It would be a long night and many dreams, so we decided to go the next day.

This time we set off earlier than usual, before it got dark. We held a torch to light the way at first, but we put away the torch when the sky got brighter as we went further.

He waited outside the city gate before it opened, and entered the city as soon as it opened, without wasting any time.

When they entered the city, they did not dare to delay at all. Just like last time, Fan Jin, Ding Heli, and Hong Mancang and others were waiting for the medicinal materials to be weighed at the drug store. Hu Wenhua took the men from Shanshui Village to sell rabbits in the back kitchens of various large households.

The more the group sold, the more frightened they became.

Four wealthy families who bought their rabbits were robbed by bandits!

In one of the small households, only one daughter, who was raised in a rural village, was not poisoned, and no one in the house ran out!

"There was a lot of crying and begging inside at night, but who dared to open the door? We also have a family of young and old."

"The wails and screams lasted most of the night. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. I kept my eyes open until dawn. Only when there was no movement in the morning did I dare to go out."

Boss Wu couldn't bear to hear this and asked repeatedly: "Don't you have anyone to report to the official? This is a provincial capital after all!"

"How could we not report it to the official? Earlier, those who were robbed reported it to the official, but Magistrate Wu kept saying that there was not enough manpower, and the government officials drank wine every day and refused to come out."

"After all, these families are just affluent, not to the point where the rich and powerful often give money to the government officials. Those government officials are too late to protect those wealthy families, so how can they have time to care about their life and death? If the rich families are like this, we can only pray more. What a blessing.”

"Besides, you don't know that there are so many gangsters, there may be hundreds of them! Who can deal with these many people? Whichever family is targeted will only die."

The men were silent for a while. Before they came, they had thought that the rabbits would not be sold. It was simply because these people had cut back on their expenses and stopped buying them. They never thought that the rabbits were gone.

Or the whole family is gone.

The other three families are not much better than this one. I heard from the people living next door that they are dead and crippled, and their belongings are gone. Fortunately, a rich man can live by sweeping in the cracks of the bricks for three years. After being rescued by relatives and friends, the person was diagnosed and treated in a hospital, but he didn't know how to live his life in the future.

"Let me tell you, the King of Wild Goose in the north has rebelled. Otherwise, according to this situation, the wealthy families in our city will not be able to go all the way north to avoid disaster;

However, if King Yan in the north had not rebelled and the imperial court had used all its forces to suppress King Yan, our city would not have been in such chaos.

But no matter what, I'm afraid your rabbits won't be sold, and people are so scared that no one will be willing to eat them. "

Hu Wenhua and others thanked the neighbor who had been inquired about profusely. After they walked out, the whole team was lifeless.

If the rabbits can't be sold, they won't get any money. If they don't get the money, they won't be able to buy the many New Year's goods agreed upon yesterday.

After all, a rabbit can be sold for more than 100 Wen. This more than 100 Wen can buy more than ten or twenty kilograms of black noodles or one or two kilograms of cheap candy.

This time, they had been separated for the longest time, and they thought they wouldn't come for the New Year for a long time. The men in each family brought as much as possible, hoping to bring home more New Year's goods.

Yesterday, the family was so excited that they couldn't sleep. They packed up the rabbit before dawn, held a torch and braved the cold wind and walked for more than an hour to Fucheng. Now they have to take it back intact?

"After more than thirty visits, we only sold seven or eight rabbits. What should we do?" Li Wen inserted his rough palms into his hair and sighed helplessly.

In the past, it was very easy to sell, basically selling as much as they had, and those people even asked them to deliver it to their home first next time, but today many of them are no longer there.

Before coming, Guifen also asked him to bring more candy balls home. If the rabbits cannot be sold, the candy balls will have to be cut down compared with other necessities.

The other men's families were even less wealthy, and several families were completely waiting for the money from selling rabbits to spend on New Year's goods. They lowered their heads and pursed their lips tightly in silence, their eyes full of despair.

What can be done? The world is not good. It is normal that rabbits cannot be sold. What can be done?

Hu Wenhua looked into the distance, with no trace of despair in his eyes, "Then I asked, the land we just went to was full of rich families, and none of the big families in the back went there!"

"Yes, we always buy more from wealthy families!" Fan Xiaoliu couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere in the team and responded with a loud voice.

"But except for the four families that were involved in the accident, the other two dozen or so wealthy households either don't buy them or just buy them one by one, saying that they can be pickled and eaten during the Chinese New Year to suit the occasion. We still have more than a hundred rabbits. How can we just rely on those few companies?" Boss Wu said no, but he still stood up from his squatting position in the corner.

Regardless of whether it works or not, I still have to give it a try. If I can sell one, I’ll do it!

If you sell one more, you will get more than 100 yuan.

The other men followed silently in frustration.

Among the whole team, only Hu Wenhua was in high spirits and his generous back was straight.

It’s not because he doesn’t lack money, in fact he lacks it even more! He wanted to use the money he earned to buy a New Year gift for everyone in his family.

Just because he knew that big families would definitely buy it later, and they would buy more than before.

The men in the village believe that the world is unstable and everyone is frugal in food and clothing, so no one will buy rabbits that are expensive as meat. The people in their village think so, and so do the wealthy households in front of them, which confirms their thinking.

But his sister told him that when the world is bad, the poor will get poorer and the rich will get richer. The group in the middle will either become poor or become rich. Those originally wealthy families may not be able to read antique calligraphy and paintings. Spending a lot of money as usual, but the cost of food will increase.

Because people with abundant money have nothing else to spend money on, so they will eat the rest!

Moreover, eating can make people happy, and eating well can eliminate all unhappiness and uneasiness. Masters and ladies from wealthy families are not short of this little money, and they will only be more willing to give it up...

Hu Wenhua's guess was confirmed as soon as he knocked on the kitchen side door of the mansion, which occupied more than half of the street.

He thought happily, not that his guess was accurate, but that his sister was right!

The fat steward heard a familiar voice from the door, quickly opened the door and walked out, smiling and saying: "Hey, you're finally here!

My master has asked many times, your rabbit meat is tender and fat, and it will last forever when roasted. Those hares are incomparable. I only want to eat your rabbits. Please tell me, how many are left this time? "

Everyone including Li Wen, Wu, Xu Laosan and others were overjoyed and wished they could come forward immediately to reply. There were more than one hundred and nearly two hundred of them!

However, thinking that it was Hu Wenhua who always took the initiative when discussing business, he just stood back excitedly and couldn't help rubbing his hands nervously.

"Manager Li, I think your master likes to eat it, so I will send it here as early as possible while it is freshest. There will be more, but there are Wang Yuanwai and Mr. Zhao who haven't sent it yet. I'm afraid it won't be enough... Forget it, let’s forget about it for now. How many do you want? I’ll stick with you first!”
