Back on the mountain, Jiang Zhi sold the formula and was going to the county town for a few days. Xiaoman's family also knew about teaching people how to make medicine.
"Chunfeng, bring out all the things that need to be sold at home. The fungus will definitely sell better in the county than in Lihua Town." Jiang Zhi arranged the arrangements with great interest.
Chunfeng was also happy. Half a year later, the fungus in the cellar collected several kilograms of dry goods. In the past, she was worried that it would not be easy to sell in Lihua Town, so she always kept them at home.
In addition to fungus, there are dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms, home-made dried radish and green rice noodles. Because I was worried that the villagers would find out about it and cause trouble, these things have never been taken out.
There was also straw sandal twine that Xiaoman had not sold in Lihua Town.
Xiaoman filled a large backpack with all the things and added a rope to fix it from the top of the backpack: "Auntie, do you still have to set up a stall to buy these things?"
He was a little apprehensive about setting up a stall. He stood on the roadside like a fool and was looked at, and was asked questions.
In fact, Xiao Manhui was wrong. In a small place like Lihua Town, after a year of turmoil, everyone was haggard and no one was living a good life.
But he was a young man who was neatly dressed, tall, well-proportioned, and with a dull face. He was really eye-catching. He knew at a glance that his family was well off and he had not suffered any losses.
It's normal for people to look and ask more questions. Some people even come every time they go to the market to find out which family the child belongs to or to get married, but they can't find anyone after several times.
Jiang Zhi said: "We still set up a stall, but let Li Laoshi do it and you stay with me."
Li Laoshi is unwilling to work.
In the early stage, he was asked to supervise other people's work because the whole village had to work in the fields. There were so many people and the area was so large that they had to be supervised.
Nowadays, doing corvee work is nothing. There are not many people, so everyone is lazy. He is always lazing around and has aroused public anger, so he should hide for a few days.
If he were allowed to sell goods, he would definitely be happy and be able to go out for a walk.
"Okay!" Xiao Man was instantly happy when he was not allowed to hold the stall.
Little Man next to him didn't say anything. He lit up his favorite cigarette pole with a smile on his face.
The Huo family did not agree on when to go to the county seat, they only said as soon as possible, and even paid the banknote first.
Jiang Zhi didn't delay. She asked Zhang Juntou for help before going up the mountain, hoping to hitch a ride on the road.
Xujiacun relies on official roads, and there are always three or five cars passing by every day, not to mention the constant flow of people.
Jiang Zhi asked Zhang Juntou and the others to find a ride during their inspection.
He also asked Zhang Juntou if he had anything to take to the county government office, and he could take it with him by the way.
This was a trivial matter, so Zhang Juntou agreed without bringing any paperwork. He only asked her to go down the mountain before noon, when it was easiest to find the car.
On the third day, Jiang Zhi took Errui Xiaoman into the city. Because he would be away from home for a few days, Chunfeng would go to the cliff to stay with Qiaoyun at night.
I'm worried that Peppa will drive people away again at night. She is very strong now and no one can hold her down when she gets aggressive.
Jiang Zhi specially took Chunfeng to lie down at home, and then pulled Peppa Pig's ear to communicate patiently.
"Pork Belly, you must be obedient even after I leave. Don't chase people away at night!"
"Um!"
"Don't eat herbs secretly!" The herbs she planted before were right next to the wild boar's toilet, and Peppa would eat a few of them every time she went to poop.
"Um!"
"Remember to search for rabbit holes in the cornfield during the day!"
Now the wheat is about to mature, the cultivated corn, cotton and sweet potatoes are all young leaves. Xiaoman is busy with things down the mountain, and the rabbits are getting rampant.
So Jiang Zhi asked the wild boar to search, and when he found the rabbit hole, he collapsed it and filled it.
"Um!"
"Remember you promised that as long as you do a good job, I will buy cannabis flowers for you to eat!"
"Uh-huh!"
The transaction is completed and the two parties agree on the result, and the wild boar voluntarily agrees.
On the third day, after arranging family affairs, Jiang Zhi and his party went to the official road to wait for the bus.
This time when he went to the city, Jiang Zhi didn't bring any more medicinal materials to sell, but four people carrying a large basket still took up a lot of space. Zhang Juntou helped stop him twice and forced him to get into the car.
This is a merchant's mule team, escorted by several guys.
The vendor was a young man in his twenties. He was angry and dared not speak out when the inspector forced him to lead others.
He said that he has never taken anyone on the road since he started doing business.
Especially now, if it weren't for the inspection department, strangers would definitely not be allowed to get on the bus.
Jiang Zhi smiled and said: "There will definitely be more of this kind of thing in the future. After Xujia Village has a post station, you are welcome to come to the village to rest and drink tea."
Seeing that the woman who got in the car was quite friendly and now invited him to the village to rest later, the merchant's unhappy mood just now gradually dissipated.
Xiaoman has an active personality. It is rare to see these traveling caravans, so he talks more and keeps asking about things outside.
When it comes to things outside, everyone has endless things to talk about, especially what happened to Xujiacun when bandits burned down the village.
From the chatter of the waiters, Jiang Zhi knew that the villages along the road had suffered, and several towns had been robbed.
These things were actually done by those rebel soldiers.
When the new army rebelled, officials sent by the imperial court in various prefectures and counties fled, and the government soldiers lost control.
These government soldiers usually extort money from the people in the caravan, causing a lot of complaints. They know that if they are caught, they will be beheaded.
So the soldiers from the government got entangled with each other and formed groups to rob the villages and towns along the way.
Now some rebels were captured by the new army and surrendered, some changed their identities and hid among the refugees, and some became kings of the mountains.
Of course, Xujiacun was the first village to be burned down, and Xujiacun was also the first to recover its popularity so quickly.
“People living in other villages are still hiding and dare not walk outside, and the land is also deserted.
I see that not only the land in your village is cultivated, but also corvee service is available. Your village chief should be a capable person. "One of the guys boasted.
They have been out all year round and have good eyesight. Although Xujiacun is still a simple shack, the people's spirits are obviously different.
This is like a flock of panicked and overwhelmed sheep, similar to a flock of sheep that has a head and knows where they can go to graze.
We are facing the same wind and rain, one side is disorganized, and the other side is large-scale and organized.
Xiaoman chuckled: "Our village will be fine in the future!"
If he were in a town or a village, he would have to praise his aunt for being the village chief, but now on his way out, he restrained himself.
The road is not smooth yet.
According to the caravan guys, there are some sections of the road where bandits are robbing them, so they need to bring enough people with them.
This kind of thing has a great impact on their business, but the brave ones can make a lot of money with just one trip.
Jiang Zhi listened quietly: The troubled times are not far away.
Traveling hundreds of miles through mountains and forests, dozens of people like Zhang Juntou and others can have a limited effect. Just like the Somali escort, shock is better than annihilation.
Staggering all the way to Pingchuan County, Jiang Zhi once again felt that the troubled times had not passed.
Outside the city gate, there were more refugees who had been sent away last time, and they were living in shacks in the woods before.
Jiang Zhiwei frowned: "Magistrate Zhang asked the refugees to return to their hometowns, why are there still so many people?"
