    Once the business is settled, Dalang will leave it alone.  Let Jiang Dashan and the others be busy making deliveries.  The village was very lively, because there was meat to eat, and they had made a profit from this business. The adults were in a good mood, and every household seemed to be celebrating the New Year.

    Dalang took out a piece of cake, broke it into several small pieces, and distributed it to several children. He also chatted with them, knowing that tomorrow was actually the day for them to attend the big market.

    ¡°It¡¯s very lively, there are so many people.¡± A child said with nostalgia.  As long as you go to the market, your family can always buy some food for them to have a toothpaste.

    "Is it far?" Dalang asked.

    "It's not far." One of the older children said uncertainly.

    Seeing that he could ask no more questions, Dalang went to the village chief and said, "Take us to the market tomorrow. We will sell the remaining wild boars and exchange for some food at the market."

    "Okay." The village chief agreed.

    "Can you find a place for us to stay in the village tonight?" Xie Sanbo asked.

    "Just stay at my house. However, my family is also poor and there is nothing to entertain. Just don't dislike it." The village chief warmly invited me.

    "Then I'm sorry." Jiang Dashan took out a couple of silver and handed it over, saying it was for tonight's meal and accommodation.

    The village chief didn¡¯t refuse. He took over and said with some embarrassment: ¡°My family is poor and there is nothing to entertain. I wonder if the guests can eat?¡±

    "We just need to drink some hot soup. We bring our own dry food. Even our horses are kept in your yard? What should we do with our wild boar?" Xie Sanbo said.  Marco is their treasure and must be taken good care of.

    They still have a few pancakes left, just eat them as you like.  Anyway, they were never hungry along the way. Besides, when they go to the market tomorrow, are they worried that they won't be able to buy food?  So I didn¡¯t have much hope for this meal.

    "Don't worry, the horse will naturally take care of you. The wild boar will also watch it," the village chief said.  Although the wild boar is very ferocious, it has been injured and has been tied up for a few days. It has lost its vitality for a long time. If it is tied up carefully, there is no need to be afraid at all.

    A few people sat in front of the village chief's house and chatted for a while. The village chief's daughter-in-law came over and called for dinner.

    At this moment, Dalang and the others realized that the village chief¡¯s family was quite large, but the women could not serve on the table and hid in the kitchen to eat.  On the big table in the main room, there were four dishes, a large bowl of soup, and a stack of thick vegetable pancakes.

    It seems that the village chief¡¯s family still tried their best to prepare some food. They put some oil in the vegetable soup, added eggs, and made a big bowl.  There was also a large plate of fried bacon and dried bamboo shoots, but they didn't look at the other three dishes in detail.  Because Jiang Dashan and the others didn't ask for other meals, they just soaked the flatbread in the vegetable soup, then added a few chopsticks with bacon and stewed dried bamboo shoots. Each of them had one bowl and that was it.

    The village chief¡¯s house originally had a house for welcoming caravans. In their yard, there was a row of small houses with a total of four rooms. In addition to bamboo beds and bamboo chairs, there was also a small bamboo table inside.  There was only some hay on the bed, no bedding.

    "There is no extra bedding at home. This room is also for the caravans to stay. They all bring their own bedding. The room is very clean and we clean it every day." The village chief said.

    "Thank you very much." Xie Sanbo thanked him profusely. It's rare to have a bed to sleep on. This is countless times better than sleeping outside. There's nothing to be picky about.

    The next morning, Jiang Dashan and the other four of them drank a bowl of the village chief¡¯s vegetable porridge for breakfast.

    There are quite a few people in the village going out to the market, including men, women, old and young.  Everyone brought some bamboo utensils and even a few wild rabbits.  I heard that they haven't killed the wild boar yet. They are waiting to go back and kill it after finishing the market today.

    Going to the market, Jiang Dashan and the four of them only brought two horses, and they planned to buy some food at the market.  Because there are already a lot of bamboo utensils, even two horses can't carry them. The main reason is that they are big, take up space, and are not too heavy.

    But this place is much poorer than the county town we went to last time. There is only a small market called Half Street.  There are two sparse small shops, and the transactions are based on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. The nearby mountain people and farmers bring their own things to exchange for some daily necessities.

    "So young." Mr. Xie murmured.

    "That's right, it's said to be a big market. It's just a small place. We don't want to take this wild boar back, right?" Jiang Dashan said worriedly.

    "That's okay. I have to exchange some things with the villagers and get some more bamboo chairs and tables to go back to. Anyway, we lack these things at home." Dalang said.

    "Your idea is not bad." Mr. Xie laughed at what he said.Shanshan asked the store to pack a dozen steamed buns and two bags of braised pork for him to take with him, which he planned to eat on the road.  It was rare for the store owner to see such generous guests, so they naturally treated them very enthusiastically. Jiang Dashan took the opportunity to ask: "Those three people charged ten yuan for crossing the bridge. What's going on?"

    "Oh, you don't know, we rely on the bridge to get in and out of this place. In the past, each person only received one or two yuan. Those who do business only charge three yuan. After the new year, for some reason, the people guarding the bridge began to  There are more and more soldiers, all carrying knives, the interrogations are strict, and the money collected is getting more and more," the boss said.

    "How far is that bridge?" Mr. Xie asked.

    ¡°More than thirty miles away. After crossing the bridge, we will reach Qingyuan County in less than ten miles,¡± the boss said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
