Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Early in the morning, Xu Yuan took his three siblings and pushed a cart to the county town. The dried lychees had been packed the night before.

Xuyuan checked Xiaojiu's mall last night and found it unlocked. The window has columns for crops, tools, livestock, and furniture construction drawings. However, I can only click on the livestock column, and the others are still gray.

I saw that it only costs one thousand points to buy a donkey, while horses and cows are more expensive, and a mule costs three thousand points. There is also a function to exchange for silver, where one hundred points can be exchanged for one copper coin.

One hundred points for one copper coin?

When did copper coins become so valuable? I got these points...

It seems that points still have to be more valuable to Xiaojiu.

With one thousand points, making a wish would be unthinkable when I first arrived.

Now, haha, the poor migrant workers have turned into landlords.

Xu Yuan planned to use the excuse of selling dried lychees to exchange the donkey for a high-end mule.

It was still slightly light when we set out, and it was already bright when we arrived at the county town. The two little kids didn't complain of being tired at all. They were extremely excited and chattered all the way.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going and the sounds of hawkers hawking can be heard everywhere.

"Wow, the county town is so lively!" The two little kids were put on the cart by Xuyuan to prevent them from getting lost if not watched by others, and they said in unison.

It was the first time they had seen such a lively occasion. The two of them looked left and right, almost overwhelmed.

"Sister, where should we go? There is no stall for us here." Xu Zhi looked around and did not find any empty space.

"Let's put the cart aside first, we'll carry the backpacks, and we'll have a good time strolling around since it's our first time here." This was Xu Yuan's third time coming to Lin'an City. The first time, he and Gu Qinghan came here carrying lychees to sell for travel expenses. The last time they moved to Hsinchu Village, they passed by here, but because they had no money, nothing to buy, and had a lot of luggage, they did not bring their younger brothers and sisters in for a stroll.

The cart was parked in a small alley, where there was just one parking space left. From a distance, a sturdy man was seen driving a horse-drawn carriage and waving at them. Xu Yuan ignored him, immediately parked the cart, put on the backpack, and asked Xu Zhi to carry another backpack that was not very full. He took the hands of the two little kids, one on the left and one on the right, and left the place in a hurry.

It's better to be careful when you go out.

After turning a corner, the three siblings Xu Yuan came to the street. They used the few copper coins left from selling lychees last time to buy four vegetable buns. Everyone took the buns and started eating.

Xu Yuan did not plan to set up a street stall. After all, time was limited. Xu Yuan did not want to waste time here and wanted to make a quick decision. He would go directly to the shops selling cakes, dried fruits and snacks. After all, only wealthy people could afford these.

As I was walking around, I finally saw two cake and dried fruit shops, which were facing each other. One was active and the other was quiet, and the contrast was obvious.

In the Zhenxiu Pavilion, there were many customers choosing things, and the waiter was also serving them. From the outside, the shelves were full of pastries, longans, dates, lotus seeds...

There were few people in Lao Gao's dried fruit shop. There was only one middle-aged man in the shop. He was fanning himself and flipping through a book with slightly curled edges. He looked very regretful, shaking his head and sighing.

Xuyuan went straight to the door of Lao Gao’s dried fruit shop and knocked on the table.

"Welcome! Please come in, distinguished guest." The powerful voice was heard before Xu Yuan even stepped into the door. After a while, a fat middle-aged man appeared in front of him, waving a fan.

"Uh..." Gao Zhenghai looked at the two girls and two little boys in front of him. They were wearing coarse linen clothes that were washed white. They were all thin and weak, and their bodies were clean. Especially the two little boys, their thin faces made their eyes look big and round, but they were still a little cute.

Needless to say, the two girls also had pretty faces, especially the taller one, who had a cold look on her face.

"Boss, we're here to sell things. Will you accept any?" The girl with the cold face spoke in a faint voice.

People with personality are what I admire the most.

"Come in first, so I can see what it is." Lao Gao saw the two little boys looking at him with shining eyes, which made Lao Gao very excited.

After being married for many years without a child, his wife was in poor health and had been taking care of herself recently. Feeling sorry for his wife, Lao Gao naturally did not want to have children. But in his heart, he still wanted a little kid who would call him daddy.

Lao Gao brought the four siblings to the backyard, where a young man was slumped in a chair with a book, flipping through it intently, and laughing foolishly from time to time. He didn't even notice that his boss had arrived.

"Pa." Lao Gao slapped the waiter's feet with his fan. "What a mess you are in. You are making a fool of yourself for the customers. Go out and look after the store."

The shop assistant was awakened and dropped the book on the ground with the title of the book spread out on the ground. Xu Yuan glanced at it and felt like complaining in his heart. His face almost broke, but fortunately he controlled himself.

The overbearing prince pursues the female bandit leader.

What the hell is this, the title of this book really has the flavor of an old-time domineering president. It is incredible that in this era there is such a genius who discovered this magical subject. Just one look at the author's name and I can tell the whole story.

Well, it’s quite literary.

"Sister, come back to your senses. The shopkeeper wants to see the things we brought." Xu Zhi pulled Xuyuan who was in a daze.

"Oh oh oh." Xu Yuan woke up in shock and looked at the ground, but the notebook was nowhere to be found.

Xu Yuan quickly put down the bamboo basket on his back, picked up the dried lychees and handed them to Lao Gao.

"What is this?" Lao Gao looked at the shriveled and discolored shell and couldn't tell what kind of dried fruit it was made of.

"Boss, you can break it open and taste it first." Xu Yuan suggested, without intending to say it explicitly.

When Lao Gao saw Xuyuan solving a puzzle, he broke it open and took a bite. The flesh was brown, similar to longan. Longan is not cheap. Could this be similar to longan, but why is the shape so strange?

When Lao Gao took a bite of the plump flesh, he immediately tasted a sweet aroma. Isn't this the popular lychee he bought at the market a few days ago?

Lychees were a rare commodity at that time, but there was a period of time when many people were selling them, making the price a little unaffordable. Lao Gao bought a lot of them in a hurry to save money, but after eating a lot of them in one go, he felt a little irritated that day, and as a result, his wife stared at him, so he didn't eat as many bites. Now he is in good health, but no one is selling the fruit to him, and Lao Gao was depressed for a long time because of this.

This taste is even sweeter and more fragrant than fresh ones, and it can be preserved for a long time. Lao Gao immediately expressed his desire to buy it.

"Fifty cents a pound. You have more than four pounds here, so I'll give you five pounds." Lao Gao said generously.

"Okay." When Xu Yuan saw that the shopkeeper offered a price higher than his budget, he stopped talking. He thought he was a good man.
