Chapter 63 Stampede Incident
Before the door opened early in the morning, Xu Qian was waiting at the gate without knocking, just sitting on the open space in front of the door.

At the same time, there were villagers waiting to sell cotton, forming a circle around them.

"Xu Qian, is what you said true?" Everyone also came here after hearing Xu Qian say that Miss Mu wanted to collect cotton, and the price was also high.

It was already at this time, and the door was still not opened, everyone began to doubt whether what Xu Qian said was true.

Where in the world is there such a good thing?Could it be that Xu Qian was lying to them.Everyone felt that this was the case.

"What I said is naturally true." Xu Qian said confidently.How could Miss Mu's words be false?Didn't she really charge no money when she said she wanted to see a doctor for free?

"What time is it, why haven't you seen Miss Mu yet?" Someone questioned.

"Miss Mu is from the city, and gold is precious, can she get up and go to the ground in the middle of the night like us mud-legged people?" Xu Qian said. "Besides, there is not much work in the field now, and almost all the cotton that should be harvested has been harvested. Do you still care about waiting so long?"

After listening to Xu Qian's words, everyone felt that it was the same thing.There is no entertainment in the village, there is no work to do, and everyone is sitting and chatting in small groups. For them, there is really no loss.

"Then let's wait a little longer."

……

Stretching, Cai'er opened the door as usual.

"Oh, my God, miss—" Cai'er shouted in surprise.

Knowing that someone is coming to sell cotton today, Xiao Weiqing specially asked Cai'er to open the gate, lest other people dare to come in because the gate is closed.

Halfway across the yard, Xiao Weiqing had already heard Cai'er's voice.Why is this girl always surprised.

"This girl is crazy." Xiao muttered softly, leading the little bun towards the door.

"Miss Cai'er, they are all here to sell cotton." Xu Qian has lived in the house for a few days, and he is familiar with Cai'er, except for the first day, when Cai'er ignored them, Later, Cai'er's attitude was fine.

Selling cotton, it took Cai'er a long time to remember that the lady wanted to buy cotton, and the lady didn't explain how to do it in detail, so she was a little at a loss for a while.

"Cai'er, invite everyone in." Compared to Cai'er, Xiao Qingwei was much calmer when he saw the scene at the door.It's not like she hasn't seen the scene of grandpas and aunts moving benches to queue at the entrance of the supermarket before dawn when the supermarket was promoting promotions in her previous life.

"Since you're here, why don't you knock on the door?" Xiao Qing asked Xu Qian.

"I was afraid Miss Mu was still sleeping, so I didn't knock on the door because I was afraid of disturbing you." Xu Qian came to the door and sat at the door at five o'clock. If it wasn't because he didn't have any money, he might have already started buying.

All of a sudden, everyone scrambled to squeeze in.

"It turns out that what that kid Xu Qian said is true, this year is really lucky."

"Yes, yes, Miss Mu is a fairy-like person, she must have been sent by heaven to save us."

"Everyone should remember Miss Mu's kindness, but don't forget Miss Mu's great kindness today." Most of the people in the village have already given up.

The merchants who bought cotton in previous years have not come this year, and I don't know if they will come again.

I don't know how much cotton Miss Mu will buy this year. In the past, the merchants who bought cotton did not purchase unlimitedly, but had a fixed number. After the fixed number, if there was more, they would not want it.

Those among them who had suffered this kind of loss were all afraid that Miss Mu had collected enough, and it would not be their turn, so they pushed forward desperately.

Looking at everyone's behavior, Xiao frowned slightly. Is this going to stage an ancient stampede?The more they squeeze forward, the more unfavorable the acquisition will be.

"Don't be impatient, everyone, and listen to me." Xiao slightly raised his voice and said. "You don't have to squeeze forward, just line up in the order you came."

"Miss Mu, how much cotton do you plan to buy?" The person who asked the question was a thin half-sized man, who stood relatively back, nervously, stretched his neck and looked forward, afraid that the cotton in his hand Cotton cannot be sold.

It turned out that he was afraid that he would not be able to sell it. After understanding the key points, Xiao Weiwei said loudly again: "Don't worry, everyone. I will buy the cotton you send."

With Xiao Qingqing's guarantee, everyone started to line up in an orderly manner.

Everyone used bullock carts to pull the cotton over, and one person really couldn't move much.

Xiao Qingqing took out the scale that he had prepared in advance, it was the kind made of wood, it seemed to use the principle of leverage, Xiao Qingqing didn't quite understand it.She only saw others use this kind of name, but she didn't know how to use it.

The weighing part was handed over to Xu Qian, and Cai'er gave the silver at the side.Yesterday Xiao Weiwei went to the bank to exchange enough silver coins.

Xiao Qingwei was keeping accounts, and Xiao Baozi had already slipped away to play somewhere.

The farmers here are very simple, and the cotton is very dry in the sun, unlike some modern cotton growers, who can squeeze out water when selling cotton.

The cotton that has been weighed is put aside.As time went by, Xiao Weiwei found that a lot of cotton had been put on the ground, and thought that this would not work, not only would it affect the purchase, but after everyone left, the cotton would have to be transported to the room, and it would be a waste of time.

"Everyone stop, I need a few people to help me move the cotton to the house for storage, who is free?" Xiao asked softly.

"I, I'm free—"

"I'm free too—"

Everyone expressed that they were free. Anyway, they were waiting in line anyway, and there was nothing wrong with them. It was no problem to help the leader.

Xiao Qingqing saw Chen Shuanzi at a glance, and she also knew Chen Shuanzi, and she even asked Chen Shuanzi about the cotton market.

"Chen Shuanzi, help me organize and put all the collected cotton in that row of houses." Xiao said softly.The house over there was prepared by Xiao Qingwei to store cotton. Cotton is not heavy, but it is very bulky. Xiao Qingqing and Cai'er have already cleaned the room.

When the previous owner of this house built the house, they even laid a wooden floor, which made Xiao Qingqing very happy, and she didn't have to think about whether to lay things on the ground.

"Just pour out the cotton, and return the sack to everyone." Xiao added softly.

The life of the villagers is not easy. Although a sack is worthless, it is still bought with money. The bags of each family have their own marks, unlike modern times, which use fertilizer bags to store food.

"Okay, brothers, come with me." Fearing that there would be too many people, Chen Shuanzi just called a few strong men to carry the cotton.Although it is large in size, how heavy is a bag of cotton?For these lads, it is very easy to carry two bags in one hand.

The purchase of cotton was going on in an orderly manner, Xiao Qingqing kept a pen and book, watching the sun getting higher and higher.

"It's noon, everyone go back to eat first, and come back in the afternoon." His stomach had already started to protest, and Xiao gently called out to stop.
