My Ancestral Jade Pendant is a Space, No Panic During the Famine

Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...

Chapter 21: There seem to be “refugees” in Yuye Town

After buying the seeds, Yu Qingqing walked into a small alley and looked around to see if there was anyone around.

He flashed into the space and saw the big wild boar lying in the open space. The radishes in the field were still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the wild boar did not destroy her vegetable garden. Yu Qingqing pulled out all the radishes, threw a few to the wild boar and left it alone.

Then he planted some of the seeds he had just bought on the open space. After checking that there was no one outside, he returned to the alley he had just been in.

She walked forward and entered a clothing store.

"Shopkeeper, how much are the clothes here? Give me two sets of coarse linen clothes for adults, two sets of men's clothes for my body shape, and one set for a five-year-old child."

Yu Qingqing went straight to the point and told us what she needed.

"The two pieces of clothing cost ninety cents each, and the other three pieces cost a total of one hundred and ninety cents each. Sir, please take the clothes."

The clerk in the clothing store folded the clothes neatly and pushed them towards Yu Qingqing.

Yu Qingqing felt his pocket with heartache and took out one hundred and ninety coins. Now he only had one hundred coins left. He was really too poor.

After getting the clothes, Yu Qingqing started walking back. She happened to pass by another grocery store and went in.

"Boss, can you give me some salt? How much is it?"

Yu Qingqing started shopping again because she needed so many things.

"Sir, how much do you need? Salt is two cents per pound." A short waiter came over.

"Give me 45 pounds!" Yu Qingqing decided to keep ten cents for emergency use.

Now I’m still trying to find a way to make money, and I don’t know how to sell the wild boar.

"Okay, sir, please decide where to send it. The total cost is ninety cents."

The young man still asked enthusiastically. After all, it was obvious that the girl had little strength, so how could she carry things?

"Put it in the alley behind your store and someone will come to help me get it later."

There's no way. She's a weak woman now and can't act too manly.

Soon the guy put the things in the alley. After he left, Yu Qingqing put the salt back into the space.

Yu Qingshu had already called the ox cart over, and the things had been loaded. It was still the same ox cart as before.

He paid the money first, a total of six coins. He was waiting for Yu Qingqing nearby, and he began to get anxious when he saw that she hadn't come back for so long.

After walking around for a while, Yu Qingqing arrived at the grain shop.

"Qing'er, where have you been? Did you buy anything?" Yu Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter come back.

"Dad, we've bought it, let's go back."

After Yu Qingqing finished speaking, she also got on the ox cart. On the way, she met some people in tattered clothes who tried to get close to the ox cart.

Yu Qingshu picked up the hatchet from the ox cart, and those people stopped moving forward.

Yu Qingqing looked at the road back and saw that there were obviously more unfamiliar faces.

Most of the people didn’t look like beggars, but rather like refugees.

It seems the situation in other places is not optimistic. This person is probably a refugee from other places.

Yu Qingqing used her consciousness to look at the space and found that the seeds she had planted had sprouted.

It's about the height of a thumb. The flow rate of space is indeed different. Yu Qingqing sighed in her heart.

"Qing'er, hold on tight. Things aren't going quite right right now. There are so many unfamiliar faces. It seems we're still very pressed for time."

Although I still have some money on me, I have to spend it quickly. I should go back and ask the village chief about the situation."

Yu Qingshu watched his daughter looking around, worried that she might accidentally lose her seat on the ox cart.

"I know, Dad. I will pay attention. The current situation is probably not very good, and the food at home will not last long."

Yu Qingqing was very clear that they were too poor, otherwise she wouldn't be so worried. If only she had an ox cart, it would be great. If she had to rely on her own two legs, her legs would probably not belong to her anymore.

The oxcart was still moving very quickly when they arrived at Shuihe Village. Yu Qingshu carried all the food on his shoulders and headed home, while Yu Qingqing carried the clothes she had bought for the family.

"Mom, my sister is home." Yu Qingji, who was playing at the door, saw his father and third sister and quickly reported to his mother.

“My wife, we are back and bought 200 kilograms of brown rice and 50 kilograms of brown rice. Now the price of food has risen again.

Qing'er sold a lot of herbs and used the money to buy food."

Yu Qingshu and Yu Qingqing decided not to follow, so Hua Qinglu told Yu Qingqing about her fright so that she wouldn't worry.

Just say that you were accidentally bumped into by someone, and that person was a wealthy man who paid you dozens of taels of silver as compensation. When you wanted to return it to the other person, the other person had already walked away.

"I bought so much, and the herbs are so expensive?" Hua Qinglu looked at the food in front of him, a little bit incredulous.

The price of food has gone up. My family has never bought so much food at one time. This amount of food is enough for my family to eat for several months, and it can only make them 60% to 70% full.

"Yes, my lady, you can keep these." Yu Qingshu said as he took the remaining four gold ingots.

He gave all the six pieces of silver and one hundred coins to Hua Qinglu. He really didn't keep any of it. He was a good man, thinking about his family.

"So much! My husband is so generous!" Hua Qinglu looked at the silver in front of her, her eyes almost popping out.

In the end, I accepted it out of greed. Of course I have to accept what my husband gives me.

"Mom! Look at the new clothes my sister bought." Yu Qingji was holding a small linen shirt in her hand. Although it was just coarse linen, it was new after all.

"Qing'er, thank you for your hard work. I still have to ask you to buy clothes. I always feel bad about it."

Hua Qinglu also touched the clothes that Yu Qingqing bought for her and spoke lovingly.

"Mom, it's okay, this is what a daughter should do."

Yu Qingqing scratched her head embarrassedly. Yu Qingmei was standing beside her holding clothes.

"Thank you, Qing'er." Sister will work hard on embroidery and buy clothes for Qing'er in the future.

At this time, Yu Qingshu put the food where he usually ate, as there was really no other place to put it.

“Qing’er, you should save the money from selling the herbs. Daddy was careless, and it’s time to change your clothes.

Dad will definitely buy it next time we go to town. It will be cheaper if we just buy the cloth.”

Yu Qingshu also came out. Yu Qingqing didn't think much about it. He thought ready-made clothes were simple and didn't think about buying cloth. It seemed that the ancients were very hardworking and would make whatever they could by themselves.

"Dad, it's okay. This isn't much. I can earn more money later."

After Yu Qingqing finished speaking, she put all the clothes away.

Hua Qinglu had just finished preparing dinner, and left half a piece of rabbit meat to stew with radish before eating tonight.

Then there is the wild vegetable porridge, but tonight's is relatively thicker than before, and it can make you about 70% full.

"Wow! I can eat meat again! I'm so happy!" Yu Qingji's eyes lit up when he saw the meat on the table.

Here, Yuan Xichen passed by an inn after a day's journey and planned to rest for a night before continuing on his journey.
