C17 (1/2)
Liu Dao Xiang had a rare good night's sleep, and before the sky brightened, she had already been quietly woken up by Liu Qiuxiang.
It was not a market day, she was supposed to rely on her short legs to walk all the way to the town, which was five kilometers away. Luckily she heard that Old Wang was going to help pull things out of the town early in the morning.
Liu Dao Xiang had also said that she wanted to help, but this child was too used to sleeping until eight or nine when he woke up. Even if he changed the map and changed the scene, he still couldn't fix this problem.
In the end, Liu Qiuxiang did not go, because Liu Qi had coughed twice in the room, and hearing the sound of her getting up, Liu Qiuxiang was frightened.
Liu Dao Xiang looked at the door that almost touched his nose, and silently touched the tip of his nose, and finally smiled, his eyes filled with hope for life.
She took a deep breath and used all her strength to exhale the exhaust gas.
Silver, she's here! Just thinking about it caused his entire body to be covered in blood and be revived.
Liu Dao Xiang followed Old Wang's oxcart to the town. Old Wang was curious as to why she was going to the town so early, she obediently replied. She wanted to go to the town to see if there was anything suitable for her to do.
”Sigh, your mother is also suffering, and her brother is also someone with character. Back then, he couldn't stand the pressure of the villagers, so after your sister got married, he stole the gift money your grandmother collected, saying that he wanted to go out and adventure. It's been almost a decade, and your grandmother was crying at home everyday and no one came back.”
It was probably because his relatives thought that he had died outside.
It was only then that Liu Dao Xiang realized why his mother had given birth to her third sister, and why no one from his mother's side had come to take a look.
When she arrived at town, the sky had just brightened, and she touched the copperplate in her pocket. Liu Dao Xiang decided to fill up his five viscera temple first, only with enough strength would he have the strength to run.
So she ran to the breakfast stall. Aiyo, the fragrance of the meat was coming into her nose, and she was about to die. No, no, she only had one copper coin, so she could only buy steamed buns.
The steamed bun was actually quite big in his hand. Liu Dao Xiang didn't know if it was worth a tael, but she had heard Liu Qi nagging that a catty of rice was only worth eighty grams.
She had heard that it had risen in the past two years. The previous few years had been much cheaper, only five cents per catty. She didn't know how this price had been set.
However, she did some rough calculations. With the thirty acres of fertile land in the Qi family's hands, the price of the grain would be four to five taels of silver per year. It would be worth at least sixty taels of silver, which was much more than the price of killing pigs in Liu Sun's family.
After thinking about it, she got even more motivated. There was still some leftover fowls and beasts to be raised on that technological planet, so it was a good opportunity for her to make a small fortune. It could also be considered as her working salary.
That day, when she was at the corner of the wall, she heard that the young wife and her wife did not return until the morning. She thought to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly move the firewood out of the space.
Taking advantage of the lack of people in the morning, she quickly slipped into the passageway on the left side of the family. With a wave of her hand, twenty loads of firewood neatly filled the entire passageway.
When it was about ten in the morning, they saw Zhang Zi leading her young daughter-in-law and carrying a bamboo basket back.
”Aunt Zhang, sister-in-law of the Zhang family.”
Liu Dao Xiang was familiar with the place, when she saw the two approaching, she waved her hand and shouted.
”Oh? Little girl, why are you alone again?” Zhang Zi was a little strange, last time he did not see this little girl's elder, how come she was the only one this time, could it be that the matter regarding the firewood was wrong?
Thinking about it, she was unhappy, seeing that the ducks in her hands had flown away, and she had calculated that the copperplate that she could earn was gone, her face was filled with unhappiness.
Seeing that her expression was strange, Liu Dao Xiang immediately laughed and replied: ”After my father sent the firewood over, he told me to stay here and guard it. He went to the restaurant to sell some wild animals, he didn't want to come back to town today, so he went to take a look around the mountain behind the village.”
When the Zhang Zi heard that the firewood was sent over, his face revealed a smile, and he replied: ”Oh, what kind of wild animals are they, although there are some left behind, I also want to buy them, but now they are not available, the villagers do not even have their own food, why would they bring them to the town to sell.”
