Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 78

Both are high-end goods, exclusively for the rich and powerful, and most of them are made of silk, and their prices are several times higher.

"Brother...is this really for us?" Jiang the Butcher asked Jiang Yipei, his eyes then turned to Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Xiubai, who had not taken off their raincoats.

In order to facilitate movement, there is a certain difference between customized oil jackets and the ancient oil jackets. The style of customized oil jackets is similar to that of modern raincoats, both of which are tops and trousers, and hats with brim, but the material is not PVC or Oxford cloth, but coarse cloth.

But the patrol team in the village is raised for disaster rescue. Clothes painted with tung oil are waterproof but not scratch-proof, so the fabric naturally has to be harder.

However, the lining is made of fleece-lined fine cotton cloth, which is neither thin nor thick, and is light and warm.

"Of course." Jiang Yipei nodded: "Everyone has it."

"One set per person! Is there anyone who hasn't gotten one yet?" Uncle Chen shouted.

“It’s all there!”

"That's all right!" Uncle Chen immediately locked the remaining oil coats and oil boots into the warehouse, came out and stood beside Jiang Yipei and said, "Each person gets a set of oil coats and oil boots. My uncle specially provided them to the patrol team. As long as you are in the patrol team, the oil coats and oil boots belong to you. But there is one thing I want to make clear. If the oil coats and oil boots are damaged, you have to repair them at your own expense. If they are really unusable, you have to buy them yourself. They are sold in this shop, only eight taels of silver per set."

"What!!! Eight taels?! Only?" The crowd almost boiled over.

The knowledgeable tailor Jiang said, "For this material and workmanship, eight taels is considered cheap. You may not be able to buy it for ten taels of silver outside."

What he didn't say was that oil coats made of this kind of ordinary fabric would not be sold in any shop outside.

"Oh my God!" Everyone hugged their clothes and shoes tightly after hearing this, but they quickly loosened them for fear of wrinkling their oil clothes.

"Listen up, Team Two! If anyone dares to break this precious thing, I'll break his legs!"

The butcher in the group, Jiang, showed off his authority to his uncles, brothers, nephews and grandchildren, and then looked at the "raincoat" in his hand with a smile: "How can a butcher like me wear such a nice piece of clothing? It costs eight or ten taels of silver!"

"Of course, of course not." Jiang Yipei said, "Our patrol team is equivalent to being supported by the entire clan. As long as everyone works hard and wholeheartedly for the clan and protects the clan, there will be plenty of good things in the future!"

"Yes!" The voices were in unison.

That being said, who among those present didn’t know that Jiang Yipei was the one who paid the biggest price?

How could we afford oil-coated clothes and oil-coated boots worth thousands of taels with the bags of grain collected by each family in the clan?

They were all thankful that they and Jiang Yipei had the same ancestor and could follow the old Jiang family and get some benefits.

Unconsciously, the clan members' awe of the Jiang family has silently deepened to a new level. Today it was even more so. Thousands of taels were just casually given away, which shows how rich the family is. In addition, there is an endless stream of new and novel things in the shop, which shows how strong their connections are outside.

Wearing brand new oil jackets and oil boots, just to complete the small task of carrying limestone down the mountain.

The patrol team were all confused and felt that they had ruined their new oil jackets. They were wearing hats and the raindrops would slide across the oil jackets as soon as they fell. The oil jackets didn't even touch the water much, but they were still heartbroken!

Ten taels of silver!

Many people immediately matched their oil jackets with a straw raincoat when they got home, and carefully wiped clean their muddy oil boots.

Jiang Lizheng has already notified everyone to heat the kang, dehumidify the house, and pay attention to the sturdiness of the house.

The patrol team began to arrange shifts to check for dangerous buildings and pay attention to the rising water levels in ponds and rivers.

On the sixth day of the heavy rain, yellow muddy water rushed through the ditches of all sizes in Jiangjia Village and flowed into the streams and rivers.

The huge rainfall caused the water level in the river to surge. Most of the fertile fields in the village were close to the river, but now they were all submerged. From a distance, they looked like a vast ocean.

Jiang Xiaomi's home is at the entrance of the village and is the closest household to the river, only about a hundred meters away. Once the water level rises, her home will be the first to be flooded.

However, the houses in Jiangjia Village are all built on the slope with a drop of seven or eight meters. The thigh-high water level does not pose a threat to them for the time being.

But Da Wan Village downstream was not so lucky. Many houses were flooded. Dead branches and rotten leaves floated in the turbid rain water, and the air was filled with an indescribable earthy smell mixed with a rotten smell.
