Chapter 105: I didn't bring anything with me
"People in the city are selling shops?"
After Ning Changrong finished talking about the things in the city, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi both looked solemn.
Ning Qingxi thought about the history she had studied, "Dad, the county orders have started to sell shops, is it that those rebels are going to fight?" ”
From the beginning, they knew that the dynasty was unstable, and there were rebels everywhere.
The wrinkles on Wang Xiujuan's face became even more obvious, "I'm afraid it's really going to be a war, and the people in the city just want to sell the house and run away." ”
Ning Changrong nodded, "It should be like this, I originally thought that our county would be able to hold on to a stable life for at least another two or three years." First, the entrance fee to the city was increased, and now the people in the county have sold a large number of houses, and the price of grain has begun to rise again, not only food, but also other things are rising! ”
"It's going to be a war! What should I do, Dad? "It's okay for them to beat robbers with their gunpowder, but against those thousands of soldiers? It's better to run!
Ning Changrong didn't expect them to be so unlucky, this land had only been bought for two days.
"I bought another truckload of grain, and in a few days when the grain in our field is harvested, we will find a way to transport it to the mountains first."
Now the place behind the belly of the mountain is Ning Changrong's last retreat.
To be honest, if he were alone, he would definitely dare to pull up a team to copy the guys, but he also has a daughter and a wife, which can be said to be old and young. If they want to do it, they have to find a stable place for their grandparents.
"Girl, do you know how to make cement?"
If it becomes their retreat, then there are some things that need to be prepared early.
Ning Qingxi shook his head, "How can I do this?" But the encyclopedia has it, and I'll be able to figure it out tomorrow. ”
Ning Changrong clasped his hands and smiled: "Okay, then you hurry up and come out, let's sneak up the mountain, first open the whole piece behind the belly of the mountain, at least build a cement house, otherwise the beasts behind it are not vegetarians." If we have to take refuge from it for a while, there will be a place to stay. ”
In its current form, it's a matter of time before they hide in, but before that, they have to hurry up and stock up on more things, and only when they have money can they store things, so making money is still a top priority.
"Mother, you are responsible for making crushed ice and taro balls to make money for our family, and Xixi and I are responsible for arranging the mountain. Leave a way out for our family. ”
Wang Xiujuan nodded, "How much work can the two of you do?" Why don't you let the second and third children also help you do something? ”
Ning Changrong was right to think about it, when the time comes, their family will have to run away, and if conditions permit, they will definitely not leave these two brothers, so how can they let them eat and live for nothing? Why don't you do more work now?
It's just a little worried that these two people won't say it with a big mouth. Ning Lao Er doesn't have to worry, Ning Lao San has to think about it.
Ning Daniu and Ning Husheng, who went to the county to sell popsicles in the evening, came back. The two of them went relatively early and didn't meet Ning Changrong.
Ning Daniu looked happy, "Evergreen, I'll sell thirty sticks tomorrow!" ”
All the 15 sticks he took today were sold out, and he went to the places where those rich and noble people lived to shout according to the method that Ning Changrong taught him, and sure enough, someone bought them.
Ning Hu was born to the door of those big restaurants, and the business was still passable, and the people who could go to those restaurants to eat did not lack that few dollars in their pockets, plus the food was fresh enough, and he also sold well.
Hearing Ning Daniu's words, Ning Husheng hurriedly said, "I will also keep 30 sticks tomorrow!" Brother Evergreen, you can leave me a little too. ”
Ning Changrong looked at his mother, "Mother, is it enough?" ”
Wang Xiujuan nodded, "It's enough." "Ning Changrong went to the county to do errands, and their grandparents were busy with popsicles at home.
They didn't do any tricks, they just added some sugar, added some fruit juice, and made several colors, which were specially used to attract customers.
The bamboo skewers of the popsicles were cut by Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San. The two of them, Wang Xiujuan, were responsible for seasoning, and Ning Qingxi was responsible for putting on the sticks to beat them. Hundreds of them were made in less than a day.
The next day, Wang Xiujuan got up early in the morning and was busy making taro balls after cooking.
Ning Changrong thought that they could make a bunch of them, and then send them to the county once a week. This will also reduce some of the cost of entering the city.
Ning Qingxi was busy mixing cement, studying the ratio in his room.
Wang Xiujuan and Ning Changrong are in Rou Taro Balls, taro balls need to be kneaded vigorously and repeatedly, just like kneading flour, kneaded long enough to ensure Q bomb.
The two of them were busy sweating profusely in the summer, "Mother, this is not good, my hands are sore after rubbing a little, if you do it every day, how can you stand this hand?" ”
Wang Xiujuan raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, "Then what do you say?" After working for half the morning, she also had a sore back.
"Let the two siblings help. Let's pay them. ”
Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei were so happy when they heard that they were going to come to help with the work and get money, but Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San were unhappy, they were already getting wages for helping their eldest brother's family farm the land, if they needed money to help their mother do some work, then what kind of people would they become?
The two concubines didn't dare to laugh when they saw that their men were unhappy.
"Big brother, how can I ask you for your money? You can rent the land to our two brothers and plant it, it's already for the sake of brotherly friendship. ”
"Take the money again, how do you make our two brothers look up?"
Ning Changrong said with a smile: "Second and third, logically speaking, we have already separated in private, but I also know that we are close brothers." ”
"If I ask you to help once or twice, then I will definitely not give money, but I have to ask my younger siblings to help every day, why am I embarrassed to trouble them if I don't give money?"
"That, that's ...... too"
Ning Changrong interrupted Ning Laosan's words, "Okay, listen to the eldest brother, you two should hurry up and finish the work in hand, I will ask you to do something in a few days, this time there is no money." ”
Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San looked happy after hearing this, "Don't worry, big brother, we will be able to finish the work in the field in five days, and then we won't have to take care of the two of us every day." You don't have to say what you do. ”
With the help of Fang Chunmei and Li Dafeng, the efficiency of making taro balls is much higher.
In one day, a large barrel of semi-finished products was made, and the rest only had to be sent to the county shop to be sold and then cooked.
Ning Changrong and Wang Xiujuan went to the county with several buckets of taro balls and other materials.
After passing through the city gate, Wang Xiujuan said with a distressed face: "I didn't do anything when I entered the city gate, and the 7 yuan was gone." Our family can still find a way to make some money, where can these ordinary people afford to enter this city gate? ”
In the past few days, Ning Changrong has often gone to the county and brought a lot of things to the people in the village, and others will not enter the city if they can not enter the city.
