Zhang Ertou narrowed his eyes and said, "You have some silver on you!"
Tu Yufan was not panicked when he heard this, his eyes were calm and he said, "Since Brother Zhang doesn't know, I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Ertou sighed, "Don't worry, I said the wrong thing just now. It's a bit far from here to the town, and we need a donkey cart from the village. Normally, they are not willing to give people like us a ride, but if you pay money to clear the way, it won't be difficult. Another way is that there is a peddler who comes here every month. If you have anything you want, pay a deposit and he can bring it over next month."
Tu Yufan thought about it for a while, and then turned around. Zhang Ertou heard that there was a chance, and said quickly: "The peddler should come three days this month."
Tu Yufan looked at him intently for a few times. The weather had been quite cold recently, and there might not be any prey to be found in the mountains. Zhang Ertou's stomach was rumbling, but he smiled unwillingly.
He had a deep feeling that this person wanted to tell him something, but he was a little hesitant. Anyway, there was a lot of time left, so Tu Yufan didn't say anything. He just took out a few cakes from his bag and threw them over.
"I never ask for favors from anyone. Tell me more about this village and I'll give you the rest of the cakes."
Zhang Ertou took the cake, his eyes lit up, and he started to eat with a grin. When he choked, he scooped up a bucket of well water and drank it.
After his stomach was full, he slowly started talking about the village.
There are only a few dozen people in Jinuo Village, and the village chief Liu Shuigui has the most say in the village. If you want to live a good life in the village, the best way is to get connections from Liu Shuigui.
"Liu Shuigui is not a bad person. After all, everyone loves money. The place where your family lives now is not only small, but also backs onto the mountain entrance. Wild animals might come down to look for food." He said stealthily, "Look at the big house on the other side of the river. No one lives in it. It originally belonged to Liu Shuigui's nephew, who later moved to the town and gave it to Liu Shuigui. The house is almost abandoned. You can talk to Liu Shuigui and pay some money to see if you can let your family live there."
Tu Yufan did not comment, but Zhang Ertou looked so wretched that he stepped back a few steps and threw the remaining cake into his arms, who caught it in a panic.
I went to Liu Shuigui's place, and as expected, I was turned away.
Tu Yufan did not insist on it any further. He couldn't just shout out that he was rich and cause trouble for nothing. He could only take his time to deal with it later.
When they came back, Liu Yutong had already cleaned the house with the women in the family. Although it was still tattered, it was tidy and clean, and there was no embarrassing feeling of breathing in dust every time.
Three days later, Tu Yufan met the peddler again. He bought all the food and ordered some farming tools, beddings and other daily necessities. Because the quantity was too large, the peddler was willing to deliver it in a few days.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
Liu Yutong watched Tu Yufan hammering on the wood.
Tu Yufan said: "We are going to reclaim the wasteland tomorrow and make some farm tools, which will save us some effort."
In the previous world, when I remodeled the house, I also did some carpentry work, and I was able to make basically simple farm tools.
Liu Yutong was about to say how could the son of the Duke of Yan be a craftsman, but then he remembered that his family had fallen into poverty, and surviving was the most important thing.
Her eyes were slightly red, but she didn't object. She just smiled reluctantly: "Then I'll help my husband clean up. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Tu Yufan smiled but said nothing, and the two of them did it in silence.
Yueyao's body has recovered more than half. In the plot, Mo Jinrui will die of a high fever. Ruoyu is running around in a hurry.
When reclaiming wasteland, Tu Yufan used the curved plow he had made the day before, and borrowed some cows for a few copper coins, which greatly improved efficiency.
