Chapter 11 County Town Trading
What should she do if she has just such a little money? It’s really hard to cook without rice.
Seeing Chen Ningya frowning, Wen Youshan immediately said nervously: "Madam, don't worry, I can save some money when I hunt and work. However, the children are sick recently, and I don't go into the mountains much. I just put on condoms. I keep the wild game I catch and eat it at home. Naturally, I will have less income. I will go into the mountains to take a look tomorrow."
Chen Ningya brows relaxed and chuckled, "You haven't hunted in previous years. You just saved money from hunting to support the family, but you can't change the situation at home. If you have the conditions, I still want to send my children to study."
Wen Yuanliang, who had just walked to their door, stopped hearing this, and looked shocked and disbelief. He heard Chen Ningya continue, "Everything is inferior, but studying is high, we can live a life of poverty and happiness, but the children are still young, and their lives are still unlimited. I don't want them to work hard like us because of poverty. Look, the boss is eight years old. If he doesn't enlighten him, it will be too late. I can enlighten him, but he is still not as good as a serious gentleman..."
Chen Ningya talked a lot again, and Wen Yuanliang stood at the door for a long time before turning around and leaving.
Wen Youshan never thought so much before. Fushan Village is in the mountains and valleys, and it is very poor. The children in the village come here like this. As long as they can eat and wear, everyone will be content. As for other ideas, they really don’t think about it, or they dare not think about it. Now, after Chen Ningya said this, Wen Youshan is a little dazed.
Chen Ningya was also afraid that Wen Youshan would be under great pressure when she said too much, so she patted his shoulder comfortably and said, "I can't hurry these things. In the future, if you have time, you can ask about studying. If you can, send the eldest brother out first. The second brother is only four years old. Don't worry, let's take your time. Don't forget that we haven't received the compensation from the Deng family."
When talking about the Deng family, Chen Ningya's eyes became more ruthless. At that time, Shen Bian ordered the Deng family to pay her twenty taels of silver. Even if the Deng family was selling, she would give her the money, but she was not worried.
Wen Youshan patted his head, "I forgot if you don't say it. I went to inquire once half a month ago. The people from the county government said that the Deng family could not afford twenty taels of silver and needed to sell their property. I will ask again tomorrow. It's been a month since then, and the Deng family should have collected all the money."
Wen Youshan now hates the Deng family’s father and son. He is much more concerned about the twenty taels of silver than Chen Ningya. After all, Chen Ningya exchanged his life for it.
The next day, Wen Youshan got up before dawn and went out. If he didn't rush some, he would be afraid that he would not be able to go back and forth in one day.
Chen Ningya knew that he was going to the county, so she took out twenty cents from the cabinet and gave it to him. "If the county is not close, you can take a free ride in the town and save some time. Don't go hungry in the county to save one or two cents. If there is still copper coins left, buy some snacks for the children. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Let’s not talk about the two sick young people. The eldest brother has become much more obedient and sensible during this period and has helped the family. As for the youngest two, they don’t cry or make trouble, which is a great help.
Wen Youshan nodded and took away the rabbit skin and pheasant eggs and wild duck eggs he had saved during this period when he went out. It was a rare trip to the county town, and it would be a pity not to sell anything.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Wen Youshan went to the Sun and Huang families and said that he was going to the county town, and the two families handed him the eggs they had saved.
The eggs are sold for two 3 cents in the town, and one 2 cents in the county is not a small difference.
Wen Youshan walked around this and did not leave the village until his back was full. When he arrived in the town, he found a donkey cart to go to the county according to what Chen Ningya told him and paid three cents. If he was riding a ox cart, he could save a penny, but the ox cart was not as good as a donkey cart. In order to save time, he chose a more expensive donkey cart.
It was noon from the town to the county, and there were fewer people setting up stalls on the street. Wen Youshan did not stupidly sell them on the roadside, but first asked about the ready-made clothes shop. In the past, he sold fur to cloth shops in the town. He knew that they had bought the leather and finally sold them to the ready-made clothes shops. Unfortunately, there was no ready-made clothes shop in the town, and his skin couldn't be sold at a good price. Today, Wen Youshan also wanted to try his luck. If he could, he sold two more money. His requirements were not high, and he just paid the round-trip travel expenses.
When he found out that the county's more generous garment shop was selling, Wen Youshan walked and sold it. When he found Duan's garment shop, the eggs in his backpack were also sold better.
When the waiter who was looking at the store saw the customer coming to the door, he immediately stepped forward and greeted him attentively: "What do you want to buy? We have all kinds of clothes here."
Seeing that Wen Youshan was not wearing very well, the waiter took him to see Mayi very considerately. Ordinary people wore Mayi, and those with some money would wear fine Mayi, while those with poor people would wear coarse Mayi, and the most common Mayi in the store was Mayi.
Wen Youshan took a look and asked nervously: "Brother, I'm not here to buy clothes, but I want to ask if you guys are taking care of them?"
The waiter was a little disappointed after hearing the first half. When he heard the second half, he looked a little more joyful, "Yes, yes, but we need to collect skins and make nitrogen technology. If the skin is well cleaned, the price is naturally higher. After saying so much, I don't know what skins the customer is selling?"
"Rabbit skin." Wen Youshan was not vague at all. As he said that, he put down his back basket, took off the lid on it, and spread the skins one by one.
Rabbit skin is not rare, but it is better because of the high demand. When the waiter saw it, he immediately said, "Cheer wait, I'll call the shopkeeper."
After a while, a middle-aged man with two beards and long gowns came out of the backyard with the waiter. As soon as he entered the door, he noticed Wen Youshan, who was standing in the store with his back slightly nervous, and asked in a warm voice: "You are you going to sell your skin?"
Wen Youshan nodded and handed over his skin, "This is my rabbit skin made of nitrogen."
Seeing that his movements were a little stiff, the shopkeeper smiled knowingly, took the skin and walked outside, looked through it carefully under the sun, and then read it all over and said to Wen Youshan: "Brother, your skin is really a bit of a thing. Although it is an ordinary rabbit skin, the skin is complete and handled cleanly. If you have a large amount, I can give you more, but you only have seven or eight pictures. In this way, I will calculate sixty cents for you one picture, how about it?"
Wen Youshan's eyes lit up and he looked up suddenly, but he was so smart that he didn't say anything.
