Chapter 147 No Money
When Nangong Yuan heard what could be exchanged, he became impatient.
Because Yanlang City was affected by the war, these things were not sold in the city, so Nangong Yuan took Han Yiyi to Qingliu City, which was adjacent to Yanlang City, overnight.
It was already morning when they arrived at Qingliu City. As soon as the city gate opened, Nangong Yuan led Han Yiyi into a jade shop and asked the shopkeeper to take out many jade pendants for Han Yiyi to choose from.
Han Yiyi didn't know the quality of the jade pendants, so she could only take them one by one and listen to the system give a quote.
The prosperity of Qingliu City cannot be compared with that of Kyoto, and naturally there are not as many good things as in Kyoto. Therefore, among the many jade pendants brought out by the store, none of the system bids exceeded 30,000 points. This is a huge difference from the jade pendant that Nangong Yuan had before.
What Han Yiyi didn't know was that the jade pendant that Nangong Yuan had before was a family heirloom of the Nangong family, which was to be passed down to the future daughter-in-law of the Nangong family. Naturally, its quality was extraordinary.
Since the quality is not good, we can only focus on quantity. Fortunately, the price offered by the store is not too expensive. The most expensive one is only more than 30 taels. Compared with the food it can be exchanged for, it is very cost-effective.
Since there weren't many jade pendants here, even if the shopkeeper took out all of them, they would only be worth more than twenty yuan. Han Yiyi roughly calculated that all added up, it would only be 500,000 points, which could be exchanged for 50,000 kilograms of grain.
There is still a huge difference. Besides, we can't let the soldiers eat porridge every day.
Two hundred thousand people, at the very least, one kilogram of rice per person per day, so two hundred thousand kilograms of rice would be needed per day. Thinking of this, Han Yiyi couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp. It seemed that the tens of thousands of kilograms of rice exchanged before could only allow them to eat slightly thicker porridge.
In fact, what Han Yiyi didn't know was that most of the rice she exchanged was given to the wounded. As for the others, most of them still ate rice soup. No, it was much thicker than before. Together with some wild vegetables and mushrooms dug by the soldiers in the kitchen team, they had a full meal.
Because the number of jade pendants was far from enough, the two of them picked out some jade bracelets and jade rings in the shop. If some of their points were not too few, it would be a waste of money to buy them. The two of them were afraid that they would have to empty out all the things in the jade shop.
In the end, the two of them picked everything they could and roughly calculated that they had about two million points, which was equivalent to two hundred thousand pieces of food.
The boss of the jade shop couldn't help but look nervous when he saw the two men's posture, so he secretly winked at the waiter beside him, asking him to block the door to prevent the two men from coming to rob.
After the two of them made their selection, they asked the owner of the jade shop to calculate the money. When the owner heard that he would be paid money, his eyes widened with smile. These were the amount he had accumulated for several years. If he could sell them all, he could retire directly, go back to his hometown, sell a few acres of land, and live a comfortable retirement life.
The boss was fiddling with the abacus while thinking happily in his heart. After a moment, he gave a number.
"My two gentlemen, the total amount I need is 525 taels. Since you bought more, I will give you some of the remaining 25 taels to make it an even number. You two just need to give me 500 taels..."
Five hundred taels, even if they sell it themselves, can only buy five thousand kilograms of grain, and can be exchanged for two hundred thousand kilograms using points. In comparison, five hundred taels is already very cheap.
The owner of the jade shop felt nervous when he saw that the two did not respond after he mentioned the price. He quickly pulled all the things into his arms and looked at the two with a vigilant look.
Seeing his boss's actions, Nangong Yuan couldn't help but glance at Han Yiyi.
Han Yiyi thought to himself, what are you looking at me for? Pay the money quickly...
Han Yiyi was still trying to figure out what Nangong Yuan's eyes meant when she heard him speak.
"I left in a hurry and didn't have any money on me. Please pay for me first. I will give you the money when I get back..."
Han Yiyi was stunned when she heard this. This guy had no money, yet he brought her here in a hurry to buy things. It turned out that he originally wanted her to pay for it. It was really...
But before she could say anything, she saw the owner of the jade shop winking at her out of the corner of her eye, as if to say, "Girl, please be more careful. Don't be deceived by this pretty face and lose your money..."
Seeing this, Han Yiyi couldn't help but laugh and thought to himself, this boss is quite a nice person.
However, these were all to save the lives of the soldiers, so Han Yiyi would naturally not give up. However, the moment he took out the silver from the space, his heart still ached a little.
Watching the two people leave, the owner of the Jade Shop couldn't help but shake his head secretly, thinking, it seems that there will be another injured woman in the world...
As soon as I walked out of the Jade House, I heard Nangong Yuan ask again with some embarrassment.
"I wonder if the girl has any extra silver on her..."
Han Yiyi: ...
However, thinking of the soldiers with broken limbs, he nodded and replied.
"Yes, there is also nearly one thousand taels of silver..." This is all her belongings.
As soon as Han Yiyi finished speaking, she was dragged to another jade shop.
There are only two jade shops in Qingliu City, but this one is obviously much smaller than the previous one. Even if you choose all the options, you will only get 800,000 points, which is less than half of the previous one.
Han Yiyi paid two hundred taels of silver, and sure enough, he received a kind look from the jade shop owner.
After leaving the jade shop, the two went to the porcelain shop. This time, Xiaohua offered a much higher price. A small blue and white porcelain vase was worth almost the same amount of points as Nangong Yuan's jade pendant.
So the two of them spent another 700 taels and bought a bunch of porcelain. Hmm! Fortunately, Nangong Yuan still had a conscience and knew to leave 100 taels for Han Yiyi.
In order not to arouse suspicion, the two asked the shop owner to send the porcelain out of the city first.
As soon as the two left, word spread throughout Qingliu City that a woman had been drugged and cheated out of all her wealth by a man...
After leaving the city, Han Yiyi exchanged all the things for flight points, a total of 15 million points, which is about 1.5 million kilograms of food. 200,000 kilograms a day, which is enough to eat for about seven or eight days.
If you can save a little, it can last for about ten days.
Listening to Han Yiyi's words, a smile finally appeared in Nangong Yuan's eyes.
On the way back, Nangong Yuan was obviously much more relaxed. He put his arm around the waist of the person in front of him, his eyes full of gratitude.
From yesterday until now, the two of them have hardly had any rest. Worried that Han Yiyi was too tired, they couldn't help but speak softly.
"It will take more than an hour to get there. If you feel sleepy, you can lean on me and rest for a while..."
