Volume 2, Chapter 53: Arrived
Mrs. Qian took Ling Yue into the drug store and came out after a while.
He came up to Shangguan Ruoli and smacked his tongue and said, "What a scam. A bottle of wind-cold pills costs five taels of silver, and a small pack of trauma medicine costs six taels of silver!"
Shangguan Ruoli whispered: "Mom, please keep your voice down!"
Mrs. Qian's voice immediately softened, but she still muttered: "It's too deceiving! The prices here are really too high!"
Shangguan Ruolixin said: It's not that prices are high, it's just that this pharmacy is a 'cooperative pharmacy'.
Boss Sun and others saw that the other teams had bought some medicine, but Dongming Ziyu and the others were so angry that they didn't like it.
They knew that Dongming Ziyu had 1,400 taels of silver in his hand, so he could forget about being disrespectful to them, but he turned out to be an iron rooster and didn't even buy medicine!
Boss Sun looked at them sideways, his eyes flashing.
After everyone had bought the medicine, everyone continued to set off. Not long after leaving Youcheng, it became dark.
Leader Sun led his team to stop in front of a big inn and said, "It's getting late. Let's all rest in this inn tonight."
Another cadre said: "A first-class room costs one tael per room, with food and hot water; a second-class room costs five hundred, but has no food or hot water, so you can buy it if you want it; a third-class room costs three hundred
, it is Datongpu, one house can accommodate thirty people, and there is no food or hot water.
There are so many of you, so you can't swarm in. Which room do you want to live in? Just give me the money and I will arrange it for you."
Give him the money?
The working people are simple, but not stupid. When I heard this, I felt relieved.
But if it falls into other people’s hands, there’s nothing we can do about it.
At that moment, those who were not short of money paid their money and went in.
Mrs. Qian also suddenly realized it and whispered: "No wonder everything is expensive here."
Some of the victims really had no money, so they cried and said: "Master, we don't have that much money!"
"That's right, how can we have money to stay in a hotel? Anjia won't have any money from now on!"
"Master, I have no money!"
"We slept in the open air on our way out. We just found a place to pile grain and spend the night there."
"Yes, yes. When we weren't escaping, we couldn't bear to spend the money to stay in a hotel."
Leader Sun had led the team countless times and knew the situation. He pointed to the wasteland in the distance and said, "If you don't want to stay in a hotel, go and wait there! You can't run around. I won't be responsible for anything that happens."
After saying that, he looked at Dongming Ziyu.
Of course Dongming Ziyu would like to live in a hotel, but for a family of over 200 people, living in a first-class room is too expensive, and living in a Datong store would also require seven or eight rooms. The main reason is that there is no food or hot water, which is really inconvenient.
He looked at Dong Chunlei, "Uncle, what do you think?"
Dong Chunlei also thought about it, "The other rooms don't provide hot water or food. There are so many of us. Is it possible that we will go hungry for two meals? Come on, let's go make a shack and eat as much as we want."
Although I have been hungry, why do I still go hungry when I can obviously have a nice and warm meal?
Everyone thought it was reasonable. Although we knew we had money, for a family of more than 200 people, the money might not be enough to buy houses and land after they settle down.
We are all accustomed to living a hard life, so we save money when we can. We have lived in the wild for almost three months. Do we still care about living in the wild for three or four more days?
So, everyone agreed, "Let's go set up a tent."
Boss Sun's expression darkened when several government officials took a look at it.
Sun Tou'er said: "If you want hot water to eat, you can buy it with money. Fine-grain steamed buns are five cents each, multi-grain pancakes are three cents each, and coarse-grain pancakes are three cents each. You can pay a hundred grand for hot water and porridge, and you can cook them yourself."
When Dongming Ziyu heard that there was dry food and it was cooked, he said to Dong Chunlei: "We haven't eaten dry food for a long time, why don't we stay here?"
The grain and mountain products that everyone exchanged in the mountain village have long been eaten. These days, they have relied on the wild animals in the mountains to satisfy their hunger. It has been a long time since they have eaten grain.
Anyway, now that I have money, I can eat a meal first.
But Dong Chunlei still couldn't bear the money for accommodation, so he said: "Then let's set up a tent outside and buy dry food here. Each person has a coarse grain pancake and a multigrain pancake."
Shangguan Ruoli: "..."
I don’t know how big the pancake is, it might not even be enough for a strong worker.
Dongming Ziyu also thought about it and said: "I don't know how big the pancakes are yet, and I don't know if I can eat them tomorrow. Let's buy two whole-grain pancakes per person, and two multi-grain pancakes. Evenly distributed for children and women, it will be enough for one day tomorrow.
of."
The yamen will definitely arrange accommodation tomorrow night, otherwise they will run out of gas and water after a hard trip.
Boss Sun calculated that there were more than 200 people, and four pancakes per person was a lot. His face looked better, and he went into the inn to make arrangements.
When we got the dry food, we found that the cakes were of moderate size and not too harsh, so everyone felt relieved.
At noon the next day, we arrived at a county town. The victims were not allowed to enter the county town, but there were wealthy households donating porridge and dry food along the official road outside the city.
This was an unexpected surprise, and most people happily lined up to receive porridge and dry food.
But there were also those who did not receive alms, and a few who owned livestock carts bought fine-grain steamed buns at the inn last night and ate them separately. Some even went to roadside stalls and bought roast chicken, eggs, and the like.
Ling Yue was a little greedy when she smelled the smell of roasted chicken. Although she had eaten a lot of meat along the way, it was all roasted and stewed. It had been a long time since she had eaten roasted chicken.
Wulang swallowed his saliva and whispered: "I'm not greedy. I've even eaten tiger meat."
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and touched Wu Lang's head, "Good boy, when you get to the place, mother will cook you roast chicken, roast duck, braised pig's trotters, and braised eggs."
When Wulang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his head in her palm, "Thank you, mother, Wulang also wants to eat osmanthus candy."
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Okay!"
Sanlang and Silang heard this and came over with bowls in their hands, "Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt, we want it too."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "Okay, we have them all."
The adults were thinking about what to do after settling in, while the children were thinking about delicious food, with a look of hope on their faces.
At night they still didn't stay at the inn, and so on, on the afternoon of the fourth day, they finally arrived in Liulin County.
Mr. Sun handed over the documents to the magistrate of Liulin County, counted the number of people, and went back with a few companions.
Everyone lined up and waited for placement.
Dongming Ziyu walked to the front and observed how the county magistrate distributed the money.
Scholars can be placed in the county town and rented houses at low prices. Tongsheng and others have to be assigned to various villages, some villages have three or five households, and some villages have more than ten households.
This shows that these two hundred or so people will be separated.
Others also learned the news from the person who had completed the settlement process. Everyone was frightened and asked Dongming Ziyu: "We can't separate a village, what should we do?"
Dongming Ziyu: "..."
Their family doesn't care. No matter where they are divided, as long as they take their parents with them, the family of six will still be clean.
