Liangen explained to everyone: "They came from Chenqiao Town next door, and they said that they wanted to collect timber. Whoever has timber to sell in his house can take them to his house to see it, and if he thinks the price they give is fair, he will sell it, so that he can get some money in exchange for food. ”

  Hearing him say this, the big guys were a little moved.

  Although the timber was saved for building houses or furniture, this year's drought caused no grain to be harvested, and there was no way to go up to the mountains to hunt, and there was still a large family waiting to eat!

  You have to get through the current predicament before you can think about the future.

  Therefore, when I heard that these people collect timber at a fair price, the big guys said: "I have timber at home, I'll take you to my house to have a look!" ”

  Gan Ruixue and Gan Shuang went separately to the villagers' houses to look at the wood.

  As for the others, they have never bought wood and don't know how to judge the quality of wood, so they went to learn it together.

  Every time they arrived, the villagers had to cry about the hardships of life.

  Gan Shuang thought that when the Gan Jinrong brothers and sisters sent straw hats this morning, they said that his family could sell a thousand catties of grain, and if Gan Lin decided to ask for it, he would keep it for them.

  Ganjia Village is adjacent to the river, and there is water to irrigate the farmland, so the impact of the grain harvest is not very large. In addition to Gan Jinrong's family, there are probably many families in the village who have surplus grain to sell, right?

  Sweet Frost came up with an idea in her heart. It is better to collect grain from your own village, and then use the grain to exchange wood with the villagers of Gaoshan Village, and take what you need.

  It's just that I have to go back and discuss this idea with Gan Lin and see how much food I can buy, so I can't tell the villagers of Gaoshan Village for the time being.

  I have seen several in a row, and they are all rare good wood.

  The frost fell and reported to them the price of the timber collected in Chenqiao Town in the past.

  Everyone secretly compared the price of wood collected by the carpenter's shop in the town, and felt that the price of the frost was even higher by one percent.

  So the families didn't think about it, so they nodded and agreed to sell.

  "I didn't bring the carriage today, and I can't pull this wood back now, so I'll come back tomorrow." ”

  But the villagers didn't get the money, and their hearts were not steady, so as not to have too many dreams at night, so they took the initiative to say: "We have ox carts in our village, borrow a few ox carts to help you send the wood back." ”

  Ganshuang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then you can't ask for it." ”

  Today, I looked at six houses, and there were about five or six thousand catties of timber in total, and three ox carts were just enough to pull it out.

  Each of the six families had a strong man to drive the ox carts to help transport the timber.

  When he who sold the timber got the money, the gloom on his face instantly dissipated.

  Especially the Roots family sold the most, getting more than 50 taels of silver, and his daughter-in-law smiled. With this silver, you don't have to worry about freezing and starving this winter.

  However, those who didn't sell the timber first were all red-eyed, and pulled the two brothers of the Gan family to prevent them from leaving, "Brother, our family also has a lot of timber, all of which are good, you can go to our house and have a look!" The family is running out of food, and the elderly and children are still waiting for the food to go to the pot! You should buy my wood first, it will be ...... to be a little cheaper than them."

  Sweet Frost patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, I want the timber in your village, and the price is whatever it should be, and I won't let you suffer." I'll be back in a few days, so relax. ”
