Chapter 676: People from the Main Family Arrive

Shopkeeper Gu wore a smile and immediately raised his thumb: "Actually, now in the county city, all the large and small tea houses, wine-houses, and street snacks are selling deep-fried locusts. Sales are quite good, and prices vary, mostly between one and five copper coins. Even passing merchants who pass through Macheng County can't help but buy a few on the street to taste."

In those days, eggs were also one copper coin each, and it was incredible that such small and unremarkable deep-fried locusts also sold for one to five copper coins!

"Initially, we had many people in our manor who exchanged 1000 locusts for a small bowl of coarse grains. However, as people found business opportunities outside, now there are people outside exchanging 1000 locusts for a big bowl of coarse grains, or 900 live locusts for a large bowl of coarse grains, and business is good."

"Indeed it is good, as I expected."
