The whole village flees famine and gnaws bark, I have a system to not panic

Chapter 12
Everyone hurried on their way without even eating breakfast. Qin Xinyi took out three pancakes from the bag.

This kind of food is more like ancient food, let the two brothers eat it.

They looked over in surprise, "Mother, when did you do it? I didn't see you getting up to do it this morning."

Qin Xinyi thought for a while and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up to make it. Eat quickly. It's good to have something to eat now."

Although the mountain road is not easy to walk, Qin Xinyi's health is also really bad.

I really didn't expect this body to be so weak after lying down for a few days.

He was probably favored by Feng Tongsheng.

Since I was a teenager, I walked a long way with my nanny, but I haven't walked a long way.

Occasionally, when I go to the county seat, I borrow the village chief's donkey cart to go.

The eldest and the second child can only follow the rhythm of the old lady, stop and go, stop and go.

It took about two hours like this.Only then did I see the gate of the county seat, which said Xiangyang City.

It doesn't look very big, but it is also the largest county town that is relatively close to home.

Qin Xinyi let out a long sigh of relief and finally arrived.He stretched out his hand and beat his old waist, then hurriedly rubbed his sore and swollen legs.

Seeing Qin Xinyi rubbing her legs, the boss hurried forward, "Mom, it's okay, let me rub it for you."

Although she was her own son, Qin Xinyi was not the original owner after all, and it was still hard for her to accept that the boss rubbed her legs.

Quickly moved his legs away, "No need, it's nothing, hurry to the city, we have to go back quickly!"

The eldest saw that his mother was fine, so he urged the second to push the cart to the city gate and queue up.

I saw a lot of people queuing up at the gate of the city, some carrying shoulder poles, some carrying baskets on their backs, moving with heavy steps one by one.Walking towards the county seat.

Originally, Qin Xinyi thought that the city would be very lively.When they entered the gate of the county seat, they saw that everywhere was relatively depressed.

Although there were people walking on the street, they were all in a hurry, without the bustle and bustle of the past.

Qin Xinyi knew that she was not very familiar with the prices in the city. When Feng Tong was born, she didn't care much about these mundane things.

I could only follow the boss into a pawn shop and watch the boss negotiate there.

The shopkeeper scratched his head and said: "Your things are worthless, and now you want to escape from famine, and you want to come here to pawn things, and you'll just keep them there."

The shopkeeper looked at the clothes and quilts on the trolley with distaste, picking and choosing, "The clothes are ten yuan, and the quilt is one hundred yuan for a bed..."

The shopkeeper said while counting with the abacus.

The shopkeeper said, "I'll give you a total of [-] Wen, let's see if it works! Just keep it if you can."

As she spoke, she continued to turn the pages, and suddenly her eyes lit up. Although it only blinked, Qin Xinyi still saw it.

Qin Xinyi followed the shopkeeper's eyes and saw books.It seems that no matter when, books are still more valuable.

The shopkeeper secretly rejoiced: "Your books, if they were in normal times, would be quite valuable, but now they are not worth much. Are they worth it too? If you do it, you can get more."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at the people in front of him.

Looking at Qin Xinyi, there was no trace of wrinkles on her face, she had peach blossom eyes, and her face was slightly pale, but it did not conceal her beauty.

There are no patches on the clothes on his body, so he knows that this is a scholar's home.

Although he was so downcast that he needed a pawn now, he didn't dare to underestimate anyone.

After all, in a pawn shop, the shopkeepers are all smart people, and they won't easily offend people.

The boss subconsciously looked at his mother, and Qin Xinyi felt his gaze.

He pretended to cough and said, "Then let's die. At that time, buying these books was very expensive, and one book was worth a few taels of silver!"

"You don't look old or young anymore. If it wasn't for this age, this book is a family heirloom, who would be willing to sell it!"

Qin Xinyi's expression darkened, pretending to be sad and helpless.

There was a businesslike look on the shopkeeper's face, "I also know that it's not easy for everyone now, and I'm just a shopkeeper, taking care of the shop for others."

"Whoever can help will of course help. Although they are all relatively ordinary books, after all, the things used by this scholar are more expensive."

"I think there are thirty or forty books worth a hundred cents a book, plus those clothes and quilts, and I will give you five taels of silver."

When the boss heard this, he became anxious, "My dad also spent a lot of money to buy these books. I haven't calculated carefully, but I have to have 80 taels of silver. How can I be so stupid. "

The shopkeeper said with a blank expression, "You can't say that. Although books are expensive, you are old books, and you have read them all, and you have learned the knowledge."

"Besides, what time is it now? Who wants books?"

"You can't eat or drink this book, and it's a burden to carry it with you. Everything you can't drink is cheap!"

"It's not right now, we are going to close the door in a few days, so think about it."

It is said that this Xinglong pawn shop has branches all over the country.

They collected cheap items here, good ones could be shipped elsewhere and sold at a good price, but would he tell them that?
Of course not, this is what they do, and this is what they earn.

There are too many people in the store, and the servants can't take care of them.After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went to do other things.

The boss looked at Qin Xinyi helplessly.

Qin Xinyi sighed, and said in a low voice, "Boss should be the boss. There is no other way. Seeing that the shopkeeper is busy there and doesn't care, it seems that it is useless to talk about it. Let's take it all."

Otherwise, as the shopkeeper said, they will close in a few days. It would be a burden for us to carry it at that time, and it would be a pity not to carry it.Let me talk about it later, and try again to see if I can be more. "

Qin Xinyi took the time when the shopkeeper had just sent away a customer, and went up to talk to her, "Shopkeeper, these books are really not cheap, and many of them are rare copies."

"Look, this is the current year. Otherwise, these good things are reluctant to be taken. They are all treasures that can be passed down to the family!"

"It's not for survival. Who would be willing to take these books. They were smuggled out to avoid his father, otherwise it would be terrible if his father found out."

Qin Xinyi opened her eyes and said nonsense, "Do you think this is okay? If you make a step, I will take a step back. These clothes, quilts, shoes and hats are all new.

"These quilts are all new cotton that has just been renewed. You can't buy a quilt without a tael of silver, and the sum is not too old or young."

Qin Xinyi looked at the shopkeeper with pitiful eyes.

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Of course it was expensive when you bought it. I also saw that your quilt is indeed very new. It is an old thing."

"These things are not easy to carry. It's at this time. Who wants them? I've bought food to save my life. Go to the food store and see that the queue is getting old."

Qin Xinyi kept talking nice things out, just like this, coming and going with the shopkeeper.

Finally, after talking for a long time, the price of five taels of silver plus eight hundred wen was sold.

The boss and the second child stared at each other dumbfounded. Since when did their mothers be able to talk like that, blah blah blah, blah blah, pawned so much money.

Of course, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop is not a fool, he has a reserve price in his heart.

They can sell these things for 50 taels of silver as soon as they change hands, which is quite a bargain.

It's just that at this time, of course, it can be lowered as low as it can be.
