Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan stood at the gate of the county seat and looked at the city gate not far away.

Tears almost flowed.

It’s really not easy.

God knows how she managed to walk on the ancient dirt road for nearly two hours wearing a pair of straw sandals.

Cheng Wan felt that if she continued walking, her legs and feet would become useless.

It was already noon, and there were very few people entering the city at this time. The gatekeepers guarding the city gate did not give Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping any trouble. They only looked at their household registrations, reminded You Chu to close the city gate, and let them in.

As soon as she entered the city, Cheng Wan intuitively felt the fireworks atmosphere that was completely different from that in the village.

The restaurants and restaurants on both sides of the road are busy at this time.

As Cheng Wan walked on the street, she could hear the waiter's voice greeting guests inside.

Cheng Wan touched her stomach. She was so hungry.

The two pieces of cornbread brought from home had long been shared by Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping on the road.

Cheng Wan touched the four coins given by Mrs. Lin in her arms again and decided to get down to business first.

"Second brother, let's go to the pawn shop first."

Ever since Cheng Wan directed and acted in a play on the road and picked up the gold necklace and silver bracelet in front of Cheng Erping.

Cheng Erping was tense all the time, fearing that someone would come and rob Cheng Wan if he knew he had a baby in his arms.

Just like now, Cheng Erping didn't even care to look at the long-awaited county seat. He only followed Cheng Wan closely and looked at others defensively.

Cheng Wan reminded him that the more nervous he was, the easier it would be to attract others' attention.

Cheng Erping also knew it, but he couldn't control himself. Not to mention his age, even his father had never seen anything so valuable.

If Cheng Wan hadn't insisted on coming to the county town, Cheng Erping would have wanted to immediately turn around and take the two treasures home.

Taking out the gold necklace and silver bracelet and pawn them together was Cheng Wan's carefully considered choice.

Picking up gold and silver once can be considered good luck, but twice is a bit evil.

And as long as no one else gets the advantage and is insatiable, Cheng Wan doesn't mind letting her family live a good life together.

As for the pair of pearl earrings, Cheng Wan planned to keep them for Wang or herself. After all, they were really beautiful.

"Awan, do we really want to pawn them? Or we should take them home and let them make up their minds."

Cheng Erping was a little scared. He had never participated in such a big decision in his life.

"I have the final say on what I pick up. And we are not messing around. After we pawn, we will have money to buy some food to take home. Second brother, don't you want to eat meat?"

At the mention of meat, Cheng Erping swallowed his saliva.

He has only eaten meat once in his life.

One time, Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu went to work at another house, and their host gave them a bowl of cabbage stew.

Cheng Erping still remembers the scent.

Coming out of Chen Ji's pawnshop, Cheng Erniu felt a little dizzy, as if his feet could not touch the ground.

Cheng Erping grabbed Cheng Wan's arm with his head spinning, "Awan, this..., we have one hundred and fifteen taels of silver now?"

After saying that, Cheng Erping quickly looked around to make sure no one noticed what he was saying, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "A Wan, am I not dreaming?"

Cheng Wan pinched Cheng Erping's waist directly.

"Ouch!"

"Is it a dream?"

Cheng Wan asked a little funny.

Cheng Erping grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears, looking silly, "It's not a dream, it's not a dream. Let's go home and talk to them. They will pass out with joy."

Cheng Wan was also very happy. She originally thought that the two things together could be exchanged for fifty taels of silver, but she didn't expect that just a gold necklace could be exchanged for one hundred and ten taels of silver.

She underestimated the appeal of the necklace's style and craftsmanship to the ancients.

Cheng Erping suddenly asked worriedly: "Ah Wan, is it really okay for us to leave the one hundred taels of silver with Boss Chen first?"

The one hundred taels of silver Cheng Erping mentioned were ten silver ingots worth ten taels.

When Boss Chen asked Cheng Wan whether they wanted banknotes or silver ingots, they both chose silver ingots.

After all, heavy silver ingots feel much more substantial than a banknote.

But precisely because it has such a strong presence, it is very inconvenient and unsafe to carry it with you when going shopping or doing errands.

So Cheng Wan and Boss Chen agreed that the one hundred taels of silver would be temporarily deposited in the pawn shop and would be picked up later.

"Don't worry, didn't we ask before we came here? Boss Chen has a very good reputation in the county. He doesn't need to cause trouble and gossip for a mere hundred taels of silver."

Cheng Wan touched the cassock on her waist that was a friendly gift from Boss Chen and said energetically, "Let's go eat!"

Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping did not go to restaurants or restaurants for a big meal, but chose a roadside stall selling wontons.

The wontons have thin skin and plenty of meat. There are two drops of sesame oil in the soup and a handful of chopped green onions.

Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping couldn't bear to lift their heads after eating.

Cheng Erping drank the last sip of soup in the bowl and wiped his mouth.

"Awan, I have never eaten such delicious food in my life. It's a pity that they didn't come and couldn't eat such delicious food."

"It's okay. Let's buy some delicious food to take home later. They will also be very happy."

Cheng Wan heard what Dr. Zhang said yesterday. She had planned to buy some nutritious food to take home.

The two of them walked towards the Rejuvenation Pavilion while observing the county seat and talking.

Cheng Wan said at the dinner table in the morning that she would show the ointment given by Dr. Zhang to the doctors in the city. Naturally, she was not trying to trick people. She really had this idea.

Just now at the pawn shop, Cheng Wan inquired with Boss Chen.

According to Boss Chen, Dr. Cao of the Huichun Pavilion is highly skilled in medicine, and the medicines sold at the Huichun Pavilion are priced fairly.

It was a pity that Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping were not there by chance. Dr. Cao had gone out to see someone and could only come back an hour later.

"Awan, where are we going?"

Cheng Erping followed Cheng Wan confused.

"Go to the rental car dealership."

“What is a car rental agency?”

"I just asked Boss Chen at the pawn shop about the place where you can rent a carriage. He said it's in the west of the city. You must have been distracted and didn't hear it."

"What are you doing there?"

Cheng Erping's head didn't turn around for a moment.

"Of course I'm renting a car, otherwise what else could I do?"

Cheng Erping stopped immediately and took Cheng Wan's arm, "Wan, let's just walk back. Why are we spending the money? Although I have a little money in my pocket now, there are many places to spend it."

Cheng Wan turned around and looked at Cheng Erping seriously, and said in a sincere tone: "Second brother, I can't walk, and we have to buy a lot of things later. How can we take the things home?"

"Besides, by renting a carriage, we can get home in an hour at most. This way we can spend more time exploring the county. It's not easy for us to come here."

The process of renting a car was smooth.

Explain where you want to go, what time to leave, and pay the deposit, and it's done.

After leaving the car rental agency, Cheng Erping was excited that he could take a carriage home, but also felt sorry for the rent.

"This is too expensive. It costs forty pennies. A round trip in an oxcart only costs four pennies. When Nai found out, Nai decided to scold the prodigal son."

Cheng Wan ignored Cheng Erping's thoughts. Would it cost the same to hire a taxi or take a bus?

Moreover, only thirty of the forty coins were car rental fees, and the other ten coins were actually the driver's overnight expenses.

According to the time Cheng Wan and the car rental company agreed to leave the city, the coachman would definitely not be able to come back before the city gate closed. He would have to find a place to spend the night outside the city and return to the city at dawn.

According to past practice, the coachman would stay in a village closest to the county seat. The ten cents were the lodging fee and the carriage maintenance fee given by the coachman.

Anyway, Cheng Wan felt that the forty coins were well spent.

After finishing the matter of going home, the next step is Cheng Wan's long-awaited shopping!
