In the carriage, Princess Xiang Cheng and Princess Chang Le were stunned.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, Princess Xiang Cheng and Princess Chang Le would not have believed that there was a mother in the world who would beg someone to buy her child.
And it only cost a hundred wen.
Ever since the drought and locust plague broke out, the price of rice in Chang 'an had skyrocketed again. From five or six wen per bucket of rice, it had risen to nearly twenty wen now.
In other words, 100 wen could only buy five buckets of rice.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had nowhere else to go, the skinny woman would never have done this.
If the children followed her, they would probably starve to death on the streets.
Only by selling the child would both parties have a chance to live. Perhaps they would meet again in the future.
This was a cruel year of disaster.
The commoners who lived at the bottom of the social ladder would have their families destroyed if they were not careful. They would not have the strength to resist at all.
……
"What are you doing? You're not allowed to offend the noble! Hurry up and leave!"
The Thousand Bull Guards, who were responsible for protecting Princess Chang Le, saw the woman approaching the carriage and subconsciously rushed forward, preparing to push her away.
The Thousand Bull Guards knew that their duty was to protect the two princesses, so they had no time to sympathize with the skinny woman.
If anything happened to the safety of the two princesses, they would not be able to keep their lives.
……
Seeing the guards surrounding her, despair flashed in the skinny woman's eyes. However, she did not say anything else. She only tightened her grip on the child.
At this moment, Princess Xiang Cheng spoke,"
"Wait…"
The few Thousand Bull Guards who were about to chase him away paused when they heard this. Could it be that the Princess of Xiang City wanted to buy this child as a servant?
At this moment, Princess Xiang Cheng's pink lotus-like hand suddenly stretched out from the carriage. She held a jade hairpin in her hand.
" Sister, we don't need slaves…You can pawn this jade hairpin at the pawnshop. It should be able to exchange for three to five hundred copper coins. I hope it can help you…"
Princess Xiang Cheng's tone was gentle, and there was a hint of sobs in her voice.
The few Thousand Bull Guards were a little surprised when they saw this scene…The jade hairpin that Princess Xiang Cheng had plucked from her head could only be pawned for a few hundred wen? This was too frugal!
The skinny woman was already in despair, but she was now completely stunned.
The benefactor did not want her child, but was willing to help her…
This was simply unbelievable!
Was there really such a kind-hearted daughter of a rich family in the world?
For a moment, the skinny woman could not believe the reality. She stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to move.
It was the Thousand Bull Guard who couldn't stand it anymore." If my young miss wants you to take it, then take it. Why would she be afraid of harming you?”
The farmer's wife finally came back to her senses. She looked at the skinny child and reached out with a trembling hand to take the jade hairpin from Princess Xiang Cheng. She said gratefully," Thank you for your great kindness, Miss. I hope that you will live a peaceful life and be rich and powerful…"
After she finished speaking, the woman patted the child in her arms." Little boy, quickly thank the young lady with your mother…"
The child's confused eyes looked at the luxurious carriage and whispered," Thank you, Miss…"
Princess Xiang Cheng narrowed her eyes slightly and replied gently," Take care."”
When Princess Chang Le saw this scene, she tilted her head slightly and a thoughtful expression appeared on her cute face.
……
Not long after, the luxurious carriage carrying the two princesses arrived in front of the meteoric rise themed snack bar.
It was still early in the morning and there were not many customers in the shop.
There were more than ten large iron pots in front of the house, but only two of them were on fire. A waiter was taking care of the stove, and two chefs were frying the cleaned locusts in the pot.
Yang Qian was settling accounts at the counter, and Luo Yanran was accompanying him by the side to serve tea and water, just like a personal maid.
"Business is actually good?" Yang Qian roughly calculated the previous day's accounts and found that after deducting various expenses, he could actually earn a gross profit of five strings of money a day.
" It's not that simple. Young Master, you don't know how famous you are now…"
Luo Yanran smiled and said with admiration," When the flyers were distributed, many people knew about our shop.
Later, when the news that you and Heavenly Master Yuan were both conferred the title of State Preceptor spread, the entire Chang 'an knew about the existence of this shop.
Moreover…it's rumored that the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Shimin, has also come to our shop. Many people want to bask in the glory of the royal family, so they've also come to help…
If it wasn't for the fact that you set the rule of small profits but high turnover, sent a lot of deep-fried locusts to the relief porridge stalls, and the imperial court opened more than ten similar shops at the same time, our business would have been even better…"
Yang Qian was a little surprised. He thought that the people of the Great Tang were enlightened and recognized the deliciousness of fried locusts, which was why there was such a good business.
Who would have thought that the biggest reason was that he had become a " popular star " and that Li Er had come to the shop, causing the people to follow suit and visit...
This was also good. In any case, it was already good that this shop could operate normally. Yang Qian did not expect it to make money.
Moreover, every shop opened by the imperial court still owed Yang Qian a joining fee.
One had to know that Yang Qian, who had earned many rewards from Li Er's hands, was already a small rich man with a great fortune to begin with.
It was too vulgar to talk about money all day.
"Since that's the case, then the unit price of the new oil's first exclusive fried locust dish will be raised from 20 coins to 50 coins per plate!”Yang Qian casually instructed Luo Yanran.
There were several different grades of fried locusts, and the main difference was that the order of frying was different.
It was the same pot of oil, but it had been cooked early. The taste was pure, the grade was high, and the price was high.
The taste of the tail oil was very mixed, so it could only be sent to the welfare porridge stall as disaster relief food.
Luo Yanran was slightly stunned." Fifty wen for a plate? Isn't that too expensive?"”
"I'm fine." Yang Qian calmly explained," You have to understand that a customer who is willing to spend 20 wen to bask in the glory would never mind paying an extra 30 wen…"
Luo Yanran thought for a moment and understood what Yang Qian meant.
The poor would not be so bored that they would spend tens of wen to join in the fun.
Those were all filthy rich people. Slaughtering them for nothing!
Thinking of this, Luo Yanran happily changed the price of the menu.
At this moment, Princess Chang Le and Princess Xiang Cheng, who saw Yang Qian in the shop, walked out of the carriage and entered the shop under the protection of the Thousand Bull Guards.
