Chapter 102: Kind words that don’t require money
Although they are everywhere in the city, you don’t have to pick them up yourself, which saves you some effort. You can also pick up more.
"Thank you, big brother."
"Brother, you are so kind."
"Brother, you are the most kind-hearted people we have ever met..."
Several people couldn't help but thank the insect catching team, throwing out nice words as if they were asking for no money.
Such a well-behaved and sensible appearance made the insect-catching team, who were too tired to talk to anyone, couldn't help but grin and tried to persuade them not to eat too many bugs.
"Yeah, we know, as long as we're not hungry." Bai Xiaocao responded obediently, and the others nodded in agreement.
The insect-catching team happily lifted the cart, several sacks on the cart rolled down, and then left.
"Big brother, sack..."
A member of the bug-catching team pushed the cart and carried the broom, walking much more briskly than before.
Hearing the voice behind him, one of them waved his hand: "It's all for you."
How much are these sacks worth? Anyway, the yamen bought a lot of them in order to catch insects. They usually threw them into the fire pit with the insects and burned them.
Otherwise, pouring the bugs out of the sack will waste a lot of time.
The waiter at a shop on the side of the street was cleaning bugs. When he saw this scene, he immediately shouted to Bai Xiaocao and the others.
"Hey, you guys, there are some here, do you want them?"
The city has stipulated that all bugs cleaned up from shops along the street must be sent to the south of the city to be burned, or burned in the backyard of the shop.
But there are so many bugs that if you take them to the backyard and burn them, you won’t be able to burn them.
Seeing Bai Xiaocao and the others asking for bugs from the bug-catching team, these shop waiters who wanted to avoid trouble got interested.
Naturally, Bai Xiaocao and others would not refuse, and nodded: "Yes, yes..."
As soon as they heard their request, the waiters hurriedly carried out the cleaned bugs.
"Come on, it's all for you."
It’s great that I don’t have to push myself to Chengnan today!
Bai Xiaocao and others thanked them while gathering the crayfish from these shops together, leaving two people to wait for the cart to come back, while the others went forward.
There are at least fifty or sixty shops on one street. When the waiter in the shop behind saw this scene, he was filled with envy.
With these few shops setting a precedent, the waiters in other shops will also imitate the same.
Although some people are wondering, after all there are so many bugs, can these little girls eat so many?
But I have seen other people picking up bugs before, so although I was puzzled, I didn't think too much about it and just decided to save myself trouble today.
A small shop can carry three or four sacks, and a large shop can carry six or seven.
After a street was collected, Guang Bai Xiaocao and the other girls brought back more than 300 sacks of crayfish.
When Baitao heard this, she was surprised and overjoyed: "Yes, yes, although they are not old, they are smart enough. This method is very good, it saves a lot of effort."
Even if there are a lot of crayfish, it takes time to pick them up.
Ancient sacks were not small. One sack could hold more than two hundred kilograms.
There are more than three hundred sacks. So many, they must be sold to the mall for money.
"They have made great achievements. When they come back later, I will give each of them a pair of clothes and a gift bag of snacks."
Nowadays, Baitao will be rewarded quickly if he has merit, either clothes or shoes and socks.
The children will be given extra gift packs of snacks, and the adults will give them to them depending on what they need.
Although the villagers will not take the initiative to ask for it, Baitao will observe it, and what he gives will always be something that can be used and will not be wasted.
"Auntie, we already have so many, do you want more?" Bai Dashan asked. Baitao: "Yes, why not?"
"Not only do we need it today, but we also need it tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, as many as we need."
After a pause, she raised her little finger at Bai Dashan.
Bai Dashan knew that every time his aunt had something to whisper, it would be like this.
Two or three of them hurried forward, bent down, and whispered: "Auntie, tell me."
"It can be exchanged for food." Baitao said in a low voice and gave Bai Dashan a look that you know.
When Bai Dashan heard this, his pupils shrank, suppressed his excitement, and whispered: "Auntie, don't worry, after dinner later, I will take the villagers to continue catching insects and crayfish."
There is also no curfew in Qingzhou now, so he happened to lead the villagers to pick up more at night.
"You don't have to be so tired." Baitao waved his hand: "After a long day's journey, everyone is exhausted."
"Auntie, we are not tired at all." Just joking, my aunt has given us a lot of great skills.
Everyone's baggage and belongings were either carried on the carriage or hung on the back of the horse. They only had to walk a little while on the road, but they were tired anyway.
Since these bugs, er, crayfish can be exchanged for food, you must hurry up and pick up more.
This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing will be struck by lightning if it is any slower.
What if it suddenly disappears?
After all, if so many appear suddenly, they may also suddenly retreat!
Seeing this, Baitao didn't stop her and said, "Don't pick it up too late." There were so many crayfish, and she didn't intend to let the villagers pick them all.
To sell to the mall, there are only more than 200 people, which is too inefficient.
Bai Dashan quickly conveyed Baitao's meaning to the villagers: "My aunt said, the more the merrier, as much as you have."
When the villagers heard this, they felt reassured.
Seeing the clever actions of Bai Xiaocao and the other girls, they also started to imitate them.
When I went to the place where I was picking it up, the owner of a shop asked the people in the shop for it in a friendly manner, saying that it saved the people in the shop the trouble of transporting it to the south of the city.
Villagers who go to residential areas to catch them will ask for them from some families.
Especially some wealthy families, whose homes occupy a large area and have more crayfish, hate the existence of these crayfish because of their self-esteem.
As soon as the servants of wealthy families in Qingzhou heard that someone was helping to clean up the bugs, they carried out the bugs that had not had time to be sent to the south of the city to be burned this afternoon without saying a word.
"Here, take these bugs away quickly."
"Let me tell you, the bugs are all given to you. If you don't have so many, you have to get rid of them all. If you throw them away halfway and are found by the officials, we will not let you go!"
The people in Peach Blossom Village quickly agreed.
"Definitely."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
"Of course, of course."
"No, no!"
Bai Duoxi led a dozen people to work for a while.
Half an hour later, the villagers who went out to pick up crayfish came back one after another, and a large pot of crayfish was also released.
In an instant, the fragrance filled the yard and floated out of the yard, causing many pedestrians passing by the inn where Taohua Village lived to stop and sniff their noses.
