Chapter 115 Return
"Name?"
"Chen Dashan."
"From Lai'an Village?"
"Yes. Yes sir."
"What are you here for?"
"Sir, there is a lack of water in the mountains. The crops can no longer survive. We really have no food to eat. That is why we have to collect some food from all over the place to buy some food for the mountains."
"Just answer the question. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm here to buy food." The man in uniform wrote and drew on the tablet.
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Dashan agreed hurriedly.
"The food you just bought at Wu's grain store?"
"Yes."
"How did you buy it? Food prices have gone up, how can you still buy it so cheap?" Zhou Xiaozhou could tell that the man in uniform had bad intentions.
"Look," the man in uniform pursed his lips and asked Chen Dashan to look at the shopkeeper's head. "This traitor has been executed. I'm afraid your business is going to fail."
"Sir, we have a written contract here. This mixed flour costs five cents per pound, which is not cheap!" Chen Dashan was still arguing.
"It's not cheap, but it's not the market price either! It's clearly written on paper that the mixed noodles are six cents per pound."
Chen Dashan: "Isn't it because we bought more that the shopkeeper gave us a discount? Isn't it always the case that the larger the quantity, the better the discount?"
The man in uniform glanced at Zhou Xiaozhou who was surrounded by people.
"Oh, you're bringing a woman out on the street!"
Zhou Xiaozhou was puzzled as to what was wrong with the woman.
"Hey, you! What's your name?"
This was directed at her.
Chen Dashan did not continue speaking, so Zhou Xiaozhou could only answer himself: "Zhou Xiaozhou."
The man in uniform operated something on the tablet, then said with a grin, "No! You are a refugee!"
"Hey! Brothers, there's a person without identity here, come and take him away..."
"Sir, Sir, she is not a refugee." Chen Dashan then stepped forward to defend, "We came to the county today to register our household registration, and we just came out of the government office. Maybe this information is a little delayed."
After hearing this, the man in uniform raised his hand to stop the other men in uniform from coming over and dragging Zhou Xiaozhou away.
"You are quite sensible," after saying this, the man in uniform left. Of course, before leaving, Zhou was still holding the purple color that Chen Dashan had given him.
The people of Lai'an Village stood there waiting for a long time, watching the men in uniform take down the sign of Wu's Grain Store, smash it to the ground, and then replace it with a sign with gold letters on a black background that read Yang's Grain Store.
Oh my god, Zhou Xiaozhou finally realized why he felt that this grain store sounded familiar. Isn’t this Huang Liangduo’s employer?
The Yang family has come back to attack again, and Master Wu has been completely defeated.
At this time, the uniformed man who had just made things difficult for them stood at the door of the store and waved. Chen Dashan trotted forward.
"You are lucky. The store owner is kind. He doesn't care about your little trick of a few hundred dollars. Take your things and get out of here!" The uniformed man pointed to the street entrance and said, "Exit through the west gate. People are being arrested in the east."
This sentence changed Zhou Xiaozhou's opinion of him. He didn't expect that he was a good person! He even helped to guide him.
But Dahai and Xiaohai don’t think so.
After leaving the main commercial street, Dahai and Xiaohai started to complain: "If we go from the west gate, we have to go around a big circle to get back to the east gate."
"Why go back to the East Gate?" Zhou Xiaozhou was puzzled.
Dahai looked at Zhou Xiaozhou as if he was an idiot.
Xiao Hai still couldn't bear it: "Master Zhou, we went down the mountain to the East Gate. If we want to go back up the mountain, we can only go back from the East Gate!"
Oh, so that's how it is, Zhou Xiaozhou figured it out, and then she said no more, she was really afraid that the sea would look at her again. It would make her seem very ignorant.
Although she had no idea about anything here, she still felt a little ashamed after being exposed. It was because of her adult self-esteem!
The crowd walked from the main street towards the west gate. After walking for a while, they turned left and right and ended up in a crowded alley.
Only then did Zhou Xiaozhou's eyes open.
There were many small things on the ground, including vegetables, clay pots, needles and thread, and cakes and candies.
It turns out this is the 'farmers' market', and those places they went to just now were 'shopping malls'?
When they got here, Chen Dashan asked everyone to put down the sacks and go and exchange for what they wanted. They agreed to gather and return after a quarter of an hour.
Zhou Xiaozhou also wants to go, but she has no money?
So Chen Dashan and I had no choice but to guard the things.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Chen Dashan took out a purple coin and gave it to her, asking her to go shopping with the two brothers of the Hai family.
Zhou Xiaozhou was happy about this guess.
This was her first exposure to the currency of this world.
Just like what she had always seen, this purple coin was round on the outside and square on the inside. It was a bit heavy and should be made of metal. It felt slightly cool to the touch.
But she really didn't know any metal that appeared purple.
She seemed to take one back and have it tested.
Maybe you will find that this thing is a metal that does not exist on Earth.
The two brothers Dahai and Xiaohai were also very happy. Since Chen Dashan had given them the money, they would help spend it.
The three of them walked from one end of the street to the other.
It was really a small market with a makeshift troupe. Although it seemed to have everything, Zhou Xiaozhou didn't like anything.
Besides, she actually didn't want to spend the money and wanted to keep the purple coin for herself.
But looking at the eager eyes of the two Hai brothers, she knew that her hopes would be dashed.
As expected, Xiao Hai fell in love with a horn, which was made of some animal's horn. It was about the size of an adult's forearm, jet black, and looked very majestic.
Zhou Xiaozhou had no choice but to give the purple coins away, but he didn't expect the stall owner to give him a few purple coins in return.
This is?
Zhou Xiaozhou was shocked. It turned out that in this place, you can buy things for free and people even give you money?
The main thing is the purple coins that were recovered. Zhou Xiaozhou couldn’t tell any difference from the ones he gave away just now!
"Sea, this... this... is it right?"
Dahai nodded: "Yes, we gave ten cents, the owner gave four cents in change, and this horn is six cents."
Zhou Xiaozhou...
"Tell me, where can you see the ten-cent and one-cent notes?" Zhou Xiaozhou really couldn't tell at all. How could this kid tell?
The sea was also confused: "Wouldn't you know if you held it in your hand?"
Dahai fiddled with the coins he had found: "This is one cent, this is also one cent, and this is two cents."
Zhou Xiaozhou...she all looks the same!
So your coins are sensed by weight?
Do you all have an absolute sense of weight?
How do you know that? Isn't this bullying?
