Chapter 262 Go to Fucheng
Huang Laoer also specially warned Huang Duogui and his wife: "You two, be honest, if you dare to make trouble again, the leader of this clan will banish you from the clan today!"
He also said to the Huang family: "If you don't want to be implicated by them, then keep an eye on them together."
If you are implicated, then you will be implicated. As their interests would be damaged, the Huang family immediately glared at Huang Duogui and his wife: "Be honest, if you dare to anger the Qin family and cause trouble for the Huang family, we will break your legs and drive you out of the village! "
Huang Duogui and his wife were frightened and quickly promised: "We are just here to buy food and we will not cause trouble."
After hearing this, the Huang family let them go.
But Huang Laoer still kept an eye on the couple... As for the Huang Gui family, they kept an eye on Huang Wu at home to prevent her from running out and acting like a monster.
Not long after, Grandpa Qin and the others came and said directly: "The winter supplies purchased by the Jia family are limited. Each family can only buy according to the quantity, and cannot buy more."
He asked again. Jiang Dalang quoted the price of rice, flour, cotton and other items.
Jiang Dalang: "New cotton costs one hundred and twenty cents per catty, old cotton costs eighty cents per catty, and miscellaneous cotton costs fifty-five cents per catty. New rice and noodles cost thirty-three cents per catty; old rice Millet costs twenty-five cents per catty; soybeans cost nine cents per catty; arrowroot powder costs seven cents per catty.”
The villagers exclaimed: "New rice and new noodles are so expensive? It's already as expensive as fat meat!"
And the new cotton... they really can't afford it.
Jiang Dalang said coldly: "It is still a year of disaster, and there is still war in the south. To get this price, we still rely on the help of the Jia family. Thank you for your kindness."
Asked again. : "What do you want to buy? Come here." Register, and those who don’t want to buy will go home. It’s cold, we are very busy, and we don’t have much time for you.”
After hearing this, the villagers trembled and did not dare to waste his time, so they hurriedly reported that they wanted to buy. Things and kilograms.
Most of them buy old rice, millet, soybeans, and arrowroot starch. They only buy a few kilograms of new rice and noodles to save for making dumplings during the New Year.
Huang Duogui's family is the stingiest, shouting: "My family wants fifty kilograms of arrowroot powder!"
This is the cheapest.
The family named Chai Zhang Hu Qian said again: "Village Chief, in addition to food, each of our families also needs ten kilograms of old cotton!"
Ten kilograms of cotton is definitely not enough, but The Jia family brought limited things, and they couldn't buy them all.
Sun Daliang's family was poor and there were many people. He didn't even dare to buy old cotton. He only bought ten kilograms of miscellaneous cotton... This was definitely not enough, but he had already planned to go to various villages to collect rags at low prices. After they are washed and dried, they are sewn into winter clothes.
If they still don’t have enough clothes, let the children who are not yet able to work wear autumn clothes and stay at home on the stove and bed... As long as they don’t go out, there is no need to wear cotton-padded jackets.
"It's done." After Jiang Dalang registered them, Grandpa Qin led each household head to move things in batches. They worked for an hour before they were done.
80% of the things in the house have been gone, leaving only a few hundred kilograms of new rice and noodles, more than a hundred kilograms of new cotton, and the most expensive sheepskin.
"Each of us will buy some whole grains, vegetables, meat and eggs, plus the things in this house, it will be enough for us to survive the winter." Grandpa Qin looked at the food in the house and felt a lot more at ease.
After they finished their work, Jia Xiang secretly gave Jiang Dalang a box as if he were presenting a treasure, and whispered: "This is a needle thread specially used for sewing leather clothes and boots. You can give it to the Qin family, so that you can look good... This is When you buy leather, the shopkeeper gives it to you for free. If you are embarrassed, Just give me a tael of silver."
"Thank you." Jiang Dalang accepted his kindness. After all, brothers can't get along if they are too pretentious, and said: "Let me clean the house for you. , let’s stay in the guesthouse together tonight... The workshop is making secret recipe packets, so it’s not easy to bring outsiders in. "Stay."
Jia Xiang didn't care about this and said with a smile: "I know all the rules in the workshop and will not exceed them... By the way, I used the diagram of the human body's vital points that you taught me and successfully defeated those few. Bastards, they were beaten badly by me, and they still firmly believed that I wasn't the one who beat them down. They said it was the Jia family who asked for help. Harm the martial arts masters and sneak attack them from a distance." Jia Xiang kept talking, very excited, and said: "Don't worry, they are not disabled, they will be cured in half a month."
< br>
Jiang Dalang nodded: "As long as you are measured."
He said solemnly: "If you are careless, you have to bear the consequences yourself."
Jia Xiang also straightened his face and said seriously: "I know...Before taking action, you have to think about the consequences. I think so." That's why he just beat them down."
And he can't do anything to beat others, even if those people always bully him.
After Jiang Dalang heard this, he felt a little more satisfied with Jia Xiang.
……
Before dinner, Jiang Dalang gave the box to Qin Xiaomi and said, "It's needle and thread specially used to sew leather boots... It doesn't cost any money. It's considered the hard work of my family to make leather boots for my sister-in-law and Grandma Qin."
"Cheng ." Qin Xiaomi accepted it readily, then turned around and gave the box to Grandma Qin.
Grandma Qin was very happy and sighed: "These things are not cheap. Master Jia is so kind to Dalang. This little brother is worth it."
I am afraid that Jiang Dalang will be in Jia's house. With his head lowered in front of him, he hurriedly packed up a batch of large crimson and gold cloths and a set of dry paints, preparing for Jiang Dalang to give them to Jia Xiang as a return gift.
Seeing how busy she was, Qin Xiaomi wanted to persuade her, but held it back.
That night, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and Aunt Qin began to cut leather and prepare to make leather boots.
"Grandpa, your leather cutting skills are really good. It's not damaged at all." Qin Xiaomi looked at Grandpa Qin in surprise, not expecting that the old man also had the skills to make leather boots.
"I learned it all in the military camp when I was young." When Grandpa Qin said this, he seemed to remember the past, with some unknown emotions on his face, and quickly said to Qin Xiaomi: "Hurry up and go Measuring the shoe size, don’t wait for your grandma to measure it for you.”
“I know, let’s measure it now.” Qin Xiaomi took the small rope, measured the size and length of her cotton shoes, and then went to measure them. A little guy measures it.
The family worked for an hour, cutting all the leather needed for the boots, and then went to wash and sleep.
...
The next day, at 6 o'clock in the morning, the convoy of nine major merchants arrived at the ghost village.
Xue Dongjia, Huang Yanglong, Xiaobai and others also came, a huge group of people, quite spectacular, and attracted the attention of eight villages in ten miles.
Grandpa Qin took Jiang Dalang to greet him personally: "Everyone in charge, you are here so early."
Master Yan Er was a little unhappy... Is this old man blind? He was a master standing here, and he actually greeted the stewards first!
But before coming to pick up the goods this time, his family warned him again. He did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Today is the last time your workshop will ship goods to our nine major merchants. Naturally, we have to come earlier."< br>After hearing this, General Manager Yan really felt that he was talking too much nonsense. Seeing that Fourth Master Qu was about to speak, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Qin, if your family wants to buy someone under the death contract to open a secret recipe packaging workshop, it is best to leave soon. Go to Fucheng to buy people. "
He then explained: "This year, many families have had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated. The slaves of these confiscated families were brought to our Dongming Mansion. Several groups came, and they were all piled up in the tooth shop. One is cold and hungry Those who are sick, if you buy them now, you will be their savior. They will definitely be grateful and loyal to your family."
