xu Jingyang's words confused Ouyue Wen.

Obscure Moon tilted her head, showing an expression of how could you ask such a stupid question.

"Those rouge powders are of course bought for Auntie."

"Pfft..." Xu Jingyang seemed to have heard something very funny: "I'll bet you ten times that your mother won't even take a look at those rouge powders."

"Hmph, you know what a pippi shrimp, there is no woman in this world who doesn't love beauty, it's just that she has no choice!" Lu Yue put on a serious face, turned her head away, and ignored Xu Jingyang.

"Huh? How do you talk to the emperor? Do you want to be beaten?" Xu Jingyang clenched his fists pretendingly.

"Slightly slightly slightly" Ozuki made a grimace, and then ran away.

Head-on, Ozuki bumped into Xu Wei who was back from buying cloth and food.

I saw Xu Wei with two bags of rice on his right shoulder and a few pieces of cloth in his left hand, with a cheerful look on his face.

"Huh? You just bought such a little thing?" Ozuki asked in surprise.

"Uh" Xu Wei scratched his head: "Is there anything else I need to buy? There is nothing to buy at home, right?"

Obscure Moon: "Uh, maybe."

Seeing that the sun was gradually moving towards the west, and it was getting late, they had to rush out of the city gate before the city gate closed, and the rest of the Xu family were eagerly looking forward to their return home.

Obscure Moon and his party returned home with a full load today. They sold 30 taels of silver and bought a donkey cart full of goods. The goods were piled up like a hill.

Just when several people were about to drive away from the market, a skinny old man with ragged clothes and shaggy hair suddenly stopped them.

The old man was extremely thin, with slender limbs, and there was probably no flesh on his body. The folds on his face were full of dirt and dirt, and he looked like a beggar.

Xu Wei took a few pies from the burden behind him and gave them to the old man. He knew what it was like to be hungry.

But the old man waved his hand and whispered, "I'm not a beggar, I have a good thing here, do you want to buy it?"

As he said that, the thin old man picked up a bamboo basket from the ground next to it. The bamboo basket was covered with a piece of cloth, so he couldn't see what was inside.

This skinny old man has been following Ozuki and his party for a long time. When he saw Ozuki who was shopping without blinking an eye, he knew that this was a big customer.

And this big customer will definitely buy his things, he is very confident in his goods.

"Little baby, little baby, come here, I'll show you something." The skinny old man waved to Misty Moon.

Xu Jingyang was worried about Miyue, so he hugged her and got out of the car together.

As the skinny old man slowly lifted the cloth cover, Ozuki also saw the things inside the bamboo basket.

"My God!"

Obscure Moon let out an admiration.

I saw four or five snow-white furries squeezed into the small bamboo basket, and the eyes of a few furries were still ice blue.

Because a stranger was approaching, the little ones in the basket all made whimpering noises.

"Wow, what a cute little milk dog." Ozuki poked the dog's chubby body with her hand.

The thin old man shook his head, then smiled mysteriously at Misty Moon: "Little baby, this is not a dog, but a direwolf cub."

"Icefield wolf cubs?" Obscure Moon was startled after hearing this, and then lost interest in an instant.

Such a cute little guy is actually a wolf
Wolves are unfamiliar. It is very difficult to domesticate wolves like dogs. When they grow up, they can easily threaten the lives of their owners.

Hearing that the basket contained wolves, Xu Jingyang also frowned: "Take it away, we don't buy this stuff."

The skinny old man sighed: "Hey, man, why don't you know the goods? This direwolf cub is a rare commodity. The direwolf is extremely intelligent and understands human nature. When raised from a young age, it will recognize its master."

Obscure Moon also looked embarrassed: "We haven't even raised a dog, let alone a wolf."

However, these little guys are really cute, white and fluffy, with round heads and beautiful ice blue eyes.

But it's a pity that wolves are wild and difficult to tame, so it's better not to ask for trouble.

"Where did you get this direwolf cub?" Xu Jingyang suddenly frowned and asked.

This is the Central Plains area. Even if there are wolves, they are the kind of big bad wolves. This kind of direwolf from the extremely cold area is really rare. It is hard to imagine that a person dressed as a beggar can own such a rare thing.

"Quickly tell me! Where did you get this dire wolf cub? Could it be that you are a spy who sneaked in from outside?" Xu Jingyang raised his eyebrows, his expression was cold, and he spoke loudly.

The skinny old man was taken aback by Xu Jingyang's sudden outburst: "Oh, how could I be a spy. You have such a big hat, my ancestors are from Hebei."

"Don't play tricks on me. I am a lieutenant colonel. Now you are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. I have the right to escort you to the army!"

Xu Jingyang's prestige burst out, and the old man backed away in fright: "No, I'm really not"

"Then explain clearly the origin of this wolf cub." Xu Jing pressed on step by step.

From the very beginning, he noticed that the old man's eyes had been evasive, and now he was ambiguous, and there must be something wrong in his heart.

"I, I..." The skinny old man had already started to tremble, and he couldn't speak fluently.

Originally, he saw that the family was generous, so it would be easy to buy two cute pets for his daughter, and this direwolf was really rare.

Who knew that not only did they not want him, but they also asked him to explain the origin of the wolf cub and called him a spy.

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm not a spy. My family has lived in Hebei for generations. If you don't buy it, forget it!"

After speaking, the old man put away the basket and wanted to run.

Before turning around, Xu Jingyang grabbed his arm.

The skinny old man: "What are you doing? I haven't broken any law. Why don't you let me go!"

Xu Jingyang yelled: "You still say you haven't broken the law? If you sell things without a goods license, you have to go back to the yamen to hit the [-] boards again, and then pay the license fee of [-] yuan."

When the people next to him heard Xu Jingyang's shout, they also turned their heads to look at the old man.

The skinny old man was also dumbfounded, after all he really didn't have a cargo license.

Seeing that the crowd was about to gather around, the old man quickly had an idea: "I won't sell this wolf cub, I'll give it to you, okay?"

After finishing speaking, the old man immediately stuffed the bamboo basket into Ozuki's arms, then turned around and ran away.

???

what's going on?
Obscure Moon looked at the old man who ran away in a panic, and at the five direwolf cubs in the basket.

For a moment, two big eyes stared at ten small eyes.
