Chapter 127 Zheng County has become a place more anticipated than Jincheng!

When Wang Fugui and Zhang Heshun were in a state of panic, they heard waves of cheers coming from the opposite side.

If it weren't for the obvious joy in the cheers, they would have thought that Boss Zhao was dead.

Zhang Heshun speculated: "What good news could there be? Could it be that Boss Zhao is getting better?"

It’s fine if the Zhao family is happy, but are other families worth being so happy? They are not their family.

hypocritical.

Sun Xiaomai frowned. "Last night, I was expecting some noise from the other side. In the past, didn't people with fever usually get worse at night? But I didn't hear any big noise from the other side all night."

"Is it really a longevity vegetable? Let's let the villagers eat more of it and eat it every day!" Wang Fugui said happily as if he had discovered a great treasure.

Zhou Chuncao glanced at the people from Shili Village and said disdainfully, "Do we even need to yell at them? Look at them, what else do they eat besides wild vegetables?"

I originally thought that Qili Village was already very bad, but after coming to Shili Village, I found out that there are even worse ones.

In Qili Village, the Jiang family eats dry food three times a day, while other families eat liquid food in the morning and evening, but at least corn flour is added to it.

In Shili Village, only a few families can eat wild vegetable porridge with corn flour in the morning and evening, while other families can only cook wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

Several households in Qili Village have large livestock, including Shen Qing and the village chief, who have several. However, Shili Village does not have a single large livestock, and is as poor as the previous Qili Village!

The lack of large animals is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that they don’t even have enough carts.

Yes, other families in Qili Village have at least two or three carts carrying food and belongings, which are all hopes!

Every household in Shili Village lacked a cart, relying instead on baskets and backpacks. But how could a cart hold these two things? With so little food, it was no wonder they were reluctant to add corn flour to their morning and evening vegetable dishes!

"In Qili Village, our two families were the worst off, but we never expected that after coming to Shili Village, we would be the best!"

"That's right. How can they walk with what they eat?"

"Why bother with them! We don't have to stay up all night, we're just walking. If we can't carry it, we can just throw it away. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

"That's right, our own good life is more important than anything else."

Wang Fugui felt a little worried while listening to the women chatting. Then he thought that as long as he could reach Jincheng first, he would be the most powerful. As for the casualties on the way, it would be fine. How could there be no deaths on the road to escape famine?

Maybe in the final analysis, more people died on Jiang Yang's side than on his side!

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and ordered, "Let's go! We don't know how many days it will take for the other side to leave. The sooner we leave, the faster we'll arrive. If we grab the good farmland, they'll cry!"

Hearing the news, the people of Shili Village seemed to be energized and stood up to respond: "Okay, let's go!"

When passing by Qili Village, people from Shili Village kept looking over there.

I saw that they had not packed their things at all. They were still in good spirits, but were running around for no one knew what they were doing... Every day they stayed meant a day's more food wasted. I was afraid that they were all as anxious as headless flies, running around in all directions.

The Liu family looked at the Zhou family with particular attention. Seeing that most of their men had taken out their fishing nets, they curled their lips in disdain, thinking that fishing could only solve part of the food supply problem. If they wanted to save food, they had to set out early.

However, the Zhou family members started fishing, which meant that they were waiting impatiently and could only rely on fishing to supplement their food supply. Alas... it was too late to regret.

The Zhou family originally thought that the villagers of Shili Village would be angry, upset, and in pain when they saw them, but they didn't expect that they had no time or energy to watch!

Now all they think about is fishing, drying fish and exchanging them for food!

Oh my God, the dried small white fish that I originally didn’t like to eat can be exchanged for two kilograms of refined grains for one kilogram. That is refined grain. On weekdays, only sick people can afford to cook some and eat it alone. Even during festivals, they can’t eat it freely and can only make some with other foods.

Now that we can exchange it for dried fish, who wouldn’t want to?

Unfortunately, it rained for several days after the flood. They didn't have much oilcloth at home, so they could only cover the food with it. The dried fish had come into contact with water and its quality was poor. Shen Qing said that he couldn't replace it.

But it’s okay, they also know how to fish, and they bring their fishing gear with them, which can be dried in two or three days in hot weather.

The more you catch, the more food you can exchange for!

The Zhou family was very busy, and so was Shen Qing.

She was going from store to store, checking the quality of the dried fish - the mall would mark it for her.

They kept the ones the mall didn't want and packed up the qualified ones, waiting to give them to her when they passed by Zheng County.

Shen Qing took the opportunity to greet each family: She also wanted small wild fish and river shrimps, as her family loved to eat them, and she would exchange them for food.

The others were unwilling to ask for food, and just said that they would send all the food to her if they had it.

Shen Qing accepted all the food that came to her. She had made up her mind to keep a small portion of the food in batter and fry it, then give one to each household and sell the rest to the mall.

Making your own only requires a little batter and oil, but these two things can bring the greatest profit!

Every household in the village has something to do and everyone is full of energy.

The men took their fishing nets to the rivers and ponds to fish, while the women processed the fish that were brought back - scraping off the scales, removing the gills and internal organs, washing them and drying them.

Summer is the best time to dry vegetables and fish.

On the evening of the third day, Boss Zhao finally stopped having a fever and his appetite improved a lot. The Zhao family members cried with joy.

On the morning of the fourth day, Carpenter Guan, with the help of several men, finished making the cart in advance.

Zhao Hu found Master Jiang and said, "Village Chief, my father said he's much better and can easily fit on the cart. When should we leave?"

The Zhao family has delayed everyone for so many days. Even though they have something to do with Shen Qing's help, the whole village has been out in the past few days, and the nearby rivers and ponds have been almost drained. Staying any longer will only consume more food rations for the whole village.

Mr. Jiang thought that the fish were almost dried, so it wouldn't affect their departure. "Let's do it this afternoon. If we travel quickly, we can reach Zheng County by tomorrow evening."

When Zhao Hu asked when they would set off, everyone around pricked up their ears to listen.

When we heard we were leaving in the afternoon, we cheered!

It’s too late to catch the fish today, but the dried fish from the previous two days are still on the cart to dry in the sun, so it should be in time by tomorrow evening - it doesn’t matter if it’s too late, we can wait for the next city, and the dried fish will not run away!

In the afternoon, Zhao Lao Da and Jiang Datou were lying on the newly made cart. The two families were considerate enough to erect wooden sticks at the four corners of the cart and cover them with a piece of oilcloth to block the sun.

The people pulling the cart were the Feng family - Mr. Jiang Erye and the Zhao family, who were hired with grain.

The Feng family is good at martial arts and has good physical strength, but they are not good at farming or working in the water. They can only watch others catch fish for food.

These days, each family has been taken care of by the Feng family. They are not ungrateful. They catch fish in exchange for food, so of course the Feng family's labor can also be exchanged for food!

Therefore, now no one in the village asks the Feng family for help for free, they all exchange it for food.

Zheng County has become a place more anticipated than Jincheng!
