Chapter 66 County Supplies
Chapter 66 County Supply
Leader Qin nodded and said, "My subordinates think so too. You didn't tell me before, so I don't dare to make decisions privately."
"It doesn't matter." Su Yue said and raised her hands. Leader Qin quickly opened the lock for her, followed by Murong Li and several other boys.
"You should hurry up and replenish some supplies. If you don't have enough money, just come to me and get it." Su Yue said this and led the people into the city.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city must have been greeted by Qin's leader. He did not question them and let them into the city.
It is now past Chen hour, and there are not many people in the city yet. The shops are all open, and occasionally you can hear some shouting.
Su Yong and her entourage first went to a steamed bun shop, rounded the existing steamed buns in the shop, and then asked a servant to take the steamed buns out of the city so that the Su family could eat them first.
Then we found a larger inn and asked a young man to go out of the city to take the Su family into the city.
Then we came to the place where the horses were sold.
"How many horses do Yue'er want to buy?"
Su Yue took a look at the horse market. There were not many people selling horses in the horse market, and the horses were not very strong. There were more old, weak, sick and disabled people.
She thought for a while and said: "There are twenty or thirty people in our Su family. Including the carriages for loading things, we need to buy at least five horses. How many are you going to buy?"
Murong Li said: "I only need to buy one horse. Once I have a carriage, I don't have to accompany my grandmother."
"Do they have money to buy a carriage?"
Murong Li whispered: "They should still have the money to buy the carriage. Grandma has already made preparations."
Murong Li admired Mrs. Yun very much. She had long expected that such a day would come to the Yun family and had made preparations early. When the emperor confiscated only part of her house, the rest was exchanged for silver notes.
After being exiled, Mrs. Yun only had some banknotes left with her.
Those banknotes are enough to support their Yun family, so there is no need to worry.
"Mrs. Yun is a wise person." Su Yue couldn't help but admired.
Murong Li agreed: "She is indeed very wise. Let's not talk about them. Look at the horses we bought. These horses don't look good."
Su Yue also whispered: "It doesn't matter, I have a way to make them healthy and strong."
Murong Li knew what she meant as soon as he heard it, so he followed her to a horse seller without saying a word.
The horse was a little lame. The seller sat on a stone bench next to him. Few people came to ask, so he smoked a dry cigarette with helplessness on his face.
Seeing Su Yue and the others approaching, he put down the cigarette in his hand, stood up, and asked with a hurried smile: "Are you two guests going to buy a horse?"
Su Yue: "Let's take a look first."
"Okay, okay, just look at it. My horse is just a little lame in its left foot. It's a disability acquired when the horse was young. There's nothing else wrong with it. It won't affect anything when it pulls..."
When the seller saw that the two of them were not leaving, he kept talking.
A lame horse is so proud that it is the only good horse in the world.
Su Yue glanced at him. He worked hard to sell it. She pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, stop bragging. I will brag to the sky later. How much money will your horse sell for?"
The seller smiled awkwardly: "I don't want to cheat the customer, just fifteen taels of silver. If it's more, the customer won't buy it."
"You are sincere." Su Yue refused to bargain with him. The clothes the seller wore were very old and turned white after washing, but they were still neat.
She took out a fifteen-tael silver note and gave it to the seller, and gave the horse to the boy who followed behind.
After that, Su Yue bought five more horses, one of which was a foal and two mature horses, both of which were very thin.
One is an old horse. He is fed with spiritual spring water and will soon be able to be used as a mature horse. Buying it seems cheap.
The other horse looked like a war horse, its left eye was slightly injured, but everything else was fine.
Murong Li directly chose a young horse.
Then a group of people came to the place where the carriage was taken.
The carriages are all ready-made, and all seven horses are equipped with carriages.
After finishing the preparation, Su Yue started to buy things.
Of course the first one to go was the grain store. This county is not very big and there are four or five grain stores. Su Yue went to two of them and bought all their stocks directly.
The two families met a big customer and sold it to Su Yue without hesitation.
Let Xi Qin lead the others.
After that, there are pots, basins, bowls, all kinds of knives that can be bought, and all kinds of cooking seasonings. Of course, I bought more salt.
The restrictions on buying salt in this county are not that strong. Su Yue bought ten kilograms of salt at one time and then bought more when she met someone in the next city or town.
Then there are ready-made clothes and fabrics, which are suitable for them to wear now. The space is full of silk and satin.
Su Yue bought a lot, buying everything she should and shouldn't buy.
Then let the boys take the things to the inn, and send the ready-made clothes to the Su family for change first.
After that, it was Murong Li's, and he also bought a lot of things.
When the two of them returned to the inn, it was already noon. Su Yue took advantage of the fact that the others had not seen the specific items, so she kept most of them in the space, leaving not much outside.
After everyone took a comfortable bath in the inn, Su Yong took the Su family to a large restaurant and directly booked a floor of the restaurant.
When the Yun family saw the Su family, they also followed Su Yong's example, first finding an inn, and then a big restaurant to eat.
For the remaining families, those who have money will stay in inns, those who have money will go to restaurants to eat, and those who have no money will eat whatever they want in the inns.
Su Yue didn't know whether the family of Doctor Xie had any money, so she asked a servant to bring them a banknote. Doctor Xie didn't accept it, so she ignored it.
As for Qin's leader and the others, Su Yue directly sent them a thousand taels of silver notes, which made the officers smile from ear to ear.
There were a total of forty guardsmen. When we were at Hutou Ridge, some of them died, some were disabled, and there were still thirty who were good with their hands and feet.
They also found an inn, and after shopping a lot, they went to eat.
Su Yong ordered five large tables of delicious dishes at the restaurant. Everyone ate meat along the way, and their stomachs could not bear the large meals they ordered.
There is no distinction between master and servant, everyone sits together and eats together.
When everyone saw the large tables full of good wine and food, they couldn't help but eat to their heart's content.
All of them devoured their food voraciously, just to keep their stomachs full, without looking like nobles from aristocratic families.
Su Yue also ate with gusto, whether it was delicious or not, she ate it the same way.
The whole meal cost fifty or sixty taels of silver, and everyone was so satisfied that the old Marquis and his son even poured a jug of wine.
This is the happiest meal I've had since my exile.
After dinner, everyone went to visit the county town in the afternoon, and everyone had something to buy.
Especially women.
They were accompanied when they went out, and Su Yue also went shopping. In the morning, she bought things for everyone. In the afternoon, she also went to see if there was anything suitable for her.
Murong Li, Caixia, and Su Yan were the three followers who wanted to go with her no matter what, but Su Yue couldn't do anything to them, so she went together.
