Pretty Chef Is Gonna Be Rich - Chapter 929

Bai Yutang’s words really brought face. Not only the sisters in law wearing the new hairpin were smiling, but also the smile on the old man’s face became more brilliant: “I’m so sorry for your child…”

As he said this, the old man told his daughters-in-law to buy meat, cook and entertain them.

At this time, a man in a sedan chair outside stopped outside the door. When he came out of the sedan chair, he saw the white jade hall. First, he respectfully made a salute outside the door: “excuse me, but Li Yu and his wife?”

Zheng Yu’s current name is Li Yu, but he is not used to changing his name. After a moment of stupefaction, he responds: “it’s me and others. What can I do for you?”

The housekeeper outside looked carefully at the farmyard. After thinking about it, he was still a little disgusted, so he didn’t come in. He said outside: “I’m the housekeeper of the chief soldier ‘ 。”

Zheng Yu and Bai Yutang both knew that this was a secret investigation of the two of them, but they didn’t say anything about it. They said with a smile: “in that case, I’d like to thank the housekeeper for this trip. We don’t have anything important to do. It’s OK to wait a few more days.”

It’s better to wait until all the undercurrents in the capital have subsided, so that they don’t have to cause any doubt for a lifetime.

Naturally, the two of them will not say the following words.

“In that case, I’ll leave first.”

Seeing the housekeeper leave, the old man looked at Bai Yutang, and their eyes changed. Only after they left, did the old man try to ask, “do you have any friendship with the people in the general mansion?”

As soon as Bai Yutang saw the old man’s look, he knew what he was thinking. He was afraid that he would not be well treated and offend anyone he shouldn’t offend.

But they are now poor civilians, where they need to be so cautious.

Bai Yutang showed a soft smile and comforted him: “don’t think too much, sir. We don’t have much friendship with the people in the general headquarters. It’s just that we knew a person who was an official in the capital before. That adult just knew the general headquarters here and asked us to do something. We just ran errands.”

two people roughly talked about the registered residence matters, which only put the old man’s doubts in mind.

Living in a farmhouse is not as comfortable as living in a high-rise courtyard, but it has a different flavor.

At first, both Zheng Yu and Bai Yutang complained incessantly. Later, when they got used to it, even though they were wearing coarse linen, they didn’t feel that their coarse clothes were rubbing their skin.

Knowing that Bai Yutang’s skin is delicate, Zheng Yu bought a silk inner garment. Bai Yutang just put it on, but she felt very unaccustomed to it. She wore the soft and slippery material on her body as if her clothes were not dry.

Later, the collar of the linen jacket turned red, and Bai Yutang wore back the silk lining.

On this day, the old man wanted to buy salt in the city. Bai Yutang had nothing to do, so he went with him.

This time, of course, it wasn’t the headquarters. Bai Yutang followed him to the vegetable market.

In the downtown, there are all kinds of shouting. Those who grow their own vegetables and sell them are on the roadside. Those who sell chicken, duck and fish are surrounded by a group of people in front of the stalls, chirping and shouting.

Grain and oil shops, which sell firewood, rice, oil and salt, also come and go in an endless stream.

Just looking at the people coming in and out of the grain and oil shop, it seems that they didn’t buy anything.

Bai Yutang was a little strange. He couldn’t help asking, “do these people go in and don’t buy them?”

Just after asking, I saw a skinny old woman carrying a vegetable basket coming out from the inside. As she walked, she kept swearing: “what is it! Is this salt more expensive than gold? ”

Then there are all kinds of curses against the boss of the grain and oil shop.

Bai Yutang frowned when she heard that. She had been in contact with the restaurant business. She used to be a good cook. She was already familiar with the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Hearing that the old lady scolded so much, she thought about it and asked the old man who came to buy salt: “is your salt very expensive?”

Generally speaking, in the feudal ancient times when the oil extraction technology was not very developed, those vegetable oils were more expensive, and salt should be less expensive.

How can we see that the price of salt is more expensive than that of vegetable oil?

While they were chatting, they went into the grain and oil shop. The old man said with a bitter smile, “the price of salt in the past was really not very high, because there were many illegal salt dealers. Some days ago, all the illegal salt dealers were killed, so the price of salt Isn’t it going up all of a sudden? If you can… ”

The old man sighed heavily, but he was a bit rebellious when he said that. He swallowed his words back and only had a sad face.

Bai Yutang understood.

After asking about the price of salt, Bai Yutang was stunned!This double salt is worth more than the same weight of silver! This is more than a few hundred times higher than before!

It’s worse than stealing money.

Bai Yutang had a rich family before weaving, and now he is not short of money. But he was surprised to hear the price, not to mention the old man.

Their family’s situation has gradually improved in recent years. In fact, they don’t have much savings. One or two salt is worth more than one or two silver, which is a heavy burden for them.

The most irritating thing is that you have to buy the salt, because if you don’t eat salt for a long time, you will feel weak.

“We don’t want to sell it at this price either. It’s just that the official way of trade is occupied by the foreign clans of wuliangha, and the salt of those businessmen can’t be transported in. We don’t know when our generals will lead their troops to the road of trade, so this Naturally, the price will go up a little bit. ”

The shopkeeper was dressed in a blue gauze, with a moustache. His round face was warm, but his narrow eyes flashed the businessman’s unique smart light from time to time.

After hearing this, Bai Yutang felt that something was wrong. Li Ming had given them a map before. She was familiar with the fortresses near Xuanfu. Officers and soldiers were always on guard and patrolling along the way of Commerce to keep them safe. Moreover, the merchants would give the army some advantages.

There are duties on the surface and benefits in private. In principle, it is absolutely impossible for those soldiers to ignore them.

But listen to the boss’s tone, it seems that these generals and soldiers really don’t care about this matter.
