About two hours later, they finally arrived at the gate of the county town.

There are not many people going in and out of the city gate. It is desolate everywhere now. It is not time to really flee the famine yet, and everyone is still enduring it.

They were reluctant to leave their homes and were waiting for a heavy rain.

However, they were also happy that it was snowing. It was so cold and no one went out. Everyone was busy collecting snow at home.

There was no entrance fee at the city gate, and even the gatekeeper had disappeared into nowhere place.

Shi Tou and Qin Yue took them into the city. Someone knew where the pawnshop was and pointed the way, so they went straight there.

Qin Yue handed a cloth bag to Shitou and whispered, "Put it as this."

"What?"

"A jade bracelet is worth several thousand taels. Let's see how much it can be pawned for."

Shitou curled his lips and said, "It's good enough to be worth two hundred taels."

"Oh, it's so dark."

"All pawnshops are like this. Otherwise, why do they say that pawnshops are the most profitable business? They make a lot of money with a small investment. If you flip the business, you can make dozens of times more. They are designed to rip people off."

"Well, those who can pawn things in a pawn shop are usually from poor families, without power or influence."

"What if it's lower than this?"

"Pawn, buy the food first, and then I will clean out the pawnshop after I get the silver."

"Hey, it's the same old thing again."

"This is the best form of revenge. It's more painful than killing them all."

"It's time to punish those who drink the blood of the people."

After a while, the group arrived at the most prosperous area of ​​the county. Unfortunately, that was only in the past. Now, there are people, but not many.

Seeing the word "dang", Shitou gritted his teeth and led them inside. The place was not very big, but it was made like a prison, with a fence on top and a counter at the bottom. People stood in front, with just over their heads showing.

There was a man inside. When he saw someone coming to pawn something, he just glanced at them. Seeing that the stone had no patches on it, his tone softened a little.

"What do you want to be?"

"A jade bracelet of excellent quality, passed down from my ancestors."

"Hand it over and let me see."

Shi Tou and Qin Yue looked at each other, and he handed the cloth bag over. The man inside opened it and his eyes lit up immediately. He looked through it carefully, but said lightly.

"One hundred taels."

Shitou naturally would not agree directly. He saw the light in the man's eyes, so he took advantage of the situation and snatched the jade bracelet and cloth bag back.

"No, I won't sell it. I have thousands of taels of stuff, but you only give me a hundred taels. Go ahead and rob me."

The people inside were not in a hurry: "We are the only pawnshop in the city now. If you don't pawn your things, you will have nowhere else to pawn them."

"Humph, I'm looking for a wife from a wealthy family. If I like her, I'll definitely give her more than you can give me."

Upon hearing this, the person inside became a little restless. He quickly leaned against the counter, put his head against the fence, and spoke.

"Then how much do you want?"

Shitou held up a finger and said, "One thousand taels. If that doesn't work, then we can find someone else to sell it to. It's not just the pawnshop that can make money."

"Two hundred taels, if you don't want to sell it, forget it."

Shitou immediately pulled Qin Yue out, and the people inside shouted, "Three hundred taels, three hundred taels, it can't be higher. These days, food is hard to buy. Now many people are selling this."

"Good things are easy to sell. My jade bracelet will definitely be chosen by the lady of a wealthy family. It's only one thousand taels. Take it or not."

When Shitou was pulling Qin Yue out of the door, someone inside was shouting.

"Come back, I'll buy it, I'll buy it."

"No notes, cash."

"Yes, yes, both."

Finally, Shitou, smiling, holding a cloth bag, led everyone out of the pawnshop.

Qin Yue gave him a thumbs up and he laughed happily.

The six villagers who followed them swallowed their saliva when they saw that they had sold the goods for 1,000 taels of silver. This amount of silver was enough for them to live on for many years.

So, the group came to the grain shop again and saw people queuing in front of the door to buy grain. Shi Tou went up to ask about the price of the grain.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this grain?"

"Five hundred coins a pound of corn stubble, nothing else. In a few days, the price will go up."

Shitou couldn't help cursing, "Damn it, it's so expensive, are you going to let me live?"

The shopkeeper snorted, "Most places in Shang are suffering from drought right now. The imperial court is sending people to other countries to buy food. Otherwise, everyone will starve to death. It's the same wherever you flee to. If you want to buy, you have to queue up. Each person can only buy 50 kilograms at most. No more will be sold."

Fortunately, he brought six people, plus two people, eight people in total, who could buy 400 kilograms of grain. 400 kilograms is 200 taels, which in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could buy tens of thousands of kilograms of grain. He was in trouble.

Shitou led the crowd and lined up at the back, and all eight of them lined up.

Just then, an old woman who was waiting in line suddenly fainted on the ground. Qin Yue hurried over and secretly took her pulse.

She is hungry, she sighed, quietly took out a pill and fed it into the old woman's mouth. After a while, she woke up.

Seeing himself falling to the ground, he remembered that he must have fainted, and hurriedly said to Qin Yue.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Since you want to thank me, then do me a favor. I won't ask you for help in vain. One person can only buy 50 kilograms of food. You can find a number of people for me. After buying the food, I will give you 10 kilograms. How about that?"

"Really, really?"

"Of course it's true. Are you from the city?"

"Yes, my whole family has not eaten for two days. I pawned my silver bracelet to buy some food, but I saw that it was only enough to buy a few pounds."

"Then I'll give you 20 kilograms. You don't have to pay any more. Just make up the number of people."

"This is a great favor that I cannot thank you enough for. I will keep it in my heart. As long as you get through this, I will go to the temple to burn incense and pray for you."

"You're welcome. Come on, get in line."

Half an hour later, it was finally their turn. Shitou bought his share and stood aside to pay. Nine people bought 450 kilograms.

Qin Yue asked the old woman to hold the bag and directly poured half a bag for her.

I was so moved that I knelt down to Qin Yue and said, "Thank you. With this food and the snow, we can survive for a month. Looking at the sky, we should be able to recover. You are our family's savior."

"The price of food will drop soon, and the imperial court should send people to help. Wait."

"Hey, hey."

Qin Yue was afraid that the old lady would be robbed, so he sent two villagers to escort her, and they were waiting opposite the grain store.

It took a while for the villagers to come back.

Their hearts were heavy, and they whispered, "Where she lives, everyone is like her, worse off than us villagers. Alas! If there is no food, they will starve to death in a few days."

Qin Yue asked softly: "Should we carry it back or hire a car?"

"We have the strength to carry it. We don't want to waste that money."

Even though they knew that this was the food for the couple and there was no share for them, they did not complain. Instead, they thought about saving money for them everywhere.

You can buy this with two hundred taels of silver. Even if you sell it for one thousand taels, you can only buy four times of grain.

Qin Yue silently gave a thumbs up to these kind-hearted men in her heart.

When they came, they didn't walk fast, but when they went back, each of them walked faster, carrying 50 kilograms of corn stubble.

Qin Yue carried the lightest bag of flour, and gave half of it to the old woman.

The snow still didn't stop. After leaving the county, they walked on the official road. The snow was almost up to their knees. No one had eaten, except Qin Yue and his wife. Their stomachs were rumbling the whole time.

Shitou took out a few steamed buns from his arms and gave one to each of them.

"Eat, or you'll have no strength."

The six men's eyes turned red and they said thank you quickly. They ate as they walked. Although it was just steamed corn bread, it was the most delicious thing they had ever eaten in their lives.

Of course, this was steamed by Xiao Lan using his mind. The corn flour is very delicate and sugar is added. It is also produced in space, so it must be delicious.

So they returned to the village when it was dark. The village chief and his men had been guarding the entrance of the village, fearing that they would cause trouble. When he saw them coming back, he wiped his tears with joy.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." (End of this chapter)
