Chapter 48

Sun Deqiu and Tang Gaoming shuttled through the crowd, kept counting the specific number of tents needed, and then hurriedly walked to where Jia Nian was.

Under the setting sun, there was a loud shout, and Gu Enze and others carried the tent and strenuously headed towards the thatched cottage.

One after another tents are placed on both sides, and there are no less than twelve tents when you look up, which is quite spectacular from the outside.

"Village Chief" Sun Deqiu came over and yelled at Jia Nian: "I just checked and I need 65 tents."

"In other words, we still lack 50 tents," Jia Nian subconsciously said upon hearing Sun Deqiu's reply.

Sun Deqiu nodded his head: "Well, there is still a shortage of fifty pieces."

"Deqiu, Gaoming, take these people to my house and bring out three dendrobiums of corn." Jia Nian looked around at the crowd and saw that they were all pale and emaciated, so he asked Sun De for instructions.

A dendrobium of corn can feed a grown man for a month.If the corn is boiled into gruel, it can feed two or three adult men for a month.

Now there are 220 people here, that is to say, it should be enough to move out three dendrobium grains to cook porridge.

After all, one Dendrobium of grain can feed thirty people for a day, and if converted into one meal, it would be 60 people.In the porridge, more than a hundred people should be more than enough.

Tang Gaoming and Sun Deqiu showed puzzled eyes: "What are you doing with three dendrobium grains?"

"Make porridge," Jia Nian said to them.

The two reacted in an instant, and quickly raised their heads to look at the sky, seeing that the sun was about to set, so they didn't delay.Sun Deqiu waved to the crowd and said loudly to them: "How many of you come, come with us to move the corn."

"Two people, come with me to get the iron pot," Tang Gaoming said to everyone.

Dozens of people came out, most of them young and strong women.

Looking at the backs of those people, Jia Nian cast his eyes on Zhao Ergou, and then motioned him to take a few steps forward.

Zhao Ergou understood, and walked forward together with Jia Nian.

The two walked towards the embankment of Chaohu Lake, and then stopped, looking around the endless water surface of Chaohu Lake.Finally turning around and looking in the direction of Changhe Village, a smile appeared on the corner of Jia Nian's mouth.

Seeing the smile on the corner of Jia Nian's mouth, Zhao Ergou took the opportunity to sigh with emotion: "Changhe Village now has a bit of a village atmosphere."

"It's not easy for Village Chief Jia," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian smiled at Zhao Ergou, and then turned his attention to those elite water thieves: "Changhe Village is prosperous, but it can't compare with Guizhai."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Ergou did not reply, but showed a strong smile.

It seems that this Village Chief Jia is also a sensible person, who knows the pros and cons of doing so, and also understands why Shuizhai has nothing to fear.But that's fine too, as long as he is the God of Wealth honestly, everyone will be happy.

"I remember that Guizhai also sells tents," Jia Nian asked Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou replied without hesitation: "Mr. Jia has a good memory. Our Baifan Water Village does sell tents."

"I need fifty tops, can Guizhai offer a discount of one or two?" Jia Nian said to Zhao Ergou, with a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.

Zhao Ergou shook his head: "Actually, I really want to get a discount, but there is a strict order from the boss, and I have nothing to do."

"After all, tents are in short supply." Zhao Ergou elongated his voice.

Jia Nian showed a suspicious look: "Short for supplies?"

"Mr. Jia, please take a look." Zhao Ergou pointed in the direction of Changhe Village, and pointed at a tent: "The fifteen tents in Guicun are actually produced by our Baifan Water Village. There are countless water thieves, big and small, in Chaohu Lake. , the items they must carry when they rob houses, do you think this is not in short supply?"

"Are you guys making these tents?" Jia Nian was speechless. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the white sail pirates before, but he didn't expect to be so good at doing business.

Zhao Ergou said proudly: "Looking at the countless water thieves in Chaohu Lake, apart from our water village, there is no other one that has the strength to make tents."

"Then give me fifty tops." Since this is an exclusive business, Jia Nian didn't want to say anything, so he directly stated his needs to Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou's face turned into a flower with a smile: "Each tent costs 200 yuan, which is 2 taels."

"Fifty tents total 10000 renminbi, converted into silver is 100 liang, and converted into gold is 1 gold. May I ask Village Chief Jia, how do you plan to pay?" Zhao Ergou asked Jia Nian.

Jia Nian blurted out subconsciously: "Isn't it worth 1 tael? It's only been a few days and you've already paid 2 taels."

"During this period, a large number of refugees flooded in, and the business of water thieves exploded, so the tents began to be out of stock." Zhao Ergou explained to Jia Nian: "In the end, our own inventory of tents has bottomed out, so the boss is furious. Then the price of the tent was raised.”

"Two taels, this is too expensive," Jia Nian complained to Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou showed a embarrassed look: "The boss asked me to sell it for 2 taels and 50 yuan a cap. I think that in the face of village head Jia, I decided to lower the 50 yuan in private. I have reached the bottom line and can't lower the price anymore."

"One gold, I'll give you one gold" Jia Nian said with gritted teeth, he would be a fool to believe their nonsense, obviously he took advantage of the fire to rob, okay?

As expected of the person who has mastered Jia's savings for generations, this person is Hao.

The smile on Zhao Ergou's face became even stronger, and he continued to talk to Jia Nian: "The unit price is 2 taels per top, and we don't include free delivery."

"You mean I want me to send someone to your water village to fetch tents?" Jia Nian asked Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou nodded: "There is no profit in the tent, so I can only trouble your village to send someone to go there."

"Of course, if Guicun doesn't have time to leave, our Shuizhai also provides door-to-door delivery service," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian resisted the urge to beat up Zhao Ergou violently, and asked him, "How much does it cost?"

"Door-to-door delivery is divided into urgent and non-urgent. Non-urgent ones need 1 gold, and urgent ones need 2 gold, and you can also build a tent for you for free." Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian, as if seeing Countless glittering gold.

He paused for a while, feeling that he didn’t understand what he said, and continued to explain to Jia Nian: “If you don’t rush it, you’ll arrive tomorrow night at the earliest, and if you rush it, you’ll arrive at two hours at the latest, and you’ll be guaranteed to let all of Guicun live in the middle of the night.” into the tent"

"Okay, I'll give you three gold. I want to see fifty tents that have been set up before the end of the first night at the latest." Jia Nian gritted his teeth and said. money.

Sooner or later, you water thieves will spit back your money with interest.

Power is stronger than others, Jia Nian only dared to think evilly in his heart.To be honest, it is the most unwise choice to turn against the powerful white sail pirates, but it is the most cost-effective to take advantage of them.
