Chapter 129: Two Carts of Wet Cotton

The fastest update beauty is the latest chapter of Jiang!

An autumn rain and a cold.

At the end of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the temperature in Ling Tian City was already very low.

An autumn rain that lasted for a few days made the whole city a little cold, and many people wore thick jackets, some were afraid of the cold, and the silk cotton was already on their bodies.

On the cotton wool street of Ling Tiancheng, there were bustling crowds, some buying and some selling, and the sound of bargaining was endless. But in the midst of these voices, you can hear people crying bitterly, and more people around you are watching.

Jiang Jiang came to this street today to take a look at the market for winter clothes, this street is called Cotton Wool Street, as the name suggests, it is a place where cotton fur trade is conducted.

Jiang Jiang bought a batch of furs from the Kazakh people before, and fur is taboo to press the box.

No matter how good the fur is, if it can't be taken out and made into clothes back then, it won't be beautiful enough to make it every other year.

Therefore, as soon as the weather is cold, Jiang Jiang thinks about how to turn the fine fur he has hoarded into real money with white flowers and yellow flowers.

So she also noticed people crying in the street, and curiously squeezed into the crowd, only to see two ox carts full of cotton parked there. Two middle-aged men led two and a half children to squat on the ground and wept bitterly, like mourning.

The cry was full of remorse and despair, as if the sky was about to fall.

"Alas, it's really an unforeseen situation," some of the onlookers were soft-hearted, and couldn't help but cry out for these people: "This cotton is most afraid of water, once it is stained with water, it will become thin and hard, and it will be useless." Their two truckloads of cotton are easily transported to the city, ready to be sold for a good price, who wants to be drenched in the rain, who is willing to buy it? ”

"They're really, why don't they cover the car with a tarpaulin?" Some people think that the poor must have something to hate: "God cares about people's lives and deaths? It's not that you have to be careful. This September day is like a dog with a sour face, saying that it is cloudy, and that it will be cloudy when it rains, and it will not be sunny for several days in a row. ”

"It's the first time they've come out to do business, and they don't have much experience," someone said very understandingly, "Besides, who has front and back eyes, and expected that it will rain in the next few days?" "It was sunny all the time ago, and whoever wants to say that the sky will change."

It turned out that these people were two brothers with two children who came out to sell cotton, and they also did shelter in the car before going out, but what they didn't expect was that the rain was too big, and the cover was not tight enough.

Now that the sky is still not clear, what should I do with these two trucks of wet cotton?

Although the cotton is not heavy, it becomes very heavy when it is wet, and now the cattle pulling the cart are tired.

These people couldn't do business in Ling Tian City, and they couldn't go home, so they were so distressed that they could only hug their heads and cry. "Oh my God!" The eldest of them cried, "We've put all our possessions on these two wagons of cotton!" Now I haven't sold a pound, and I can't even go home, what should we do! ”

"Brother, we don't have the life to get rich," his brother wiped away his tears and said, "Mother is right, we have been poor for eight lifetimes, how can we make money?" ”

The two and a half children who accompanied him, who were supposed to be the sons of their two brothers, bowed their heads deeply when they heard their fathers say this, as if they had succumbed to their unfortunate fate, and felt their weakness and incompetence.

"Do you still sell your cotton?" Jiang Jiang stepped forward and asked.

"What?" The brothers, who hugged their heads and cried, thought they had misheard.

"I ask you if this cotton is still sold?" Jiang Jiang said his words again.

"What's the use of buying wet cotton?" Someone in the crowd whispered: "If you buy one catty or two catties, go home and dry it, and it's barely usable, how can such two big cars be digested?" ”

"Sell! Of course sell! The two brothers who sold cotton hurriedly said to Jiang Jiang as if they had seen a savior: "How much do you want, boss?" We sell it to you at a loss. ”

"What is the cost price of these two truckloads of cotton?" Jiang Jiang opened his mouth and asked, "I can only give it to you at cost price." ”

"That's enough, that's enough," the two brothers said with infinite gratitude, "as long as they can get their money back, thank God." ”

In order to trade these two truckloads of cotton, they put all the money in their hands and borrowed money. I wanted to make some money and turn over. But who would have thought that such a thing would happen, and now when they heard Jiang Jiang say that they could buy these cotton at cost price, they were naturally overjoyed, as if a person had been sentenced to death and was about to be beheaded when he was pulled to the court, but suddenly told you that he could go home. Although he was frightened in the middle, he finally saved his life, which was already an unexpected joy.

"I've bought both truckloads of cotton, but you have to wring as much water out of the cotton as possible, otherwise it's too heavy for me to take back." Jiang Jiang said to these people.

"This nature, this nature," the two brothers and two children said, "we'll do it now." ”

"Boss Jiang, what are you buying these cotton for?" Lian'er, who came with Jiang Jiang, asked curiously, she was very worried when she saw these people crying bitterly, and when Jiang Jiang said that she wanted to buy these cottons, she was also happy for these people.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Jiang's money didn't come from the wind, what did she use to buy so much wet cotton?

Besides, cotton is very difficult to dry, and the weather is cold now, even if it is sunny, the temperature is not high. If you don't get it right, these cotton will develop mold spots, and then it will be worse.

"Let's hire two cars in a while to pull this cotton back to the coolie street," Jiang Jiang said to Lian'er: "It's getting cold, I see that the neighbors are very thinly dressed, anyway, these cotton are sold very cheaply, take them and distribute them to each family, a few catties per family, the quantity is not much." It is better to put it on the kang to dry than to have no cotton clothes to wear in winter. This can be regarded as a benefit for everyone! ”

"Boss Jiang, you are really good," Lian'er said sincerely and admiringly: "With you in Coolie Street, it is like having a living Bodhisattva!" ”

"I don't give these things for nothing," Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "Only those who are willing to clean their houses and yards, and there is no garbage and dirt in front of the door, I will see that they are willing to give." Those who are lazy and don't have the heart to live, I won't give charity. ”

"Boss Jiang, you're doing the right thing!" Lian'er nodded again and again, and said: "Help the poor and not help the lazy, those who are idle all day long should not be too pitiful." ”

"Lian'er, it's best if you can understand," Jiang Jiang has always liked Lian'er's cleverness and sensibility: "The people in Coolie Street are poor, but their hearts can't be poor." The unhealthy trend of thinking about other people's charity all day long for nothing should not be promoted. ”
