Chapter 237 Just pick it up
With enough food, everyone had a full meal and the two of them were full.
More and more refugees came here attracted by the fragrance.
Due to Hei Zai's power, no one dared to approach and could only watch from afar.
Gulp~Gulp, the sound of swallowing saliva never ceases.
When the last drop of fish soup was poured out, the refugees' eyes fell on the pot of food on the sled.
"Brother, how do you sell that vegetable?
If it's not expensive, give me one." Refugee A said, unable to resist the temptation.
"Yes, yes, let's buy one too."
"Half a pill is fine."
"Three or five leaves will do."
The refugees kept lowering their demands because they hadn't eaten green leafy vegetables for a long time.
My stomach feels really uncomfortable.
If you can find a wild vegetable at this time, no one will be willing to spend money to buy a pot of hot pot.
In their view, although green leafy vegetables are rare, they are not outrageously expensive.
When cabbage was at its most expensive, it was only two cents per head.
They can still afford a dozen cents.
...
Lin Shu raised two fingers and opened her mouth slightly.
"One catty is twenty taels of silver."
"What? Twenty taels of silver per pound, robbing someone!"
"If you can't afford it, don't act so arrogant. Don't you see what time it is now?"
Qian Duoduo held his stomach and said angrily.
“Do you know what a pot-pot dish is?
Last winter, a pot of vegetables was sold for two taels of silver per pound. Have you ever seen that? "
"What? It was sold for two taels of silver per catty last year. Why haven't I heard of it?" Refugee A scratched his ears and said in disbelief.
"Not believing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It just means you don't have enough experience."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, using her slender waist to scold all the refugees present.
In the end, the refugees who could not pay the money left angrily.
The news that green leafy vegetables were found by the river spread like wildfire.
After a cup of tea, the refugees looted the riverside.
The roots of the potted vegetables covered with snow were uprooted.
The yellow leaves that Lin Shu had thrown away changed hands several times as refugees scrambled to loot them.
Some refugees stuffed the food into their mouths without caring about anything else.
The refugees who were discovered rushed forward and strangled them by the neck and dug their mouths.
Because of a yellowing leaf, familiar people suddenly become enemies.
Some are happy, some are resentful.
Lin Shu was furious when she saw the pot of vegetables being uprooted by the refugees.
Her good intentions were really wasted.
...
"I'll buy one."
The refugees, who had plenty of money, shouted loudly.
“I’ll take one too. Money cannot be brought into this world and cannot be taken away from this world.
What's the point of keeping it with you and ending up being deserted by your friends and family?" the old woman said with a pained look.
The refugees, envious of the food, teamed up with others to buy the dishes, and more than a dozen pots of vegetables were sold out in no time.
A total of 150 taels of silver, two old quilts, three sets of old cotton-padded clothes, a kitchen knife, half a bag of cornmeal, and half a bag of black flour were obtained.
Wu Chuntao and the other two were so happy that they forgot themselves and jumped up and down in their old cotton-padded coats.
These things are the supplies they lack the most.
The kind that they couldn't even buy if they wanted to, not to mention that they didn't have any money.
The three little ones were very grateful for this and kept saying thank you to the two brothers.
Qian Duoduo, who thought he had too much money at home and had no idea where to spend it, patted his chest and made the promise.
"Brother, I will pay you back tenfold. Please write me an IOU."
"Okay, if it's overdue for three months, the amount will be doubled."
Lin Hongyi clapped his hands and it took effect.
The more cheerful Qian Duoduo is in writing the verbal check now, the more sad he will be later.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see what was going to happen in the future.
...
"Little brother, can you make me a sled?
I only have ten taels of silver, you see..."
Zheng Yingliang, who hadn't had a full meal for a long time, fell in love with the bamboo sled at first sight.
But he didn't know how to do it, so he had to ask Lin Hongyi for help.
"Ten taels of silver is a little too little."
Lin Hongyi stroked his unshaven chin, pretending to be mature and authentic.
"Since you are so filial, just give me six taels of silver."
"Thank you, little brother. I'll use it to recruit the master.
With a sled to sit on, Master won't be so tired." Zheng Yingliang said gratefully.
[He is now more energetic. What is the point of keeping such an unconscious old man? ]
Lin Shu glanced at the two of them and could only say that good people will be rewarded.
If she were to come, she would never be able to do this.
Everyone has his own destiny!
...
Zheng Yingliang pulled the sled forward step by step, leaving a trail of deep footprints.
The old man was leaning on the sled, covered with an old quilt, and playing snowballs happily.
"The path to the mountain of books is made through diligence, the boat to the boundless sea of learning is made through hard work..."
The old man, who was ignorant of the world, walked away chanting poetry.
He is just like the carefree immortal, who comes to the world for a casual visit.
It is enviable and desirable. It would be great if everyone could be so open-minded.
Lin Shu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
We work hard all our lives just for three meals a day and a bed.
Poverty and wealth are both part of life.
NONONO, the good days of the rich and idle are just...
Why should we try to understand the people's sentiments and live such a hard life?
No one is born destined to be poor.
Her wish is to be a wealthy and idle person with thousands of acres of fertile land.
Calling slaves, riding horses wildly, enjoying fine wine and handsome men.
How uncomfortable!
"Little Stone, it's time to go!"
A loud shout broke Lin Shu's sweet dream.
She wiped the corners of her mouth slyly, luckily she didn't drool.
Otherwise, it would be a huge embarrassment.
...
When the group left, a group of refugees appeared on the river bank who were unwilling to come for any benefit.
The secret that there were fish under the ice was soon revealed.
'Kang kuang kuang...'
"There are fish under the ice. There are real fish. Hahahaha."
"Lucky, it's our turn now, big brother and third brother, smash it!"
"Mom, you are still a good judge of vision.
Otherwise, how could our family catch this big fish?
Who knows, it might fall into the hands of someone who wants to eat alone again."
Zhu Xiuhua said sourly as she watched the team going away.
"I heard that tigers are full of treasures, and tiger skins and bones are the most valuable. Unfortunately, we have nothing to gain from them."
"Shut up, you lazy woman, why don't you go help collect firewood and find wild vegetables.
"You keep talking all the time, why don't you die of laziness?" Wu Sanlang said impatiently.
Hasn't this mouth caused them enough trouble along the way!
If she messes with the wrong person again, she will have to be sold out.
Can ordinary people raise a tiger?
So many people didn't make things difficult for him, but this talkative woman still coveted the tiger.
You think dying is too slow?
"Boss, let's go right away.
Don't be angry, it's so hard to get fish to eat.
If you get angry, you will have to eat one less bowl of rice, and then our family will suffer a great loss."
Zhu Xiuhua wiped her face with her sleeve, completely ignoring Wu Sanlang's warning look.
As long as there is food, it doesn’t matter if I get scolded every day.
She couldn't hear it anyway.
...
The refugees were excited when they found fish, wailed when their fish were robbed, and made a fuss when the fish were not distributed evenly.
All kinds of family dramas are played out because of a fish.
The deserted river surface suddenly turned into a vegetable market.
It's a rare opportunity to have a play delivered to her doorstep, and Lin Shu never gets tired of watching it.
When there is leftover fish, a bidding process will be implemented where the highest bidder wins.
The refugees, having tasted the sweetness, would always go to the river to look for it at noon.
It also allowed Lin Shu to make a small profit.
It’s not much, just over 1,700 taels of silver, plus two bags of coarse grains.
