Chapter 143 Buying Bricks 1 update

Hu Yingjie is the eldest grandson of the head of Hu Village. Although he has rarely walked around in recent years, he has not forgotten what he should know. He really knows who is making brick kilns nearby and who is making good bricks at a fair price. When he saw Xu Huaiyi and asked Sincere and polite, he gave me the name of the place.

It's just that the expression is a little weird.

Xu Huaiyi didn't know why he was weird. For a big-hearted person, that's the only advantage. If you don't know, just jump over. He's not that curious.

However, I still had to ask clearly about other things that should be asked, so I followed him enthusiastically and asked about many things. I even asked about which temple's monks chanted sutras effectively and spent less money, but I didn't ask about five years. The previous plague caused Hutian Village to almost be wiped out.

Hu Yingjie had already thought of words to respond, but unexpectedly, he didn't use any of them. After thinking about it all the way, he couldn't come up with a reason. After returning home, he reported to his grandfather exactly what happened in the morning when he went out to do errands. Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, why don't you ask? Is it because he hasn't heard about it yet?"

Village Chief Hu pondered, "No, these victims were able to leave their homes and flee early before the disaster got out of control. This shows that they not only have vision and insight, but also courage and courage. More importantly, they also had a smooth journey. They arrived in the capital smoothly. You can see that their clothes are a bit shabby, but their spirits and complexions don't look like they have suffered. The most commendable thing is that their food and belongings are all there..."

Having said this, he paused, and a light flashed through his cloudy eyes, "There are capable people in Xu's village. How could such a person not be asked clearly before being assigned to our village? When they came yesterday, , seeing so many empty houses in our village, there was no trace of surprise or surprise on their faces, it was obvious that they had already inquired about them."

Hu Yingjie was not stupid. He reacted as soon as he mentioned it, and his cold eyebrows suddenly deepened, "Then they didn't ask...because they avoid taboos?"

Village Chief Hu sighed complicatedly, "Maybe, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. The young man named Xu Huaiyi is not simple. When you come into contact with him in the future, be more thoughtful and don't be fooled."

"Yes, grandfather."

At this moment, Xu Huaiyi, who was considered not easy, was buying blue bricks. The brick kiln Hu Yingjie recommended to him was quite reliable, with fair prices and good quality. He made an estimate and made an appointment with the manager of the brick kiln. I paid a deposit first and settled the rest after the bricks were delivered to my home.

The other party was quite enthusiastic at first. How could he not welcome the lucrative business? But after the negotiation was completed, it was time to load the car. When I asked if it was going to Hutian Village, his face changed.

The steward looked at him as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

There’s no need to be so exaggerated, right?

The manager of the brick kiln boldly asked again, "Where did this little brother just say... send him?"

Xu Huaiyi repeated in a clear tone, "Hutian Village."

The brick kiln manager's eyelids twitched and he laughed dryly, "Haha, Hutian Village, that place is really... haha, I haven't been there for many years, and I'm not familiar with the roads."

The implication is that I don’t want to make any more money.

At this moment, Xu Huaiyi finally realized how deeply the people were afraid of Hutian Village. He said carelessly, "It's easy to tell if the road is unfamiliar. I know it. I'll be in front when the car is loaded. If you follow, you won't be able to leave." wrong……"

Brick kiln manager, "..."

Why can't you understand rejection? Too tactful?

His eyes were so straightforward that Xu Huaiyi was amused. He pointed at himself, as well as Meng Erzhu and Gao Qiang who had accompanied him, and pointed out our identities with a smile, "We are all victims of the disaster. We fled from Qingzhou and just moved to Lake yesterday." Tamura, you don’t understand anything, your eyes darkened, the officer in the yamen told us to assign us there, so we have no choice but to go there.”

The manager of the brick kiln suddenly realized, "No wonder..."

No wonder they came to buy bricks. Those people in Hutian Village had not been out and about for many years. Otherwise, he would have been shocked when he heard it just now.

Xu Huaiyi knew what he was curious about, so he continued, "It's hard for us to inquire about the past of Hutian Village, but since we were assigned there, we have to live, right? Fortunately, there are many empty houses in the village, so that we don't have to sleep in the open again. It’s a wilderness, okay? I have a place to go after all, don’t you think?”

The manager of the brick kiln nodded subconsciously. Well, no matter how bad Hutian Village is, it is still a place to stay. Otherwise, wouldn't he be a refugee? His eyes flickered, "What, you all slept in those vacant houses last night?"

Xu Huaiyi looked magnanimous, "Yes, we all bought it. The house is not expensive, and it is well kept. It just needs a little tidying up. Speaking of which, it really saves a lot of effort."

The manager of the brick kiln continued to inquire curiously, with a mysterious tone, "Did you all sleep well? Did you hear any strange noises at night?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "No, there was no movement at all. We all slept until dawn."

What he said was really not a lie. He went to go through the transfer procedures with the villagers in the morning. They all got together to chat and talked about this matter. Apart from being a little scared at the beginning, when he couldn't get through it, he fell asleep without even dreaming. Make one and sleep better.

The manager of the brick kiln was dubious, "Really?"

Xu Huaiyi patted his chest decisively and said, "It's absolutely true. Besides, look at the faces of our brothers, it looks like they haven't slept well?"

That's really not the case. She's more energetic than him. The manager of the brick kiln muttered in confusion, "Then why does everyone say that there are dirty things in Hutian Village, and they come out and run around at night?"

Xu Huaiyi did not accept this and said instead, "If you are really worried, then let's do this. You can deliver the bricks to the entrance of the village and we will move them home ourselves. The money will be the same as what we just talked about. What do you think?"

Speaking of this, the manager of the brick kiln felt embarrassed, "How do you do it? One yard is one yard. Our brick kiln doesn't look small, but we never do things like bullying customers. We set the rules when we built the kiln. The goods are coming to your doorstep, so it doesn’t count if they can reach you?”

When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and thanked him.

The other party said a few polite words and urged the people below to hurry up and load the car.

After driving the mule cart on the road, Gao Zhuangcai said in a low voice, "Huaiyi, it seems that the people in these eight neighboring villages have deep prejudices against Hutian Village. If we go out to do things in the future, won't we be disliked by others?"

Xu Huaiyi said nonchalantly, "It's okay. One day, people will have a different impression of Hutian Village. It depends on what we say and do. Wasn't just an example?"

Hearing this, Gao Zhuang began to think thoughtfully. After a moment, he asked with bright eyes, "Huaiyi, do you have any good ideas? Come on, tell me, and we will have fun too."
