After the locust disaster, my fairy reincarnation identity was exposed
Chapter 16 Do you know something?
Sihai Escort Agency is the only escort agency in town. No matter what you want, they will give it to you.
It can be as small as sending it to a mountain village or as big as sending it to the capital. As long as you pay, they dare to send it.
Before reaching the door, I heard the sound of haha coming from inside, which made my blood boil and full of life.
Xiang Ci's eyes sparkled when he thought that there were all men practicing martial arts inside, but his face looked obedient and quiet.
Hahahaha, a group of men practicing martial arts are all men, I want to see their abs.
Mr. Xiang walked up the steps and before entering the gate, a man came up to him and asked if he wanted to send someone away or to be a bodyguard.
When he heard that he was looking for someone, he welcomed him in.
Xiang Ci, who followed him in, walked around the screen wall and saw a group of shirtless teenagers practicing boxing.
There are also older men, but not as many as teenagers. Look at their lean bodies.
Hee hee, what a group of men.
Xiang Ci kept looking at the young man's face from the corner of his eye. His face was quiet and well-behaved, and he looked cute, innocent and shy.
On the contrary, if you prick your head and neck, that is the real look without squinting.
Xiang Ci heard the escort say: "Looking for Xiang Xinbai bǎi and Ye Kai? They have gone to send the escort and will not come back until two days later."
Xiang Ci pricked up his ears and listened.
Mr. Xiang cupped his hands and said, "In that case, please wait until they come back and tell them that there is no food at home. I hope they can buy some food and go home."
Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai work as escorts in the escort agency all year round. They can't go home even if they want to, so they have to ask someone to bring money home every time.
This time, they have not come home once since the beginning of the year.
The last time I was asked to bring money back, I said I would go home.
Unexpectedly, I went to escort again.
In fact, those two kids just wanted to make more money, so they picked up escorts again and again.
It is said that it will be two days later, but I really don’t know which day these two days are. In this case, it is better to let them buy more food and go home.
Of course, Mr. Xiang will also buy and store grain here.
The escort looked at the clothes of Mr. Xiang and the three of them without any trace, and then he understood everything: "Okay, I will definitely bring the words."
Seeing that Mr. Xiang was about to leave, for the sake of Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai, he still reminded him: "Old man, there have been some florists in the town during this time, and many girls and boys have disappeared."
Both Xiang Ci and Xiang Ling were underdeveloped girls. In addition, they were wearing boy's clothes and were thin and small. They looked like boys of about ten years old, so the escort warned them.
Mr. Xiang was slightly startled and glanced at the two girls at home: "Thank you very much."
Xiang Ci, who didn't say a word but looked around everywhere, followed Mr. Xiang out of the escort agency.
She lowered her head and took a look at what she was wearing. They were wearing navy blue linen clothes and layered bottoms. They were dressed like this and couldn't blame others for showing pity and pity in their eyes.
Hey, they are indeed poor people who have no money to buy food.
Mr. Xiang also saw the other party's sympathetic eyes, but at this age, he would never be able to shake his heart and become ashamed and angry.
He lives an open life, his family eats, drinks, and reads, his children are filial, and the whole family is healthy. Compared to most people, his family is very good, and he is already content.
Therefore, he doesn't care about the sympathetic looks of those people at all, and he won't feel so inferior that he can't hold his head up. He will do whatever he should.
Mr. Xiang walked to the end of the alley, stopped and looked at the two of them: "You just heard it, there is a patter, follow me closely, don't be taken away by the patter."
Xiang Ci and Xiang Ling didn't speak, but their expressions were clearly accusing Mr. Xiang. They came to town not to follow you around, but because they wanted to take a stroll.
Seeing them like this, Mr. Xiang thought that they were already in their teens and not four or five years old, so he didn't embarrass them any more.
He gave Xiang Ci and Xiang Ling ten coppers each: "You can buy whatever you want. When you buy it, come to us at the grain and oil store. Do you understand?"
When the two children are here, they can't be restrained. They need to be relaxed. He understands.
Xiang Ci looked at the copper plate in his hand, smiled and said with an extremely well-behaved smile, "Thank you, grandpa."
Xiang Ling nodded solemnly: "I will keep an eye on Xiao Qi."
Xiang Ci: "..."
Why should I take the blame? Am I better behaved than you?
After Mr. Xiang left, Xiang Ling walked towards the first street: "I'm going to buy silk flowers."
There is no girl who does not love beauty. Even if they grow up in a small mountain village, they are still girls who love beauty.
Xiang Ci, who was unfamiliar with the place, naturally followed her: "I don't buy silk flowers, I buy salt."
She can buy two catties of salt for five cents per catty. She is happy to share some of the household supplies.
Xiang Ling, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, causing Xiang Ci to stop in time to avoid running into him: "Why did you stop suddenly?"
Xiang Ling stared at her: "Do you know something?"
Xiang Ci panicked for a moment: "What do you know?"
Grandpa said that she was not allowed to tell her family about the severe drought now, because he had not thought of the most reasonable and appropriate way, so she did not tell her.
Xiang Ling stared at her, and when Xiang Ci wanted to run away, she said, "It's okay. Then just buy salt."
Official salt is strictly controlled. Although the grains are coarse salt as big as rice, which is bitter and astringent, if you don’t buy it, you won’t be able to eat it, so you have to buy it.
The two of them came out of the alley and saw a cloth shop. The colorful cloths inside were displayed at the door. They could see it at a glance.
The beautiful cloth made both of them slow down and look inside the shop.
The ready-made clothes inside have a pole passed through the sleeves and hung on the top, which is even more charming to girls.
The clerk in the store is introducing it to customers: "This white laminated fabric feels good, absorbs sweat well, and is soft. It is very comfortable for both adults and children. It only costs 60 yuan a piece."
White folded cloth is cotton, but sixty cents a piece is a bit expensive. Salt only costs five cents a pound, and rice only costs two cents a liter.
One bushel of rice costs twenty cents, and sixty cents can buy three bushels of rice, which can save their family of eighteen for nearly ten days.
No wonder the clothes had to be mended and mended for another three years. I really couldn't afford cloth.
But cotton is indeed better than linen. It absorbs sweat better and is more comfortable to wear.
Xiang Ci was wearing linen. Although it was worn out, it was definitely not as comfortable as cotton.
want to.
"This is silk." The waiter smiled so hard that he almost looked like a man with a crack. "This is a little more expensive, costing eighty cents per foot."
Cotton cloth costs sixty cents per piece, and each piece is almost 13 meters long.
But one foot of silk costs eighty cents!
Haha, it is indeed something that only rich people can afford.
Xiang Ci thought about the ten cents in his pocket and decisively pulled Xiang Ling away.
The two of them no longer dared to look at the items in the store. They felt distressed when they saw them. They felt even more distressed when they couldn't afford them. They could only look at the items on the stalls.
