What else did the daughter-in-law of village head Zhou have to say? Village head Zhou coughed heavily. She was so scared that she shook her body. When she got to her mouth, she quickly swallowed it.

The last time she was beaten by village head Zhou, her memory is still fresh. She did not dare to touch his mold at this time again. She was unwilling to do so. She murmured in a low voice, "five Wen a Jin is too cheap, at least eight cents."

"That's eight Wen a Jin."

Zhou Village head's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up, a shoulder bumped Zhou Village head to one side, good words don't want money to venture out, "I know Xia Niang Zi Bodhisattva's heart, poor us, you wait, don't I two thousand jin, is twenty thousand jin I also help you get."

Words fall, lift a foot to want to run out, was dragged back by Zhou Village head, "you give me honest stay."

The daughter-in-law of village head Zhou immediately forgot what she had been beaten, and whether she ate or beaten.

The pungent energy came up and knocked out the hand of village head Zhou. "Don't worry about me. It's a good thing. I have to tell the villagers right away."

Words fall, then bypass Xia Xi, run away.

"You..."

Zhou Village elder's face is red. If Xia Xi is not present, he has to catch up with her and beat her.

Accompany to smile, "summer Niang son, you don't mind, she is this temper, stormy, but not bad hearted."

"I know."

Xia Li, with a smile on her face, made village head Zhou unable to understand her mind. "You first tell the villagers that I'll bring the silver tomorrow, and then tell you what kind of money to collect and what kind of corncob to make."

"Good, good, good."

In response to the sound, village head Zhou bowed and sent her out of the yard. He watched her go away in a carriage with the door open, striding toward the direction of her daughter-in-law's disappearance.

The next morning, Xia Xi came. Village head Zhou had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. He saw the carriage coming far away and trotting forward.

When Xia Xi heard the driver's report, she opened the car curtain and wanted to get out of the carriage, but he stopped her. "I found an open space and wanted to put all the corncobs there. I'm afraid you don't know the location, so I specially came to lead you there."

"Then sit up. Let's hurry up."

"Ah."

In response, village head Zhou got on the carriage and led her to a large open space at the west end of the village. It was not too far away from his home. You could see it from his courtyard.

The open space was full of people, some carrying bags, some carrying baskets, some pushing carts. They were all corncobs. They all looked at Xia Xi with excitement and expectation.

There is a table in the middle of the open space with pen and paper on it. It should be used by the village head to keep accounts.

Xia Xi went over and motioned to the person standing at the front to put down the corncobs in the basket. She picked up a few from the basket and put them on the table one by one. "Only the corncobs that are completely dry and not moldy are collected. Don't take anything else. Eight Wen for a Jin. I'll settle the bill immediately."

"This is my line."

"This one at home is OK."

As they spoke, they pushed forward, fearing that their family couldn't sell them. They were scolded by village head Zhou, "all stand back and line up. No one will want to sell them if they are so noisy!"

Everyone quickly stepped back and lined up. The man in front just now took back some corncobs on the table and put them back in his basket.

The head of Zhou Village pulled down his face and glared at the man. The man quickly put it back and laughed at him. Eight Wen a Jin, these also have several Liang, also can sell a money, he is distressed.

After that, Xia Xi gave the prepared copper plate to village head Zhou. Listening to the clattering sound, the villagers' eyes were red, and they all looked at the village head. As long as he said take it, they immediately sold everything in their hands.

"Mr. Zhou, when the corncobs are finished, you can have them broken."

With these words, Xia Xi picked up the corncobs on the table and said, "please find me a stick."

The stick came quickly. Xia Xi put the corncob on the table and went down with a few sticks. The corncob was broken into small pieces. Xia Xi picked up some of them and showed them to village head Zhou. "You want to make people fight like this. It's faster. I'll wait to use them."

The head of Zhou Village answered and held the corn tightly in his hand.

"Take it. I'll go to Weijia village. If I can't get through, you can go to village head Wei and ask him to take a message for me."

Village head Zhou said that Xia Xi came out of the crowd and got into the carriage. Before the carriage turned around, the villagers urged him to come back, "village head, you should take it quickly. After taking it, I still have it. I'll go back and get it all."

……

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Weijia village, it was slower.

Xia Xi thinks something's wrong. When she lifts the car curtain, she sees Zhang Gen driving the cart in front of her. The cart is full of cloth bags. The row is very high. It looks like it's four or five hundred jin.

Zhang Gen also noticed the carriage behind him. He quickly whipped the ox cart to go faster, but the ox was the speed. No matter how fast it was, it couldn't run as fast as the horse. His face was sweating.

"Stop first."

Xia Xi orders the coachman to stop the carriage. When Zhang Gen's ox cart is far away and the roadside is spacious, Xia Xi takes a look at it.

Zhang Gen is also looking at her. He looks at her in a frightened way and lowers his head.

Xia Xi took back her eyes, and when she got out of the carriage, she saw a lot of carriages stopped in front of the workshop. Wei Qian and the village head were not there. She obviously went to the workshop.

Seeing her coming, people familiar with her in the village said hello to her one after another.

Xia Xi nodded one by one, and was about to go to the workshop. Boss Huo's laughter came out from it. "Village head, this year I don't have to worry about selling vermicelli. I'm going to have a big sale and make a lot of money."

"You're talking like you didn't make any money last year."

Xia Xi enters the door and talks with a smile.

"Lady Xia."

Huo boss happy to meet forward, arched, "I came back to the village head last time, said, has not seen you."

"My sister got married a few days ago. I need to be in charge of it. I don't have time to come here. Boss Huo has been waiting for a long time."

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Huo boss is not circuitous, straight to the point, "Xia Niang Zi, I'm still the old request, this year you don't sell the vermicelli to others, I'll take it all, how many want."

Xia Xi laughs, "we are still the old rule. My friends in Beijing have to ask for some, and the rest is for you."

"All right."

Huo's boss is ready to answer. They talk for a while, and the boy reports, "master, the car has been installed. It's time for us to go."

Xia Xi sends him out. Boss Huo goes to his carriage. Zhang Gen looks up with hatred in his eyes.
