Chapter 165: Selling Hats and Clothes for Money
Xu Jingluo took all the three little guys into his arms, took out the candy and snacks prepared in advance, and gave them to Runtian and Cestbon.
"Whoa~~Whoa~" The little gray ash arched around coquettishly, and seemed to be asking her mother for food.
"Don't worry, little gray, you have it too." Xu Jingluo took out a few pieces of jerky and fed them into the little gray ash's mouth, and then coaxed it well, and the two pairs of paws fell to the ground.
"Aunt Jingluo, you're back."
The other children in the village also laughed and gathered around, and Xu Jingluo gave each of them a handful of candy and pastries.
In order to make these things look less novel, she specially wrapped them in oiled paper, as if she had bought them in a shop in the city.
In this ancient time, it was rare to eat sugar, but the children were so happy, after thanking Xu Jingluo, they all took one in their mouths, and a large group of people ran crazy to play.
Runtian and Yi Bao also had sugar in their mouths, and their eyes were rolling.
"Mother? Where's my dad? You're not going to lose him, are you? ”
I didn't see Gu Changgong, the faces of these two little guys were full of disappointment, and the sugar in their mouths was not so sweet.
"Runtian Yibao, from today onwards, you have to change your words." Xu Jingluo squatted down in front of the two children with a serious face, and pinched their faces as tender as small buns.
"Although Gu Gongzi promised to be your stepfather, it is not something he can count if he says it, he still has a father and mother at home, he wants to ask his mother-in-law, he has to discuss it with his family, right?"
When Yi Bao heard this, he immediately pursed his lips.
"Does that mean grandparents don't agree? They don't allow their fathers to marry their mothers? ”
Runtian also lowered his little head sadly, "Daddy, is this gone?" Has he abandoned us? ”
Xu Jingluo sighed secretly, this is her dilemma.
This guy is clearly engaged, and he came to provoke them, how sad is it for the two children?
Xu Jingluo also has no experience as a mother and doesn't know how to comfort the children.
After thinking about it, he said meaningfully: "Runtian Yibao, you listen well, it is good to have a father who loves and loves, but it is better to let others love and take care of yourself." ”
"What's more, you still have a mother, a mother-in-law, and an uncle and aunt...... Everybody loves you. ”
After saying this, Xu Jingluo explained to the two babies again.
"Gu Gongzi went back to Western Wei, but he may not come back...... We don't have to worry about him, it's the right thing to live our own lives. ”
"Yes, mother, we know." The two little ones listened to their mother's enlightenment, and their mood also improved, and they ran and played with their friends.
The people in the village are all outside the wasteland, and there are busy figures everywhere.
Zhang's family, Xu Jingling and Cui Ying were also busy working in the field, Mama Cao bowed her back slightly to the gate of the courtyard, and Xu Jingluo stepped forward and stuffed a handful of sugar into her hand.
"Tired along the way, aren't you? Sit down and drink saliva. Mama Cao stuffed the sugar into her pocket, smiled and came to the table and poured water for Xu Jingluo.
Just now Xu Jingluo's words, Mama Cao heard them, so she didn't ask any more.
Ling girl has always had her own plans, and since she didn't bring Changgong back, she naturally has her own reasons.
Xu Jingluo came to the table and sat down, looking around while drinking water.
The seaside is really beautiful, the sea breeze is shining brightly, the sea, the coconut grove~~ Such a beautiful scenery is enough to heal.
What kind of man, let him go, she will take care of her relatives and live her own little life.
"Fourth sister, this burden is so heavy, what is in it?" Xu Jing'an, who was left behind, came back with his burden, put the heavy burden on the table, and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Silver." Xu Jingluo smiled and said, "Didn't we kill five leopards on the way?" The five leopard skins were skinned by other hunters, and finally fell into the hands of Xu Wanjun, who thought of a way to get them back, and took them to the Proton Mansion and sold them for three hundred taels of silver. ”
"When the time comes, send it to Uncle Feng and let him give everyone a share."
Xu Jing'an was happy, "Really? That's great. ”
The men who killed the leopard also said it after returning to the village, and regretted losing five leopard skins, never thought that they were so lucky, not only returned to their own hands but also turned into silver!
After sitting in the courtyard for a while, Xu Jingluo came to his senses and looked around the courtyard.
"Now that the land has been reclaimed and the seeds have been planted, it's time to build the courtyard walls."
It didn't matter if she didn't build a wall or not, she just wanted to find something to do.
After Chang Gong's guy left, he really felt as if something was missing, not to mention anything else, there was a pair of eyes that were missing from paying attention to him all the time, which made people feel empty in their hearts.
"I'll go to Uncle Feng to divide the money, and then discuss with him about building a wall." Xu Jingluo got up as he spoke, picked up his baggage and went out of the hospital.
"Fourth sister, I'll go with you." Xu Jingan also stood up and took the burden on Xu Jingluo's shoulders.
Out of the courtyard, along the avenue leading to the north, soon arrived at Feng Yongsheng's house.
Feng Yongsheng, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Sun and others were playing chess in the courtyard, and they were making a noise because Uncle Zhao was going to regret chess.
"Uncle Feng, a few uncles, playing chess." Xu Jingluo and Xu Jingan walked in one after another.
"Ling girl is back?" Everyone was busy smiling and greeting.
also knew that Xu Jingluo had come back from the city, and even the news of Gu Gongzi's return to Western Wei had spread in the village.
After greeting each other, several old men buried their heads in chess again.
"Ling girl, come over here and sit." Feng Yongsheng beckoned Xu Jingluo to sit at the table next to him, and poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for the two of them.
After sitting down, Xu Jingan untied the burden and handed it to Xu Jingluo.
Xu Jingluo took the burden to the table and opened it, and said with a smile:
"Didn't we kill a few leopards in the mountains when we went into the city to collect supplies? The skins were stripped by the other hunters, and finally fell into my hands again. ”
"I got the Proton Mansion in Shuanglong City and sold it for three hundred taels of silver, and everyone shared one point."
"This? And this kind of good thing? Feng Yongsheng's face was full of disbelief, and the masters who were playing chess next to him also stopped when they heard this, and looked over in surprise.
Everyone thinks it's incredible, but the white silver in the burden can't be dazzling, it seems that Ling girl's ability is indeed not small, and she actually asked for the lost leopard skin again.
"Xu Wanjun, who has severed ties with us, is now the tax collector of Shuanglong City, and he got it from him." Xu Jingan explained.
"Oh, I see." Everyone seems to understand.
The reason why they were able to get their supplies was because Ling Yatou grabbed Xu Wanjun's handle and threatened him to send everyone out of the city.
Ling girl is so clever, it is not difficult to get back five leopard skins from Xu Wanjun's hand that did not belong to him in the first place.
After listening to this explanation, no one doubts it anymore.
However, no one would take the money.
"You can't divide this money, you can take it back."
"Yes, this leopard was originally killed by Changgong's master and servant, and it was Ling Girl's idea to get it and exchange it for money, so we don't have this face to sit back and enjoy it."
"It's good enough to come back with so many supplies, how can we ask for this silver? Ling girl Xiuyang hurriedly carried the silver back. ”
"You won't want this money." Uncle Feng also looked at Xu Jingluo with an affirmative expression, "I heard Ze'an say that you plan to do business in the city, and this money is just used as capital." ”
Xu Jingluo knew how stubborn the people in the village were, and no one would agree with what was wrong, so he thought for a while:
"Well, then, I'll pay you a deposit."
"I'm going to open a shop in the city that sells hats and clothes, so that everyone can make these two things and sell them for money when they're done farming."
When Feng Yongsheng heard about this business, his face was immediately full of surprise.
"It's not difficult to make hats and robes, but will there be a market?"
"Yes, absolutely." Xu Jingluo replied in the affirmative.
"The weather in Ssangyong City, either it's raining, or it's the scorching sun, the hat is needed anyway on sunny and rainy days, if you want to go out to work on a rainy day, it's a must-have thing, why worry about selling?"
"Ling girl is right, this business should be able to be done." Feng Yongsheng nodded after listening, "It's just that the road into the city is not easy to walk, and it is too dangerous to pass through the jungle for dozens of miles." ”
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Then come out on a path. Xu Jingluo said, "You don't need to cut how wide it is, just three or four zhang wide." ”
"Not only the hats, but also the seafood and the like can be transported to the city for sale, I have seen it on the street, and there is no restaurant that sells seafood."
