Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

After dinner, Jiang Nan packed up his bag and planned to go to a nearby town with the money he had. He didn’t know how far it was or if there was anything to sell there.

There are too many things that need to be bought at home, and another thing is that the sponsor needs medicine, and it takes too much time to go up the mountain to look for it.

Jiang Nan took the little guy to the village head's house first.

Now that I have money in hand, I want to ask about buying a house.

"Hello, auntie," Jiang Bei called out before Jiang Nan when they arrived at the place.

"Aunt, are you home?" Jiang Nan only thought about it for a moment and understood what Jiang Bei meant.

This child is really good at reading people's expressions.

Jiang Nan reached out and touched Jiang Bei's head.

"I'm here, girl, wait a minute, I'll call someone for you," the headman's wife turned and walked towards the makeshift tent.

"Miss Jiang, is there something wrong?"

"I want to ask the head of the village how much the house I'm staying in now costs. I want to buy it and settle down in the village."

"If you want to buy it, just give two taels of silver! That place is remote and no one wants it." When the head of the village heard Jiang Nan's purpose, he was a little surprised that the little girl actually had money to buy land.

"Uncle Village Head, are there any other procedures required?" Jiang Nan continued to ask. She really didn't understand such things in ancient times.

But I still kept it in mind and asked a few more questions to avoid trouble in the future.

"If you want to buy it, come to me tomorrow and I'll ask the villagers to issue you a receipt for the sale of the village land."

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow. By the way, Uncle Lizheng, is our village far from the town? I want to go to the town."

"It would take you an hour to walk there. There are usually horse carriages in the village, but I've been busy with family matters lately."

"If you are going today, come with me. The rocks that fell from the earthquake in the village were cleared yesterday, and I am also going out to report on the situation in the village."

"Well, then I'll thank the head of the village," Jiang Nan hurriedly thanked him.

It would be great if someone could take them there.

Jiang Nan stood in front of the main gate of the village waiting and looking at the houses around him. Some houses in the village that were less damaged had already begun to be repaired.

After a while, he came out leading his own ox cart.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Nan took the two little ones and got on the wobbly ox cart. This time the chief helped her again.

She should thank a stranger who helped her like this.

On the way, Jiang Nan saw more villages affected by disasters. No matter when, people are insignificant in the face of natural disasters.

"Qingshi Town is just ahead. You guys take a look around. I have to go to the county to report on the situation in the village. I don't know when I'll be back. Go back after you're done."

"Okay, I'll trouble you today."

Jiang Nan got out of the car and thanked the people. There were still quite a few people in the town, but most of the shops had collapsed. However, there were still quite a few stalls in front of the shops.

I guess he wanted to get rid of the things he had as soon as possible after the earthquake.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Jiang Nan didn't rush to buy anything, but took a walk around the town first.

Qingshi Town is not big, and Jiang Nan saw that there were too few shops in the town, so he asked someone and found out that Qingshi Town was close to the county, so people usually went to the county to do their shopping.

Jiang Nan first took the two little ones to the pharmacy to get medicine for the sponsor.

When we arrived at the pharmacy, we saw a long line outside as many people had been injured after the earthquake.

It seems that I need to prepare more commonly used medicinal herbs.

"Miss, where do you feel uncomfortable?" The doctor who was examining Jiang Nan at the door asked her after waiting for a long time.

"Someone in my family is injured, and I want to get some medicine."

"Is that so? Then just go inside and let the guys catch it for you."

"Someone in my family was injured. I want to buy some medicine to stop bleeding and prevent infection, as well as some cloth to bandage the wound."

Nowadays, gauze is used. He has forgotten what it was called in ancient times.

"Okay, wait a moment."

"Two portions of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicine and cotton cloth." The waiter shouted inside.

"Wait, can you give me two more? My home is far away." Two portions are not enough.

"Miss, we are running short of medicinal materials right now, please forgive me."

"Okay!" Now it's impossible to buy more. I am a pessimist and whatever I think will come true.

"Please take the medicine. It costs one ounce of silver."

"By the way, do you buy medicinal herbs here?"

"Received."

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Nan took out a piece of silver from his black purse and handed it over.

This medicine is expensive enough.

After leaving the drugstore, Jiang Nan took the two little ones to buy food.

There weren't many people selling things after the disaster. Jiang Nan only saw one stall selling pots, pans, and utensils. There were only a few kitchen knives, two or three deformed pots and pans, and a few bowls on the stall.

"Girl, come and see. I'm the only one in town still selling these things."

Jiang Nan squatted down to choose, and finally picked out a pot with a better shape, a kitchen knife, and four bowls.

"How much is this, boss?"

"The pot costs you 100 wen, the kitchen knife costs wen, and the bowls cost wen each, four of which cost wen each, a total of wen."

"Boss, one hundred and twenty cents," Jiang Nan began to bargain.

"No girl, this doesn't make any money," the boss began to play the victim.

Nowadays, every penny has its own use, and bargaining is still necessary.

"One hundred and twenty-five." Jiang Nan took a step back. It was her first time bargaining and she had no experience.

"No girl."

"Then I'll take a look around again," Jiang Nan said, and turned to leave with the two children.

"Girl, girl, come back when it's useful."

"Okay," Jiang Nan took out another tael of silver from his purse.

"Hey girl, I can't find the change. Why don't you go to the bank next door and see if there's anyone there to change some copper coins?"

Looking at his brain, I thought it was modern times. He even forgot that the little thing had to be exchanged for copper coins.

Jiang Nan took the two little ones to exchange money again.

When we got there, we found it was a money house with only one house, which was already crumbling.

But Jiang Nan didn't expect that people in ancient times were so competitive. They worked so hard just a few days after the earthquake.

"Please give me some copper coins to exchange for two taels of silver." Jiang Nan said to the waiter inside.

"Miss, wait a moment," the waiter took the two taels of silver from Jiang Nan, looked at it, and took out two strings of copper coins from under the table.

After the man took the copper coin, he took out ten copper coins.

"Here, young lady, please count it. The total is 1990 wen, and the handling fee is wen."

"So expensive," Jiang Nan took the heavy copper coin, but his heart ached. The bank was really shady, charging ten cents as a handling fee.

After exchanging money and shopping, Jiang Nan went to the cloth shop to buy some autumn clothes.

Now the things in the store are basically usable, and the store owners set up stalls outside to have a big sale.

Jiang Nan stepped forward and picked and chose among the dusty pile of clothes. Finally, he picked out two sets of autumn clothes for each of the two little ones.

Jiang Nan also picked out two sets of ordinary black clothes for the sponsor who was lying at home, and two sets of clothes for himself, as well as two large bed sheets.

I plan to spread one on the ground, and use the other as a quilt when it’s cold at night. They can still be used for a while in this weather.

"How much is the total, boss?"

"Now all clothes are sold at half price. For children's clothes, you will pay 50 wen each, and for adults, 80 wen. For bed sheets, you will pay 20 wen. I will give you 4 sets of clothes for both children and adults, and 2 sets of bed sheets. The total is 560 wen."

All of a sudden, the clothes cost another half a tael of silver.

Jiang Bei, who was standing aside, looked at Jiang Nan's generous purchase of these things, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Seeing that there were outsiders around, he didn't say anything.

The little girl next to her saw the new clothes and laughed so hard that she almost couldn't stop smiling.

Jiang Nan wrapped all his clothes in a bed sheet and carried them on his back.
