Seeing that the little beggar had woken up, Jiang Sheng approached him and asked, "Little brother, how old are you? Where is your home? What's your name?"
The beggar was stunned and didn't answer a word.
It was Zheng Ruqian who poked her, "I'm not my younger brother. I'm older than you at first glance."
"No, younger than me." Jiang Sheng was still stubborn. She already had four brothers and she wanted a younger brother.
But when the little beggar stood up and was really half a head taller than Jiang Sheng, the corners of her mouth drooped again.
Okay, another brother.
Jiang Sheng has no other advantages, except that he accepts reality quickly and immediately changed his mind, "Fifth brother, you must be hungry."
The beggar nodded blankly.
Jiang Sheng brought the leftover vegetables from the morning hot and said, "Take two bites quickly."
The beggar's eyes widened, looking at the vegetable paste with no discernible raw materials, and he took it tremblingly.
"Fifth brother, it must be cold." Jiang Sheng was considerate and immediately took the last cotton-padded jacket over, "Here it is for you to wear. It's super warm."
The beggar's hands were shaking even more violently because of this obviously ill-fitting dusty cotton-padded jacket, this desolate ruined temple, and this strange person.
"Fifth brother must have just broken down from the fever and his hands are soft." Jiang Sheng took the vegetable paste, found a clean spoon, took a mouthful, and stuffed it into the beggar's mouth very quickly, "I'll feed you."
Thick liquid fills the mouth.
Beggar's expression gradually changed, as if he wanted to vomit, but he held it back.
Jiang Sheng didn't notice, and finished feeding happily, "Fifth brother likes the vegetable paste I made."
Xu Mo almost choked to death with a mouthful of water, but he managed to swallow it and looked at Beggar, "You had a fever, and it was my sister who saved you."
Beggar's eyes fell on Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng patted his chest proudly, "It was all of us who saved you together."
"I don't know who you were before or what your name was, but here, you just have to be yourself." Xu Mo lowered his eyelashes, "We are a group of orphans without fathers and mothers. Sorted by age, if you are willing, Just be our Xiaowu.”
"If you don't want to, heaven and earth will let you go."
The beggar turned his head and looked outside.
The world is indeed very big, but there is no place for him.
Those splendid past were shattered in an instant, and the old and tidy ruined temples are the real existence.
Beggar raised his head and finally said in a hoarse voice, "I only remember that my name is Chang Yan."
Jiang Sheng's face was instantly full of sympathy, "Fifth brother probably suffered from fever and amnesia. It doesn't matter. You will still have us in the future."
She pointed at herself and her four brothers and gave a brief introduction.
Chang Yan was silent and just nodded.
When Fang Heng was introduced, he was stunned for a moment and stared at him for a long time.
Fang Heng was confused, "Do you know me?"
Chang Yan shook his head and lowered his head.
"Okay, okay, in order to celebrate the fifth brother's joining, we are having meat for lunch today." Jiang Sheng thought of the two ounces of meat he had cut in the county yesterday and clapped his hands and cheered.
The expressions of the brothers all changed.
If the noodles made by Jiang Sheng can barely fit into the stomach, the meat is terrifying.
"I'm going to the village to change Zhou Zhiqiang's medicine." Wen Zhiyun picked up the medicine box.
"I'll help carry the medicine box." Fang Heng followed closely.
"I'll collect the fungi." Zheng Ruqian clamped his tail.
For a time, only Xu Mo and Chang Yan were left in the bustling ruined temple.
Jiang Sheng pursed his lips and looked at his two brothers enthusiastically, "It's better for you, the eldest brother or the fifth brother. I'll make some broth for you."
Xu Mo smiled bitterly. He only wished that he couldn't stand up...
noon.
No matter how busy I am outside, I always have to go back to the ruined temple for lunch.
The broth cooked by Jiang Sheng ended up in the stomachs of several brothers.
After finally eating, people came from the entrance of the village.
It was Aunt Zhang from the east end of the village, standing at the door of the ruined temple and looking around.
When she saw Chang Yan, her eyes lit up, "Hey, whose kid is this? Why is he so handsome?"
Jiang Sheng stood up immediately and blocked the fifth brother behind him, "This is my brother."
"It's your brother again." Aunt Zhang's eyes widened, "Jiang Sheng, how many brothers do you have?"
Although Jiang Sheng is young, he is also smart. Why should he explain this kind of thing to outsiders?
But she didn't want to offend anyone, so she rolled her eyes and changed the topic, "It's noon, has Auntie eaten? Do you want to see me for anything?"
Aunt Zhang then patted her thigh and said, "I heard you have a fourteen-cent cotton-padded jacket here. Do you have any more? Give me one too."
Sure enough, the price is the best in the world.
Jiang Sheng was a little annoyed that he didn't have enough money, and thought about approving fifty or sixty pieces next time, "It's gone today, but if Auntie wants it, I can bring you some tomorrow."
Aunt Zhang patted her thigh again, "Okay, I'll come over and get one tomorrow."
After seeing Aunt Zhang off, Jiang Sheng was so excited that he wished he could spend all his family's money to wholesale cotton-padded clothes.
Xu Mo was copying a book and kindly reminded him, "There are hundreds of families in the village. How many of them can buy cotton-padded clothes?"
Even though there is a market in Shilipu Village, the market is too small and can be filled with thirty or fifty coats.
If you really want to wholesale hundreds of pieces, I'm afraid you'll lose them in your hands.
Jiang Sheng had already made plans in his mind. He put his hands on his hips and said, "Then go to the town and sell it."
"Is the town saturated?" Xu Mo asked again.
Jiang Sheng was stunned. There were four villages in Shili Town. Assuming that each village could buy thirty cotton-padded jackets, a total of one hundred and twenty cotton-padded jackets could be sold.
Cotton-padded jackets are not for food and drink. You will buy them again when you run out of food and drinks. A jacket can be worn for three to five years.
Xieyang County is quite big, but if you sell things wholesale in the county, you won't make any profit.
Could it be that selling cotton-padded jackets is destined to stop at one hundred and twenty items?
Jiang Sheng squatted on the ground and thought hard.
Leng Buding Changyan said, "You can sell it in other towns."
Jiang Sheng jumped up suddenly, his eyes shining brightly, "Fifth Brother is right. Although other towns are farther away, we have a donkey cart."
As long as they are willing to go, they can go anywhere and sell anywhere.
"Fifth brother is awesome, fifth brother is so smart." Jiang Sheng rushed to Chang Yan and pulled him around.
Immediately, she ran out happily, presumably to help Zheng Ruqian collect fungi in preparation for going to the county town tomorrow.
Liu Changyan stood there blankly, with a look of confusion on his fair cheeks.
Xu Mo saw it and chuckled.
In the afternoon, the brother and sister, who worked together for most of the day, only received one basket of fungi.
Jiang Sheng wants to enter the county town tomorrow, and also wants to send more fungi to Youranju.
But the mushroom production was limited. They visited almost the entire Shilipu Village and only received one basket.
"Isn't this too little to give to Youranju?" Zheng Ruqian scratched his head.
"But there are no more fungi in the village." Jiang Sheng spread his hands, "I can only wait until my uncles go to the mountains to pick them tomorrow."
Zheng Ruqian sighed.
Jiang Sheng shook his head.
The other brothers were relatively speechless.
Leng Buding Changyan spoke again, "Can't you accept something else?"
