Chapter 1901: Divide the Water

There is water!

Gu Jinli was overjoyed and pushed Ji Zhenniang next to him: "Uncle Mutong is back from buying water, get up quickly!"

Then he said to Xiao Ji outside the house: "I'm going out right now."

"Hey, my slave is waiting for you." Xiaoji was also very happy. He replied to the room and then said to Sanqing who was guarding the door: "Sanqing, we have water and we won't die of thirst. Are you happy?" ?”

Sanqing nodded calmly, saying that she was very happy... Actually what she wanted to say was that even if the people in other health centers did not let them fetch water, they would not die of thirst, but they would have to go far away to spend money. Just buy water to eat.

Boom, Xiao Ji knocked San Qing on the head, frowned and said, "Why don't you say anything? Don't imitate Sister Da Qing. Little girls should be more lively and cute."

This is what the little boss said!

Sanqing glanced at her and said seriously: "Sister Daqing is one of the people I admire most. I want to learn from her. This is what the master has told me."

These celebrations were prepared by their master for the madam, and she would take over from Sister Daqing in the future and protect the madam in the dark, so she couldn't laugh all the time.

People who are secret guards should be colder.

With a creak, Gu Jinli opened the door to the back room and urged toward the back room: "Ji Zhenniang, hurry up."

"Come on, come on, wait a minute, this hair is hard to comb." Ji Zhenniang was combing her hair, but the more anxious she was, the harder it was to comb her bun, so she just stopped combing it, grabbed the cloak, and pulled the pocket of the cloak. He put a hat on his head to cover his messy hair and hurriedly came out: "Let's go and see the water!"

Gu Jinli called to Xiao Ji and San Qing: "Let's go."

"Hey." Xiao Ji and San Qing responded and ran away with Gu Jinli.

On the way, Ji Zhenniang took the opportunity to beg: "Gu Xiaoyu, our friendship is so good, please give our Dabao Guard four trucks of water. Our health center is very short of water."

Gu Jinli chuckled: "You are really good at talking. It seems that Yangshan Wei and Changliang Wei are not short of water. Just come back with ten carts of water. You still want to take away four carts. What are you daydreaming about?"

Ji Zhenniang said: "I also know that it is selfish of me to ask for four loads of water, but next time the water comes back, our port guard will only need three loads of water. Is it possible?"

Gu Jinli gave her a roll of his eyes: "You are so stupid that I don't even want to chat with you... Now that Uncle Mu Tong has found a place to buy water, he will definitely bring two more convoys with him next time. Where else can I go?" Only buy ten loads of water?”

Won't you buy more?

Do we still need to continue to divide the water between ten cars?

Is it okay to have ten vehicles for each health center? !

Well, after hearing this, Ji Zhenniang felt that Gu Jinli was right to scold him.

"Sanlang's wife, Chengge's daughter-in-law, you are finally here." Kuang lived in the tent outside and came earlier than them. She said with a smile: "There is water. It's been ten cartloads. I just drank two bowls." , it’s so refreshing!”

Gu Jinli hurriedly asked: "Aunt Niu, have you drank this water? Have you lured the insects? It's better not to drink raw water, it will make you sick."

Ancient water is different from modern tap water. Even if there are no poisonous insects, there will be some small parasites. Therefore, she does not allow people here to drink raw water. It must be boiled before drinking.

Kuang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I drank the warm water boiled by Mutong brothers. Now the raw water in the water man cannot be drunk because it is frozen."

"Little boss, I bought the water. How do you divide it?" Uncle Mu Tong saw Gu Jinli coming and said to her with a smile.

And people were already gathering around the ten carriages.

Many people held torches to light up the convoy. When they saw Gu Jinli coming, they all moved out of the way and pointed to the carriage path: "Madam, we have water, it's good water!"

It's not dirty water in a river or stream.

Gu Jinli nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I saw it. You can rest assured, we don't have to worry about running out of water."

Then he asked: "Are Yao Baihu and Aunt Yao here?"

Niu Sijin said: "Brother Danian has already gone to invite you."

Just as he was talking, he saw a burst of torch light moving towards this side. It was Yao Baihu and the others. They said from a distance: "Madam, but Brother Mutong has returned from buying water?"

"Exactly!"

After hearing this, Yao Baihu quickened his pace and brought Lu and the soldiers over.

After waiting for the motorcade, they hurriedly opened the carriages to check the water... Inside the carriages, there were two layers of water bowls stacked at random, each water bowl was full of water. Because of the cold weather, the water was frozen. A thin layer of ice.

Bang, Yao Baihu smashed the ice with a punch, grabbed a handful of crushed ice, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and said happily: "There is no smell, it is clean well water! Brother Mutong, you are so powerful, where can I hit you?" Bought water? Has the subsequent purchase of water been settled?"

Uncle Mu Tong smiled and said: "It's not my fault, it's because Madam has a good memory and remembered Master Shi San."

"Master Shi San?" Yao Baihu thought for a while and asked: "But that Master Shi San was trapped in his village by lurking thieves and was rescued by Lord Qianhu?"

Uncle Mu Tong nodded: "It's him. He was grateful for Master Qianhu's life-saving grace. When he was separated from you, he gave you a handwritten letter and a famous post from the Shi family. He told you that if you were in trouble, you could take his handwritten letter with you. I went with Mingzhi to ask for help from someone who is friends with him. I bought this water from Tangjiazhuangzi, who is friends with Mr. Shi San."

He took out the account book and handed it to Yao Baihu: "A cart of water, no matter how much we load, only costs one tael of silver. In the future, we can go to Tangjiazhuangzi to buy water at any time, as long as we have enough."

"Haha, that's very good!" Yao Baihu smiled, but quickly suppressed his smile... One tael of silver per car of water is cheap at this time, but if you buy it for a month, you have to pay for it. They couldn't afford three hundred taels of silver, so they had to dig a well as soon as possible.

Kuang also felt it was a bit expensive: "Brother Mu Tong, since Master Tang and Master Shi San are acquaintances, can this water be made cheaper?"

Uncle Mutong sighed: "The war in the northwest has affected the Tang family. Many fields and villages have not been able to plant seeds for cultivation this year. Therefore, the Tang family is short of food. They need money to buy food in the south, so they can only collect money from us."

Otherwise, given the friendship between Mr. Shi San and Mr. Tang, it would be impossible for the Tang family to accept money from them.

After hearing this, Mrs. Kuang no longer thought it was too expensive: "It's not easy for everyone, so let's just leave it at that."

Gu Jinli asked Uncle Mutong: "Is the Tang family very short of food? To what extent is it short of food?"

Uncle Mutong replied: "The people in Zhuangzi only have half a bowl of soybeans to eat every day. But the head of Zhuangzi said that the food convoy assembled by the Tang family and a dozen wealthy households has been traveling for two months. It should have been there before the year. I can buy food and come back.”

After hearing this, Gu Jinli pondered for a while, and finally decided not to give food to the Tang family... If the people who bought food from the Tang family years ago could not come back, and the Tang family ran out of food to cook, she would give them food.

After all, food is precious now. Although she has food, it is not appropriate to expose it.

"Aunt Niu, let's share the water." Gu Jinli said.

Kuang was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Hey, let's share the water now."

After dividing it up, she could quickly take the water back to Yangshanwei. Everyone was waiting for the water to drink.

Ji Zhenniang was afraid that their guard station would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly said: "We at the big port guard are also waiting for water!"
