Lady Lingquan lifts a thousand pounds

Lin Ping'an is not someone who is motivated by wealth, nor does he seek repayment of favors. He just tells the shopkeeper what price he should pay.

The key is that he actually has no idea how much a pound of wild boar costs.

The shopkeeper came out to take a look and said that the price of pork belly should be according to the market price, which is twenty-five cents per pound.

In fact, wild boars, especially wild boars that have not been processed, cannot be sold at such a high price, but who asked this family to save the young master? Not to mention twenty-five cents, it is worth twenty-five taels per catty.

Lin Ping'an thought it was too high, so he said a few polite words and was quickly grabbed by the three children.

Dad, we don’t steal or rob, we just sell things honestly, why are you so polite?

The guard and the shopkeeper winked, and asked Lin Ping'an and the others to wait in front, and let them eat first, and the pigs would be weighed to calculate the money.

Lin Xiangxiang suddenly became nervous. She didn't want to stay for dinner. What if the child tried to calculate horse money with her?

She grabbed Lin Ping'an's arm: "Dad, mother is still waiting for us to go back. Let's buy rice and go back to make rice porridge for mother."

Don't eat here, your wife and children are still waiting.

Lin Ping'an also wanted to go home quickly, so he couldn't say anything. He quickly took the money so that he could go home early, otherwise he would be under curfew.

The shopkeeper said it was OK and had the pigs weighed. The total weight was 263 kilograms. One kilogram was twenty-five cents, which was six thousand five hundred and seventy-five cents. The total was sixty-five cents and seventy-five cents.

The shopkeeper raised the price of the whitebait, saying that some noble people liked it, so it was fifty cents a piece, making a total of forty-two pieces, totaling twenty taels a penny.

The two together add up to eighty-two-six cents and seventy-five cents.

Eighty-two-six cents, so much money.

In the past, they might not have been able to earn so much money after working hard for a year. A skilled worker would only be paid a few hundred cash a month when he went out to work. If he could be paid seven to eight hundred cash a month, that would be an extremely high price.

Lin Ping'an was a little trembling when he took the money, and said thank you to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper gave them money and packed food and snacks for them to take with them on the way.

Seeing that no one had come in front, he was a little anxious, so he pulled Lin Pingan and asked: "Brother, where do you live? If you still have whitebait and game, come to our Guangyunxuan. The price is fair."

Now that I know where I live, I can visit him later to say thank you.

Just as Lin Ping'an was about to speak, Lin Xiangxiang suddenly held his stomach and said, "Dad, I'm so hungry. I want to go home and eat the burritos made by my mother."

Lin Ping'an was a doting daughter. When he saw that she was hungry, he didn't care about anything else. He immediately said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left.

The shopkeeper wanted to thank the little girl properly, but the family ran away in a hurry.

"Hey, they are such a simple family. They don't repay kindness."

When Uncle He came earlier, no one was seen.

"Why did you let them go so quickly? Didn't you say you wanted to meet them?"

Uncle He held the young boy in his arms and looked straight at the entrance of the alley.

The shopkeeper said respectfully: "He still has his wife and children waiting at home. He was afraid that he might not be able to make it if he was late, so he left quickly."

Uncle He asked again: "Do you know where they live?"

The shopkeeper felt ashamed: "I was really in a hurry and didn't ask."

Didn't you ask this?

Uncle He couldn't help but glare at him. When he saw the fresh whitebait in the bucket, he said, "This whitebait is rare. I think it's a specialty there. Go check where it is. You must find this family."

The young boy said, "Uncle He, that little girl must have been afraid that I would pursue the matter with the horse, so she ran away quickly. That little girl is very shrewd."

Uncle He smiled: "It's better to be smart."

If you really are that person, the smarter the better.

This happened twice. According to the master, it takes three times to count.

Could it be that she is really that girl?

It doesn't matter if she is a little peasant girl, so that the little master's life can be saved.

Lin Xiangxiang had no idea what they were thinking and had already left quickly.

They quickly went to the grain store and bought some brown rice, millet, and some wheat, planning to go back and grind their own flour.

Passing by the butcher's shop, Lin Pingan bought three pieces of meat for 150 cash.

One is for my family, one is for my parents, and the other is for Lu Lin.

I have to give him some thanks for following him all this way.

On the way back, several people were very happy, saying happily that with the money, the debts they owed could be paid off.

Lin Xiangxiang sat in the back and watched as his elder brother opened the dishes given by the shopkeeper, looked at them, and divided them into three portions.

This is divided like meat.

After thinking about it, he divided another portion and gave another portion to the village chief's family.

You must express your gratitude for borrowing a mule cart, so that it is easy to borrow and return, and it is not difficult to borrow again.

The children of the poor are in charge early. As the eldest in the family, Lin Yiyue is sensible earlier. Lin Ping'an and Liu Siniang will also leave some of the family's favors to him.

When Lin Pingan looked back and saw his assignment, he was also very satisfied.

They walked quickly and met some groups of people dressed in rags, who looked like refugees.

Lin Ping'an and Lu Lin both became nervous, swung their whips, and urged the mules to run away.

Lin Yiyue also quickly covered the dishes to prevent others from seeing them.

Lin Xiangxiang was very curious, but he honestly didn't say anything.

Everyone ran in strange silence for a while. After they were far away from those people, she asked: "Dad, what do those people do?"

There were old people, young people, and baby babies. They were all dressed in rags. Where could they go at such a late hour?

"Hey, those are all refugees who came from Qimen Pass on the border." Lin Ping'an sighed and said: "There are often wars on the border between our Dayu Kingdom and Chirong Kingdom. The border residents there will come here if they can't make it. Come and make a living."

It turns out they are refugees, and it seems this is an uneasy place.

Lin Xiangxiang was unavoidably worried and asked: "Then the government will collect them when they come? The people at the border have all run away, so won't the city be empty?"

Lin Ping'an smiled and said: "No, when they come the government will at most give them some relief money and food, and then send them back. Moreover, people who commit crimes will be exiled there every year, so there will be no empty space there."

"Although the border is chaotic, I heard that there are many opportunities to make money. Some merchants who dare to take risks are willing to go there. If more people go there, the people there will naturally survive."

Lu Lin also said: "The fields in the border areas are cheap, and some people go there specifically to buy land. Moreover, it is not war-torn all day long, so most people can still survive."

Lin Xiangxiang had a general understanding of the place, and was somewhat interested in the border.

Several people did not talk about this topic again, and finally returned to the village after dark.

Passing by Lu Lin's house, I gave him the meat and vegetables first.

Lin Ping'an wanted to give him some money, but Lu Lin refused to accept it, saying that he was just doing a small favor and was not worth taking so much.

Lin Yiyue put the things in the yard and ran away quickly, and then he collected them all.

Then, they went to the village chief's house to return the mule cart and presented some Guangyunxuan dishes.

The village chief knew the food was not cheap when he saw it. Although he was curious about how they got it, he didn't ask much and said he could borrow it in the future using a mule cart.

If everyone who borrowed mule carts in the village was so self-conscious, he would be willing to borrow them every day.

But before they left, the village chief reminded her: "You should go back quickly. In the afternoon, your wife and children went to the old house to make a fuss and she seemed to have been beaten."

The kid was beaten?

Lin Ping'an held her daughter and pulled her son and ran away.
