After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 675: Crazy New Year Gift [3]

"How many sheep does the clerk want to exchange?" asked Zhu the pig dealer.

The clerk said: "In exchange for fifty sheep, each weighing no less than eighty catties, and for live pigs weighing more than two hundred catties. I can take you to see the sheep."

Marquis Wenchang gave five carts of sheep to the four major villages. There were only ten sheep in each cart, but there were more than twenty villages in the four major villages, so each village could get two sheep.

It's really not enough to eat.

"Okay, I'll go check out the live sheep." Zhu the pig dealer said, and called behind him, "Old Nine, Little Two, Little Three, Little Four, come over here and guard the stall quickly. Old Seven, come with me to check out the live sheep!"

"Hey, here we come!" Zhu Laojiu and others hurried over and took over the stall from Zhu the Pig Fan.

"Uncle Qin, I'll leave first." Guan Shuli bowed to Grandpa Qin, and after Grandpa Qin nodded, he took Zhu the pig dealer and others to the backyard of Taifu Restaurant to see the live sheep.

The Taifu Restaurant is still sealed, but no evidence of any crime has been found, so it is considered innocent.

The government office allowed official staff to use the backyard of the restaurant as a temporary warehouse.

After the case is concluded, Taifu Restaurant will be auctioned off by the government for money.

Zhu the pig dealer looked at the fifty live sheep and was very satisfied. He promised: "I will find some big fat pigs for the clerk, so that the villagers in each village of Taifeng Town can eat a few more pounds of meat."

"Okay, thank you for your help." The clerk also signed a contract with Zhu the pig dealer to ensure that Zhu the pig dealer could find so many fat pigs in the first half month before the New Year.

He specifically signed a date later than the Qin family's so that Zhu the pig dealer could feel at ease finding a fat pig for the Qin family for the New Year.

Zhu the pig dealer signed the contract and happily returned to his stall on Xinda Street, intending to show off to the sheep dealer and then mock him a few times to consolidate their relationship.

But when he returned to the stall on Xinda Street, he found that all the sheep of the sheep dealer were gone. He was so shocked that he asked hurriedly: "Yangzi, were your sheep stolen? Or did you offend someone and they deliberately scared them away!"

"Old Nine, Little Two, Little Three, Little Four, you are dead men. Why don't you help Yangzi? Those are 15 live sheep, which is the profit of Yangzi's family for a whole year. Now it's all gone. Yangzi's family will lose everything!"

and also……

"Where are our pigs? We originally had six pigs, but they were also scared away?!"

The sheep dealer was very angry: "You stupid pig dealer, can't you expect something good from my family? Do you think you are the only one who is lucky? All the fifteen live sheep in my family have been bought by someone else, and they were bought by the master of the aristocratic Wen family!"

"Ah? Really?" asked Zhu the pig dealer, looking at the reliable Zhu Laojiu.

Zhu Laojiu nodded: "Yes, it was bought by the Wen family in the blink of an eye. The six pigs in our family were also bought by the Xue family. Our two families also received several orders from Xue Jiekang and several other families, and they all paid deposits."

"We have also received orders? You have accepted them all? How can we handle it? I'm afraid we may not have so many pigs!" Zhu the pig dealer was anxious.

Zhu Laojiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, second brother. These families didn't order many pigs, only about 20 pigs in total. Most of them were live sheep."

Rich families think pigs are dirty and look down on pork, so they mostly eat chickens and mutton. During festivals, they also eat good stuff such as cattle and deer.

The Wen family only bought sheep.

I heard that the sheep bought from outside are only used as gifts or for servants to eat during the New Year. The masters only eat the good sheep raised on their own farms.

"Here is the order, second brother, take a look."

Zhu the pig dealer took the order and laughed out loud: "We really made the right choice to come to Taifeng Town. We are going to make a fortune."

He added: "Hurry up and pack up and go back to find the source of goods. If we can't deliver the goods, we won't be able to have a good New Year."

The two teams of pig dealers and sheep dealers immediately cleaned their stalls and packed up their things. They thought that this stall was auspicious, so they ran to the Silifang to pay and booked the stall for an extra month. Only after they secured the location did they feel at ease and drove away.

Those who sold firewood, dried goods, and pickled winter vegetables also sold out their goods and received many orders.

The seller of firewood receives the most orders.

Don't look down on those who sell firewood. Firewood is an important resource. Every household needs firewood to boil water and cook. Many people also give firewood as gifts.

So the firewood stall owner has rented a car and rushed home to collect firewood and sell it at a high price.

Because Taifeng Town was able to sell goods, more and more people brought goods here to sell. In addition, merchants came here to transport color soup. The area from Taifeng Town's New Street to Xue's warehouse was as prosperous as a county town.

When that group of village heads arrived at Taifeng Town with New Year gifts, they were almost shocked by the prosperity of Taifeng Town.

"This is Taifeng Town? Is this the Taifeng Town that is so poor and powerless that it was filled with disaster victims?!"

A competent town would not allow disaster victims to settle down.

"Of course it's Taifeng Town. This is the New Street. The Old Street is over there at Silifang. You have to walk another quarter of an hour." Someone from the Lu Family patrol team came over and asked, "What are you all doing here? Why are there so many people here? Are you here to sell medicinal herbs? Then walk into the New Street. There is a sentry halfway down the street. You can go in with your household registration."

The momentum of buying medicinal herbs in large quantities has passed, but the Qin family is still buying them to facilitate those poor families who are delayed in getting information and are in urgent need of selling medicinal herbs for the New Year.

"Are you a descendant of the Lu family? We are looking for your village chief Lu, who is also your clan leader." The village chief who spoke straightened his back and said, "I am the village chief Zhang from Dongxu Town, and your clan leader is from our Zhangjiaji."

But Mrs. Lu’s surname was not Zhang, but the daughter of Fang from Zhangjiaji.

"Please wait a moment. I'll go and inform you." The patrolling Lu family member ran to find the patrol captain, Master Lu San, and told him, "Uncle San, someone has come from your grandparents' village. He calls himself Zhang the head of the village. He brought a large group of people and several carts of gifts. But I don't think it's a good thing."

The head of the village but with a different surname from the same village suddenly came looking for someone and brought a valuable gift with him. It was obvious that he was here to ask for favors.

Is it so easy to do something that requires expensive gifts to knock on the door?

"Boy, you're quite clever." Master Lu San praised him and said, "Go and calm them down. I'll go find my father."

"Hey." The patrol boy hurried back and calmed down the group of village heads.

Before returning home, Mr. Lu Sanye first found two members of the Lu family and asked them to go to the Silifang to notify the customs clerk.

Therefore, before Chief Lu arrived, the clerk Guan had already arrived. Looking at the twenty or so village heads, he felt that their flattery was not as good as his.

"You all have come from afar, please go to Silifang and have a seat first."

The heads of the villages look a little green in the face. Can we not go?

No.

The clerk at the gate asked Youyu to call General Hua over.

General Hua came over with ten soldiers, and the village heads were so scared that they hurried to the Silifang... Can't we just go with you!

General Hua followed with his soldiers.

After hearing their intention, Hua Zongqi said, "The Qin family doesn't like to owe favors to others, but we, the Northwest Army, are not afraid. We will accept this New Year gift. Thank you to all the village heads for sending gifts to comfort the soldiers."

"salute!"

Ten soldiers immediately stood up, drew their swords, and saluted: "Thank you, village heads, for your consideration of the soldiers!"

A group of village heads were scared to death. They didn't want to give them New Year gifts, but they were afraid that their knives would be merciless.

There was nothing he could do but force a smile and say, "The soldiers have helped us to suppress the bandits and spies, and their hard work and contributions are great. As the heads of this county, it is only right for us to give them some New Year gifts."
