A total of 28 people went to the market in Ajia Village this time. Twenty-three young and middle-aged women who looked very tough in five years.
When Qixuan arrived, the crowd was not there. Seeing a woman, Qi Xuan couldn't help asking the village head: "Master village head, didn't you say that only women are going to the market?"
The village chief glanced at Qixuan and said, "They are going to buy some things that women need." There is a kind of hemp in the village. The hemp is twisted into threads and then woven into cloth, which can then be used to make clothes. But it takes needles to make clothes, which are not available in this village. There were other odds and ends, and the village chief didn't say anything.
After a pause, the village chief said: "They will also buy some grain and vegetable seeds. You can go with them at that time."
Qi Xuan nodded and said: "Okay."
After the people arrived, twenty-nine people set off in a mighty manner.
Quickly following Niti, Qi Xuan handed him the cloth pocket with the pancakes: "This is the pancake I asked Ah Qiao to make for you."
Niti heard this and immediately took the pancake. Hanging the cloth pocket around her waist, Niti asked with a black face, "If you don't like her, why do you want to marry her?"
"what?"
Niti said with certainty: "If you like her, you won't let Ah Qiao make pancakes for me." If it was him, he would never allow his wife to make food for a man who coveted him. The only explanation is that the surname Han didn't take Ah Qiao at all.
Qi Xuan was said to be stunned, he really didn't think about it. However, Qi Xuan was originally fresh for Aunt Dou, and when his fresh energy passed, it seemed that Aunt Dou's whole body was flawed. During this time of getting along, his attitude towards Aunt Dou became better. I like it, but I don’t have it anymore.
"You don't love her, and you want her to accompany you to suffer together. You are not a man." Niti can't even look down on Qixuan now. This person is not worthy of being a man at all.
Although Qixuan didn't like the people in Ajia Village, he had a good impression of Niti. He likes Qiao Niang, but he has never done anything embarrassing Qiao Niang, let alone strong.
Qi Xuan couldn't bear to say that Aunt Dou would not marry her: "This matter, let's talk about it in a year!" Even if he lost, he took Qiaoniang back to the capital a year later. However, after eating so much meat, he would definitely compensate him. Since he is missing a daughter-in-law, it would be a reward to find him a daughter-in-law that suits his wishes.
Niti heard this, but nodded: "You'd better follow me these days and don't be alone." If Qixuan now gives Qiaoniang his hand, Niti will not be happy, but will instead let him. There was a beating.
Qi Xuan's heart became tense after hearing this, which meant that if he left the group, he would be in danger.
That Nissan had a malicious heart towards him again, and the look in his eyes when he met him on the road the other day was murderous. Although it was a bit embarrassing, he still had to follow Niti for the sake of his life.
Qi Xuan said, "Thank you very much." He said silently in his heart, and he will definitely re-report in the future.
Niti said, "I'm not doing it for you." He just didn't want Ah Qiao to be sad. It's a pity that such a good woman happened to meet an incompetent and careless man.
At first Niti thought Qi Xuan would lose his chain, but he didn't even breathe a breath after walking for a long time, which was beyond his expectation.
When it was getting dark, I saw a wooden house in Qixuan. Although he was surprised, he did not ask. When asked Niti, they were too embarrassed to betray him so much. Asking other people, I can't understand how to ask.
This time, the leader of the hunting team, Nigel, led everyone out to the fair. He pushed aside the wooden house and walked in, and the others followed.
Qi Xuan understood right now that this wooden house should have been specially built by them to rest.
When I walked in, I saw an old wooden bowl with a tin can placed in the wooden house.
Several women took out the tin can and wooden bowl, washed them, and then poured water into the tin to burn. After the water boiled, I threw a little dried vegetables and some salt into it. Then, each person has a bowl of vegetable soup.
Nigel's relationship with Nissan is better than that of his brothers. When he saw his pancakes, he said, "You look delicious. Give me a piece."
The two are good brothers, so Niti would naturally not be stingy and took a piece for him to eat.
After Nig took a bite, he couldn't help saying: "It's so fragrant. Nissan, if you marry Na Qiao, you will have a good taste in the future." He heard his wife say that A Qiao cooked a good dish, the village chief’s My daughter-in-law has been instructed by her that her cooking skills are now better than before.
Niti shook his head and said, "I'm afraid she won't." He didn't put Qi Xuan in his eyes, but he had to consider Aunt Dou's opinion. If Aunt Dou didn't want to, even if she won Qixuan, she wouldn't marry Ah Qiao.
Nig knew the temperament of this good brother, and didn't say much, just patted his shoulder.
At this moment, someone suddenly yelled. The two couldn't help looking towards the place where the noise was making.
Qi Xuan grabbed the bag of pancakes and stared at Nissan, "What do you want to do?"
Nissan clenched his fists and said: "Such a good thing, you are not worthy of eating waste. Give it to me, or I will beat you to death." This Nissan is very domineering in the village. But there are village regulations, so I don't dare to go too far.
Although Qi Xuan couldn't understand what he said, he saw that he wanted to grab his own pancake: "Don't think about it." As he spoke, he grasped the pancake tighter and tighter.
Nissan saw Qixuan's expression and knew that he had refused: "Looking for death..." As soon as the words fell, he struck him with a fist.
Qi Xuan rolled to the side, avoiding Nissan's heavy punch.
Nissan wanted to make another punch, but his arm was caught by someone who couldn't move.
Turning around, it turned out to be Niti.
"Get out of the way, I have to teach this soft-footed monster today." Not only Niti looked down on Qi Xuan, but Nissan also looked down on him.
Niti said, "You can teach him, but he has to wait a year, and now he can't get hurt anymore. Otherwise, I won, and I won't be able to win." In fact, this is also protecting Qi Xuan in disguise. But when he said that, the other young and strong men in the village were on his side.
Nissan couldn't beat Niti, even if he didn't want to, he resisted the anger and retreated.
Last time Niti beat him to bed for two months. The family didn't help him out, and two of his former friends hadn't talked with him anymore. Even if Aunt Dou was not from Ajia Village, but Nissan wanted to use her strong, she was still spurned by many people.
Niti said to Qi Xuan, who was hanging his head, "Don't worry, no one will do anything to you before I fight you." Of course, it's limited to the bright spot. As for the dark place, there is nothing he can do.
"Thank you." Qi Xuan clenched his fists tightly when he said this. In the future, he must let this wild man lie in bed and can't get up for a year.
The next journey was very smooth. But it was already evening when I arrived in town. A group of them lived in the home of the village chief’s brother Su Qi.
Qi Xuan took a chance to find Su Qi alone, and asked, "Mr. Su, I don’t know where the iron shop in the town is?" He wanted to buy a knife. The bullying of that savage Nissan.
"What are you looking for at the iron shop?"
Qi Xuan had already thought about this reason: "I want to buy a big knife for hunting in the future."
Su Qi glanced at Qixuan and said, "There is no iron shop in the town. But even the iron shop in the county seat will not make you a big sword." It's really a young master, he doesn't even know this basic common sense. .
"Why?"
Su Qi said: "Broad swords are weapons, and weapons are controlled by the court. But if you want to hunt in the mountains, you can customize a set of bows and arrows. However, a good set of bows and arrows costs twenty taels of silver."
Aunt Dou's gold and Buddha are two heavy, and it is only two taels if they are replaced by silver. It's a long way from twenty taels. Furthermore, this golden Buddha has to be exchanged for silver to buy necessary items such as salt, grain, and needlework.
Without money, big swords and bows and arrows become empty talk. At this time, Qixuan, don't even miss the bows and arrows made of fine iron hanging in the study for decoration.
Su Qi asked: "The copper coins are all used here. If it is gold and silver, you have to go to the shop to change it. If you want to go to the shop to change money, it will cost 10%."
"Such a high fee?" These people are too ruthless, and they have to take 10% of the fee.
Su Qi nodded and said: "Although the cost is good, there will be no problem with the money exchanged in this shop. Going to other places may exchange for fake money." This other place refers to the black market. No matter where it is, there will be a black market.
Seeing Qixuan's look distressed, Su Qi said, "I and the shopkeeper in the shop are acquaintances. I'll change it for you at half the cost."
Qi Xuan gave him the Golden Buddha and said, "Mr. Su, then you can replace it for me!" Now it can save one point, it is one point.
Su Qi took the Golden Buddha, weighed it and said, "This Golden Buddha is estimated to be around two or two, which can be exchanged for two thousand copper plates."
Hearing this, Qi Xuan was relieved.
The next day, Su Qi gave Qixuan a bag containing two thousand copper plates: "The boss said that the golden Buddha you gave is good in color, so the handling fee will be confiscated." Good quality is one aspect, on the other hand, the golden Buddha. The workmanship is also very good, such workmanship can not be seen in the county.
After getting the money, Qi Xuan followed other people to buy things. They only have half a day to purchase, and they have to rush back in the afternoon.
Fifteen catties of salt, two pieces of cloth plus needle and thread, and a total of 30 catties of corn stalks and beans and vegetable seeds. After buying these things, there was still 180 cents left, so he bought some straw paper, two catties of brown sugar, and a small can of lard.
Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing as he looked at Qi Xuan's painful expression holding the oil tank. Think about the Zhuangzi, which was worth more than ten thousand taels when he was in the capital. He sold it at half the price. Nowadays, it hurts fifty cents of gas money, which is really interesting to think about.
When I returned, the men in Aga Village each had a load of goods. The other five women are all carrying baskets, but the contents are no less than a hundred catties. Qixuan's things are the least among all people.
After buying so many things, walking slowed down. The people in Ajia Village are used to it, but Qi Xuan has carried so much weight for the first time. Fortunately, those women are not walking fast. Otherwise, it will definitely be left behind.
