Tian Qingan directly told the person in charge of the stay that was staying, and then drew the drawings of the crutches on the spot, making sure that the left-behind medical officer could understand it, understood what it meant, and knew how to do it.

After a good rest that day, Tian Qingan and his mother went to Qiaozhuang again the next morning, estimating that it was either today or tomorrow, and Liangzi and they should arrive.

This time there was no guest house, and I lived in an empty house provided by the village chief.

The two also went to see the selected warehouse, the walls were very thin, and it was indeed cold if there were people.

Finally, after consulting with the owner of the warehouse, it was decided to build an enclosed hemispherical fire pit in the warehouse, connecting two stoves for cooking.

The village chief helped to find someone to work in the village, and although the weather was cold and the soil was almost frozen, it was repaired before dark, and a fire was lit, and when he came over with a lantern after dinner, a hot air came to his face as soon as he entered the warehouse.

If it burns non-stop all day long, it doesn't have to be a normal house at all.

After solving the heating problem, it is to buy food, people always have to eat, food and vegetables are piled up at the door, lukewarm and hot, and the next thing is to wait for people to come.

The next morning, the mother and daughter got up early and went to the 'Ten Mile Long Pavilion' opposite the inn to wait, so as not to miss Liangzi and go directly to the capital.

The weather has been good these days, the sun is shining in the sky, there is an iron stove and a few pieces of wood in front of the two of them, and there are two layers of bamboo curtains hanging outside the pavilion, but it is not cold, but you can't see the situation outside.

But it's not a problem, the bullock cart is heavy, not one, but a dozen, or dozens.

In addition, she put a sign on the outside of the pavilion that read, in black ink, 'Shimodamura convoy stays'.

Finally, when it was almost past lunch, I waited for the convoy.

Mother and daughter took the stove in the pavilion and took them to the warehouse, which had been burning since yesterday, and was now warm.

"Don't be in a hurry to unload your things first, come in and warm up, eat first, and then talk about it after eating."

But the cows can't be frozen outside, and they are brought into the warehouse, not to mention, there are more than 20 cows, and at least 20 of them were bought in just a few days, and everyone is really working hard.

The men went to feed the cattle with hay first, and the women helped with the cooking.

Chen Qiao'e beckoned those who wanted to get the flour bags, "Let's eat soup and noodles, we have changed them in advance in the village, and if they are freezing outside, just boil the water!" ”

The old lady of the vegetable and meat is also washed and chopped in the morning, the meat has been cooked, and after the water is boiled, throw the noodles, cabbage, and minced meat into the pot, and throw the hot pot ingredients prepared in advance into the pot after boiling, and a simple pot of soup noodles will be fine.

The pot in the warehouse is not big, and dozens of people can only line up to take turns eating.

As soon as the rice in the pot is served, immediately pour water and start the third pot.

It took ten times for the two pots to fill everyone's stomachs.

Without taking a break, all the sofas on the twenty-five ox carts were removed.

There were a hundred sofas in total, and this time I didn't bring a wheelchair.

The explanation given by Liang Zi is to transport the sofa first, let Changle do it first, and the wheelchair does not need to be so troublesome, and it can be delivered directly after being transported over, and there is no need to prepare in advance.

Otherwise, Changle and the others will be idle, and they will have to be in a crazy hurry when the delivery is delivered.

That's fine.

After understanding the situation in the village, all the carts were outside, and the cattle could only be put in the warehouse first.

Fortunately, Liangzi and they will leave early tomorrow morning, so they won't delay much.

When the corresponding fabric came, some were also transported, and no one said that they wanted to rest, so they spontaneously divided into two groups, one group cut the fabric under the leadership of the old lady, and the other group was responsible for sewing.

Of course, all such precious materials as fur are made by the old lady, and only the old lady has ever touched this.

Tian Qingan couldn't do this, so he talked to the rest of his brothers and uncles, and knew that the village was still buying cattle, but in winter, it was not easy to buy, and it took a long way to buy so much.

Another is that they don't have much wood, and only half of what they bought in Li Xin's village last time was left.

They were not here for ten days, and the remaining fifteen people were not idle, making wheelchairs, single sofas, and multi-person sofas, and also took a few orders to make looms.

and Lin Qi, he asked someone to ask her if she wanted cotton cloth, and if she didn't want it, he would sell it first.

One is that there are too many piles, and the other is that they try to sell new fabrics in the store, which is very popular, there is no reason not to make money by putting it away, if Tian Qingan doesn't need it for the time being, he will start selling!

"Let him watch each style and keep five batches for me, and the rest will be sold!" Tian Qingan waved his hand absently.

The second is whether the cotton cloth is good or not, the key is the price, which is not as good as the fur and satin to make people have face.

This is doomed, the sofa must be covered with an extra layer.

However, the silk is easy to break, and it will not look good if it is broken after a long time, so there must be a layer of strong cotton cloth inside, if the outer layer of silk is broken, remove the satin, and then wrap it is easy.

After speaking, Tian Qingan divided the men into two groups, one group made cakes with noodles, and the other group made meals on the road tomorrow under her leadership.

Hot pot soup.

This is for them to eat at noon, and in the evening they can stay in a post house or in a village on the way, and there will definitely be a hot meal.

Hot pot soup is a hot meal in which the dishes are boiled in advance, cooked, and then frozen, and heated with lime powder when they are on the road.

It's just that the taste won't be too delicious, after all, it's been cooked twice.

Early the next morning, they set off again.

Tian Qingan was also busy.

One is to go back to the capital to pull fabric, and the other is to find wood.

She thought that how could those more than 100 pieces of wood be used until tomorrow spring, which was a bit unexpected.

Of course, it also shows that business is really good.

She didn't look for it herself, she just wanted to find it in the capital and had no connections, so she finally handed it over to her father.

After all, he has been doing this business for decades, and he can find out who has a large amount of wood in his hands in the capital.

Tian Qingan went in the morning, had lunch at home, and went back to Qiaozhuang with the fabric.

Then I went to the village chief's house.

If nothing else, Qiao Zhuang should have a lot of wood, after all, they cut down the trees of the entire mountain and planted peach trees before.

After hearing her intention, the village chief nodded, "Every household was divided at the beginning, almost a family has twenty or thirty roots, it shouldn't be used up, and there won't be too much if you don't have too much, if you want it, I'll help you ask." ”

"Thank you!" Tian Qingan said sincerely, and asked again, "Do you know that there are ready-made dried wood in several nearby villages?" Or who has a lot of sun-dried wood in their hands? ”
