Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 52 Selling Bamboo Shoots in Jiangzhou
It gets dark early in winter.
The roadside vendors also closed up early.
Lu Qingyao was surprised to find that she could buy many cheap and good things at this time.
Go buy pork ribs and pork fat, which were originally thirty cents a pound.
Butcher: "We're closing up shop now. There are three or four pounds left. Fifty coins, take them all!"
Go buy rice and flour.
Originally, a dou of coarse grain cost twenty coins, a dou of fine grain cost forty coins, and a jin of refined flour cost eighteen coins.
Grain shopkeeper: "We're closing up shop now, so I'll give you a discount. Coarse grains are fifteen coins a dou, fine grains are thirty-eight coins a dou, and refined flour is fifteen coins a jin..."
"Two shi of coarse and fine grains, and ten jin of refined flour."
Lu Qingyao had only been out for an hour when she bought a whole cart full of grain, oil, rice and flour.
Although the shopkeeper didn't recognize her, these were the kinds of things he usually said in business.
Wool comes from sheep.
What they brought out were mostly broken rice and some less-than-ideal pork, but it was indeed cheaper. They could take it home to make porridge or render pork cracklings.
I won't hold it against you.
On her way back, she didn't take a detour, but instead swaggered past the village entrance.
Anyone or any vehicle passing through the village entrance at this time will be scrutinized from head to toe by the villagers.
After watching Lu Qingyao's carriage drive away, they began to chat.
"Did you see that? That's a whole cart full of rice, flour, and meat!"
Everyone unconsciously licked their lips, recalling the last time they went to the Jiang family for a banquet, and still savoring the memory.
"Could it be that Madam Lu is going to hold another banquet?"
"She's going to throw a banquet, but she's not inviting you and me... Her family has hired a lot of people to dig bamboo shoots, 100 coins per person per day, plus a meal!"
"Really? Do you need more people?"
Someone's heart is moved.
“What’s a hundred coins? I heard she’s taking bamboo shoots to Jiangzhou to do business, and they can sell for thirty or forty coins a pound. Why don’t we dig some up and sell them too?”
"Are you telling the truth?"
“How could it be fake? That’s what Qiao’er’s mother told me; she went with Lu Meizi.”
“Then let’s dig them up and sell them. Maybe we can get several dozen taels of silver. If she, a woman, can make money, why can’t we? Besides, these bamboo shoots don’t belong to her family.”
"That's right, the bamboo shoots grow right there. Whoever has the skill can dig them up, and whoever has the skill can make a fortune..."
The crowd erupted in cheers.
"That's great! My son went to dig early this morning." As he spoke, several people returned one after another.
Then someone asked, "Do you have an oxcart? How will you get it to sell?"
Everyone was silent.
"We might as well dig them up and sell them directly to Madam Lu, or go work for her family; at least we'd get to eat meat..."
After hearing this.
Some people were tempted and were thinking of finding Lu Qingyao to do some work.
Some people were envious and thought about digging bamboo shoots and selling them in Jiangzhou.
We must not let this immense wealth slip through our fingers.
Some people felt a pang of jealousy, thinking, "Why is a discarded woman living a better life than her?"
That man used to be hers, so why...?
"Was that Jiang Lao Er's wife just now? I heard that her family was punished and fell into poverty, so Jiang Lao Er sent her back?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, a beautiful woman stood in the crowd.
She wore a cotton floral jacket, had fair skin, and was incredibly beautiful.
"Hey, Tao Tao's back!"
The way everyone looked at her was ambiguous, a half-smile on their faces.
Tao Tao smiled and said, "The New Year is coming soon, so I came back to see my parents."
She changed the subject abruptly, "Wasn't that Madam Lu punished and sent back to Peach Creek Village? Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to be suffering; she seems to be here to enjoy a life of leisure..."
Old Liu's wife, Granny Zhang, couldn't stand it anymore and retorted.
"No matter how Madam Lu returned, she is still a lady from a prestigious family. Even a fallen phoenix is better than a chicken!"
Tao Tao's expression changed drastically, but she didn't react because her husband was right beside her.
Gritting her teeth, she glared at Granny Zhang, then pulled her husband and daughter away.
After taking a shower, Jiang Miaomiao comfortably snuggled up on her older brother's back and took a long nap.
But I didn't fall into a deep sleep.
In my half-awake state, I heard my two older brothers chatting.
"Brother, look, Miaomiao's drooling all over your clothes. Why don't you put her in the cradle to sleep? She'll be comfortable, and so will you..."
Jiang Zifeng felt that her shoulder was wet.
Thinking back on everything that happened last night, I feel a bit scared.
"Let's forget about it. The village isn't safe. What if another child thief comes along and steals your little sister when we're not looking?"
"Brother, let me carry you for a while. Mother said she doesn't let her take a nap at dusk, so let's wake her up!"
Jiang Miaomiao was then moved to her second brother's back, her eyes still half asleep.
Ugh, I didn't get enough sleep!
It seems that for the foreseeable future, she will either be on her mother's back or her brother's back.
Then his second brother continued, "Brother, aren't you seeing threats everywhere?"
"No way! That Blackie was just playing alone in the yard when he was stolen. And the thief was someone Aunt Wang knew..."
"An acquaintance!" Jiang Ziyan exclaimed in disbelief. "Did the villagers collude with outsiders to do this?"
“That’s right…” Jiang Zifeng unconsciously lowered her voice and leaned close to her younger brother’s ear.
"The county magistrate said he found out that the trafficker had appeared in our village before, brought by Aunt Wang. But strangely, Heiwa was also kidnapped by them. My aunt is saying behind his back that Aunt Wang sold her grandson for money..."
"Yan'er, don't go out and tell anyone, your mother won't let you."
After Jiang Zifeng finished speaking, he gave the instructions again.
Jiang Miaomiao woke up from her nap and her ears perked up.
No wonder Mother had a smile on her face after bringing Heiwa back.
She understood a little.
The villagers all said that Aunt Wang looked down on her daughter-in-law and often harassed her.
If her daughter-in-law found out that her child was lost because of her mother-in-law, she would definitely make a huge scene.
A wicked mother-in-law who is bedridden due to a stroke, and a daughter-in-law who has long suffered humiliation.
It's bound to be a spectacular battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
I have to say, my mother knew how to kill someone by destroying their spirit!
"Feng'er, Yan'er, take these two bowls of meat to your uncle and Sanlang's house." Mother brought out two bowls of meat from the kitchen.
Steaming hot, with a fragrant aroma filling the air.
Sure enough, bear meat with more than ten kinds of spices tastes different.
Jiang Miaomiao could no longer smell any fishy odor.
It has a very strong aroma.
Jiang Zifeng's eyes lit up, she licked her lips, and involuntarily stretched out a hand.
Her mother slapped her back, saying, "Don't you dare steal food!"
The older brother chuckled sheepishly, "Mom, I didn't steal any food, I was just worried you'd burn yourself."
As she spoke, she took the bowl from her mother's hand.
"Big brother, you go to Uncle's house, I'll go to Sanlang's house." Second brother Jiang Ziyan took the bowl and carried his sister to Li Sanlang's house.
Wherever they went, the barking of dogs rose and fell.
It only stopped screaming after being beaten up.
They knocked on the door, and it was Zhang Pozi, Li Sanlang's mother, who opened it. She had known all along that Jiang Miaomiao's family was stewing meat and had even informed them.
Tell them to wait, don't eat your food so early.
So she had been peering inside and outside the door for quite some time.
"Auntie, my mother asked me to bring some meat for you to try." Jiang Ziyan glanced inside. "Is Sanlang home?"
"Yes, yes, I'm feeding the cows in the back. Yan-ge, would you like to come in and play for a while?"
"No, no, my mother is still waiting for us at home for dinner. I just wanted to tell him that the person who colluded with human traffickers to kidnap them has been found—it's Aunt Wang. I want him to be more careful when he goes out in the future..."
