Chapter 37 Today is a good day

Exile can be said to be the most effective way to lose weight that Jiang Zhimiao has ever seen. It has been more than half a month since he confiscated his home, and even the most handsome person can become weak Liu Fufeng.

Fortunately, she prescribed a small amount of meat to a few people every now and then, so they didn't lose weight so quickly.

Mother Wen freed her hands to wipe the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves, and said happily: "Miaomiao, thank you for teaching us how to weave straw sandals, otherwise we would have had to walk barefoot."

Hearing this, Father Wen nodded and said in agreement: "Indeed, thanks to Miaomiao, we can prepare for a rainy day. It is all Miaomiao's credit."

The advantages of straw sandals are fully demonstrated at this moment. People who wear out their shoes and don’t have straw sandals can only walk barefoot. It is summer and walking barefoot in this weather is not a sin that ordinary people can bear.

The body temperature is high, and the ground temperature is even higher. To put it bluntly, if you crack an egg on it, it will be cooked in just a moment.

What's more, it's human feet, and the bare skin must not be burned. When Xu Yourong heard this, he sighed: "Indeed, thanks to Miaomiao, if it weren't for her, we would have been walking barefoot like others. Thinking about it, I'm afraid." Afraid."

Waves of heat hit them, and the three of them said happily.

-

If anything has changed during this time, it is that everything has become numb.

Although it was not very lively when he was first exiled, it was at least better than it is now. After this period of hard work, everyone looks like an old man.

Since the last incident with Jiang Mingyan, the Jiang family has not taken any action, and even Jiang Zhili, who hates Jiang Zhimiao the most, has not caused any trouble.

Come to think of it, with the horrific daily consumption and the hot weather, everyone is so tired that there is no time to cause trouble.

Today was a good day. The government officials had almost used up all the supplies. They happened to be passing by Jin County and immediately decided to go to the city to buy some.

The news of the purchase naturally caused quite a stir. Xu Yourong looked at the surging crowd and frowned: "Miaomiao, so many people want to enter the city, can we get in?"

Mother Wen also looked worried when she heard this. There were indeed too many people entering the city to supply supplies this time, and she didn't know if it would be their turn.

Seeing the sad looks of the two people, Jiang Zhimiao smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have already said hello to the Yamen Chief, and he will let us enter the city."

"But there are many of us, so we can't all go into the city. Just send one person from each family to go. I will definitely go. Who do you want to send, Aunt Wen?"

In order to have a good relationship with Wang Wu, she spent a lot of money to buy a semi-finished dagger from the plane mall and gave it to him, which was considered a relationship.

After thinking for a while, Mother Wen said with a smile: "Let Zhu Qing go. After all, his father and I are not young at all. We are not as strong as him. If you buy something heavy, you can just use him."

Wen Zhuqing nodded and looked at the excited girl. Of course Jiang Zhimiao had no objection. After arranging the two dolls, he discussed it with a few people: "It's midsummer now. You can buy a few more kettles. The day after tomorrow Getting hotter and hotter will always be used.”

Xu Yourong nodded: "Miaomiao is right, I agree, one kettle is not enough, you really need to prepare a few more."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Wen Zhuqing suggested: "I also need to buy a few changes of clothes. If the clothes are torn, I won't have anything to wear. In addition, I also need to buy some discounts."

Jiang Zhimiao nodded slightly and agreed: "Indeed, you are right, these things do need to be bought, but it would be a big loss to buy these few things when we finally waited for the opportunity. Let's think about it more."

Several people racked their brains to think about it, and after some discussion, they finally decided on the purchase list.

The purchase list is as follows: ten kettles, two sets of clothes for each person, ten fire folds, two thin quilts (small quilts), some ointments to treat bruises and hemorrhage, ten pounds of rice, ten pounds of brown sugar and ten pounds of salt. wait.

There is a standard for measuring the amount of salt the human body consumes. If the daily intake of salt is lower than this standard, the whole body will feel weak and wilted.Therefore, salt is an indispensable material in this purchase. Ten kilograms of salt is enough for them to eat for a long time. Jiang Zhimiao must get the salt.

The discussion was almost done. After Jiang Zhimiao and a few others said goodbye, they got up and walked towards the city gate.

Outside the city gate, bustling people were chattering around the government officials, begging to enter the city. However, the man was unmoved and did not even raise his eyelids. It was not until someone handed over the banknote that he raised his head and looked at it. The person who delivers the banknote.

The man smiled flatteringly and complimented, and the officer nodded reluctantly. After threatening him as usual, he told the gathering time, then he took off the man's shackles, wrote down his name, and let him in. city.

After the man was freed from restraints, he ran non-stop towards the city gate. Time waited for no one. If he entered the city early, he could buy more.

Seeing this, the others followed the example of their predecessors and handed over their banknotes before entering the city.

However, the number of people entering the city was also limited. After collecting banknotes from about ten people, the yamen servant stopped accepting money from anyone and completely ignored the banknotes they handed over.

The remaining people saw that he refused to give up, so they had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​entering the city and left sadly. Fortunately, it was the peak period for entering the city, and the queue to enter the city was very long. The people who had set out before had not yet entered, so they You can also ask them to help carry it.

These more than ten people are from various families, and they naturally do not respond to the requests of the clan members. Of course, the premise of all this is that they have bought their own things first.

Jiang Zhimiao had already greeted Wang Wu, so naturally she was not among the ten people. The Jiang family wanted her to take them, but they had to give up the idea due to her majesty.

It was said that they would meet in an hour, but the queue alone lasted for a quarter of an hour. The entrance fee was four cents, and Jiang Zhimiao and his wife had no copper coins, so they had to use the scraps of silver that Wen Zhuqing brought to find them.

This ingot of silver weighed a lot, probably about five taels, and the officers and soldiers who collected the city entry fee searched for it for a long time before they found it.

After entering the city, Wen Zhuqing looked at the crowded streets and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Jiang Zhimiao pointed to the cloth shop in front of her: "The cloth shop is the closest, let's go buy new clothes first." Wen Zhuqing nodded and stepped up to keep up with her.

Seeing that there were not many people outside, who knew that the store was so crowded that he couldn't even squeeze in. Jiang Zhimiao saw that there was nowhere to go, so he pulled Wen Zhuqing out of the store.

Not to mention grabbing things with a group of uncles and aunties, it is really not something that normal people can grab. Their fighting power is really amazing.

Normally they walk crookedly, but unexpectedly when they grab things, their legs are no longer lame and their hands are no longer shaking. They are stronger than young people. They are really powerful and put Jiang Zhimiao to shame.

She said, why are there so many people in this cloth shop? It has been a big opening deal for a long time. All customers who come into the store, regardless of the amount, will get a [-]% discount. No wonder it is so crowded.

The first stop at the cloth store was rejected, so Jiang Zhimiao had no choice but to look for the next stop. She felt that she could not rob things with anyone but uncles and aunts. It was a sin!This is!

She looked at the sky where the sun was shining, then at the crowded streets, then turned to look at the young man beside her.

"How about we divide our forces into two groups, so that we can be more efficient. You are responsible for buying food and medicine, and I am responsible for buying daily necessities."

Wen Zhuqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Then we'll meet at the city gate in an hour?" After saying that, the two parted ways.

When Wen Zhuqing turned around, Jiang Zhimiao reminded: "If you still have time, just buy some things you need. After all, I don't know when I will go to the city next time. If time permits, just buy some things you need." buy it."

Wen Zhuqing nodded and said yes, then disappeared into the crowd.
