Chapter 476 Legend
"We didn't bring the scales here. Anyone of you who has the scales can lend them to us to weigh them, okay?"
Chu Lixuan looked at his daughter-in-law dotingly, saying that she seemed to have a weight, but when everyone heard that there was food for sale, everything else could be ignored.
Jiang Xinyan was thinking that she would finally make her first pot of gold. The previous exchange with King Zhenbei was a loss-making business, which was really not easy!
From an empty grain store, a lean shopkeeper in his forties rushed out, nodding and shouting at Chu Lixuan and his wife.
"I have it, I have it, sir, please sell it to the small one for ten kilograms of rice, and the small one will weigh it for you for free?"
"Yeah! Okay, then you first come and carry this bag of polished rice to weigh, and this bag of rice will be sold to you." Jiang Xinyan's sweet voice was particularly pleasant.
"Others who want to buy rice and flour, consciously queue up, don't crowd, first come first serve, people who are deliberately crowded will be disqualified."
The shopkeeper of the equally empty grain shop on the opposite side: "..." This is fine! Liu old man is shameless.
He went to line up in a single step, and other people nearby voluntarily line up, and everyone told each other.
"Don't be crowded. People who are deliberately crowded will be disqualified from buying. Don't be crowded."
The shameless old man Liu ran to the carriage with a smile on his face, "Thank you, sir, the little one's surname is Liu, and the neighbors call him little old Liu. When weighing the scales, the little one will be fair and just."
"Old man Liu, Madam Ben believes in you." Jiang Xinyan said, motioning to Chu Lixuan to bring him a bag of rice with her eyes.
Old man Liu looked at the man like he was carrying a bag of cotton, thinking it was not heavy, he wanted to pick it up with his hands, but Chu Lixuan threw it directly on his shoulder.
Old man Liu was crushed to the point of staggering. The bag of rice was 100 jin. Old man Liu was the shopkeeper.
The old man Liu gritted his teeth and staggered toward the store, and the kind neighbor immediately stepped forward to help him.
"Don't crush your waist, old man Liu. I'll carry it in for you. If I don't grab the rice later, you can give me some of it."
After a while, there was a long queue, and the people behind were worried, but they had nothing to do anyway.
Just watch the fun. If you are lucky, you may not have it. Everyone is lined up with excitement and anxiety.
At this time, I heard the sweet voice of the yellow warbler coming out of the valley, "Each person is limited to ten catties of rice and ten catties of flour, and our bag is one hundred catties.
That is to say, ten people divide a bag of rice and a bag of flour, and when the money is ready, they will come and collect them in order.
Wait for the old man Liu to help you separate, and if you are not fit enough, come to us immediately, do you understand? "
"Understood, ten of us hurry up and get four, two or three hundred cents for you, so we can carry a bag of rice and a bag of flour and leave."
The shopkeeper who despised the old man Liu, this time, he figured it out quickly. He just wanted to show his face in front of the nobles, and he didn't care whether he slapped his face or not.
"Yeah! This uncle counts really fast. You can collect money for us and sell you an extra ten kilograms of rice later." Jiang Xinyan especially likes people who are aware of current affairs.
The middle-aged shopkeeper, who despised others, immediately came out with a smile on his face. He stopped lining up, walked between the ten people in the first team, and extended his hand to the elder.
"Hurry up, hurry up, you can pay one or two people in advance, and then you can do the calculations later. Come on, give me four, two, or three hundred cents first, and then I can immediately take two bags and divide them."
Jiang Xinyan: "..." Let me stop, this person is too smart!
Someone immediately echoed and agreed with his statement, "Hey! I'll give you four taels, whoever has three hundred wen, hurry up, we can go to decimeter and flour."
The first team quickly handed over the money, and ten people came out with two bags, Jiang Xinyan took a big wooden basin to collect the money.
She smiled like a flower, and she was bubbling with beauty. Chu Lixuan watched her daughter-in-law happily accept the money, so she distributed a bag of rice and a bag of flour.
The couple cooperated tacitly, and the others also cooperated very well.
Jiang Xinyan got a plate full of silver and got on the carriage, put it into the space, and took the opportunity to bring the food out of the space.
It took an hour to sell the food for the "two carriages". Normally, a carriage can hold a maximum of 3,000 catties, or 30 bags.
A cup of tea can be sold out, but they have been collecting money and dividing the flour by decimeter, and no one cares about how much is sold.
Almost all the wealthy people in this street bought food, and those who happened to come to this street to work on errands also bought rice and flour.
Some people wanted to queue up again, but Jiang Xinyan shouted, "No more, don't queue anymore."
There are also many poor people who are penniless, standing beside them and watching, they do not line up, because there is no copper plate.
Jiang Xinyan looked at the impoverished poor, their clothes were covered with patches and holes.
"Hey! It seems that you haven't had porridge for a long time, so let's do it! Our couple originally wanted to leave a few bags to eat on the way back to the capital, but now we will distribute them to you, one bag per 100 people."
In this way, more than 20 bags were divided, and others were jealous, but they were afraid of Chu Lixuan, so they did not dare to bite.
This street is not a wealthy street, so the masters of the town and the real small families still don't know that Jiang Xinyan and his wife are selling food.
When they got the news, Chu Lixuan and his wife had already disappeared, but as long as they didn't go out of the city gate, they still had the ability to find them.
It's a pity that the family is no longer in Shaling Town, so when everyone wakes up and looks at the high-quality rice in their hands, they are overjoyed.
They have seen the real gods, how can there be such a beautiful person in the mortal world! There are thousands of bags of rice in two carriages!
The people realized the truth later, and scrambled to see the carriage left by the gods.
Jiang Xinyan and his wife did not want the carriage, and drove straight to the long-awaited Yumen Pass. The Yumen Pass in front of her was not as majestic as Jiang Xinyan imagined.
From a distance, it looks like a huge, yellow, irregular tofu, and like a boulder falling from the sky, standing in the desert away from the noise of the city.
Chu Lixuan told his daughter-in-law that this Yumen Pass was guarded by the General of the West of the Town of Dongchen Country, and the General of the Town of West was Zhao Chengan, the second son of the Dingxi Houfu.
The eldest son of Dingxi Hou's mansion and the eldest son stayed in the capital, and the eldest son was the prince of the Hou's mansion, and they were almost the emperor's hostages.
In the event of a large-scale war, Lord Hou still has to go to the battlefield in person, and the prince cannot leave the capital no matter what.
The Yumen Pass has been defended, the Zhao family has been prosperous and wealthy from generation to generation, and the prince has been passed down from generation to generation.
One glory and one loss are all losses, so when the imperial court has no military pay, the Zhao clan still try their best to raise food, and don't starve the Zhao family's army to death.
