After leaving the county government office, Father Liu looked at the sun in the sky and could feel that the people around him were relieved.
In this dynasty, they were finally able to settle down, and being able to do so meant that they were much safer.
As long as you work hard, your life will be fine.
After coming out of the county government office, they felt that the weather was not so hot anymore. The sun was shining brightly with clear skies, and the future looked bright.
A world without zombie monsters would be nice too.
After coming out, a few people walked towards the main street, ready to ask for a place to stay for the night and plan their future journey.
As evening approached, more people walked on the street and more small vendors appeared.
Liu Caixia asked around and found out that because the weather was so hot, they seemed to have an agreement that, except for the shops selling food, all other shops would only be open for one hour in the early morning and evening.
Father Liu looked at the bustling streets, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. He thought about the money they had, which was indeed running out, and he still had to find a way to exchange for more money.
"Let's find a place to exchange some silver first. I always feel insecure without silver on me. All of you look for things you can take out to exchange, and each of you keep some silver on you."
Liu Caixia looked at the children next to her and saw them staring at the noodle shop. She felt like drooling. They really had no chance to sit down and have a good meal in the county town or other places along the way.
"Dad, let's go sit down at the stall over there and have a bowl of noodles! There's a noodle stall over there! Let's eat while we plan!"
Father Liu dusted himself off, his voice full of determination and hope.
They walked slowly along the bluestone road. On both sides were busy and orderly markets, with hawking and laughter intertwined, as if everything outside had no effect on them at this moment.
"Okay, I haven't eaten noodles for a long time. I'm really tired of eating wild vegetable porridge every day! But the noodles at this time probably won't taste that good. The seasonings are definitely not that complete!"
Liu Caixia: "Dad, it's enough to have something to eat. We have eaten all kinds of bad food since we came here. Even though the hot noodles look watery, they are better than the black vegetable paste!"
After Liu Caixia finished speaking, everyone else swallowed their saliva, thinking that what she said was so right.
Fang Chenxi felt a little embarrassed. She had spent Liu's father's money before, and they had no money. "Grandpa Liu, we have no money now. How about we change the money first?"
"Xixi, it's okay. We still have copper coins, enough for each of us to have a bowl of noodles. Let's eat first!"
The group walked up to the stall, which was set up by a couple in their 40s or 50s, and some people were already eating noodles.
There was a charcoal stove with a pot on it on a cart, and only two sets of tables and benches. It was a very simple set of equipment. A faint aroma of flour wafted from the iron pot. The greedy children swallowed their saliva and stared at the big iron pot, unable to take their eyes away.
Father Liu felt sad and amused. After he led a group of people to find a place to sit down, he shouted to the boss in a very generous manner: "Boss, give me ten bowls of noodles!"
"Okay, sir, there are so many of you and that table is too crowded. You can split a few of you over here. There are still seats here."
It seemed a bit crowded. At that time, all the tables were square tables, with eight people at each table. It was a bit crowded for them to sit together.
Liu Caiyun took the initiative to take Xiaomei and three other children to another table, leaving Liu's father and other adults to sit at one table.
Anyway, the people who made the decisions in their family have always been Liu's father and Liu Caixia, and now there's also Lin Weizhong, so it would be convenient for them to sit together and discuss the future arrangements.
"Dad, let's buy an ox cart! It can carry people on the road, and it can be used for farming after we settle down. It's too tiring to walk like this, and the children are still so young. If they work too hard, they won't grow tall in the future."
"But we don't know how to drive?"
"It's okay, Uncle Lin. We can buy someone who can drive a bullock cart and help with farming in the future. Slaves can be bought and sold in this dynasty. We'll go exchange some money later, and when we have money we can buy someone back."
Lin Weizhong saw things more clearly than them and accepted these unspoken rules early on.
"Okay, wouldn't it be a bad idea to buy someone? We don't know how long we'll be gone. How about waiting until we settle down before buying someone? It always feels a bit inconvenient to have outsiders join us."
"Dad, this county is quite big. We will be leaving soon anyway, so let's take out some valuable big things to exchange for money. We will need money later anyway, so it's not a good idea to wait until we get settled in the county to exchange it.
It would be hard not to attract other people's attention if I took out so many good things at once, but it wouldn't be too noticeable if I changed them here and left."
"Old Liu, Caixia is right. Let's exchange more valuables. Once we settle down, it will be difficult to show off our wealth."
"Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, don't worry. We have collected a lot of Ganoderma lucidum before, so we can take out more to exchange for money. We didn't have many gold and silver jewelry at home before, and we have almost exchanged them all!
During this time in the mountains, I was lucky enough to come across Ganoderma lucidum. I can mix some herbs and sell them. It shouldn’t be a big problem. People here can also collect some in the mountains.”
Lin Weizhong and his wife were both working class people, so they definitely didn’t have much gold, silver, or jewelry.
He probably didn't think of collecting some gold and silver jewelry on the way. He must have been mainly living on daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain and oil while fleeing. It was normal that he didn't have a lot of wealth.
"Grandpa Lin, I have gold earrings, a gold necklace, and a gold bracelet here. They are my mother's wedding gifts! I also have a diamond ring, but I don't know if the diamond ring is valuable?"
Fang Chenxi said that they still had something to exchange. Fortunately, the three golds they bought for the wedding were all gold. If they were platinum, it would be difficult to sell them. There seemed to be no platinum in this dynasty.
Father Liu thought about it and thought that these things should be able to exchange for a lot of money, and their family would just need to give some of them.
"Okay, don't take out all of them at once, just take two each. Caixia, ask Xiaolu to take two Ganoderma lucidum, and sell the two bracelets you bought on your trip. Keep the rest for now, and sell them in the capital when you need money or have the chance. Or sell them in other larger counties. You can get a higher price then."
"Got it, Dad. I'll get Xiaolu ready in a minute."
"Okay. That's it!"
