The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 31

Father Hu couldn't help but went forward to chat with him, and when he came back, he patted his chest, looking very scared.

"Fortunately, we ran fast! That village is a den of the King of the Mountain. This group of people robbed them when they passed by the village in broad daylight. It's a good thing they have so many followers with them."

"What does this family do?" Everyone was curious about this.

"It's said to be from the Fu family in Chengdu, but we don't know the origin of this Fu family. It looks like it's either rich or expensive." Men are no worse than women when it comes to gossip.

The next day, all the water bladders were filled in the inn, and the boys changed into bunts and straw sandals, and they were all full of energy.Everyone ate a bowl of meat chaoshou bigger than their faces, and left satisfied.

Not long after they set off, the Fu family also came out, and the two pedestrians took the same route, which was also in the direction of Dongqing Mansion. This was Cuihua's second prefecture destination after leaving Chengdu Mansion, Dongqing Mansion.

Dongqing Prefecture is famous for the settlement of different ethnic groups. There are five or six ethnic minorities living in this prefecture. Although there is a custom of intermarriage with the Han nationality, its own cultural characteristics are very distinctive. This area is rich in cattle and sheep. The cattle are yaks and the sheep are goats.

It may be that the two teams seem to have a size of hundreds of people, or it may be that they are lucky, and they arrived at Dongqing Mansion without much trouble along the way.

Looking at the bustling crowd in Fucheng and the residents wearing all kinds of ethnic minority accessories, the little brats are so rare.

"What are they wearing on their heads?"

"Their clothes are so pretty!"

"That young lady wears a lot of glitter on her hair!"

"They adults and children don't even wear shoes!" There was a whispered discussion from the children in the car, as if they had never seen the world!
There are more inns to choose from in Fucheng, and the attendants of the Fu family actually came to discuss and wanted to find the same inn to live together.

Finally, I found an inn above the average level. The head of the purchasing team was Cuihua, and her key member was Yuan Damei.

The investigation team is Qian Laoyao, Yuan Laosan, and Zhao Xiucai's son Zhao Qingshan (30 years old).

Zhao Qingshan didn't inherit his father's ability to read, he could read almost all characters, he could write and count, and he worked as a bookkeeper in a restaurant in Qing County.This person has a very smooth personality, and he smiles when he meets everyone. In modern terms, he has a good affinity.

Jiang Laidi, who was severely suppressed along the way, asked to go shopping with her, and the guy who had pretended to be sick for so many years at her in-law's house was actually doing well after this journey.

Mrs. Zhang whispered to Cuihua many times behind her back:
"Look, I said she was just pretending in the past. Use this trick to manipulate your brother. Your brother's big fool is not only working outside, but also serving this bitch at home. I saw him washing her for her once. Clothes, I am so angry that my chest hurts!"

"Then you still want her to pretend to be sick on the road? Isn't that good? Don't cause trouble for everyone!" Cuihua and the slime made it a mess many times.

Cuihua carried a basket on her back, took Yuan Damei, Zhang Shi, and Jiang Laidi, and the purchasing group set off.

This time I didn't go to the grain store, but went to Caishi Street after inquiring all the way.

There is a street here, which is dedicated to the daily life of residents. It is said that the meat market is very famous.

This alley is only five or six meters wide, and there are stalls on both sides of the alley made of cloth. On the left hand side are fresh slaughtered goods, and on the right hand side are cooked food and dry goods for sale.

Cuihua was more interested in dry goods, so she took Yuan Damei and Mrs. Zhang to the first shop on the right.

Jiang Laidi saw that the fresh yak meat could not walk, so she went to the left to see the fresh meat. Anyway, this alley is not too long, and it is not far from the inn, so Cuihua let her go.

"We let your brother hold all the money he got after he was seriously injured. It is estimated that she has a lot of money in her hand. I think this bitch is a prodigal!" Zhang looked at the back of her young daughter-in-law, very dissatisfied.

"That's money earned by other men, why don't you give it to others? Mother, you should take care of her less and me more!"

"I can still run from Hu's house to your Yuan's house to tell me what to do! You really look good on your mother!"

While the mother and daughter were talking, they went to the dry goods store at the same time, so Sister Yuan didn't get involved with the mother and daughter's heart-to-heart.

Cuihua mainly likes that this is a shop run by a Han Chinese, and it is convenient for communication.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the people of the Great Xia Dynasty are already very experienced in air-dried meat. There should not be too much dried yak meat and lamb leg meat hanging on the wall.

The shop owner also took a beef leg and showed them that it was meat that had been air-dried for more than three years.

The meat has been dried to the hardness of a stone, yak thighs cost 2 taels of silver each, and 5 lamb legs cost 1 taels of silver. Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath and pulled Cuihua's sleeves.Cuihua knew that she thought it was too expensive, but she didn't want to miss such a good jerky.

The boss got a toothache from haggling over the price, and the boss finally said: "Fortunately, you came to my store to bargain. You should try to bargain in those barbarian stores in the back, and they will beat you directly!"

"What's the reason?" "It doesn't make sense. The barbarians don't like bargaining. They think the Han people are cunning. If you want to bargain, they will get angry."

"You can still buy and sell by force, and the government doesn't care?"

"The government doesn't dare to take care of it. This group of people fights from the young to the old, and they are very grouped together! You didn't look at the market. I, a Han, were selling it. It was the meat bought by one of their farthest tribes when we went. Fuck, this tribe fights more fiercely, they dare not provoke them."

The mother and daughter looked at each other with a bad feeling, and Sister Yuan rubbed the corner of her clothes uneasily.

In the end, he bought 20 yak thighs, 100 lamb legs, and 100 catties of pure jerky for a total of 60 taels of silver. Zhang's heart ached.After Cuihua whispered to her about the silver reward given by Princess Shu, she got better.The owner of the jerky shop also kindly offered the service of delivering the goods to the inn, for big customers.

Then I walked inside and found a handmade leather boots shop, which made cowhide and sheepskin boots.

In this store, I bought a pair of leather boots for the old Yuan's family and her mother's family. I thought that after winter, it will be the second half of the year, and the children's boots will be 2 sizes bigger. I will give them to my friends. jiojio a little space.

The black-faced man was overjoyed to see the three women actually bought more than twenty pairs of leather boots, and he gave Cuihua a leather water bag as a gift. See, the ethnic minorities are not so unreasonable.

Sister Yuan helped carry a basket of shoes, and the three of them continued to stroll inside, and were about to enter a delicatessen shop.

Familiar voices came from the front, "What are you doing?" "Hit a woman!" "Ah! Help!" The three of them secretly called Bad Cai and squeezed in.

I saw Jiang Laidi and Jiang Zhaodi sisters sitting down in the middle of the alley, their faces were swollen and their hair was disheveled. A big man was grabbing Jiang Laidi's hair and slapping her face hard.

A group of people gathered around to watch, not daring to go forward, and the shop assistants seemed to be talking to their accomplices in minority languages.

Cuihua stepped forward, pinched the hand of the big man who was slapping his mouth, and with a little force, the man yelled, and a circle of people surrounded Cuihua, all of them showing displeasure.

"Who can tell what happened?" Seeing her sister-in-law, Jiang Laidi cried loudly:
"Her aunt, you're finally here. These barbarians, I paid back the price and got angry with us. I just said a few words, and they got started and slapped us a few times. You have to do it for us!" Revenge! Woohoo"

There was a young man in the group who spoke quite well, and he yelled at Cuihua: "They have been looking at our meat for a long time, and they have touched our meat for a long time. We want to sell it for 150 yuan a catty, but she actually offered us a counter-offer of 100 yuan!" Wen, wanted to steal our meat, but we caught him!"

Cuihua was about to die of anger, looking at these two women.

"Here, didn't this not be stolen? We squeezed it a few times, and it didn't steal it." It was too embarrassing. Being caught, I was still not convinced and wanted to piss off.

"Apologize!" Cuihua ordered coldly to the two sisters of the Jiang family, her voice was cold and emotionless, Jiang Laidi shivered a few times in fright, the sister-in-law's eyes were too frightening, and she murmured, "We made a mistake, we won't dare again !" This group of people saw that the new woman was reasonable, and the angry crowd closed their eyes.

"Which piece of meat did they steal, I bought it!" After paying the money, he turned to the beating man, "Did you hit him with your right hand just now?" The man nodded, not knowing why.

In just a few breaths, the big man screamed "Ah!" The crowd around the audience saw the big man just now, his right hand was broken at a strange angle, and he could feel his pain just by hearing the sound, and the crowd was sluggish.

After reacting, a few guys with meat cleavers walked towards Cuihua, and this group of people were all shocked: these soft-bodied Han people dare to hurt people, and they are still women!

Among these people's ethnic group, women have no status. They can be beaten and scolded at will, and it's not bad to be beaten by a Han woman.

Sliding past a young man, snatched his machete, and swiped the knife horizontally towards two large pieces of yak meat hanging up. These two pieces are complete half pieces of yak with ribs. , the body of the cow was broken into two pieces.

There was no sound at all, and the group of people who rushed forward stopped, "Do you want to fight?" Where did this crazy woman come from, she is really more barbaric than a barbarian.

No one responded, and Cuihua left with the quail-like Jiang family sisters.
