Chapter 148: Seeking Wealth and Danger

Three or four hours later, around noon, there was a distance of more than 100 kilometers from Huating County.

Along the way, Xia Huai and others met many refugees, who were embarrassed and panicked, but their footsteps never stopped.

Some people fell while walking, and the people who walked with him, I don't know whether they were relatives or villagers or strange companions, did not give extra glances to those who fell, and still walked forward like walking corpses.

The pair of shoes that have long been rotten, the mottled and scarred feet, have never stopped.

If they could speak, Xia Huai thought, then this world would be noisy. Filled with sounds such as 'go forward', 'don't stop', and 'stop and die'.

And she can't do anything, she can only be a ruthless and indifferent spectator of the sorrow in this world.

When they were paying attention to the displaced people, the displaced people were also silently watching Xia Dashan and the others.

They were so curious that they only saw people walking forward along the way, but they didn't see anyone walking backwards. Suspicious of Xia Dashan and the others' whereabouts, they actually had a little more breath of living people.

"Look, this is a group of fools, everyone is going to Huating County, what are they going back?"

"Whatever they do, it's idle! People have cars and horses, do you have them? ”

"Could it be that something is wrong with Huating County, should it not be allowed?"

"Bah, if you can't speak, shut your stinky mouth!"

When everyone was discussing, Xia Huai and the others finally stopped.

"Dad, it's around here, there's just a forest to block the sun." Xia Huai jumped off the mule cart and began to direct Zhang Damu and them to unload.

The choice of this place is not very good, it stands to reason that if you go one or two hundred kilometers back, it will be a sea of people, but Xia Huai has her considerations.

Although there are Wuying and Zheng Daqiao, there are too many people, and they can't parry. Most of the people who can go to this place have a little food money in their hands, and they also rely on a little bit of it, and the farther away from Huating County, the more people there are, and there are not many people who really go to the front.

For a combination of various reasons, Xia Huai decided to set up a stall here.

Putting down the tables, chairs and benches, pots and spoons, ingredients and water, Zhou Huiniang rolled up her sleeves and prepared to burn the fire.

The noodles are made overnight in advance, so you can use them directly.

The water was filled with wooden barrels for a dozen or so, and although there was some slight loss on the road, it was not lost much because of the lid.

Moreover, the water was purchased at a low price. As for the wooden barrel, it was borrowed by Jia Xin from door to door in the village, and selling water is basically a one-shot deal, so there is no need to buy wooden barrels at all.

You don't need to give money to the villagers when you rent wooden barrels, so you can just send some food to the villagers when the time comes.

Of course, even if the loss is a little too much, Xia Huai can secretly fill the gap.

The charcoal is still borrowed from Village Chief Lin before, it should be enough today, and I will have to buy some tomorrow, by the way, Xia Huai wants to start making some charcoal by himself.

The main charcoal is too expensive, every time I buy it and use it, I can't make up for this loophole no matter how much I earn!

Just in case, Xia Huai only prepared water and baked cakes this time.

The braised pork and stir-fried vegetables are so fragrant that she is afraid that these homeless people will go crazy and not be human. Of course, she could find a few people to make an example of her, but she didn't want to have blood on her hands.

Let's take a look at the situation of these displaced people first.

Those homeless people were stunned when they saw Zhou Huiniang starting to knead dough and make baked cakes.

"Am I dazzled, what are those people doing?"

"Making pancakes?"

"Crazy, this place is in business? Are they tired of living? ”

"Are they tired of living? I think you'd better be careful about your own life! Do you see the group behind them? All of them are holding big knives, looking like they are slashing people at any time, they don't have the confidence to dare to come over to do business? ”

"The so-called wealth is in danger, I don't think these people are easy to mess with!"

"That's what I said, but who has the money to buy food?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw a group of several people walking to the stall with a big grin, and shouted in a rough voice: "What are you selling?" ”

Zhou Huiniang's heart was pounding, and her heart was pounding, but as soon as she thought that her daughter was next to her, her heart immediately settled down a little, raised her head, and greeted each other warmly: "Several, I have baked cakes and water here, can you buy them?" ”

Those people didn't look like good stubble, but they unexpectedly didn't choke people, and asked directly, "How did you sell it?" ”

Zhou Huiniang was secretly happy in her heart, but she said lightly: "The water is three cents a bowl, the baked cakes are five cents a piece, sell the baked cakes and get a bowl of water, can you buy it?" ”

One of the men led by the men flashed when he heard this, and said in a rough voice: "Sanwen and a bowl of water, are you crazy?" So expensive, who buys! ”

Zhou Huiniang seemed to have expected such an incident, and said with a smile: "Harm, where is Sanwen expensive?" The water in Huating County has doubled several times, and it is difficult for us to transport it all the way over, and the three dollars are really not expensive! Besides, if you buy a pancake, it is equivalent to buying a pancake and giving you a bowl of water, that is, you get 3 pennies for nothing, what a good deal! ”

The man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Zhou Huiniang not only didn't panic, but also explained reasonably, and even felt that he would lose if he didn't buy it.

"Ahem, then, let's have ten baked cakes."

After speaking, he seemed to be afraid of what Zhou Huiniang would say, and grabbed words like burning his buttocks: "You said buy baked cakes and send a bowl of water, we buy ten, you have to send ten bowls!" ”

Zhou Huiniang nodded hurriedly, and pointed to the spare table next to her: "It's going to take a while to burn the cakes, you can sit down and rest first!" ”

"Xiao Dong, collect the money!"

Xia Qi hurriedly put down the book and pulled the abacus twice in a serious manner: "Ten baked cakes, ten bowls of water, a total of 50 Wen." ”

This abacus was made by Xia Dashan himself in the previous business, and it has been used for many years and is still strong.

The man didn't pay the bill, but said, "Bring five bowls of water first, and we'll pack the rest." After saying that, he took out a string of money from the money bag and threw it to Xia Qi.

Xia Huai wanted to be a little second in the water by herself, but Wuying stopped her.

He filled five bowls of water with a cold face, then stood motionless when he suddenly threw a bowl of water at the table.

The men just sat down, and one of them happened to look at Wuying, and he was frightened: "Big, big brother, small"

The man in charge said impatiently: "No matter how big or small, you can't stop your stammering mouth when you sit down!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the bowl of water passed through the eyes of the man in front of his eyes like a graceful arc, and finally landed on his left hand.

Outrageously, not a drop of water was spilled.

“.”

Without waiting for the man in charge to speak, Wuying quickly passed the remaining four bowls to several people in turn. Without exception, each bowl of water is on everyone's left hand side.

“.”

Ignoring the five stunned people, Wuying turned his head and smiled at Xia Huai: "Miss Xia, you go and rest, I am here." ”

Xia Huai: "Okay. "On pretending b, I'm really not as strong as your martial arts!

When will she be able to have this hand? If nothing else, I just want to feel the adoring gaze of others!
