Chapter 180 Rich in the mountains with distant relatives(1/2)

Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by the attitude of the two Xu brothers towards the man from the blacksmith shop.

I can't figure it out and I feel a little confused.

Because during those days when I went out to work, I only taught these two brothers that there are no people in this world who are nice to you for no reason. There are not many female generals like that, and those who are will only be met by their nieces. They are not like that.

That kind of good luck.

For example, Xu Laosan could get an extra bag of pears by carrying wood, but his boss was afraid that he would turn around and vomit blood and die.

Like Xu Laosi digging into the sewers, if the person who supervises his work every time gives him two more dry rations, it only means that he will be assigned to do the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous work.

So I always feel that there is either a reason, or the proactive price reduction is a trap.

Xu Youcang and Xu Youyin planned to find someone to inquire.

The two came to the grain store.

On this trip, Mrs. Xu also brought a lot of money to the two brothers separately, so that they would go out in vain, let alone spend half a tael of silver on hiring an ox cart to run empty.

Pull back.

Xu Youyin asked the waiter at the grain store: "Brother, I want to ask you something. Do you know Wu Blacksmith's house in Zhenxi?"

"What are you asking about? Where are you from?"

"Where can we be from? It's from Erdaohe Village below our town."

Xu Youyin got close to the waiter again and said:

"To be honest, little brother, we just ordered something at Wu's blacksmith shop. I wanted to negotiate with him on the price. To be honest, I negotiated the price very hard, and he agreed after that.

You said how scary this was, and you didn’t hesitate. How could anyone buy or sell like this?

He also took the initiative to reassure us that he would hurry up.

I'm a little confused. Could it be that the price of iron has dropped?

What’s even more scary is that my niece’s name was mentioned, and the two of us wanted to find out.

Could it be that the group of people recently arrested are related to his family in some way?"

What the Xu brothers were most worried about was that they were afraid that Blacksmith Wu might want to ask Xu Tianxin to do something for him, so that he could be freed or something like that.

That's not okay. If you let one bad person go, there may be a hundred more low-level people out there who suffer.

Xu Youyin didn't expect that he wanted to be at fault at all. It happened to be two extremes.

Moreover, the waiter at the grain store also immediately changed his attitude. His eyes lit up and he asked more enthusiastically than before: "Erdaohe, your surname is Xu?"

"ah."

"Hey? I heard that your family entertained a high official, a female general, a few days ago. How did you entertain them, and how did you get to know them..."

The two Xu brothers finally figured it out. They asked about where the soldiers and generals ate, where they lived, and whether they showed off their martial arts skills. They also asked about horses and horse dung. Their faces were full of curiosity, and they shouted to the other waiters in the grain store.

Come over and gather around the two brothers to gossip and ask them if they are going to kneel down to welcome you.

The Xu brothers never expected that people in the town would be so trustworthy and the news would spread very quickly.

When they came out of the village, they finally realized that the weather outside had changed.

Xu Youyin smiled modestly and told what he had to answer. For example, the female general is very approachable. The soldiers can eat whatever our families eat, and there is no need for the villagers to kneel down to greet them. Regarding the matter of rectifying the names of the left-wing general and his party.

On the matter, he must not be vague.

As for the reward for not giving him food, how could his niece, a country girl, become a fifth-grade general? He didn't look for a squire or a place to settle, but only looked for his niece. With all these questions, Xu Youyin just smiled vaguely and modestly. It was really...

No comment.

The waiter was probably a human spirit, so he didn't bother asking any more questions. He just tapped Xu Youcang's chest gently with his fists, which made his fists hurt a little. He glanced at Xu Youcang's hard-working position and murmured in his mind: What's wrong with practicing?

Then he said politely, "It is said in the town that good times are ahead for your Xu family. From now on, at least even the wealthy squires will not dare to look down upon your family."

That’s why everyone is curious and asks more questions, don’t be surprised.

Then, the waiter told Blacksmith Wu why he was like this:

"Everyone in the town knows about his family's affairs. His little daughter is very handsome... After she married out of town, her husband's family also heard about being haunted, and they scolded her for being unclean and said that her whole body was being touched.

However, his little daughter couldn't hold her head up at her husband's house.

And because his little daughter was in a hurry to get married, you don’t understand what some black matchmakers say. Marriage is tied to a thousand miles, and it all depends on the matchmaker making it up for you. Somehow, you believed that matchmaker and married the little son-in-law who was far away.

Another one who loves to hit people.

Last year, Lao Wu's little girl passed by the door of our shop. Although she was wearing thick clothes, she couldn't cover the bruises on her face and her forehead was broken. We guessed that she must have been beaten badly and ran back to her parents' house.

In addition, in order to protect his sister, his eldest son suffered a broken leg and was treated for half a year. Although he no longer walks with a limp, he heard that he couldn't bear it. A good blacksmith shop and a famous good craftsmanship passed down to the third generation, but his eldest son

I can’t take that share anymore.”

Another waiter told:

"So don't worry. Wu Tiejiang must have heard that your niece knew the senior official, and that's why he asked the senior official to be arrested by those evil officials. He sold it to your family cheaply just to vent his anger.

His family has owned an iron shop for three generations.

As for the so-called cheapness, hahaha, let me tell you the truth, maybe I earned you too much last time, and this time I earn less or make it flat to express my gratitude. If it were me, I would do the same."

Well, I made too much last time.

But Xu Youcang and Xu Youyin were happy because they were proud of their niece.

It turns out that this is what the elders in the village often say: blessings are in places you can't see.

I didn't expect that my niece and General Lu Yan's "no words" could have such an effect.

Well, the whole village has adopted the same tone now, and our Tian Xin really didn’t say anything. He just said a few words, so can he still be sued?

The Xu brothers thought:

I don't know if there are many people like Wu Tiejiang who have good thoughts about Tian Xin, nor can I guess how many people at the bottom of the class have been oppressed by those who do all kinds of evil.

If it's more, I don't actually expect everyone to be as grateful as Blacksmith Wu. I just hope that those people can say some good things about Xu Tianxin after beating their hearts and letting out the bad breath. This will also accumulate blessings for their children.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Youyin said to Xu Youcang, "Third brother, I am suddenly not afraid that those caught fish will retaliate against our family." If there is revenge, there will be others that you can't see.

Places will suddenly appear to protect and thank our people, a double-edged sword.

Xu Youcang smiled disdainfully: "I have never been afraid. Our village is the most united now, and they all work in our house. Mother and Tian Xin are still too busy to leave the village easily. Even if Tian Xin leaves the village, don't forget

Our niece has that thing, and when she sprinkles the powder on it, she becomes blind. She takes it with her whenever she goes out, and she doesn't even know why she is blind."

Xu Youcang still doesn't understand what it is. She only knows that when her niece made it, he accidentally knocked it over and the powder flew up, making him blind for more than an hour. He quickly washed his eyes and was forced to use a broom by his mother.

It's better to beat him up and cry, and shed a burst of tears. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if you aimed one at the bad guy's eyes.

"Fourth, let's get down to business."

Tsk, who is the third brother ordering? Xu Youyin was completely relieved and happily asked about the price of food.

Ever since the waiter knew that these were Erdaohe and the Xu brothers, he knew everything about them.

Not only did he explain in detail, but the price of rice is still 22 cents per catty, fine noodles are 18 cents, rhubarb rice is 30 cents, and glutinous rice is 25 cents per catty. Since the price of grain is no longer controlled by the county government, but by the capital.

The government has regulated the situation, and food prices have been very stable.

And I kindly informed you that the price of coarse grains has been reduced. It is said that a batch of coarse grains will arrive next month, and the price will be reduced by about two cents. Isn’t this a change of scenery in their town? The higher-ups want more people at the bottom to have enough to eat and live a good life.

this winter.

"But brothers, guess what the price increase is? If your family has the strength, please stock up more."

"What?"

"I heard about: ginseng, deer antlers and deer whip, Cordyceps militaris (Northern Cordyceps sinensis), wild hazel mushrooms and various medicinal materials, as well as precious woods. I heard that some precious woods are about to be marked, and they will not be allowed to be cut down after a certain age.

, you can’t even pay for it. That was the complaint from Chen Ji’s wife who makes makeup boxes, and I only found out about it. Your family is rich, so hurry up and stock up. The price will never be the same again."

Xu Youyin laughed and said: "Brother, you really praise us. What you said has nothing to do with my family and I can't afford to hoard it. That's all right. Let's go back to the town to pick up food. Let's go. Thank you, little one.

Dude."

But after leaving the house, Xu Youyin hurried to Zhenxi Livestock Shop to ask Liu Laozhu's brother for help in writing a letter.

Xu Youyin really wanted to write a letter to his family telling him to save some old dowry wood for Tian Xin. Even if he was unwilling to harm the people on his own mountain, he still had to go to the big mountain next to the town to buy and cut down a few big trees.

From now on, I can't buy it at a low price and it's not easy to buy it. Please don't pay back Uncle Lizheng's money first and buy the trees first.

However, the two brothers scratched their heads and scratched their heads together, and they only managed to write out fifteen characters. These fifteen characters still need to go to the porcelain kiln to have their fingerprints pressed and used carefully.

I had no other options, so I just started dictating.

Look, Uncle Li Zheng's younger brother's eyes lit up. Seeing this, he also wanted to go back to the village to cut down a few big trees and save them.

The two brothers of the Xu family wanted to find a bicycle to take the letter back, but Liu Laozhu's brother stopped them. He smiled and pointed to the barking dog in the backyard: "I happened to be going to your village to deliver the dog to my second brother's house. It's rare.

The good appearance is said to be able to pull a sled, but it is a type that cannot stay in the house or will tear the house apart.”

Liu Laosan thought to himself: He couldn't use the Erdaohe shop to sell mules and cattle in vain, so he thought of sending ten fierce dogs to guard the house and guard the house. It would be considered as paying rent.

Even Liu Laosan's daughter-in-law also agreed with this matter, because Zhenting had been replaced by Zhao Dashan, who also had a good relationship with his second brother. Her man would not be embarrassed by others when he went through the sales procedures in the future.

Not to mention that everyone in the town knew that the Xu family of Erdaohe had a lot of valuable friends. Those who were close to them did not mention what kind of glory they would get in the future. They only said that for now, no one would dare to drag him to the market entrance to be whipped.
