Chapter 3 Use jade pendant for money
Just when he was depressed on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the mechanical voice of his assistant Fubao came up again at the right time, "Master Fu's farm is now a first-level farm. It can only unlock one piece of soil, which can be used to grow radishes. The output is one per second. The blessed Lord must come in and collect the crop yields into the warehouse within eight hours at the latest, otherwise the crops will stop producing. Will the blessed Lord start planting now?"
After talking to Fubao for a long time, Yuan Chuyi finally understood that this virtual farm system could provide her with various crop seeds and some agricultural and sideline products of corresponding levels according to the level of the farm.
The premise is that she must first plant virtual crops, and then use the virtual crop yields to upgrade the farm, unlock more soil blocks, and plant more crops. She can also use a certain amount of crop yields to exchange with the system for what she wants. Plant and use the seeds or agricultural and sideline products you need in daily life.
The higher the farm level, the more crop seeds and agricultural and sideline products it can provide, and the better the quality.
"Can't you just give me some rice, pork, etc. Why do you need me to go to the trouble of growing them?" Yuan Chuyi said angrily.
The mechanical sound sounded again, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Happiness comes from hard work. Please don't think about getting something for nothing! Blessed Lord, he comes to the farm diligently to fertilize, water, weed, and catch insects for the crops. He will There is a chance to receive unexpected surprise benefits!”
Yuan Chuyi gave up the idea of sitting back and enjoying the gains and immediately started growing radishes on the virtual farm. The yield of one per second seems very fast, but a packet of cabbage seeds with the lowest exchange value on the farm consumes a thousand crop yields! There is really no free lunch in the world.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she changed her clothes and came out, thanked Zhang Xiujuan, and took off the silver bracelet on her wrist in front of Wang Guifen, "Aunt, I have nothing now, only this bracelet that my mother left behind before she died. I I want to pawn it to get some money to tide over the current difficulties. Do you know how to get to the city?"
Wang Guifen was also worried that the man who was the village head of her family would use the family's rice and grain to provide relief to her siblings because they had nothing on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. Now that she saw that Yuan Chuyi still had valuable things on her body that could be used as money, her hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and she became more enthusiastic:
"We happen to be going to the city to sell cloth, why don't you come with us!"
"Then Auntie Lao will show me the way!"
Wang Guifen asked Zhang Erye, who had an ox cart in the village, to hitch the cart, and then took Yuan Chuyi to get on the ox cart and go to the city together.
Xishan Village is about twelve miles away from Fucheng, and it took nearly three quarters of an hour to get there by ox cart. As soon as I arrived outside the city gate, I saw people coming and going at the city gate on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. When I entered the city, the streets were even more bustling with people, and the shouts of vendors kept coming and going. Although it is November in the dead of winter, the whole city is still full of energy and steaming.
Wang Guifen said that the price offered by Ruifuzhai Pawnshop in the city was fair, so she took Yuan Chuyi there first and let her go in to pawn items, and then she went to the cloth shop not far away to sell cloth.
There were currently no customers in the pawn shop. There was only a young man sitting drowsily behind the fence counter. But when he heard someone entering the shop, he immediately stood up to greet the customers respectfully.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she first took out the silver bracelet and asked the young man to evaluate it. The young man looked at it and gave her fifteen hundred copper coins because she was a pawn. The first day of the Yuan Dynasty had no objection and accepted the copper plate, and then took out the piece of silver. The jade pendant was appraised by the young man.
The young man couldn't put it down immediately after getting the jade pendant in his hand. He praised it as a rare ancient jade, but he also looked at Yuan Chuyi warily and asked her where the jade pendant came from.
In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, it was said that it was a family heirloom, but it was taken out as a last resort because of the family's financial difficulties. The young man asked her what her name was and where she lived. Yuan Chuyi said that her surname was Yuan. As for where she lived, she thought it was a private matter and did not tell him. However, she assured that the jade pendant was indeed an ancestral inheritance. This time, it was a living gift for one year.
When the young man saw that she was frail and poorly dressed, he immediately saw that her situation was really embarrassing, so he gave her one hundred and eighty taels of silver and issued a one-year demand note to her without asking any more questions.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he collected the banknotes and copper plates and then came out of the pawn shop. She saw that the busy streets were lined with various stalls selling everything. There are sellers of knick-knacks and snacks and cakes, and there is a dazzling array of things to choose from. Customers stop in front of each stall to buy something.
Wang Guifen came out with a smile on her face after selling the cloth. It seemed that she got a good price. As soon as she walked out of Buzhuang, she saw Yuan Chuyi looking around in the crowd. She thought Yuan Chuyi wanted to buy these gadgets, so she hurriedly walked over to stop her.
"Ms. Yuan, these things are of no use to you, so don't waste your money on them!" Wang Guifen said, "You have to settle down your home first, and then go buy some pots, pans, firewood, rice, oil, and salt to go back home."
Wang Guifen took Yuan Chuyi to a market in the west of the city. Here, they sold daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil, salt, meat and vegetables, much like a farmers market.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she spent five cents to buy a backpack, and then bought some coarse rice and noodles, pots and pans, and stuffed the basket so full that her small body could hardly walk.
When Wang Guifen saw this, she couldn't help laughing and said: "You girl, don't you know how to live? That bracelet was pawned for so much money that you can't spend it so lavishly! The days will be long in the future. If you spend all the money at once, how will you live in the future? Yo!"
Yuan Chu smiled and said, "You have to spend what you have to spend. If the money is gone, make money again! I just don't know what I can do to make money now!"
"In these winter months, the weather is so cold, how can we make money. We usually spin and sell ramie we grow at home to support our family." Wang Guifen said leisurely, "There are still two months until spring. You don’t have much income right now, so you should spend it sparingly.”
Yuan Chuyi nodded obediently, "Okay, Auntie, I understand!"
She won't argue with someone who has helped her. Making money is her own business and she has to rely on herself.
"Aunt, why are there so many radishes selling in this market? Do we all grow radishes to sell?"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I saw people selling juicy radishes everywhere in the market, and they were very cheap, costing one penny or two pounds. It is said that you eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer. She also bought a lot of radishes and prepared to cook them.
"This radish is easy to grow. It can survive on its own without much care. It can be cooked fresh and eaten, or dried into dried radish and stored for later consumption. Naturally, more people will grow such a good vegetable!"
Yuan Chuyi understood it, no wonder even virtual farms are growing radishes.
By the time they returned to Xishan Village after shopping, it was already dusk. Just arrived at the bridge, Yuan Chuyi saw Yuan Shiwu and Yuan Liu standing at the courtyard gate from a distance, looking at the road with eager anticipation. When she returned to the courtyard gate and got off the ox cart, the two children immediately jumped into her Crying in my arms.
"Sister, you're back, Sixteen said you don't want us anymore!" Fifteen said in tears.
