It was night, and people from the city department took turns to help guard.
At dawn, the manager became smarter and went to buy breakfast and bring one to others.
It was already mid-morning and all the remaining rock candy was sold.
When everyone was preparing to go back, Zhu Wentian took the village chief to buy livestock.
When he comes to a new place, he believes that there are some good ones that he can look at if he is sick, and the price is cheap, but if he doesn’t look good, he won’t buy them at all.
Donkeys, donkeys and mules, horses, horses and mules, cattle, sheep, and pigs, buy them all, and then buy sacks.
There is no need to buy silk and cloth. There are mulberry trees in the village and cotton and hemp are grown.
Ramie is used to make clothes, and jute is used to twist ropes and weave sacks. In the past, the village only grew jute in small quantities and it was not valuable.
Buy a large group of livestock and buy snacks for the children, and you will have money.
Two thousand catties of rock sugar were sold at an average price of 496 yuan per catty, which was considered a bribe.
After deducting the loss caused by lifting the scale, we got 990,000 yuan.
Among them, 495,000 yuan will be given to the villagers according to the proportion of the money. When the time comes, the villagers will redeem the pawned jewelry.
Including wheat, soybeans, salt, and pottery utensils, Zhu Wentian directly spent a fraction of it, which was 95,000 Wen Gong's money. In fact, it was less than that, leaving more than 400 money.
He spent money, the villagers supported him, and he was right to listen to the villagers.
At three quarters past noon, the team that finished shopping rushed back.
Pigs still enjoy special treatment, riding in the car, while other livestock are tied with ropes and go with the car.
Everyone kept forks, butcher knives, sickles and other working tools at hand, looking at everyone as if they were trying to rob them.
On the way back, we passed the Tibetan-Han Village. The name of the village during Zhu Wentian's time, as the name suggests, was where Tibetan immigrants came.
Now there is basically no one there, it is all small hills, and the soil can be dug casually.
Zhu Wentian took the lead in loading the soil, and depending on the physical condition of the animals, he put up the sacks if they were OK.
The only animals that were so sick that it was difficult to walk were two cows, which were very skinny and cost 600 coins each.
People who raise cattle always think that they will get better, but the more they raise the cattle, they become thinner and thinner, unable to do the work, and there is not much meat after killing them, so they simply sell them to see if they are taken advantage of.
Zhu Wentian will slaughter these two cows when he goes back. There is a high probability that the cows have bezoars in their stomachs. The bezoars are much more expensive than cows.
He wanted to use it to make some Angong Niuhuang Pills, and other medicinal materials were easy to buy. If anyone in the village needed them, he would give them to the villagers.
"Hanhan, it's almost done. We can't load the animals anymore. We'll dig again when we get back and have some free time."
The headman led people to load sacks, made some calculations, and called a halt.
"Okay! Hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian really couldn't tell the specific carrying capacity of these animals.
"Li Chief, next time you go shopping here! The road is close." A villager suggested.
"It's difficult to navigate the road. I'll think of a way."
The village chief knew that the road was close, and the village belonged to the Xuancheng area. It was on the boundary of Xuancheng, Ningguo Mansion. As the village chief, he could open the road at will.
Going north, across the river is Taiping Mansion. His road route doesn't work, so he has to go to Xuancheng.
"Chief, you need some road signs with seals, fill them in yourself then." Someone else came up with an idea.
Zhu Wentian: "..."
He suddenly remembered something, the empty seal case.
The empty seal case involves matters such as the receipt, payment and transportation of money and food. Does opening a road to lead the way count?
"No, go ahead and open it, ah! Ah!" He objected. God knows if old scores will be opened in a few years, and the village can't afford it.
"Listen to me, when you go to Xuancheng in the future, please open the road for a longer period of time and keep it as a backup." The liangzhu chose the safe way.
Village guards don’t lie, huh! I won’t lie to my own people. After raising it for many years, when Cheng Ding turned sixteen, he became enlightened.
In the evening, the team crossed the bridge and returned to the village.
The people guarding the village entrance ran back, shouting as they ran: "We're back, the village chief and Hanhan are back!"
The villagers came out again, looking eagerly at the team.
When I saw so many animals in the team, I was able to confirm that I was making money.
They went up to it and followed the car. When the car stopped, the covering cloth was lifted up, and the piles of copper coins were dazzling.
Li Changzuo took a deep breath, calmed down, and shouted: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand yuan, the minister's money will be kept for four hundred and ninety-five thousand yuan, and the other half will be divided according to the amount of money. Go get the jewelry back tomorrow."
The waiting villagers were stunned, and suddenly saw someone crying. One was sad, the other was desolate.
"We have money, we have money, ah~~~ah~~~we have money!"
He shouted and knelt on the ground, slapping the dirt with his hands.
Others cried, it was so difficult, how did you live day by day?
Li Chang also wiped away tears. He had thought about it a lot along the way, but now he couldn't help it anymore.
After everyone vented for a while, he coughed twice: "Stop crying, life will get better in the future. You all know who gave it to you, right? It's Hanhan. We should treat Hanhan like... we should treat Hanhan like before."
Zhu Wentian: "..."
"Brother Hanhan, have you killed the pig? Eat the meat!" The little girl ran over, but she didn't cry.
"Cow, kill the cow. Uh-huh!" Zhu Wentian pointed at the two thin cows. The certificate issued by the local director shows that there is a deed at the same time.
Cows don't seem to weigh as much as pigs, but they are actually heavier than pigs. The reason why they are cheap is that others think they will get sick if they eat the meat.
"Yes, yes, kill the cows and separate the two cows from other livestock."
The head of the village recovered and thought of business. He agreed to kill the two cows when they came back, and the county was slapped with a seal.
We don’t want to eat cow blood from such a cow, so we tie the cow up and someone picks up a big hammer and hits the cow on the head.
As soon as the hammer came down, the cow fell to the ground with a pop. The person holding the knife went over and slashed the cow's neck twice. The cow's neck was only connected by the spine.
Others splashed water with buckets to wash away the cow's blood. The cow's hooves were not in a position where people were standing. Sometimes the cow's head fell off, and it could stand up suddenly or kick hard a few times.
While others were cleaning up the cows, Zhu Wentian kept an eye on them, and then took out a large lump of stuff from each of the two cows.
"Brother Hanhan, what are you holding?" The little girl looked curiously.
"Bezoar." Zhu Wentian was happy, the bezoar was big.
"What for?" The little girl wanted to reach out and take it, but she was afraid of getting her hands dirty.
"Medical treatment." Zhu Wentian couldn't explain it clearly.
"Hanhan, is this a bezoar? Xuancheng Medical Center sells it. It's very expensive."
The villagers heard it nearby and came forward to take a closer look.
"Well! No, sell, don't sell, hehe!" Zhu Wentian told the other party not to think about selling for money.
"If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it, just listen to Hanhan." Someone else said, our Hanhan is amazing!
"Hehehe!" Zhu Wentian laughed.
"I think our silly boy looks better and better as it grows longer."
"If you don't look good, can you be the village guard of our Xiaqiu Village?"
"We won't do any forced labor. We'll give you food. Hanhan helped earn it."
"I'll eat beef later and leave a leg for Hanhan."
"Hanhan can't eat it alone."
"I couldn't finish eating, so I just watched and giggled."
"We are not stupid, we are treacherous. We are laughing evilly."
The villagers began to praise the villagers, oh! Good-looking, tiger-headed.
Zhu Wentian: "..."
He thinks it's better to smile silly. What is a silly smile? Is there such a compliment?
Regardless of whether it was a sly smile or a silly smile, the villagers handled the cow very quickly.
Cows are different from pigs. Generally, cowhide is not eaten and kept for use.
The decomposed cattle were boiled in six large pots, and dried vegetables were added. It was enough for the whole village of more than 550 people to have a good meal, and there was still some leftover.
The butter is shaved off separately, waiting to be eaten after frying.
