Ji always follows him along the way. After Xu Qing and Li Changting, he turns around and sees the naked children and the thin adults. Ji always has a bad feeling in his heart.
During the drought, he went to hide with the Fu family. For more than a year, he was well protected by the Fu family. He didn't worry about food and drink, and had a leisurely life. When he came back again, the disaster was over, and the bustle of the city was gradually restored.
So Ji didn't feel much about the natural disaster period. It was only when he saw the people here that he realized that he had been very happy before.
Ji Lao wants to do something, but when he comes, he doesn't bring anything except wine. Although the wine is good, it's impossible.
It's really frustrating to see the apprentice offer his love in front of him, but he can't do anything.
After Xu Qing and Li Changting went back, Wang Dachuan immediately came to thank them.
So many eggs really cost brother Li and his sister-in-law. Wang Dachuan was also ashamed. He felt that he was a villain in the beginning.
When he came, Wang Dachuan also picked up two half catties of fish. He said that he had just gone to the river to catch them in the morning. Then he asked Li Changting whether he could exchange fish for some wine.
Yesterday's wine made him have a lot of aftertaste. He wanted to ask Li Changting if he could sell it, but he didn't have much money. The fish in the river was the most precious thing in their stockade.
Two fish a little more than a catty, just caught is still alive, finally changed two catties of good wine, Wang Dachuan has been very satisfied, this wine he should save slowly drink.
Perhaps in the morning, Xu Qing won everyone's favor by sending eggs. At noon, many people returned gifts. They didn't have any good things, that is, some Chinese goods, sun dried mushrooms, hawthorn, nuts and so on.
A small number of each person, which adds up to a lot.
In the afternoon, two little apprentices and their assistants went to eat grass with their horses. When they came back, they saw a figure in front of their house.
Aware of someone behind him, the figure turned and took a look, suddenly ran away quickly.
The little apprentice went out with Xu Qing in the morning, so the person he recognized was the child in the tree cave, but he didn't know why he came here and what he wanted to do stealthily.
The three men went over and were about to enter the yard when they suddenly saw a small fish with a long palm in front of the gate. The mouth of the fish was tied up by a straw rope. It was obvious that someone had left it here.
But how could fish be so precious food to be discarded casually? They thought of the tree hole child who had just run away. Did he send it?
The little apprentice picked up the little fish on the ground and told Xu Qing. Xu Qing was very surprised after hearing this. Although he was not sure that it was really the child who sent it, he was not far away.
Thinking of the child's ice skate like eyes, Xu Qing has an idea in his heart.
"What's the matter with brother Li calling me here?" Wang Dachuan excitedly ran over and carefully took the tea Li Changting gave him. He took a sip of it and was shocked by the fragrant tea.
A cup of tea from brother Li's family is so delicious that Wang Dachuan feels more and more in his heart that brother Li must be the young master of a rich family!
To make friends with such a person is just a stroke of luck!
Wang Dachuan thinks that he is poor and has nothing to plan for. If other people saw them in such a poor place, they would have been reluctant to leave for a long time. Brother Li didn't dislike him and regarded him as a friend. Wang Dachuan said in his heart that it was false that he was not moved.
Xu Qing said: "the mountain goods you sent this noon are very good. I want to talk about a business with you, so please come to discuss it."
Wang Dachuan puzzled: "what business?"
Xu Qing: "I have channels for purchasing poultry and livestock. I don't think it's easy for you here. If you want to buy and don't have money, I can consider bartering with you."
Wang Dachuan was stunned for a while before he reacted. A strong surprise burst out on his face: "really?! You What do you mean, we trade mountain goods for your poultry and livestock? "
Xu nodded in affirmation: "of course, you can exchange other good things with me."
Restraining his excitement, Wang Dachuan asked, "do you have many poultry and livestock? How much can we exchange?"
Xu Qing: "two hundred are still available, provided you can afford it."
When Wang Dachuan heard this, he calmed down, thought about it, and asked, "how is that
Xu Qing took out the mountain goods delivered by everyone at noon and said to Wang Dachuan, "for example, these mushrooms can be exchanged for a one month old chick after being dried in the sun, but you must ensure that each mushroom is large and complete. I don't want the small and incomplete ones."
"Tea, honey, tea oil, bamboo shoots, etc. can be exchanged with me. I will give you a detailed list of the specific exchange ratio and requirements for the goods later."
Wang Dachuan nodded. In fact, these things Xu Qing said are more precious to them, but no matter how precious they are, they can't compare with poultry. You know, everyone is crazy to eat a mouthful of meat."Did you bring the poultry?" Wang Dachuan asked.
Xu Qing shook his head: "no, it's three days' journey from Fanzhou city. It's not too far. If you take people to find me directly in Fanzhou City, I'll get the goods ready, but if I'm not satisfied with the goods you bring, I won't exchange them with you."
Wang Dachuan scratched his head when he heard the speech: "what kind of satisfaction is that?"
Xu Qing: "while I'm still here, you can give me a look, so you don't know."
Wang Dachuan laughs: "also right!"
And three or two dried mushrooms can be exchanged for a chick, it's not too cheap!
Xu Qing continued: "in addition, I hope you don't continue to be mountain bandits, or sooner or later you will be cleaned up by the Yamen. Now every state and city just can't make room for it. In a year's time, this official road will be rectified. Sooner or later, you will have bad luck."
Wang Dachuan felt bitter after hearing the speech. Although he thought what Xu Qing said was reasonable, he couldn't help what life forced him to do.
Xu Qing: "if you want to find a way to make a living, I have a suggestion."
As soon as Wang Dachuan listened, he looked forward to Xu Qing: "you said."
Xu Qing: "on the official road connecting Shengzhou City and Fanzhou City, you are basically in the center. There is such a long road before the two cities, where there is no village in front and no shop in the back. Those pedestrians and traders can't find a place to rest and eat."
"So I think you can set up an inn, a restaurant or some stalls at the foot of the mountain to provide food, clothing, shelter and transportation for those passing by. When you gradually remember that there is a place to rest here, people will naturally choose to rest here."
