How poor is this? In Beiyang Town, when winter comes, every household has to change people to go out, because almost every household only has one set of cotton-padded clothes, and only whoever needs to go out can wear them.
As for the shopkeeper in front of me, I don't know whether he is lucky or miserable.
The inn looks new and looks quite nice, but after the chaos broke out, the county magistrate demolished the previous 'inn' and rebuilt it.
The shopkeeper is the owner of the former inn, and the previous inn was his family's ancestral home. It sounds nice to call it an inn, but it has something to do with the county magistrate, so he can use his ancestral home for the out-of-towners who occasionally come to Beiyang Town.
Take a break and earn ten or eight pennies.
Although his daily income is now more than before, the problem is that he cannot touch that money.
Almost all the staff in the inn are his family members. The waiter is his nephew, the two cooks in the kitchen are his wife and his wife, and the ones responsible for cleaning are his two daughters. The whole family has an income.
The problem is that the room fees collected must be reported to the county magistrate clearly and clearly. The food and drink provided to the guests by the inn are also brought by the county magistrate.
The shopkeeper has long been downgraded from a boss to a wage earner, earning a monthly salary of one tael of silver.
Because of this, the shopkeeper is not as interested in the situation of the people who move in as the waiter. He is curious, but if he has any ideas, he really has no idea.
Lao Qi's family is now crowded into the room where Qi Bao'er is.
What's funny is that Piaozai, because he is the same kind, he was so scared that he retracted into the prayer beads, and he was willing to come out even if he was beaten to death.
There is no way, people have the rules of the human world, and souls also have the rules of the soul world. Just like they are foreigners when they come to Beiyang Town, Piaozi is also a foreigner when he comes to Beiyang Town.
Moreover, the rules of the soul world are stricter than those of the earth world, and strength is respected. If you are a weak foreign soul, you will be torn apart by the local souls in minutes.
Unless someone like Piaozai seems to have an owner, the soul is not stupid, and he will not offend a person who can control the soul for a weak soul, and it may even be someone from the mysterious world.
Who would have thought that in this newly built inn less than half a month old, there would be several Piaos living in it, all of them better than Piaozi.
The naughty soul of Piaozai was so frightened that the shaking soul lost its human form.
Don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with the people who built the inn later. Those are the ancestors of the innkeeper.
Well, Lao Qi's family is having a gathering right now, and there is an uninvited guest sitting on the window sill, still making noises.
Old man Qi said: "Obviously, the county magistrate here is making money from us, the passing refugees."
The old lady floated back: 'But no, that county magistrate is nothing. My Fanzi trusted him so much that he even expropriated the house without compensating a penny.'
Old man Qi added: "We have basically confirmed that our family and the old man's family are rich families. If they are just trying to make some money, they won't do anything to us. After all, we have a lot of people."
Old man Qi pointed at the knife on Qi Kangan's waist and said with a stern face, "They are not easy to bully.
However, don't go too far. Just do what you should do normally, and don't be afraid that they will do it.
There is also the matter of banknotes. I was told on the way to Beiyang Town that I would exchange them if I could. Tomorrow Anzi will go out to explore. I guess there won’t be a bank here. Even if there is, we can’t exchange it at a bank. Can we exchange it at a bank?
The bank is still open at this time, and it must have something to do with the county magistrate. Once we cash in on the guarantee, we will definitely keep a close eye on him. If he doesn't get it right, something big will happen."
The old lady came back again: 'My enemy, don't show off your wealth. Go to Old Man Yang to exchange for it. He has money and is loyal, and he won't show off.'
Qi Kang'an was in a dilemma, "Dad, this banknote may not be easy to change. We are new faces. We will be stared at when we enter the town. There will be people watching wherever we go."
Qi Kangfu also said: "Dad, if we don't cash it out, your pocket will become more and more troublesome."
Old man Qi glared at the two brothers angrily.
"We don't have any loose money now. Do we need to prepare some other things? It's best to get a new carriage. Even if these are not used, we still need accommodation. Is it possible that the old lady Quan's family can help with the mattress?"
Instead of directly taking out five hundred taels of silver to pay the room fee, it is better to find a place to exchange it outside.
Qi Bao'er raised his paws: "Dad, my eldest brother and I will come tomorrow to exchange the money. You and Uncle Dayou still have to look for food."
Old man Qi asked: "Did Piaozi find out?"
Qi Baoer replied calmly: "Yeah."
Suddenly both of them heard several heavy breathing sounds. Looking at their family members, the men were all fine, but the faces of Mrs. Tian and Ye Sanni suddenly turned pale.
Whether it hurts people or not is another matter, but as long as Piao Dong exists, people will instinctively feel fear.
Qi Kangan's eyes flickered, and he naturally took over what his daughter had just said: "Okay, then dad will have people search in the town and nearby villages tomorrow. We will take whatever food there is."
It was already getting late, and the matter could not be solved instantly. Old man Qi waved his hand and told everyone to go and rest.
It was scary, but with Piao Zai around, the Lao Qi family could finally relax and have a good sleep.
It was said that they could stay in this town for ten days, but no one in the Lao Qi family was prepared to really stay here for ten days.
How long will Beiyang Town be safe?
There are only two rooms in the upper room. In one room, the old man's family lives, and his family has relatively rich pockets. In the other room, the women of Lao Qi's family live together, and the men and children live in a standard room on the second floor.
, it’s just a whole family crammed into one room.
There is no way, it has nothing to do with money. There are many people in Qijia Village, people like Tian Dazui who have empty pockets or save money, the Datong Shop on the first floor is so crowded that there is no room to step in.
The rooms upstairs are pretty much the same.
The bed in the standard room could only accommodate one person, so Qi Kangan and the others pushed the two beds together into a corner so that the three old people could sleep together, and they fell down directly on the floor.
Four good people, six good people, and four children with foreign surnames. In the originally small room, excluding the two beds, a total of fourteen people fell to the ground. The tall ones couldn't even straighten their feet, so they had to press their legs.
On top of him, his feet are on your legs.
Fortunately, the inn was quite kind, with unlimited hot water supply. Everyone had a comfortable hot bath, especially the men, who rubbed their feet until barely a layer of skin was removed.
Otherwise, everyone would not sleep due to the smell.
Qi Bao'er's room is much bigger, twice the size of every room on the second floor, but there is only one bed. Ye Sanni lets Mrs. Tian and Qi Bao'er sleep on the bed, while the others make beds and quilts on the floor.
sleep.
Mrs. Tian took a look at the big bed, which was two meters wide and called out, "This bed is not small. My mother-in-law and my little sister should also sleep on the bed. We can sleep sideways. In fact, even the big guys can fit in it."
"
Ye Sanni disagreed. She said, "Mom, it's so crowded that it's hard to turn over. It would be more comfortable for us to sleep on a layer on the floor."
Li Qin also agreed with this point: "I also think my sister-in-law is right. I'm big. If I squeeze onto the bed, I can crush you all when I turn over."
Qian Lanhua pursed her lips and smiled, hugging the quilt and spreading it on the floor, telling Mrs. Tian through her actions that she would rather sleep on the floor.
There is a big difference between a room that costs three taels of silver a night and a standard room that costs six hundred coins a night.
It's just that the money is so poor that it makes people's hearts beat.
