Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 719 Military Supplies (2)
"The slave girl checked and met her companion, so she came back first."

Mai Dong took a sip of tea, she was discovered when she first arrived at Zhao Wanchun's house, she thought it was because the other party had an expert there, after the two fought each other, they felt that the other's moves were familiar, she saw the hollow gold bracelet on the other's wrist , Only those who have a reputation in the organization have it, so she returned it.As soon as I arrived near the gate of the border defense city, I heard the shouts of fighting outside the city, which spread far away in the silent night. The soldiers gritted their teeth, and groups of people patrolled the city gate.

"Fight in the middle of the night?"

Chunyu Wen's army from the north of the city camped more than a dozen miles outside the city, and the two sides were fighting. She heard nothing in the small courtyard, and it's only just passed the time. This time it's for real.

"The situation is still not optimistic. Daqin is even colder than Dazhou, and the soldiers there are very resistant to severe cold."

Yesterday in Chunyu's big tent, I heard from him that in winter, when it was icy and snowy, the soldiers of Daqin would bathe directly after melting the snow, and they would just be shirtless.

Qing Li sighed, feeling that worrying was unnecessary, what she could do now was to solve the problem of military supply, so that the army would not have any worries.For her, money is the most important thing. After robbing twice last time, she was a bit addicted. However, although robbing came in quickly, it was not the right way. Silver still needs to be saved one copper coin after another.

Early the next morning, Qingli had a simple breakfast, and took Yu Yu and Mai Dong out in a carriage again. Yesterday, he had contacted the people in the dental shop to buy some pork, and the dental shop said that they would do their best. The first time she bought 500 pigs, she calculated that if [-] people ate one pig, it would just supply the [-] troops outside the city.

"Miss Mo, you're here. I've already contacted you about the pork. We bought it in a nearby village. There are about [-] pigs in total. They're all live pigs. Do you think so?"

The Yaman held a pamphlet, which recorded the weight and price of each pig. All the pigs he bought were live. If he wanted to slaughter them, he needed to add money to the butcher. Three hundred pigs was the biggest deal he had taken so far. .

"It's fine not to kill."

When Qingli left yesterday, she forgot to say that she was going to live, and she was a little annoyed because of this at night.People in this era are simply wasteful. Those big bones are removed every time and kept to be fed to dogs. They don't know that big bone soup is the most nutritious.

There is also pig large intestine, few people eat it, Qingli doesn't like that taste, before when the family was poor, mother Liu never bought it, it's too troublesome to clean, you have to rub it with salt, vinegar and rough noodles, but it doesn't work Deny, the large intestine was done and tasted good.

There are also pig hearts, pig lungs, pig livers, and pig kidneys, which can be fried or made into brine platters. Pig blood can be filled into blood sausages. Both stir-fried and stewed dishes are delicious and nutritious. These are absolutely not allowed Waste, she has to personally guide on the spot.It is said that pigs are full of treasures. Now it seems that there is really nothing to throw away.

"Miss, then you have to go to the suburban county with the younger one. It will take about half an hour. All the pigs are collected by people in the surrounding villages. There is an open space there, and the younger one can contact you. butcher."

Yaren's eyes were smiling, and now Ms. Mo is his grandparents, she must be respected, and in just a day or two, they accepted several thousand taels of business.His dental practice has a good reputation, but he is often bullied and doesn't do well among his peers.

"no problem."

Qingli thought about it for a while, now the family needs servants, and in the future, she will help her buy some duck down in the market, as well as pig intestines and big bones that ordinary people don't eat, big bones make soup, hot noodle soup, and stewed vegetables They were all very good, and when there was no pork, the soldiers could still see a bit of oily smell. As for the duck down, she had thought about it a long time ago and never implemented it, so she couldn't delay it this time.

"I now need dozens of servants in my family. They must be safe. It is best to be residents in Pingyang City or surrounding villages."

Some things should be left to the servants of the death contract to rest assured. After buying three mansions, someone needs to be guarded. She can't keep watching in Pingyang.It is very necessary to buy servants, and it is best to be some smart boys. It is hot now, and those pig intestines and pig bones cannot be kept, so they can only be purchased in Pingyang City, but duck down can go farther.

"Miss Mo, I have a proposal."

Yaren knew that Qingli was the fiancée of Major General Chunyu, and was very touched by it. There were not many people who could support the army in the north of the city with practical actions. Those wealthy families, after learning of the war in Pingyang, were devoid of money and rolled up their bedding. It was ordinary poor people who went to other cities to donate food and clothing.

"Well, you said."

Qingli knocked on the table with one hand, thinking about how many people to buy for the family. These are not important tasks, but I don’t worry about anything. Originally, she could go back to her hometown this year, but when the war kicked off, these people refused to leave and wanted to do something, so they were sent to logistics. If she needed it, some people could be deployed.

"You really don't have many piglets, why don't you buy more piglets now, and they can be transported to Pingyang in the surrounding cities."

Yaren took a sip of tea, and then continued, "If you don't want to raise them together, there are many poor country people in the surrounding families who cannot afford to raise pigs, so let them raise them for you. At the end of the year, the New Year's pigs will be killed and given to you." They have worked hard, so they have pork, and they can get some money to live a good year, and you don’t have to worry about it, you can kill two birds with one stone.”

"It's a good idea, let's do it."

Qingli made a decision and agreed, she was worrying about what to do with the next batch after buying these three hundred or so pigs, Yaren's suggestion was good, in winter, all these pigs could be killed and frozen, or made into bacon, depending on the battle In this case, it will not be over for a while.

After discussing with Yaren, Qingli was taken to a large courtyard, surrounded by low and dilapidated thatched houses, where dozens of emaciated people with patches lived.The toothman said that these are servants who want to sell themselves, almost all are locals, some sold themselves to treat illnesses of Lao Tzu's mother, and some became orphans after their parents left, and their relatives did not want to take care of them. The girls in their teens were even more pitiful. Their parents sold them cruelly in order to marry their younger brother.

In this era, sons are preferred over daughters, and girls are not worth much. Generally, farmers raise daughters to do work at home, and some even take care of their younger brothers. They feed chickens and ducks at home every day, cook, sew and wash. Use it as half a labor.Even if my parents don't favor boys over girls, the second sister still has to do work, and cousin Qingju, when the family was in trouble, she didn't have time to go out and wander around, so she worked at home every day.
