Chapter 62 Why does this sound so familiar?
In the end, the villagers gave Chen Xue a ram and two ewes. With two women serving one man, this sheep had reached its peak.
Originally, the villagers asked for nine hundred coins for the three lambs, which means three hundred coins for each lamb. However, Chen Xue and the others knew that this price was too low, so after thinking about it, they gave two taels of silver.
After all, the two of them are not short of money, but for the villagers, even a penny may mean one more meal.
Chen Xue was from the countryside in her previous life, so she knew very well how important money was to rural farmers and how hard it was to earn it.
After working hard to grow dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes, the cost of buying fertilizer and taking care of them alone is more than a few hundred yuan, but in the end they are only sold for one yuan per kilogram.
They are not saints, but they are not heartless either. They will naturally help those who are in trouble and those they see helping each other if they can.
More importantly, the villagers did not give them a high price, but sold it to them at a low price, which was enough to make them feel good.
The two finally left with the villagers' tears of gratitude. Before leaving, the villagers gave them some local specialties, such as dried sweet potatoes, dried mushrooms and other dry goods.
If the two had not strongly refused, the villagers would have planned to take out all the dried goods they had dried at home.
"Although I didn't buy a cow, it's not bad to buy a three-day-old lamb." Chen Xue said with a smile.
Lord Chen nodded, but he was thinking about how to buy the cow safely without harming himself or others.
He didn't want to buy a cow and cause someone else to be sentenced or exiled, as that would make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.
But because he had worked in the Ministry of Revenue, he had seen a lot and dealt with many people who were corrupt and committed lawlessness. They used various means to get beef and then gave it to the wealthy families as a favor.
Although he doesn't do anything illegal, he can still be flexible and adaptable. Of course, he hasn't thought of a good solution yet.
Keeping the idea of getting a few cows in his mind, Lord Chen took Chen Xue to the city. When they reached a deserted place, Chen Xue put the lamb into the space.
When the two returned to the city, they took out the list.
"I've already bought grain seeds, vegetable seeds, hot pot seasoning... Let's see if there's anything else I haven't bought yet."
"Let's buy some bamboo hats!" Lord Chen pondered. "We have many servants in our family. Two carriages won't fit them all. If it rains, they'll have nowhere to hide. Bamboo hats and straw raincoats can help keep them out of the rain."
Chen Xue naturally had no objection and followed her father into the store.
The waiter was delighted to see the two of them buying a lot of bamboo hats. "Are you planning to enjoy the autumn?"
Although the Double Ninth Festival has passed for some time, people's enthusiasm for the autumn season remains unabated. He has seen many people coming to buy things for the autumn season.
"If you plan to spend the night in the wild, you can look at flint and steel. After all, living in the wild is inconvenient..."
"And Xie Gong's clogs, essential for mountain climbing, they're not slippery..."
The waiter enthusiastically introduced the two of them, seemingly believing they were going on an autumn outing, but the key point was...
Chen Xue and the other person looked at each other, not knowing what to say. If they honestly said that they were not going on an autumn tour but an exile, they wondered if the waiter would be so enthusiastic or if he would immediately turn around and run to the county government to report to the authorities.
Although they complained in their hearts, they were still very interested in what the waiter introduced.
Especially Chen Xue, she knew that Nanman was similar to the tropical regions in her previous life, and it was very humid there.
Moreover, life in the wild is inconvenient. In the era without lighters, flint was the most convenient. There was also the so-called Xie Gong clogs, which were shoes worn for mountain climbing. Although they are not useful now, there will be a chance in the future.
So, under the enthusiastic attitude of the waiter, the two of them bought a lot of things and spent a total of ten taels of silver.
"Next..."
“It’s time to buy food!”
Before Lord Chen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chen Xue. Although Xiaodie was a good cook, she couldn't cook without rice, and there were still not enough dishes in the space.
More importantly, Chen Xue had never tasted the delicacies in this world. Although she had memories of her previous life, she had not experienced them personally.
Master Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's buy your mother some delicious food."
However, as they were walking, Lord Chen suddenly turned back and looked at Chen Xue somewhat awkwardly.
"Ahem, Xiaoxue, Dad has spent all the money he has..."
As he spoke, Lord Chen felt a little embarrassed, because a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, "Sure enough, Lord Chen is really penniless."
Besides, it always feels weird to ask my daughter for money, but the money is safe in her space.
Chen Xue also had a strange feeling, as if she was the rich old father, and her father was the child who needed pocket money.
…………
I have to say, the food from another world has a unique flavor.
"Autumn pear paste, dragon beard cake, sheepskin silk..."
After a while, Chen Xue came over with bags full of things, and Lord Chen was a little stunned.
How long has it been...
"Ahem, Xiaoxue, we're in exile, not traveling. It's not good for you to bring so many things..."
If they bring back so many delicious foods, I'm afraid the entire exile team will go crazy, and then the entire Chen family will become the target of public criticism.
"Dad, have you forgotten that I have space!"
Master Chen slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory."
Go ahead, he turned and left.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"I'm going to buy something for your mother. I've got a hairpin I've set my eyes on, and I'm going to buy her a few pounds of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which your mother loves. And..."
After a while, Chen Xue stared in amazement at her father coming back with a bag full of things, and was speechless.
"Dad, didn't you just say we were in exile, not traveling? Isn't it good to buy so many things?"
"Isn't there room for this?"
Lord Chen said without hesitation.
Chen Xue: “…………”
That makes so much sense!
But why does this sentence feel so familiar?
The two of them were walking down the street with bags of all kinds, and they didn't look like exiled prisoners at all.
"What a pity, your mother didn't come out with us!" Lord Chen said regretfully. Shopping as a family of three is the real family happiness.
However, Captain Sun and his men would never agree to let the family of three go into the city. If they ran away, where would he find them?
If he catches the person, it's fine. But if he doesn't find the person, he will be punished.
Therefore, he had to leave a hostage in the team.
Lord Chen knew this, so he did not take his servants into the city, but instead asked them to stay with his wife to protect her.
"Where on earth did the people go?"
"hateful!"
Chen Xue and her companion were walking on the road when they suddenly heard two complaints. They turned around and saw that they were the yamen runners in the team, and they were also the ones who had followed them before.
However, the two of them seemed to have not found themselves yet.
“Puff!”
Chen Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw two yamen runners passing by without noticing her.
"What are you laughing at!" The bailiff was angry. When he heard someone laughing, he turned around and glared at Chen Xue.
Chen Xue immediately opened her mouth and pointed at her mouth, indicating that she was mute.
"What bad luck!"
The bailiff cursed and turned away, obviously not matching them with Chen Xue.
After all, after putting on makeup, Chen Xue looked like a completely different person. In addition, she changed her clothes and her hairstyle into two small buns. She looked completely different, and even her mother couldn't recognize her.
Watching the two yamen runners walk away, Chen Xue and Lord Chen looked at each other and burst into laughter.
