The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family Chapter 188

   "Okay!" Yan Lao Er readily agreed, and said again: "Why are you walking so slowly ahead?"

"I heard that some of the victims in Gufeng got the disease, and we in Yongning have also taken precautions. No, we have to check when we enter the city. Our locals are fine, and the outsiders, especially those from Dagufeng, have to be checked. strict."

  Yan Lao said in his heart: I can see clearly, the household registration is being checked, but the question has not been issued yet, even if it is done, Huju's household registration may not be easy to enter Yongning City.

  There is also a problem of guides here. Without guides, you can't run around casually. It is the privilege of scholars to go wherever they want.

   This thing is usually not very strict when entering the city, but it is very bad at this time.

   Plague!

  The victims at Gufeng had an epidemic?

  Is there any problem with the group of victims who just came to Huju?

  Yan's second son was a little worried about Lao Yan.

   Thinking about waiting for the replanting work to finish, I have to go to Huju City to take a look.

   Right now, the matter of entering the city still needs to be resolved, he can't come all the time.

   "Master, I came out in a hurry, I didn't listen to the letter before, and I didn't prepare anything, look..."

  The old man glanced around and said in a low voice: "It's okay, the three of us are always here, and we know the faces of the gatekeepers. I will answer later, please move aside, and let my Dachun sit in front of you."

   "Hey!" Yan Lao Er politely called the man named Dachun to come and sit down.

  The kid in his family was also greeted by him and got into the car.

   An ox cart was originally empty, but now it is full of people and things.

   This is the normal state of country people going to the city. He was too conspicuous like before.

   Seeing that the gate of the city was getting closer and closer, Yan Er Er looked at the movements of those counting money, calculating in his heart.

   Counted out ten copper coins and secretly handed them to the old man.

  The old man took the money as fast as lightning.

The person in front hadn't passed, so he jumped out of the cart nimbly, and with a smile on his face, he spoke a few hard-working and warm words to the officials guarding the city gate, pointed to the bullock cart, and then handed the copper plate to one of them .

  The man weighed it, nodded, and said something to the people around him. When it was Yan Laoer's turn, the ox cart didn't even have to stop, and let it go.

When the old man trotted a few steps and jumped into the car again, Yan Lao Er sincerely praised: "Old man, you are so face-saving! You can talk to the official, you are amazing! I am too timid, so I will go up, I am afraid It's about stuttering, and making the official unhappy."

The old man chuckled and said, "Then you need to practice more. You are not young anymore, you have children. If you bring them into the city in the future, if you still can't hide your face, then the children will follow suit and grow up. Don't be in a daze."

   "You are always right. My brother used to take me with me. Recently, he went out on business. My eyes are darkened. Thanks to you today, otherwise I would have to make a trip for nothing."

The old man said again: "The seedling you asked about, I remembered that when we were working part-time in a big family, we seemed to hear something, saying that there were new saplings on the village, you can go and inquire about it, alas , but is it not the right time for you? Why are you moving the saplings at this time?"

Yan Lao Er laughed and said: "Isn't this just a house at home? The old man in the village said that it would be best to plant a few trees for Wangwang's house. I thought that since I want to plant, it is better to plant fruit trees, so that they can bear fruit for the children in the future. Quench your hunger."

  The old man agreed deeply, nodded and said: "That's true, the old people in your village have insight."

   When it came time to part, the two had already talked very warmly. The old man stuffed him with five copper coins, saying that they often search for work in the south of the city, so just look for them when they are free.

  Yan Laoer found the big family according to the old man's instructions.

  He circled around the house first, but didn't dare to knock on the front door.

   ran to the back door and squatted for a long time before an old lady came out with a basket on her shoulders.

  He was overjoyed and followed all the way.

   It wasn't until the aunt went to the butcher stall to buy meat that she didn't talk to her.

   "Ma'am, do you want wild boar, wild rabbit and pheasant?" Yan Laoer asked in a low voice.

  This aunt is also a wonderful person. She paid for the meat with a normal face, turned around and gave him a look. The two of them seemed to be meeting in secret, away from the meat stall, and turned a corner before standing still at the same time.

  The aunt was not polite when she opened her mouth: "Tell me about you. You were so scared in front of other people's meat stalls. When the king butcher heard it, he beat you to the ground!"

  Yan Laoer said repeatedly: "Yes, I am too anxious."

  Auntie looked at the bullock cart he was pulling, and was puzzled: "Are you Orion?"

   "My family's main business is burning charcoal. I occasionally go hunting in the mountains. I don't specialize in this. I finally hunted wild animals and want to sell them for some money. I don't want the price from the restaurant to be so low, so I... come to you to try my luck."

   "Your house still burns charcoal?" The aunt asked casually, "How much is a hundred catties?"

   "Three cents per hundred catties."

  Auntie looked at him in surprise, and asked again: "Three cents per hundred catties?"

  Yan Lao Er really smiled and said: "Yes, you heard it right, it is three yuan, and it is more expensive in winter, but this season, it is only this price."

   "Does your family want wild animals? I heard from your family's part-time workers that you often buy meat at home, and the host family is kind and kind, and the wages are also cheap, so I came here to ask..."

  Auntie let out a sigh: "No wonder, I said you asked such a coincidence, it turned out that someone gave advice."

  She looked up and down carefully again, and said, "All right, come with me."

  Yan Laoer asked cleverly: "Auntie, what else do you want to buy? Get in the car, and I will take you there."

  Auntie is very helpful, she has a smile on her face.

   got into the bullock cart and directed him to go back.

   "I'm almost done shopping. Let's go back. I won't sit in your car for nothing. Let's not talk about wild things. My aunt will take care of your charcoal business first."

  Yan's second child went out of the city and went straight to Zhuangzi pointed out by the aunt.

   giggling all the way.

   I didn't expect such an unexpected joy to inquire about the saplings.

   Not only ordered a thousand catties of charcoal, but also found a home for the missing wild animal.

  In fact, he just wanted to be a little devious at the beginning, first by selling wild animals to make friends, instead of asking directly when he came up.

  People are different from person to person. Some people will tell you enthusiastically if you ask, and some people will think nothing of themselves.

   But when the aunt asked him if he was Orion, he didn't think much of it, so he subconsciously seized the opportunity and threw the charcoal out.

  As for the latter...Well, master the instinct of a small businessman, don't show interest in a certain product, or you will have to think about selling it...

  Continuously selling wild things, this is Yan Laoer's sophistication, and he looks naive again, pointing out someone to introduce.

   Otherwise, he is a stranger, how could he get acquainted with people so quickly.

  Of course, the bullock cart is definitely a bonus item.

  He didn't miss the look in the eyes of the aunt. If he spoke up alone, it might not go so smoothly.
