Chapter 425: The shop sold in Nandu is sold at a very low price?

Li Huyu had imagined Ziqian's life in Shuiqing countless times in Nandu.

The village had no worries about vegetables, but after the flood, the fields were barren and there might not be enough food. Fortunately, Manshan said there were a lot of potatoes. Even if he harvested a lot of them in Baijiazhuang, it shouldn't be a problem to feed the family with the rest.

She knew that Shuiqing raised chickens and rabbits. There were also many people. The chickens had to be kept for eggs, and they might not be willing to eat them. Fortunately, there were rabbits to eat from time to time.

She knew that Ziqian's life here would not be too difficult, but she never thought it would be so easy!

Since when did they raise pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits were countless.

She turned her head and looked at her husband, and saw Manshan scratching his forehead in a daze, whispering: "When I left, the food was not so abundant."

Otherwise, he would have told Huyu!

Over the past year, he and Hu Yu have been short of food and clothing in Nandu. They can still wear the same clothes as before, but the food shortage is really uncomfortable!

I always worry about how Shuiqing and his family will live in the village? After all, it is a long way from Shanshui Village to the capital city. It is not safe outside, and it is dangerous to go back and forth for several hours.

Without cloth and fresh meat, they have to live frugally.

But, I never expected that they are completely self-sufficient! And very rich!

Li Huyu muttered: "In prosperous times, the capital city, in troubled times, you still have to live in the village, the more remote the better."

"Nonsense, this is also the result of Shuiqing and Jindi's diligence and intelligence. Look at the lazy ones, they don't even have food!" Bai Manshan disagreed and retorted in a low voice.

Li Huyu rarely argued with him and agreed with his point of view.

Seeing that the two were standing there for a long time, Mother Hu greeted them warmly, "You two have come from afar, so we can't sit down until you two sit down. Come on, take a seat, so we can start eating."

Bai Ziqian looked at his parents who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Dad and Mom, try my roasted rabbit, it's delicious, eat more!"

Shui Qing followed, "Please persuade your parents to stay here for a while longer, so that they can develop the plump and plump figure they had when we first met!"

Bai Manshan waved his hands repeatedly and joked, "No, no! I lost weight with great difficulty. Don't you find that I look more handsome after losing weight? It's not easy, I don't want to get fat again!"

While saying that he didn't want to get fat again, he had already sat down honestly, and pulled his wife along, saying to everyone, "Hurry up and take a seat, and start eating!"

Others laughed with sadness.

The meal ended with Bai Manshan touching his round belly and burping.

After dinner, Ding Jiajia brought hawthorn water to help digestion and relieve greasiness, and Qin Yilin poured a full cup for Bai Manshan - fearing that he would have a hard time sleeping at night after eating too much.

Bai Manshan thanked him and took it happily.

They were too full for dinner and couldn't fall asleep immediately, so Bai Manshan, Li Huyu, Shuiqing and Fan Jin went to the tea room instead.

The others cleaned up the table and went outside to digest the food, so as not to disturb the four people talking about private matters.

Bai Ziqian looked at the tea room again and again, and finally followed Xing Hui and Fan Jiang outside.

In the tea room, the four people were indeed talking about private matters.

"Fortunately, the gold, silver, antiques and other things were transported to you in advance. You don't know that those bandits can still be kept out, and the officials and yamen runners are even worse than the bandits! After entering the house, they searched everywhere and looted many of the worthless vases!" Li Huyu gnashed his teeth when he thought of what happened at that time.

Bai Manshan patted his wife's hand and sighed, "Merchants are still lowly. People should not fight against officials. Just think of it as a loss of money to avoid disaster. It's fine as long as the foundation of our family is not affected."

When I was at the Bai family, my heart was at peace.

Even if those bandits really rushed in, at least Qian'er was not there, and when those officials broke in, the gold, silver and jewelry of the Bai family were also gone.

Fan Jin sighed silently.

Shui Qing thought, "It would be great if you could become the emperor's merchant."

They are also merchants, but with the word "emperor" in their name, they work for the emperor, so their status and position are naturally different.

Bai Manshan's eyes lit up, and he nodded continuously, then he sighed deeply: "I have thought about it before, but it is too difficult to become an imperial merchant! This is not something that can be achieved with just money. To put it bluntly, when a dynasty just starts, they must provide them with military supplies, and the most important thing is food and grass, so as to build merits and gain trust!

The imperial merchants are all appointed by the emperor, and they will be rich and noble in the future. To be honest, the silver of the Bai family can be ranked in the southern capital and even the whole Guangdong, but the provision of food and grass is still a little weak. Later, the world was peaceful, so I gave up this idea."

Shui Qing thought that the war between King Yan and the new emperor was an opportunity, but this was not something they could do if they wanted to. No matter which one of them, King Yan and the new emperor, was not something that ordinary people like them could see.

She asked instead: "Are you going to take part of the assets you left here back or take them all back this time?"

Bai Manshan shook his head: "None."

Shui Qing blinked, thinking she had heard wrongly.

Li Huyu explained her doubts: "There is still a little money in the family, which is enough for daily life.

Everywhere is in chaos now. Although the Bai family has not sold the shops and land at a low price like other families, they are not planning to buy more. There is no need to spend a large amount of money, so I have to trouble you to keep this money for a while."

Shui Qing's heartstrings moved fiercely, and she asked quickly: "How many shops are being sold in Nandu? Are the prices very low?"

"Not only is it low, it is already a low price, it has never been low! Think about it, there are floods and wars, antiques are in prosperity and gold is in chaos, and the same is true for shops. Those shops cannot be rented out, and they cannot be taken away. Don't think about selling it and turning it into money.

Once things get messed up, the money can be taken away at any time, otherwise it will just be a pile of bricks. "Li Huyu can understand the mentality of those who sell shops. Not every family has extra money. Only gold and silver are safe in the palm of your hand.

Shui Qing asked without hesitation: "How to sell the shop and the land?"

Li Huyu heard it, Shui Qing wanted to buy it?

She looked at the owner worriedly. She didn't understand things in the mall, but everyone was selling them now. Is it worthwhile for Shui Qing to buy at this time?

If there is a war later, the people can only run away, but the shop cannot take them with them, and the money will be wasted.

Shui Qing can't say that she knows that this battle will be almost over in three years. Besides, their place was a place of exile in the past, and it is not a battleground for military strategists. From another perspective, uh, it is safer.

"My idea is that floods don't happen often after all, especially if they are as serious as last year's. The war will end sooner or later. Once it ends, Nandu will become prosperous again. Our medicinal shop has made some money, so we can take advantage of this." Opportunity to purchase a store.”

Li Huyu's eyes were round and round, and he blurted out: "When did you open the herbal medicine shop?"

Why didn't she know?
