Chapter 146 Is it possible to be a prostitute for nothing?

Of course Ning Qingxi would not tell Fu Linjun that they wanted to build the city, but they didn't have enough manpower, and they wanted to bring in some people from outside, so they needed to buy food.

"Aunt Fu, you have also been to our place. We haven't grown our own food yet, we all rely on searching in the mountains. It will be cold in a few months, and it will be even more difficult to find food in the mountains. So we want to buy some seeds and grow them ourselves.”

"When we asked the shopkeeper of the grain store, they said that we can't buy in large quantities. If we want to buy in large quantities, we need a certificate from the general's residence. Originally, I wanted to ask Aunt Fu for help, but I didn't expect you to meet us first."

Fu Linjun didn't go out much. During the time in the mountains, she lived in the room most of the time, and what she heard and heard were all described by Chang Wencheng.

That is, the day I left, I took a quick look.

Fu Linjun pondered for a moment, "Xixi, I know you are a smart girl, and you must know what auntie's current status means. Food is very important to us. The reason why your Uncle Chang gave this order is to ensure that Survival in the city and in the army."

"Well, tell your aunt how much you need, and I'll see if I can find a way to move some out."

Ning Qingxi didn't know exactly how much Ning Changrong needed, "Aunt Fu, my father knows how much you need, don't worry, we won't take your food for nothing."

If it was other forces, Ning Qingxi and the others were not sure, so they would exchange the glass, but the other party was Chang Yuan, and Aunt Fu treated her so well, no matter what, they knew each other, and if they wanted to cheat, they should cheat other people.

……

After getting drunk, several people were arranged to rest in the guest room.

Originally, there was one room for each person, but the servants in the house couldn't stand that they wanted to be in the same room, so they simply got Chang Yuan's permission and arranged for them all to be in the same room.

When they were at the banquet with Ning Changrong, Ning Daniu and Ning Husheng didn't say a word, they just drank with their heads down.

Later, they said a few words through the drunkenness, but when they heard that they were going to live separately from Ning Changrong, they were unwilling to live or die.

Ning Changrong is their backbone, if they are separated, who would dare to stay in the general's mansion?

Ning Husheng hiccupped and said, "General Chang is really hospitable, he doesn't have the airs of a big man at all. But that aura is really bluffing, just sitting there and saying nothing, I'm scared enough."

Ning Daniu curled his lips, "That's because we saved his wife, and I looked at him as if he liked our Changrong's ability. Want to try another person?"

Ning Changrong's slightly cloudy eyes regained clarity in an instant, carefully replaying the details of today's banquet in his mind.

Ning Daniu and Ning Husheng talked for a long time, and found that Ning Changrong didn't respond, so he couldn't help but look curiously.

"Evergreen, what's wrong with you?" Why are you motionless?

Ning Changrong came back to his senses, "It's okay, aren't you drunk? Why don't you take a rest?"

Ning Husheng waved his hand, "I was quite dizzy just now, but I feel much better after drinking this hangover soup."

Ning Daniu rubbed his head, "This thing works quite well."

"Evergreen, what should we do with our food?" Ning Daniu hadn't forgotten the purpose of their trip.

Ning Changrong stood up, "You guys rest first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while, you don't have to worry about the food, if everything goes well, we can go back tomorrow."

Ning Husheng and the others looked at each other, and felt that the words were a bit inexplicable, forget it, if you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it.

Ning Daniu looked thoughtfully at the back of Ning Husheng leaving.

Ning Changrong walked all the way to Ning Qingxi's room, which was arranged for her by Mr. Fu Lin.

Ning Qingxi heard the knock on the door and asked, "Who is it?"

Ning Changrong whispered: "Your father, open the door."

Ning Qingxi got up from the bed, put on her shoes, walked to the door of the room and opened it.

"Father, come in quickly."

Ning Changrong walked into the room.

"How is it? Did Mrs. Fu ask you today?"

Ning Qingxi nodded, "I asked, I told her what you told me."

Ning Changrong nodded, "Okay, it won't be long before they come to discuss with us."

"Father, what do we exchange with them? Do we still use glass? It feels a bit unkind."

Ning Changrong rolled his eyes, is this a question of kindness or not?

"Everyone already knows where our old den is. If we search carefully for a month or two, can we still not find it? If someone finds out that we tricked them, isn't it just asking for trouble?"

And according to Ning Changrong's observation, Chang Yuan should be a pragmatic person, and would not spend a lot of food for an ornamental glass.

If the other party was really such a superficial person, I am afraid that he would not be able to make such a big foundation in just two years.

Mindfulness is beyond human reach.

Ning Qingxi sat down, "Then what should we do? It was good to exchange some food with glass, but now we can't use glass, so we can't prostitute for nothing, right?"

Ning Qingxi paused for a moment, then tentatively said: "Anyway, we don't change many, why don't we just change one or two beads?"

The glass is inconvenient to carry, and they only carry a few round glass beads on their backs.

Ning Changrong shook his head, "If the grain is traded with other people, it may be possible, but at present, the large grain trade in this city is in the hands of General Chang, and the grain must belong to him. He certainly won't Agree to exchange this flashy thing for other food."

Ning Qingxi sighed, and after a while, his eyes rolled, "Father! How about we use crossbows to trade with them? Today you don't know how persistent Chang Wencheng is. He just came back, sweating profusely, and the smell of sweat is blowing in the wind Smelly Sanli, you are all in a hurry to communicate with me about the hand crossbow."

"It sounds like he wants to buy a hand crossbow or hand crossbow drawings from me. Do you think we should exchange this with them?"

Ning Changrong pondered for a moment after hearing this. If the money on their bodies is used to buy food, it is probably not enough. After all, since they went up the mountain, they have only been able to get out of their money.

Originally wanted to make some money by selling glass, who would have thought that such a situation would happen?

Seeing that Ning Changrong was still thinking about it, Ning Qingxi said again: "Father, we don't sell their repeating hand crossbows, but single ones."

When Ning Qingxi said this, she immediately stood up, walked outside the door, looked around, and walked back to the room after confirming that there was no one there.

She lowered her volume, "Aside from single-shot hand crossbows, don't we also have repeating-shot hand crossbows and gunpowder firecrackers? As long as we keep the strongest things in our own hands, let's sell them some single-shot hand crossbows. There's nothing wrong with holding on for now, right?"

Ning Changrong shook his head, "No, we can't mass-produce hand crossbows under our conditions."
