Go back to the Admiral's youth through the book

Chapter 138 (138) Bartering food

Fuwa waited left and right for Xiao Yuxian and Brother Tang not to return, and waited right if they still did not come back, so she asked Mu Bin to lead a team of Jin Yiwei to help find someone.

Mu Bin's tracking ability is not weak, and he quickly found traces on the streets of the outer city. After inquiring, he found out that they went to Dingxiang Hutong.

When I got to the gate of the courtyard, I saw that my sister and brother-in-law were busy, so I silently asked my subordinates to stand by.

Ji Cheng counted the number of Langhao pens, and with a glance of his eyes, there was a row.

And Xia Ou stared at the extras. She liked gifts more than the things she bought. Looking at the slightly yellowed raw rice paper and a large plate of broken ink, she felt very happy in her heart.

The admiral has to write a lot of articles every day, and the good paper is wasted, so I don't feel bad when I use it for nothing.

They had fewer things, and they quickly finished counting, waiting for the shopkeeper to weigh the milled rice.

Xia Ou saw that the portion on the title was just right, no more, no less, so she generously scooped another big bowl into it and said, "I'll give it to you!"

"Thank you, young master, thank you..." The shopkeeper said a thousand thanks.

Their act of bartering food and goods attracted others to stop, and soon they formed a large circle, including not only neighbors, but also shopkeepers from the outer city who came to see the excitement.

These shopkeepers are all old friends, and when they saw that the things in the pen and ink shop could be exchanged, they also tried one after another.

Xia Ou was waiting for this opportunity.

She has so much food, wouldn't it be old rice if she kept it next year?

If you don't take the opportunity to act... No, it's to help the people overcome the current difficulties, otherwise, she can't bear it...

But these people all think that Ji Cheng is in charge, and they all surround him with brilliant tongues.

It's not easy for Xia Ou to speak directly, and her small eyes looked at the admiral pleadingly.

It seems to say again: please...please, just change it!

Seeing her cute little appearance, Ji Cheng slowly raised the corners of his lips.

Yes!

He exchanged grain for some wooden products and cloth, such as tables, chairs and benches, which his family hardly had. Not only did the young lady refuse to buy them, but she also forbade him to buy them. Except for the items left by Chifu, they used wooden blocks.

There were also some shopkeepers in the crowd who were at the end of their ropes and could not exchange anything for food, so they asked if they could exchange them with shops.

"Yes!" Xia Ou agreed hastily.

Shops in Yanjing City, no matter in the inner city or the outer city, are in extremely short supply. If there is no great difficulty on weekdays, no one will sell them at all, let alone sell them cheaply.

The shopkeepers said a thousand thanks, and immediately ran back to fetch the land deed and other things to hand over.

Among them, even if there are some people who are eager to see, they dare not make any moves because of Mu Bin leading Jinyiwei to town the field.

Their bustling hair naturally attracted the prying eyes of the Tao family next door.

Because, before they took in Chi Yao and Bai Sheng, they were sent to prison by Jin Yiwei, and then they were released, but their family wealth was exhausted during the management.

The Tao family also had an old house in the outer city, so they wanted to sell the place in Dingxiang Hutong, but they sold it at the dental shop, and no one cared about it.

Today, the Tao family can hardly even eat porridge, so they can only try to talk to Jicheng.

Xia Ou kept listening with her small ears up, for fear that the admiral would be at a disadvantage.

But it turns out that Ji Cheng's behavior is much more sophisticated than her. He bought the courtyard next door with 500 catties of grain and [-] taels of silver.

Normally, such a large yard would cost at least three to five thousand taels of snowflake silver!
This price is definitely a free price.

Soon, Ji Cheng set up the paperwork and took a group of shopkeepers and neighbors to Jingzhao Mansion to go through the corresponding procedures.

After this incident, Xia Ou and the admiral not only accumulated a huge fortune, but also spread the reputation of being kind and charitable.

As a result, everyone inquired about the name of the family that lived in Dingxiang Hutong.

I don't know if I don't ask, I'm startled when I ask.

God, the head of this family is actually the only son of Ji Hanshan who was invincible back then.

Jihanshan is the fourth son of the Ji family, but he is quite different from Qinghe Hou and Jianchang Bo.

Back then, when they heard that Ji Hanshan was expelled from his family, they regretted it for a long time.

The Ji family has lost Jihan Mountain in these years, and the good reputation they have accumulated has been ruined.

When everyone marveled at Ji Cheng's life experience, even the things about his married Chi Yao's sister were dug out.

The people all complained for Ji Cheng, how could Chi Yao's younger sister be a good one?
That Xia Ou was destined to save the prince and princess from the fate of the three clans of the Chi family, but she was as timid as a mouse and was so scared that she didn't know what to do.

If it wasn't for looking for Princess Weiyang, how could their Yanjing City be banned, and how could there be a food shortage?

Xia Ou heard that the people were attacking her one after another, no matter how optimistic she was, she would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

The scapegoat she carried on behalf of Concubine Ji is really serious...

I don't know how long she will have to carry the burden before she can unload the burden.

"Fathers and folks, let's disperse after changing the food, there are still people who want food in the future!"

Chi Ze moved the goods in, and when he came out, he just listened to it, and hurriedly dismissed those bad words.

He was immersed in the joy of recognition before and didn't think much about it, but now Princess Weiyang came out of the East Palace alive and kicking, but Emperor Daoren mobilized 72 guards to dig Yanjing three feet into the ground, desperately looking for "Princess Weiyang".

What this means is self-evident.

Concubine Ji is the only person in the whole world who can make Emperor Daoren so considerate.

Why use his innocent reputation as a young girl to fill in the hole for that stupid woman?
Because of the absurd things about the eldest daughter Chi Yao, he is sorry for the cultivation and value of Jinshang.

If the son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault. It's because he didn't teach well that he let the eldest daughter act recklessly, so that the whole family was implicated, but this has nothing to do with the youngest daughter.

Since Xiao Ou was born, she has never enjoyed half of the blessings of Chifu, so why should she be involved in these disasters?

While thinking, Chi Ze took over the work from Xia Ou and helped with the weighing.

Xia Ou saw his action of sharing the burden, and her heart warmed up. She said, "Father's bedding, haven't you prepared it yet? I remember that we exchanged cotton for rice and some cloth just now."

"They've all moved into the yard." Chi Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead.

From the moment he arrived at Yaonu's house, he has never been idle, working for his own daughter, he has all the strength in his body.

Xia Ou thought for a while, glanced at everyone, and said to a neatly dressed woman in the team, "Ma'am, how about the needlework?"

"My sewing is fast and good. What's your order, young master?" The woman hurriedly replied.

Xia Ou behaved politely and said with a sweet smile, "Ma'am, help me make some cotton-padded clothes and quilts, how about I give you half a catty of polished rice?"

"It's done, it's done!" The woman couldn't help being overjoyed.

The corners of Xia Ou's mouth twitched slightly, and said with a smile, "Father, go and measure the size with the aunt, and leave it to Xiao Ou."
