Chapter 262 Go to Fucheng

Huang Laoer specially warned Huang Duogui and his wife: "You two should be more honest. If you dare to cause trouble again, the leader of this clan will banish you from the clan today!"

Then he said to the Huang family: "If you don't want to be implicated by them, then keep an eye on them together."

Being implicated meant that they had to sacrifice their own interests. The Huang family immediately glared at Huang Duogui and his wife: "Be honest, if you dare to anger the Qin family and create trouble for the Huang family, we will break your legs and drive you away." Get 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.

This is the cheapest.

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 It’s a gift from the leather shop owner. It’s free of charge. If you’re embarrassed, just give me a couple of silver.”

Worried that Jiang Dalang would bow his head in front of the Jia family, 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.

Jiang Dalang nodded: "As long as you are measured."

Jiang Dalang said coldly: "It's still a disaster year, and there's still war in the south. I can only get this price with the help of the Jia family. I'd like to thank you."

"Okay." Qin Xiaomi accepted it readily, turned around and gave the box to Grandma Qin.

Jia Xiang also straightened his face and said seriously: "I know... before taking action, you must first think about the consequences. I have already thought about it, so I just beat them down."

And the new cotton... they really can't afford it.

Jia Xiang kept talking, very excited, and said: "Don't worry, they are not disabled, they will be cured in half a month."

Huang Duogui’s family was the stingiest and shouted: “My family wants fifty kilograms of arrowroot powder!”

Then he solemnly said: "If you are careless, you will have to bear the consequences."

The villagers exclaimed: "New rice and new noodles are so expensive? They have even caught up with the price of fat meat!"

He asked again: "What do you want to buy? Come and register. If you don't want to buy anything, go home. It's cold and we are very busy. We don't have much time for you."

"Grandpa, your leather cutting skills are really amazing." Qin Xiaomi looked at Grandpa Qin in surprise, not expecting that the old man also had the skills to make leather boots.

Seeing how busy she was, Qin Xiaomi wanted to persuade her, but held it back.

"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. He quickly said to Qin Xiaomi: "Hurry up and measure your feet. Don't wait. Your grandma will measure it for you.”

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 amount, and cannot buy more."

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.

The family worked for an hour, cutting all the leather needed for the boots, and then went to wash and go to bed.

"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 felt more at ease looking at the food in the house.

And he can't do anything to maim others, even if those people always bully him.

"I know, let's measure it." Qin Xiaomi took a small rope and measured the size of her own feet, and then went to measure several little ones. The whole family was very excited, after all, not everyone can wear leather boots.

……

After Jiang Dalang heard this, he felt a little more satisfied with Jia Xiang.

"Thank you." Jiang Dalang accepted his kindness. After all, brothers can't get along if they are too pretentious. He said again: "Let's go, I'll clean up the house for you. Let's stay in the guest house together tonight... The workshop will make a secret recipe." Bao, it’s not easy to bring outsiders in.”

Jia Xiang didn't care about this and said with a smile: "I know all the rules of the workshop, and it would be great if I could live in the west of the village for one night... By the way, I used the diagram of the human body's vital points you taught me and successfully defeated those bastards. , they were beaten badly by me, and they still believed that I was not the one who beat them down. They said that the Jia family hired powerful martial arts masters to attack them from a distance. "

Before dinner, Jiang Dalang gave the box to Qin Xiaomi and said, "It's the needle and thread specially used to sew leather boots... It's free. It's considered as my family's hard work in making leather boots for my sister-in-law and Grandma Qin."

Grandpa Qin took Jiang Dalang to greet him personally: "Everyone in charge, you are here so early."

Xue Dongjia, Huang Yanglong, Xiaobai and others also came, a huge group of people, which was quite spectacular and attracted the attention of eight villages in ten miles.

He also asked Jiang Dalang to quote the price of rice, flour, cotton and other items.

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.

"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.

Eighty percent of the things in the house have been gone, leaving only a few hundred kilograms of new rice and noodles, and more than a hundred kilograms of new cotton.

Someone named Chai Zhang Hu Qian said again: "Village chief, in addition to food, each of our families also needs ten pounds of old cotton!"

……

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.

Ten pounds of cotton is definitely not enough, but the Jia family brought limited things, and they couldn't buy them all.

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 new noodles cost thirty-three cents per catty; old rice and millet cost twenty-five cents." Money is a pound; soybeans are worth nine cents a pound; arrowroot powder is worth seven dollars a pound."

After hearing this, the villagers trembled, not daring to waste his time, and hurriedly reported the items they wanted to buy and the number of pounds.

That night, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and Aunt Qin began to cut leather and prepare to make leather boots.

The next day, at 6 o'clock in the morning, the convoy of nine merchants arrived at the ghost village.

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."

Young Master Yan 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."

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 for Fucheng soon. Buy people.”

He also explained: "This year, many families have had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated. The slaves of these confiscated houses were brought to our Dongming Mansion. Several groups came and they were all piled up in the tooth row. They were all cold, hungry and... Sick people, if you buy them now, you will be considered their lifesavers, and they will definitely be grateful and loyal to your family."
