In the end, the villagers gave Chen Xue a ram, two ewes, and two maidens to serve the husband. This sheep was considered to be at its peak.
Originally, the villagers asked for 900 silver for three little lambs, that is to say, 300 silver for one lamb, but Chen Xue and the others knew that this price was too low, so they gave them 20 taels of silver after thinking about it.
After all, the two of them are not short of money, but for the villagers, even a penny may be enough to eat more.
Chen Xue was born in a rural area in her previous life, so she knows very well how important money is to rural farmers and how difficult it is to earn.
The dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes that we worked so hard to grow cost more than a few hundred yuan just to buy fertilizers, but in the end we sold them for only one yuan a kilogram.
They are not saints, but they are not hard-hearted people either. For those in need, they will naturally help those they see.
What's more important is that the villagers did not give them a high price, but sold them at a low price, which was enough to make them feel good.
The two finally left with tears of gratitude from the villagers. Before leaving, they were given some specialties by the villagers, such as dried sweet potatoes, dried mushrooms and other dry goods.
If they hadn't strongly refused, the villagers would have taken out all the dry goods 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.
Mr. Chen nodded, but he was thinking about how to buy the cow safely without harming others.
He does not want to cause others to be sentenced or exiled because of buying cattle, which will cause him to have a troubled conscience for the rest of his life.
But because he had worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he had seen a lot and had dealt with many people who were corrupt and violated the law. They used various means to obtain beef and then gave it to wealthy families as favors.
Although he doesn't do anything illegal, he can still be flexible. Of course, he hasn't thought of a good way yet.
Keeping the idea of getting a few cows in his heart, Mr. Chen took Chen Xue to the city. When they reached a deserted place, Chen Xue took the lambs into the space.
When the two returned to the city, they took out the list.
"Grain seeds, vegetable seeds, hot pot seasonings... I've bought these, let's see what else I haven't bought?"
"Buy some bamboo hats!" Master Chen said thoughtfully, "We have a lot of people in our family, and two carriages can't fit in. They have no place to hide when it rains, so they can take shelter with bamboo hats and raincoats."
Chen Xue naturally had no objection and followed her father to the store.
The waiter in the store was very happy when he saw that the two of them had bought a lot of bamboo hats. "Are you two planning to go out for autumn?"
Although the Double Ninth Festival has passed for some time, everyone's enthusiasm for going out for autumn has not diminished. He has already seen many people. Come and buy things for autumn.
"If the guest plans to spend the night in the wild, you can take a look at the flint and fire sickle. After all, it is inconvenient to live in the wild..." "
There are also Xie Gong clogs, which are essential for mountain climbing and are not easy to slip..."
the waiter introduced enthusiastically, as if he really thought that The two of them were traveling to Taqiu, but the key point...
Chen Xue and Chen Xue looked at each other, not knowing what to say. If they were honest, they were not traveling to Taqiu, but to be exiled. I wonder if the waiter in the shop would be so enthusiastic. Or he might immediately turn around and run to the county government office to report it to the official.
Although they complained in their hearts, the two of them were still very interested in what the waiter introduced.
Especially Chen Xue, she knew that Nanman was similar to the tropical areas in her previous life, and it was very humid there.
Moreover, life in the wild is inconvenient. In the era when there were no lighters, flint was the most convenient. There are also so-called Xie Gong clogs, which are shoes worn for hiking. Although they are not used now, there will be opportunities in the future.
So, the two of them bought a lot of things under the enthusiasm of the waiter in the store, spending a full ten taels of silver.
"Next..."
"It's time to buy food!"
Master Chen was interrupted by Chen Xue before he finished speaking. Although Xiaodie is a good cook, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, so the food in the space is still a little short.
More importantly, Chen Xue has never tasted any delicacies in this world. Although she has memories of her predecessor, she has not experienced it personally.
Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's buy some delicious food for your mother and go back."
However, as they were walking, Mr. Chen suddenly fell back and looked at Chen Xue with some embarrassment.
"Ahem, that Xiaoxue, dad has spent all his money..."
As he said that, Mr. Chen felt a little embarrassed, because a voice appeared in his mind for no reason, "Sure enough, Mr. Chen is really penniless."
Moreover, it always feels weird to ask your daughter for money, but it is safe to keep the money in your daughter's 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 that the food from another world has a unique taste.
"Autumn pear ointment, dragon beard cake, sheepskin filaments..."
After a while, Chen Xue came over with large and small bags full of things. Master Chen was a little stunned.
How long has it been...
"Ahem, Xiaoxue, we are exiles, not traveling. It's not good for you to bring so many things..." Bringing so many
delicious things back, I'm afraid the entire exile team will go crazy. By then, their entire Chen family will be the target of public criticism.
"Dad, have you forgotten, I have space!"
Mr. Chen slapped his head, "Look at my memory."
Say it, he turned and left.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"I'm buying something for your mother. I'm interested in a hairpin, and I plan to buy it for your mother. There's also the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that your mother likes to eat. I'll buy her a few kilograms, and..."
No. After a while, Chen Xue was stunned as she watched her father come back with a full load of things, and was speechless.
"Dad, didn't you just say that we were exiled and not traveling, so why wouldn't it be good to buy so many things?"
"Isn't there room for this?"
Mr. Chen said without hesitation.
Chen Xue: "..."
That makes sense!
But why does this sentence feel so familiar?
The two of them were shopping in large and small bags, and they didn't look like exiled prisoners.
"It's a pity that your mother didn't come out with us!" Mr. Chen said regretfully. Shopping as a family of three is the happiness of a family.
However, there is no way that Captain Sun and the others would agree to let their family of three enter the city. If he ran away, where would he find anyone?
It's okay if he catches the person, but if he doesn't find the person, he will be punished.
Therefore, he must keep a hostage in the team.
Master Chen knew this, so he did not take his servants into the city, but asked them to stay with his wife to protect her.
"Where did the people go?"
"Damn it!"
Chen Xue and Chen Xue were walking on the road when they suddenly heard two complaints. When they turned around, they saw it was the government servant in the team, and he was also the person who had followed them before.
However, it seems that the two of them have not found themselves yet.
"Pfft!"
Chen Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw two government officials passing by without noticing her.
"Why are you laughing!" The yamen servant was angry. When he heard someone laughing, he turned to glare at Chen Xue.
Chen Xue immediately opened her mouth and pointed at her mouth, indicating that she was mute.
"What bad luck!"
The yamen servant cursed and turned around to leave, obviously not matching them up with Chen Xue.
After all, after Chen Xue put on makeup at this time, she completely changed her person. In addition, she changed her clothes and her hairstyle into two little ones. She completely changed her appearance. Even her own mother didn't recognize this person. kind.
Seeing the two government servants walking away, Chen Xue and Master Chen looked at each other and burst out laughing.
