Chapter 5: The Lively Gaofeng City
Wu Hongsheng does things and never grinds.
He said that he would take Wu Guifang to the county seat, and that morning, he brought the only donkey in the family.
Seeing the donkey at home, Wu Guifang was a little surprised.
"Brother Hongsheng, you brought this donkey over, don't those children have no help?"
This female donkey, who is no longer young, is a very important labor force in the family. Weekday ploughing, delivery, grinding, all rely on it!
If you don't have it at home, you won't be able to keep busy with all that mess.
Wu Hongsheng listened to Wu Guifang's words, and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry." ”
"You have bad legs and feet, I can't let you follow me to the county seat together."
Without waiting for Wu Guifang to say anything, Wu Hongsheng strode up to her, hugged her waist, and picked her up from the ground at once.
After letting her sit firmly on the poor donkey's back, Wu Hongsheng took the rope and led it forward.
……
Less than a hundred miles away from Wujia Village, where they are now located, there is a county town that is not small in scale.
This county seat is called Gaofeng City.
There are probably more than 4,000 households living there.
The walls of this Gaofeng City look mighty and tall. Wu Guifang conservatively estimated it, and she found that the outer city wall of Gaofeng City was almost more than 20 meters high. That's the equivalent of six or seven stories tall. Compared to the outer walls, the inner walls are lower. However, it is almost 10 meters tall.
When Wu Guifang came all the way, he was sitting on a donkey. She's not tired.
It's the buttocks, the blood doesn't circulate, and it's a little swollen.
After paying a few pennies to enter the city, Wu Hongsheng led the donkey, took Wu Guifang with him, and walked on the bright streets of the county.
Wu Guifang learned from Wu Hongsheng's mouth that there were almost more than 50,000 people in this small Gaofeng City.
Its main road is laid out in four vertical and four horizontal.
Commerce is very developed.
On this street, there are grain shops and pawnshops. There are also restaurants that sell a variety of meals.
In addition, it was full of merchants from all over the world, and there were some young men carrying two loads and selling them around in the crowd.
"Sell rice balls~, sell rice balls~, delicious sesame rice balls! It's big and round! ”
"Sharpen kitchen knives, pruning knives! Fix the bright scissors! ”
……
Although Wu Guifang knew from the memory in his mind that the original body had been here before. And it came 20 years ago.
However, what she saw through a memory was completely different from when she experienced it herself.
In the crowd, seeing this lively and lively character back and forth, her eyes unconsciously showed yearning and curiosity.
What kind of ancient county town it was, she didn't have any idea before.
It was only on the TV that she saw the scenes filmed by modern people.
"Brother Hongsheng, what should we buy now?"
Just now, Wu Hongsheng didn't know for what purpose, so he took her to a jewelry street in this county town and walked around.
The things sold there are precious!
The glittering gold jewelry, the glittering silver bracelets, each of them is very expensive.
Not to mention those, brilliant and dazzling emerald pearls.
Wu Guifang is not a person who has never seen the world. When she used to be a counter sister, she visited various jewelry stores with her colleagues.
I have also visited various luxury stores.
However, the shock that those things gave her was definitely not as deep as what she felt now.
Because now, she has nothing and no money.
What else does she have but the tatters of her building?!
Can paper shells be sold for money?
Can cans be sold for money?
And the dirty old clothes, can they be sold for money?
……
Wu Guifang followed Wu Hongsheng and walked in the slums of the county seat, racking her brains to think about these things.
Soon, it really made her think of an opportunity to make a fortune!
It's just that she's a little unsure, can she do this idea?
Only after she followed Wu Hongsheng and bought all the food and everything, on the way back, could she discuss it with him.
Gaofeng City, which has more than 4,000 households, has a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
Rich people are very rich.
People who don't have money are also quite moneyless.
Even though the economy is developed here, the main two streets are full of shops facing the street, and it is very profitable. However, the vast majority of people here can only barely make ends meet.
Wu Hongsheng didn't have much money in his hands, so he could only go to the southwest area of Gaofeng City, that is, the slums here, to find some small merchants and vendors here to buy some good things.
For example, old rice that has been left for several years. Another example is the soybeans that someone brought from the north.
However, the quality of this soybean is not good. It's already moldy and rotten.
Wu Guifang noticed that Wu Hongsheng wanted to buy these things as rations for a large family, but she didn't agree at that time.
How can you eat these things?
It's all moldy, and it's all Aspergillus flavus, which is poisonous, and after eating too much, it's easy to get liver cancer!
She doesn't want to eat this!
After pulling Wu Hongsheng out of the big shop, Wu Guifang looked at him with a serious face and said, "Brother Hongsheng, I don't want to eat these things just now."
"They're all moldy! I ate ...... that tends to have diarrhea."
When Wu Hongsheng heard this, there was no surprise on his face. He nodded and said gently.
"I didn't buy these rough foods for you. It's for our whole family. Don't worry, every time you eat, I cook for you alone. Those are fresh rice. It is I who secretly save it from Gongmiri every time. ”
Hearing this, Wu Guifang was dumbfounded.
She thought to herself, this man is so good to the original body, no wonder her sons, and several daughters-in-law, including her younger brother and daughter-in-law, are not used to her!
In a group, they all suffer from inequality.
Obviously they are all poor families, she is the most special alone, and she eats the best, and she doesn't attract relatives to hold grudges, so it's called a strange thing!
As soon as she thought of this, Wu Guifang raised her hand and gently pulled the hem of Wu Hongsheng's clothes.
Seeing him lower his head, Wu Guifang pretended to cough his throat and whispered to him, "Brother Hongsheng, come with me now." ”
Feeling as if she had something important to say, Wu Hongsheng nodded.
After Wu Guifang took Wu Hongsheng out of the alley just now, she told him directly.
"Brother, this time, let's not buy moldy grain, buy more oil, okay?"
Wu Guifang knows that oil is very expensive. However, how could she, a person who was accustomed to eating oil, eat things without oil and salt?
