Chapter 68: Space Restocking for the Young Men
After shopping at the grocery store, Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingming went to the cloth store. The cloth store had a fairly complete variety of cloths, but the prices were much higher than usual.
Thinking of the old people and children in the village, Lin Qingxue selected some thick cloths and prepared to take them back to make winter clothes for everyone. She also bought 40 kilograms of cotton and some small items such as needles and thread for her own family at a high price.
After buying things, the baskets on Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingming's backs were already full. Just as they were about to go back, they suddenly heard a noise.
Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingming looked at each other and walked curiously towards the direction of the sound, only to see a group of people gathered on both sides of a small stall.
In the middle of the crowd stood a young man in gorgeous clothes. He had a handsome face, but his eyes revealed arrogance. Beside him were several men who looked like servants, who were using sticks to drive away the people around them.
Lin Qingxue stopped a passerby and asked what happened. The passerby whispered to her that the man was a wealthy young man from the county town.
This rich young man often bullies the common people by relying on his family's wealth and power. Today, he kidnapped a young girl here, saying that he wanted to take her as a concubine.
Knowing what was going on, Lin Qingxue instantly lost interest in watching the fun. She pulled Lin Qingming towards the city gate, intending to send the things in the basket out first, and then bring in the baskets of Lin Qingran and the others to fill them with food.
There was also a batch of food in the space, only more than 2,000 kilograms, which Lin Qingxue left for her family to eat.
But now they finally came across a city, and the villagers didn't have much food left. After some discussion with Uncle Lin and others, they decided to sell the food to the villagers.
As for themselves, they have space for growing crops anyway, and the sweet potatoes and rice they planted can be harvested in a while. They have so much food at home that they don't have to worry about not being able to hold on until the harvest time.
"Qingxue, wait for me here! I'll send the basket to Qingran and the others, and then bring the basket back to fill it with food," Lin Qingming looked at the crowded streets outside and whispered to Lin Qingxue.
There weren't so many people on the street originally, but after they bought things, more and more people came out.
"Okay, big brother, then you go! I'll wait for you in this alley," Lin Qingxue looked around and found an alley in front that was suitable for her to wait for people and also for taking out food from the space later.
Lin Qingming nodded, and walked towards the city gate carrying two baskets, one in front and one behind. He came in through the side door and went out through the main gate.
However, although we entered through the main gate, there was a team of guards standing on both sides of the city gate. Only villagers from the villages near Tingfeng County could enter the city for free, and everyone else had to pay an entrance fee of ten cents.
After Lin Qingming knew the entrance fee, he dared not go out. He called Lin Qingran and others over loudly. In front of the guards at the gate, he handed the basket full of things to Lin Qingran and others, took the empty baskets in their hands, and then entered the city.
The guards had seen many such actions by Lin Qingming and did not think it was a big deal. Many people did the same thing to save ten cents per person for the city entrance fee.
Lin Qingming came to Lin Qingxue with the six empty baskets and whispered, "Qingxue, let's get the food out and leave the city!"
"Okay, big brother, you stay here and I'll get the food out right away," Lin Qingxue said. Seeing that there was no one around, the brother and sister started to get the food out.
With Lin Qingming keeping watch, Lin Qingxue quickly filled six baskets with food. Each basket could hold at least 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and at most 400 kilograms.
However, if it is used to store rice, it can hold up to 350 kilograms.
Lin Qingxue filled four baskets with sweet potatoes and the other two baskets with rice.
"Brother, how are we going to carry them to the city gate? You'll have to carry them several times by yourself!" Looking at these baskets, Lin Qingxue became worried. She didn't dare to spend a few cents to ask someone to deliver them to the city gate, so Lin Qingming had to carry them one by one.
"It's okay, I'll carry it to the city gate, and you stay here to guard it," Lin Qingming swallowed and felt inexplicably sad for himself. With so much food, they would all eat it together, but he would have to carry it alone.
Lin Qingming was sad, but he had to start carrying food one trip at a time. He made six trips with six baskets.
Originally, Lin Qingxue said that she would help carry it for the last time, so Lin Qingming wouldn't have to make another trip. However, Lin Qingming didn't dare let Lin Qingxue carry such a heavy thing. If his father and others knew about it, they would definitely rob him!
On the last trip, Lin Qingxue went to the vendors on both sides of the street and bought some snacks and snacks. She also bought thirty large meat buns and a whole pig that had been slaughtered.
Seeing someone selling piglets and lambs, Lin Qingxue bought a pair as well. After walking a few steps, she saw someone selling chicks and ducklings, and she even bought the cages.
It just so happens that there is a lack of meat dishes in the space, so buying these and putting them in can make up for it. After a while, there will be more kinds of meat dishes in the space.
After buying the things, Lin Qingxue found an empty alley and put the things into the space, leaving only the snacks and meat buns she bought out in the open.
After buying the things, the brother and sister left Tingfeng County and met up with Lin Qingran and the others just after they left the city gate. They fixed the basket on the horse's back with a rope, and then rode back to meet up with the main force.
After riding for nearly an hour and a half, Lin Qingxue and his group finally reunited with the main force. Seeing that they had returned with a full load, Village Chief Lin and several elders stood in front of the crowd to greet them.
"Quick, come and help unload the things. It looks like they bought some food. We'll collect it and distribute it to everyone later."
When Village Chief Lin saw the food on the horse's back, a smile appeared on his serious face. These were life-saving things.
With the help of the villagers, Lin Qingming and his companions quickly unloaded the basket from the horse's back. Everyone worked together to move the things in front of Village Chief Lin and his companions. Seeing the full basket, everyone smiled happily.
"Qingming, Qingran, quickly move your belongings back to your donkey carts and tell me the price of each item. I'll have my second son go and ask each family what they want and how much they want. Once everything in the baskets has been divided, I'll have my eldest son deliver the money we've collected to you."
Village Chief Lin said this with a smile, but even though he said it with a smile, it looked very awkward with his usual serious face.
Fortunately, at this moment, everyone was very happy to have bought food, and no one paid attention to the expression of Village Chief Lin.
