Chapter 97: Paying to Enter the City

Sure enough, in front of delicious food, love is nothing.

Gu Sanlang took the rabbit aside and killed it. Gu Fei rinsed it a little, and Lian'er quickly took it over, "Miss Xiao Fei, tell me how to do it, I'll do it, don't dirty your hands."

Lian'er insisted on calling her Miss, Gu Fei had no choice but to say, "Just chop it into small pieces."

Chen came over, "Don't eat it today, you've eaten the cake, save it for tomorrow."

Gu Fei nodded, "Okay, then I'll marinate it first and make it tomorrow."

She took salt, pepper, and cooking wine and poured them into the basin, mixed them with chopsticks, then covered the lid, wrapped it and put it in the car.

Uncle Ma originally decided to distance himself from Gu Fei, the spy. He found that he had already liked Xiao Fei, this girl, but this was not okay. How could he have a good impression of a spy? At this time, she couldn't resist the temptation of rabbit meat and came over, "Little Fei, what are you going to do with the rabbit meat?"

Gu Fei smiled: "How about making a dry pot rabbit meat?"

Uncle Ma's Adam's apple moved, "That's definitely good."

Uncle came over, "Where's your rabbit skin? Don't throw it away. Let it dry for a few days. I'll help you tan it when I'm free."

Gu Fei smiled and said, "Okay, thank you uncle. This skin can make a hat for Xiaocao."

Lanzhi said beside her: "I'll do it after the skin is tanned. It can also make a scarf. I think this rabbit is big enough."

Now that Lian'er has come, she has a deep sense of crisis. Why is she so smart and rushes to do everything? Compared with herself, she is just a fool.

Uncle Ma arranged people to keep watch and everyone went to sleep.

The next morning, they got up and hurried on their way.

There were still many disaster victims on the road, and the speed of travel was slow.

Originally, Uncle Ma estimated that he could reach Tongcheng at 5 p.m., but he saw the city wall at the end of 5 p.m.

When everyone arrived at the city gate exhausted, the gate was already closed. It was unknown whether it had been closed all day or had never been opened.

There were shacks everywhere around the city gate, especially along the bottom of the city wall.

After finally finding a vacant space under the hungry eyes of the disaster victims, everyone unloaded the car.

Gu Zhang and the village chief hurriedly asked people around whether the city gate was still open.

There is a river running through Tongcheng. Although the water level is much lower than in previous years, there is no shortage of drinking water. Several families hurried to the river to fetch water.

After a while, Gu Zhang and the village chief came back after asking around and said to everyone, "The city gate will be open early tomorrow morning, but the opening hours are shortened now. It will be closed at the end of the afternoon, and you have to pay to enter the city. An adult has to pay 300 coins, and so do boys. Children don't have to pay."

Everyone was furious when they heard this, "300 coins per person! How much silver does that cost?"

The village chief squatted on the ground and sighed. There were eight people in his family, and it would cost more than two taels of silver just to enter the city. Just thinking about it made him feel heartbroken.

Zhang Lao Da was reluctant to leave, and looked at Uncle Ma, "Uncle Ma, can't we just go around and not go through the city?"

Uncle Ma shook his head, "If we don't go through the city, I've never been there, so I don't know the way. Besides, I don't know how far it will take."

"If you go into the city, go out through the East Gate, which is still the official road."

Gu Zhang said in a deep voice: "There have been rich families distributing porridge at the gate of the city for several days, so the victims gathered here and refused to leave."

"I heard that the fee for entering the city is to distinguish the victims and prevent them from entering the city to disrupt the order of the city."

After all, those who can afford the city entrance fee have money and purchasing power in their hands, so they won't steal or rob.

"Everyone, figure out how to go." Gu Zhang said and didn't care.

In fact, each family still has some money in their hands, but they are reluctant to spend it.

After talking for a while, everyone quickly built a stove to cook.

At this time, Qian Shi was angry again when she saw Xiao Hong. Did she have to pay this girl 300 coins to enter the city?

There are many cities along the way. If we pay them all, I'm afraid it will cost more than a few taels of silver!

But Xiaohong is still useful now. Qian rolled her eyes and said, "Xiaohong, go to the river and fetch two buckets of water."
