The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad
Chapter 23 Trump Card
"No, you need to. There are more than 30 mouths waiting for food and drink in the orphanage in the north of the city. Winter is coming soon, and they need thick clothes to keep warm. Just relying on this small tavern? I'm afraid we can't afford it." Jiang Muxia expressed his pain in just a few words.
Xu Da's eyes grew darker and he stopped fiddling with his hands. Who was this girl?
"Boss Xu, there is no need to think too much. This is a good deed and there is no need to hide it. What I asked you for is not a bad thing. You helped me and I helped you. We are mutually beneficial and kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it?" Jiang Muxia made her attitude clear. She only wanted money and didn't ask about anything else.
"Why did you find me?" Xu Da was puzzled.
"I've said it before, because you're a kind person. As long as it's not illegal, you'll lend a hand. Besides, I believe there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future." She was confident.
Xu Da raised the corners of his lips and sneered, "You are so confident. Tell me, what is it that you want?"
"It's very simple. You just need to buy three acres of wasteland around the jujube tree on the southern foot of the northern hill of Xigang Village, build a yard, and find a few reliable people."
Xu Da frowned, puzzled, "Why?"
Jiang Muxia smiled, "Because the answer is in the fenced yard. Have you heard of a major event that happened in Suanzao County a hundred years ago?"
Xu Da frowned in thought, looking at her meaningfully, "Are you talking about the massacre in Suanzao County?"
"Yes, this incident really happened, and the location is today's Beiyangang." She fell into her memories and slowly told what she heard from the old people in the village. "Back then, everyone in the village had their own plans and secretly committed crimes, robbing people for money and killing people. Even the government couldn't do anything about them."
Maybe they live too peacefully and feel that no one in the world can do anything to them.
Until a certain day.
When a group of people were chatting together, someone mentioned that there was a lady in the palace of the emperor at that time, whose feet were as small as a small lotus flower, very petite and cute. This lady relied on her small feet to be the most favored in the harem.
Everyone was talking at once, imagining what such small feet would look like, and expressing envy.
One of them laughed loudly and said, "That's not difficult. I will go to the palace tonight and bring back the bound feet for you to admire. Please wait for me." After he finished speaking, he disappeared.
This man traveled thousands of miles at night, and walked back and forth between the capital and the village in one night.
Sure enough, at dawn, the empress's feet were retrieved.
If he had quietly shown off in his own village, nothing would have happened. But he showed off everywhere until everyone in Suanzao County knew about it.
The magistrate of Suanzao County learned about this and reported it to the court.
This is also the beginning of the disaster.
How could the emperor allow a petty thief to trample upon the dignity of the royal family?
He sent a general from the court to lead the troops to surround Xigang Village like an iron barrel.
In the entire Xiyan Village, no one was left alive except those who had heard the news and escaped early.
It is said that before escaping, the villagers threw all the ill-gotten gains, jewelry, gold and silver that each household had obtained into a well in Beiyangang.
Many people in later generations came to look for this legendary well.
But it disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
This village was silent for more than a hundred years. After the change of dynasties, refugees fleeing famine gradually came here to settle down.
After nearly a hundred years of development, the two large villages of Donggang and Xigang, which are still quite prosperous today, have finally been formed.
"Of course I've heard of the legend, but I know that people have searched for it many times and never found any trace of it. You? Why?" Xu Da became interested in her. This little girl was interesting.
"It's enough that I can make you find it. After the job is done, we'll split it 70% and 30%." Jiang Muxia didn't allow him to refute. "I know you don't believe me, but I have another exchange condition. Next spring plowing, I will give you a few species you've never seen before, which can also make us earn a lot of money. The only condition is that you have to believe me. I won't come to you for no reason and say some empty words that I can't fulfill."
Seeing the disbelief in his eyes, Jiang Muxia thought he was treating her as a liar. She softened her tone and began to beg. She needed his help so much.
"Let's take a step back and say that you can also get a piece of land. Whether you plant it or rent it out, it is a sure-win business.
Xu Da shook his sleeves, his eyes stern, "Little girl, you said so much. It seems that I am the only one who contributed effort and money. What did you do?"
"I came up with an idea. If you make a profit, you'll get the lion's share, so you won't lose anything."
"Okay. But I also have a request."
"You go ahead." Jiang Muxia relaxed. He probably agreed.
"You have to work in my tavern without pay. Once this matter is settled, we can discuss whether you can stay or leave."
He wanted to take her as a hostage. If it worked, everyone would be happy. If it didn't work, he would keep her to work to pay for the money he paid.
He is indeed a man who never suffers any loss.
"I do." She wanted nothing more than to do so. She was also thinking of using the ferry to do some small business, and this period of time was a good opportunity for her to check out the status of the ferry.
This proposal was exactly what she wanted.
"Okay, go home and pack up today and come over tomorrow morning. I will arrange this matter before winter." The doubts in Xu Da's eyes did not disappear because he agreed to this matter, but became deeper.
When they returned to the ox cart, Li Jiru and his brother were already waiting.
"Sister, you are lucky today. You bought two big carps and a small basket of white stripes. Go back and coat them with batter and fry them." The little brother Li Jiyi is keen on tinkering with food. With the same ingredients, the food he cooks will taste better than others.
"Okay, let's go home." Jiang Muxia smiled like a flower. She had already made a plan in her mind. She must pull him over to work with her.
"Brother Jiyi, do you have anything to do in the next two days?"
"The workshop has stopped, so I just cook at home. What's wrong?"
"It's like this. When I was buying wine just now, I learned that they were hiring, so I asked casually. I didn't expect the shopkeeper to agree. How about you come with me?" She lied to trick him over first.
"It's not that I can't, but will they want me?" Li Jiyi asked.
"You want it, right? Let's come over and take a look tomorrow." There was no payment anyway, and it was free labor. With Xu Da's unwillingness to suffer a loss, how could he refuse it?
The three men drove the ox cart slowly forward. It was almost noon and the sun was a little hot on their bodies, and they were sweating slightly.
"Brother, why don't you speed up? I'm hungry."
The two brothers sitting on both sides of the shaft agreed, raised their whips and whipped them beautifully in the air, "Gee, gee."
They avoided the crowded West Street and went around to East Street.
East Street is mostly occupied by cloth shops, jewelry shops, and food shops. Compared with West Street, there are more shops here. There are not many people on the street, and oxcarts can pass smoothly.
Jiang Muxia looked around while sitting on the ox cart. It felt so familiar. The scene before him was exactly the same as in his previous life.
Suddenly she saw some familiar figures in front of a shop.
