Even Lai Zhicheng himself didn't expect that just watching a fun scene would actually reveal a crisis to him.
The hundreds of idiots from the village protection team were actually so bold as to beg for food from him!
On the contrary, it is really outrageous!
Lai Zhicheng, his grandfather's generation, started to be the village leader. When did he see so many unruly people making trouble? This bunch of mud-legged people are worse than pigs and dogs. They want to rebel!
While he hated the villagers, Lai Zhicheng hated Yun Chao even more.
If Yun Er hadn't been the one to take the lead, they wouldn't have dared to fart even if they were starved to death with these muddy legs!
In what year did several people in Wolong Village not starve to death? Why didn't anyone make trouble before Yun Er showed up? Who else could this be if it wasn't Yun Er's fault?
It's a pity that Yun Chao can no longer move easily. No matter how angry Lai Zhicheng is, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, looking for other opportunities to retaliate secretly instead of doing it openly.
Facing the angry villagers, Lai Zhicheng finally had to make concessions and agreed to provide lunch every day.
Even though everyone was fed the worst multigrain porridge, the villagers still did not continue to cause trouble. For them, this was already a great victory.
Starting from the beating of Lai Zhicheng's grandfather, when had the villagers of Wolong Village received such treatment?
All the work for the Lai family was in vain.
Not only did they have to work hard, but they also had to provide food themselves. Even if they were injured, the Lai family would only say a few nice words in a pretentious manner and never receive any compensation.
Now that someone named Lai can provide him with a meal, it is a treatment that the people of Wolong Village could not even imagine before. Even if it is just a meal of poor grain porridge, it is better than before.
The villagers are not stupid. Everyone knows how this kind of treatment came about. If it weren't for Yun Er, Lai Zhicheng would have promised to give everyone porridge, which would be more like a dream!
Yun Chao has no time to take care of Lai Zhicheng's affairs now. He still has a lot of matters of his own.
After four tree trunks were erected on both sides of Wolong Gorge, Yun Chao was ready to take people to the town and find a few technicians.
Even if it is a single-plank bridge, it is not enough to just put the tree trunks on both sides.
If you simply place a round tree trunk, what if it rolls when a person walks on it? Wouldn't the person fall down?
The tree trunk must be fixed well, and it must be as flat as possible with the ground, and it must not even collapse. This is a bridge that can be used for a long time.
What's more, Yunchao still had to connect several tree trunks, and an ox cart carrying goods was needed on them.
Once something goes wrong, it's a big deal and you have to find a few professionals. You can't just mess around on your own.
…
The next day happened to be the market day in Sanshui Town. Yun Chao set out early in the morning with ten of his men and three bullock carts.
Shitou and Luo Zhiyuan stayed with ten boys to look after the house.
Now is no longer the past. There are so many properties, as well as Yun Chao's own family and a group of his subordinates. We can't just ignore our heads. Everyone is going out to do errands. What should we do if someone robs our house?
Sanshui Town is located northeast of Wolong Village, more than ten miles away.
About ten miles due east of Wolong Village is Xiahe Village.
Five or six miles north of Xiahe Village is Sanshui Town.
Five or six miles further north from Sanshui Town is Shanghe Village.
A Qingshui River flows from north to south through Shanghe Village, Sanshui Town, and Xiahe Village respectively, then turns eastward, flows through the moat of Qingyang County, and continues to flow eastward.
The so-called Sanshui Town refers to Qingshui River, Wolong Valley, and a small river called Xiaosha River, where the three rivers meet.
If it is spring, summer and autumn, in addition to taking the land route from Wolong Village to Sanshui Town, you can also take a boat and go directly along Wolong Valley.
Unfortunately, it is winter now, and there is ice in Wolong Valley, making it impossible for ships to move.
Originally, Yun Chao wanted to do something new, get a few horse-drawn sledges, and go directly across the ice of Wolong Valley.
After personally surveying, I found out that the ice in Wolong Valley is not the ice in Northeast China. If a horse pulls a sledge up there, the most likely possibility is that the ice surface will break and people and goods will fall down together!
The journey of more than ten miles, no matter how slow the ox-cart was, would not take long, just over an hour.
After traveling through time, this was Yun Chao's first visit to Sanshui Town. Even though he had the memory of the original owner, it still felt a little strange.
It is said to be a town, but it is not like those towns in later generations. It is ridiculously small, with only one east-west street.
Every fifth and tenth day, people from the surrounding villages would come to the market to exchange their excess things for what they need.
Of course, Sanshui Town itself also has shops that do business, such as grain stores, grocery stores, etc.
Yunchao went to the grain store and found that the price of grain was more expensive than in the county, so he... bought several dan.
This is not a future generation with developed transportation and transportation. Sanshui Town is much closer to Wolong Village than Qingyang County. It is normal for food prices to be slightly higher. It is more than 20 miles away, so a slightly higher price is not a loss at all.
As the saying goes: There is no woodcutter for a hundred miles, and no millet for a thousand miles. This is the truth.
A temporary stall, the pork sold looks pretty good and fresh enough.
When he asked about the price, Yun Chao felt strange. The grain he bought just now was more expensive than in the city, but now the pork was cheaper than in the city, and it was much cheaper.
Pork in the city usually costs 100 cash per pound, but here you can buy a pound for 90 cash.
“Boss, why is the meat you sell cheaper than what’s sold in the city?”
Just ask if you don't understand. Yun Chao never feels ashamed. Since he wants to develop in the Dawu Dynasty, he must know some local customs.
Although the butcher didn't know what Yun Chao was talking about as boss, he could guess that it was an honorific: "Little brother, you don't dare to call me boss. I am just a pig butcher in the countryside. I collected this pig myself in the village." …”
Having said this, the meat vendor looked around and found that no one was paying attention, and then continued: "Selling things in our Sanshui Town does not have to pay as much tax as in the city, so the price is naturally cheaper... …”
Yun Chao laughed loudly: "I understand. Come on, weigh all the meat. How much is the total? I want them all!"
"What? Little brother, what did you say?"
The meat vendor couldn't believe his ears: "Little brother, you want it all...all..."
"Yes, I think you haven't sold much of this pig yet. Don't sell it anymore. I want all the remaining pigs!"
Yun Chao smiled slightly: "Boss, there is a good deal. I wonder if you can do it?"
