Chapter 197: Prepare early for a change

After discussing this, the two found that there were not many things to prepare, Gu Huanxi was the most impatient to worry, and frowned when he listened.

Xu Huaiyi took a pencil and wrote and drew on the paper, and there were more than a dozen of them, before he stopped and showed it to her, "Daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry too much, you just do what I wrote, it's not accurate, there is no shortage of silver at home now, there is Wei Liang for errands, and Wei Ci for work, you just have to open your mouth." ”

Gu Huanxi nodded helplessly.

Xu Huaiyi smiled, "Or, I won't go to school?" Stay at home and run this mess and let you be the shopkeeper? ”

Gu Huanxi glanced at him, "You just don't have the heart to go to school." ”

If she really keeps Xu Huaiyi at home, the people in the village can't spare her, in their eyes, Xu Huaiyi is the most promising person, who dares to stop his future, that is the enemy of the whole village.

Xu Huaiyi pestered her for a few more words, and she drove her to find Village Chief Xu.

The villagers should also be prepared.

After he left, Gu Huanxi realized that the silver in the RV was not less, so where did Xu Huaiyi get the money to buy so much food and things?

Secretly selling glass again?

There is no less glass on the bookshelf, but the kale she planted, a pot of purple is missing, she is impressed, because of the flower, the flower is not very big, but the color is good, it is very positive purple, rich purple is very expensive, more than peonies.

Is this a sale?

If Xu Huaiyi was here at the moment, Gu Huanxi would have to clean him up, and she didn't agree to sell it, so why did she sneak in and play first?

At this moment, at the village chief Xu's house, Xu Huaiyi just entered the door and sat down, he couldn't help but itch his nose, sneezed a few times, and thought, who is muttering about him behind his back?

Seeing this, Xu Maoyuan asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Huaiyi, don't catch a cold, right? ”

As he spoke, he touched the clothes he was wearing, "What are you doing here?" Isn't it so thick to the touch, Ah Li, why don't you stuff some more? ”

Xu Huaiyi said with a smile, "Uncle, I'm fine, this jacket is stuffed with silk cotton, there are a lot of stuffs, enough to keep warm, and people who practice martial arts are strong, they can't feel cold, don't believe it, you touch my palm, and sweat." ”

Xu Maoyuan really touched it, sweaty, it was really not cold, so he was relieved, "It's good if you don't catch a cold, otherwise you will delay going to school." ”

"Well, don't worry, with my physique, it's not easy to get sick, but the old people and children in the village, when it snows in a few days, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Xu Huaiyi introduced the topic here, and his expression became a little solemn, "I'm afraid you two can guess that the weather is abnormal this year, it is colder than in previous years, coupled with the drought in spring and summer, in winter, there is likely to be a snow disaster, so you have to prepare early." ”

Village Chief Xu nodded, and sighed heavily, "It's more to make some preparations, I'd rather not use it, and then I can't catch the blind when the time comes......

Xu Maoyuan wrinkled his brows and said, "Firewood is easy to say, as long as you are diligent, there will be no shortage of burning at home, but you can't rely on the kang for all the family, right?" There's a lot of work outside, and I have to set up stalls, and I also have to go to the tofu factory to work, and the clothes I wear are ......."

He paused, turned his head and asked Xu Huaiyi, "Is the silk cotton really resistant to wind and warmth?" Better than skin? ”

Xu Huaiyi said, "Wind resistance is not as good as leather, but it is not much warmer, and it is light and comfortable to wear, the leather is not breathable, and it is too panicked." ”

"How did you sell it?"

Xu Huaiyi opened his mouth and said a number.

Xu Maoyuan shook his head with a wry smile, "There are few people in the village who use silk wool jackets." ”

Xu Huaiyi said, "Although it is expensive, it is very necessary, and the stall in the village has also earned some silver, so why not be willing to buy some silk cotton?" At the very least, first ensure that the old man and the child can carry it, otherwise even the crime of escaping the famine will be suffered, it makes no sense that there is an accident when we are about to enjoy the blessings, so frustrating.

Xu Maoyuan thought for a while, "What you said is also right, go back and persuade them." ”

"The silver has to be spent, otherwise why are we working so hard to make money outside? Isn't it just for the elderly and children at home to live a more comfortable life? ”

Village Chief Xu took over, "That's right, the silver is spent on the blade, there is nothing to worry about, except for cutting more firewood, buying some silk wool jackets, and the house has to rest and recuperate, but don't be crushed by the heavy snow." ”

"The most important thing is food, we must save more, as long as we can keep enough food, buy it at home, and it will not be wasted."

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu directly panicked, "Huaiyi, why are you storing food again?" ”

Xu Huaiyi's voice was condensed, "I went to the city today, and found that there were more and more victims at the city gate, and the yamen arranged for them to settle down, but not many people left, and even built a shack near the city gate. ”

Village Chief Xu's face changed, "Dead people are still a trivial matter, I am afraid of causing epidemics and civil unrest, and when the time comes, no one will be able to hide from it......"

"So, let's make more preparations, now the inspection into the city is getting stricter and stricter, the food in the shop is not lacking, but the price has risen a little, and other cloths, silk cotton, and leather are higher than usual.

"Yes, yes, it's time to stock up on more and be prepared."

Xu Maoyuan said worriedly, "We've only been living a stable life for a few days, why don't we stop again?" ”

Xu Huaiyi thought to himself, the court did not act, but he knew that it was unreasonable for the ancients to fear the imperial power, so he endured it and did not complain, but said lightly, "It's still a problem of the disaster, the victims can't be properly resettled in the local area, so they can only flee the famine and come to the capital. ”

Then, they pass the buck to each other, and no one wants to take responsibility.

Xu Maoyuan sighed, "It's really evil." ”

Village Chief Xu said, "Huaiyi, in addition to what I just said, there is also food stockpiling, what else do we have to prepare?" ”

"Medicine, I have to talk to Dr. Jiao about this."

"Well, I'll go find him later, what else?"

"We have to beware of the chaos of the disaster victims, who rush to the surrounding villages, they are hungry, but they are not much better than the mountain bandits."

Village Chief Xu took a breath of cold air, and his voice trembled, "In the capital, will this kind of thing still happen?" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to make trouble? The officials of the yamen must be in charge, right? I heard, what, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, thousands of people, aren't they in charge of these things full-time? ”

Xu Huaiyi explained, "The soldiers and horses of the five cities are all active in the city, and if there is really an epidemic or civil unrest, the city gate will definitely be closed a long time ago, besides, it is better to count on no one than to be reliable." ”
