Chapter 180 The coal-selling army is ready to set off
At the main intersection, Wu Mu and his companions approached carrying loads of charcoal.
Wu Shan, Niu Zhanghe and others who followed along saw that Wen Wuyan had picked out some dishes, and couldn't help but ask some more questions.
When he learned that the food was to be delivered to the Shen residence, he not only delivered the vegetables but also bought a basket of charcoal from the village and sent it to the Shen residence.
Wu Shan stepped forward and patted Wen Wuyan on the shoulder, praising him with a smile, "You and Qingqing value friendship, and we in Niutoushan Village cannot do a bad job. I'll make the decision on this matter. You can send the basket of charcoal to the Shen Mansion in their name, and you don't have to pay the village. This can be regarded as the village's way of thanking them for their efforts. After all, if they hadn't helped that day, who knows how many days it would take for the county to issue the documents to us."
Wen Wuyan heard this repeatedly, "Uncle Wu, this is not possible. This basket must weigh at least 40 kilograms, and it will cost at least a few hundred coins to sell in town. Charcoal is the village's industry, and the Shen family is the one that Qingqing and I have made friends with. How can I use the village's hard work for our own benefit?"
"Why, the hundreds of coins in the village are money, but your hundreds of coins are not money?" Wu Shan was happy and pretended to glare at him after hearing his words.
Seeing that Wen Wuyan was about to say something, Wu Shan didn't give him a chance.
"Alright, alright, when we get busy with business, who will care about a basket of things? Don't worry about it. Just do as I say."
After Wu Shan finished speaking, he turned his head and stretched his neck to start looking for someone. He looked at Li Yu behind the group and waved at him, "Li Yu, aren't you responsible for the account? This account will be recorded in the village, and it can't be considered Wu Yan bought it."
Li Yu had a smile on his face and quickly responded, "Don't worry, Village Chief."
Wen Wuyan looked at Gu Qingqing helplessly, and Gu Qingqing looked back at him, "Wuyan, just listen to Uncle Wu. Just like Uncle Wu said, this won't be a big deal if your livelihood improves in the future."
"That's right, Brother Wuyan, we are not the kind of people who are superficial."
"People have helped us, so it is only right for us to give them some charcoal."
Several people who were traveling with us also spoke up.
"Okay, then I'll take everyone's thoughts to them." Seeing that everyone was happy, Wen Wuyan no longer insisted and responded with a smile.
"Okay, it's getting late, you guys should hurry back. If it snows too heavily in the afternoon and it's hard to travel, you can just stay in the town for one night. You can use the money from selling charcoal or use the charcoal as collateral." Wu Shan instructed them.
"Dad, I get it. Don't worry, we will definitely sell out the charcoal as soon as possible and come back earlier." Wu Mu continued.
As everyone prepared to leave, Niu Yuzhu, who was supposed to be the replacement, walked up to Wen Wuyan and took the burden from him, "Brother Wuyan, your leg just healed a short time ago, so I'll take this."
"Okay, you carry it for a while, and I'll take it later." Wen Wuyan didn't refuse much like Niu Yuzhu.
"Be careful on the road, it's slippery due to snow." Gu Qingqing reminded them.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We have walked the road to town many times. We can get there even with our eyes closed." Niu Yuzhu said happily.
Niu Zhanghe also laughed and scolded him, "Okay, you're the only one who talks too much. Go now."
A group of six people went to the town with the hopes of the whole village, and the rest of the people looked at their backs getting farther and farther away and began to look forward to it.
After they walked away, Gu Qingqing said to Wu Shan, "Uncle Wu, you've been busy all morning, go back and have a rest. I'll go over there and take a look."
"Well, it's almost noon. I'll go back and have something to eat. I'll be there later." After saying that, Wu Shan went back to the village with Niu Zhanghe and others.
"Qingqing, I'll go with you." Geng Chunhua, who was seeing Gu Qingqing off, saw that Gu Qingqing was going that way and invited her to go with her.
Gu Qingqing looked at the machete on her waist, glanced at the village chief who was walking away, and then asked in a low voice, "Sister Geng, what are you doing with the machete? Didn't Brother Li go to the town to do the official business?"
The villagers had agreed that each family could provide one person, and since the village chief asked Li Yu to join the team and give it a try, Geng Chunhua didn't have to work there.
Gu Qingqing looked at her and didn't think she was just going for a stroll, so she asked.
Geng Chunhua walked forward and said, "Look at how thin your brother Li is. The village chief is also looking after our family. I have nothing to do at home now, so I will go over and help as much as I can."
Gu Qingqing didn't know what to say, she just joked, "You are the one who can't sit still."
After Gu Qingqing arrived, she watched them load the kiln according to what she had said last time, and she stamped her cold feet from time to time.
When the kiln was finally installed, it started snowing heavily again.
Gu Qingqing looked at the firewood on the ground and estimated that it was only enough to fill two caves, but they had three caves.
It’s not difficult to go up the mountain to chop firewood when the weather is good, but on a snowy day like this, is it difficult to go up the mountain?
She went to find Wu Shan who had already arrived and told him the situation.
"Don't worry about this. I'll find some veterans in the village. As long as someone buys our charcoal, all this won't be a problem."
"Uncle Wu, it's snowing and we can't see the situation on the mountain clearly. Will it be dangerous?"
"Hahaha, do you remember what Yuzhu just said? He can find his way to the town with his eyes closed. As long as we villagers don't go deep into the mountains, we can walk around in the mountains with our eyes closed. We have lived here for generations, and we are all very familiar with it."
After Wu Shan finished speaking, he looked at Gu Qingqing, who was wrapped in a scarf and wearing a thick cotton coat. Her body was covered with a layer of snow, and she looked timid.
He said to her with a smile, "Go back. There is nothing for you to do here. Lao Niu and I will watch the cigarettes and we will take care of the rest. Go back and warm up."
Gu Qingqing was not polite either. It was cold, and the cold wind in the wilderness was like a knife, hitting her face from time to time, trying to kill without bleeding.
"Okay, then I'll go back first. If there's anything, please send someone to call me at home." Gu Qingqing gave instructions to the people here again, then ran back with her neck shrunk.
On the way, she had already decided to lie down on the kang for the whole day, eating melon seeds... Forget about the melon seeds, because there were none at home.
If you have peanuts, put them next to the stove and roast them. They will become fragrant in a short while.
There are still some chestnuts at home, which my mother brought to us. We don’t eat them much on weekdays, but we can roast them.
If she wants some fruit, well, there is no fruit at home, a carrot is fine...Huh? Why doesn't she have any fruit? Before, Gu Zhuangzhuang brought half a basket of hawthorns to eat meat at home.
After making a few strings of candied haws for Shen Chenan and Dahua that day, she made the rest into canned hawthorns.
"Hehe, this is just fruit. It's so comfortable to hide in a warm room with the child and eat it on such a cold day. It's a pity that the child's father is not here." Gu Qingqing said to herself happily.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Her brisk walk turned into a trot and she swallowed her saliva so many times that she didn't know how many times.
She happily arrived at the door of her house and heard Dahua scolding the dog, "Dahei, do you want to be beaten again?"
