The tiger drank the water and ate the watermelon. He glanced at the two pheasants and turned away.
Seeing the disgusting look in its eyes, Ye Yutong thought the two chickens had gone bad. She smelled them and found out they weren't? The blood is still fresh.
Although it has been dead for several days, it has been kept in the basement, just as it was when it was first brought in.
She felt that the tiger was very hungry, so she ignored it and took Li Yunze into the space to eat.
Ye Mingzhe made a sumptuous lunch. The three of them sat at the dining table and chatted while eating.
"Sister, was it really the tiger that led you away?"
"Yes, but that tiger has a bad temper. If it wasn't comfortable to sit on, it would be better to ride a horse."
Ye Yutong was a little resentful towards the tiger, feeling that it did not provide good service and would scare her by moving faster and slower.
She and Ping An were not sitting in vain, they were exchanged for space well water. Tiger treats his passengers like this, it is really unprofessional.
Ye Mingzhe said with interest: "Brother-in-law, why don't you work inside in the afternoon, while my sister and I ride on tigers."
"No." The two refused in unison.
"Why not?" Ye Mingzhe was a little unhappy. He also wanted to try. What would it be like to ride a tiger?
Li Yunze said: "Second brother, we are not very familiar with that tiger. If it goes crazy and eats people, you won't be able to deal with it."
"Yes, tigers want to eat people."
He worriedly warned: "Brother-in-law, you and your sister should be more careful. If there is danger, hide in immediately, but don't confront it head-on."
Li Yunze smiled and promised, "I know, second brother, I will protect Tongtong well."
"Brother-in-law, I'm not only worried about my sister, I'm also worried about you. You both need to pay attention to your safety." Ye Mingzhe added hurriedly, fearing that he would be too preoccupied.
Not to mention Li Yunze, Ye Yutong was even amused by his second brother's words! At such a young age, he is very thoughtful.
The two of them left the space after eating, and the tiger was waiting for them.
Ye Yutong put the few apples he took out in front of the tiger. The tiger happily rubbed on her legs and ate the apples in a few bites.
Tiger ran with the two of them for four or five days before arriving at the small town Lin Zhong mentioned. This was twice as fast as riding a horse.
Ye Yutong brought a bucket of well water out of the space and let the tiger drink it, "Brother Tiger, thank you very much for this journey. It's not convenient for you to follow me down the mountain. If you still want to drink this water, just wait at the place where we met. , we’ll look for you when we come back.”
The tiger finished the bucket of water, let out a "ooh", rubbed against their legs, and sat there motionless, with no intention of going into the mountain at all.
Li Yunze touched its tiger head and coaxed: "Brother Tiger, I really can't let you follow me, it will scare others. I'll let you play with me when we come back, okay?"
No matter what they try to persuade? The tiger was unmoved, meaning it would rely on them.
The two stared at the cheating tiger. In the end, they had no choice but to take it to space.
Ye Mingzhe met a tiger a few days ago and was carried by it for a day. When I saw my sister bringing it in, I hugged the tiger’s neck and started making out with him.
"Brother, you must keep an eye on it. Don't let it go to the mountains. Don't let it ruin the crops in the field. There is also well water. Let it drink up to half a bucket of well water every day."
Ye Yutong warned worriedly, she was afraid that tigers would come up the mountain and destroy the poultry.
Ye Mingzhe smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on Brother Tiger and prevent him from running around."
Ye Yutong nodded and left the space. He and Ping An carried a large backpack and walked down the mountain.
This town is surrounded by mountains, and several villages are also in the mountains. To reach this town, you have to walk over mountains and ridges for a long time. So no disaster victims come here.
The atmosphere in the town is very peaceful, people live and work in peace and contentment here, and the fireworks are endless.
Compared with the war and devastation outside, this remote town is the paradise described by the poet.
But such a pure land cannot escape reality, because the bamboo baskets they weave cannot be sold, and urgently needed daily necessities cannot be brought in.
Especially salt, there is no stock in the town, and the government salt shop has been closed for several days.
The two of them walked into a shop selling bamboo utensils, which was filled with bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, backpacks, vegetable baskets, and all kinds of small baskets.
Ye Yutong picked up a small bamboo basket and felt that the craftsmanship was really good.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this kind of bamboo basket?"
The shopkeeper saw that they were two and a half-year-old children, so he said listlessly: "Little girl, if you like it, just give me two cents."
All the men, women, and children in their town can weave bamboo utensils, and no one will spend money to buy these things.
He thought Ye Yutong and Li Yunze were children from a nearby village, so he casually asked for two cents.
The bamboo wares in his shop were agreed upon by a trader. Because it was too chaotic outside, the businessman had not been here for several months. These goods have also been suppressed for a long time.
Ye Yutong felt that two cents was indeed very cheap. Maybe it was because there were bamboo forests on the mountains here and most of the people in the town knew how to weave bamboo utensils, so these were not valuable.
A basket like this could be sold for at least ten cents in a big town.
She took out two pennies from her purse, picked a small bamboo basket and carried it in her hand.
The two of them came out of the bamboo shop and walked around the street again. This town is really small, and it only took a quarter of an hour to walk around from start to finish.
"Peace, the salt shop in the town has closed. How about we go to other towns to check it out?"
Li Yunze nodded, "Go ahead. We've already come out. Just walk a few more places. Don't you still want to sell something?"
In the past, those with families and dependents were surrounded by eager refugees and did not dare to stay outside for too long.
There are only three of them now. The second uncle has to work inside and doesn't come out much.
He and Tongtong were on their way, and they didn't have much luggage, so they weren't afraid of being noticed.
Besides, his martial arts are pretty good, so he should have no problem protecting Tongtong.
Ye Yutong lifted the bamboo basket in his hand and said, "Ping An, I'm going to buy some of these small bamboo baskets to hold fruits. If we can get to a big town, we can sell the fruits inside."
Li Yunze took the bamboo basket and looked at it. Not to mention, this bamboo basket was really well made, small and exquisite, and should be very popular among wealthy families.
Although the current financial situation is not good, it does not have much impact on those wealthy families.
They are not short of money, food, or servants, and their lives are not much different from before.
He asked: "How many are you going to buy?"
"How many do you think the shopkeeper has? I'm going to buy more. There's already a lot of fruit in it. If there's less, it won't be enough."
Ye Yutong plans to put all the fruits in baskets and sell them, which will make people feel high-end at first glance and will definitely fetch a good price.
Li Yunze thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the shopkeeper now and ask him how much he has in stock. We'll buy them all. If it's not enough, let them hurry up and compile it. We can stop here for two days."
After the two decided, they immediately went to find the shopkeeper.
"This little brother, what are you talking about? How much do you want?" The shopkeeper asked him in disbelief.
Li Yunze nodded and said: "Yes, shopkeeper, how many bamboo baskets like this do you have in stock?"
The shopkeeper reacted and immediately said with a smile: "Yes, yes, there are a lot of them, about thousands of them, some are big and some are small. The girl just bought a small one, the big one is more exquisite than this one, you two Wait a minute, I’ll show it to you.”
As the shopkeeper spoke, he ran to the backyard and asked his wife to pour tea for the two of them.
The shopkeeper didn't lie to them. The larger basket looked more delicate and could hold about five or six kilograms of apples. The small one should be able to hold two to three kilograms.
It can also hold eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, etc.
The more Ye Yutong looked at it, the more he liked it. He rounded up the large and small baskets on the spot, and bought some larger baskets and large bamboo baskets.
Seeing how generous the two were, the shopkeeper laughed so much that his mouth almost split behind his ears.
