My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.
Chapter 189 Waiting for them to fall out
Chapter 189 Waiting for them to fall out
Jiang Tangtang really felt that the meat on the market was not enough, and wanted to buy more, so he said: "One head may not be enough. I also want to buy a few more heads to make cured meat as thank-you gifts for relatives and friends. Do you have any at home?"
"Don't worry, auntie, my whole family lives in the countryside and raises a lot of pigs. If I don't have enough, you can go to my relatives' house to pick some. It doesn't matter how much you want."
In fact, this big man was a pig dealer. He often went to the countryside to sell pigs and came back to kill them and sell the meat. Seeing Jiang Tangtang's bold move, he immediately wanted to win business.
Jiang Tangtang looked at him and said, "Are you the only one who kills pigs?"
The man patted his chest and said, "Auntie, don't worry! I'm very strong. I can hold down a pig weighing two to three hundred kilograms with one hand without anyone's help."
As he spoke, he showed Jiang Tangtang a hand.There was a large stone pier in the market, weighing at least three to four hundred kilograms, and he picked it up easily.
This strength was so great that Jiang Tangtang almost wanted to recruit him to work for him.
However, thinking that she had hidden her whereabouts when she came to Qiongzhou this time, she temporarily suppressed her thoughts and asked: "Then if I want to buy ten pigs, how long do you think it will take to get them together?"
"Ten heads?" Although the man had already guessed based on Jiang Tangtang's dress and behavior that she was rich and could spend so much money on a wedding banquet for his son in this troubled world, he was still surprised.
But soon, he adjusted his expression and said: "There are a lot of pigs here. It's a bit troublesome to bring them to the city, but it's not difficult. Just give me half a day."
"There's no need to send him to the city. Just give me your address and I'll ask my son to go to the village to find you. Then he'll just go home."
Jiang Tangtang secretly apologized to the soldier who was going to be sent to hold him back tomorrow, and he could only take advantage of him.
"Auntie, just ask your son to come to Dayu Village to find me. My surname is Nie, and everyone calls me Nie Dali. You will know when you come and ask."
Nie Dali immediately accepted a big order and was very excited. He immediately planned to go back and prepare.
But I saw that although Jiang Tangtang could negotiate prices when buying things, he was obviously not a local and didn't know many tricks.
So before leaving, he whispered again: "Auntie, your son-in-law should not only buy meat for the wedding banquet, but also rice, grain, wedding cakes and the like, right?"
Jiang Tangtang was not in a hurry to buy food at the moment, but seeing his mysterious look, he seemed to have some connections inside, so he hurriedly said: "Isn't it true that the eldest brother has some connections?"
Nie Dali looked around and whispered: "It's okay for you to buy meat. Apart from the price rising higher than before, there is no other hindrance.
But now the rice and grain shops in the city are owned by the prefect's brother-in-law. Not only are the prices of grain expensive, but you also have to look at the road signs. If you buy too much, you will get into trouble even if you have a road guide.If you want to buy food, it's best to ask relatives at home to make more trips. "
Almost instantly, Jiang Tangtang thought of the reason for such controls on grain stores in the city.Isn't this just to prevent their army?
While Jiang Tangtang was extremely angry, he looked at Nie Dali a little more cautiously.
Did she show her weakness somewhere?
Or was he just reminding her out of kindness?
Jiang Tangtang suppressed the doubts in her heart and thanked Nie Dali carefully. She also became more cautious in her next actions.
In addition to secretly moving some things into the space when the carriage was about to run out, she also deliberately walked several times on the street when she went back to make sure no one was following her before returning to the courtyard.
When Jiang Tangtang returned to the yard, Lu Shiyan had already returned. He couldn't help but rub his nose when he saw Jiang Tangtang's appearance, "You can just let Uncle Kuang and Aunt Kuang handle this small matter. Why bother to go there yourself?"
Uncle Kuang was an old man from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. He used to fight with the old Marquis at the border. After the old Marquis died, Lu Shiyan took the initiative to return his deed and gave him a sum of money to support him.
Later, when he learned that everyone in the Hou family was exiled to Lingnan, he rushed over.Now, on the surface, he is an old man who helps the owner guard the old house in the courtyard. In fact, in addition to collecting intelligence, he is also responsible for helping to contact the people who used to work with the old marquis.
Jiang Tangtang felt that it was more convenient for him to buy things with his own space, but the specific reason was difficult to explain to him, so he said coquettishly: "I want to go out for a walk!"
Lu Shiyan said a little apologetically: "When I have time next time, I will definitely go shopping with you."
Jiang Tangtang has no interest in shopping now. She just wants to ask Lu Shiyan what happened in the Xiang Mansion early this morning.
She didn't ask, but those smart eyes said everything.
Lu Shiyan was funny at the same time, but he rubbed her hair helplessly and said: "Change your clothes, let's go out of the city first, and talk while walking on the road."
Jiang Tangtang quickly went back to the room and changed her clothes. This time she didn't dress up like an aunt, but put on a little makeup to cover up her original appearance.
Not only him, Lu Shiyan also slightly modified it.
The looks of the two of them are really amazing. Even if they stand alone on the street, they are very eye-catching. If they are together, they will be even more eye-catching.
Next, Jiang Tangtang wants to visit all the corrupt officials in Lingnan, but he doesn't want to draw attention to himself.
Lu Shiyan darkened his skin and put a pair of beards on the corners of his lips.Although he still looks handsome, he is a little older than before.
The two dressed up as a father and daughter and left the city easily without arousing anyone's suspicion.
On the way, Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang talked about what happened in Xiang Mansion in the early morning.
It turns out that although Xiang Wanlin issued a death order last night, not allowing the maids around Xiao to return to the Central Protector's Mansion to report the news, the news spread anyway. Moreover, Xiao's two brothers were on business in Qiongzhou, and immediately after receiving the news Then he came to Xiang Mansion with his sword in hand.
Speaking of which, Xiao's father and several brothers were the ones who had such a bold temperament.
The Xiao family doesn't care about the scandal caused by Mrs. Xiao's adultery with her adopted son.Anyway, it was wrong for Xiang Wanlin to stab Mrs. Xiao with a knife.
Therefore, after the two Xiao brothers saw their sister's miserable state, they started to quarrel with Xiang Wanlin on the spot.
"Did the Xiang family and the Xiao family have a falling out?" Jiang Tangtang's eyes widened, "Then the Xiao family's soldiers won't help the Xiang family anymore, right?"
"The interests between the two families are deeply entangled. Nowadays, the Xiao brothers can at most give Xiang Wanlin a beating and get angry before they fall out completely. But -" Lu Shiyan stopped as he spoke. Come down.
Jiang Tangtang said anxiously: "But what?"
Lu Shiyan raised his hand and pinched her nose, and then said: "If Xiang Wanlin's hoarded money and food are gone, it will be hard to say."
Jiang Tangtang chuckled.
Then she doesn't have to worry anymore, the two families are bound to have a falling out.
