Cui Hongyu began to calculate. According to the market situation, a normal day's labor for a strong worker is only five big men.
However, Chen Xiaobei usually drives the villagers to 20 or even 30, and even drives to 50 when going up the mountain.
Therefore, it is feasible to charge one person per person for a meal, two big ones.
Since it was feasible, let's do it. Cui Hongyu drove the carriage to the county town. He was going to buy some supplies.
After entering the county town and walking around the market, Cui Hongyu was scratching his head a little.
After all, it was already afternoon and there were other things for sale in the market, but there was no one selling vegetables.
What to do if there is no food?
After walking around in a circle, Cui Hongyu finally thought of a way. There was a sheep seller nearby, so he might as well buy two sheep and go home.
But when Cui Hongyu stepped forward and asked the price, he felt a little distressed. A sheep cost two taels of silver.
Not to mention anything else, if one meal costs one penny per person, it would take 2,000 people to collect the cost of this sheep. But obviously, even if such a sheep is boiled into a big pot of soup, it will not be enough for 2,000 people.
Two hundred people would be good.
So it’s definitely not possible to drink mutton soup as it is, you have to add something into it.
But what should I do if there is no food here?
Just when she was feeling worried, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Seeing this figure, Cui Hongyu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
The person who came was none other than Feng Xiaoyue from Xiaojia Town.
Seeing Cui Hongyu, Feng Xiaoyue was also slightly surprised.
"Sister Hongyu, why are you here?"
Cui Hongyu pointed to the two sheep tied tightly on the carriage, "Oh, there are so many open mouths waiting to eat. I was thinking about buying some food, but I can only buy this."
"Isn't this good? It would be so comfortable to drink some mutton soup on such a cold day."
"But." Hei Cui Hongyu explained his situation. After listening to it, Feng Xiaoyue smiled, "Sister, it's easy. You just add vegetables. Put less mutton and more vegetables to stew him in a pot.
Is it okay?"
"Yes, but I've been here and I haven't seen any dishes!"
Feng Xiaoyue smiled slightly, "There are indeed few autumn vegetables, but it is not impossible. There is an old man Sun here who will come every morning to sell some winter melons. If you want to buy them..."
Before she could finish speaking, Cui Hongyu sighed, "Oh, I have to wait until tomorrow again. I'm afraid I'll rush back after buying it and miss lunch time. You said I promised those workers that I would cook for them tomorrow.
"
After listening to Cui Hongyu's words, Feng Xiaoyue actually smiled, "Sister, don't worry, I happened to buy a dozen here. I'll give you some first, and you can take them back for emergencies. Also, don't feed them mutton, it's too expensive.
, just get some lard and add a little bit of fat to them, they will be delicious when stewed."
Cui Hongyu smiled and nodded, "You are still smart. I am worried that I will lose money even if I can't eat much with a sheep. According to what you said, I can actually make a lot of money."
Feng Xiaoyue chuckled, "Sister, don't forget that I work in a restaurant. By the way, why not do this? I will go to your place tomorrow to help you think of a way to not only make them eat deliciously, but also to ensure that you can
Make money!"
"Okay, thank you very much." Cui Hongyu said goodbye to Feng Xiaoyue with a smile, and then followed Feng Xiaoyue's suggestion and went to buy lard, rice and noodles. After everything was ready, he drove the carriage and prepared to go back.
Just then, a person suddenly rushed out from the side and stopped in front of her carriage.
Cui Hongyu was stunned when he saw this person. He didn't know this person.
But this person seemed to be very familiar with her. He cupped his fist at her and said, "Are you Cui Hongyu, Miss Cui?"
Cui Hongyu nodded, "I am, who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. I have a friend who wants to see you. He is an acquaintance of yours. Please come with me."
Cui Hongyu looked at this man and shook his head, "Oh, then who is he? Since he wants to see me, let him come to see me openly."
The man clasped his fists again and said, "Miss Cui, there are some things that should not be done in public."
"Don't worry, you will be happy to see him."
Seeing the mysterious visitor, Cui Hongyu's curiosity was also aroused.
He had no choice but to drive the carriage and follow the visitor into the small alley next to him. But as soon as he entered the alley, a burst of white smoke suddenly floated over. Cui Hongyu didn't even have time to make a sound and fell down on the carriage.
Chen Sanqiu, who was next to him, stepped out and gave a thumbs up to the visitor, "Brother Xiaobao, well done. I knew you could accomplish this big thing."
Xiaobao chuckled, "This is too easy to deceive. I got her hooked in just a few words."
"Okay, brother, let's take her to Jizhou quickly. This is a big fish. If you give it to Marshal Zhu Meng, you will definitely get a lot of silver reward."
Xiaobao pointed to Cui Hongyu's carriage, "What about this one? What should I do?"
"Oh, I can't have this one. His carriage has no hood and cannot hide people. This carriage is just left here. Anyone who is lucky enough to pick it up can make a fortune."
After saying that, Chen Sanqiu stepped forward and picked up Cui Hongyu, "Okay, let's leave quickly."
…
In Hetou Village, Cui Hongyu did not come back until dark, and Huang Ying became a little anxious.
However, Chen Dachun, the captain of the protective village, also fell and was injured. She didn't know who to look for for a while, so she had to go back to school to see Shen Ziyan.
"Sister Ziyan, I think something is wrong. Sister Hongyu went to the county seat in the afternoon and has not come back since it got dark. Logically speaking, she shouldn't."
Shen Ziyan also frowned upon hearing this, "She didn't say what to do?"
"She just told Du Juan that she wanted to go to the city to buy some vegetables and rice and noodles, but this won't delay her for long."
"Yes, you don't need to spend the night in the county town to buy these things. By the way, you can go find their village guards and ask them to greet you on the road."
"But their captain Chen Dachun was injured today." Huang Ying sighed again as she spoke.
After listening to Huang Ying's words, Shen Ziyan stood up immediately, "In that case, let's go together. By the way, you go and settle Qiao'er first, and we will leave the village immediately."
Soon Huang Ying, Shen Ziyan, Xiao Hua and Du Juan, and four fast horses quietly left Hetou Village.
The four people held torches and shouted from time to time as they walked, and unknowingly they found the county seat.
At this time, the county town had already closed its doors, so the skills had to go back the same way.
"Hey, what should I do?" Huang Ying couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Ziyan quickly comforted her, "Maybe my sister is delayed by something else. After all, she is from the same hometown and has some friends in the city."
Now the two have no choice but to use this reason to comfort each other.
"Let's go to the county seat to search again tomorrow morning."
At this time, in the county government office, He Dali hurriedly came to see Hu Fan.
"Magistrate Hu just had something strange happen. Someone brought a carriage and reported that it was an ownerless carriage. There were two sheep on it, as well as rice, noodles, pork and other items!"
