She planned to tell the villagers at the entrance of the village that feathers would be purchased from the villagers at the price of one penny per pound, and then spread to the outside villages little by little from the village entrance.
As a result, when she came to the village entrance, she happened to meet Liu Dagen.
Liu Dagen was limping with a cane and walking towards the open space in front of him.
When he saw Jiang Hexi walking over, his face instantly turned gloomy.
However, remembering Jiang Hexi's kick against him, he shuddered, smiled secretly, turned around, and walked away with his crutch.
Huh, she's just an orphan, so what if she has strength? There are still ways to deal with her.
And wait!
Liu Dagen thought that Liu Ergen worked as a thug in a casino and had many dirty tricks in his hands, so he planned to deal with Jiang Hexi after he recovered.
On the other side, Liu Sigen saw that his elder brother had returned from injury. Because he had no plans for Jiang Hexi for the time being, although he was unwilling to do so, he found the daughter of a poor family near Ji Hongmei's natal family's house and coaxed and deceived him.
, took them directly into the city together, they thought they would open the business first and contact the business.
As for the good seedling Jiang Hexi? Let’s make another plan.
Therefore, when Jiang Hexi was walking towards the entrance of the village, she happened to meet Liu Sigeng and his wife with two young girls, driving a donkey cart towards the city.
When he met Jiang Hexi, Liu Sigen could even smile calmly and said, "Girl He Xi, the fourth uncle is making money in the city. If you can't survive, follow the fourth uncle into the city. With your face,
You can easily earn gold and silver."
Jiang Hexi said calmly, "I can't handle your big business. Fourth uncle, go and make a fortune."
Liu Sigen was not angry either, and said, "Maybe you will think about it later? Fourth uncle is waiting for you to make a lot of money!"
While shaking his body, he walked away happily.
Jiang Hexi said "poof" at the back, spit, and then walked towards the jujube tree nearby.
When Jiang Hexi walked under the jujube tree, a group of villagers happened to be sitting around under the jujube tree, basking in the sun.
In autumn in the north, even if the sun shines, the wind is still harsh. Fortunately, the weather is nice and the sun shines down warmly, making everyone sit where they are and reluctant to take a step forward.
When Jiang Hexi walked over, Aunt Fu greeted her and said, "He Xi'er is here? Come and bask in the sun."
Jiang Hexi smiled and said, "Auntie, I won't bask in the sun anymore. I came here to ask Auntie if you have any duck feathers for sale? I want to buy some."
Aunt Fu said in surprise, "What? Those useless duck feathers, do you want to buy them?"
Jiang Hexi nodded and said, "Yes, it's a penny per pound, or you can exchange duck feathers for fat intestines. If you have duck feathers, madam, remember to sell them to me. Don't throw them away and waste them."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the village looked over.
Mrs. Liu said, "Girl He Xi, are you really collecting duck feathers?"
"Yes, you can also harvest goose feathers." She repeated what she said, "You can also exchange duck feathers for fat intestines!"
"Okay, I'll go look for it."
Almost as soon as Jiang Hexi finished speaking, a group of people on the side ran away in a hurry.
They all thought that there should be goose and duck feathers in the nearby woods or in a corner of their home.
No matter how much you collect, it’s enough to give your family a bowl of fat intestines for dinner.
Jiang Hexi said to their backs, "If you have any goose feathers or duck feathers, remember to bring them to me in exchange. Goose feathers are more expensive, two copper coins per pound. Just send them to my house. I'm at home."
"Hello!"
When Jiang Hexi saw that Matchmaker Yang, who was the most talkative among the crowd, was also there, she knew in her heart that the news of her acquisition of goose and duck feathers would soon spread.
By then, she will be able to accumulate goose and duck feathers faster.
Even when she went to a neighboring village to sell fat sausages, she was ready to exchange goose and duck feathers.
As long as she spread the message further, she believed that she would soon be able to collect enough goose and duck feathers.
Now that the news had been conveyed, Jiang Hexi walked towards home.
When walking to the roadside, it was a coincidence that I happened to see Jiang Wanying standing shyly next to Zhao Dalang, with their heads touching each other and talking cordially.
Jiang Hexi just got closer and heard Jiang Wanying say timidly, "Brother Zhao, you are so gentle, so talented, and so beautiful. I really envy Sister He Xi. Sister He Xi can be loved by a man like Brother Zhao. It’s really enviable.”
Zhao Dalang was silent for a moment, looked at Jiang Wanying with a pair of seemingly passionate eyes, and said warmly, "Wanying, you will also find the husband you like in the future."
Jiang Wanying's throat seemed to be knotted, and she cried and said, "But...but...where can I find such a beautiful husband as Brother Zhao?" She paused and then said, "Brother Zhao, my mother is here. I rejected all the people I talked about. I...I...no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find a man like Brother Zhao. But don't worry, Brother Zhao, liking you is my business and has nothing to do with you. Don’t feel bad about this.”
After saying these words, when Zhao Dalang looked at Jiang Wanying, his expression became gentler. After all, Jiang Wanying came from a good family and was beautiful. What man would not be moved by such a girl's love and confession?
At that moment, Zhao Dalang reached out his hand and couldn't help but wipe away the glistening tears from the corners of Jiang Wanying's eyes.
At this moment, Jiang Hexi coughed.
"You continue, I won't disturb you anymore!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Hexi turned around and left.
She was already thinking about breaking off the engagement, and the reasons were already there, so there was no need for her to look for other reasons.
On the side, Zhao Dalang's expression couldn't help but change.
When Jiang Wanying saw it, she suddenly said with a sad face, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have appeared next to Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao, Sister He Xi seems to have misunderstood. How about I go and explain it to her? Sister He Xi If you are so sensible, you shouldn’t blame me, eh eh eh!”
Turning her head, she said to Jiang Hexi, "Sister Hexi, Brother Zhao and I have nothing to do with each other. You won't blame me, right?"
Jiang Hexi:......
If she blames her, is that unreasonable?
Jiang Hexi said with a smile, "What do I blame you for? Your Brother Zhao is so gentle, so talented, and so beautiful. I will give you the favor of Brother Zhao that you envy."
As he spoke, he turned around and left.
As for what would happen to this scumbag and Green Tea, she didn't want to waste time at all.
When Jiang Hexi returned home, she was not idle. In addition to collecting goose and duck feathers to make down jackets for sale in winter, she also planned to pick some chestnuts and pine nuts to fry and take them to Yucheng to sell.
Thinking of the smell of sugar-roasted chestnuts, she swallowed subconsciously.
If you have sugar-roasted chestnuts, you will definitely be able to make a fortune again.
You must know that in the nearby mountains, it happens to be the ripe season for chestnuts and pine nuts, but most of the villagers treat them as snacks, and no one takes them to the city to sell them.
Even if you bring it to sell, you won't be able to get the price for it because it's not fried.
To fry pine nuts, you need to go to the river to pick up some sand and gravel.
In fact, repeated frying is also a technical job and is very energy-consuming.
Jiang Hexi planned to recruit Uncle Jiang to join the gang. During the days when Uncle Jiang was selling sausages together, Jiang Hexi could see that Uncle Jiang's character was reliable.
There are chestnut trees in the thin land assigned to Jiang Hexi's family, not far in front of her house.
Jiang Hexi immediately took a scraper and a backpack and went to beat chestnuts first.
There are already many holes in the chestnut thorn balls, and there are even many chestnut thorn balls falling on the ground under the chestnut tree.
Jiang Hexi rummaged through the bushes and found a large chestnut. She picked up the chestnuts on the tree and started beating chestnuts. After a while, a lot of chestnut thorn balls fell from the tree.
Cleaning chestnuts out of their thorn balls is actually a technical job. Just in front of the eaves of her house, someone holding a feather was calling her name. Jiang Hexi responded and carried the basket to her home.
The first ones who came to sell feathers were the children of the second grandfather's family, and each of them carried a large basket of feathers.
Jiang Hexi hurriedly took the scale from home, weighed it directly for her cousins, and gave them copper coins on the spot.
Of course, she also warned her cousins not to leak her purchase price, and they all nodded vigorously.
The cousins and cousins got the copper coins and left happily. They were going to a nearby village to look for feathers. And now that they have copper coins, they can go to the nearby villages to buy feathers. One copper plate is a pound. If I sell three copper coins per pound to Jiang Hexi, I can earn two copper coins per pound. If I can purchase more than ten pounds per day, I can earn twenty copper coins per person.
This is definitely a huge sum of money for children who don't even have a single coin.
And most importantly, the feeling of being rich is really great.
When they were taking them away, Jiang Dahu, the second grandfather's cousin, felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Jiang Hexi picking up chestnuts, he hurriedly said, "Sister Hexi, if you want chestnuts, just tell us. I know where you can get them." There are too many chestnuts, just wait, I will get them for you later."
Jiang Hexi hurriedly said, "I can also buy chestnuts."
"Sister He Xi, no need."
This kind of thing is everywhere in the mountains, and they are embarrassed to accept money from their cousin.
They ran away quickly, fearing that they would be late and the feathers nearby would be picked up.
After cousin Jiang Dahu ran away with several children, Aunt Fu also came.
Aunt Fu looked cheerful and held up two large frames of feathers.
Aunt Fu said, "In these two frames, I have one frame of goose feathers and one frame of duck feathers."
Jiang Hexi hurriedly weighed Aunt Fu. A basket of goose feathers weighed eight kilograms, and a basket of duck feathers weighed fifteen kilograms. A total of thirty-one copper coins.
Jiang Hexi gave the money readily and directly paid the thirty-one copper coins to Aunt Fu.
Aunt Fu was so happy that the smile on her face never stopped, and she immediately took out three copper coins to buy a bowl of sausage.
