The village chief's wife didn't come to her senses for a long time. It wasn't until the village chief came back and saw his daughter-in-law in shock that she woke them up. He saw her daughter-in-law holding two chickens and a rabbit in her hands and asked what was going on.
The village chief's wife stammered that it was sent by Ji Qingyao, and also said that Ji Qingyao had beaten a tiger, etc. After hearing this, the village chief thought thoughtfully and thought that this girl from the Ji family was interesting. At the same time, he also sighed at the beauty of Dahe Village. Mr. Ji mistook pearls for fish eyes.
Village Chief Pei just sighed, and then asked his wife to get the pheasants and rabbits out to give the family another meal.
Although his family's life is better than other families in the village, they only see meat and fish twice a month. At least they can eat with open stomach tonight.
It is said that when Ji Qingyao walked to the entrance of the village, he saw an ox cart and a donkey cart waiting for people. Several people were already sitting on the ox cart, so Ji Qingyao decisively chose the mule cart.
It only costs one penny to ride on an ox-cart, but three cents on a mule-cart, but the speed is twice as fast as that of an ox-cart. Villagers will choose to ride on an ox-cart as long as they are not in a hurry, not to mention that the mule-cart also requires enough people to pull out.
Ji Qingyao didn't want to waste time, nor did she want to chat with a group of strangers in an ox cart. She walked to the mule cart and negotiated the price with the driver. She quickly jumped on the mule cart. The driver pulled Ji Qingyao and a basket on his back towards the county seat. direction.
Ji Qingyao was the only one on the mule cart except the driver. She put the tiger in the basket back home without any burden. Although it was only May, the weather was surprisingly hot. To ensure that the tiger meat was fresh, it was safest to put it in space. .
When she borrowed the basket from the village chief's house, she took a piece of oilcloth from the space and covered the basket tightly, so the driver didn't know what she was carrying.
The women sitting on the bullock cart nearby started talking, "Whose girl is that? She looks very strange."
Someone answered the call: "I saw that she went home with that boy Pei Linyun yesterday. Could it be that she was the new wife of the Pei family? If that was the case, it would be too miserable. A man who had just married would become a wife. I'm afraid I won't be able to get a house even if I'm in a hurry."
A group of women were originally talking about Ji Qingyao, but when they talked about the conscription, they lost all intention of gossiping. Their faces looked gloomy, because the men in their families were also in this group of conscripts. in.
Ji Qingyao didn't know anything about the conscription, and she didn't want to explore the fact that she shot a tiger to intimidate the people in Xiaoxi Village. She just wanted to sell the tiger quickly so that she could go back to the village to buy land and build a house.
Among the villages that belong to Qinghe Town, only Xiaoxi Village and Xiahe Village are close to the town. For example, Dahe Village takes half a day to get to the town even by riding an ox cart. Ji Qingyao had previously sneaked to the town in the name of hunting in the mountains. We even went to the county seat.
For more than half a year, Mrs. Song had been dissatisfied with Ji Qingyao's frequent visits to the mountains and his disappearance for three to five days, but when she saw the prey she brought back, she suppressed her anger.
Song is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very shrewd. She heard from other hunters that it is difficult for them to hunt prey due to drought, unless they go into the mountains, but there are too many ferocious beasts in the mountains. Ji's girl is lucky, although Although he caught few prey, he would not return empty-handed, so the Song family did not bother Ji Qingyao.
This gave Ji Qingyao an opportunity to wander outside.
When he arrived in the town, Ji Qingyao paid 30 yuan for the fare, went straight to a clothing store and bought a set of men's clothes to change into. He simply changed his appearance and turned directly from the back door of the clothing store to Yahang.
After paying a deposit of 30 taels of silver to rent a horse at Yahang, he galloped towards Lanzhou County. Ji Qingyao only learned about the possibility of renting a horse after coming to this time and space. However, the horses provided by Yahang were not like running for thousands of miles. A good horse is just a regular cart horse, but it is much faster than an ox cart or a mule cart.
Horses and cattle are precious things in this time and space, and sales must be registered. However, horses are more strictly controlled. It doesn't matter if you have money, you can't buy them. However, the dental shop has the right to rent them for a day. The cost was two hundred coins, which was enough for ordinary people to buy coarse grains and save food for ten days. This money was nothing to Ji Qingyao.
Moreover, Ji Qingyao was very happy just thinking about it, as he gained an extra income from selling tiger meat.
It's just that Qinghe Town is too small after all, and she doesn't want to cause a sensation by selling tiger meat in the town. The most important thing is that the price in the town doesn't meet her expectations.
Ji Qingyao arrived at the county town half an hour later, paid five cents for the entry fee, found a remote place, took the tiger meat packed in sacks out of the space and put it on the horse, and then walked towards the destination. .
