Farmhouse is so old

"Here is your fifty cash, keep it." Zhou Chuan took out a string of copper plates from the basket, counted out fifty cash from it, and handed it to the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man watched Zhou Chuan count the copper coins, his heart tightened, and he looked at him without blinking, for fear that Zhou Chuan would miss one for himself. After counting to make sure it was correct, I left with a thousand thanks.

"The town is better than the countryside. Seeing so many people, I'm afraid they will be busy until evening." Zhou Qing wiped himself and Tang Qing with a handkerchief, and said.

It didn't take long for him and Tang Qing to move in. There were more and more people, and it was hot and stuffy here.

Tang Qing moved a stool for Zhou Qing, brought some tea over and said, "Let's take a break, it's not too late, pile them up at the door, and move in together later when no one else is around."

Now people have blocked the entrance of the town, and those who leave the town and those who enter the town are curious to come and have a look, making the entrance of the town tightly surrounded and crowded with people.

After knowing what was going on, many of them went home one after another. While it was still early, they went back to dig more wild vegetables, or picked up some fungi to exchange for money when they were in a hurry next time.

When the hunters heard the news, they couldn't help being overjoyed. They hunted all year round and could only occasionally sell it in the town. The rich family had strong men and guards in their homes, so it was a piece of cake for them to hunt.Occasionally, there are one or two families, please ask them to hunt some small game to have a business. Other times, they can only sell it by themselves, and the price is not fixed. It is pure luck to sell more or less.

Some people have good craftsmanship, and if they catch a rare object, they can eat it for a year. Therefore, even if hunting is a desperate effort, there are still many people who become hunters, but few are lucky, and most of them can only hunt. I found some small things that couldn't be sold, and put them at home to make chicken bacon and so on.

As soon as I heard the news, I hurried back to get it and exchanged it for silver. Summer and autumn are the best hunting seasons, and sometimes I can’t sell them, so I dare not hunt more, for fear of spoilage.If this is a long-term income, they will have a stable source of shipments, and they will not be afraid to fight more.

"Boss Zhang, you are really a good person." At this time, someone had already received the money and bowed to thank Zhang Xing. His clothes were torn, and he seemed to be from a poor family.

Zhang Xing nodded slightly. He was already numb to this kind of gratitude. When he was in the village, many people came to the house to express it.

For Tang Qing and the others, this was a business. The more people who came, the more money they made. But for some poor families, this was a chance to survive.

Li Wen is a boy who is less than ten years old. His parents are dead, and his grandma is cruel. He doesn't like their family, so he and his six-year-old brother Li Jun are kicked out of the house. They took in the two brothers.

In order to survive, Li Wen had no choice but to become a beggar, usually begging in every corner of the town.

He was also lucky this time. When he was begging, he happened to be not far from Tang Qing's shop. Hearing that this was a shop that collected mountain goods, Li Wen was stunned.

These things are everywhere on the mountain, if you want to dig it, you can collect it and sell it to someone, and who will want it.But when he saw more and more people, he thought it might be true, and immediately packed up his broken bowl and went home.

His home was at the foot of a hill not far from their village. There used to be a dilapidated hut here, half of which had collapsed, but the remaining half could accommodate him and his younger brother.

"Xiaojun." As soon as Li Wen got home, he called his younger brother around. Although his younger brother was young, he was very sensible. Every time he went out to beg, he would look for wild vegetables around the dilapidated house.

Hearing his brother's voice, Li Jun rushed out and said, "Brother, I'm here."

"Brother, you came back so early today, did you ask for something good?" Li Jun was a little greedy when he thought of the half chicken that his brother got for last time. Early, this time he also thought so.

After Li Wen saw where his younger brother was, he walked over and said, "No, I didn't get anything today, but I heard a way to make money."

Li Junben was a little disappointed, but he was pleasantly surprised when he heard the way to make money, and he yelled: "What is the way to make money."

"How many wild vegetables do we have at home? Take them out quickly, and someone in the town will collect them." Li Wen looked anxiously at the sky, he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the town after dark.

"My brother is here, and I picked up a lot of fungi and put them here." Li Jun took Li Wen to a corner, and the corner was covered with straw, and a lot of wild vegetables and fungi were spread on the straw. kind.

"Xiaojun, it's a good job and I'll buy you candied haws when I earn money." Li Wen was very excited. Seeing that there were still a lot, he found two relatively clean clothes and tied the openings with straw rope, and put the wild vegetables in a knot. It's all inside.

Looking at the remaining fungus, I found another piece of Li Jun's cleanest clothes, wrapped it up, and took Li Jun to the town together.

Li Jun doesn't understand why these can be exchanged for money, but he knows that with money, he can buy many good things.

When they arrived in the town, there was still a long queue. Li Wen and Li Jun stood inconspicuously in the crowd. They looked at themselves and his younger brother in tatters and dirt, and felt very scared. What not to do.

Finally, it was my turn to be frightened. A very good-looking lady, wearing a light green dress, was smiling at him, and Li Wen felt even more nervous.

"Put it aside and weigh it first." Zhou Su looked at the two little guys. Although they were dirty, the clothes used to pack them were clean. Check the wild vegetables inside, and they were all good. Clean, which means there is no problem.

"Twenty catties of wild vegetables, and almost four catties of fungus. Counting you four catties, the total is 220 Wen. You can get the money there." After writing it down in the account book, Zhou Su pointed to Zhou Chuan and said.

"Thank you, thank you." Li Wen saw that he had really accepted his things, and kept thanking him.

Zhou Su smiled indifferently and said softly, "Remember to take your clothes back later."

Li Wen's face turned red, he lowered his head and dared not look at Zhou Su, his palms were sweating, he went to the side to collect his wages, and took his clothes away.

After looking at it for a while, he took his younger brother and left, deciding to buy two cloth bags. Next time, he must wash them clean before coming back, so that she will not know himself, and it will not be like this Embarrassed.

Li Wen took his younger brother to buy two cloth bags, some rice, and the candied haws he promised to buy for his younger brother, and there were more than 100 Wen left in his hand.

With the money in hand, Li Wen felt confident, and he no longer needed to beg and look at other people's faces to get by. As long as he and his younger brother worked harder, they could live on.

Today, the bosses in the town are all happy, there are a lot of people coming to buy things all of a sudden, and there are still people around until the afternoon Shenshi. In the past, it is almost time to close at this time. When the business is good, I am happy in my heart.

After a busy day, no one came until the town gate was about to close in the evening.Tang Qing felt a little headache when he saw the messy pile of things in the room.

"No, we have to ask a few people to come over and help sort them out. Look at these mushrooms, they are all mixed up." Tang Qing pointed to a corner of the room and said.

The things in the basket are too messy, there are everything, if they are sold, they will look too ugly, what's more, if they are classified well, each item can be sold at different prices, which is undoubtedly a lot of money.

"I have someone to choose." Zhou Su thought for a while and said, "I saw two children today. The older one often begs by our house, and the younger one has never been seen before. It seems to be his younger brother. I see them It's not easy, and it won't be too tiring to recruit to do this job."

"Okay, next time you can ask if they are willing." Tang Qing nodded in agreement. Now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, so don't pay too much attention.

"Brother, someone is looking for you outside." Zhou He walked in and said to Tang Qing.

Tang Qing was quite puzzled. If anyone in this town came to him, he could just ask Zhang Xing for selling wild vegetables. He was responsible for all this, and he was here to help today.As soon as I saw Liu Shikang when I went out, I remembered that there was one more thing I hadn't done.

"Brother Qing, I haven't seen you for several days. You don't know why you will call me when you open today, so that I can bring my brothers over to support you." Liu Shikang held Tang Qing's hand very affectionately when he saw Tang Qing.

Tang Qing smiled, but didn't answer his words. If a few yamen servants really come, can he continue his business? Didn't he see that there was no one at the gate of the yamen? Isn't it because he was afraid that Huangyou would be arrested and arranged for a crime? You have to be fined a lot of silver.

If they stop here, will others dare to come forward?It's too late to go far.What's more, he didn't come to him for this matter, it was just a scene.

Liu Shikang took Tang Qing into a remote corner, looked around and asked in a low voice, "Did you think of a solution to that matter? The Sun family was about to jump over the wall, and the county magistrate couldn't stand it and changed another batch for him."

As Liu Shikang said, he paced back and forth anxiously, rubbing his hands together, frowning so hard that the sky was about to step down, and said:

"Sure enough, as expected by the county magistrate, I received an urgent bulletin from above this morning. Lincheng couldn't stand it anymore, and asked for support from the surrounding county offices. The entire county office will be covered in dark clouds."

Tang Qing felt relieved after hearing this, and now is the time to wait.Pretending to be embarrassed, he rubbed his brows and said, "I do have a friend who has a lot of food at home, but he has a weird temper. If I ask him for help, he will definitely borrow food from me, but... ..."

"Just what, you said it." Liu Shikang said anxiously when Tang Qing stopped talking after hearing half of it.

Tang Qing's brows became tighter and he said: "It's just that if my friend asks, what do I want for this food, what should I answer. What he doesn't like the most is such dirty things. If I tell the truth Let me tell you, he will never lend it to me, but if you don't tell me, how can you explain such a huge amount of food to him?"

"This..." Liu Shikang was also in a dilemma, unable to speak for a while.That's right, with such a large batch of grain, why don't people ask the reason, just any reason can't fool people, what should we do?

After Liu Shikang thought about it, he thought of the county magistrate.Such a big matter can't be solved by him alone. This matter has to be brought to the magistrate. He was so anxious that he slapped his head and said, "Come with me, go to the yamen to find the magistrate to get a regulation."
