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...
Yu Qingshu kept most of the roe deer meat and took two fat rabbits, a pheasant, and the ginseng that Yu Qingqing had brought with him, and they went to the town together.
"Dad, we should buy more things this time and buy two ox carts. Otherwise, it will take too long to walk and people won't be able to bear it. Besides, there are too many things and it will be difficult to carry them."
Yu Qingqing sat on the ox cart and drank a sip of water. She had recently discovered that her physical fitness was getting better and better.
"Yes, Daddy Qing'er is right. If we really have to flee the famine later, it will be difficult without a bullock cart. And there will be more refugees later, so we should get some self-defense equipment."
This time Yu Qinghai also came out and could help carry things.
"Okay, Qing'er and Hai'er are right. We should prepare some water. The village chief said that the water in the village is getting less and less, even our well.
Dad also checked our well last night, and the water level has dropped significantly again." Yu Qingshu was filled with worry.
Yu Qingqing was listening nearby, but she wasn't too worried. Her space was now a thriving place, and there was no shortage of water.
Especially the chayote, which already has flower buds, and the things in the space will not go bad as long as they are put in. It can be said to have the function of preserving freshness.
But when the time comes, I have to think of a good excuse to take the things out. I feel like the wild boar can be kept in the space forever.
"Qinghai, we're here." Yu Qingshu saw that they had arrived and was the first to come down, picking up the things in his hands. Then, as usual, he came to the back door of "Yunzhou Restaurant".
"Is anyone there? Open the door." After a while, a man came out. It was the same shopkeeper Huang from before.
"Shopkeeper Huang, long time no see. I didn't see you the last time I came." Yu Qingshu went up to greet him familiarly.
"It's Brother Yu, what good things have you brought today?" Shopkeeper Huang's eyes rolled around as he looked back.
"Wow! This rabbit looks like it weighs about 7 or 8 kilograms, almost 9 kilograms. Is there roe deer meat? Why is there only half? This is really good stuff.
The pheasants are also very fat, each one looks to be around ten pounds. "Waiter, come and weigh these prey!" Shopkeeper Huang said as he looked at them.
Soon the waiter brought out something and started weighing the prey.
"Sir, your roe deer meat weighs a total of 40 kilograms, two pheasants weigh 23 kilograms, and one wild rabbit weighs 11 kilograms."
The waiter beside him quickly reported a string of numbers.
"Brother Yu, roe deer meat is quite expensive, usually priced at three hundred coins per catty. I'll give you a higher price for pheasant and hare, twenty-five coins per catty. Is that okay with you?"
After Manager Huang finished speaking, he looked at Yu Qingshu. Yu Qingshu was very happy after hearing this. This was a relatively reasonable price for him.
"The wild roe deer meat was sold for a total of twelve taels, and the chicken and rabbit meat were sold for a total of eight hundred and fifty wen. The total amount is twelve taels and eight hundred and fifty wen. Take a closer look, is this correct?"
Yu Qingshu looked at the silver in front of him, his head just nodding, and he didn't even remember to count it.
But Shopkeeper Huang wouldn't lie, so there was no need to worry about that. He simply took the silver, thanked him, and went to the pharmacy.
Soon everyone arrived at the "Hui Ren Medical Clinic". There were not many people in the clinic recently, probably because it was difficult to get a meal, and not many people came to see a doctor. After all, there was no extra money at home.
"Little girl, it's you who's here. What medicinal herbs have you brought?"
This time, the owner of the drugstore happened to be at the front desk of the drugstore. He immediately saw the person walking in from outside and was also quite impressed by the little girl Qingqing.
"Hello, shopkeeper! I'm here to sell herbs. Can you show me some?" Yu Qingqing said without hesitation and placed the ginseng in front of the shopkeeper.
"Oh, this is good stuff, ginseng! This ginseng looks quite old, two ginseng plants, one is over a hundred years old.
Each plant is about two to three hundred years old and is very precious. "Are you going to sell all of this, little girl?"
Shopkeeper Huang's face was all wrinkled with smiles when he saw the ginseng. He had been worried about finding ginseng of a higher age recently, so it was like he was feeling sleepy and a pillow was given to him.
Just then he received news that a nobleman in the capital needed to buy aged ginseng for medical treatment.
"Well, I'll sell them both. What do you think these two are worth?" Yu Qingqing said confidently.
"How about this? I'll give you three hundred taels for the small one and one thousand taels for the big one. What do you think?" The price given by Shopkeeper Huang was fair and not unreasonable.
"Okay, boss, we'll do as you say, but we don't want silver notes. For a thousand taels, you can just give two fifty-tael pieces or one gold ingot.
For three hundred taels, give a twenty-tael gold ingot; for the remaining one hundred taels, give a fifty-tael silver ingot and fifty-tael loose silver.
Yu Qingqing thought about it and decided to make the change a little bigger so that it would be easier to use later.
"I didn't expect that the little girl is so thoughtful. Okay, you need to wait a moment, I will go and give her some instructions."
The shopkeeper took the ginseng with him and returned to the backyard, and then gave instructions about the silver.
Yu Qingshu, Yu Qinghai, and Yu Qingqing found a place to sit and wait. They got the money soon, and Yu Qingqing gave it to Yu Qingshu. Yu Qingshu felt embarrassed to take his daughter's earnings, so he let her keep it.
Finally, Yu Qingshu accepted the 20-liang gold ingot. One gold ingot was worth 10 liang, which was 200 liang of silver.
"Okay, then, Dad, let's go buy an ox cart first. After we buy it, we can buy some food to take home, and also some seasonings and other things." Yu Qingqing and the others started to head towards the West Market again.
"Sir, what can I help you with? We have everything," a middle-aged woman approached. As a businessman, I wouldn't make any rash judgments based on a customer's attire. After all, everyone who comes to my shop is a customer.
"Madam, we are here to buy an ox cart. Do you have any recommendations?"
Yu Qinghai stepped forward to deal with the situation, while Yu Qingqing and Yu Qingshu were looking at the styles of ox carts nearby. In the end, they just bought an ox cart and installed a carriage.
"Sir! As for ox carts, there are ones weighing thirty taels, forty taels, and fifty taels. It depends mainly on the size and age of the ox."
"This is the cow. Although it looks a little thin, its muscles look very strong. Let's take this one, Dad!" Yu Qingqing looked for a while and pointed at a cow of medium height.
This cow costs forty taels, which is not cheap.
"The car is sold for five taels, it's the same price. If you need a carriage, I can give you a pair, but yes."
The proprietress saw Yu Qingshu and the others starting to discuss, but she seemed hesitant and a little anxious, afraid that they would suddenly change their minds?
"Dad, just buy this one. She'll give you a carriage. Look, the total is forty-five taels. Madam, you see, we can't have a little less."
