A pair of black goggles was exposed under the wide hat. She observed it for a moment without any obstruction, then found a place to block her body and entered the space.
After a moment, a figure that was thinner than before appeared again, with a skateboard under his feet.
It was a full twenty miles away, and she didn't want to walk there one foot deep and one foot shallow. Since there was a better way, why not use it?
Cheng Xi was a master who never wronged himself, so he naturally enjoyed himself as much as he wanted.
He put his left foot on the ground with a little force, bent his lower body, and the figure quickly stepped on the skateboard and paddled out.
The villagers walking on the road only felt a "swish" flash in front of their eyes, and when they tried to look again, they found nothing.
"?!"
".What's going on?"
"Something just passed by, right?"
"Ah, it seems there, but it doesn't seem like it's there?"
The passers-by were doubting life.
What a hell.
There must be too much snow and wind!
Cheng Xi skated all the way until he was about a mile outside the city gate before he stopped, and found a deserted place to change back into his going out clothes.
No one noticed anything unusual from beginning to end.
At this time, two soldiers in armor were standing at the city gate, trying to sleep and trembling.
Cheng Xi: "."
She twitched the corner of her mouth and coughed lightly, successfully waking the two of them up.
"Who?!"
"Brothers, I want to enter the city."
"Into the city? Oh, yes, yes, this is the city gate."
The two of them suddenly seemed to be in a dream, rubbed their hands and stretched out their hands, "Two copper coins, give them to me. We can enter the city."
Cheng Xi did as he was told and soon entered the city gate, with two faint complaints coming from behind him.
"Damn, it's too cold!"
"Who would have thought that it would snow so hard this year? It almost froze me to death!" "
There's no other way, the door still has to be guarded."
"It hasn't happened these days either. Why are people going into the city? It's snowing so hard in God's name, who dares to go out?"
"It's because not many people came, so we reduced the number of people from four to two. If we bear with it, we can change shifts later."
I heard. Cheng Xi suddenly realized while talking.
No wonder I always feel like something is wrong. It's because there are fewer people standing guard.
However, there were really few people along the way, which allowed her to increase the speed of her skateboard to the highest speed.
***
Due to the heavy snow, the streets in Fucheng were greatly affected.
The terrain here is already low, with heavy snow covering almost half of the city, and the snow on both sides has almost reached the windows.
And half of the originally bustling market was closed, and only food stalls were left open except for necessities.
Cheng Xi stood at the street corner and took a quick look. He could see where he was going without spending too much effort.
——Without him, there are too many people lining up in front of the grain store.
"Don't be too crowded. Don't be too crowded. There's enough food in the shop!"
"Oh, you should be slower, you stepped on me -" "
What? A pound of black noodles has increased by three cents? Are you robbing money?" !"
"Oh my God, let's not let people live anymore, you gang of black-hearted businessmen!"
"Oh, there is nothing we can do. It is said that there is a snowstorm in the north, and food can't be transported, so why don't we increase it!" "
What's the price of rice? ?"
"It's increased by two cents."
"What's wrong, the south was also hit by a disaster?"
"That's not true, but there are more people buying, so why don't we just follow the increase." "If
you don't buy it, don't buy it. Wait until the snow stops. Besides, I don't believe it will continue to rise!"
Cheng Xi: "."
There is no need to go in.
She was originally inquiring about food prices, but thanks to this group of people, she knew everything!
Cheng Xi turned around and left without any pause.
Compared to the grain store, the front door of the grocery store can be described as empty - on a cold day, who wants to go out and suffer the cold if they have something at home?
At that time, the only clerk in the grocery store was huddled in a corner packing mushrooms.
The temperature has dropped to a new low in the past few days. Most other stores are closed, but his store owner insists on keeping it open.
What's the use of leaving it open?
Half a day passed and he didn't see a single customer come in!
"Hey, what are you trying to do? Don't I get paid?"
The clerk doesn't understand. The clerk doesn't understand.
However, the next second he was slapped in the face by reality.
"Boss, is there any salt left?"
"Yes, yes! How much salt do you want to buy, little lady?"
There is someone, there really is someone, and she is a beautiful little lady!
The waiter jumped up on the spot and looked at the only customer in the store with gleaming eyes.
Cheng Xi glanced at him strangely, his eyes moving across the merchandise one by one.
"How much salt do you have here?"
"Well, it's a full one hundred and fifty kilograms. Madam,
why are you asking this? "
"I've got them all."
Cheng Xi took out three banknotes from his body and placed them at the counter without saying a word.
"All, all???"
The guy was dumbfounded.
"They all need it, right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll take it."
Cheng Xi was originally a resolute person. After paying the money, he grabbed a sack in one hand and picked it up effortlessly. Walked out of the grocery store.
The guy gasped, dumbfounded again.
"?!"
What just happened? Was he awake and dreaming?
However, the three fifty-tael banknotes at the counter clearly told him that it was the truth.
"No wonder the shopkeeper keeps the shop open. I bet he knows he has big customers!"
He must have secretly read the almanac himself!
Here Cheng Xi found a deserted place, threw the two bags into the space, and wandered around again.
First, he went to the embroidery shop and bought a lot of embroidery thread for Xingqi. Then he took out the medicinal materials that Shen Xingluo had given him from the space and exchanged them for two hundred taels of silver at the drug store.
"Now my wallet is full again."
The previous three thousand taels of silver notes have been spent seven thousand seven hundred and eighty eight, and finally something has been credited to the account.
Shennong Mountain is a big treasure house. Occasionally, if you have no money, you can buy some goods. This is much more profitable than working hard at the dock selling food.
"As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the return. Economists do not deceive me!"
Cheng Xi decided to go there often when he had time.
Even if you can't come across precious medicinal materials, scaring small animals can still increase the fun, right?
For the last stop, she went directly to the inn in the south of Lin'an Prefecture. As Shen Xingluo expected, Cheng Daqian's latest family letter had arrived.
"Xiaoxi, are you here to get the letter?"
"Yes, does Brother Sun have any news from the north? I heard that there is a snowstorm over there." "
Indeed, there is."
Sun Xiaorong carefully observed the surroundings and took Cheng Xi to look for it. A secluded place.
"The snowstorm in the north is quite serious. Many people froze to death. Some people from several prefectures have even decided to move south."
"Is it so serious?"
"The prefect has already received the news. Anyway, I'm worried about the price of food in the future. It's going to rise, so prepare more."
Cheng Xi was surprised, not expecting him to be so well-informed.
But what happened to the pause just now?
Isn't the prefect Zhou Xuzhi's father? My son is not a good bird, and I guess I am not too kind either.
Cheng Xi glanced at Sun Xiaorong again and gradually understood the meaning of his words.
"I understand, Brother Sun, please prepare more."
