Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng were not familiar with this area and couldn't even speak the same language, so they invited Li Ying and a few steady Guzhu people to accompany them.
Most of the people in their tribe only go to town a handful of times in their lifetime. After all, who goes there when there is nothing to do.
As soon as they heard that they were going to the town, everyone was very happy. Li Ying was also the same. She dressed up specially, put on clean new clothes embroidered with flowers, combed her hair carefully, and chose to embroider her turban.
The one with flowers wore a pair of unique silver earrings and two small unknown flowers on her temples, making her look bright and pretty.
Everyone went out early in the morning, and it was cool in the morning. It was only about nine o'clock when we arrived in town, and the sun was not high yet.
But maybe because of the rush, I already felt very hot.
The seven hungry people found a rice noodle stall and sat down. Each person ate a large bowl of rice noodles with rich toppings, such as fried peanuts, fried sesame seeds, chopped green onions, shredded pork, sauerkraut, etc., plus a spoonful of meat and bone broth.
Incredibly delicious.
Zhao Liya saw that they didn't seem to have enough, and Zhou Hansheng had a big appetite, so she ordered another portion for everyone.
She is enough on her own.
Li Ying and others were a little embarrassed, "This cost sister Xiaoya a lot of money again."
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "You are here to help us work. How can we let people work without filling their stomachs? You just eat and eat well. If it is not enough, ask for another bowl!
"
Everyone was polite and very happy in their hearts. I don’t know how many times they praised them, “They are such good people!”
The store owner was also very happy. Unexpectedly, he got lucky early in the morning and sold more than a dozen bowls at once.
After eating and drinking, everyone was full of energy, "Let's go to work! Sister Xiaoya, if Brother Zhou needs anything, just tell us, don't be polite!", "That's right, we can't do anything else.
I have plenty of strength.", "You can't eat sister Xiaoya's rice noodles in vain!"
"Exactly!"
Everyone unanimously agreed.
Zhao Liya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she politely agreed.
She quietly smiled at Zhou Hansheng and sighed: "Sister Liying and the others are so polite and honest, and I feel a little guilty in my heart!"
Zhou Hansheng couldn't help but laugh, and comforted her: "We are lucky, we meet good people with solid eyes." He said and smiled again: "You are too polite and honest to say that, at worst we can buy more.
Just give them something."
He didn't tell her that these tribesmen are really nice. If you are unlucky and encounter a difficult one, they will be really difficult. It doesn't make sense at all!
Just one word, axis.
Two words, extreme.
Look at the axis end-to-end, what is the extreme direction?
Zhao Liya couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said, and nodded: "Well, buy them more rice and two kilograms of meat!"
Zhao Liya and the others were purchasing in large quantities, so they rented donkey carts first and rented four in total.
Although it was the first time for Li Ying and others to drive a donkey cart, they were still the same as those who had driven an ox cart before.
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng took them to the largest rice and grain shop in the town.
He said he wanted to buy 1,800 kilograms of rice. He would come here every four days or so to buy 1,800 kilograms of rice each time. When he didn’t need it, he would say hello to them in advance and ask them if it was available in the store.
supply?
This was a big business, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he received it personally and made a decision on the spot.
Their rice and grain store can afford this quantity.
After the two parties agreed on the price, the guys immediately loaded the bags of rice onto donkey carts and divided them into three carts.
Zhao Liya bought more than 200 kilograms of additional rice and loaded it on another car. Then the group went to buy various seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.
I bought a lot of miscellaneous things, filling another donkey cart to the brim.
After buying the things, Zhao Liya saw that it was still quite early, so she smiled and said: "Brother Zhou and I are guarding the donkey cart. You can go shopping and come back after a while. Don't worry, we can go back in time."
After finally coming to the town, Li Ying and the others couldn't get enough of their eyesight since they entered the town. They looked around unconsciously, eager to try, and seemed very interested.
Zhao Liya can understand this feeling. Even though you are here, it would be too embarrassing not to let people hang out.
Li Ying and others really wanted to go. They made sure again and again that they would not waste time, and they went happily.
Zhou Hansheng smiled at her and said, "Would you like to go shopping too? I can wait here alone."
Zhao Liya shook her head and smiled: "We have to stay here for a long time. There will be many opportunities in the future."
Liying and the others are different, they don't always have time to spare.
Zhou Hansheng said: "Yes, next time I will go shopping with you."
"Um!"
Li Ying and the others returned from their stroll, knowing that business was more important, so they only wandered for more than half an hour before returning.
He also brought back delicious coconut cakes to Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng, "The coconut cakes we have here are very fragrant, especially delicious!"
Zhao Liya tasted it and found that it was full of coconut aroma and had a sweet taste, "Well, it's really delicious!"
"Yeah!" Everyone was happy to see that she liked it.
There was a rice noodle stall nearby, so everyone had another meal before returning.
The next morning someone from the tribe will hand over the donkey cart and get the deposit back.
Zhao Liya asked Li Ying and others to share the two hundred kilograms of rice and several pieces of meat bought at the market with the helpers. Each person could divide about thirty kilograms of rice and three or four kilograms of pork.
Now everyone was even more embarrassed. They all said that Sister Xiaoya and Brother Zhou were too polite! They didn’t help much. They even took this opportunity to go shopping in the town. After all, they all made money.
.
So everyone rushed to invite the two of them to their homes for dinner.
In the end, Li Ying couldn't win over Li Ying. Li Ying happily took the two of them away, "Of course you'd better go to our house! Kill a chicken and stew it with coconut tonight. It's delicious!"
Coconut chicken, Zhao Liya was really greedy for this bite! Her eyes lit up unexpectedly.
The next day, various supplies were transported into the mountain by boat.
Because it was going against the current, it would be more troublesome. Li Zhu specially selected thirty or forty strong men to accompany the boat. When encountering a place with a strong current, he could use a hemp rope to pull in front and push in the back.
Li Zhu patted her chest and assured that all the supplies would be delivered safely, and then stayed in the mountains to help simply build a covered area, and would not come back.
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng nodded and said yes.
They will wait for the fleet to arrive and will pass by.
Zhao Nan, Zhong Ming was also very fast, and arrived the next day, and hired a car to bring saws, axes, hatchets, hemp ropes, etc., as well as gauze, trauma medicine, mosquito, snake and ant medicine, etc. that had been prepared earlier.
Already.
Obviously, everyone has to stay for a long time when going into the mountains.
