MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 63 Why do these words sound so familiar?
Chapter 63 Why do these words sound so familiar?
In the end, the villagers gave Chen Xue a ram, two ewes, and two female servants to serve one 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 cash for one lamb. However, Chen Xue and the other two knew that this price was too low, so they thought about it and gave them 20 taels of silver.
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 were painstakingly grown and managed cost more than a few hundred yuan just to buy fertilizers, but in the end they were sold for only one yuan per kilogram.
They are not saints, but they are not hard-hearted people either. For those who are in difficulty, they will naturally help those they see.
More importantly, 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 the villagers in tears of gratitude. Before leaving, the villagers also gave them some specialties, such as dried sweet potatoes, dried mushrooms and other dry goods.
Had it not been for the strong refusal of the two people, 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, thinking about how to buy cattle safely without harming others.
He does not want to cause others to be sentenced or exiled because of buying cattle, so that he will have a bad conscience for the rest of his life.
But because he once worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he saw a lot and 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 does not do anything illegal, he can still be flexible. Of course, he has not thought of a good way yet.
With the idea of getting a few cows hidden in his heart, Mr. Chen took Chen Xue to the city. When they reached a deserted place, Chen Xue put 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 have bought these. Let’s see what else is left.”
“Buy some bamboo hats!” Mr. Chen said thoughtfully, “Our family has a lot of people, and two carriages can’t fit in. They have no place to hide when it rains. They can also hide from the rain if they have 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 on an autumn trip?"
Although the Double Ninth Festival has passed for some time, everyone’s enthusiasm for the autumn festival has not diminished. He has already seen many people coming to buy things for the autumn festival.
"If guests plan to spend the night in the wild, they 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 mountaineering and are not easy to slip…”
The waiter introduced it enthusiastically, as if he really thought the two of them were going on an autumn trip, 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 in autumn, but in exile. They didn't know if the waiter in the shop would be so enthusiastic, or if they would immediately turn around and run to the county government to report 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!”
Before Mr. Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Xue. Although Xiaodie was a good cook, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so the food in the space was still a bit lacking.
More importantly, Chen Xue has never tasted the delicacies in this world. Although she has memories of her previous life, she has not experienced it personally.
Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's buy your mother some delicious food."
However, while walking, Mr. Chen suddenly fell back and looked at Chen Xue with some embarrassment.
"Ahem, that Xiaoxue, dad's money is all spent..."
As he said that, Mr. Chen felt a little embarrassed, because a voice came to 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 paste, dragon beard cake, sheepskin filaments…”
After a while, Chen Xue came over carrying large and small bags full of things. Mr. Chen was a little stunned.
How long has it been...
“Ahem, Xiaoxue, we are in exile, not traveling. It’s not good for you to bring so many things...”
With so much delicious food to bring back, I'm afraid the entire exiled team will go crazy, and then the entire Chen family will become the target of public criticism.
“Dad, have you forgotten that I have space?”
Mr. Chen slapped his head and said, "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 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...”
After a while, Chen Xue was dumbfounded as she watched her father come back full of things, and was speechless.
“Dad, didn’t you just say that we were exiled and not traveling, so why didn’t we buy so many things?”
“Isn’t there room?”
Mr. Chen said without hesitation.
Chen Xue: “……”
That makes sense!
But, why does this sentence feel so familiar?
The two of them were shopping together in 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 a family happiness.
It's just that Captain Sun and the others are unlikely to agree to let their family of three enter the city. If he runs away, where will he find someone?
It’s okay if you catch the person, but if you don’t find the person, he will be punished.
So, 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. They turned around and saw that it was the government servant in the team, and he was also the person who followed them before.
It’s just that the two of them haven’t found themselves yet.
“Pfft!”
Seeing two government officials passing by without noticing herself, Chen Xue couldn't help laughing.
“What are you laughing at!” The yamen servant was angry. When he heard someone laughing, he turned around and glared at Chen Xue.
Chen Xue immediately opened his mouth and pointed at his mouth, indicating that he was mute.
“What bad luck!”
The yamen servant cursed and turned around to leave. Apparently, he did not associate them 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.
Watching the two government servants walking away, Chen Xue and Mr. Chen looked at each other and burst into laughter.
