The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

After buying food, it was already noon. Gu Liang bought two fried dough sticks for lunch and a sesame cake. (Fried dough sticks were invented in the Song Dynasty. People put two dough sticks into the oil pan as Qin Hui and his wife, which meant to fry in the oil pan. Therefore, fried dough sticks are also called fried ghosts, fried Qin Hui.)

There was still some time before getting on the ox cart, so Gu Liang went shopping again.

At this time, early-ripening persimmons were already on the market. Persimmons were sold everywhere. You could take them home and cover them for a few days before eating. However, Gu Liang had persimmons at home, so he naturally wouldn't spend money to buy them.

In front of a group of stalls, a stall selling hairy crabs attracted Gu Liang's attention.

The stall owner was also unlucky. He didn't sell a hairy crab after setting up the stall for a whole morning. There are a lot of these things in his hometown, and they are not worth much. Most people look down on these things without even a pound of meat. It is better to spend a little more money to buy fat pork.

So he came to this county to try his luck, thinking that the price in other places is high. But he didn't expect that people here love to eat persimmons very much. He finally sold a few crabs, and the people around him said, "You can't eat persimmons after eating crabs," which immediately dispelled the idea of ​​buying crabs.

So he didn't sell any crabs in the morning, but he couldn't just go back like this, because the crabs would stink after going back and forth.

Gu Liang thought that autumn was the time to eat hairy crabs, so he prepared to buy some to try. Lanxi Village is at the foot of the mountain, and the stream is full of hard-shelled crabs, small and hard, without any meat. Unless they are fried, no one will catch them.

"Boss, how much are these hairy crabs?"

When the crab seller heard someone asking the price, he immediately said flatteringly: "Young master, these hairy crabs in autumn are the most plump. They were originally sold for three cents each, but now they will only cost you two cents each."

Gu Liang thought the price was pretty good, so he prepared to buy some to take home, but he only had silver and no copper coins, so he prepared to go to the store to change some change before buying.

So Gu Liang didn't say much and turned around to change money.

And the crab seller saw that the customer who finally came to the door left after asking the price, so he felt that he had set the price too high. If he didn't sell it out, no one would want it in the afternoon. So he stamped his feet, made up his mind, and shouted to Gu Liang: "Sir, if you want it, I'll give you one cent each."

"Wow, there's an unexpected gain!" Gu Liang thought to himself that he was just continuing the habit of later generations when buying things, and he was not willing to talk too much with merchants. He didn't expect that he could get half the price this time.

So Gu Liang went back to the stall and looked at the crabs on the stall. They were all very fresh. He thought that each crab weighed about three taels, and one cent was really cheap. So he said, "Boss, if I want all of these, can you give me a discount? How much is the total?"

When the crab seller heard that Gu Liang wanted all of them, he felt like he had gone from hell to heaven. The boss's mouth rose to the corners of his eyes, and he said enthusiastically, "Young man, I have hundreds of crabs here. Are you sure you want all of them?"

After getting Gu Liang's affirmative answer, the crab seller hurriedly counted the number of hairy crabs, a total of 223, and told Gu Liang that only 200 coins would be enough.

After Gu Liang changed the change, he exchanged the money with the crab seller and the goods. Since he bought all of them, the crab seller also gave Gu Liang the bamboo basket for the crabs. Anyway, the bamboo basket was woven very roughly and was not worth much.

After selling all the crabs, the crab seller hurried back to his hometown. Not only did he not make any money, he even suffered a small loss. He secretly decided that he would never come here to do business and sell hairy crabs again.

After buying the crabs and putting them in the space, the ox cart was ready to set off. The ox cart was full of people, you next to me, I next to the chicken, the chicken next to the goose, and we swayed all the way to Lianhua Town.

When we arrived at Lianhua Town, it was already Shenshi, about four or five o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he got off the car, Gu Liang rushed to Lanxi Village. He couldn't delay at this point. If he delayed any further, it would be dark.

Gu Liang, who hadn't been home for a long time, was naturally in a good mood at this time.

But Mrs. Gu was not in a good mood. Since her youngest son and eldest grandson, Gu Boxi and Gu Liang, had been collecting herbs in the mountains for a long time and had not returned, Mrs. Gu seemed like a different person all day long.

In the past, Mrs. Gu worked very hard and never dragged her feet. Now, she is like an old lady in her twilight years. She cries all day long and sits alone on the bed, blaming herself for letting them go to the mountain to collect herbs.

"Mom, it's time to cook." The second daughter-in-law, Li, said this. Since the incident, Mrs. Gu

The family was devastated. Old Mrs. Gu was crying on the bed, the eldest sister-in-law was complaining on the loom, and Old Man Gu was sitting on the doorstep without saying a word. Gu Changping and Changan stayed out all day and went out to inquire about the news.

Seeing that Old Mrs. Gu was still like this, Li knew that she had to go to cook today. Now she was the only one in the family who was a little angry, and even the children didn't dare to say a word at home when they saw this situation.

"Da Zhuang, what are you playing here?" Gu Liang saw Da Zhuang and others playing games at the entrance of the village as soon as he entered the village. Gu Liang was most familiar with Da Zhuang and hadn't seen him for many days, so he naturally greeted Da Zhuang.

When Da Zhuang heard someone calling him, he instinctively turned around to see who it was. As a result, he was immediately shocked when he saw that it was Gu Liang.

"Ghost, help me, I saw Gu Liang's ghost. Mother, save me, I will never go out to play at night again..."

As Da Zhuang shouted, the other children also noticed Gu Liang and immediately ran away shouting. Especially Da Zhuang, who was fat, ran earlier than the others but fell behind, and fell on his face in a hurry.

Gu Liang was puzzled. Why did the children in the village see him as if they had seen a ghost?

In fact, it was not Gu Liang's fault. After Gu Liang disappeared, the villagers helped to find him. After searching for a few days without finding him, the villagers also dispersed, leaving only the Gu family to continue searching. The villagers did not find Gu Liang, so they assumed that Gu Boxi and Gu Liang were bitten by a tiger in the mountains. After a while, the children in the village thought Gu Liang was dead. Now that they saw him again, they thought they had seen a ghost!

But Gu Liang did not bother about these children. The more important thing now was to go home and report that he was safe.

Before Gu Liang stepped into the house, he bumped into his sister Dani who was leaving.

Dani couldn't believe it when she saw her brother Gu Liang. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not seeing things. Gu Liang greeted his sister warmly, and Dani was stunned for a moment, a little bit unbelievable.

Gu Liang was about to ask Dani what was wrong. Shouldn't she be happy to see him? Why was she so stupid? But before Gu Liang could say anything, Dani turned around and shouted to Grandma Gu and his mother Chen: "Grandma, mother, big brother is back, big brother is back, big brother has 'resurrected'."
