Chapter 372 Village Fair

Chapter 372 Country Market

There were people running all the way to the canteen on the road.

Some people also came out of the canteen with happy faces.

"What's for breakfast?" someone asked coming out of the cafeteria.

The people who had eaten breakfast said excitedly: "Go quickly, it's porridge made with soy milk and side dishes with salt. It's very delicious."

"Go quickly!"

"The food this morning is also very good."

Several people who went to the canteen together said with joy on their faces.

Fu Manman and Qiaoer were dressed low-key, and no one recognized them along the way.

"Miss, we still have soy milk and cakes!" Qiaoer whispered.

This must be a separate meal for them.

When he arrived at the canteen, Fu Manman looked at the queue. They were all lined up at the door. There were so many people.

Looking inside the cafeteria, the tables were all full. Although everyone was wearing tattered clothes, their weathered faces showed happy and contented smiles.

There are old people, children, young women, and young and strong teenagers here, all of them are smiling so happily and eating so contentedly.

Fu Manman's eyes couldn't help but moisten after looking at it.

She finally let everyone have a full meal.

"Miss, I'm happy for everyone when I see everyone eating so happily," Qiaoer said, wiping her tears.

"Well, everyone will wear new clothes in the future." Fu Manman patted Qiaoer's shoulder and led her out of the cafeteria.

After breakfast, everyone went to the back mountain to clear up wasteland and strengthen the city wall.

No one is idle.

Fu Manman found a few people who were familiar with the situation at the bottom of the mountain, took Sun Xin, Qiao'er, and Chen Zijian with him in a carriage and went down the mountain.

When I came here, it was my first time going down the mountain. The driver of the carriage was a man from the village, named Xiao Wu. He was a fifteen-year-old boy with a lively personality. He introduced everyone to the situation around the village along the way.

"After leaving the bamboo forest ahead, we will arrive at the village. Young gang leader, should we take the country road or the official road?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Can I see the village through the pipeline?" Song Qingyao asked.

"Yes, by the way, there may be a market meeting on the pipeline today, and we can watch the fun." Xiao Wu said happily.

"Then let's go through the pipeline." Song Qingyao was also curious about what this village market was like.

How good a place's economy is can be seen just by looking at this market.

The carriage was rickety and the mountain path was bumpy. Fu Manman lazily hugged a pillow and leaned against the wall of the carriage, looking outside through the raised curtain.

"Miss, I can see the village." Qiaoer pointed outside and said.

Fu Manman also saw that there were fewer trees in front of him, and there were open fields in the distance. Among the crisscrossing fields, there were scattered wooden houses.

There are also mud thatched houses.

In the fields, many people in gray clothes were hunched over and digging in the fields.

Occasionally, there will be a common man plowing the fields with an ox.

Fu Manman lay down by the window, blowing the cold wind and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"It would be great if the fields cultivated by these common people were their own." Fu Manman said with emotion.

"Little gang leader, all the land in this world belongs to the emperor and the nobles, it cannot belong to the common people." Chen Zijian said in front of the carriage.

"Don't worry, those who follow me will have a place in the future." Fu Manman said.

When Xiao Wu heard this, he was very excited, "Little gang leader, do I also have land?"

"Yes, yes. From now on, everyone will have land. In my territory, it will be equalized land." Fu Manman said his plan.

"Miss, do I have any land?" Qiao'er approached Fu Manman and asked.

"Of course." Fu Manman replied.

Qiao'er was excited when she heard that she also had land, "Then I have to think about what to plant in the land in the future."

She is so happy!

"Little gang leader, there is a market in the village today, right in front." Xiao Wu pulled the reins and slowed the horse down.

Fu Manman saw that it was quite lively in front, so he said: "Come on, let's get off the car and go shopping. Don't call me little gang leader outside, just call me boss!"

Today she is wearing men's clothes!

Everyone agreed with this title, and Xiao Wu continued to drive the carriage and waited at the intersection ahead.

Fu Manman took the three of them for a stroll in the small market.

What she saw were ordinary farm crops, some selling peanuts, some selling beans, and some selling self-woven cloth. She saw an aunt selling tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats that she had sewn.

Although they were all made of coarse fabrics, they were quite beautiful. She stepped forward to pick up a pair and said to Qiaoer, "You can wear this little brat!"

"Yes, these shoes are really nice." Qiaoer held the pair that she couldn't put down.

Fu Manman also liked it very much. He took a pair and asked, "How much does this cost?"

"Ten cents." said the aunt.

Ten cents was not expensive, so I paid the full amount and asked about the hat, and it was still the same price.

"I want it." Fu Manman happily bought it, and took out twenty coins from his bag and gave it to the other party.

The other party was very happy when he got the money.

"Thank you, sir, for buying my things." The aunt's hands shaking when taking the money.

When other people saw Fu Manman buying things so happily, they couldn't wait to step forward and said: "Sir, look at my beans. They are very good. They don't cost more than five cents a pound."

"My peanuts are cheaper."

"Look at this mushroom, it's very good."

"These pheasants were just hunted yesterday. This pheasant is particularly good."

One by one, everyone came forward to sell their goods to Fu Manman.

Fu Manman was a little speechless, but when he thought about it, there were many people selling things in this market, but very few people buying them.

It's not easy for these common people. When they see someone generous, they all wish they could buy some of theirs.

Many people looked at the lady selling tiger-head shoes with envy.

What good luck, I earned twenty coins!

Fu Manman looked at these poor people, all of them looked at her eagerly and eagerly.

She felt sour inside, but she didn't need everything.

Then he said to them: "We only accept food. Whatever you have to eat, we will accept whatever is good."

Anyway, they are really short of food on the mountain, so they need all these.

When a group of common people heard that they had paid a lot and received all this, they were very happy and excited.

Qiaoer took the money bag and called Chen Zijian to collect the things.

At this time, Fu Manman saw a person selling farm tools. She stepped forward, looked at the farm tools, and asked, "Brother, did you make these yourself?"

"Yes, young master, let's sell it!" Fu Manman took one and looked at it carefully. It was a good shot.

For the development of the mountain, this iron is indispensable. She needs iron, a large amount of iron.

If you are looking for iron, you have to ask these blacksmiths.

"Uncle, I don't buy these, I buy raw materials. You act as a middleman and introduce me. I will give you an introduction fee." Fu Manman said without any secret.
