Escape from the desert

"Go and call the boss and the others back, let's go to town first."

Jiang Yan started to pack up, no matter what, she still had to make money first, even if she really wanted to escape from the famine, she had to have money to survive!

After Lin Dong and the others came back, things were almost packed.

Xiaodouzi looked at Jiang Yan eagerly and said, "Grandma, I want to follow you to town."

Lin Bei also hurriedly said, "Mother, I want to go too, I haven't been to the town yet."

Jiang Yan considered it for a while, and said: "The boss and the second one carry a pot of cold tofu each, the third is the most powerful, you carry the steamer, and the fourth will follow. I'll take you again."

The first three children are the eldest in the family. They have been in the town for the past few years. They are not moving goods at the dock, or helping others to collect crops in the fields. They have also figured out the village. Only Lin Bei has never been out since he was a child, and he has never seen one. A dead fool.

Jiang Yan took him with him to cultivate him. This child is smart, can do simple arithmetic, and is especially sensitive to money. This is why Jiang Yan didn't dare to give Lin Yousheng the final payment directly last night.

After all, she is now penniless in the eyes of the children.

"Mother...Xiaowu...want to go..." As soon as Lin Feng heard that he was going to separate from Lin Bei, tears fell, and he said with a crying voice: "Mother...Xiaowu wants to be with my brother..."

The little guy was crying and stammering, Jiang Yan was almost soft-hearted, but it was not good for too many people, she said cruelly: "Xiao Wu is obedient, mother only has five copper coins left, not enough to ride an ox cart, wait for today If I make money, I will take you with me tomorrow."

Lin Feng lowered his head and went back to the room. Jiang Yan thought that the little guy had heard it, so he ignored it, and talked to Xiaodouzi, and the whole family set off.

Lin Gui's ox cart is still parked at the entrance of the village, but there will be a few people sitting there. It's not like it was empty when they came last time. Jiang Yan glanced at it. They were all acquaintances, and they had a lot of food at home. A penny in the car.

The five mother and son got on the ox cart, which became heavier at a moment, and the ox that was pressed down stumbled back a few steps. Jiang Yan was secretly thankful that it was fortunate that he hadn't lifted the water, otherwise the ox would have to take a few steps back.

Jiang Yan took a last look at what she brought, two pots of cold tofu, three disc baskets, two empty buckets, a steamer and all the materials used. As for the tableware, Jiang Yan just picked five at home with no gaps. bowls and plates.

If you don't have enough, you can buy it directly on the street. After all, there are not enough bowls and chopsticks, which means that the business is good enough.

Lin Gui received the money, and the little leather whip drove the ox cart and said as he walked, "What is Aunt Jiang doing? Are you going to sell all this stuff in the town?"

Jiang Yan nodded and said, "It's not that I fiddled with some fresh food two days ago. I'm thinking of taking it to the town to see if I can sell it."

Everyone sighed, thinking it was a rumor from the village, but they didn't expect Aunt Jiang to really plan to do business.

"There are not many people in our village who do business. Aunt Jiang is amazing."

"Hey~, if I can sell it, I'm not greedy, I can make a few children no longer go hungry every day."

Jiang Yan deliberately said that the whole village will definitely know about her business. Everyone belongs to the same village, so there is no way to do this secretly. She just intends to let everyone know that she is in business, so that she can be open and aboveboard. Get rich and build a house!

Lin Gui didn't ask any more, but the others were whispering. Although the voice was small, the ox cart was so loud that Jiang Yan couldn't even hear it.

It's nothing more than saying that she will fail or something...

The ox cart swayed to Yong'an Town, and Jiang Yan fell asleep once in the middle. Fortunately, several sons were filial and sandwiched her in the middle, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

What Jiang Yan didn't know was that not long after they left, the silly boy Lin Feng quietly followed. Just go...

Jiang Yan looked at the familiar street. The small stalls on both sides were full. Now it was market time, and the streets were very lively with people coming and going.

It seems to be a bit late, and the good seats have been taken up.

"The hen, rooster, and chicks are on sale for cheap..."

"Big brother, big sister, children eat sesame seeds~ Delicious and cheap biscuits..."

"Baozi wonton big steamed bun..."

There were shouts everywhere on the street. One family shouted louder than the other. Jiang Yan and a few sons turned out of this street. This is the West Street, and most of the people coming and going are ordinary people.

Jiang Yan turned to the next-door East Street. There were not as many people on this street as on the West Street, but the street was full of shops and not many small stalls. Most of the people who came and went were locals in the town, that is, they were willing to spend money. people who eat.

Jiang Yan looked at her sons, tilted her head and said, "Follow me, don't run around."

A few people looked at the dazzling streets, each and everyone clenched the tools they were holding, pursed their lips and nodded.

Jiang Yan saw that there was a big tree not far away, and there was a wonton stand in the middle, but there was still a lot of empty seats on the side. Many big men were sitting on the ground, looking like they were enjoying the shade.

"Go over there, the location is right."

Several people nodded and followed behind Jiang Yan. The men watched them come over, and they also vacated some places. The five people set up their tools one by one.

"Boss, take Xiao Si to borrow two buckets of water. If they want money, come and ask me again."

"Mother, aren't you out of money?" Lin Bei wondered, otherwise why didn't you bring Xiao Wu with him.

Jiang Yan raised her head stiffly, and said embarrassedly, "I left some things for business use, you ghost, how much money does the old lady have to tell you!"

Lin Bei looked at the stern mother and scratched his head. He was no longer afraid of her, but he didn't dare to make her angry.

Jiang Yan quickly changed the subject and said, "I'm going to buy some things for use. The second and third, you wait here, pick up some firewood, and wait for the boss to come back and burn the water."

After dividing the work, Jiang Yancai went to the oil shop, bought half a can of soy sauce, and another half can of rapeseed oil, and then went to the grocery store to buy a cloth brush to brush the oil.

In the end, I bought some eggs and lean meat from the stall, but because they were all expensive, Jiang Yan had to find a place where no one was around to buy some in the mall.

This trip cost her 130 cents. The main reason is that eggs and meat are too expensive. Eggs now cost 2 cents a piece. They used to be [-] cent. Not to mention meat, [-] cents a pound has always been eaten by the Lin family. Amazing.

When she returned to the stall with her things in her arms, she saw Lin Dong and the others moved the stall closer to the wonton stall, and the water was bubbling and bubbling.

"Mother, I've agreed with Aunt Fang to borrow their table for use, so that when someone comes to eat, they won't have to worry about not having a place to sit." Lin Bei said with a smile, as if begging for compliments.
