Chapter 148

: Wealth and honor are in danger

Author: Fish and Fish Sauce

: Wealth and honor are in danger

Three or four hours later, about noon, it was more than 100 kilometers away from Huating County.

Along the way, Xia Huai and others encountered many refugees. They described themselves as embarrassed and looked anxious, but their steps never stopped.

Some people fell down as they walked, and the people who were walking with them, whether they were relatives, villagers or strange companions, did not give extra gazes to the fallen people, and still walked forward like a walking corpse.

Those pairs of shoes that had already left and those mottled and scarred feet never stopped.

If they could speak, Xia Huai thought, then the world would be noisy. They were filled with sounds such as "going forward", "do not stop", and "stop will die".

But she couldn't do anything, she could only be a cruel and indifferent spectator in the world.

While they were paying attention to refugees, refugees were also silently watching Xia Dashan and others.

They were so curious that they only saw someone walking forward along the way, but never walked backwards. When they felt suspicious of Xia Dashan and others' walking, they actually had a little more of a living atmosphere.

"Look, these are a group of fools. Everyone is heading towards Huating County. What are they going back?"

"No matter what they do, it's a waste of time! People have cars and horses, do you have one?"

"Can something go wrong in Huating County? Will it be impossible to let it go?"

"Bao, if you can't speak, just shut your stinky mouth!"

While everyone was discussing, Xia Huai and others finally stopped.

"Dad, just be here, there is a forest that can block the sun." Xia Huai jumped out of the mule cart and began to direct Zhang Damu and the others to unload the goods.

The choice of this place is not very good. Logically speaking, walking one or two hundred kilometers further back will be crowded, but Xia Huai has her considerations.

Although there are Wuying, Zheng Daqiao and others, there are too many people, and they cannot resist it. Most of those who can get to this place have some food and money, and they also have some reliance. Moreover, the farther away from Huating County, the more people there are, there are not many people who really get to the forefront.

Based on various reasons, Xia Huai decided to set up a stall here.

Put down the table, chairs, benches, pots, pans, spoons, ingredients and water, Zhou Huiniang rolled up her sleeves to prepare a fire to make a pancake.

The noodles were delivered one night in advance, just use them directly at this time.

The water was filled with more than ten barrels of wooden barrels. Although there was a slight loss on the road, it was not lost too much due to the cover.

Moreover, these waters were purchased at a low price. As for the wooden barrels, they were borrowed from house to house in the village. Selling water is basically a one-time transaction, so there is no need to buy wooden barrels.

It is not necessary to rent a wooden barrel to give money to the villagers, so you can just give some food to the villagers.

Of course, even if the loss is a little too much, Xia Huai can still secretly make up for the shortcomings.

The charcoal used was borrowed from Village Chief Lin before. It should be enough today. I have to buy some tomorrow. By the way, Xia Huai has to start making some charcoal by himself.

The main reason is that charcoal is too expensive, and I buy it every time, and it will not make up for this loophole if I earn it!

Just in case, Xia Huai only prepared water and sesame cakes this time.

The braised pork and stir-frying are so delicious that she is afraid that these refugees will become crazy and will not be human. Of course, she can find a few people to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, but unless it is necessary, she doesn't want to get blood on her hands.

Let’s first look at what these refugees are like.

When the refugees saw Zhou Huiniang start kneading dough and making pancakes, they were all stunned.

"Am I dazzled, what are those people doing?"

"Make a sesame cake?"

"Are you crazy? Do you do business in this place? Are they tired of living?"

"They are tired of living? I think you'd better take care of your life! Seeing the group of people behind them? They all held big knives and looked like they were chopping people at any time. They didn't have the confidence to come and do business?"

"I think these people are not easy to mess with when wealth is in danger!"

"That's right, but who has the money to buy food?"

As soon as he said this, a group of people walked to the stall carelessly and shouted in a rough voice: "What are you selling?"

Zhou Huiniang's heart thrust and her heart thumped, but when she thought of her daughter being next to her, she immediately calmed down a little, raised her head and greeted the other party enthusiastically: "How many, do I have sesame cakes and water, can I buy it?"

Those people didn't look like good people, but unexpectedly didn't say anything choked and asked directly: "How did you sell it?"

Zhou Huiniang was secretly happy, but said lightly: "Water costs three cents per bowl, and sesame cakes cost five cents per. If you sell sesame cakes, can you buy it?"

One of the men, who was led by those men, had a flash of eyes when he heard this, and said in a rough voice: "A bowl of water for three cents, are you crazy? It's so expensive, who can buy it!"

Zhou Huiniang seemed to have expected such a thing, and said with a smile: "How can three cents be considered expensive? The water in Huating County has doubled several times. It's hard for us to transport it from afar. Three cents are really not expensive! Besides, if you buy sesame cakes, it's equivalent to buying a sesame cake to give you a bowl of water, which means you'll get three cents for nothing, which is so cost-effective!"

The man was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that Zhou Huiniang was not only not panicked, but also explained with reasonable grounds. He even felt that he would lose money if he didn't buy it.

"Well, then, let's have ten sesame cakes."

After saying that, he seemed to be afraid of Zhou Huiniang saying something, and snatched the words like a burning butt: "You said you would give me a bowl of water to buy sesame cakes. We will buy ten, and you have to give me ten bowls!"

Zhou Huiniang nodded quickly and pointed to the empty table next to her: "Shaobian will take a while, you can sit down and rest first!"

"Xiao Zhu, collect money!"

Xia Wei quickly put down the book and carefully pulled the abacus: "Ten sesame cakes, ten bowls of water, a total of 50 texts."

This abacus was done by Xia Dashan before in business, and it has been strong after using it for many years.

The man was not damnable, and just said, "Take up five bowls of water first, let's put the rest." After that, he took out a string of money from his purse and threw it to Xia Wei.

Xia Huai originally wanted to be a waiter, but Wuying stopped her.

He filled five bowls of water with a cold face, then stood there motionless, and suddenly threw a bowl of water at the table.

The men just sat down, and one of them happened to look at Wuying, and he was immediately frightened and looked dirty: "Big, big brother, small"

The man in the lead said impatiently: "No matter how big or small, you can't even stop your stuttering mouth even if you sit down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bowl of water passed through the head man like a graceful arc and finally landed on his left hand.

What's outrageous is that no drop of water spilled out.

"."

Without waiting for the man in charge to speak, Wuying quickly passed the remaining four bowls to several people in turn. Without exception, each bowl of water was on each person's left hand.

"."

Wuying ignored the five stunned people and turned to Xia Huai and smiled: "Miss Xia, go and rest, I'm here."

Xia Huai: ".Okay." When it comes to pretending, I am really not as good as you, a person with high martial arts skills!

When will she have this trick? For nothing else, I just want to feel the admiration of others!
