Chapter 221 Chapter 220
Although the voice was low, the shopkeeper's ears were sharp, and he immediately said, "Is it cotton cloth? Yes, yes. How much do you want?"

Er Niu's daughter-in-law has always been timid, but she has been tempered all the way, she is still shy, and immediately shrank behind Granny Tian without even a hair in sight.

What kind of person is the shopkeeper? He didn't take it seriously, and shouted at the others: "Is there anything else I want? The real price. I was introduced by Master Yuan. I won't lie to you, Budu!" Good cloth, what price should we pay, and we didn’t earn a penny.”

They are all a group of women. Women are the most enthusiastic about buying cloth, and every household is indeed short of clothes. Although they have bought cloth on the road, those are not enough for 400 people.

Many of them were left with half collars and cotton coats given by the barracks, and the others were either buried so that they could no longer be worn, or the Acropolis was all lost.

So, after a while, Da Lang took over his fourth uncle's previous job, and started counting with a pen and paper. The family of four needed 24 feet, and the family of eight needed [-] feet.

Mrs. Tian pulled Qi Bao'er to an empty corner, "Baby, why do we buy so much cotton?"

Don't all of them lack brocade clothes and brocade quilts?
"Grandma, I told you to send it to the barracks."

Granny Tian was a little confused for a moment: "Isn't it all ready?"

We all went to the barracks to discuss how to get them.

"How can there be a uniform? The Zhenbei Army has 50 people. Even after the previous battles, there are at least [-] people. How much do you need to prepare?"

As far as the nearly 200 million catties of grain they bought from the original family sounds like a lot, it’s true that a vote of people will lose their heads every minute, but the savings are only calculated as one catty of grain per person per day, which is only enough The whole army of Zhenbei Army ate for five days.

Counting this thing is not counted.

Listening to tens of thousands of taels, wow, it’s gone.

But when it comes to military supplies, a catty of brown rice is six cents at the market price, and for 50 soldiers, one catty per person per day costs 50 catties, which costs 3 taels of silver.

This time, the Yuan family gave them more than cabbage, and the price was calculated in terms of stones. Brown rice was seventy yuan for one stone, less than three yuan for a catty, and white flour was one hundred yuan for one stone, only half of the normal market price.

Otherwise, with the tens of thousands of taels in their hands, how could they buy 200 million grains?

Last night, Dad took away 2 taels from her, and said that after paying the bill, he would give the rest of [-] taels, and put it on Dad for the time being, in case of emergencies.

After all, cotton clothes and quilts are twice as expensive as food.

Her father is very smart, in the current situation, he doesn't want to pay for it all by himself, but he just needs to see the situation before he prepares.

Mrs. Tian didn't react when she heard this, she was frightened, and she muttered for a long time before she could say: "My darling, if you don't tell me, I'm thinking that the food we sent is enough for them to eat for a long time .”

It's only been five days, and there is only one catty of food for each person. How can a catty of food a day be enough for those soldiers?Wouldn't it mean that if they were made to fill their stomachs, they would eat up in two or three days?
Passing by and listening to the empty basin in Li Qin's hand falling to the ground with a bang, she didn't notice, she just stared blankly and said, "Mother, if you do this calculation, if you want to give everyone a whole set of cotton clothes, we will Didn't you tear yourself apart and couldn't get it together?"

Now Mrs. Tian is full of question marks, "Who told you that we have to prepare everything for everyone?"

According to Bao'er's calculations, even if she is a prince and princess, she wouldn't dare to settle this matter, would she?
They were able to take away [-] sets and return [-] sets, which is already extremely good.

After eating white flour steamed buns for two days, I forgot who I am, right?

"That's good, that's good." Li Qin patted her chest in fear, picked up the basin/person and left in a daze.

The old lady Tian was so frightened when she heard the data, she muttered: "No wonder Wulang is getting more and more stupid, she looks like a mother."

Wu Lang of the old Qi's family has a shrewd face, and his naturally raised eyebrows are a bit evil, but what everyone sees along the way is that he is more and more like Qi Kangfu. Can cheat food out of his hands.

"Grandma, if there is cotton, there should be no disaster for us in the future. Even if we don't send it to the barracks, we only keep it for ourselves. The more the better."

Qi Bao'er looked back at the group of women and daughters-in-law surrounding Dayang, lowered her voice and said, "They all have two sets of cotton-padded clothes now, and they don't feel that they are lacking, what can they do?
Grandma, if you go further north, it will only get colder and colder.

In the future, we will go south. I thought that there should not be many people growing cotton in the south. I didn’t hear people from the Yuan family say that cotton is mainly grown in the north, and cotton from the north is transported to the south every year.

Grandma, think about it, if we buy cotton in the south, can we still buy it at the current price? "

Anyway, she has space, so put it in the space.

The family works together, who knows whether they sent the cotton to the military camp or hid it?

Mrs. Tian squinted at her granddaughter: "Bao, do you want to...??"

Qi Bao'er's big almond eyes turned into crescents at the end of the moon with a smile, stretched out a chubby finger to his lips, and gave her a 'shh'.

Grandma, as long as we understand it in our hearts, it’s boring to say it.

On this point, it was obvious that Da Lang and Qi Baoer had a very tacit understanding. After remembering everything, he first stopped the shopkeeper of the cloth shop and told him to wait aside, and then dragged Qi Baoer to the other side.

"Sister, how much money do you have left? No, how much money do you have left after Dad and the others?"

"Do what?"

"Sister ha, I think so, after we settle down, we have to live, and the new home has to be cleaned up, right? If the imperial court throws it away for us in a poor place, then we have to rebuild the house, right?

This is money everywhere.

Sister, you can borrow some money from my brother. The price of cloth here is cheaper than that in our town. I want to buy some for you. I will give you the money and rent your land. When we settle down, we will resell it. go out. "

Ouch, her elder brother has passed away.

However, "Brother, you are not taking the imperial examination?"

Once you are in business, you will be cut off from the imperial examination.

Dayang returned it with the disdainful eyes that Qi Baoer had seen him before, "Let our father sell it, and the profit earned is [-]% for my father and [-]% for my father."

Oh hoo, this has established a dealer model.

"Brother, you forgot, you still have 5000 taels with me."

This time Da Lang didn't insist on not wanting it, he thought for a while and said: "Sister, you borrowed from brother, brother, go and ask how much cloth is in the cloth shop, can you put it down?"

"Not sure." She only has ten acres of land, and she has to make room for cotton and grain, which both take up space.

"Then go ask first."

Da Lang ran to chat with the cloth shopkeeper again.

Qi Bao'er didn't ask or stop her. In the end, Da Ling took 1000 taels from her. The shopkeeper of the cloth shop was obviously not as strong as the original family's backer. He was doing ordinary cloth shop business, and the total number of goods in the store was only 900. Come two, he has already cleared some, and he gave up some more, and Da Lang wrapped up the rest of him, and it was only [-] taels.
