Chapter 746 Buying Food

Knowing that Mr. Zhu and Bai Jiaxuan had returned to the original place, Zhou Qiang and the others also left.

Zhu Baishi and Xiancao ride in the carriage driven by Lu San.

Zhou Qiang took Lu Zilin's carriage.

Several people returned to the original place together.

Zhu Baishi confiscated the cartload of gifts for Mr. Zhu.

Although Zhu Baishi has no money, he has been living a hard life.But just don't want the gift from Governor Zhang.

Lu Zilin was greedy and wanted those gifts, but no one gave him them.

On the donkey cart.

"Xiaoqiang, let me ask you, last time at Widow Li's house, you won everything, did you play tricks?" Lu Zilin was still brooding about the loss last time.

"Brother Zilin, what nonsense are you talking about?
When we gambled, you played tricks with Sang Laoba and others, you thought I didn't know?

I just saw through your troubles and won everything. "

"Oh, this is it." Lu Zilin nodded, took a puff on his cigarette, and pondered for a while, "That's not right!

Xiaoqiang, when we gambled for the first time, we didn't make trouble. Why did you win? "

"Then I don't know. Anyway, all hands are good cards. It's hard not to win." The first time I gambled with Lu Zilin and others. At the beginning, Lu Zilin didn't make troubles, and Zhou Qiang didn't make troubles either. Winning was all about luck .

Later, when Lu Zilin made troubles, Zhou Qiang followed suit, and Zhou Qiang won.

Lu Zilin frowned and smoked a few more puffs of his pipe, "No way, Xiaoqiang, we have to play again.

This time, let's not play tricks, let's see if you can still win. "

Lu Zilin was not convinced by the loss, and wanted to try again.

"Brother Zilin, what if you lose this time?

Another fight?

Sang Lao's eight front teeth fell out last time, so you don't want your front teeth this time? "Zhou Qiang smiled when he spoke, showing his white teeth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who can't afford to lose? As long as you don't play tricks, you lose if you lose. That's your luck." Lu Zilin spoke sharply and spoke briskly.

"Brother Zilin, it's not that I underestimate you, can you still take out Dayang?" Zhou Qiang despised Lu Zilin for having no money.

"Who do you look down on? Look, what is this?" Lu Zilin still had a few dollars on him.

"So many oceans? Where did they come from?"

"You don't care about it. Tomorrow night, I'm still at Widow Li's house. If you play around again, I don't believe you can always win."

"Okay." Zhou Qiang agreed without hesitation, feeling happy in his heart, thinking, "Just as the family has been emptied, someone rushes to send money."

All the way without incident.

Zhou Qiang fell asleep when he got home.They traveled overnight.

After dawn.

Soon.

Village entrance.

A group of people were waiting for Bai Jiaxuan and Mr. Zhu.

Without Zhou Qiang, Zhou Qiang was busy grinding tofu.

Not long after, Mr. Zhu and Bai Jiaxuan came back.

"Jiaxuan!" Xiancao couldn't help but ran over.She let go of the heart she had been carrying all along.

There is a person behind Xiancao.

A crazy young man named Erdou.

Erdou quickly surpassed the grass jelly and ran away happily.

It can be seen that the fool Erdou is very happy.

Bai Jiaxuan also ran towards the grass jelly.

The two couldn't help hugging each other.

"Where is Jiaxuan hugging his wife?" Lu Zilin laughed at Bai Jiaxuan in the crowd.

Everyone was looking at Bai Jiaxuan and Xiancao, but Widow Li looked at Lu Zilin with a smile, not knowing what to think.

Zhu Baishi also stepped forward quickly, and when passing by Bai Jiaxuan and Xiancao, he reminded the two of them, "Take it easy, take it easy, you're still pregnant with a baby."

Zhu Baishi did not hug Mr. Zhu, but just talked.

Bai Jiaxuan and Xiancao each took out a pack of dim sum, which they were reluctant to eat and left for each other.

In the distance, Erdou shouted happily.

Bai Jiaxuan is back, and Erdou is very happy.

Er Dou is a bit silly.

Whoever treats him well, he smiles at whom.

Seeing Bai Jiaxuan back, Erdou was the happiest.It shows that Bai Jiaxuan is usually good to Erdou.

Bai Jiaxuan's treatment of the weak reflects the side of benevolence and righteousness.

This is much better than Lu Zilin.

This is why Bai Jiaxuan can be the patriarch, but Lu Zilin cannot.

night.

Widow Lee's house.

Lu Zilin and the others have already arrived.

Zhou Qiang did not come for a long time.

"Zilin, will Zhou Qiang come then?" Sang Lao's eight front teeth hadn't been repaired yet, and his words were a bit leaky.

"I said I'm coming, why haven't I come yet?" Lu Zilin was also a little anxious to wait.

"Zilin, are we really not going to cheat this time?" Another person asked.

"Stop playing around. Last time we were seen through by Zhou Qiang, and we lost. This time, it's all about luck. Let's see if we can win."

"Then what if we still lose?" Sang Laoba asked.

"If you still lose, it means that Zhou Qiang is lucky, and I won't play tricks with him in the future."

"Zilin, why don't we clean up Zhou Qiang this time?" Sang Laoba wanted revenge.He was beaten badly by Zhou Qiang last time.

"Do you still want to be beaten? How many teeth do you want to lose?" Lu Zilin had no good words.He likes to use his brain, not his hands.

"Let's lie in ambush here, hold Zhou Qiang down while it's dark, I don't believe he can still do it" Sang Laoba didn't finish his sentence.

"What else can I do?" Zhou Qiang answered the question and came in, "What's wrong? Is the skin itchy again? Or too many teeth?"

"Xiaoqiang, why are you here? Hurry up, come and sit down." Lu Zilin changed the topic.

"I ground the tofu just now, and I will change the tofu tomorrow."

"What are you grinding tofu for? Come on, I'll wait for you for a while."

"You want to send me money again?" Zhou Qiang started a bet with Lu Zilin and the others with a smile.

first.

Zhou Qiang won.

"Why did you win again?" Lu Zilin looked strange.

"I don't know either. It's a good card if you grab it. You can't win if you don't want to." Zhou Qiang smiled.It's just luck that he didn't do anything wrong.

"Let's switch places." Lu Zilin said.

Zhou Qiang looked indifferent: "Okay."

Then, in the second hand, Zhou Qiang won again.

"No, Xiaoqiang, are you playing tricks?" Lu Zilin looked suspicious.

"Brother Zilin, you can't talk nonsense. The place you chose, the card is also yours, why am I making trouble?"

Lu Zilin looked at Zhou Qiang suspiciously, and continued to gamble.

In the third round, Lu Zilin still lost.

He stared at Zhou Qiang carefully just now, but he didn't find anything wrong with Zhou Qiang.

"Brother Zilin, I can't help it. I was lucky and won again. Or let's forget about it today."

Lu Zilin frowned and remained silent.He lost several oceans.

This money was brought with me for emergency use when I was preparing to hide from the military disaster.

Several other people did not speak.

They all stared at Zhou Qiang without blinking their eyes just now, and they didn't find anything wrong.

Zhou Qiang's win can only be due to good luck.

Gambling with lucky people is not a pleasant thing, you just lose money.

"Forget it. If you gamble again, you will lose everything again, and you will have to be anxious!" Zhou Qiang casually left a word, turned around and left.

"You" Sang Laoba wanted to stop Zhou Qiang, but was stopped by others.

None of them wanted to gamble with Zhou Qiang anymore.Because you can only lose but not win.

In the following days, things returned to normal.

However, Zhou Qiang was even busier.

He will go to the provincial capital every few days to deliver wine and stewed meat.

Zhou Qiang opened a liquor shop in the provincial capital, which not only sells liquor, but also braised pork.

Zhou Qiang raised a lot of pigs and chickens. He made stewed pork and sent it to wine shops to sell.

It was a bad start, but not too bad.

I believe it will get better and better in the future, because the wine made by Zhou Qiang is not bad, and the stewed pork is very fragrant.

Zhou Qiang also has a shop.

This shop originally sold some mountain products.

Now, Zhou Qiang plans to sell some foreign goods.

Although several people were hired for these matters, Zhou Qiang still had a lot of things to do.

provincial capital.

A modest house.

Similar to a courtyard house.

But it's just a courtyard with one entry and one exit.

Zhou Qiang lives in the north wing.

Every time he came to the provincial capital, he would stay here for a night or two.

Eating braised pork, drinking wine, and listening to his subordinates report on their work.

"Boss, when will the foreign goods store open?" Lao Zhang asked.He is a disaster victim hired by Zhou Qiang.The upper part is old and the lower part is young.

Lao Zhang is very grateful to Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang gave Lao Zhang a way out.

"How are the foreign goods prepared?" Zhou Qiang asked casually while eating chicken wings.

"It's almost ready."

"Let's open it today." Zhou Qiang forgot to spit out the bones, chewed them up, and swallowed them.

"okay!"

Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Zhou Qiang's foreign goods store opened.

There are many onlookers and few people shopping.

However, Zhou Qiang believes that business will improve.

After all, it is a foreign product, everyone is rare, and when you save enough money, you will buy it sooner or later.

In future generations, don't many people still go abroad to snap up foreign goods?
Foreign goods have always been very popular.

This is a good business, and it can last for hundreds of years.

Not long.

this day.

Someone from White Deer Academy has arrived.

The ones who came were from the Northwest.

There is a message.

Fang Sheng is gone.

After Mr. Zhu heard it, he was silent for a long time.

He also sang the poem, "The morning rain in Weicheng makes the dust light"

At the beginning, he was in the Qing army camp.

Mr. Zhu agreed to teach in Fang Sheng's impoverished hometown.

Originally, Mr. Zhu was not in a hurry to go.

But now, Mr. Zhu had to go right away.

Village entrance.

Zhu Baishi, Bai Jiaxuan, Immortal Grass, Lu San, send off Mr. Zhu.

Zhou Qiang didn't come.

He has nothing to do with Mr. Zhu, so it's inappropriate to come.

And Zhou Qiang is not in the village, he is in the provincial capital, busy with business.

"I will see you off for thousands of miles, and I will have to say goodbye at the end. Let's all go back." Mr. Zhu set off with very simple luggage, just a small burden.

"Don't forget to write a letter to report your safety." Zhu Bai's face was full of reluctance.Only she can't follow along.It seems that in this day and age, you don't take your wife with you when you go out to teach.

"Remember." Mr. Zhu nodded with a smile. Although he was reluctant, he controlled his expression.

"Brother-in-law, are you really going away for five years?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.

"I promised Fang Sheng."

"Then Fang Sheng is dead." Bai Jiaxuan was also reluctant to leave Mr. Zhu.

"It's even more important to go when you're dead. Don't you think so, brother?"

Bai Jiaxuan nodded, his braids had already been cut, and Mr. Zhu did it.

Many people in the village had their braids cut.

The times have changed, urging everyone to change.

However, the first person to cut the braids in Bailu Village was Zhou Qiang.

Lu Zilin's braid hasn't been cut yet.

Those who didn't cut their braids in the village were mostly from the older generation.

"Brother-in-law, there is still this piece of Jingxin Fu tea left at home. Northwest has more meat and less vegetables, so let's drink it." Bai Jiaxuan handed Mr. Zhu a brick of tea.

Mr. Zhu took it with a nod, and looked at the few people with some reluctance, "Let's go, you guys go back."

Mr. Zhu strode away.

The days passed by.

Zhou Qiang's business is getting better and better.

The two shops in the provincial capital can earn dozens of dollars every month.

In fact, he can earn more, but Zhou Qiang's wine and stewed meat are limited, and they are sold out before noon every day.

Zhou Qiang was too lazy to do too much.

In a blink of an eye it was time to harvest the wheat.

Zhou Qiang was too busy, so he asked the villagers to help collect them.

The food is full, and there are wine, meat and tofu, and wages are also paid.

Everyone in the village praised Zhou Qiang for his ability.

Zhou Qiang is a boy and a half, and he is already very good at living like this.

It didn't take long after the wheat was harvested, and those who had rich food at home wanted to buy it for money.

this day.

Lu San came over and exchanged last year's stale beans for tofu.

"Xiaoqiang, our young master asked me to ask you, do you want to sell grain?" The grain sold in the village is usually combined, pulled several carts, and transported to the county town for sale.

"Selling food?" Zhou Qiang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Third brother, my family makes wine, so I don't sell food, so I still have to buy it."

"What? Do you want to buy food? Well, how much do you want to buy?"

"The price is the same as the price in the county.

Let's go, Third Brother, I'll go to Brother Jiaxuan to discuss it.

The grain in our village does not need to be transported to the county town for sale, I bought it all. " Zhou Qiang took Lu San to Bai Jiaxuan's house.

It was time for dinner, and Zhou Qiang wanted oily noodles made from grass jelly.

It's just that the grass jelly has a big belly, can it still be done?

Will the fairy grass mother-in-law Bai Zhao help?

"Buy them all? How can you buy them all if you need three large carts of grain?"

"Only three big carts? Not enough, third brother, I have to trouble you to go to a nearby village to ask, I plan to buy more food."

"What? Not enough three big cars?" Lu San returned to Bai's house with a look of surprise.

"Xiaoqiang? Why are you here? Want to sell food?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.

"Xiaoqiang is here?" Xiancao was cooking.

Zhou Qiang and Bai Jiaxuan nodded, looked at Xiancao: "Sister-in-law, what are you cooking?"

"Oil-splashed noodles, can you eat them too?"

"Okay, sister-in-law, you cut up this meat and drink it." Zhou Qiang didn't come empty-handed. He took a piece of pork, pig ears, and a small jar of wine.

The meat is cooked food, braised pork cooked by Zhou Qiang.

"Xiaoqiang, your marinated meat is delicious." Xiancao was not polite either.

"Xiaoqiang, do you want to buy food?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.When Zhou Qiang was talking to Xiancao, Lu San had already told Bai Jiaxuan that Zhou Qiang wanted to buy food.

"Yes, brother Jiaxuan, how many carts of grain will our village sell?"

"About three cars, you can buy them all?"

"Yes, three carts are not enough. I have a lot of food for brewing. I need to buy more while it's cheap."

"How much can you buy?"

"At least ten cars." Zhou Qiang said a number in a very flat manner.

"Ten cars?" Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San were both stunned.

They didn't expect Zhou Qiang to buy so much grain, how much would it cost? !

"Yes, my family is planning to dig a cellar for food storage.

Brother Jiaxuan, in our village, who is good at digging cellars? "

"Dig the cellar? The one at the east end of the village can dig it well, and there are others." Bai Jiaxuan mentioned a few people.

"Okay, I'll find them to dig later."

"Xiaoqiang, if you really want to buy so much grain, I'll ask the third brother to go to other villages to ask, and save them from transporting the grain to the county."

"Okay, I just want my third brother to ask."

"Then it's settled."

"deal."

"It's time to eat noodles!" Xiancao made oily noodles.

Wine, meat, noodles, a few people ate greasy.

Not long.

Zhou Qiang's cellar was dug.

Food was also bought back.

Zhou Qiang continued to be busy making wine, making tofu, and braised pork.

this day.

A message came back from the county seat.

In many villages that went to the city to sell grain, the grain was confiscated by soldiers.

In the peaceful Bailuyuan, there were waves again.
