Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 209 We accepted the job

You must know that people everywhere are closely watching who has food. There is a severe drought in the north and several counties are short of food. Floods in the south have caused several cities to have no harvest this year. All the grain shops in the city that still have food have closed down. .

Anyone who can get food at this time can definitely be called a capable person.

So the second boss and the third boss are both wondering whether the old woman in front of them is just telling them nonsense?
"If you are willing to take this job, I can give you 30,000 taels as a deposit first, or I can give you 10,000 jins of grain as a deposit first." Ke Muqing said, "And I promise you, I don't think you will hurt too many brothers. , as long as you are willing to take this job..."

Ke Muqing thought about it for a few seconds, and then said, "I can provide you with twenty fire poles. With the help of the fire poles, I can always help you."

Ke Muqing was still not sure about the identity of this group of rebels, so she didn't dare to say that she had too many accusations at once.

Twenty, not many, she reckoned it would be effective.

But when the second master and the third master heard the news, their eyes almost fell out of their heads, especially the third master's beard.

"Aren't you, an old lady, trying to trick us? Do you still have a fire stick?" asked the third master, "You have money and can produce food and fire sticks. Since you have such ability, how can you still have a fire stick?" Found us?"

"I have some ways to get these things, but I can't get the manpower." Ke Muqing said truthfully, "So, do you want to take this job or not? If you do, please do it as soon as possible. Yandangshan doesn't take human life seriously. , I’m afraid that if I delay for one more day, my children will suffer for one more day.”

"Do you have a map?" Ke Muqing asked.

It was enough that she set aside enough time to arrange.

The Third Master smiled and nodded, then took out a simple map from his sleeve.

The second boss quickly stretched out his hand and took it, as if he was afraid that Ke Muqing would refuse to eat it for a second.

The Third Master looked at Ke Muqing again and smiled, "Then please ask the aunt to put forward 30,000 taels of silver and 10,000 kilograms of grain as a deposit. We at Weihushan will definitely take care of the aunt's affairs after receiving the deposit!" "

Ke Muqing took two steps forward, took a look, then clicked on one of the mountain passes and said, "We will pick up the goods here in an hour."

Ke Muqing had already observed the terrain when he arrived. This place was blocked by a mountain that collapsed due to the earthquake, thus forming a dead end, so no one would walk here.

He touched it as if he were looking at a treasure, and then handed it to the third master, "Third son, do you think this is a fire stick?"

"Have I ever seen it before?" The third master didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just took it to his nose and smelled it. "It smells like saltpeter. I don't think this lady would fool us with such a thing."

"Although I am old, I never speak big words. This is a sign of fire. Just look at it."

She only wanted to deliver the goods and did not need to explain to these people how her goods came from.

Ke Muqing knew what the two were hesitating about, so she took out a torch from her bag and handed it over.

After finishing speaking, the third master nodded towards the second master, "Second brother, let's accept this job. You can immediately send a message to eldest brother Feige and tell him about this."

Ke Muqing left the fire stick to the two of them to play with and study. After setting a time, she hurried down the mountain. After making sure that no one was following her, she found Chen Changtai and the others, and asked the three of them to stay where they were and wait for her not to go away. Then she The man on horseback left first.

Ke Muqing was also a very vigilant person. She made sure that no one was following her before riding her horse to the promised mountain col.

When it was almost the agreed time, Ke Muqing took out all the grain and several boxes of silver at once. It was agreed that the deposit would be 10,000 kilograms of grain, but Ke Muqing directly paid for 30,000 kilograms.

Thirty thousand taels of silver were also filled with several wooden boxes, and Ke Muqing sat on top of these wooden boxes.

The second master and the third master arrived on time. They came with people. Judging from the expressions of the two and everyone else, they seemed to be a little unconvinced on the way there, so after they arrived, they did not go to Ke Muqing. Seeing the sacks piled behind Ke Muqing, the eyes of several people changed.

Everyone is very familiar with the sacks used to hold grain in grain stores. The sack behind Ke Muqing is the sack used to hold grain in grain shops.

The second master and the third master rode forward on their horses and jumped off their horses when they arrived. They didn't bother to say hello to Ke Muqing and just touched the grain through the sacks.

"It's rice that's been stripped of its husks!" The Third Master was astonished. "The 30,000 jins of grain you mentioned, aunt, are 30,000 jins of rice that's been husked?"

"Yes." Ke Muqing nodded, "Here are 30,000 kilograms of rice and 30,000 taels of silver. You can order and collect them yourself. Once you have collected the items, you can do things for me as soon as possible."

Ke Muqing said, "I keep my word. If you can kill King Zhuang, I will add another 30,000 kilograms of rice."

Considering that these people are basically from the south, the food Ke Muqing gave them was rice.

"Okay!" The second master responded loudly, patting the sacks containing grain, "Auntie, be happy! We and other men will not lose to auntie! We have decided on Prince Zhuang's head! We will also make a profit from auntie's 30,000 kilograms of grain. deal!"

The second master gestured to the people behind him, and the group of people ran towards this side. Everyone in the group let out a whoop, patting here and touching there.

Everyone was surprised that it was really all food.

"Brothers, take all our food and money back! After putting away our things, it's time for us to go and work our lives!" The second master waved his hands and shouted to everyone.

"There are twenty fire poles in this baggage, please keep it." Ke Muqing also handed over the baggage on his shoulders, "When you go to Yandang Mountain, I want to go with you."

After saying that, Ke Muqing picked up the whip on his waist and whipped it hard towards the rocks on the roadside, "I won't hold you back."

"Auntie is also a martial arts practitioner?" asked the third master.

"I'm not a martial arts practitioner. I'm just naturally strong and have learned some tricks with whips." Ke Muqing explained.

"Okay, my aunt is stronger than many of our brothers." The second master agreed, and then he followed the others to carry the rice.

More than 30,000 kilograms of rice sounds like a lot, but the people in Weiwu Mountain are very strong. One person can carry a hundred kilograms, which is enough for three hundred people.

Ke Muqing didn't know how many people there were in Weiwu Mountain, but after these people returned, Ke Muqing also went back to find Chen Changtai and the others. After waiting for half an hour, more than 3,000 people came down from Weiwu Mountain.

"Auntie, let's go." The second master shouted with a loud voice from all the way to Ke Muqing and the others, "We know there is a shortcut that can get to Yandang Mountain faster."

When it comes to taking shortcuts, you really need to follow someone who knows how to take them. The group set out before noon and followed the mighty people all the way around. Before the sun set, they arrived near Yandang Mountain in Zhuang County.
