Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Lu You walked forward along the road he remembered. Before he reached the market, he could already hear various shouts from afar.

"Freshly cooked tofu pudding, two cents a bowl..."

"Green vegetables and white cabbage..."

"Please come in, my two guests. The elegant seats upstairs are open to welcome guests..."

After turning a nearby intersection, Lu You was immediately refreshed by the lively scene in front of him.

Although we have just entered the city, Jianhe County is only a small county on the west side of Qingzhou, and it is not very prosperous.

Especially from Lu You's perspective, who is used to watching costume idol dramas, he even felt that the drama was a bit too depressing.

It was not until he arrived here and listened to the hustle and bustle around him that Lu You felt a hint of the worldly air.

This market was established to facilitate buying and selling.

The people in the city are not like farmers like Lu You who live in the countryside and villages outside.

Although living in the city provides a little more security, it also brings a lot of inconveniences.

Not to mention the curfew and closures, just getting food is much more difficult than for the villagers.

After all, in this city, except for those powerful masters who can have their own gardens and private land, the rest of the ordinary people can only have a few theaters at most.

Even if you open a few vegetable gardens in the yard, they are just for subsidies, and most people still have to go to the market to buy vegetables.

This also created an opportunity for the people outside the city to make money. At this time, on the roadsides on both sides of the market, there were many vegetable farmers shouting loudly to sell their products.

Not only these, there are also firewood, fish, mountain products, and some miscellaneous small items. The variety is so wide and countless!

These people set up stalls here to make money, but it's not for nothing. There are special people from the county government who collect stall fees.

Although the means are sometimes a bit harsh, they are still reasonable and fair.

This is called a market, but in fact it is just a long street in the city, with a total length of no more than 100 meters. It is right next to the main road that runs through the town, so it is convenient for travel.

Turning into the market, Lu You walked through the crowd towards the center of the market.

Although the original body had not been here many times, he had been here twice, and those rice and flour shops were all in this market, so he was quite familiar with the route.

However, this time, Lu You did not plan to buy food first, but went straight to the tea stall in the center of the market and sat down.

"Boss, give me a bowl of herbal tea!"

Lu You shouted softly to the owner of the tea stall, then reached out, untied his belt, and took off the two strings of copper coins tied around his waist.

This time, Lu You brought a total of four coins of silver, two of which were small changes that he had cheated from Hu Laojiu who had fallen into the water.

The remaining two coins are the two hundred copper coins strung together in front of you.

A few days ago, I cheated Lu Sanhu out of eight cents of silver, and it was all copper coins like this.

Eight hundred copper coins may not be a lot, but they do take up a lot of space and there is no way to keep them close to your body.

Although Lu You used Lu Sanhu to intimidate other people in the village and let everyone know that the three siblings were not easy to mess with.

But there is a saying, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it."

Showing off in the village with such a pile of copper coins will inevitably attract the covetousness of others.

So Lu You’s purpose of this trip is only one: to spend money!

Not only should this money be spent, but it should also be spent ostentatiously so that everyone knows that you are a spendthrift.

If the money is gone, you will be safe.

However, even if the copper coins were tied together and tied around the waist, they were still a bit heavy. Lu You and Lu Yi could only tie 200 coins around their waists.

Bah! !

Along with the crisp sound of the copper coin hitting the table, the shopkeeper who was originally pouring tea listlessly was frightened and immediately pulled off the rag on his arm and covered the copper coin with it.

Faced with the boss's unusual behavior, Lu You subconsciously stretched out his left hand and pinched the boss's pulse.

At the same time, he stood up and raised his foot, and his right hand directly touched the handle of the knife on his calf.

This subconscious action startled not only the boss but also Lu You himself, who secretly marveled at the magic of Zuo's boxing style.

"Old man! Are you crazy? You're robbing in broad daylight?"

Lu You grabbed the boss' wrist tightly and spoke loudly.

"Don't shout, stop shouting!"

The tea stall owner whispered to Lu You.

Seeing that the boss looked nervous and didn't seem to be faking it, Lu You let go of the knife handle with some hesitation.

"Tell me! What on earth are you going to do?"

Lu You pushed the boss's hand aside and asked with a frown.

The boss did not reply, but first bowed and apologized to the spectators on both sides, then turned around and looked at Lu You again.

"Young lady, judging from your clothes, you don't seem to be from a wealthy family."

"You...are a farmer from outside the city, right?"

Hearing this, Lu You looked down at the clothes she was wearing. Although they were clean, they were indeed a bit simple.

Especially the cloth shoes on his feet, the edges were worn quite badly.

"Why? Just because I'm not from the city, are you going to rob me by force?"

"What are you talking about?" The boss waved his hands and said, "Girl, I'm just afraid that someone else will snatch you away!"

As he spoke, the boss carefully tidied up the rag covering the copper coins.

"Although I don't know why your family would let a girl like you show up in public, you really have too little experience in going out."

"Girl, don't show off your wealth!!"

Pushing the big bowl filled with herbal tea in front of Lu You, the boss shook his head and sighed.

Lu Youwen was slightly startled, turned his head to look around, and immediately thought to himself that something was not right.

Because of the commotion just now, many people have noticed this place.

Without exception, all of these people's eyes fell on the two strings of copper coins on the table.

[Negative emotions from Wang Jun +10, +8, +5...]

[Negative emotions from Sun Fu +3, +3, +3...]

[Negative emotions from Xu Erlai +5, +3, +1...]

As the system prompt sound continued to ring in his mind, Lu You slapped his forehead helplessly.

Finished!

This time, he was completely targeted!

I just felt the two strings of copper coins weighing on my waist and wanted to take them off to rest for a while, but I forgot about this matter.

Looking at the copper coin that was mostly covered by the rag, Lu You gave a bitter smile.

If this happened in the 21st century, with cameras everywhere on the streets, no one would dare to rob, let alone copper coins, even million RMB.

But here, with my stunted appearance, I was walking around with so much money.

It's hard to say which alley he was in when he was hit to death with a club.

"Uncle! You are a good man. I apologize to you." Lu You stood up and bowed slightly to the boss.

"It's all a small matter!" The boss waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "But this market is crowded with people, so you'd better be careful, girl."
