Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

"Mother, are they talking about big brother?" Jiang Suhe asked softly, pulling Jiang Ling's arm.

Jiang Ling nodded and said: "It should be, I didn't hear the county magistrate Duan said that there are other people."

Jiang Ling said casually, but she didn't see the light in Jiang Suhe's eyes. At this moment, she felt that her elder brother was really outstanding, and she must work hard to read and write to catch up with her elder brother.

The owner of the cloth shop looked at Jiang Ling from top to bottom, looked at her patched coarse cloth, smacked his lips and asked tentatively, "Is this sister-in-law here to buy cloth?"

Jiang Ling glanced at the boss, not surprised that the boss would say this.

The saying "a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle" has never changed.

Jiang Ling smiled at the boss and said politely, "Yes, boss, where can I choose coarse cloth?"

The boss didn't answer, he stretched out his finger to the corner next to him, and sat back at the counter by himself.

Jiang Ling took the three children and walked towards the corner. In fact, the money on Jiang Ling's body was enough to buy a few bolts of silk and satin, but the experience of starting a business told Jiang Ling that "the wealth is not revealed" is the safest way.

What's more, it's not a good harvest year now, and many refugees who have fallen into bandits have become very chaotic.

"Suihe, how about making you a new dress with this batch of cloth?" Jiang Ling asked, looking left and right, choosing a piece of light pink coarse cloth.

"Mom, my sister should wear this color, I want to wear it out to embarrass others, forget it!" Jiang Suhe said shyly with a slightly red face.

"Huh? Suihe is only ten years old. What's so embarrassing about it? Hey, I suddenly miss modern times. I can wear anything. I want to wear this pink horse!" Jiang Ling sighed helplessly.

In the end she settled on one khaki, two grays, and one light pink dungaree.

Walking out of the cloth village, Jiang bought three boxes of snacks for the three children, while he pretended to go to the grocery store to buy five taels of white sugar, stuffed these things into his back basket, and took the children towards Lu Bo's ox cart passed by.

"Oh, Mrs. Jiang, you seem to have made a lot of money in this small business!" Lu Bo stretched out his head and looked at the things in Jiang Ling's back basket.

"Uncle Lu was joking. Small businesses are hard money. I don't have at least a few pieces of Susukida like you. After I reconciled with Lu Youren, I have nothing but three children. I don't want to find some small businesses to make ends meet. These few days How can I raise a child? I can't cut the flesh and blood for them, can I?" Jiang Ling said lightly.

Uncle Lu was taken aback after hearing that, what Jiang Ling said was indeed very reasonable.He just wanted to say something to comfort Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling continued, "Uncle Lu, in the next ten days, I will come to Pingxi County at least once a day. Can I reserve your ox cart for ten days?"

After hearing this, Uncle Lu opened his mouth slightly and looked a little surprised. When there was no water source before, his ox cart business was not very good.

Although the crops were saved at this time, everyone was busy tending the fields, and there was no time to go shopping in the town, and the business of the ox carts plummeted.

Suddenly someone booked his ox cart for ten days all at once, Uncle Lu still couldn't believe it.

He poked his ear with his little finger, and asked again: "Jiang Shi, you... what are you talking about, you want to book for ten days?"

"Yes, for at least ten days from tomorrow, I will come to Pingxi County once a day, and I may also go to Changning Town, how about the fare?" Jiang Ling repeated again.

"Well... how about I charge you 10 copper coins for such a day?" Uncle Lu looked at Jiang Ling and asked.

Jiang Ling added to Uncle Lu: "Uncle Lu, let's agree that your car can only be used by us for these ten days. Don't worry, we won't waste your time too much."

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, he took out 50 copper coins from the money bag in his arms, put them in Lu Bo's hand and said, "Lu Bo, I will pay you 50 copper coins first, and the rest will wait until the fifth day when I am together." for you."

"Oh Mrs. Jiang, look at you... you..." Uncle Lu said so, but he unconsciously put all the copper coins in his pocket.

As soon as they returned to Lujia Village, all the village women at the entrance of the village surrounded them, especially after seeing the four batches of cloth in Jiang Ling's back basket, they chattered endlessly.

"Mr. Jiang, you have made a lot of money."

"Mr. Jiang, your small business is not bad, tell me, I want to do some small business too."

"Jiang's..."

Jiang Ling got a bit of a headache from being quarreled by these women. She quickly took off her pannier, put it in front of Jiang Suhe and said, "Suihe, take your younger siblings home!"

Seeing that the three children had disappeared, Jiang Ling said with a sullen face: "Hey sisters-in-law, you also know that food and drink all refer to the recipe. My recipe was passed down from my grandmother's generation. Although it is not Let’s talk about it from the ancestors, but it’s not allowed to pass it on outside.”

"Besides, sister-in-laws are really tired and busy doing this kind of small business. I fell asleep almost when I was a child last night!"

Jiang Ling's words did not convince the village women, but everyone except Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law showed disdain.

"However, sisters-in-law, you don't have to worry. I now buy a basket of "spicy grass" in Houshan for every two cents, but I only charge one basket per person per day. You can take your children to Houshan to help me pick some "Spicy grass" is back." Jiang Ling continued.

Jiang Ling's words immediately changed the faces of the village women into another expression. Everyone raised the corners of their mouths, with smiles on their brows and eyes.

"Sister Jiang, are you telling the truth?"

"Sister Jiang, you didn't lie to us, did you?"

"Sister-in-law Jiang, do you really harvest the "spicy grass" on the back mountain?"

Everyone would call "Ms. Jiang" endlessly, and Jiang Ling was speechless. This group of people changed their faces very quickly, but Jiang Ling still smiled and said: "Yes, two pennies for a basket!"

As soon as Jiang Ling finished speaking, the village women surrounding her dispersed, and then Jiang Ling heard voices calling her child's name one after another.

Jiang Ling looked at the appearance of these village women, smiled helplessly and pushed his wheelbarrow towards his own direction.

After returning home and putting down the things on the wheelbarrow, Jiang Ling stared at the basin not far away in a daze.

"It's not very convenient to take mint water out like this. If you are not careful, it will be spilled. It would be great if there is a modern concentrated syrup, so that it can be carried easily. In this way, you can sell their mint syrup directly and let them add water themselves. Already!"

"Although the sales of this mint water are good, it is too monotonous for the crowd. Some women and children are reluctant to buy it..."

Jiang Ling recalled what she had encountered selling mint water in the past two days. The people she sold seemed to be men who were working, but women and children didn't seem to sell many.

This era is different from modern times. Most of them are supported by men. Women in ordinary families seem to be reluctant to buy these things even if they have money.

Thinking of this, the rouge gouache shop she passed by in Pingxi Town suddenly appeared in Jiang Ling's mind, and another thought emerged from Jiang Ling's mind.
