"Ma'am, I can still hunt rabbits in the mountains and catch fish in the river."
The fat girl faintly understood her father's good intentions, and took the initiative to fight for it, "Madam, why don't you buy , I only eat six stead buns per al."
Six? stead buns? Li Haitang was surprised, but it was a blessing to be able to eat, and there was a Sixi in the family who was also good at eating.
These days, there is generally no oil and water, so food is particularly wasted. Later, the family almost has at every day, and Sixi eats much less than before.
"??? No, three is fine."
Fat??? The girl scratched her head and smiled, there can be no less, otherwise it will be so uncomfortable to be hungry and unable to sleep at night.
"Ma'am, the youngest is Zhao Quan. This is my daughter, Fatty. Our family lives in Zhaojia Village, and it is the first one we enter the village."
As soon as the old man saw that he had a family, he imdiately reported his family. There were two sons in his family, both of whom were married to wives.
He and his wife do farm work at ho. Currently, only the little girl, Fatty, is unmarried. She is fifteen this year and has just turned jiu.
The family only has a few acres of Susukida, and the harvest this year is not good, and they can't even eat enough. Now that the war is going on, the daughter can eat, and the two daughters-in-law have great opinions.
Zhao Quan couldn't treat one more favorably than another, although he felt sorry for his daughter, there was nothing he could do.
Alas, they are all poor!
If the price of food does not rise, he can work in the city for a bite of food. Now there are too many prostitutes in the village, and his daughter has no advantage at all.
"??? Well, I want her."
Li Haitang pointed at Fat Ya, it's good to have such a girl, it doesn't matter if she is stupid, and she doesn't let Fat Ya go to march and fight, as long as she can work, be obedient, and do her job.
Now she needs soone to pass letters back and forth, run errands, find soone weak, and she can't rest assured.
In the end, Li Haitang gave Zhao Quan two bags of grain and twenty taels of silver, and signed a death contract with Fat Ya.
She promised that as long as she was in the border town, she would let Fatty go ho and have a look at it every once in a while.
"Husband, do you want to change her na?"
Fat? Ya, this na is really not very pleasant. In the future, if you bring people to the capital, you will be easily laughed at. You must have a tall na.
Xiao Lingchuan was noncommittal and didn't speak for a while. Li Haitang thought about it and asked his savage husband to na it. In the end, it might be a series of Hanamaki and stead buns.
"Fat girl, you are called Wufu, you are blessed."
There is a four-happiness in the family, and a five-blessing, just right.
"Thank you Ma'am, Wu Fu, this na is better than Fat Ya."
The fat girl muttered silently, and she soon beca happy again. She went out to work by herself, and she was very happy when she got paid and could help the family.
Li Haitang sighed, foolish people have foolish blessings, thanks to Wufu following her, she is not the kind of person to tease people.
The surroundings were ssy and noisy, and so people even made a big deal to grab the business. So middlen from other places seized the good business opportunities and bought dozens of little girls at extrely low prices.
After training, these little girls are sold to big families as servants, worth at least twenty taels, and the cost of training is less than three taels of silver.
The ones with delicate and graceful appearance may be sold to Hualou in the future.
So???? So, sotis, it's really not a good thing to be pretty without a backer.
After buying Wufu, the couple first went to Chunniang's residence. The Buzhuang is closed, the door of Chunniang's door is closed, and it is quiet inside.
A group of people called for the door, and after a long ti, the servants of the family peeked inside and saw that it was Li Haitang, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haitang, I'm packing my things at ho, and I'm going to move to Lucheng before there is any trouble."
Chunniang was overjoyed when she saw Li Haitang, she thought for a few days, the couple used to be indifferent, now they have a baby, they are looking forward to more than ten years of incense, really can't let the little bun be in any danger.
The barbarians ca in a nacing manner, and it was said that the situation was extrely tense, and after only a few days, it showed signs of decline.
If you wait for a while, the border town is occupied by barbarians, burning, killing and looting, and there is nowhere to hide.
Taking advantage of the present, she has to move quickly. Losing money is a trivial matter, and she doesn't care at all.
"We don't have a house in Lucheng, so we have to go to you."
Chunniang plans to stay at Li Haitang's house in Lucheng for a period of ti with a family of three, and check the situation first.
There are three people in one room, and she and Aunt Chen also know each other, so there will be no conflicts.
As for the servants in the family, Chunniang couldn't take care of them, so she gave so money and went ho to settle down.
"Chun Niang, it's not too late, you pack your things and go."
Li Haitang frowned, the mountain was quiet and quiet, and she lived a good life, if she didn't hear the news of Yun Jinghong's poisoning, she would not plan to go down the mountain in a short ti.
In just over ten days, the people in the border town beca restless, presumably soone was spreading rumors among them, and the morale of the army and the people were also unstable.
This is not a good sign!
"Rumors are spreading in the city now, and people's hearts are in chaos."
Chunniang looked sad. She had been in the border town for a long ti, and she had already regarded it as her hotown.
Now that the two countries are at war, those profiteers are driving up food prices together, making war fortunes, and making the lives of the people miserable.
Looking at the winter, there is no harvest, and no one has much food in stock. How can every family survive the long winter?
Without food, they will starve to death or freeze to death. In order to survive, kind people have to take risks, steal and rob.
It is very dangerous for a family to live in a border town, and if Lucheng closes the city gate, then this place will beco a dead city.
Li Haitang nodded. The profiteers just want to take advantage of the last chance to earn a ticket, and they don't care about other people's life or death.
After earning money, you leave with your family and change places to eat, drink and have fun. If you have money, are you afraid you won't find fun?
The country hates the family feud and has nothing to do with them.
Just now soone shouted on the street that the price of grain has been reduced. It is for the past two days. The brown rice and rough noodles that were originally worth a few pennies have doubled.
"Your Majesty the Prefect has gone to look for the big rice farrs in the city."
Chun Niang sighed, but so what, after the war, food is the life-saving thing.
The rchants have food in their hands, and the magistrate has nothing to do with them.
"How dare they refuse?"
Li Haitang can't figure it out, these people have taken the courage of the bears, the magistrate is a city's parents and officials, who want to ignore human lives, and the profiteers are shrewd, how dare they confront them openly.
"I dare not, they agreed on the surface."
Chun Niang waved her hand. There are policies on the top and counterasures on the bottom. The magistrate doesn't know how much food is in stock at ho.
Therefore, rchants sell hundreds of catties of cheap grain every day, and then close their doors, and secretly resell them at high prices in private.
They first go to the village to collect grain, and then sell it to earn the difference. They are empty-handed.
The war has just begun, and it has not yet reached the end of the mountain, and most people are holding a wait-and-see attitude.
"Haitang, although you live on the mountain, you won't be affected, but if the border town is lost, this place will be the territory of barbarians." Thinking of this, Chunniang broke into a cold sweat. She heard that there was a problem in the army, and this battle was bound to be very bitter.
