Chapter 225: Back to the Village (1)
"Ahh Wolf! ā
"Recognize the wolf, don't mess with it, it will be bitten."
"Ah, I know, you're Qi Ke!" A child woke up from the fright of seeing the wolf and pointed at Qi Ke and yelled.
"Yo? Have you heard my name? How clever. ā
"You took a dog and beat away a group of men, and the news has already spread."
"Then do you know that I was later accused of being in the yamen and imprisoned for several days?"
"I know, it's the big family surnamed Shen in the county, in fact, they want to rob your Zhuangzi to hurt you so much, we all know it."
"Well, yes, I was bullied, but fortunately, Master Qian Zongbai saw everything and returned my innocence, he is really a good person."
"That's it! Master Bai is amazing! When the children talked about Bai Qing, they looked at each other, and one of them was very longing, "My father said, let me practice martial arts well, and when I grow up, I will be qualified to go to Master Coba's personal army." ā
"The ambition is so high, then you have to work hard."
"That's nature!"
Qi Ke chatted with the children all the way to the village, and soon saw a lot of new villagers, and the children quickly introduced Qi Ke to everyone, and then introduced everyone they met to Qi Ke.
When Qi Ke walked to the gate of her Zhuangzi, she basically figured out the family situation of the first batch of newly relocated military households, she now has an excellent memory, and she has no face blindness, and she remembers all the villagers who greeted each other.
"You've helped me a lot, wait for me, I'll get you some snacks."
"No, no, I'm so sorry, we're not here for this." The children squirmed and said, all of them were indeed full of embarrassment.
"This is not good, it is not in line with my principles of dealing with people, even if you have no intention, but it is also very busy for me, otherwise it will take me at least a few days to find out how many new villagers have come to the village." Qi Ke turned over and dismounted, rubbing the king who ran to his feet, "If you think that saying a few words is not helpful, then do you want to help me lead the mules and horses into the yard and unload the cargo bags?" I have to pay for my hard work. ā
"This ......," the children hesitated, "it's nothing to help you place the mules and horses, they are all from the same village, and they should help each other." ā
"You know, the laborers who unload goods on the wharf in the county earn a penny by carrying a bag, and you see that I have so many bags, more than 30 yuan, don't you want to earn? Of course, there are many of you, and the copper coins are not easy to divide equally, so I can exchange them for the equivalent sugar, oil, salt, or something else. What do you want? I've got both, I'm a part-time merchant. "Qi Ke doesn't want to take advantage of the child in vain, it's better to exchange it at the same price.
The children's eyes lit up and their faces were happy, "Sugar? Can you change sugar? ā
"Yes, according to the price of brown sugar in the county, more than 30 yuan can buy three catties."
"Three pounds?!"
"So much?!"
"Brown sugar is cheap, ten wen a catty, and white sugar is thirty wen a catty."
"IāI'll change sugar!" A boy who looked to be eight or nine years old stepped forward and reached for Qi Ke's horse, "Where do you put the mules and horses?" I'll help you get it set up. ā
"Me too! Me too! The other children followed, and with great skill and dexterity went to the reins of the mule and horse.
"Okay, come, come in."
Qi Ke opened the hidden gate, led them into the courtyard first, unloaded the bags and other things in the courtyard, and then led the mules and horses to the farmland overgrown with weeds.
