When they came to the city gate, the sun had already risen.

Liang Han looked at the tall city walls and towers, and felt very novel.

Because he doesn't travel much, he hasn't seen the ancient city tower with his own eyes.

However, unlike the tall towers he thought, the ones here are rougher and more like earthen walls.

When he saw the words above the city gate, Liang Han realized that he had become an illiterate.

Looking at the three words said to be called Pingmo City, Liang Han was filled with infinite emotion. "As a highly educated person, at this moment, I really understand the feeling of 'it knows me, I don't know it'. Really... ..."

He couldn't help but think, "What if I set up a letter with someone in the future and I'm cheated?"

"Little man, don't look, it's time to go in."

Uncle Liang's voice interrupted Liang Han became the resentment of the illiterate.

He quickly regained his senses and followed Liang Xiaoshu, leading the donkey cart into the city.

Liang Han felt that being illiterate was too much trouble, so he asked Uncle Liang, "Uncle, is there anyone in the village who can read?"

Uncle Liang said to him. "The village head can read, and so can the younger generation of his family, and so are the boys in your family. Can read, and the boy from Dongping's family, he also attended a private school for a few years...."

Listening to Liang Xiaoshu, he told Liang Han the few people in the village who knew how to read.

Liang Han pondered in his mind that when he was free, he could find someone to learn Chinese from, and which one he did not directly offend.

He couldn't help sighing when he thought about it, thinking that if he wanted to read and write with people, he would definitely have to put in a lot of effort.

Poor popularity is a big drawback.

After casually perfunctory Liang Xiaoshu asked him why he asked the people in the village who could read, the two went straight to the place where the food was sold.

Because the grain is graded, the people in the grain store carefully looked at Liang Han's wheat, and then offered a price of two cents a pound.

Liang Han also knew what happened to the grain he brought. The grains were not very full. Thinking that 300 catties could be sold for 600 yuan, he sold it happily.

Looking at the money given by the owner of the grain store, it was all copper coins, but not hundreds of them.

In this dynasty, the price of silver was very high, silver was rare, and copper coins were the main currency in circulation.

There are three kinds of copper coins in Nanyuan Kingdom, Tongbao, Chongbao and Xuanchong Chongbao.

Tongbao is divided into four types: 1, 2, 5, and 10.

That is to say, some Tongbao denominations are one cent, and two cents are equivalent to two cents. Similarly, five or ten cents are equivalent to five cents and ten cents.

As for Chongbao, it is equivalent to fifty pennies, and Xuanchong Chongbao is one hundred pennies.

The value of copper coins should be distinguished by the amount of copper content, and there are slight differences in size.

Among these three kinds of copper coins, Tongbao and Chongbao are more common, while Xuanchong Chongbao is rarely seen, at least the original owner has not seen it.

And in the copper coins he got, there was no shadow of Xuan Chong Chongbao.

Bumping the eight heavy treasures and the twenty Tongbao ten-folded, it actually feels quite heavy.

Liang Han saw that there were also soybeans for sale in the store, and he was also graded. He chose soybeans that he could use for three cents per pound.

Thinking of his family property totaling 703 cents, he inquired about the price of the water tank before, and it was 72 cents a piece.

If he needed at least 7 pieces, he would have to spend 504 cents, leaving only 199 cents left.

He also wanted to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Thinking that there are more than 40 kilograms of soybeans at home, he bought ten kilograms first.

After all, the first test does not require too much.

After buying the soybeans, the two continued to walk.

They have to order a water tank, because there must be a small hole under the tank where the bean sprouts sprout.

Uncle Liang led Liang Han to a place that sold jars and various jars. In this matter, Uncle Liang went out and wiped off the fractions in seven water tanks, a total of 500 wen.

After paying the deposit, Liang Han put away the remaining money and said to Uncle Liang, "Uncle, I don't have much salt in my house. I want to take the opportunity to buy some salt and then buy some other things."

Uncle Liang thought about it and said, "Sure, you give me the money to buy the water tank first, and I'll help you pull the water tank the day after tomorrow."

Liang Han smiled helplessly, Uncle Liang was afraid that the original owner's habit of spending a lot of money would wipe out the money.

He didn't say anything and directly gave the money to Uncle Liang.

Uncle Liang took the money and said to Liang Han, "Go find me outside the city gate when you buy something good. I'll be waiting for you there. Don't wander for too long, we have to rush home for lunch."

"Okay, I remember." Liang Han left with the remaining 173 cents in his basket. He was thinking about whether the money would be enough to buy what he wanted.

All the way, all the way to look at the various shops in the county.

This county does not look very prosperous, but it is still lively.

Looking at the surrounding ancient buildings with novel eyes, then according to memory, he came to his first destination, the place to buy salt.

In ancient times, salt and iron were all in the hands of the government.

Salt merchants stipulated that they could not set up distribution stores at will, and could only sell them in provincial capitals.

For example, if their village is close to the provincial capital, it is better, but if it is far away, they can only sneak in and buy salt sold privately.

However, the act of selling illicit salt is illegal, and if caught, they will be beheaded.

However, driven by interests, some people will still take risks.

After all, salt is lucrative.

Liang Han entered the store and saw it for himself, but there was no such thing as a warm greeting at all.

After all, there is only one family who sells salt, and they like to buy it or not.

As the first of all kinds of flavors, salt is an indispensable necessities of life for the people. But price-wise, it's not cheap. Liang Han looked at it.

According to his memory, there are two types of salt sold in the store, one is sea salt, and the other is called salt.

There is a huge gap in the quality of sea salt, with a total of 31 grades, ranging from the most expensive 49 cents a pound to the cheapest 8 cents a pound.

The quality of salt solution is not much different, divided into three grades, the highest is 47 cents per pound, and the lowest is 34 cents per pound.

He looked at it carefully, and after some consideration, he bought a pound of salt solution for 47 cents a pound. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "In ancient times, salt was different. Salt was more expensive than meat. I used to buy salt at the price of cabbage. I really miss it."

Carefully placed in the basket, it is actually retracted into the space.

Then continue to wander around the city, and finally buy everything you want to buy.

Soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, spices, and two pounds of spare ribs.

Soy sauce and vinegar are not expensive, they cost twenty-five cents, each one pound, in the jar he prepared in advance.

Sand sugar is called sand sugar because it resembles sand.

In fact, it is similar to modern granulated sugar, but the quality is slightly worse.

It costs twenty-six cents a pound, and he also buys a pound.

Spices, just a fist-sized packet, some prickly ash, star anise, cumin, and some dried ginger cost him forty cents.

As for the ribs, when he was visiting the vegetable market, he was really greedy, and the ribs were cheaper than meat, sixteen cents a pound, so he couldn't help asking for two pounds.

Then he found that he only had two cents left.

Holding the two copper coins, Liang Han couldn't help but sigh, "I can't help spending this little money."
