Chapter 290 How to spend?
However, when she arrived at the gate of the county government, the girl changed her arrogant and domineering appearance on the road and put on a gentle, well-behaved, pitiful and weak appearance.
It was because of this appearance that Niu Tietou fell in love with her and withstood the pressure to take Luo Qianqian and her family with him to escape the famine.
Along the way, he not only took good care of their family, but would rather eat less himself to take care of their stomachs first. When he encountered bandits, he didn't even have time to protect his own parents, and they held him tightly. The most embarrassing thing was that the woman he protected with all his heart actually stabbed everyone in the back.
Steal the secret recipe!
One must be so shameless and brazen to do such a despicable thing without any bottom line and without any conscience.
But this family not only did not feel ashamed or learn a lesson, they even dared to file a complaint with the authorities...
Okay, that's really good.
Fortunately, the third girl was smart and reviewed every detail, checked for deficiencies and gaps, and predicted the other party's next move. Otherwise, if this family of shameless ungrateful people really had to go to the county government to file a complaint, I wouldn't know how to throw dirty water on them.
No one from the Lin family's team looked at them straight in the eye. Instead, they raised their necks proudly, like victorious roosters, and walked straight past the family, pushing their carts with big strides, leaving the county government office in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
The Luo family members were left standing in front of the county government gate, their faces turning green with anger, unable to move forward or backward.
Later, a bailiff came out and scolded her a few words, but Luo Qianqian ignored him and howled at the bailiff in a shrill voice without any reason.
Luo Qianqian's original intention was to cry to the yamen runners about how Lin Xiaoyue and her group had extorted 50,000 taels of silver from her family. However, she was too emotional and spoke too quickly, so her chattering sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves, and it was impossible to hear what she was saying.
The county government had been busy with epidemic prevention and control these past two days. The bailiffs patiently listened to her incoherent and inarticulate howling like a ghost for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out what she was saying.
After not sleeping all night and suffering from severe headache, the bailiff finally couldn't bear it anymore and drew the knife from his waist, as if he was going to chop the lunatic who was making a scene in front of the county government office to pieces on the spot.
Frightened, Luo's mother and Mrs. Luo rushed forward to cover Luo Qianqian's mouth, begging for mercy and apologizing, saying that she was suffering from hysteria and they dragged her away forcibly, thus avoiding a tragic bloodbath.
Bailiff: ...I was just trying to scare her, to make her calm down and speak clearly.
-----------------
Unlike the Luo family who were dejected and suffered a great loss, the Lin family team exuded a joyful atmosphere from the inside out. Even though the people in the town were worried and there were two long queues inside and outside the town to receive the free anti-epidemic soup prepared by the county government, it could not dampen their excitement to buy, buy, buy.
Fifty thousand taels. After deducting the 20% given to Lin Xiaoyue and the money for buying the farm, there are still more than thirty-seven thousand taels (seven hundred taels are not counted because Lin Xiaoyue divided the seven hundred taels among the five "injured" people).
To put it bluntly, they couldn't save up so much money in several lifetimes, so how could they spend it? How could they spend it?
How can everyone not be excited?
Customized distillation tools? Come on, get five more sets.
Lin Xiaoyue also took the opportunity to go to the blacksmith shop and order a bunch of parts and tools that the blacksmith couldn't understand. However, she paid enough money, so the blacksmith naturally didn't say much and only made an appointment for her to pick it up in two days.
Wine? Buy it. I will clear out the stock in your wine shop and ask you to give me more jars.
Rice, pork, oil, salt, flour, sugar, various seasonings, etc., are all available in grain stores and grocery stores, so buy them.
During this period, Grandpa Lin also made a special trip to the inn where he stayed yesterday, looked for the owner, and left the address of their farm with him so that the owner could come to look for him if he needed anything.
Chun Xing also went into the clinic when she passed by and took a look around, but because the county government had purchased a large number of medicinal herbs from major drug dealers, a large number of medicinal herbs were sold out in various clinics in the town, and there was no time to restock them, so her gains were minimal.
But Chun Xing was not disappointed. She planned to go back into the mountains with Lin Xiaoyue to collect herbs on her own. She might even meet Maomao and have a good stroking with him.
Just think about that feeling...it's really addictive.
Maomao, who was hunting deep in the mountains: ...
roll!
As for ginseng, since there is no shortage of silver now, everyone naturally wants to keep it just in case, so they are not in a hurry to exchange it for silver.
Not counting the items delivered by the store, the crowd filled the seven carts that were pushed over, and then they stopped with a sense of unsatisfaction.
Amid the envious and jealous eyes of the people who were queuing on both sides of the street to receive medicine to prevent and treat the plague, he happily pushed the cart and slowly left the town.
The group of people pushed the full load of supplies back to the farm, locked the door, and then rushed into the yard, picked up shovels and started digging holes, setting traps, and traps.
What did you say?
What can I do?
They are not blind. How could a group of people not attract attention when they brought back seven carts full of supplies?
Later, large quantities of supplies ordered by wine shops, grain shops, and grocery stores were delivered one after another.
So much food, drink, and daily necessities are all stored in the manor, and this place is outside the town, so the safety factor is naturally not as good as in the town. All security can only rely on yourself. If a thief climbs over the wall in the middle of the night, you must be prepared in advance, right?
Otherwise, if so many supplies were all taken away by the thieves, they would be crying their hearts out.
Besides, it was still a year of famine. Although the towns near the state capital did not suffer from a serious food shortage, food could still be bought in the towns, although the price was much higher than in peaceful years, but at least it was still available.
Although the purchase was limited, they had experienced the hardships of famine, lack of food and water. Therefore, when they rushed into the grain store, they immediately gave the grain store owner a large sum of money in private, and only then did they allow them to purchase a large amount of supplies.
Of course, it would not be enough to stock up in one grain store, so everyone dispersed and ran to almost every grain store in the town, buying whatever they could.
So, with such a large batch of supplies coming back, how can we not be on guard? If we really wait for those petty thieves and thieves to come and take advantage of us, we will have no place to cry.
Don't blame them, they are just being mean. They are also doing this to prepare for a rainy day and to be prepared in advance.
Moreover, if something bad really happened, as outsiders who had just settled in Wanbao Town, they would be more unfamiliar with the place than the local residents, and not everyone would be willing to listen to their grievances; secondly, the most basic thing that this journey of fleeing famine taught them was that no matter at any time or in any place, they must be prepared in advance and try every possible way to protect themselves.
