Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Three hundred taels of silver, nowadays, especially for ordinary people, is definitely a huge sum of money. With a huge sum of money in his pocket, Xu Huaiyi was not afraid at all. Seeing no one around, he ducked into the RV.

This is the secret he just discovered. You can enter the RV at any time, but when you come out, it will only be at the same place. For example, if he entered in the county town, he will still be in the county town when he comes out. His wife is at home, and he will only be at home when he comes out. , cannot achieve the magic of Jingle Cat’s arbitrary door.

Gu Huanxi happened to be in the car and was stunned when he saw his sudden appearance.

Xu Huaiyi couldn't wait to show her the money, "Daughter-in-law, look at it, are each of these ingots happy or not? Hehe, I want to take a bite just by looking at it..."

Gu Huanxi picked up one and touched it, "Is that what sold the glass ornament?"

"How can you do that? There are also banknotes..." Xu Huaiyi took out a few pieces of paper with the bank's seal from his arms and showed them to her, "We sold a total of three hundred taels, did we overfulfill the task? Eh? What do you think of this banknote?" If we keep the ticket for future generations, will it be considered an antique?"

Gu Huanxi glanced at him speechlessly and asked, "What are you doing in here?"

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly recounted the general information he had learned in the county, and finally discussed with her, "Daughter-in-law, I want to buy a mule first and then equip it with a frame. I want to drive the carriage myself and make it comfortable." , to save you suffering on the road."

"Okay, what about the food?"

"I definitely have to buy food. How many kilograms of millet, beans, etc. do you think is appropriate? Too little will make you lose sight of the road, too much will be eye-catching. How about a hundred kilograms each?"

Gu Huanxi thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Okay, buy some wheat as well. When you get it back, grind it into powder. I will bake it into naan, or directly make it into pot cakes. It will be convenient to eat on the road."

There is an endless supply of delicacies in their car, and they need to be able to hide their food even if they are exposed.

Xu Huaiyi agreed, hugged his daughter and gave her a few rare kisses, drank a bottle of ice-cold juice to quench his thirst after the heat, and then stepped out.

With money, you can buy whatever you want. Xu Huaiyi asked people along the way to find out where there was a market for livestock trading. After searching for it, he discovered that the so-called market was just an open space surrounded by more than a dozen locust trees. The air was There is an unpleasant smell in the air, and there are not many people coming here to buy and sell. They are scattered and do not look like a climate.

Fortunately, he turned around and found a good mule, so he stood there and looked at it carefully.

The owner of the mule was in his thirties, tall and rough-looking. Seeing his interest, although he had doubts about his patchwork clothes, he still greeted him eagerly, and then gave him a warm introduction. .

The neck is long, the hooves are narrow, and the teeth are just right. In short, his mules are good at walking and have good endurance. When they are used best, it is definitely not a loss to buy them.

Xu Huaiyi listened carefully and said perfunctory "um, um" from time to time.

The other person's mouth went dry as he spoke, and finally he asked tentatively, "Little brother, what do you think of my mule?"

No matter how satisfied Xu Huaiyi is in his heart, he doesn't show anything on his face, otherwise how can he bargain? He said with an inscrutable expression, "It's not bad, how much money are you willing to sell it for?"

Unexpectedly, the other party asked him, "How much are you willing to give me, little brother?"

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

Why do you all like to attack his army first?

He held out two fingers expressionlessly.

The other party's eyes lit up, "Twenty taels? Deal!"

Xu Huaiyi suddenly recalled the mood of shopkeeper Yao before. Is he crazy because of poverty?

It's not like he didn't inquire about the price of the mule before he came. Depending on the quality of the mule, it's usually between five taels and ten taels. If you ask him for twenty taels, is this treating him like a fool?

"It's two taels, brother."

When the other party heard this, his face suddenly fell, and he shook his head vigorously and waved his hands, "Two taels is not enough, don't even think about it. I have been feeding this mule for almost seven years. I have eaten more than two taels of silver just for food. Selling it to You, then I didn’t lose blood?”

Xu Huaiyi naturally knew that it was impossible to buy a mule with two taels of silver, but he just cast stones to ask for directions. The result was not bad. This eldest brother was rough-looking, but kind-hearted. If he had a bad temper, he would have to be kicked out. He changed Zhang smiled and said, "Then I'll give it a little more, how about five taels?"

The other party still shook his head.

Xu Huaiyi patiently added one or two to eight taels. Seeing that the other party was still indifferent, he didn't say anything. He looked at the mule again, turned around and left.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and after he realized what he was doing, he quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Don't leave in a hurry, brother, if you keep raising the price, I really won't be able to sell it..."

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "To be honest, brother, when I went out, my family gave me about ten taels of silver. I had to scrape this together, but I can't give it all to you. I have to buy food to go back and cook, so it's not me." If you don’t want to go up, you can’t go up any more. If you don’t leave, what are you still doing?”

The other party frowned in confusion and asked again and again without giving up, "Is it true that it can't go up any more?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded decisively.

The other party gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "Okay, eight taels is eight taels, just treat me as your friend."

Xu Huaiyi immediately introduced himself to his family enthusiastically, "What, big brother, little brother Xu Huaiyi, my family is from Xujia Village. From now on, if you pass by, you can come to my house for a drink of water."

other side,"……"

Is this person more stupid than him?

Isn’t what you said just now a way of doing business? Why do you take it seriously?

But she was so down-to-earth and sincere, so he couldn't hold Qiao in his arms, so he handed her over and said, "I'm in Changshan, Xiama. My family is from Changmiao Village. If you want to go, just ask someone, Ma Laosan."

"well……"

Once the price has been negotiated, the rest is simple. However, it is not a matter of handing over the money and delivering the goods. Instead, you have to find a middleman who specializes in this. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, there will be no explanation.

The procedure was very quick, a cup of tea was enough. After giving the middleman a hundred coins, the mule was returned to Xu Huaiyi. Without bothering the two owners, he dragged the other party to help him buy a set of bicycle frames, and even The saddle was included, and nearly three taels of silver were spent. Now it was all purchased, except for the carriage.

After enthusiastically waving goodbye to the 'eldest brother' he had just met, Xu Huaiyi happily took the big mule and went to the grain store to buy food. Walking on the road, he felt that he was the brightest kid on the street.

When I entered the grain store, I suddenly woke up.

Good guy, an hour ago, the price of millet was thirty-five cents and the price of beans was twenty cents. In just a short time, the prices have increased. Wheat is even more outrageous. It has risen to sixty cents, which is nearly ten cents more than last year. times.

What is being sold is not food, is it human blood and sweat?

Xu Huaiyi was speechless when he heard this, and the grain shop was also noisy. Everyone was denouncing the shopkeeper for increasing money indiscriminately and making unconscionable money without fear of retribution.

One person collapsed and squatted on the ground crying, "There is no way to survive..."

The waiters in the shop looked numb and were not afraid of anyone making trouble. The owner of the grain shop had already hired five or six strong men to guard the door. Anyone who made trouble would be picked up and thrown out.
