Quick Travel: Records of Extraordinary Creatures

"Ancient world?
So what you mean is that the new world connected by the treasure bound by Xiaoxiao is actually similar to our world dozens or hundreds of years ago, and the copper coins and broken silver that were used very early!

The bazaar is also different from what it is now. On the contrary, it is the same as ten years ago. You don’t need coupons to buy things, you only need money.

That's fine.

But our family has no money. We had a few silver dollars a few years ago, but they have already been used! "

The main point of Qu Jie's words.

Mrs. Huang obviously still didn't get it.

She only paid attention to the fact that in that world, she didn't need coupons to buy things, and that although she didn't have coupons, she didn't have money either.

Regardless of whether it is the money of this world or the money that can be used in the ancient world, she doesn't have it. Even if she barters, she can't find anything of value at home.

"No, Grandma Huang, don't you understand me at all, you have to listen carefully!

Have you ever considered that even the salt in the kitchen was expensive in the ancient world? Although our salt needs salt tickets, at least the price is cheap and everyone can afford it, but it was different in ancient times , even the coarse salt we use to pickle pickles, not all people could afford it in ancient times.

Although it is inappropriate and dangerous to sell private salt in ancient times, it is not a problem to sell a little bit and exchange a little start-up capital, and then you can also sell glass beads, or other glass products, mirrors, etc., tens or hundreds Two silver coins can definitely be exchanged.

There is absolutely no risk in buying and selling small amounts.

If there is danger, I can bring you back in time. At that time, we will change to a new county to continue.

In ancient times, with money, although you can’t buy bicycles, radios, sewing machines and other things, you can buy some food, chicken, duck, fish, pork and mutton. Look how thin Xiaoxiao and Ping’an are. They are all seven or eight years old, and they look like they are four or five years old.

The weight is estimated to be only half of the future children of the same age.

This is obvious malnutrition, and it may affect development. If he died too early, there is a high probability that he was also malnourished when he was a child. The root cause lies.

You don't want to make up for them? "

Whether it is Qu Jie's state of mind or the state of holographic projection, there is no way to go directly to the ancient times to trade, exchange food for them, and there is no way to dump supplies here, pretending to be a ghost is more suitable for her

So of course we can only try our best to persuade Mrs. Huang.

let her do it.

After all, you can't expect Xiaoxiao and Ping'an to dump supplies back and forth, that would undoubtedly be even more inappropriate.

After being reminded by Qu Jie, the old lady Huang suddenly realized that she was already in her early fifties this year. When she was young, she had heard the old people at home talk about ancient times, and she herself had experienced more difficult and difficult years. If Qu Jie mentioned other things Things, she may not really feel the difference, but the price of salt is really impressive.

Three or 40 years ago, the price of salt was not only expensive.

It is also difficult to buy, it is difficult to buy good salt.

In the village or in some nearby villages, some people were poisoned to death by eating poisonous salt because of the lack of salt.

Apart from other aspects, at least the country has completely helped solve the problem of salt. The price is so low that it was unimaginable in the past. Two eggs can be exchanged for a catty of salt.

In the past, forty eggs could not be exchanged.

Although the purchase is limited, at least everyone can afford it and can buy it. This is much better than in the past, not to mention that the quality of salt is better than in the past. Compared with mixing sand and stone in it, and mixing soil in it, the salt sold today is really the salt that officials and lords can eat.

If you sell it decades ago, you will definitely make a profit.

Let alone selling to an earlier era.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Huang pondered for a while and then decided to do it. Anyway, she is not buying and selling here, so it is not illegal to think about it. Besides, her granddaughter has one who cannot be seen or touched, but she can indeed store a lot of it. The place where the things are exchanged is just put there. You don’t have to worry about being discovered by others. You can even go to the ancient world to eat, so that the smell of stewed meat and fish is too fragrant to be smelled by others. , in short, the problem is definitely not big.

The biggest problem is that Xiaoxiao and Pingan must remember that they must not say these things to the outside world.

But on this point, Mrs. Huang also thinks there should be no problem. After all, the two children are quite obedient, and they can hang them with delicious food later.

They certainly dare not speak nonsense.

Considering that it is now daytime in the ancient world, when it is daytime on their side, it may already be night on the other side of the ancient world, and business cannot be done. In addition, there is more than a catty of salt in the salt jar at home, which should be enough Get some silver from the ancient world.

So Mrs. Huang simply didn't sleep, and took the salt jar with her, and then, as a family of three, went to the ancient world to sell salt again.

I didn't go to the county town to sell it, nor did I go to the market to sell it.

Instead, according to Qu Jie's guidance, he took salt to the nearest village, and went straight to a family that Qu Jie used his soul scan to find that he was kind-hearted, had a little surplus of food, and could afford salt.

Knock on the door and make up stories to sell salt.

The story is probably that the salt was bought when the old man in the family was around. After the old man passed away, the funeral expenses were too high, etc., and the family could no longer open the pot.

So I can only exchange these salts for some food.

After all, if you lack salt, you will not die for a while, but if you have no food for seven or eight days, you will starve to death directly.

And the price is cheaper.

Only half a load of rice is needed, which is fifty catties of rice.

Although the official price of salt in ancient times was also very expensive, it was definitely not so expensive that it was too expensive to be unaffordable. It usually sold for forty or fifty yuan a catty.

It is about eight to ten times the price of rice.

Normally, a catty of salt can only be exchanged for ten catties of rice.

But the key point is that it is difficult for ordinary people to buy salt at this price. They can only buy salt that has been poured into countless hands. In many cases, the price of salt is no longer the original price, but five times and ten times higher. The most outrageous At one time, it even reached three tans of rice and one catty of salt.

In other words, three hundred catties of rice can be exchanged for one catty of salt.

The specific price depends on various factors such as the local merchants, the government's control and other factors, but the price that Qu Jie asked Mrs. Huang to quote is basically the market price for ordinary people to buy salt.

It's just the market price of a catty, and the salt in her salt jar is more than a catty, at least two or three taels more.

So the family discussed it carefully, and then poured out all the salt in Mrs. Huang's salt jar and checked it. They were sure that there were no impurities in it, and the quality was very good, even weighing more than a catty. After a while, he readily agreed to Mrs. Huang's deal.

Not only did he take a basket full of fifty catties of rice.

He also took ten eggs to Mrs. Huang, saying that their family does not take advantage of others, and that Mrs. Huang should mourn or something.

It can be seen that Qu Jie's ability to read faces is also good.

People are really kind.

In the 70s and s, the price of salt seemed to be around cents to cents. There were differences in different places. There were three eggs for one cent, and later it rose to two cents. Locals can go directly to the consignment point to exchange, a small amount can be exchanged, there is no way to buy a large amount, and the village collective can only buy it with agricultural and animal husbandry salt.
