I pretend to be a fairy in ancient times
Chapter 3
After the grandparents and grandchildren returned to the hotel together, Zhao Ji struttingly walked to the only Eight Immortals table in the lobby, greeted Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia to sit down, and finally said proudly, "Man, serve a pot of hot tea."
Yesterday Zhao Ji also went out with high spirits, but he came back disheartened, and he didn't want to eat the lunch left by Mrs. Xiao.
During the dispute, it happened to be seen by a man who was fetching water in the backyard. The man was actually the son of the owner of the hotel.
If he just watched the excitement, Zhao Ji wouldn't hold grudges. What's even more annoying is that this guy muttered dirty, "This kid is so lucky to be alive."
"If you live, you have to die. The rent will be full in two days."
The guy's voice was not too loud, as if he was deliberately speaking to Zhao Ji and the others. At that time, Zhao Ji wanted to have a fit, but Mrs. Xiao pushed open the door of the leaky room and dragged Zhao Ji into the room to hide.
It can be seen that Zhao Ji's physical fitness is really not good, even Mrs. Xiao can't beat it.Seeing the two backing down, the buddy got even worse. "The woman is pretty, and she can find a next family. The old and the young will all die."
The waiter didn't leave until the guests upstairs asked for water.
That night, Zhao Ji only drank the porridge left at noon, and persuaded Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia to share the dinner that was originally planned for him, and made up her mind that no matter what scientific values, they must make money to eat.
He is a man with golden fingers, how could he be starved to death.
Sure enough, Zhao Ji earned a whole two taels of silver today.
What is the concept of two taels of silver? According to Zhao Ji's understanding, it is equivalent to the purchasing power of 5000 yuan in modern times.
This dynasty with the country name Jin is different from the precarious Jin Dynasty that Zhao Ji understands.
The great Jin country is peaceful and the people are peaceful. Although there are also threats from the northern and southern borders, the army of the Jin Dynasty is not weak, and it has always had the upper hand in international frictions.
Domestic commerce and trade are developed, and the products are extremely rich. People eat three meals a day, and everything is fried, fried, and fried. The economic level seems to be similar to that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Therefore, when the value of silver is not the most expensive, one tael of silver can only be exchanged for [-] big coins, but one big coin can be exchanged for three small coins.
The current price of rice is a big coin per catty. Converted according to the rice price, two taels of silver can buy 5000 catties of polished rice, which is about the same as [-] yuan.
Not all prices can be applied according to the price of rice. For example, in ancient times, the industry was underdeveloped, so the price of daily necessities including clothes was relatively expensive, and there were medical expenses. There were many more examples of poverty caused by illness in ancient times than in modern times.
However, the labor cost in ancient times was very cheap, and the house price was prohibitively cheap for modern people. In such a small county town, you can buy a house in the city for five taels of silver.
Since the house price is not high, the room rate of the hotel is also not high. Like Zhao Ji and the others live in a low-class room with air leakage, they can cook for themselves, and only need a lot of money per day.Because Zhao Ji was ill, Mrs. Xia paid half a month's rent in one go, and only needed twelve big bucks.
He felt that two liang of silver was enough for them to go to the capital.When Zhao Ji showed the three broken pieces of silver and more than [-] large coins to Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xiao almost cried.
The old lady Xia didn't ask Zhao Ji how he made the money, she quickly covered the money bag tightly, and anxiously urged, "Hurry up and put it away."
The money bag was given to Zhao Ji by Mrs. Xia, and there were three big coins in it, which she said were for Zhao Ji to use for emergencies, but he hadn't used them for the past two days.
Zhao Ji put away the money bag as he said, and said in a low voice, "There are too many people in the hotel, and the doors and windows are not tight. If you stay today for the last night, you will not be charged for the remaining two days. We will continue on our way tomorrow morning. "
Mrs. Xiao cared about her son's health and said, "Your illness is just right, why don't you find a better hotel and recuperate for a few days."
A word to awaken the dreamer.
Mrs. Xiao's words reminded Zhao Ji that he hadn't eaten recently and was very hungry. He was only thinking about eating all day long, but he forgot that Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia were still laying the floor.
They are a bankrupt family. They say they are making a floor, but they just spread a layer of hay on the ground and sleep with a piece of clothing. Fortunately, it is summer, otherwise the family would have been very difficult to survive.
Because of the journey along the way, the pawned clothes are soft all the way, and the thick winter clothes have long been sold out.
Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia are also people who wear silk and satin, and now they are wearing old burlap dresses, leaving only two good clothes for Zhao Ji, and they are not willing to sell them.
Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation cost money for everything. When Zhao Ji thought of this, he knew that for the poor and the poor, these two taels of silver were not enough at all.
Another point is that even if they arrived in the capital, they couldn't place all their hopes on Mrs. Xia's nephew.
After the initial excitement, Zhao Ji actually thought a lot, but with two taels of silver as a base, at least the immediate predicament was solved.
He is a man with golden fingers, understands the common sense of modern medicine, and can perform surgical operations. It is not a problem to become a famous doctor in this ancient time. He feels that he can no longer play tricks and deceive people in the future.
After figuring it out, Zhao Ji immediately said to Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia, "Grandma, mother. Let's move out today and find a big hotel for one night. Let's take a good bath and head on our way in a refreshing way tomorrow morning." .”
Hearing about taking a bath, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia were a little moved.
They have completely become poor, just in the past two months.Li Su'er hooked up with Qu Xiong at this year's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, Zhao's father died in prison only last month, and the family used money to buy Zhao's body for burial, so the Zhao family was completely ruined.
Especially in the past ten days, without taking a bath, without washing their hair, the dirty lady Xiao and the others are unwilling to think about it.
This small broken hotel is indeed not a place where women can rest assured to take a bath, so Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia quickly agreed to Zhao Ji's proposal.
After deciding on the direction of the future, the impact of money gradually subsided, and the smell of meat buns caught the souls of Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia.
Zhao Ji heard that Mrs. Xiao and the others were already bulging, so she didn't point it out, and said with a smile on her face, "I brought meat buns back. Let's go back to the hotel and order a cup of hot tea and eat buns."
Zhao Ji didn't intentionally humiliate the hotel clerk either, but just bought a small amount of minced tea from him, opened the paper bag containing the meat buns, each brought a bun, and ate it with relish in front of the clerk.
Smelling the smell of meat, the buddy stared straight at him and swallowed with greed. In fact, this was already a very powerful revenge.
Meat was expensive in ancient times, and a meat bun cost two big bucks, which was equivalent to Zhao Ji’s rent for two days. The hotel owner was also a small business, so how could he buy buns for his son for no reason.
The man just mocked Zhao Ji yesterday that he was going to starve to death, and Zhao Ji ate meat buns in front of him today, isn't that a successful slap in the face?
Although this meat bun is not cheap, it is full of weight, as big as a grown man's fist.Zhao Ji just ate one on the street, and only then did he have the strength to run back.
For a long time, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xia didn't care about their image. They chewed and swallowed. Zhao Ji had the bun as a base, and the meat bun without flavor powder and MSG was not too much for him. tasty.
After all, Zhao Ji had just traveled for less than ten days, unlike Mrs. Xiao and the others, who seldom ate meat since Mrs. Zhao had an accident.
Mrs. Xiao was younger, so she finished eating earlier than Mrs. Xia. After sighing, she drank half a bowl of tea and didn't plan to eat any more.The same is true for Mrs. Xia, Zhao Ji finished eating at the end, and there were two meat buns left, so he started to rewrap the paper buns, but Mrs. Xiao took Zhao Ji's hand and persuaded, "You are a young man, it is When you grow your body, eat two more."
Those eyes were full of love for his son, and Zhao Ji was a little moved. Even though he knew that Mrs. Xiao's love was for his dead son, he is the one who is alive now, isn't he?
Zhao Ji's parents died unexpectedly when he was very young. He has been growing up with his uncle and aunt. Although his uncle and aunt did not treat him harshly, they both have jobs. One is in the Education Bureau and the other is in the Health Bureau. They are very busy every day Even their biological daughter, Zhao Qing, seldom sees her parents.
Speaking of which, the two siblings grew up with each other. Although they often quarrel and occasionally fight, their relationship is really good.
No matter how good the relationship between siblings is, Zhao Ji still longs for the love of his parents in his heart. Father's love is impossible now, but this fiery mother's love is in front of him, and Zhao Ji is really reluctant to let go.
If you don't want it, don't let it go.
Maternal love is one thing, but the steamed stuffed bun really can't be eaten anymore.
Originally, Zhao Ji planned to have two steamed buns for one person, but the steamed stuffed buns were big, and he could tell that although Mrs. Xiao and the others were giving in, they were still half full.People who have been hungry for a long time should not eat too much, let alone something that is oily and meaty, eating too much will easily cause diarrhea.
Zhao Ji still wrapped the paper, "I ate a bun in the street just now, and I can't eat it now, so let's save these two for dinner."
With his firm tone and quick movements, Mrs. Xiao couldn't hold him back at all.
In fact, since Zhao Ji said the day before yesterday that he was going out to find a way out, Mrs. Xia noticed the changes in her grandson. She attributed all of this to the fact that Zhao Ji had the courage and responsibility to go through hardships, and her little grandson had grown up.
Miss Xiao also had the same feeling today, Zhao Ji was born good-looking and likable.She just felt that her son was like the rising sun now, and he was more likable.
