But ordinary inns are not safe. It is not easy for them to stay in the cheap Datongpu when they have food and "huge sums of money". If you don't pay attention, your pocket will be empty!
It is not uncommon for businessmen to be drugged and stolen by strangers in the same room.
The village chief had a lot of experience. He asked his two sons to stay on the mule cart for half the night, and then he could catch up on their sleep with them when they got home. There was plenty of food in the car, and they knew the importance and didn't dare to complain about being tired.
Just like that, the three of them were all nervous and no one could sleep well.
At dawn the next day, the village chief gave his sons a cup of hot water, ate some steamed buns, and was the first to leave the city when the city gate opened.
——Food prices have increased, and white-flour steamed buns costing 5 cents cannot be afforded, while these mixed-flour steamed buns have changed from 1 cent each to expensive steamed buns costing 3 cents each! That boy's head is also small, about the same size as a woman's fist.
If it weren't for the fear of being hungry and not having the energy to drive the car, the village chief would not be willing to buy it. He would eat it in two or three mouthfuls for only 3 cents.
The city is too scary, so we should go back to the village quickly.
One person was driving the car in front, while two people lay on the grain and squinted their eyes to sleep. The father and son took turns driving the car, wandering slowly, and entered the house after dark.
The neighbors next door are used to it. The village chief's family goes out to do hard work every day and doesn't come back until dark. They don't come out to see if they hear any noise. I don’t know where to sell the coolies now. If I collect them every day, I’m sure I can make money. I’ll ask some other time!
The village chief's family was worried to death, fearing that they would get into trouble, and no one could bring a word back. They spent the night outside without saying a word. If I hadn't been there to control them this time, they would have cried to death.
A few people still didn't dare to light candles and ate in the dark. Jiang Shan touched the carriage up and down in the yard, feeling very happy. Although it is old, it is still expensive. How dare they think of it before!
This mule was bought with the money that the family had saved for more than ten years. The cart board was made by the father himself after cutting down trees from the mountains. It was used to pick up passengers, but people in the village were not particular about it. After using it for two or three years, it was now replaced by a carriage!
Like a young man, he bared his teeth and went into the house to listen to his father.
The village chief explained, "Nowadays, there are many people who are short of food, and our carriage plates do not block things, so it is not safe." So the carriage was replaced, and the old carriage plates were not lost and were tied to the roof of the carriage.
"This time, we bought three people's portions and queued up at four grain stores at once. There were so many people and we had to register, so we missed the time to leave the city."
The village chief's wife complained, "It's too late to buy so much. I'll just go back next time. Why are you in such a hurry?"
I wonder if your family is worried?
The village chief glanced at her, "Next time? I don't know how much we can afford next time!"
The village chief's wife opened her eyes wide, "Did the price increase again?!"
"What do you think the price of food is now? The price of beans is now 10 Wen per liter, black flour is 20 Wen per liter, and I don't even dare to ask about polished rice and white flour."
She beat her chest and took a breath, "Oh my God, one price per day!"
Their family can now make some money and can still buy things, but other families can't...
"Moreover, I heard people queuing up in the city chatting and said that if the rain doesn't stop for two days, it will become a household registration restriction and a family can only buy two buckets a day!"
Everyone took a deep breath. They could buy two buckets a day, which was enough to feed the family. But this is a sign, indicating that the food store is running out of food, and the situation is getting more and more serious!
The village chief took out the remaining money, leaving 35 taels of silver.
He looked around at the crowd. Some were excited and some were happy. They had different thoughts and struck in a deep voice with a straight face.
"We are a family, so we don't hide anything from you. But when you do things, you always think about your children! This money seems to be a lot. Maybe the food has been rising, and I don't know how long it can last."
"The money and food at home are all spent on you. If you let me know who is talking nonsense outside, I will divorce her on behalf of Lao Jiang's family!"
"If my son talks too much, I don't have to have this son! I have more than one son!"
"Yes, Dad, we understand."
Everyone lowered their heads, being frightened by their father/father and not daring to think too little. He always keeps his word, and he can really do this.
After the village chief finished hammering, he looked in the direction of Fucheng and sighed, "This is all given to us by Jiang Yue and Jiang Nian. We must remember their great kindness! Without them, we can't even afford a few buckets of food now." !Starve to death after paying taxes!”
He actually wanted to give half of the money to Jiang Yue, but the other party made it clear that he didn't want to have too much entanglement, so that was all. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will repay you.
Jiang Yue, who was far away in Fucheng, sneezed and rubbed her nose, thinking she had a cold. But except this time, he didn't sneeze again.
She tightened the stitches on the new shoes in her hand and then tried them on herself. Well, it was good. Her craftsmanship had improved again.
The soles of the cloth shoes here are very thin, and the soles of the feet hurt when you walk a lot, and they can easily break. She glued the two pairs of insoles together with glue and sewed them tightly with thread. Under double protection, they should not be easily scattered.
She didn't want to make anything fancy at this time, so she kept it simple and monochromatic, and only embroidered a small moon on it, and Jiang Nian's was a small star.
When he thought of him, the boy excitedly took a piece of paper with the word "month" written on it. Expand to show off the results to her. There wasn't much expression on his face, but the changes in his emotions could be felt between his brows and eyes.
This is the result of two days of practice. It deserves encouragement. He patted his head and said, "It's so well written! What does the big cub want to eat today?"
Don't eat eggs again...
"Eat eggs."
Sure enough, Jiang Yue was about to faint.
That egg pancake seems to have opened the door to a new world for the boy, who is crazy about eggs.
She has cooked five meals with eggs in a row, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with cucumbers, and fried eggs with chives. He even ate a big bowl of egg fried rice.
Jiang Yue felt that as soon as she stepped into the kitchen, the scent of eggs filled the air.
Squeezing his face, the young man was lean, with no baby fat on his face, and it felt smooth to the touch. "When the rain stops, we will go to the countryside again to collect, eggs, eggs for you!"
