Chapter 86 News
"Sell vegetables?" Xu Changsheng pondered for a moment, "I did meet two people who sell vegetables. If it were not for they selling potted vegetables in such a season, I would not remember so clearly."
Hearing his words, Liu Cuihua's eyes lit up, "Boy, are you sure?"
Xu Changsheng raised up his eyes to look at her, "How could I lie to you? I really saw them before. The day before yesterday they arrived. Back then they didn't even get into the city and a lot of people inquired about the price of vegetables. The two said it cost five hundred big coins per pot. Are they your sons?"
"I think so! Where did they go? All of my family are waiting for them to bring food back!" Liu Cuihua was extremely excited.
Xu Changsheng appeased her, "They went into the city yesterday which is not comparable with the outside. The commodity inside is extremely expensive. For example, you can cost five big coins for a bowl of wontons here while you have to cost fifty big coins inside."
Su Jiuyue and Liu Cuihua had the same surprised expressions on their faces. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and were speechless.
Seeing them stunned, Xu Changsheng laughed, "No need to surprise, all of them in the city are rich people. Your son's pots of vegetables might actually sell for five hundred big coins! "
Liu Cuihua heard the news from her sons. Therefore she put away her wallet satisfiedly, "All thanks to your lucky words. Then we two have a rest here tonight."
Liu Cuihua and Su Jiuyue shared the bowl of wontons together beside the bonfire and sipped two pancakes in the soup.
After eating, Su Jiuyue was about to return the bowl. Liu Cuihua was worried about her and insisted to accompany her. Moreover, she covered Su Jiuyue's face with a handkerchief lest someone should see her beauty.
If someone saw her beautiful daughter-in-law and was fascinated, it'll cause big trouble.
In the evening, the two found an unoccupied corner in the tent and slept for the night.
Of course there was no quilt here, but there was a lot of straw. So they didn't feel cold.
The next day, they woke up by the noise outside. They walked out and saw a long queue even if the city door hadn't opened yet.
Liu Cuihua hurried up to drag Su Jiuyue to line up. She heard someone in front of her said it spent ten big coins to get into the city. Liu Cuihua pursed and thought that the man they met yesterday was dishonest who knew their money isn't enough to get into the city but still encouraged them to pay for the accommodation.
Yong State was quite alien to Ox Head Town. The Yong State had more guardians than Ox Head Town. There was someone leashing a dog which looked fierce and thrilling.
After Liu Cuihua paid for them two and soldiers checked their numbers, they were allowed to get into the city.
The city's roads were all paved with bluestones and it is bustling inside, which the outside couldn't be comparable with.
Liu Cuihua was bewildered. How could she find her sons within so many people?
Su Jiuyue, who was on the side, tugged at her sleeve, "Mum, let's go to the vegetable market first! If big brother and second brother want to sell vegetables, they must go to the vegetable market."
Liu Cuihua clapped her hands, "You're right! Let's find the vegetable market first!"
The two inquired along their walk and headed towards the west of the city. When almost reaching the vegetable market, they saw there were a lot people around from a far distance.
"Hurry up, hurry up! The one whose crimes had condemned him to die is about to be executed today. Let's go and occupy a place first!"
