Chapter 71: Zhu Si
It just rained last night, and today's weather is gray, and it seems that I want to rain again.
The tide is gradually rising, and if the boat that Zhu Li and her sail over wants to turn around, they can immediately turn around and go back.
The marked ship is the private property of Tanah Lot and currently belongs to Zhu Li, the Zhu Division.
And this time they came to Death Island, and it was at Zhu Li's insistence that they came over.
Even though Zhu Li and the uncles tried their best to persuade Wen Xian to go back to Sun Island with them, Wen Xian still refused.
However, although you don't go to Sun Island, you can exchange supplies.
So, after Wen Xian refused to go to Sun Island again, she tentatively said: "You need charcoal, you can barter for things." ”
She didn't know if these people on Sun Island would burn charcoal, if not, it would be fine, but if they did, there was no need to exchange it with her.
Wen Xian was a little apprehensive in her heart, but she still didn't show it on her face, she only looked at them calmly, and put on a posture that could be changed or not.
"Charcoal?" Zhu Li's eyes lit up, "You actually have charcoal?" ”
"Change, what does the girl want to change?" The man wearing a straw hat standing at the end spoke, "Go down to Sun Island to Zhuqing again, how much charcoal does the girl have, and what do you want to exchange?" ”
Zhu Qing Zhu Li, Wen Xian knew in her heart, this should be a family with Zhu Li's family.
She didn't pay attention to it before, but when she looked at it now, this person named Zhu Qing turned out to be a young man who looked about the same age as Zhu Li.
At this moment, Zhu Qing had already taken the initiative to expose it, so he didn't hide it anymore. He stepped forward from the way he came out, met Wen Xian face to face, and gave a salute.
Wen Xian replied: "Unfortunately, the most I have here is charcoal." I don't think you will come back when you return to Sun Island, so let's talk about what you have to change, and then I'll decide how much to change. ”
She paused, and said with a puzzled face: "Sun Island doesn't produce charcoal?" ”
She actually saw joy and excitement in the eyes of this group of people.
Before Zhu Li could speak, Zhu Qing took the lead and said: "Charcoal is not produced on the island, if you need it, you have to buy it in a small town outside the island." The nearest town to Sun Island is Baili, the town is not big, and charcoal is in short supply. ”
Therefore, when they sail to purchase, even if they go early, they will not be able to purchase much.
The charcoal purchased will be supplied to Tanah Lot Temple first, that is, for Zhu Si to use, and the rest will be shared by the villagers.
Each family can't share much, or even nothing.
Therefore, every year, some freeze to death or are smoked to death by the smoke generated by burning wood.
This year, because of the war, there was less charcoal bought, not to mention distributing it to the villagers, and even the share of Tanah Lot Temple could not be supplied.
Now Zhu Si on the island is his sister, although he has been raised in Tanah Lot since he was a child, but they are all on the same island, he often goes to Tanah Lot Temple to worship, and secretly looks at his sister by the way.
Therefore, he is familiar with this sister, and he dotes on her very much, and he is reluctant to let her suffer.
He was worried about where to buy some charcoal and come back for Zhu Li to use, so there would be an unexpected gain.
Wen Xian said thoughtfully: "I have charcoal here, but it was left by my brother, and I can give you a thousand catties." ”
The first time the charcoal was burned, it was an experimental product, and it was burned less at one time. But every time it was burned after that, it was burned a lot, and it was estimated that there were six or seven hundred catties in a cellar.
If Zhu Qing can take out a quilt or something, she will have no problem giving Zhu Qing a thousand catties.
It's a big deal, after the change, they will continue to burn.
"A thousand pounds!" Zhu Qing's pupils shrank, and he turned sideways slightly to block Zhu Li's slightly gaffe eyes and said, "Girl, do you need silver taels?" ”
Fortunately, he has the habit of carrying silver and silver tickets with him. He wished his family to start a business, and he was a big family on the island with a little asset.
However, Wen Xian shook her head and said, "Don't want silver taels, just exchange things." ”
Money can't buy anything on a desert island, it's for nothing.
Zhu Qing said: "Then you wait a minute, I'll go and pack up the supplies in the boat first." ”
He turned around and led people back to the cabin, and even Zhu Li was pulled back, leaving only Wen Xian and Sheng Li'er looking at each other.
Sheng Li'er scratched her head and said, "Madam, let's wait here?" ”
Who knows if this group really wants to exchange supplies, or if they want to go back and get weapons and come out to rob.
Wen Xian said angrily: "Otherwise, you can't follow others to the cabin." Rest assured, they won't be anything. ”
People of faith usually pay attention to cause and effect and value integrity.
Although that Zhu Qing doesn't look very easy to mess with, with Zhu Li, the Zhu Si, there will be no accidents.
Sure enough, after a while, Zhu Qing led someone to carry two rattan baskets and a bunch of things.
Without waiting for him to greet him, Wen Xian walked over with her feet raised and stood under the boat to watch them count.
Even Sheng Li'er couldn't help but be hot, the rattan basket was filled with cotton clothes and quilts!
Wen Xian didn't expect that Zhu Qing was still careful, knowing that they were prepared, she made a special trip to carry the supplies to the side of the boat, and didn't mention letting them go up.
"All of this has to be changed?" Wen Xian pointed to a pile of supplies on the ground.
This mess, in addition to cotton clothes and quilts, there are pots and pans. There were also a couple of half-filled cloth bags that looked like they were supposed to be grain.
Her heart was on fire, and she was probably the most miserable person. Since the crossing, I haven't eaten a serious meal.
Sure enough, Zhu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, if the girl wants to, you can change these." ”
After a pause, he explained, "These clothes were for the maids, and there were six sets of cloth clothes, six sets of cotton clothes, six pairs of cotton shoes, and six quilts. It's not brand new, but it's all washed. If the girl doesn't dislike it, she can change it. ”
They have always been generous in preparing supplies for Tanah Lot, these are just put on the ship for backup, and it doesn't matter if they are exchanged for them.
In fact, there are a few sets of two-day washing, and he can't let the maid take them out.
Of course, even if the maid was willing, it would be difficult for him to give Wen Xian what he used.
Wen Xian bowed slightly: "What about the others?" ”
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to introduce: "There are also these pots and pans or something, as well as half a bag of brown rice, half a bag of polished rice, half a bag of flour and a bag of dried fish. ”
In order to make up the value of 1,000 catties of charcoal, he and Zhu Li scavenged everything they could on the boat, leaving only the dry food to eat on the return trip.
Zhu Si's duty is also to protect Sun Island, and now there is an opportunity to change charcoal, and take out these special clothes for Tanah Lot in exchange, and no one will object.
If the villagers on the island knew, they would only respect Zhu Li more.
Wen Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Even if I take all these materials." According to the high price, it can only be exchanged for five or six hundred catties of charcoal at most. ”
As soon as she said this, Sheng Li'er behind her was anxious. I can't wait to say that I will change it immediately, and I will change it with another thousand catties.
It's a big deal that she cuts down more trees and burns more charcoal. It's better than risking your life to go to Wolf Mountain in order to find ethereal cotton.
