"Let's go!" Uncle Wang patted Chen Mo's shoulder and smiled, "It's just a city. If you see the city wall made of bricks and stones in the county city, wouldn't you be scared to death?"

"Is it different?" Chen Mo didn't quite understand the meaning of the brick and stone city wall. In his world view, the city wall of Xiaqiu County is already the most magnificent building in the world.

"Of course it's different. I heard that the city wall of the county is five meters tall, twice that of here." Uncle Cai said calmly on the side.

"I haven't seen Uncle Cai before?" Chen Mo keenly captured the keywords in his words. Compared to the vicious Uncle Wang, he was more willing to talk to Uncle Cai.

Uncle Cai turned dark and slapped Chen Mo with an impatient look on his face: "Go quickly and go quickly. If you want to go back before sunset, you have to leave in the afternoon."

"Oh~" Chen Mo was slapped and didn't dare to ask again, so he could only walk in depressedly.

In this year, for most people, the farthest place they have been to in their lives may be the local county town.

At the gate of the city, I handed over the guards to the city and entered the city.

"What is that?" Chen Mo looked at Li Zheng with some curiosity. He had also come to the county town back then, but he didn't remember anyone asking him for this.

"It seems that there are many levels. People like us want to go to other cities. When they enter the city, there is no such person who will not allow them to enter. If you want to go to other cities, you will get to the county town to handle it. It is useless to drive the house. Anyway, it is very troublesome." Uncle Cai explained while driving a donkey cart.

Chen Mo nodded, but saw two Wuzhu coins secretly stuffing into the gate guard inside. He looked at Uncle Cai in confusion. He didn't stuff this when the others entered the city.

"Don't look at it randomly, and don't ask randomly." Uncle Cai glared at him without waiting for him to speak, "You will understand in the future."

"Oh~" Chen Mo nodded obediently, no longer asked, and drove the donkey cart into the city with everyone. The soldiers guarding the city gate did not search for the donkey cart like others. This is probably the effect of the two Wuzhu coins, right?

"Ergou~" After entering the city, Chen Mo was calling in.

"What are the instructions of Ahon?" Chen Mo hurried over.

"You want to sell grain, which is different from where we go. It's here. It's Si Shishi (between 9:00 and 11:00). We gathered here in Shenshichu. The corn should be about 200 coins per stone. However, this year, the food prices should rise or may be sold to higher. However, although the prices given by grain merchants in the market are low, it is safe there. It is best to go to the market to sell. The embroidery price in Jinxiufang is quite good. Your mother has good skills. If you sell it yourself, these will cost about 500 coins." Li was looking at Chen Mo.

"So expensive?" Chen Mo said in surprise.

He remembered that his mother's embroidery was only given at most about a hundred yuan every year.

Li Zheng nodded without saying much. In fact, Chen’s mother usually sells it correctly. When they go to their place to collect it, it’s the price.

"Go, remember Shin Shichu meets us here." Li Zheng waved.

"Oh." Chen Mo nodded, carried the food bag on his back, and left with great worries.

"Is it too much for him to go like this, just a child..." Uncle Wang looked at Chen Mo's small back and said worriedly.

"Although I'm still young, I'm the only man in the Chen family now. He has to experience some things by himself." Li Zheng shook his head and said, "You go and look at him, and the others follow me."

...

Chen Mo walked on the street with some worries. In previous years, people from the county towns came to each township to purchase various supplies, such as grain, embroidery, etc. There was no comparison, so he naturally didn't know the price, but now he suddenly realized that the value of these things was far higher than the price given by the consignees every year, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The price of grain is not much different, but the price of embroidery for my mother is much different. I feel indescribable when I think of my mother dragging her weak body around the window every day to embroider one piece in a month, and in the end I will be exploited by those people.

After asking along the way, Chen Mo wanted to find a place to collect grain.

"Children, if you want to sell grain, why not send it to the inn directly? It doesn't cost much to sell it to the grain market." An old man saw Chen Mo's appearance and was polite, so he called him over and said with a smile.

"Is it much different?" Chen Mo said in surprise.

"There were not much difference before, but this year, the food shortage in various places has risen sharply. If they take out, a stone of corn will cost 400 yuan. But if they collect it, it will probably be the same as in previous years." The old man smiled.

If grain trading is not very profitable in normal years, it is just small profits but quick turnover. But if it encounters a famine, grain merchants can make a big profit.

"Thank you, Ah Weng." Chen Mo hurriedly thanked the old man, asked about the way to the inn again, and then walked towards the inn.

"Wait~" the old man waved to Chen Mo and said, "If you go like this, the inn will not pay attention to you. They usually collect dozens of stones or dozens of stones. People don't collect them separately."

"What should I do?" Chen Mo said curiously.

"I'm stupid, just say it was sent from the grain market." The old man smiled.

"Love?" Chen Mo frowned.

"How can it be called cheating? This is called adaptation! Otherwise, how can you sell the grain to them?" The old man knocked Chen Mo's head and smiled: "At that time, you will say it was introduced by Mr. Liu from Chengxi Street, and they will believe it."

"Oh." Chen Mo nodded as if he had understood it, and walked towards the inn with his grain bag on his back as the old man's instructions.

"Didn't the grain market say you want to deliver food today?" A quarter of an hour later, in the West Inn, the shopkeeper looked at Chen Mo and frowned.

"But Mr. Liu from the West Street said it was OK." Chen Mo was a little panicked, his eyes couldn't help but turn around. Thinking of what Mr. Liu said, "I hurriedly said."

"Oh..." The guy's voice was a little strange, he squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Mo and said, "It's that old man, okay, put down the food."

"Where is the money?" Chen Mo put down the food and looked at the mate. He always felt that the other party's expression was a bit weird, but he couldn't say anything weird.

"Money?" The guy wanted to laugh when he heard this, but someone slapped his head.

"Boss?" The guy instinctively lowered his head and said to the man who appeared behind him.

"Go and get the money quickly." The man looked quite upright, giving people a sense of reassurance. At this moment, he looked at Chen Mo and smiled: "Children, drink some water. This stone corn is not light. Where are your elders?"

"I'm selling goods there, I'll be..." Chen Mo said instinctively, but when he was halfway through, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Shouldn't he come from the grain market now? Shut up and don't say anything.

The man just smiled, letting Chen Mo relax a little bit of alert, touched Chen Mo's head and smiled: "It's okay, I've accepted it now. According to the market price, a stone of corn is now 380 yuan, but we can only give you 300 yuan. After all, we have to make money."

Chen Mo felt a little reluctant, but he also felt that what the other party said made sense. Moreover, the 300 yuan was much more than his expectations. He looked at the water bowl next to him and hesitated. He ran all the way, and was indeed thirsty, but he was embarrassed to drink it.

The man seemed to see Chen Mo's hesitation, stood up and turned to the back hall.

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help it. He reached out to pick up the water bowl and took a few sips.
