The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 141 Unloading
Guard Shen, who only brought two people out to unload the truck, was dumbfounded when he saw it: "Sixth son, go and call for more people!"

The torches in the courtyard were lit up, the little girls helped the adults light the torches, and the men and women all went to collect things from home.

Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Fan also trotted down and joined the moving team. Jingli stopped them and said, "Grandma, just take a rest. There are so many of us, can we not finish moving these things? It's dark. The road is slippery, don’t turn around and fall!”

Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Fan didn't insist on it. They were getting old when they were old. Don't make trouble for others. If they really fell down, their children would still have to serve a few bad old ladies of their own. Wouldn't that be troublesome?
Mr. Jing tremblingly lifted the oilcloth covering the car, and his mouth was suddenly open enough to fit a big duck egg in. Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Fan also stared wide-eyed.

The first car was full of snow-white and fine cotton. The delivery boy said to the old man and the old lady: "This is because that man is very capable. No one else dares to sell so much cotton. The cotton these days is all sold out." The army has taken care of you, old man, this relative of yours is really like this!"

The clerk gave a thumbs up and quickly helped unload the truck. The shopkeeper said that there must be something to do when you get there. People like this may have some big business to do in the future.

Before the old man and old lady came back to their senses, they heard Xiao Cuiniang's exclamation again. Her mother-in-law couldn't help scolding her: "What are you saying? You don't want to see good things, do you? Turn around and wake up the other side. Don't be jealous." Us!"

Xiao Cuiniang was scolded by her mother-in-law, but she was very happy in her heart. Anyone could see the pile of fabrics that almost collapsed the mule cart. They were all made of coarse fabrics and some fine cotton fabrics. There was no need for it now. I was worried that the items were so good that my mother-in-law was reluctant to take them out because she had to pack them at the bottom of the box. At least I was able to make some New Year clothes for her son instead of picking up other people’s old clothes.

When Jingli saw these fabrics, he couldn't help but admire that Uncle Xiaozhan was a man who lived a good life. He was simply a housekeeper with both coarse and fine details. He knew that the villagers spent a lot of money on making silks and satins. After turning around twice, it was over and I was stuck at the bottom of the box. This thick cotton fabric is so good, it is stain-resistant and wear-resistant, and I feel comfortable wearing it.

Chef Fan was helping the children unload the truck. As soon as he lifted the oilcloth, he was shocked by the truck of grain. What a good boy!At the turn of the year, the price of food is one every day. When you see these ordinary people in the food shop, their nostrils are turned upward. Thanks to Jingli, you have to stock up in advance. You can afford to buy food early, otherwise there will be no famine in the spring. .

But how are so many grains sold?How much money had to be spent and how much favor was required to buy so much food!

Zhao Orion was also sighing. His cart was different from Chef Fan's cart. They were all made of polished rice and white flour. God, the landlord's family might not be able to eat white noodles every day these days. It's so hard to have so much white flour.
Forget it, Hunter Zhao didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't know how to do it. After all, Ahli girl is a calculating person. There must be a reason for her to buy this grain.

But, if you buy so much cotton, cloth and food, there must be another war!

Mr. Jing opened the last car and thought the same thing. There was a car full of pens, ink, paper, inkstones, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and half a car full of salt. The daily necessities were so complete. Could it be that there was going to be another war? ?

The men and young people in the village didn't think so much. As long as they had food on their backs, they were willing to carry it until dawn and they were exhausted. They didn't care about the old man's uneasy mood.

Jing Li was still directing the people moving things: "Please note that the cotton cloth must be propped up with something at least one foot above the ground. Over there, ask Doctor He to prepare some rat poison, and stay away from the kitchen." , be sure to set fire and prevent moisture and mice.”

"Pay attention to the paper and pen and ink. Find a place to put them down first, and put them on top again tomorrow."

Seeing that Jing Li was very busy, Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Fan walked around the crowd, pulled Mrs. Zhang and Widow Qin and walked inside.One end was busy unloading, while the other end, Wan Baoquan and Jing Dafu, greeted several drivers into the yard.

"Brothers, come here and have a sip of hot soup. It's not easy to come here. Although it's all about making money, we are also people who often live abroad, so we know it's not easy."

The waiters were very excited. There are not many good people like this these days. Many customers had their goods delivered to their homes, but they had to be moved to the warehouse. If they didn't pay attention, they would scold them or not pay the bill. Who told us It’s about working hard to make money!
Just after taking two sips of hot tea to calm down a little, two and a half young men came and brought hot gnocchi soup and Huyou cake. This gnocchi soup was prepared for Jingli and the others, but they knew how to unload the truck, so they had to pay for it. Get some food and give it to these guys to warm up first.

The guys were drinking noodle soup and eating flatbread, feeling like they were alive again. They were driving in the wind and snow, but it would be a lie to say it wasn't cold.

Wan Baoquan and Jing Dafu were having a meal with them. They had a rough idea of ​​which shops they were in, what the temperament of the owners were like, and whether it was worth dating. They wondered in their hearts, if this was a last resort, could these owners give any advice? goods.

The snowflakes were flying bigger and bigger at night, and the slopes were already covered with a layer of white. People at the gate of the courtyard were still busy.

The yard is not idle either. All the grains in the front are placed in the cellar, but there are too many cellars to put them in at the moment. It is too cold to dig a cellar now, so we might as well put it in the hay house to deal with it first.

The woman quickly cleared out a few rooms where fodder was usually kept, cleaned them, and put pesticides to prevent insects, ants, and mice.

The man spent the night bringing over the boards he had sawed on weekdays, placing stones underneath them, laying a layer of boards on top, and then placing grain on them.

There are two people who need to repair the door. The room where the fodder is stored does not have a door to begin with. Two broken boards are enough to block the snow from drifting in. Now that the food is stored, the door must be strengthened to make it safe.

The old blacksmith and Fan Ershao used a ladder to hammer a layer of oilcloth over the roof. They then took a detour outside and lit torches on the roof to reinforce and thicken the thatch. They were too poor this year to build a brick house. As a result, there was no place to store the food when it came.

There is strength in numbers, and while the guys in the house are eating and chatting, the outside has been cleaned up, the cars have been cleaned, and even the animals pulling goods have been fed with water and fodder.

Wan Baoquan took the lead guy's hand and said, "Brother, I really want to keep you here for one night and go back tomorrow. It's freezing cold and we're exhausted. Brother, I'm really worried."

The eldest brother patted Wan Baoquan on the shoulder: "Brother, I know you are really nice, but you are out on business, and my mother-in-law will miss you very much if you don't go back. Okay, don't give it away, go back, it's very cold!" "
