Seeing the Jiang family members returning, Jiang Youcai led a few people to talk to them.

Other people in the village have no objection to the Jiang family’s return for the time being, as they will not have to eat their food after all.

Jiang Qingyi knew that there were advantages to traveling with the main force. At least if she encountered bandits or robbers, she would still be able to fight back. Otherwise, she could only wait to be robbed.

There are many people in Jiangjia Village, of all ages, so when they travel, they are not much different from the Jiang family.

Jiang Qingyi just felt a little regretful that she didn't go to the small pond to take a bath.

Just when she was secretly planning to go there quietly at night, the village chief (Jiang Youcai) directly told everyone to continue on their way.

Oh no! Jiang Qingyi's plan failed, and she could only look for another opportunity.

The people of Jiangjia Village walk on the main road, and each family walks together in a relatively concentrated manner.

The Jiang family had eaten well these two days, so they had an easier journey than others and did not fall behind.

It was getting late when they set out, and after the whole team had been walking for over an hour, the village chief asked someone to find an open space and asked everyone to stop.

It was not completely dark yet, and each family found a place to rest for the night.

Fires gradually started around.

Jiang Qingyi knew that the people in Jiangjia Village were planning to take their meat, so she said to Old Man Jiang, "Grandpa, go find the village chief and tell him that you are willing to sell your meat, so that they won't take it for free. If there is less meat, others will stop eyeing our family."

Jiang Dahai, who was standing beside him, immediately agreed, "Dad, this is also a solution."

Jiang Dahe also said, "Indeed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night guarding all this meat."

Jiang Dashan also nodded, "Xiaowu is right. At this time, everyone has little food, let alone meat. Maybe this meat is only in our family. The villagers should know about it, so they won't just focus on our family when they sell it."

Jiang Qingyi added, "I have hidden the rest of the meat. I will eat it secretly when I have time."

When Old Man Jiang saw that his sons all agreed, he nodded in agreement and immediately got up to talk to the village chief about the matter.

After Old Mrs. Jiang knew their decision, she took out two large pieces of meat and cooked them.

Eat more now. If you want to cook a meal alone in the future, you will have to face the eyes of the whole village. It is better not to do such a conspicuous thing to avoid being noticed.

Jiang Qingyi didn't have any spices for stewing meat, so the task of cooking the meat was left to Old Lady Jiang and the others to do as they pleased.

On the other side, Old Man Jiang found the village chief and said, "Village chief, I have something to say."

The village chief sat on a rock with a pipe in his hand to rest, "Brother Lao Gen, what's the matter?"

Old Man Jiang didn't hesitate and said, "We encountered a lone wild boar. My grandfather and I worked hard to kill it, and now we have some meat left.

I also know that everyone is having a hard time now, so we discussed and decided to sell the pork at the same price as before we left the village, 1 coins per catty. (In this article, it is set as follows: 10 tael of gold = 1 taels of silver, 10 tael of silver = 1000 coins of silver = coins of copper.)

Why don't you go talk to everyone and ask them to come find us if they're interested in buying it. It's still early so we can cook the meat."

After hearing what Old Man Jiang said, Jiang Youcai was very surprised. He had originally wanted to ask the Jiang family to divide the meat, but he didn't expect that Old Man Jiang would bring it up on his own initiative.

"Brother Lao Gen, are you serious?"

"Of course I can joke about this kind of thing. Besides, we need everyone to take care of each other along the way."

"Okay, you go back first, I'll go tell everyone."

As soon as Old Man Jiang left, the village chief asked his children to tell the villagers.

Soon, the villagers surrounded the Jiang family.

"Uncle, is it true that your family wants to sell wild boar meat?"

"That was a wild boar. How did you kill it? No one was injured, right?"

"Is it really ten cents a pound?"

"..."

In order to maintain order, the village chief brought a few young men to help.

The three Jiang Dashan brothers also stood around their cart holding torches to prevent anyone from snatching it away.

Old Man Jiang asked Jiang Dashan to hold the knife and cut the pork, while he stood by and collected the money.

The village chief called on everyone to start lining up.

There were about forty households in total, and almost every household had someone come.

The villagers are not very rich, but at this time they are willing to buy a few pounds of meat to improve their family's life.

After working for a while, the more than 50 kilograms of meat on the Jiang family's cart were almost sold out, leaving only a few pounds of fat and not much meat.

Every villager who came to buy meat took some back, and the village chief even bought several kilograms.

After seeing off the villagers who came to buy meat, Old Man Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The Jiang family earned a total of over a thousand copper coins, all of which were collected by Old Lady Jiang.

Soon, the aroma of meat wafted from other homes, and the children in every family were drooling in front of the fire.

"Hey, do you think Jiang Laogen is stupid? Wild boar meat costs ten cents a pound and you can't buy it anywhere now, but they actually sold it to us. Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Yes, I went to the town before leaving the village. At that time, rice and flour cost ten cents per pound, not to mention meat."

"Who cares if he's stupid or not? As long as we all get to eat the meat, that's fine."

"I saw Jiang Laogen collecting money nearby. He must have at least one or two taels of silver. How come it wasn't my family that killed the wild boar?"

"This meat is so delicious. I can't remember the last time I ate meat."

"..."

Jiang Qingyi curled the corners of her mouth as she listened to the conversation coming from nearby. She knew this situation would happen, so she asked Old Man Jiang to deal with all the meat that was on display.

Otherwise, not only will you be hated when you eat meat, but you will also easily be taken advantage of for free.

Now that everyone has meat to eat, they won’t focus on their own family anymore.

For dinner, Jiang Qingyi still changed to a bowl of lean meat. Although it was a bit fishy, ​​it also had the unique aroma of being smoked with firewood, and the taste was pretty good.

It has been more than 20 days since they fled from Jiangjia Village. They can walk about 20 kilometers a day. According to the previous plan, it will take them another two months to reach Fuyang County. Now it will take the same amount of time to change the route to the capital.

The advantage of following the large group is that Old Man Jiang and his men don’t have to take turns keeping watch at night, so everyone in the family can get a good night’s sleep.

Jiang Qingyi originally planned to take the opportunity to enter the space in the middle of the night, but there were villagers patrolling at night, so in order not to be discovered, she gave up the idea and planned to look for an opportunity later.

Lying on the straw mat, Jiang Qingyi's spirit body entered the space again.

One day passed outside, and five days had passed in the space field. The wheat seeds sown before had begun to sprout.

The pair of little chicks also lost their fur and looked a little ugly.

Today's Lingquan books were collected by Jiang Qingyi in a container.

She came out after patrolling the space. After all, she was not required to do anything.
