I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chen Chuxue and others had already determined the location and walked along the street to a remote corner.

There are many abandoned houses here, and several people chose the least attractive one among them.

As soon as the door was opened, countless dust fell down.

Chen Chuxue quickly handed everyone a mask.

Then, Uncle Geng carefully searched the house with a thermal imaging device and a crossbow in hand.

Fortunately, no one was hiding in the house.

Because it was too late, and turning on the flashlight would easily expose them, they set up a tent in the house and rested inside.

Uncle Geng was not far behind the door, spreading a cloth on the ground, and just managed to sleep for one night.

Early the next morning.

They ate something simple and started cleaning.

They say they are cleaning, but in fact they are just cleaning the place where they want to rest. After all, they won't stay too long, so there is no need to spend a lot of time.

Then, they changed their clothes.

These are new clothes they found from the landlord's house in Anping Town.

Just by changing their clothes, they transformed from disaster victims into rich ladies.

Then, Chen Chuxue picked up the cosmetics and took Geng and Xiao to do a simple make-up, and then changed their hairstyle.

Not only them, but Uncle Geng also changed his hairstyle and even put on a light make-up.

It's not about looking beautiful, but trying to make yourself look ugly so that your appearance doesn't attract too much attention.

There is no way, they are outsiders and attract too much attention, so their identities will be exposed easily.

After doing this, they left the house.

Fortunately, they deliberately chose a place with few people, so they would not be discovered when they went out, and then a few people came to the street.

The street is still very lively. Well, in Chen Chuxue's opinion, it is more lively. This is the first time she has seen an ancient street market.

Unfortunately, the street seemed lively, but in fact there wasn't much for sale. At least Chen Chuxue and others didn't fancy anything.

"Ok?"

"There is actually a restaurant?"

Chen Chuxue was a little surprised, then looked at Aunt Geng, "Then go and see if you can."

They are not short of money. Last time, Chen Chuxue gave each of them a gold bar.

Chen Chuxue is not short of money. She previously gave out a box of silver, and then took away the gold and silver treasures collected by the Machete Club in Anping Town, as well as the gold and silver jewelry collected by Sun Ling and others. Not to mention her current net worth. There are hundreds of thousands taels, and there are still some tens of thousands taels.

"A few guests, please come inside."

The waiter sitting at the counter was dozing off. When he saw Chen Chuxue and others coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up and he ran over quickly.

"What do you gentlemen want to eat?"

"What do you have here?"

"Or serve some of your signature dishes."

"Yes, there is, but the price may be a bit expensive..." The waiter knew that it was Chen Chuxue's first time here, so he quickly explained, "Several guests also know that the famine has become more and more serious in recent years..."

"Our dishes are also transported thousands of miles from other places, so the price is much higher..."

The waiter was not afraid that a few people would not be able to pay, but that after they finished the food, it would definitely be too expensive and they would not want to pay, which would lead to conflicts.

"Oh, what's the price?"

"This steamed sea bass costs three taels of silver."

"Plums, ginger, pickles...five taels of silver."

"hiss!"

Even though Uncle Geng was mentally prepared, he was also shocked by the price. A few years ago, this price would have allowed you to buy dozens of dishes. Now every dish is so expensive. It’s a real money grab!

Chen Chuxue didn't react much. Firstly, she didn't know much about prices in ancient times. Secondly, she also knew the situation.

Nowadays, there is a famine. To be honest, the victims outside the city wall have no food to eat. The fact that this restaurant can still open obviously has a background.

Even if they have the background, if they want to open a restaurant, they have to get enough food from the south or other places to be able to open it.

In ancient times, when food was transported from the south, the price... was not cheap even in normal times, let alone during a famine.

For example, during the Tang Dynasty, Concubine Yang wanted to eat lychees and had them delivered all the way from the south. The cost was enough for an ordinary person to spend a lifetime.

Therefore, Chen Chuxue didn't care, and it wasn't like she didn't have money in her space.

Besides, she also wanted to try whether ancient food was delicious.

"Anyway, we're all here." Chen Chuxue looked at Aunt Geng and the others and said with a smile, "I'll pay for it and treat everyone to a good meal."

"Then give it a try!"

Aunt Geng nodded and did not refute, because the money was in Chen Chuxue's hands. Moreover, even if Chen Chuxue paid the money, they could just remember to make up for it later.

Moreover, if you don’t eat here, you can eat anywhere.

Although they lived there, it was impossible to cook there.

If the people around suddenly smell the aroma of food coming from the abandoned house, it would be strange not to report it to the official.

Finally, they ordered a steamed sea bass, plum and ginger, and a soup.

Just these three talents have already spent ten taels.

Uncle Geng and others felt a little sad. A few years ago, they had to break even one penny into two pennies to spend.

Chen Chuxue saw their expressions and said nothing, because this was just the beginning. With her golden finger, she would definitely become richer and richer in the future.

Of course you have to spend money, there is no need to save it.

Therefore, if Uncle Geng and others follow him to Jiangnan, they will naturally have to slowly change their previous spending habits.

Jiangnan is also a place where money flows like water.

If you keep deducting it, life in Jiangnan will become very tiring.

Maybe because they were the only ones in the inn, the food was served quickly.

I have to say that it is indeed the largest restaurant in Dongqiu County, and the appearance of the dishes is already very attractive.

As for the taste, it is absolutely amazing.

Uncle Geng finished four bowls of rice in one go without feeling any pain in his body.

Aunt Geng was also satisfied, and she secretly wrote down the recipes for these dishes, planning to go back and ponder them to see if she could copy them.

No matter what, several people felt that the money was well spent.

If she hadn't already spent ten taels and was afraid of attracting attention, Chen Chuxue would have bought a few more vegetables and packed them back.

"Guests, hurry up!"

After finally making a big deal, the smile on the waiter's face was almost overflowing, and he sent them out with a bow and a nod.

"Where did this rich man come from?"

People passing by were immediately curious when they saw this scene. Local people basically would not go to this restaurant to eat because they have no money.

People from out of town do go, but now it's not like before, there are almost no outsiders coming in.

Therefore, they were curious and a little surprised at the same time, and four words came to their mind: Stupid people have more money.

Why go to a restaurant to eat when you have this kind of money? Can't you just buy the food and cook it yourself?

Chen Chuxue didn't know what other people were thinking. Even if she knew, they wouldn't be able to answer. Who knows that since they are not locals, they can't cook at home and can only eat outside.

"what?"

"Why do I feel that you guys look familiar?"

Suddenly, a soldier walking past Chen Chuxue and others made a startled sound and seemed to look at them.

Chen Chuxue's heart skipped a beat because they recognized that this soldier was actually the soldier on the wall who shouted them back.
