Chapter 358 Kindness
Jiang Rong'an led his people all the way to Honghefu City, and found the post to pick up his things. He wanted to leave immediately, but found two foreigners begging them to buy their things so that they could go home for the New Year.

He was about to leave, but when Jiang Rongan saw this, he asked Jiang Songwan to ask what was going on.

After a while, Jiang Songwan led the two people over, and said that they came from Shun'an Mansion, which is southwest of Honghe Mansion. Since the village is located at the junction, it is closer to Honghe Mansion, so they came here.

They are brothers. They said that the village produces a kind of wild fruit, which tastes very good after drying, but the transportation is inconvenient, and it is not easy for the villagers to go out.
It was going to be the end of the year when everyone was poor, so the two brothers volunteered to bring everyone's sun-dried fruits to sell in exchange for money to go home for the New Year.

Unexpectedly, no one cares about this very popular fruit outside the village. Even though their price has dropped again and again, they have provided free samples, but so far only one lady has bought [-] catties of it.

Seeing that the snow was falling harder and harder, and the travel expenses they had collected were about to be spent, and the dried fruits were still unsalable, the two brothers were so anxious that their mouths burst into bubbles.

So Jiang Rongan was not yet educated, so the two brothers explained their situation clearly.

"Young master, try it. It tastes really good. Whether it's stuffed or dried, it's also feasible to make soup and cook. It's very warming. Our village women eat this during confinement."

The older one carefully opened a food box. Inside were two plates containing dried fruits that had been sun-dried dark red. A faint fragrance wafted out from the nostrils, and a few thin bamboo sticks were carefully placed on top.

Jiang Rong'an didn't say a word, and took a taste with a bamboo stick. The taste was a little crunchy, not sweet, but with a hint of bitterness in the sweetness.

"Songzao, Songwan, you all have a taste."

Jiang Songzao and Jiang Songwan can't be said to have traveled all over the world, but they still haven't eaten a lot of dried fruits in these years, and they feel very special after tasting it.

"How many catties do you have in total for these dried fruits?" Jiang Rongan calculated in his mind, "How long can it be stored?"

"We brought a thousand catties. Excluding some of the ones that were hit by the wind and snow, there are still more than 950 catties." Seeing that Jiang Rong'an took the initiative to ask for the quantity, the two brothers became more energetic and spoke carefully.

"This dried fruit is also easy to store, just put it in a tank, keep it away from water and other smelly things, it can be stored for more than one year, it can be eaten by men, women and children, there is no taboo."

"What's the price?" Jiang Rong'an nodded in his heart, after eating the dried fruit, he felt his belly was hot, like drinking hot water, which seemed to be a good thing.

"One catty..." The younger brother seemed to be about to say a price, so the older brother held him back, and looked at Jiang Rongan with some trepidation, "Master, do you want it all?"

Jiang Rong'an nodded, "It tastes good, and it's a good idea to give away." What didn't say was that he pitied the two brothers for their kindness and wanted them to go home early for the New Year.

"Ten cents a catty is enough." The elder brother said the price a little nervously, and the younger brother seemed to want to refute, but was stopped.

Jiang Rong'an knew at a glance that they would definitely sell them to him at a much lower price.In fact, calculating the distance, the two brothers probably spent a lot of money to bring these things here, and the nine taels of silver to bring back to the whole village is probably not much for a penny.

When the younger brother saw what his elder brother said, he hung his head and said nothing, obviously extremely frustrated.

"Songzao, you follow them to pick up the goods, and the money will be settled on the spot." Seeing that the people left, Jiang Rongan said to Jiang Songwan who was beside him: "Go and ask, what price do these brothers sell these dried fruits for?"

I bought it out of pity for them, so naturally I couldn't do things like crazily lowering the price. For him, money is not lacking, but for them, it is only one or two pennies away.

Jiang Songwan came back quickly and said: "The two brothers sold twenty yuan a catty, but many people didn't buy it, thinking it was the same price as meat, and the fruit had never been seen before, and they didn't know what it was. They're liars."

"I don't think they are talking nonsense, you can give them another red envelope later." Jiang Rongan reminded.

Although Jiang Songwan didn't understand Jiang Rong'an's approach, he didn't say much, and quickly complied.However, he secretly stuffed it into the two brothers' packages without telling them.

The two brothers rushed home all the way, and when they returned to the village to check the package, they found that there was an extra red envelope. When they opened it, it turned out to be a silver ticket, which was the part they discounted.

The two brothers couldn't help but their eyes were red. Because they didn't know the situation outside, they boasted to the villagers that they could sell it for twenty yuan a catty outside. Who knew that the reality was so embarrassing. They were thinking about how to explain it to the villagers, but Jiang Rongan put The money was made up.

The two brothers told the old man about this, and the old man was very grateful, "It must be blessed by the Bodhisattva, you have met a good man, hurry up and kowtow, and you also need to know that you must be careful when you speak in the future."

The old man urged his two grandsons, and closed his eyes to recite scriptures again, but this time it was for Jiang Rongan and the others.

Because there are nearly a thousand catties more things, the speed of going back has slowed down a lot, and because the road is difficult to walk, it takes more time than before and suffers more on the road.

After leaving the city of Honghe Prefecture, I went to a county town to avoid the wind and snow. When I left, I spent double the money to find someone to help deliver the goods.

"Master, there is someone fainted in the snow ahead." Jiang Songzao said, Jiang Songwan and two men brought the fainted person to him. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a monk wearing cassock , one old and one young.

Seeing this, Jiang Rongan asked for first aid, but the two monks were still unconscious when they arrived in Pingnan County.

Gu Qingya was always worried at home, afraid of when it would snow, Jiang Rongan and the others were stuck on the road and couldn't come back. Fortunately, after they went out, there was snow, but it was very small. If there is no accident, it will definitely be smooth back.

Just as she was in a daze, she suddenly heard Cheng Shui's report: "Ma'am, the young master is back."

After hearing this, Gu Qingya hurriedly went out to greet her, but she was shocked when she heard Jiang Rong'an asked someone to invite a doctor, what happened.

Jiang Rong'an asked people to arrange meals for the hired people, and was concerned about the situation of the two monks, so he looked back at Gu Qingya worriedly.

"Miss, I'm fine. I saved two masters on the way. I'm still sick. You can arrange a room for me to cook some vegetarian food alone."

Gu Qingya saw that Jiang Rongan was fine and everyone else was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she saved someone, "Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

A doctor was invited to see the two masters, and Gu Qingya made the medicine herself. At this time, those hired to deliver things did not want to stay for a long time. Jiang Rongan sent generous red envelopes and a few things one by one, telling them to be careful on the way .

The end of the year is approaching, Jiang Rong'an doesn't want anything bad to happen, and it's always right to be generous. Being able to come out to find work in such a cold day shows that life is difficult, why not be more compassionate?
