It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 197

Wu Fusui woke up, but he was already stupid and not pretending.

Commander Mo was drafting a document when he heard the doctor's report. After sending the doctor away, he stared at the content he had just written for a long time before he regretfully crossed out a few items and re-copied it.

Jiang Yan got up early and passed by a bookstore. He quickly glanced at it and found that there were many books on sale.

She walked into the store despite the store owner's surprised and contemptuous look, and asked in a low voice if there were any route maps to the surrounding prefectures.

The shopkeeper looked up with his nose in the air and squinted his eyes: "How can such an important map be sold in the market?"

"Then it wasn't sold." Jiang Yan came to the conclusion and turned away calmly.

She turned a blind eye to the store owner's bad attitude. The experience of the past two years has taught her that it is better to turn a blind eye to unimportant things.

Especially arguing with people with bad personalities and tempers is not only unnecessary, but also easy to get yourself into trouble.

Jiang Yan pretended to be deaf and dumb, but the shopkeeper felt uncomfortable. In the past, some poor people in shabby clothes had come into the shop, and they always had to be brave and acted cautiously and answered carefully, for fear of offending him.

He said to Jiang Yan, who had already stepped out of the bookstore, "You won't find a map with a detailed route marked on it even if you search all the prefectures and counties. But we are a good bookstore and have a simplified version."

The simplified version was fine. Jiang Yan felt that she only needed the general direction, and once she took it for a walk, the content would be enriched. Maybe she could even leave it to the descendants of Dongshan Village as a family heirloom.

The shopkeeper was very proud of Jiang Yan who had returned: "What a pity, the simplified version of the map is expensive. You... you can't afford it even if you sell yourself."

I wonder if anyone has ever put a sack on this foul-mouthed man before... Jiang Yan forced a smile that looked respectful but was actually mocking: "How many copper coins does that one cost?"

"Oh, copper coins? Let me tell you, one piece costs two taels of silver. Can you take out the money from your wallet?" The shopkeeper chattered away. He had been holding his anger against the previous distinguished guests for several days, and this time he felt relieved that he could ridicule them without any scruples.

He narrowed his eyes and stroked a few strands of his beard: "But this time I'm kind."

"Give it to me for free?" Jiang Yan interrupted the shopkeeper at the right moment, but it was obvious that what he said would only make him angrier.

It was obvious to the naked eye that the shop owner was so angry that he was puffing out his beard and glaring, but his beard was too sparse to be clearly seen, and it was not as obvious as glaring.

Jiang Yan fought back slightly, but she still wanted to buy the map, so she couldn't bargain too much.

Jiang Yan quickly took out a tael of silver and flashed it before the shopkeeper before putting it back into his pocket. "I only have one tael. Will you sell it to me?"

The shopkeeper was even more furious. How could he bargain like he was in a market when entering a bookshop? This was an insult to him and the books. The shopkeeper pointed his index finger at the door, signaling Jiang Yan to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan blurted out without hesitation: "Give me another copper coin off? You are so kind and generous, store owner!"

Damn it! Jiang Yan looked at the shopkeeper's completely black face and felt that he might have accidentally eaten some poisonous mushrooms, otherwise why would he suddenly go crazy and cause trouble in this situation.

Although Jiang Yan was madly blaming and criticizing herself in her heart, she pretended nothing serious had happened. She took out a copper coin from somewhere and placed it on the counter between them. Then she apologized calmly:

"I'm sorry, I was so excited that I said something wrong. The price is one ounce of silver and one copper coin. I'll make up the copper coin now."

Shopkeeper: ...Why on earth did he waste his time arguing with this idiot?
