Chapter 28 Making friends and making a fortune
With many people, we can take care of each other. Grandpa Qin agreed: "Okay."
"Then it's settled, we'll send someone to call him tomorrow morning Brother Qin! "Old man Chai was very happy, but when the night wind blew him, he thought of the west of the village. He was so frightened by the evil rumors that he hurriedly said goodbye: "Brother Qin, we are going back first...don't say goodbye. I'm afraid there are a lot of things wandering outside this house, so don't come out. It's not safe."
He grabbed Zhang Niuwang, used him to embolden him, and quickly left the west of the village.
After arriving at the big house in the village, the Chai and Zhang families spent the whole night dealing with wild boars. Although they were very tired, they felt happy.
...
At dawn the next day, the Chai and Zhang families sent two bold young men over: "Mr. Qin, we made small garlic and roasted pig's blood and sent it to your house. Make breakfast. After you finish breakfast, we will set off to the town."
In addition to the roasted pig blood, there is also a three-pound meat, which is a thank you gift from Chai and Zhang. .
Grandpa Qin accepted it without refusing.
After breakfast, Grandpa Qin gave instructions to those left behind and took Qin Dashi, Qin Cunquan, Qin Laoliu and his son, Jiang Dalang and Qin Xiaomi out.
Grandma Qin was worried about Qin Xiaomi, so she warned her: "Follow your grandfather and Dalang closely, and don't run around... Dalang, please take good care of Xiaomi."
Qin Xiaomi was helpless: "Grandma, please come from We talked about it last night, don’t worry, I won’t run around.”
If she wanted to make money, she had to find out the situation of the shops in the town, so she begged her grandfather to take her to the town. Grandpa agreed, but grandma was very worried and kept talking about it.
Jiang Dalang said: "Grandma Qin, I will take good care of the millet, don't worry."
"It's getting late. Pick up the wild boar meat and let's go." Grandpa Qin said Shouting, Qin Dashi and the others picked up wild boar meat and left the west of the village.
"Brother Qin, you are here!" People named Chai and Zhang were already waiting. When they saw them, they greeted them enthusiastically.
Old man Chai also asked the young men of the Chai family to carry wild boar meat to the Qin family: "Brother Qin, don't be polite. If it weren't for your family, we wouldn't be able to catch the wild boar."
Qin After hearing this, grandpa was no longer polite and asked the young men of the Chai family to help pick the meat. A group of more than 20 people went to the town talking and laughing.
More than an hour later, we finally arrived at Taifeng Town.
Today is market day, the town is very lively, full of people going to the market and selling goods.
But farmers who sell their goods rarely enter the town because they have to pay money.
The yamen servant from Silifang in the town stopped at the entrance of the town and shouted: "You have to pay ten cents before you can enter the town to sell goods, otherwise you have to set up a stall outside the town!"
Da Wei There is no mayor in the dynasty, but there will be a secretary office in the town to take charge of the town's business affairs.
Old man Chai was heartbroken after hearing this, and discussed with Grandpa Qin: "Brother Qin, let the young people from several families stay to see the goods. Let's go to the town first and ask questions. After we find the buyer, we will bring the buyer out. You can save ten cents by getting the goods."
Qin Xiaomi thought: "Grandpa, you can't save some money. If you do, you will be in trouble."
Grandpa Qin was shocked when he heard this. He quickly took out sixteen coins and walked towards the policeman: "Master, we want to go into town to sell goods. Please be accommodating."
The fat policeman has seen six coins too much. Qian was very happy: "Go in, and when you meet the interrogating officer, tell me my name, Fatty Lu."
"Thank you, Master." Grandpa Qin hurriedly greeted Qin Dashi and the others to carry wild boar meat into the town.
Taifeng Town is very large, with four streets and sixteen lanes. The most prosperous main street is the main street, where there are grocery stores, cloth shops, grain shops, iron shops, food shops, tea stalls, and restaurants.
But they are all on the first floor, and there is not a single two-story attic in the whole town.
"Let's go to the restaurant and ask about the price." Grandpa Qin took the big guys and went straight to the restaurant in the town. He gave the waiter at the door a penny and asked him to help introduce the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper came out holding his nose, without even looking at the goods, and said directly: "Selling wild boar? You won't accept it, you won't accept it, we are the only restaurant in town, how can we serve such delicious food to our guests? You're a bitch? Get out of here."
"Sir, we just caught the wild boar last night. Look at the meat, it's fresh." Old Man Chai handed a piece of wild boar to the shopkeeper. of. "It stinks, take it away quickly, you soiled my new robe, you can't afford to pay!" The shopkeeper got angry and called to the guys: "Hurry up and get the sticks out and drive these beggars away!"
< br>
Grandpa Qin was afraid that Old Man Chai would be beaten, so he quickly pulled him away: "Brother Chai, let's go first."
Old man Chai shook his thin body and said with red eyes: "But this is the only restaurant in the town. If they don't accept it, who else can we sell it to?"
Qin Xiaomi said: "Grandpa Chai "There is a food shop at the corner of the street. If that doesn't work, we can pick up the wild boar meat and sell it in the county. There are many ways."
Old Man Chai. After hearing this, he wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Then let's go to the food shop and ask."
He then said: "Brother Qin, I'm so good-looking, I won't stand out for a while, so as not to The store dislikes it and doesn't buy our meat."
Grandpa Qin said: "Don't talk about yourself like that, you are just a little shorter and thinner."
But Old Man Chai was still worried. He stopped near Lao Song's food shop and asked Grandpa Qin to take Zhang Niuwang to inquire about the price.
This restaurant is not big, but there are many diners inside. Before they even knocked on the door, a fat old woman came out and said: "This smells really strong. Are you here to sell wild animals? Old man , someone is here to sell wild animals, come out and take a look!"
After shouting, he continued to work.
Not long after, a tall and thin old man came out, lifted the lid of the basket and looked at the wild boar meat inside: "It's good, fresh enough, and the fat is good. It's the fattest wild boar meat I've ever seen. Pork. "
Wild animals are generally thin, but because no one dares to go to the mountain behind the ghost village, the wild animals in the back mountain are quite fat.
The old man looked at them again and asked: "You guys look so embarrassed, but are you the victims who are fleeing the famine? Have you changed your local household registration? If you want to sell goods, you have to hold two people here as pledges to ensure that the guests have nothing to do after eating, and then they can leave." . ”
If something happens to the guest after eating wild boar, then the hostage should be taken to see the official.
It was so refreshing that Grandpa Qin and the others were stunned.
Qin Xiaomi hurriedly said: "Grandpa, get the household registration for the store."
Grandpa Qin came to his senses and quickly took out the new household registration: "The store, please take a look."
Old Man Song was shocked after seeing this: "You actually live in a ghost village."
"What? They live in a ghost village?" The customers at the restaurant were all shocked and stopped eating. They all looked at them and asked : "How long have you lived here? Have you encountered anything strange? That ghost Corpses are found every few years in the village. Move them quickly, otherwise you may be dragged into being a scapegoat."
"Don't be stunned, tell me quickly, is there anything weird? The ghost village is very gossipy!" The fat woman also ran out and asked.
Well, Qin Xiaomi smiled and told the truth.
The guests were disgusted after hearing this: "That's it?" It's not exciting at all.
However, Old Man Song still reminded them: "If you can, you should move away as soon as possible. After all, the village was massacred there."
Everyone in the village is dead, and the real culprit has not been caught yet.
Grandpa Qin: "Thank you for the reminder from the store, we will move as soon as we make money."
"Yes, you are so poor now that you can't move even if you want to." Old Man Song thought that Grandpa Qin is selling himself miserably, because This gave a good price: "Twenty-two cents per catty, my family wants one hundred catties."
Wild boar is considered second-class meat here, and generally can only be sold for twenty-two cents per catty. Song Dynasty The old man paid twenty-two cents per catty, which was really a high price.
Grandpa Qin immediately agreed: "Yes. But we have more than 400 kilograms of wild boar meat here. Do you want the store to buy more? We can give you two cents cheaper."
Qin Xiaomi followed: "If the store If you are willing to buy all the wild boar meat, I will give the store a method to remove the odor of wild boar meat.”
