Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 28
Qi You put the road guide in his arms and solved the problem of settling down. Although the process is not very beautiful, the result is good.
Holding the twenty taels of silver left in his pocket, he silently calculated what he would buy later.
His father’s legs are still not good, so he must not walk too much, and he will have to buy a carriage by then.
The carriage has to… Forget it, the carriage can’t afford QAQ as a poor man!
How about a bullock cart?
Qi You did it as soon as he thought of it. He rushed to the bull market and asked about it. These people just discussed it, and a cow would not sell it after thirty taels of silver.
Qi You almost vomited a mouthful of blood, both of whom were victims of the disaster, so why not be too anxious to deceive each other.
Even if he, Xibei, doesn’t understand the market, he still has some memories of Xiao Qiyou. In the past, people in their village bought cows and even carts, only nine taels of silver. Compared to today, it has more than tripled.
Qi You rubbed his heart, he couldn’t afford the bullock cart, so he stopped buying it.
Anyway, he is strong enough to walk with his father on his back.
Qi You turned around and wanted to leave, but recalling Qi’s mother and the Lin family siblings, he couldn’t walk anymore.
Qi You’s heart is tangled: why not, let me look at it again?
If you can’t buy an ox cart, it’s okay to buy a donkey cart.
Qi You searched the market and finally saw a donkey seller in a corner. He walked over happily, “Seller, how do you sell donkeys?”
The donkey seller was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Hearing Qi You’s voice, he raised his head and glanced at him, and said casually: “One price, twenty taels.”
Qi You:…
Qi You: ┴┴︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┴┴
He should walk on two legs, he should exercise his body, ha… ha ha…
Without buying the means of transportation that he wanted, Qi You walked back depressedly. When passing by the grain store, he walked in and took a look at the face price of rice.
Chen Mi has three hundred and thirty essays per bucket, and New Rice has five hundred and fifty-eight essays per bucket.
Compared with Hyundai, one liter of rice weighs 1.25 jin, 10 liters of rice is a bucket, and one bucket weighs 12.5 jin, which is about 6.25 kg.
One tael of silver is about one thousand liters, and you can probably buy two buckets of new rice, which is 25 kilograms. Bargaining for ten taels of silver should be able to buy two hundred and fifty catties.
An adult eats at least half a catty of rice a day. They have to hurry up and will only eat more.
The five of them, Miao’er and Xiaozhu, can be converted into his own appetite. Even if four are good, each person is counted at seven or two meters per day, and four people are two catties and eight taels. This place is far from the south. If you go the wrong way, it will be fatal. If you take the shortest time to calculate, it will take two at least. It’s infinitely close to three months.
Qi You frowned, and finally decided to buy three hundred catties of grain first.
Then came the problem, three hundred catties of grain, to be transported away, you need a pallet, and safety hazards also follow. With such a large bag of things, the blind can’t see it, and it’s always eye-catching.
Also, what if someone is robbing food when it is transported manually, and he has no energy to do?
All kinds of problems are coming one after another, and Qi You is the first and two big ones. Neither does this, nor does that work, and there is simply no way to get the best of both worlds. After all, they are weak.
Unless he buys less food, what should I do if there is not enough food?
Moreover, he has to buy salt when he buys food. It doesn’t work if people don’t eat salt for a long time, and he needs to buy some meat appropriately.
Money, money, why is it always not enough! !
Wait, money?
Qi Youmeng beat his head, how could he forget that money can make ghosts go ahead, let alone buy food.
It doesn’t matter whether he takes the food or not, he takes the money.
Qi You laughed and shook his head, ah, it was really a demon just now, and he fell into a strange circle.
After figuring it out, Qi You suddenly realized that he was no longer in a hurry to buy food, anyhow he wanted to shop around first.
He went out and went to another grain shop. When he passed a noodle stall halfway, he heard a high-pitched male voice.
Qi You turned his head to look over.
I only saw the owner of the stall talking exaggeratedly to a scornful middle-aged man, “Brother Ma, what kind of wind is blowing today, give your old man—blow—come—it—ah—”
Qi You: …silently rubbed the goose bumps on his body.
The ruffian man who was called Brother Ma broke his face immediately, and the stall owner said: “What are you talking about? What is the wind blowing me. Is it possible that I can’t walk by myself?”
The noodle stall owner said in surprise: “Of course not, mainly this morning, the breeze was pleasant, and there were a few birds singing on the tree. I thought it was a happy event. I still don’t believe it. I didn’t expect you to come. It seems You are here today to settle the credit you used to pay.”
Sniper man: ╰(‵□′)╯
“Aren’t you betting on me?” The man leaned forward, his eyes puffed up, “Bet on me? Isn’t it just a bill, just tell me.”
“I won’t give it anyway.”
Noodle shop owner:…
Qi You:…
Qi You suffocated a smile, so she stood aside and didn’t leave.
The noodle stall owner was also angry, shaking his hand straight, and muttering in a low voice: “If you don’t give it, what else do I need?”
But when the ruffian man heard it, he immediately smiled proudly, “You don’t want it, don’t you want it? You said this, then I’ll go, see you later.”
“Hey, you…” What else does the noodle stall owner want to say, the ruffian man has gone far, he can only sigh angrily, and then continue with the next business.
Qi You turned his back, his shoulders trembling all the time.
Mad, this **** logic. Really convinced.
Interrupted by this farce, Qi You’s depression was completely wiped out.
He raised his foot and walked down to a grain store, his eyes shining brightly.
If they can live now, it’s better than anything else. What’s more to worry about.
Qi You strolled around the street, and when it was approaching noon, he bought a large bag and returned to the inn.
Father Qi and the others have been waiting for a long time, and when they saw him coming back, they jumped forward quickly, “How is it?”
Qi You nodded, everything was said.
He put things on the table and told Miao’er to close the door.
He opened a greased paper bag, “We eat meat buns and steamed buns at noon, and when we are full, we will go out of town immediately.”
“So anxious?” Mu Qi was surprised.
Qi You nodded, and after thinking about it, he should tell Father Qi and the others what happened in the Yamen today.
“Hiss—” Everyone took a deep breath, and Qi Mu murmured: “I only heard people say that the water in the yamen is deep, I didn’t expect the people inside to be so black-hearted.”
“Yes.” Qi You said with emotion. This is still in the next county. His Royal Highness slaughtered a bunch of corrupt officials and spoke. If there is no Jinkou Yuyan from His Highness, Qi You would not dare to think about it. If you want to live in this county, What a price to settle down.
The atmosphere was a little depressed, and everyone’s expressions were not so good. Qi You raised his hand and patted the things on the table and said, “Now all of our belongings are here.”
Qi You spread out the new rice, underneath were salt, a kettle, some dried meat, a crock, and some medicinal materials to treat wind and cold and prevent epidemics.
The last twenty taels of silver were used cleanly.
The new rice is about a hundred kilograms, and Qi You intends to carry it by himself.
Of course, his father’s legs are not good, so he must be carried on his back.
The other things were held by Qi Mu and Lin Miao’er.
After a few people simply used the meal, Qi You took them downstairs. He had to check out at three noon, otherwise he would have to pay more.
The group hurried out of the inn and walked straight to the city gate.
However, Qi You was deliberately low-key. They dressed neatly and carried their luggage in a hurry, always attracting some people’s attention.
Qi You immediately noticed the tail behind him. He quietly blocked the small pillar and the others in front, and he always paid attention to the back, and walked into a trail without knowing it.
Qi You looked at the narrow alley and stopped leaving.
The people behind them also noticed this phenomenon. They ran out with an arrogant smile, waved the stick in their hands, pointed at Qi You, “Hey, boy, just hand in the money if you know him, and grandpa can spare you a dog.” , Otherwise,” he gestured around his neck with a wooden stick.
Qi You didn’t feel scared, but felt a bit funny.
Then I felt that these people were shabby. Look at the robbers and murderers. Which ones are not equipped with knives, even if they don’t have knives, they still have hoes. It’s like these people only use a wooden stick as a knife.
Qi You counted the people, five people, yellow and thin, without sharp weapons.
Risk index: two stars.
Very good, he can overturn them all by himself.
Qi You carefully put down Father Qi, and threw the new rice wrapped in two-layer cloth bags to Mother Qi and the others.
Those people thought that Qi You was scared, so they relaxed and stepped forward, “Boy, you know…”
Qi Youmeng punched and hit the person’s abdomen. He had eaten and drank enough to rest for the past two days, and felt that his strength seemed to be a little bit stronger.
The **** had only time to let out a short scream, and got down.
When the others saw this, they were shocked and frightened, and raised wooden sticks one after another, planning to surround him and beat him.
Qi You grabbed the wooden stick that was about to hit him and kicked it forward. Another person was kicked, and then another person was kicked into the air.
“what-“
Screams sounded one after another in the trail. In a moment, a piece of land lay on the ground.
The small pillar clapped and applauded, and followed Qi You’s gestures, but the other person was small, with short arms and legs, his calf was raised, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground.
After Qi You cleaned up this group of gangsters, he couldn’t help but smile when he saw this scene when he turned his head.
Miao Er quickly helped her younger brother up, patted his little clothes, and asked worriedly, “Did the pillar hurt?”
The child shook his head, and said milky voice back to her: “It doesn’t hurt.” Then he was a little bit disappointed and lowered his head in frustration.
Miao’er didn’t know, so she subconsciously turned to Qi You for help.
Not to mention that Qi You is quite comfortable with this set. He walked over and picked up the child, nodded his little nose, and asked softly, “Tell brother-in-law, why is Xiaozhu upset?”
The child was awkward for a while, then embarrassedly approached Qi You’s ear and whispered: “Because I can’t be as good as my brother-in-law.”
Qi You laughed and deliberately lowered his voice, “That’s because you are still young. When you grow up to be as tall as your brother-in-law, you will be as powerful as your brother-in-law.”
Little pillar: “Really?”
Qi You smiled: “It really can’t be true anymore.”
The child was happy, and Qi You put him on the ground, turned his back on his back and lifted Qi’s father on his back, lifted up Xinmi, and walked past the gangsters who lay on the floor with a bunch of young and old.
The small pillar was originally walking in the middle. When he passed by the side of the gangster, he suddenly went to the outside, his small face was tight, his eyes were looking forward, especially serious, and then he raised his feet inadvertently, especially inadvertently. The **** on the ground stepped on a foot.
Qi You: ( ̄ー ̄)
