Chapter 697： five cents a pound

Chapter 697

Zhou Li stretched out his hand and slapped it, and smiled.

Having food can make people feel confident.

Xi Gao slowly put things away, and when I saw a little bit of stuffing, I felt very happy.

When Awangniang came back for the second time, she brought back all kinds of sauces, even bought several kilograms of sugar and meat.

"I don't have much suet today, so I bought two kilograms. I told the boss that I will go to the city tomorrow," Awangniang said to Xi Yao after she moved the things out.

"Then I'll trouble my sister-in-law." Seeing that others were doing their best to help him buy it, Xi Yao counted some of the copper plates they brought back, and gave them ten cents each.

This was mentioned before, Awangniang took the first one, and the rest did not refuse.

Because he had to sort things out, Xi Yao didn't keep anyone.

After they all left, Xi Yao started to get busy...

Suet needs to be practiced, otherwise the weather will be bad.

Pig trotters need to be handled, otherwise dirty ones cannot be eaten.

"This pig's trotter will be eaten at night, and I'll make some noodles for you later," Xi Yao mentioned this, thinking of eggs, and reminded Zhou Li, "Write it down tomorrow, tell Awangniang, and help us buy some. Eggs, otherwise there will be nothing to eat at home!"

"Oh!"

Xixi hasn't been sorted out yet, and the villagers of Aozi Village went down the mountain with peppers on their backs.

It was really on the back, and there were baskets. Xi Yao's eyes widened when he saw it, and he was surprised.

"Where did you get this?" She thought it was just a little bit, but she didn't expect there to be so many.

"It's in the mountains, a large area, but you have to go far!" Father Awang said, wiping his sweat.

Xi Yao's eyes were fiery, "Is there anything else in there?"

Father Awang was embarrassed for a moment, and hesitantly said: "If we go further, it will be the boundary of Nanliang Kingdom!"

"That's it!" Xi Yao regretted.

"It's fine if no one goes up the mountain. If someone goes up the mountain, I'm afraid there will be a bigger conflict!" Father Awang said with a little struggle.

Although he is only a farmer in Aozi Village, because of his special location, he also knows some circumstances. If they step into the boundary of Nanliang Kingdom and are discovered, their lives will be lost.

"Then there's no need to go!" Xi Yao said decisively.

This matter, I still have to discuss it with Zhou Rong. If possible, let them arrange people to enter the mountain.

If the villagers go into the mountains, she can't afford it if she gets hurt.

Dad Wang was relieved but regretted!

Xi Yao originally thought that if he was paid, twenty wen a day would be enough.

But seeing them go into the mountains for so long, and then carrying them back is also very hard, thinking that these peppers are very important now, and they can't treat them badly, so I said: "These peppers are not necessarily only found in the mountains, you can look for them carefully, and also Don't make any noise, I promise you five pennies a pound!"

"Five cents per pound?" Several villagers looked at each other and shouted in disbelief.

Because Xi Yao was kind to the children in the village, they knew that was what she wanted, and in order to earn a salary, they picked it up and memorized it seriously, not even caring about the herbs.

This herb digging is still based on luck. Some people may not have a few pennies after a busy day. Therefore, Xi Yao's promise made them a little overwhelmed.

Because of the fact, they didn't carry less than 10 kilograms back, but Awang's father was even more, probably more than 30 kilograms.

It counts...they couldn't help but gasp.

"This... this can't be done!" Awang's father objected first: "We know that the girl has a good heart, and this is not a valuable thing, just give you hard money!"
