Xue Huan had not told Cai Ling about her encounter before. After all, she thought it was not a big deal. However, although she thought it was not a big deal, Cai Ling still felt resentful and wanted revenge.
Now that Xue's mother asked, she told her the whole story.
Xue's mother couldn't help but look worried.
Xue Huan comforted her: "Don't worry, Mom. I will be careful next time I go to the county town."
When the peppers in the vegetable garden were almost ripe, Xue Huan felt it was time to go to the county.
However, because Cai Ling was still thinking of finding her and taking revenge on her, Xue Huan naturally couldn't go to the county with her original appearance. Moreover, she didn't plan to use her own identity to find someone to sell peppers.
What if the buyer forgets his principles when the time comes? Their family has no power or influence and is obviously in a weak position. If they fail to sell the peppers, they will also lose their family business. Therefore, it is necessary to have a vest.
Is it really that serious to sell chili peppers?
Chili peppers are now just a common vegetable or seasoning, but in this era, people had not yet discovered their value. The spiciness of the five flavors of "sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty" can only be tempered by Sichuan peppercorns, peppercorns, turmeric, dogwood, and mustard.
The pepper in it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
When pepper was first introduced, the emperor used it to paint the walls, and the Pepper Room Palace came from this.
The concubines used pepper as a spice to fumigate clothes. As for the common people, let alone using it, they didn't even know what pepper was.
Because of its scarce production, pepper became a luxury. If a minister was rewarded with some pepper by the emperor, he would be considered very favored.
Even now, the uses of pepper have been developed, and people know that pepper can be used as a seasoning and as medicine to treat diseases, but the price is still high, comparable to gold.
Even pepper is more valuable than gold. The price of pepper that can be blended to produce authentic spicy flavor and is watered by spiritual spring water cannot be lower than that of pepper, right?
Such expensive peppers are only available from her. As the saying goes, rare goods are valuable, but she is still too weak now, and it would be a crime to possess a treasure. Therefore, when selling the peppers, she must not reveal her true identity, otherwise once the buyer checks, their vegetable garden on the other side of Shangyang Lake will definitely be exposed.
The thorn hedge on the vegetable garden side can only protect against ordinary thieves. If the buyer finds out and breaks through violently, can the garden of peppers still be preserved?
There is nothing wrong with peppers themselves, as they can be planted again if they are gone. However, it is very likely that someone else will get the peppers and, after realizing their great value, will want to monopolize the market, forbidding their family from planting peppers, or even suppressing them in various ways. That would be a real disaster.
Early that morning, Xue Huan went out alone in a donkey cart.
After leaving the village, she walked to a forest on the side of the road. After observing for a while, she saw that there was no one around, so she entered the space with her car.
She walked into the thatched hut, sat down at the desk, and pointed at the bronze mirror to observe the situation outside in real time.
Under her control, the Five Elements Beads moved forward rapidly, but because they were too small, no one noticed them.
As she approached the city gate, she put on some makeup.
After putting on makeup, she looked like a young woman in her early twenties, with ordinary looks and no obvious features on her face. She would not stand out at all in a crowd.
After finding a deserted place, she came out of the space, entered the city, and headed straight for the north city.
The northern part of the city is a gathering place for migrant workers, with high mobility and complex composition. Craftsmen from all walks of life also live here.
The atmosphere is full of the city life, and the narrow alleys are lined with stalls on both sides, making it quite difficult to walk.
Xue Huan walked and stopped along the way, seemingly strolling around, but actually looking for a shop.
There is an inconspicuous pawnshop hidden in a corner - Tianxia Pawnshop. It has a narrow storefront and it is not easy to find it among the many shops and stalls.
Why did she go to this pawnshop?
Because it is a pawnshop on the surface, but in fact it does some shady business behind the scenes, such as helping people sell stolen goods, making fake household registrations, selling information, etc. As long as the money is paid, there is nothing it can't do.
The reason Xue Huan knew about this place was because she heard it from Guan Yue.
As the chief detective, Guan Yue would often come here to buy some information when investigating cases.
Shouldn't such a shop be shut down by the government? As a government official, Guan Yue was secretly doing business with this pawnshop?
You know, many things in this world are not black or white, there is also gray, and in fact, the vast majority of existence is gray.
This pawnshop is just like that.
The reason why it has continued to exist and has not been blocked by the government is not only because it can meet the needs of some people, but also because the real owner behind it is extremely powerful and has already taken care of all relationships.
However, only a very few people knew about the pawnshop's private business. Even Guan Yue only found out about it by chance.
Xue Huan paid attention to it when she heard him talk about it, and now she is putting it to use.
Finally, she found the pawnshop in the middle of an alley.
The pawnshop was just a small room, about five or six square meters, with nothing in it except a counter that was as tall as a person.
Xue Huan knew that this was just its surface appearance, and there was actually a lot more hidden inside.
She walked in and shouted, "Where are the people? Where have they gone? I have something to pawn."
A sleepy old man appeared from behind the counter. He had probably just fallen asleep behind the counter. He yawned loudly and asked, "What are you doing?"
"As an heirloom."
After hearing this, the old man finally raised his eyelids and glanced at Xue Huan, "What treasure?"
"A treasure that is unparalleled in the world and hard to find anywhere in the world."
Okay, the codeword matched, the old man opened a secret door on the side, and Xue Huan walked in.
About half an hour later, Xue Huan came out with an extra household registration document on her.
The household registration is not forged, but actually exists. It’s just that the person on the household registration is gone for some reason - disappearance or death. However, due to the delay in information, the government did not delete his household registration in time, so this gave the pawnshop a lot of room for operation.
The household registration that Xue Huan obtained was that of a prostitute named "Zhao Xiaoxian" who had turned over a new leaf. Later, Zhao Xiaoxian died of illness, and the household registration fell into the hands of a pawnshop.
As far as the government is concerned, Zhao Xiaoxian does exist. Xue Huan can get her share of the household registration certificate and buy a house, land, or do business, and all of this is recognized by the law.
With this household registration certificate, she can use the pseudonym "Zhao Xiaoxian" to do many things in the future.
Of course, this vest was not cheap, it cost her three hundred taels.
But it's all worth it.
