Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

"Where are you all coming from, and where are you going?"

Yuelu came out and answered the old man.

After hearing Yuelu say that their home was destroyed, the old man showed a look of sympathy on his face.

"Oh, you are so miserable! We also experienced the heavy rain before, but our Yuanmu tribe is in a better location and was not washed away by the flood. Have you decided where to settle down?"

"We plan to settle down at the foot of Mount Qiyu, but the journey is still very long. We calculated that when the mountain is closed by heavy snow in winter, we may not be able to walk there. Even if we walk there, it is too cold to build a house. So we want to find a place in the mountains that can shelter from the wind and snow before winter comes, and then we will go to Mount Qiyu after the ice and snow melt in the spring of next year."

The old man nodded.

"I heard that the foot of Qiyu Mountain is indeed a good place with lush grass and beautiful water, but it doesn't seem to be very peaceful there. You must be careful when you go there!"

"Thank you, Big Brother, for telling me these things. Don't worry, we won't disturb your lives. We are just passing by and we won't even enter your tribe!"

"It's okay, it's okay. If you come to ask for a drink of water, I can still entertain you."

"No need, we'll leave now!"

Yuelu and the old man said goodbye, and the group passed by the edge of the Yuanmu tribe.

As he watched them walk away, the old man showed a look of pity on his face.

"They are all a bunch of miserable people. I don't know if they can settle down in Qi Yushan. It's really not peaceful there!"

Fu Cang cheered up and led his group through the Yuanmu tribe, then passed through two more tribes. On the third day, they finally arrived at a small market.

This market is really small, but fortunately it has everything it needs, including clothes, shoes, cloth, condiments and food.

Yuelu and the others did not rush to the market all at once, but found a safe place to camp. The men in their families then took the furs they had made to the market to exchange for silver or other urgently needed items.

Yuelu has already told them that the top priority must be to buy some clothes and quilts to keep warm, because these things can ensure their survival. If they have extra copper coins, they can buy some food and seasonings. It doesn't matter if they don't buy them, they will find a way later.

Mo Xiaonian and Fu Cang followed the first group of villagers who were selling furs to the market.

With the participation of these people, the previously deserted market suddenly became lively.

Mo Xiaonian looked at this small market and was skeptical about whether the villagers could sell their furs.

Fu Cang also found it a bit strange, so he found a grain store and asked, only to find out that many tribes in this tribal gathering place had also suffered from disasters, resulting in a significant reduction in the population here, and also destroyed two important roads. Merchants from outside could not enter, so the market was naturally not as lively as before.

After hearing the news, Fu Cang's face turned serious.

"With merchants from other places unable to come in, the villagers' furs will definitely be hard to sell! If they can't sell them, they won't have money to buy warm clothes. How will they survive this winter?"

Mo Xiaonian tilted his head to look at the villagers who were selling leather not far away, and felt that it might not be easy for them to sell the leather in their hands.

"Brother Fucang, what do you think of the quality of the leather in the hands of the villagers? If we take it to Wangyou City to sell in the future, can we get a good price?"

"The leather they have is of very good quality. After all, they are all experienced hunters, and their skills in skinning and processing the leather are impeccable. If we meet a fur trader or take these leathers to other big places to sell, we will have no trouble selling them.

Now that you are asking these questions, do you have the idea of buying all these leathers?"

“Brother Fucang, you are really smart. You guessed my idea right away. But it is not appropriate to do this now. We should wait until the villagers really can’t sell it and have no other choice. Then we will buy it. In this way, the villagers will appreciate our kindness. Otherwise, they will think that the two of us are taking advantage of them!”

Mo Xiaonian smiled like a little fox, and Fu Cang couldn't take his eyes off her cunning look.

But Fu Cang also felt a sense of emotion.

I don't know how this little girl got so many ideas. Are there people like her in Dahuan? If I want to deal with people from Dahuan in the future, I must be careful, otherwise I won't know how I got cheated.

After making up their minds, the two men no longer paid attention to the hunters of the Moonfall Tribe, but went to the clothing store and the grocery store.

Cotton-padded clothes for winter have always been the biggest concern of Fu Cang and Mo Xiaonian. Mo Xiaonian was worried that she would freeze to death in this winter, and Fu Cang was worried that Mo Xiaonian would freeze to death in this winter, so the two reached a consensus and went to the clothing store as the first stop.

The clothing shops in the market were not very big, and most of the clothes inside were made of fur. Mo Xiaonian looked for a long time and finally found a few clothes and cotton pants with a thin layer of cotton in the corner.

Mo Xiaonian twisted the cotton coat, then said to the shopkeeper, "Why is it so thin? Is there anything thicker?"

"No, these are already considered thick. If the cotton inside is too thick, it will be inconvenient to walk!"

“How do you sell this?”

"If you buy the cotton-padded jacket and trousers as a set, it's two taels of silver. If you buy them individually, the cotton-padded jacket is one and a half taels of silver, and the cotton-padded trousers are one tael of silver."

"It's so expensive! If I take a few more pieces, can you give me a discount?"

"Ah? You want it cheaper? No, no! If it's cheaper, I won't make any profit!"

"You can make money, boss. After all, it's not really cold yet. If I buy all the cotton-padded clothes here at once, you still have time to restock and sell them. You will have extra clothes to sell. If you don't give me a discount, I will buy them somewhere else. You won't make any money, but will benefit another clothing store a street away from you. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

"Ah this..."

It was the first time for the shopkeeper to meet such a customer. He scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
