Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

The host's wife nodded and did not answer, Xia Qiyue quickly gave the two children water to drink, then winked to let the younger brother and sister drink too, and drank another glass of water in one gulp.

In fact, at the end of the day, in order to save water, they didn't drink much water, and their mouths were extremely dry.

After the two children drank the water, they squinted their eyes and swallowed slowly with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Xia Qiyue didn't keep the hostess' wife waiting too long, she looked at her and opened her mouth.

"Ma'am, our situation is like this. The child really needs money to see a doctor..." Xia Qiyue said this, and looked at the two little guys who were satisfied after drinking the water. Look sick?

But the host's wife didn't think so. She looked at Xia Qiyue with sympathy in her eyes, thinking that she still had a baby in her swaddling arms.

After all, Ke'er and Xuan'er are already three years old, so it's normal to have a younger brother or younger sister.

"I really can't do anything about the current famine, so I exchanged the life-saving rations for money..."

"Okay, Tweety, go get the silver!"

The master's wife was kind-hearted, and upon hearing Xia Qiyue's words, she quickly asked the girl to get the money.

For 48 catties of wheat, Xia Qiyue thought it would be good to sell it at several times the price, but unexpectedly, the wife of the host family put it in her hands for two taels of silver.

"That's... too much!" Xia Qiyue said in a low voice. She really didn't want to return it, but the price of the two taels of silver was almost ten times higher than usual, and she deserved it.

"Big sister, just keep it. You don't even know how urgent the family's urgent need is with the wheat you sent. The old lady in the family has a bad stomach and can't eat too rough food. Now the grain store can't buy it." Seeing the old lady lose weight day by day after arriving at the fine grains... Alas, the drought has caused a lot, and now I have to buy all the draft..."

Xia Qiyue's eyes lit up, buy water?Such a good thing?

"Ma'am, what do you mean? Is there any water seller in this city?" Xia Qiyue asked excitedly.

The wife of the hostess seemed not expecting her to ask such a question, she was surprised, and then said clearly, "Yes, the county magistrate has surrounded the river and put people on guard, and this catty of water has been sold for as high as ten copper coins. Well, big sister, you have just entered the city, otherwise this would not be a secret."

"Ten copper coins for a catty of water?" Xia Qiyue was confused in the wind, ten copper coins for a catty of water?Then she felt that it was not too much for her to sell wheat at ten times the price. After all, her wheat was produced by the space, and it was the best of the best. The aroma of the wheat was particularly strong and the nutrition was particularly rich.

After coming out of the back door of this rich family, Xia Qiyue held a huge sum of two taels in her hand, carried her two children on her back and took her younger siblings to find the inn.

Although it was a famine year, the law and order in this county was surprisingly good. There were many refugees on the streets, and there were many people coming and going. However, the government servants came out to patrol from time to time. No one dared to rob them, and no one stayed in the city.

Because there are signs in their hands with dates on them, and the time limit for entering the city is one day, if they don’t have the current date in their hands, they will be kicked out of the city.

Xia Qiyue soon saw Ruyi Inn on the street, and she walked in without hesitation.

The shop waiter sat weakly in the hall to welcome the guests. When he saw Xia Qiyue and the others coming in, he didn't lift his eyelids, and said with dry lips.

"Is it objective to live in a store? If it's a tip, please go elsewhere, this store is no longer available!"

Of course Xia Qiyue knew about it, she walked up slowly, "We'll stay in a hotel! A medium room is fine, how much is it for one night?"

The shop waiter heard that he was staying at the hotel, but he stood up, "A medium room costs [-] copper coins for one night, and no meals are provided. If you need water objectively, it costs [-] copper coins per liter of water! Excuse me, objectively, do you want to live?"

Xia Qiyue also heard that a catty of water costs ten copper coins, but here it costs fifty copper coins for two catties. Go online and look at the conditions of this inn. At most, forty or fifty copper coins will be enough.

But she knew that at this time, everything should be expensive, even if she went out to find another one, it would definitely be the same.

So she nodded and asked for a medium room. As for the water, forget it. She still has a little water on her body, so she will eat some steamed buns and dry food first, so she won't cook porridge for now.

Seeing two taels of silver, the waiter's eyes lit up, he bit some of it with his teeth, then immediately changed his face, smiled and gave Xia Qiyue change, there was no silver, they were all copper coins, [-] copper coins, That is, eighteen hanging coins.

The waiter had already stood up to pick up the luggage in her hand, but Xia Qiyue didn't let her, she carried it by herself, and followed the waiter up to the second floor.

The room that the waiter took them to was not too big or too small. There was a bed, a soft couch by the window, an Eight Immortals table, a dressing table, a wardrobe, and a large bathtub behind the screen.

There are a lot of furniture in the house, but this bed is still not enough for sleeping. Fortunately, there is a soft couch beside the bed, and the weather is hot now, so I can sleep on it.

Xia Qiyue walked in, looked up, down, left, and right for a while, then put the two children down, put down the luggage and let the younger siblings put down, and then closed the door.

But the waiter still stood there, Xia Qiyue looked over in a puzzled way, and the waiter immediately spoke with a flattering smile.

"Objectively, there is some privately stored water here, which can be cheaper for you. It is absolutely clean. Look, do you want it?"

Xia Qiyue raised her eyebrows, "Cheap? How much?"

When the shop waiter heard it, he felt that there was something for him, and immediately regained his spirits, and began to brag about how good and clean the water in his hand was, so he could only call it poplar nectar.

"So you said so much, how much money is it?" Xia Qiyue became a little impatient. She has something to do in a while, so she can't waste time here.

"Thirty coppers per liter, isn't it cheap enough? There's only two liters of water, objectively, if you don't want it, there really isn't anything cheaper than this!"

Xia Qiyue didn't take it seriously, "I heard that the county magistrate is also selling water, and a liter of water is only twenty copper coins. Do you still think your water is cheap?"

The waiter in the shop smiled, "You don't know objectively. The county magistrate sells water, but if you want to buy water, you have to buy more than five liters, otherwise it won't be sold to you! If you don't have enough money, it's really a good idea." If I can’t drink water, I’m different, girl, if you want half a liter of water or half a catty of water, the small ones can be sold!”

Xia Qiyue understood and gained a better understanding of these operations in the city.

The co-authors are also engaged in wholesale sales, ten catties of water at a time, and if the money is not enough, it is still difficult to drink water.

A hundred copper coins is an astronomical figure for the victims of the famine, at least she didn't have a single coin before.

"Objective... Do you want this water? Your children's mouths are so dry, I think you don't have any water when you are saluting, buy some to quench your children's thirst!"

The waiter in the main store was in a hurry to buy water from the county magistrate. He didn’t have so many copper coins in his hand. Only by selling the water in his hand could he make up a hundred copper coins to buy water. If he didn’t buy water, he would be thirsty.

But after drinking the water in front of him, he has no money to buy water again. He just makes a difference so that he will not die of thirst, but in fact he can't earn extra money.
