Villager of Daming

Chapter 316 How to spend a hundred meals (fifth change)

The boat sailed on the water, crossed the Yanzhi River, entered Shijiu Lake, and then entered Danyang Lake from Shijiu Lake.

Then the team divided into two groups, took the Huangchi River into Wuhu, and turned to Dangtu, which belonged to Taiping Mansion.

The other road enters Juxi from Danyang Lake, goes south, and enters Wanxi when it reaches Xuancheng, and it is a short distance to the pier.

The four of them did not follow them, and disembarked at two places in Shijiu Lake, and there were people watching at the door of the shop here.

"My dear friend, the two of us are..." The student came to the door and asked the person who was sitting there weaving bamboo baskets.

"The department store in Xiaqiu Village? Have you brought your keys? Go in and order some goods. If there is any shortage, I will count as mine." The basket weaver stood up.

"Okay, thank you!" The student thanked him, took out the key to open the lock, pushed the door, and some ash fell down.

The two of them went in, took off the latch inside the window, and opened the window.

The light shone in, and the two men saw packed boxes and bags, with seals and lacquer seals at the seals.

After comparing and confirming that there is no problem, they are disassembled one by one, each person has an account book, and the goods are ordered there.

"Put it outside. It's bright outside. No one will steal it. Let's protect the business in Xiaqiu Village." The man outside shouted.

"My surname is Ma, and his surname is Qian." The student surnamed Ma thought it made sense when he heard it.

Soon a group of people came over, helped to carefully lift the things outside, and stood there watching.

The two of them lighted the same, and after ordering one kind, they took out a few and put them on the counter and grid inside, and put the rest away.

The same is true for the department store on the other side. Some people help, and the things in Xiaqiu Village have to be guarded.

The sun moved slowly, and the people who had been watching just now had dispersed, leaving only a few children squatting in the shade and waiting.

The children came to bring water, boiled hot water, and put some tea leaves. The two students drank when they were thirsty, and the children followed suit.

"Horse shopkeeper, money shopkeeper, let's order again in the afternoon! It's time to eat." After a while, the people here came to say hello.

"Okay! I'm really tired, my waist! I'll be fine tomorrow, and I can start selling." Ma Hui stood up and twisted his waist.

Qian Dushi also wiped off the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, panting twice: "Who's going to eat at? It's agreed, we'll pay for it."

"Eating at the pier, look ahead, they're all here. You don't need to pay, you don't need two pairs of chopsticks.

Let's learn from Xiaqiu Village now, everyone eats together, saving fire and labor.

Each family is counted according to the head, no matter how big or small, each person pays a share, and it doesn't matter if you eat more or less. "

The person looking for it pointed to the front, and the department store was not far from the pier, so it was convenient for others to come and buy things.

"Then each of us will contribute a share." Ma Hui heard that it was no problem to join in.

"Go and tell the village chief, I don't care, now there are two village chiefs in this lake, and one person is in charge of half of the lake.

They all go to their respective docks for meals, and some of them are far away.

As soon as the wheat was harvested, Xiaqiu Village agreed to build two waterwheels for us to grind flour. "

This person was walking on the side, turning his head to talk to the two students.

"Since it's far away, why not get together? The lake is not small." Qian Dushi suggested.

"We raise ducks and geese, how do we raise them together? They are scattered, and several families live together, which just happens to be a piece of land.

When fishing for crabs this autumn, the crab baskets will be placed according to the location, and the boat will walk on it to deliver the goods.

Now every family has a boat, and we have money, which is a day that we could not even imagine before.

Don't be afraid of anything you encounter here, with us here, we will protect the people in Xiaqiu Village.arrive. "

This person was talking, and rows of long tables and chairs appeared in front of him.

Next to it is the kitchen for cooking, and a shed on three sides is built outside the kitchen to keep out the wind.

"Two sit down quickly, oh, wash your hands first, here." Many people are already here.

Each of them carries a plate, just like a box restaurant. The meals are piled up next to each other and served by themselves, and there is a special bowl for soup.

"Are you the chief?" Qian Dushi asked after washing his hands.

"You can just call me Lao Huang. I don't know what you like to eat. Let's see if you can eat it. If it doesn't work, let me make it." The man looked polite.

"Lichang Huang, we both agreed when we came here that we have to pay. How do we calculate the money?"

Qian Dushi mentioned money first, so he shouldn't develop the bad habit of eating other people's food for free.

"One hundred dollars per person." Huang Lichang raised his index finger.

"How is it calculated once?" Ma Hui didn't understand, he thought it was paid on a monthly basis.

"Regardless of men, women, old or young, newborn babies are also counted, take out one hundred coins, and hand them in when you run out.

You wait for the next time, when you pay the money next time, you pay it. It’s not easy to collect it now. I have to count how much is left, and then divide it according to the person. It’s troublesome. "

Lichang Huang introduced the situation and asked the two to hand it in later.

Qian Dushi and Ma Hui exchanged glances with each other, meaning that the handover will be delivered soon, because there is meat in the dish, so how much can one meal be eaten for [-] Wen?

"Okay, then we will take advantage of it for a few days." Ma Hui expressed his gratitude.

"It's okay, you can eat!" Huang Lichang waved his hands.

"Lichang Huang, when did you pay the money last time?" Qian Dushi asked curiously.

"The last time...uh...has been two months?" Huang Lichang recalled.

The person next to him spoke up.

"There is."

"A few more days!"

"How much money is left? Let's pay if there is not enough money."

"The main reason is that there must be no less seasoning, and there is no seasoning to make the fish smell."

"Yes, don't worry, there are still a lot of them, and it will be fine for another two months." Huang Lichang nodded.

Ma Hui and Qian Dushi looked at each other again: "..."

Qian Dushi touched Huang Lichang: "Huang Lichang, how did you spend your money? I think there is meat."

"Buy seasonings! Pepper, aniseed, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, grass fruit, amomum, salt, vinegar, sugar, cooking wine, isn't this money?"

Huang Lichang looked like the money we asked for was real and not fake.

"What about meat? Where about rice noodles?" Ma Hui emphasized meat and staple food.

"Fish meat and rabbit meat, there are few people here, rabbits run wild, and whoever catches them throws them into the kitchen.

There are also fish, just cast a few nets, or take a bag, and there will be.

Rice noodles are exchanged with fish and people on the shore. Jiangning County is very big, and we all belong to Jiangning County.

Some people specialize in farming. We caught fish and walked to the Yanzhi River, where the Qinhuai River connects.

There are people setting up stalls to buy and sell things there every day. Can there be more fish in his river than in the lake?
In the evening, we put the shrimp pots and send them over with the shrimps in exchange for rice noodles and rapeseed oil.

Whoever has free time, find a few people to change, and after the change, take it back for everyone to eat.

We grow the vegetables ourselves. Whoever has more, quickly pick them up and take them here for cooking. Today’s cucumbers are a bit old.

I have to stare at cucumbers to eat at night, whose land is it!It would be nice to take it off two days earlier. "

Huang Lichang introduced himself while serving food, and complained that the cucumbers in the field were picked late.

"My family wanted to pick them two days ago, but the fourth family picked them first, and then Feng Xiaoliu picked eggplants and cowpeas.

My family ran to pick it early in the morning, otherwise it would be over again, and there would be too many plants. "

A person next to him made a sound, looking very helpless.

Ma Hui and Qian Dushi: "..."
