Chapter 232: Saving the Year of Famine (21)
Morning.
Mrs. Zhang's family, three sons and daughters-in-law, pushed the cart they made, and the pork on it had been decomposed.
Otherwise, there is no tool to transport a pig.
Mrs. Zhang followed with the village chief.
The village chief led the way.
Mrs. Zhang is in the array.
Without Mrs. Zhang to follow, the three sons were also flustered.
There is a village chief to lead the way, and they walk all the way.
Even six strong laborers are tired enough.
This is also thanks to Mrs. Zhang and her family, after all, they have eaten and drunk enough during these days. Compared to the village chief, these adults are indeed energetic, if they are replaced by ordinary victims, I am afraid that these wild boar meat will really not be able to push the city.
When she arrived in Fucheng, Mrs. Zhang saw the bright words "Fancheng".
When you come to the gate of the city, you can see it. The victims who fled the famine were sleeping in rows under the city walls.
There are also those who beg along the streets, and there are even those who sell their sons and daughters with straw sticks on their heads.
On the contrary, you can see the porridge shed of the government outside the city.
Judging from these aspects, the officials of this prefecture and city are still practical, and at least they will make some relief for the victims.
They can't sympathize with others.
My own family is going to starve to death, and no one has that sympathy to sympathize with others.
Pushing the pork directly into the city, when I entered the city, the situation inside the city was completely different from what the victims saw outside, and the streets inside the city were orderly and clean.
People are dressed up to be passable.
Looking at the expressions on people's faces, it can be seen that the people here are living a fairly prosperous life, so it is no wonder that many victims have come to this city.
It seems that the people here are doing well.
The merchants and people who came and went still seemed to be peaceful and prosperous.
The business is done as such, and the provincial medicine is still prosperous.
They pushed the wild boar boar, and soon attracted people's attention, and some people saw this wild boar meat and immediately became greedy, and some came up to inquire, but as soon as they heard that they were going to buy so much pork.
Many people can't afford it, so they have to turn around and leave, Mrs. Zhang, they are not ready to sell it, so many more than 1,000 catties of wild boar, if it is sold in parts, it will have to be sold for a few days, and it will not be sold out in a day, and it will not stink by then.
So they pondered for a while, and the old lady directly asked people to push the wild boar meat around the street first, and then went straight to the largest restaurant on the street.
As soon as they saw the wild boar meat placed at the door of their house, they immediately understood that they were selling it whole.
The shopkeeper's heart was happy.
But I didn't see the outside, I came out directly to bring people in, and I saw that it was an old lady who was in charge.
"Old lady, how do you sell this pork?"
"Shopkeeper, I'm not polite to you, our family is pushing wild boar, not ordinary domesticated, you also know that there have been disasters in the past few years, who still raises pigs, can afford to raise pigs, then they have to live a rich life, now there is no surplus food in the family, even people have to starve to death, where to raise pigs?
Our pigs are wild boars hunted in the mountains.
You have also seen it, my three sons are strong, go to the mountains to hunt, there is no problem, the shopkeeper, if you can collect them all, it will save us from running several stores, or we have to send them down one by one, but I don't know what price the shopkeeper will collect? ”
Mrs. Zhang is refreshing and taught her bottom clearly, the main reason is that they can't wait, the hotter the weather is, if you don't sell the pork today, it is impossible to pull the meat back, and then put it for another day, I'm afraid this meat will really stink.
The shopkeeper nodded.
"Old lady, my buddy told me a long time ago that someone was pushing wild boar meat in the streets, and I was thinking that I should ask you to come over, after all, our restaurant is in this food business, and it consumes a lot of money in a day.
Besides, our owner is not a restaurant, just in this city has opened 6 restaurants, you don't have to go out when you get to our house, you can digest it directly.
Normal pork is about 13 Wen a catty, I won't pit you, you are a wild boar, I will give you an extra 5 Wen money, 18 Wen a catty, you see if it is suitable, we will weigh the meat, leave it directly, and save the old lady You will run all over the street. ”
Mrs. Zhang glanced at the village chief.
His sons definitely don't know the market, and the village chief knows better than anyone else about the situation here in the main prefectures.
The old village chief twisted his beard when he heard this price, and couldn't help but nod, it seems that this price is not excessive.
"The shopkeeper, since you say so, then we will sell you all the meat, you let the guy weigh the meat, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and we are also waiting for this pork to be exchanged for money to buy some food."
The shopkeeper was very happy when he heard this old lady, and he said what he said, and no one made a counteroffer.
Immediately send a guy to pull the meat into the back of the restaurant.
After weighing this meat, it is a total of 1580 catties.
It's twenty-three or two-seven.
The shopkeeper directly gave 24 taels, after all, the old lady didn't pay the price at all.
Even if you add a penny, I'm afraid it's not the price.
Both parties pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
The shopkeeper also specially told the old lady.
"Old lady, your three sons are strong, at first glance, this is a good hand, if there is this kind of mountain goods in the future, send them directly to our restaurant, rest assured that the price will be negotiable."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, if you want to talk about hunting wild animals, there are really a lot of them on this mountain, if she really uses her divine sense to force these beasts out, maybe their family can really rely on this hunting to earn a lot of silver.
came out of the restaurant, carrying more than 20 taels of silver in his pocket.
The three sons felt that everyone on the street had become thieves, and they wanted to hold the silver in their arms.
"Look at your appearance, it's okay, this silver can't be hot, let's hurry up to the grain store, this silver is exchanged for grain and bring it back, this is the royal way, after all, the village is waiting for food."
Mrs. Zhang and her sons followed the village chief directly to the grain store, and when they inquired about the grain store, they learned that the price of grain had risen wildly.
In the past, one tael of silver could buy two stones of grain, but now it can be poured, and one tael of silver can only buy half a stone of grain.
And it's also coarse grains.
Even if the price rises to a sky-high price now, they have to buy it, otherwise every household in the village will not be able to hold on to the autumn harvest, not to mention others, even the old lady and their family will not be able to hold on to the autumn harvest, and Mrs. Zhang also knows that since she has said that the gods said that giving so much grain is so much grain.
I can't go out to get food without a bottom line, otherwise it won't be a slap in the face of the gods, and if the gods speak, they don't count.
How to convince ordinary people of the authority of the gods?
If it is expensive, it must be bought, so 20 taels of silver bought ten stone of grain.
Fortunately, there are not many people in the village, and if there are too many people, it will be really worrying.
Grain is loaded onto the truck.
The sons copied the guy's business directly from the car. When they came, they were afraid of robbery on the road, after all, the world is not good, and now everyone is trying to survive, and good people may become villains.
They made all the preparations, and even the homeless people at the door, at least they didn't dare to follow them blatantly.
Finally returned to the village.
