The Ancient Life of the Doomsday

Make a good record of what you need to bring to the village, and Pei Shaorong will pack the things that night, and rush to the town with Mo Xiaobao early the next morning, they will go with the passing caravan.

Although Linjiang Village is only five days away from Yueyang City, the ancient times are not like modern times, there are few people along the way, and there are many gangsters who rob things along the way.

This is also the reason why people seldom travel far away, and even if they go far away, many people go together. When Pei Shaorong came to Jiangcun and said that he was robbed, Aunt Qin and others did not doubt it, because it is so common to be robbed here!

In fact, Pei Shaorong took a little of the deposit for the villagers to carry things. Everyone doesn't know the price of Yueyang City, so they can only estimate it, and then settle the account when the things are brought back.

This time, Pei Shaorong also came to understand that the villagers in Linjiang Village are not as poor as he imagined. The reason why everyone looks so poor is that they are reluctant to spend their money, that's all. .

All the dried persimmons were packed into the space, and half of the candied hawthorn was packed. Everyone in the village knew that they were going to Yueyang City for business, so it would be impossible to bring nothing with them.

Pei Shaorong bought several small porcelain bottles for his own wine in the town and packed them separately. When he first came to the ancient times, Pei Shaorong found out clearly that the wine here is worth a lot.

Before the last days, Pei Shaorong was a rich second generation who would enjoy himself. After being reborn, he was even more determined not to wrong himself, and looked forward to living a chic and comfortable life in the last days.

Therefore, when preparing supplies, I was quite careful. There are no more tobacco and alcohol in the space than food, but it is more or less prepared.

When he first came to the ancient times, Pei Shaorong made a fortune selling tobacco and alcohol, but at that time he didn't dare to make it public because his status had not yet been settled, so he only dared to sell some common liquor.

Pei Shaorong didn't sell the rare wine here at the time, and Yueyang Town's economy is limited after all, and the prices are not as high as those in big cities, so things can't be sold at a high price.

Now that he has the opportunity to go to Yueyang City, Pei Shaorong is going to take this opportunity to make a good profit, and then go home to buy a house for Tianxiu and have a son!

In addition to wine, other things in the space, such as the smoked meat products prepared before, existed in ancient times, or something that could be replaced, Pei Shaorong also picked some out and prepared to sell them for silver.

Pei Shaorong is reluctant to sell those things that are not available in this era and cannot be reproduced. There are many ways to make money. Of course, he has to keep good things for his family to enjoy.

Even if he can't become rich, he can still ensure that Abao and his future children will live in comfort without worrying about food and drink. This is his responsibility as the pillar of the family!

It was still early when Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao arrived in the town, dragging a donkey with a lot of things and a cart, but the caravan that they agreed to follow had already prepared things and was about to leave.

"Brother Zheng, please take care of us on the road these few days..."

Pei Shaorong stuffed Tongguan copper coins into the hands of the big man at the front of the caravan. This is the leader of the caravan, named Zheng San. According to the rules of the road, if you want someone to protect you, you must not give the money.

"Brother, don't worry, take people's money and help them eliminate disasters, you can rest assured to follow our caravan, there are not many bastards who dare to take advantage of our caravan along the way!"

Zheng San put the silver into his arms in satisfaction, looked at Mo Xiaobao and the donkey cart behind Pei Shaorong and said with a smile, "Oh, brother, you brought your husband with you when you go out to do business... By the way, you donkey Can the cart keep up with our horses?"

"Brother Zheng, don't worry, I won't drag down the caravan's itinerary..."

Pei Shaorong nodded confidently. The cart pulled by the donkey seemed to hold a lot of things, but it was actually very light, and all the weight was in the space. It was not a problem to keep up with the horses that were really dragging heavy loads.

In fact, Pei Shaorong also wants to get a carriage, but horses are more expensive than livestock, like Yueyang Town, there are no horses for sale or rent, even if there are horses, they are all the private property of rich family members.

The people in Zheng Sanhe's caravan are not from the vicinity of Yueyang Town. I heard that their hometown is on the border of Dali Kingdom. has experience.

Next, Zheng San took people to check the things in their caravan, and set off immediately when they were ready.

This donkey driver is Abao. Pei Shaorong has been in ancient times for so long, and he has learned a lot of other things, and he has a little understanding of farming, but he really doesn't know how to drive donkeys.

It was winter now, and the weather was very cold and dry. The donkey cart prepared by the two was not like a carriage, but an open shed.

But the two of them didn't feel cold, because they were wearing thick clothes. In order to deal with the cold in the end times, Pei Shaorong had prepared a lot of things.

Before going out, the two of them put on thick clothes, and put modern warm babies on their bodies, and put on two warm military coats over the donkey cart.

Mo Xiaobao sat in front and drove the donkey, while Pei Shaorong held an umbrella behind to keep out the wind, and from time to time passed Mo Xiaobao his favorite hot milk tea, enjoying it very much.

"Brother Pei, that warm baby of yours is so useful..."

Mo Xiaobao admired Pei Shaorong's service while enjoying Pei Shaorong's service. Compared with them who were comfortable, the people in the caravan in front were cold and miserable.

The anti-cold items in ancient times were no better than modern ones. Although the people in the caravan took protective measures, it was still very cold.

Because they don't have modern thermos bottles like Pei Shaorong's that can keep hot water for a long time, the water bags here in winter can't keep hot water for long at all. If you want to drink hot water on a long-distance road, you have to stop burning it.

Zheng Sanhe and the people in the caravan in front also saw the leisurely and comfortable appearance of the two of them, and they were even more surprised when they saw them drinking hot water all the way.

After hesitating for a while, Zheng San rode his horse and ran towards them.

"Brother Pei, I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng has a question I want to ask. I saw that you were drinking hot water all the way. May I ask where you bought the hot water bladder, which can keep the temperature for such a long time?"

Just now Zheng San wanted to come up and ask. Their kind of caravan basically spends on the road all year round. Summer is fine, but winter is sad.

Because ordinary hot water bladders cannot keep hot water for too long, it is too troublesome for everyone to drink a sip of hot water on the road in winter, and it is very time-consuming to keep stopping to boil water.

Seeing the eagerness of Zheng San and several caravan people, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao looked at each other and smiled secretly in their hearts.

"This is it, we use a hot water bottle!" Pei Shaorong took out a boiling water bottle from his back and shook it in front of Zheng San.

"This is called a thermos bottle. Put hot water in it and keep it cold for several days..."

In modern times, thermos bottles are common household items. Although with the development of science and technology and economy, many people do not use thermos bottles, but use water dispensers that can boil water at any time.

But in the 90s, thermos bottles were a must-have item for every household. After the end of the world, almost all human civilizations stopped functioning. Pei Shaorong was naturally prepared to have something as convenient as a thermos bottle that doesn't need to be plugged in.

Hot water bottles are not the focus of material preparations, but because of the convenience of space, Pei Shaorong still prepared a dozen for spare at any time.

There are not many of these things, but my family can’t use them all up. It’s not that Pei Shaorong didn’t think about selling such “magic” things before, but for the people in the town and the village, the hot water bottle is just a necessity. dispensable things.

Selling Pei Shaorong cheap and cheap was not worth it. When he decided to go to Yueyang City this time, he thought of the people in the caravan.

These merchants are not short of money, they are generous, and for them, a hot water bottle is definitely a very good necessity, selling things to them is definitely a good deal.

Sure enough, when Zheng San and the others heard the function of the thermos, their eyes lit up immediately, "Brother Pei, where did you buy this thermos? How much is it?"

With a hot water bottle, everyone can drink hot water at any time on the road in winter, without having to stop and boil water to delay time, which greatly saves the itinerary of winter caravans.

Time is money, this sentence is perfect for those who are in business!

"I bought this hot water bottle from overseas people when I was traveling. I only have a few. If Brother Zheng wants it, I can sell it to you for five taels of silver. From now on, my husband and I will be in Yueyang Town I have settled down here, so the hot water bottle is useless, I also want to take this thing to Yueyang City and sell it this time..."

Pei Shaorong didn't think there was anything wrong with selling a hot water bottle worth tens of dollars for five taels of silver.

As the saying goes, scarcity is the most expensive thing, and traders like Zheng San also do this kind of reselling business from south to north. His hot water bottle can be said to be a unique item in this world. Five taels is already very cheap, and Zheng San can definitely afford the price .

"This..." Zheng San hesitated for a while. It's not like they can't afford five taels of silver, but the price seems a bit expensive. "Brother Pei, can you give me less..."

"Brother Zheng, this price is already a good deal. These thermos bottles were brought here by those overseas people who risked their lives in big boats through the waves. They are expensive. I also spent a lot of money when I bought them. If it weren't for me and the overseas If someone has a life-threatening friendship, they will not sell it to me, saying that they want to take it to the capital to pay tribute..."

"Okay, this thing is really amazing, Brother Pei has several thermos bottles like this, I want them all!"

Zheng San hesitated for a moment, then nodded readily, without doubting Pei Shaorong's words at all, not to mention the plastic material on the outside of the hot water bottle, which made people secretly surprised.

Pei Shaorong being able to know the existence of overseas is enough to make him believe that Pei Shaorong has traveled all over the world, otherwise most of the civilians living inland have never heard of the sea.

Even their caravan only heard a little news about the sea, and didn't understand it at all, let alone get the goods from overseas.

Zheng San has already started to make friends with Pei Shaorong in his heart, and such well-informed people who have traveled the world are definitely good friends for the caravan.

In the ancient times when communication was backward, all the information outside was transmitted through oral narratives of people walking outside. For merchants walking outside, any bit of information from various places is very important!

A hot water bottle cost five taels of silver, Pei Shaorong only sold five, and earned 25 taels of silver before arriving in Yueyang City, the two of them became acquainted with the people in the caravan...
