after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 802

Chapter 802

The village head built a small high platform with blue bricks, and prepared tables, chairs and benches, and asked Lin Yuesha to sit on the high platform and continue storytelling.

Lin Yuesha glanced at the tea and Xingmu on the table, and her eyelids twitched a few times. She really regarded her as a storyteller, and the equipment was quite complete.

Forget it, asking someone to do something, you always have to pay something.

"The last book said that there is a Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, with a stone on the top of the mountain, which received the essence of the sun and the moon, and gave birth to a stone monkey. Later, because he successfully broke into the Water Curtain Cave, he was worshiped as the Monkey King by the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain..."

Lin Yuesha concentrated on reading the book, and more and more people came to listen to the book. She talked continuously for an hour, her voice was hoarse, and she stopped to rest.

"Mrs. Major General, I never expected that the story you told would be so wonderful!"

The village chief was so excited that his hands trembled. His ancestors in the village farmed the fields and went out to sell goods during the slack season. The surrounding villages were all engaged in the rice grain business. They couldn't offer any other gifts, but the rice grains were enough.

"We don't do the business of the generals of Qi, but you also contributed, so please accept a little thank you."

The village head beckoned, and the man behind him stepped forward and put down a bag of round-grained rice.

Wars broke out, food prices soared, and Wucheng did not produce japonica rice, which was bought by the villagers from the surrounding cities, which is very rare.

Lin Yuesha estimates that this bag of round-grained rice weighs at least a hundred catties, which is enough to express the sincerity of the villagers.

However, this amount is a drop in the bucket for military supplies.

"I wanted to give you some barley rice grown in our village, but the young lady is from the capital, so I'm afraid she might not be used to it."

The story was not finished, and the village head hoped that Lin Yuesha would have time to continue telling the villagers, but they would definitely give out a certain amount of rice as a reward.

"Village Chief, you know the purpose of my coming to the village."

Lin Yuesha is willing to tell the villagers free of charge, just to buy enough military supplies, and the money will be paid according to the market price. Of course, if the village chief wants to return favors, it is better to lower the price.

"This... can't be done."

The village head refused again, and it was not up to him alone to do Daqi's business. He had no choice but to join forces with the surrounding villages.

In addition, the villagers had a lot of opinions on Da Qi because the soldiers of Da Qi entered Wucheng and made a mess in the city, so the possibility of being willing to do this business is very low.

"Folks, please listen to me."

Lin Yuesha did not talk about Journey to the West, but talked about the current situation.

Aliens invaded Daqi with great ambitions. Daqi could not defend the border towns. Wucheng was an important place in the middle, so how could it be possible for it to be alone.

From the moment the foreign race entered the border, the balance has been broken.

"Our city lord took a fancy to Mr. Xu as his son-in-law, so he opened the city gate and exchanged one person for one city. Are these all rumors?"

They have great opinions on the city owner. Even if Wucheng cannot be preserved in the end, they should not be so hasty, at least give the people an explanation.

From the standpoint of an outsider, what the villagers said was not unreasonable. After the city lord made his decision, he didn't care about the thoughts of the people.

However, the incident happened suddenly, which is understandable.

"It's not just rumors, there's a little inside story in it."

Lin Yuesha recounted what she had seen and heard during the day, and it was obvious that the soaring food prices were caused by spies from other races.

"The city owner has some grain in his hand, but he refuses to take it out. He thinks about the people of Wucheng. If there is a natural disaster next year, he is always ready to open a warehouse to release grain. It is impossible for the people to have nothing to eat."

It was Lin Yuesha who understood the difficulties of the city lord of Wucheng that she didn't ask for food, but was willing to pay for military supplies.

"Young Madam, I can't make the decision on my own. Give me two days and wait for the news."

The village chief thought about it for a moment, but he still didn't say anything dead. He felt that talking about the truth with the rest of the village had little effect and would not have any effect.

After working all day, Lin Yuesha harvested a bag of japonica rice. When she left the village, almost everyone in the village came to see her off, just to hear her tell more about the plot of Journey to the West.

"Miss, where did you hear such a good story, it's so nice."

On the way back, white tea was lit on a small red clay stove, and a cup of highland barley wine given by the villagers was scalded.

After hearing this story, I still want to hear it. I am addicted to white tea, but she felt sorry for the young lady's voice, so she resisted asking.

"right."

Lin Yuesha was hungry, leaning against the wall of the car exhaustedly, thinking in her mind that there was little hope of buying food in Wucheng, and then she had to think about how to save food for at least [-] days.

It was only at this moment that Lin Yuesha felt the embarrassment of having money but not being able to spend it. There was no surplus food on hand, which affected the morale of the army.

When I returned to my place of residence in Wucheng, I just missed my meal.

"Miss, what would you like to have for dinner?"

The surrounding shops are still open, and white tea is ready to go out to buy.

"I don't have any appetite, so let's re-cook the remaining dumplings."

Lin Yuesha took white tea to the tea room and made sour soup dumplings with the leftover dumplings. Added vinegar, sesame and chili oil to the soup, and had a sour appetizer.

Regarding military supplies, we can't just rely on Wucheng, we have to send people to buy food and grass from the surrounding cities as soon as possible.

"Baicha, you light a candle, and I'll take another look at the account book."

The silver taels originally saved in the book were more than enough to buy military supplies, but Lin Yuesha ignored the soaring price brought by the war, and now the budget is 10,000+ taels more than before, which is just for buying food and grass.

In addition, increasing the purchase of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn can not only satisfy hunger, but also supplement nutrition for soldiers and change their taste.

"Young Madam, people from Qiuyue Class have arrived in Wucheng."

The little maid who was running errands came to deliver the news, and because people from Qiuyue's class rushed to Lin Yuesha, Xiao Qiuyue was invited into the waiting room of the City Lord's Mansion to wait.

"I'm going over here."

Lin Yuesha put down the account book and looked at the sky. Xiao Qiuyue didn't delay on the road, and went straight to Wucheng to find her without stopping.

It was a long journey from Cangzhou, and the members of the Qiuyue class sang opera all the way to the northwest, and it is estimated that they also suffered a lot on the way.

Lin Yuesha rushed to the living room, Xiao Qiuyue was drinking tea, and the rest were led to the guest courtyard to rest.

Xiao Qiuyue was dressed plainly, and was lowering her head to play with the down jacket on her body. When she saw Lin Yuesha coming, she quickly stood up with a smile.

"Why don't you go to Wucheng after a night's rest?"

Lin Yuesha asked Bai Cha to make tea again. She hadn't seen her for more than a month, and her old friend reunited. She felt close to Xiao Qiuyue when she saw Xiao Qiuyue.

"I'm in a hurry to send you money."

Xiao Qiuyue took out a jade pendant from her purse, and pushed it in front of Lin Yuesha, "A token from Wantong Bank."

The Qiuyue troupe sang operas all the way from Cangzhou to this place. Except for food, clothing, housing and transportation, the rest of the rewards and silver were saved by Xiao Qiuyue. In addition, jewelry, with too big goals, is easy to be missed by others, and it is not as real as gold and silver. All the big pawn shops he found along the way were cashed out.
