Even Lai Zhicheng himself didn't expect that just by watching a fun scene, he would see a crisis for himself.
The hundreds of idiots from the village protection team were actually so bold as to beg for food from him!
It’s the opposite, it’s really outrageous!
When Lai Zhicheng's grandfather started to serve as the village leader, when did he see so many unruly people making trouble? This bunch of mud-legged people are worse than pigs and dogs. They want to rebel!
While he hated the villagers, Lai Zhicheng hated Yun Chao even more.
If Yun Er hadn't been the one to take the lead, they wouldn't have dared to fart even if they were starving to death with these muddy legs!
In what year did several people in Wolong Village not starve to death? Why didn't anyone make trouble before Yun Er showed up? Who else could this be if it wasn't Yun Er's fault?
It's a pity that Yun Chao can no longer move easily. No matter how angry Lai Zhicheng is, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, looking for other opportunities to retaliate secretly instead of doing it openly.
Faced with the angry villagers, Lai Zhicheng finally had to make concessions and agreed to provide lunch every day.
Even though everyone was fed the worst multigrain porridge, many villagers still did not continue to cause trouble. For them, this was already a great victory.
Starting from the beating of Lai Zhicheng's grandfather, when had the villagers of Wolong Village ever received such treatment?
All the work for the Lai family was for nothing.
Not only did they have to work hard, but they also had to provide food themselves. Even if they were injured, the Lai family would only say a few nice words in a pretentious manner, but never receive any compensation.
Now being able to provide a meal to a man named Lai is a treatment that the people of Wolong Village could not even imagine before. Even if it is just a meal of substandard grain porridge, it is better than before, and it is still much better!
The villagers are not stupid. Everyone knows how this kind of treatment came about. If it weren't for the example of Yun Er, Lai Zhicheng would have promised to give everyone porridge, which would be more like a dream!
In fact, there is something that many people are not aware of, which is that Yun Chao has unknowingly gradually eliminated the villagers' fear of Lai Zhicheng.
For example, he led people to beat Lai's father and son as bandits outside the village, and also tried to shame him in public, etc. This was all to show the villagers that Lai Zhicheng was not really awesome, but just a paper tiger. Otherwise, the village protection team would
How dare the team members make trouble with him?
Yun Chao has no time to take care of Lai Zhicheng's affairs now. He still has a lot of matters of his own.
After setting up four tree trunks on both sides of Wolong Gorge, Yun Chao was ready to take people to the town and find a few technicians to come back.
Even if it is a single-plank bridge, it is not enough to just put the tree trunks on both sides.
If you simply place a round tree trunk, what if it rolls when a person walks on it? Wouldn't the person fall down?
The tree trunk must be fixed well, and it must be as flat as possible with the ground, and it must not even collapse. This is a bridge that can be used for a long time.
What's more, Yunchao still has to connect several tree trunks, and an oxcart carrying goods needs to be carried on them.
Once something goes wrong, it's a big deal and you have to find a few professionals. You can't just mess around on your own.
…
The next day happened to be the market day in Sanshui Town. Yun Chao set out early in the morning with ten of his men and three bullock carts.
Shitou and Luo Zhiyuan stayed with ten boys to look after the house.
Things are no longer the same as before. There are so many properties, as well as Yun Chao’s own family members and a group of his subordinates. We can’t ignore our own affairs. Everyone is out doing errands. What should we do if someone steals from our house?
Sanshui Town is located northeast of Wolong Village, more than ten miles away.
About ten miles due east of Wolong Village is Xiahe Village.
Five or six miles north of Xiahe Village is Sanshui Town.
Five or six miles further north from Sanshui Town is Shanghe Village.
A Qingshui River flows from north to south through Shanghe Village, Sanshui Town, and Xiahe Village respectively, then turns eastward, flows through the moat of Qingyang County, and continues to flow eastward.
The so-called Sanshui Town refers to Qingshui River, Wolong Valley, and a small river called Xiaosha River, where the three rivers meet.
If it is spring, summer and autumn, in addition to taking the land route from Wolong Village to Sanshui Town, you can also take a boat and go directly along Wolong Valley.
Unfortunately, it is winter now and there is ice in Wolong Valley, making it impossible for ships to move.
Originally, Yun Chao wanted to do something new, get a few horse-drawn sledges, and go directly across the ice of Wolong Valley.
After his personal survey, he realized that the ice in Wolong Valley was not the ice in Northeast China. If a horse pulled a sledge up there, the most likely possibility would be that the ice surface would break and people and goods would fall down together!
The journey of more than ten miles, no matter how slow the ox-cart was, would not take long, just over an hour.
After traveling through time, this was Yun Chao's first visit to Sanshui Town. Even though he had the memory of the original owner, it still felt a little strange.
It is said to be a town, but it is not like those towns in later generations. It is ridiculously small, with only one north and south street.
Every fifth and tenth day, people from the surrounding villages would come to the market to exchange their excess things for what they need.
Of course, Sanshui Town itself also has shops that do business, such as grain stores, grocery stores, etc.
Yunchao went to the grain store and took a look and found that the price of grain was more expensive than in the county, so he... bought several dan.
This is not a later generation with developed transportation and transportation. Sanshui Town is much closer to Wolong Village than Qingyang County. It is normal for food prices to be slightly higher. It is more than 20 miles away, so a slightly higher price is not a loss at all.
As the saying goes: There is no firewood sold a hundred miles away, and no millet sold a thousand miles away. This is the truth.
Those who sell baskets, those who sell firewood, those who sell charcoal, those who sell...
Well, there is actually a butcher.
A temporary stall, the pork sold looks pretty good and fresh enough.
When Yun Chao asked about the price, he was surprised. The grain he bought just now was more expensive than in the city, but now the pork was cheaper than in the city, and it was much cheaper.
Pork in the city usually costs 100 Wen per catty, but here you can buy 80 Wen per catty.
"Boss, why is the meat you sell cheaper than the meat sold in the city?"
If you don't understand, just ask. Yun Chao never feels ashamed. Since he wants to develop in the Dawu Dynasty, he must know some local customs.
Although the butcher didn't know what Yun Chao was talking about as boss, he could guess that it was an honorific: "Little brother, you don't dare to call me boss. I am just a pig butcher in the countryside. I collected this pig myself in the village."
…”
Having said this, the meat vendor looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he continued: "Selling things in our Sanshui Town does not have to pay as much tax as in the city, so the prices are naturally cheaper.
…”
Yun Chao laughed loudly: "I understand. Come on, weigh all the meat. How much is the total? I want them all!"
"What? Little brother, what did you say?"
The meat vendor couldn't believe his ears: "Little brother, you want it all...all..."
"Yes, I think you haven't sold many pigs yet. Don't sell any more. It's so cold. Go home and rest. I'll take whatever is left!"
Yun Chao thought for a while and then said: "Boss, I have a deal. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
