Chapter 32: One tael of silver for a steamed bun



One tael of silver for a white steamed bun?

There was a commotion among the exiles. Everyone wanted to eat white steamed buns. When Jiang Hu quoted the price, they could all afford it.

"Sir, one ounce of silver is too expensive. Can it be cheaper?"

놋놅 is bold and comes to bargain with Jiang Hu.

Jiang Hu shook the whip in his hand and said, "I can give you a discount. I promise you with the whip in my hand!"

Under the threat of Jiang Hu, the man returned to his team in shame.

When Mrs. Cao saw the white steamed bun, she turned around and asked Cao Quanye for help without caring about anything else.

"Master, Yue'er almost choked to death just now. You saw it, buy a white steamed bun for Yue'er to eat!"

Cao Ya twitched his mouth.

"Mom, are you good to me when you come back home?"

"You keep saying that Yue'er is going to be a better person, but will I be a better person too?"

Cao Ya's words were very smooth, and she directly pointed out that Madam Cao was harsh on her, the original wife, and left her child behind.

Mrs. Cao looked at Cao Ya in surprise.

Then, he was startled by Cao Ya's eyes which did not show any emotion.

Like the abyss.

When did her stepdaughter become so scheming?

Wait for her to take a closer look.

Cao Ya looks innocent and romantic.

“Buy one.”

Cao Quanye made the decision and took out a tael of silver with a painful heart, in exchange for a white steamed bun.

Under Mrs. Cao's nervous gaze, it was split into two halves.

Half was given to Cao Ya and half to Cao Yue.

Treat sons and daughters equally.

"Thank you, Daddy."

Cao Ya thanked him sweetly, and then broke off half of her own half and returned it to Cao Quanye.

"Dad eats too."

Cao Quanye looked at his filial daughter and felt very comforted.

Then I looked at my youngest son who was only concerned with eating.

His face looked ugly.

Mrs. Cao pulled her son, wanting to signal him to share some as well.

Unfortunately, Cao Yue's family was spoiled too much, almost.

Just eat and enjoy yourself.

"snort."

Cao Quanye flicked his sleeves heavily.

Mrs. Cao's face looked like a bitter gourd.

After the Cao family left, the Chen family also took some silver in exchange for a white bun.

Some was given to the old man first, and then to the children.

The rest of the people ate black steamed buns.

"Bai Mo is really too expensive." Guo did the math in her mind, "If this happens every time, we will spend all our money by the time we get to Mobei."

She thought this meal was tolerable.

"We bought it. The black steamed buns can be eaten by soaking them in water." Sister-in-law Lin also nodded in agreement.

Everyone's eyes finally fell on Shen Zhaozhao.

Shen Zhaozhao had other plans.

"Sisters-in-law, why don't you think about this, are you buying white steamed buns?"

Shen Zhaozhao meant what he meant.

The Lin family, who were from the same family, were the first to react.

Therefore, white steamed buns are sold at a high price, and the extra money goes into the pockets of Jiang Hu and others.

The officers turned a blind eye at the city gate and asked relatives to send money for their journey, in order to plunder it along the way.

Be polite before using force.

If they buy white steamed buns and give the money away, they will probably have a better time on the road in the future.

"Zhao Zhao is right. When you are young, this money is your personal property."

The old lady thought this was reasonable.

Shen Zhaozhao continued, "We are not in a hurry to jump out and be the money sucker, so we just need to spend a little more money than other families."

"Our Zhaozhao is bold and careful." Guo praised cheerfully.

Shen Zhaozhao smiled somewhat shyly.

The reason why she dared to be so bold was entirely because there were so many treasures in the space.

Along the way, there was no shortage of money at all, and the only thing missing was a way to use it properly.

The old lady made the decision, and the Zhan family went to Jiang Hu to buy three white steamed buns.

Spending from the old lady.

Jiang Hu weighed the silver in his hand, grinned, and looked at the Yang family.

"Want to buy it?"

Yang Zhangqiu hugged the bundle tightly in his arms.

He was troubled for a long time last night because he had to spend money to sleep in a dormitory, let alone today, when he only had one tael of silver for a steamed bun.

"Dad, we must buy it."

Yang Hanliu thought they were fools, and Jiang Hu's fierce eyes told them clearly that if they didn't buy it, they would suffer the consequences.

녦놆, helpless.

The head of the Yang family, Yang Zhangqiu, was short of money.

Yang Zhangqiu looked at his daughter being held by two sisters from the Dong family, and thought about how she acted on her own.

This daughter is really too brave.

She was whipped herself and almost brought disaster to her family.

This time, I will listen to her no matter what.

"We don't have that much money, so we have to eat black steamed buns."

Yang Zhangqiu made the final decision.

Yang Hanliu was stunned. She never expected that her words "it's okay" would make Yang Zhangqiu determined to buy it.

Jiang Hu immediately frowned.

This Yang family, don't give up any of their benefits...

"Okay, it seems my kindness has been taken as a waste of time." Jiang Hu rolled up the cloth and ordered his men to rest on the spot.

When it’s time to drink water, drink water. When it’s time to eat bread, eat bread.

On the Zhan family side, the old lady also arranged how to divide the three white buns.

"Eat first if you're hungry. I'll go find the servant to buy more." Shen Zhaozhao blinked.

"Ah?" Guo asked in surprise, "Did you say that I can only buy a small amount?"

Shen Zhaozhao smiled and spoke.

That's on the surface.

Secretly, when she was at the post station, she promised Jiang Hu that if she helped the Zhan family, the benefits would not be less.

for example:

Her second sister-in-law's money...

"Second sister-in-law, just eat it without worry." Shen Zhaozhao smiled slyly and turned to the servant.

Jiang Hu was eating steamed bread and talking to a few officers.

"Why is Yang Zhangqiu so stingy? He has already whipped his daughter a few times, but she is still being obedient."

"I guess they really have no money. I heard that the Yang family was originally from here. When the eldest son of the Zhan family returned to the court, he fell in love with Yang and took her back to marry her. Only then could the Yang family enter the capital."

"You didn't notice that several young wives in the Zhan family like Yang."

"That's it. These steamed buns will go bad if they are left for two days. What can we get out of them?"

Jiang Hu swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and played with the two taels of silver he had obtained this time in his palm.

"That's for sure."

Of the two taels of silver, three taels were given by the Zhan family.

"Boss, is that the young wife of the Zhan family?" An officer pointed at Shen Zhaozhao who was walking over quietly.

Jiang Hu narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

It seems that the colleague in the capital did not lie to him.

He got the wrong idea.

The young wife of the Zhan family is a real person.

Jiang Hu stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and clapped his hands:

"I'll go meet her."
