I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm
Chapter 45 Trouble is coming
Although there was no big market in Qingshui Town today, the streets were exceptionally lively. Outside the gate of Jibaotang, many people carrying bamboo baskets and shoulder poles surrounded the gate of Jibaotang in three layers. Well, they were basically all familiar figures to Ye Ze.
When Ye Ze was driving the ox cart past, he heard the sound of people arguing inside:
"We have waited for so long, how can you just say you don't want to take them? Shopkeeper, look at my herbs, they are so fresh and neat... It doesn't matter if the price is a little lower, just take them..."
"Please take ours too. We need to buy food with the money we exchanged. Please do us a favor, boss..."
"Take ours. I've been waiting here since early morning. Didn't you take the herbs from those people just now?"
The owner of the pharmacy was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He kept pressing his hands down and said, "Listen to me, everyone, these herbs you brought are ordinary herbs. We don't lack them in the pharmacy..." He accepted the herbs carried by several villagers with the idea of accepting them if he could, but who knew that a large group of people would come behind him? He really didn't dare to accept any more!
However, who would listen to what the shopkeeper said? The villagers only knew that they couldn't sell the herbs they had worked so hard to collect!
"Didn't you collect everything those people brought just now?"
"Yes, your pharmacy is so big, can't you collect more herbs and store them?"
"There is someone in our village who sells herbs to you. If you don't buy them, where will he sell all those herbs to..."
Ye Ze did not dare to stop to watch the fun, for fear of being caught and confronted. He drove the ox cart quickly and went straight to the grain shop. He did not hear what the last person said until he was far away. He knew without guessing that the person who specialized in delivering herbs they were talking about was him.
Ye Ze was speechless: Hey! Who I sell to is none of your business?! I didn't ask you to pick herbs.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Ze just wanted to help the people in the tribe earn some pocket money!
......
In the grain shop, the shopkeeper sat behind the counter somewhat absent-mindedly. Every once in a while he would ask the shop assistants to take a look outside to see if the boy who wanted to exchange grain with them yesterday had arrived.
When the waiter went to the door to look for the third time, he finally saw Ye Ze and shouted happily: "Boss, someone is coming!"
"Here? Did he bring food?" The shopkeeper could no longer sit still, and hurried out, asking as he walked.
"Yes, he brought it. He came here in a bullock cart."
When the shopkeeper heard that Ye Ze had brought food, he finally felt relieved and strode to the door of the store to wait.
"Little brother, you have kept me waiting for a long time."
Ye Ze slowly stopped the ox cart, smiled, and said, "Change these first, and please check them and weigh them."
"It's easy to talk about."
The shopkeeper personally checked the grain that Ye Ze brought and confirmed that it was the same as what he saw yesterday. Then he ordered the shop assistant to weigh it. After the weight was determined, the cart of fine rice and noodles that Ye Ze brought was directly loaded onto a truck and sent to the provincial capital.
I'll see what kind of food Ye Ze wants to exchange, and then help him weigh it and load it onto the truck.
The exchange rate for black flour and brown rice was six for one, and the exchange rate for whole grain flour and some beans was five for one. The 4,000 kilograms of grain he brought was exchanged for 23,500 kilograms of coarse grains. The shopkeeper also sent five ox carts to help him transport the grain back.
Watching the guys loading the truck, the grain shop owner pulled Ye Ze aside and asked, "When are you going to come and exchange grain next time, little brother? I can prepare some more coarse grains in advance."
Ye Ze did not mention the time, but smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is preparing in advance. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, who knows."
"Okay, then I'll prepare it today. You'd better come back earlier." The shopkeeper's face was so happy that it looked like a chrysanthemum.
It was almost noon when they left the grain store, and there were only a few pedestrians on the road. Despite this, Ye Ze and his group of six ox carts loaded with grain were still very eye-catching as they paraded through the streets.
Ye Ze asked the guy who helped deliver the food to the forest outside Qingshui Town, and then sent him back.
The guys in the grain shop were only responsible for helping to deliver the grain. Of course, they unloaded the grain wherever Ye Ze told them to, and no one asked any questions.
After the others pulled the ox cart away, Ye Ze turned on the monitoring program. The scanning screen could monitor the area within a radius of twenty meters around Ye Ze. After making sure that no one was following him, Ye Ze directly put the five carts of grain that the guys had unloaded into the space.
Rice and flour were bought from the mall at a price of about two cents, one pound for six pounds. Even if he sold them to his clansmen at the price before the price increase, he would still make a lot of money!
Of course, Ye Ze never thought of giving away the food for free. The members of the Ye family were all kind, but he did not dare to bet on people's hearts.
While no one was around, Ye Ze bought new pens, ink, paper, and inkstone from the mall. He bought a set for each of the six children in the family, and also bought a slightly better set of four treasures of the study for Meng.
Snacks for the old lady, gifts for my daughter-in-law, and for my two brothers and their sisters-in-law.
As for my sister and Daya, there are no spare clothes for them at home, so I will buy two new sets for each of them. Daya is too thin and weak, and it is obvious that she is malnourished. I will buy her a bottle of calcium, iron and zinc to supplement her. He is an uncle after all, so I can’t miss a small gift...
After all, he is here for a trip to town, so he should buy more food and drinks. Rice and white flour will be the staple food of his family from now on. Coarse grains are really hard to swallow.
All the things that were needed were bought, and the two backpacks that were filled with herbs were filled to the brim, leaving only two thousand kilograms of dark brown rice on the ox cart.
Ye Ze was just about to leave when a few small red dots suddenly appeared at the edge of the surveillance screen and moved towards him.
The picture zoomed in, and it turned out to be several men holding knives and sticks, who were obviously not good people. A skinny and wretched man in the front was leading the group, pointing in the direction of the woods and saying something to the big men behind him. The men behind him all listened with excitement.
Although Ye Ze couldn't hear any sound, he knew from the postures of these people that they were definitely coming for him. Damn! It's just a few carts of food, how could they be targeted? !
With people from the grain shop following them, they might not dare to rob openly, but now Ye Ze is the only one watching the grain!
If not now, when?!
As soon as they entered the woods, they covered their faces with the towels they had prepared in advance.
Seeing this, Ye Ze calmly put the ox cart and the things on it into the space, then swallowed the powerful pill he bought last night directly into his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, and Ye Ze immediately felt relaxed all over. He stood there quietly waiting for those people to approach.
Ye Ze never thought of hiding. Living in this ancient time where the law was not strict, if he didn't become strong, he would have to live with his head down for the rest of his life.
Even in his previous life, Ye Ze never expected anyone to help him solve his problems.
