The cannon fodder daughter was exiled, she has a system to earn gold
Chapter 41: 3 farm tools for 12!
"Hurry up, waiter. Weigh fifty catties of refined rice and fifty catties of flour."
The three siblings had something on their minds, so after entering the rice shop, Qin Zhongyue asked the waiter to weigh the rice and flour for them, and kept asking if the system was chasing them.
"No one is chasing us. Don't worry, host. The system will always be watching."
The brothers Qin Dafu and Qin Erlu followed him to the rice shop and kept looking outside, fearing that the six men had woken up or that any of their accomplices had come over.
The two of them didn't care, but their sister was there too.
Qin Zhongyue waited for a while but saw no movement from the waiter, so he looked at him in confusion.
"You don't have refined rice and flour at home?"
"Yes, I weighed it for you and you must buy it. Are you kidding me?"
The waiter looked at the three siblings who were still in prison uniforms and suspected that they were here to rob, so he asked another waiter to call the shopkeeper over.
"what do you mean?
We are newly exiled, but that doesn’t mean we can’t eat rice, right?”
Qin Zhongyue took a small piece of silver and weighed it in front of the waiter. The waiter saw it clearly and immediately put on a smiling face.
"It's mine, it's not. I'm blind. I'll weigh it for you right away!"
Xiao Er deftly weighed fifty kilograms of refined rice and fifty kilograms of flour for Qin Zhongyue, and brought them to Qin Zhongyue with a smile.
"This is our store's best refined rice, three cents a pound. Gray flour is also the best, four cents a pound. The total is..."
While the waiter was still fiddling with the abacus, Qin Zhongyue had already put the seventy cents counted by the system on the counter.
"This is a hundred coins. The remaining thirty coins are weighed for me. Hurry up."
They are in a hurry to leave.
Qin Dafu and Qin Erlu didn't care that their sister had bought such expensive rice and flour, they just wanted the waiter to hurry up.
The waiter didn't expect Qin Zhongyue to calculate so quickly, but he was not sure if it was correct, so he still had to use the abacus. Hearing Qin Zhongyue's urging, sweat broke out on his forehead.
The shopkeeper came over and took the abacus from the waiter, "Go weigh thirty kilograms of polished round-grained rice."
The shopkeeper used the abacus three times faster than the waiter and finished the calculation in a moment.
"Girls, take it."
Just as Qin Zhongyue was about to reach out his hand, his two brothers got there first.
"Let's go."
The three siblings quickly left the rice shop and walked quickly towards the west end of the street.
Qin Zhongyue learned through the system that there had been no suspicious people watching them, so he felt relieved.
It would be better if those six scums died.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
When Qin Zhongyue heard the familiar sound of blacksmithing, his eyes lit up, and he took his two brothers to follow the sound and found the blacksmith shop.
Qin Dafu and Qin Erlu really want to go home.
How could Qin Zhongyue miss such a good opportunity? She had something to sell, so she asked about the price today. Next time, she would come by herself and take the item home.
From a distance, I saw a thin man in his forties, with the right half of his upper body naked, swinging a hammer in his hand, hitting the iron in front of him with a loud bang.
The blacksmith saw that the visitor was looking at the three of them in rags, with neither enthusiasm nor contempt. He put down the hammer in his hand, looked at the three of them and waited for them to speak.
Qin Zhongyue saw that this man had no smile and no impatience on his face, and guessed that he was an introvert.
She smiled sweetly, "Uncle, my family wants to buy an axe, a shovel and a sickle. How much silver will it cost in total?"
"You guys just arrived, right?"
Unexpectedly, the blacksmith asked an irrelevant question, but Qin Zhongyue still nodded.
"I advise you to buy less."
After the blacksmith said this, the three men understood what was going on. If they bought three large pieces of iron tools as soon as they arrived, they would attract a lot of jealousy on the road. After all, they had just experienced this before.
"Thank you for the reminder, sir. How much silver do these three items cost in total?"
Qin Zhongyue knew that ironware was very expensive in ancient times, not much cheaper than silver.
Just wait for the blacksmith to quote a price, whether it is an ingot of silver or an ingot of gold.
Seeing that they had made up their minds, the blacksmith said nothing more and said, "If you want to buy all three items, it will cost one hundred taels."
"Farewell!"
Qin Zhongyue took the two brothers for a few steps, then turned back and asked, "Sir, do you have a hoe?"
"Twelve taels."
The hoe is relatively small, weighing about two or three pounds, so it is cheaper.
"My lady, you have to know that this is a place of exile. Iron is not much cheaper than silver, and it is even more expensive here."
Seeing Qin Zhongyue’s cracked face, the blacksmith kindly explained it to her.
"Sister, let's go home."
Qin Dafu and Qin Erlu only realized then that they simply couldn't afford it.
Qin Zhongyue originally wanted to buy a hoe, but was taken away by his two brothers.
Forget it, let’s go up the mountain to pick it up. At worst, if it’s not picked up by her, she can let the brothers pick it up themselves.
Because of those six people, Qin Dafu and Qin Erlu had to take another route. Fortunately, they didn't find anyone following them when they got home.
When they entered the village, many people saw the large cloth bags they were carrying. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they contained food.
Everyone's eyes turned red.
Some of those who had secretly hidden some gold and silver were also preparing to go to the town to exchange them for some food.
Those who had nothing were shameless and came to the Qin family's door crying, wanting to borrow some food.
"Sister Qin, we have come all the way here together, so we are considered fellow villagers. Can you lend me ten kilograms of food first, or five kilograms, considering that I have elderly parents and young children to take care of?
Let us get through this difficult time first, and when we have money in the future, we will pay it back immediately."
The food had just arrived home, and before Jiang and Qin Renshan had time to look at it, the door was blocked by people. There were not just one or two people, but as many as seven or eight.
There were also quite a few people watching from the side, waiting to see if these people could succeed, and if they succeeded they would all lend it to them.
“You don’t have to come to my house and cry. It’s hard for everyone right now. I lent it to you, so should I also lend it to them?
Our family has only bought this amount of food. If each of you comes to borrow five or ten kilograms, will our family still need to eat it?
So all the food I bought was given to you to eat, and then our own family starved to death?
Do you think that's possible? "
The woman didn't expect Jiang to say such a thing, and her face turned pale.
"Sister Qin, we were all exiled together, so we should all help each other. Otherwise, who will help you when you get into trouble? It will be difficult for you to gain a foothold if you are so unsympathetic.
Just because I borrowed it doesn’t mean I won’t pay it back.”
The woman continued to speak in increasingly harsher and harsher terms.
"Haha, we don't know each other, so who can borrow it?
This is the food that my child hunted yesterday in the mountains. There are plenty of prey on the mountains. You all have hands and feet, my child can do it, and so can you. If you just wait here to eat the ready-made food, then you might as well just sit at home and wait to die!
I don’t expect to get along with you.”
"Mother is mighty!"
Qin Zhongyue clapped her hands and cheered.
The people at the door saw that the Qin family would never lend them grain, and even spoke so harshly, so those who had any shame went back in embarrassment.
Jiang's move has really offended these people, and some of them are even thinking about ways to retaliate.
The Qin family is not blind. They can still vividly remember the faces of those people when they were on the road of exile. It is impossible for them to become people who help each other.
"Mom, I'm going to go up the mountain to find some herbs and wild vegetables."
Qin Zhongyue looked at the looks in the eyes of those people as they left. They thought that the sooner they got to the mountain, the better.
"You just came back, can't you rest at home? Aren't you tired?
Let your third and fourth brothers follow you."
Jiang originally wanted to let the eldest and second oldest sons follow, because they were the best fighters, but thinking that they must be a little tired after carrying the bag of rice all the way back, he decided to ask the third and fourth oldest sons who had been at home.
"Got it, mom. Let's go."
"Don't go too far. If you have any problem, please shout loudly. We can hear you."
