Chapter 219 You’re right to listen to Ran Yatou

When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood.

"That's right! With so many leathers, we only thought about using them as clothes to keep out the cold, and we forgot that we could exchange them for money! There are also mushrooms and wild vegetables picked up in the forest, which have been dried and put away, so we should be able to take them as well. Sell. I just don’t know who these things can be sold to and how much they can cost?”

Qiao Ran said: "This county is too small. I don't think there are many people who can buy our leathers. Don't sell them all yet. Sell one or two pieces first to exchange for some necessary supplies, and then continue selling in the towns behind!" You can sell your skins to pawn shops or clothing stores, and ask them if they will accept mushrooms and wild vegetables."

Someone said: "Young girl Ran has a way! Then we will listen to you! Otherwise, you can take the big guys to the city to sell these things! We don't know anything, and we are afraid of being bullied by others. We country people drive randomly. The price is just ridiculous, we don’t even know!”

Qiao Ran also planned to go to the city, but the weather was getting colder and colder. If she wanted to take out some supplies in the space for use, she had to cross the open road first.

For example, it's time to take out the tent now. It's already cold when sleeping in the wild, and lighting a fire isn't of much use.

If it rains or snows, and people have no place to hide, it would be strange not to catch the cold and get seriously ill.

Therefore, she not only had to arrange her own tent, but also taught everyone how to set up the tent together, so that her home would not be too obtrusive and make people jealous.

So she responded cheerfully: "Okay! Then I will go to the city with everyone. In addition, I suggest that everyone buy more linoleum cloth to avoid getting caught in the rain or snow when it rains or snows and gets cold."

When everyone heard it, they all thought it made sense.

"Thanks for the reminder, Ran Yatou! I didn't even think about it. I just wanted to buy more food and medicine to treat colds, but I never thought that preventing diseases before they happen is the most important thing!"

"I have thought about buying linoleum cloth, but I don't know how much I need to buy? Should each person wear one piece? What should I do when it rains? Sleep standing up with linoleum cloth?"

The others were amused by the man's question, but after laughing, they also felt a little sad.

But no, even if you buy linoleum cloth, if it rains for a whole day, or even for several days or nights, will you have to stand and rest with the linoleum cloth?

Seeing everyone's worries, Qiao Ran smiled and solved the problem for everyone: "Everyone, buy as big a piece of linoleum as possible. Then I will teach you how to build a tent. No matter it rains or snows, we can all be comfortable in the tent." Lie down and sleep."

"Really? That would be great!"

"You're right to listen to Ran Yatou! This girl has more clever ideas in her mind than the hundreds of us people combined!"

"That's right, I just can't figure out how to solve it. I've thought about building a shelf and putting a cloth on it to protect it from the rain and snow, but how should I set up the shelf? Will the wind blow the cloth away? ?Will the snow collapse the cloth? How can you sleep under it when it rains? I really can’t figure it out."

"Then let's listen to Ran Yatou. Go buy more linoleum and let Ran Yatou teach us how to set up a tent."

"Good! Good!"

The villagers all agreed to go to the city to buy more linoleum to put up tents.

It's just that you have to pay the city fee to enter the city. You can only send one person from the family to buy it, and you have to take off the conspicuous animal skin clothes, so as not to attract attention and avoid unnecessary trouble.

So each family began to discuss who should enter the city and what should be bought.

Seeing that Qiao Ran was in the limelight in front of the villagers again, Qiao Honglian couldn't help but snorted jealously and muttered sourly:

"She will show off her cleverness to the limelight, as if she is the smartest among everyone. She is so smart, so she buys linoleum for everyone! What's the big deal with just talking?"

The Qiao Dewang family and the Wang family have repeatedly annoyed the villagers, and now everyone is unwilling to let them get closer. They can only hang at the back of the team. They can no longer integrate into the team during rest time, and can only stay in the village. People are several feet away.

They felt aggrieved, but they had no courage to leave the team. In fact, they knew very well that if they left the team, they would have no safety guarantee and could be robbed, robbed, or even killed at any time.

Fortunately, they were far away, so Qiao Honglian's muttering was not heard by the villagers, otherwise they would have become even more disgusted with this family who couldn't carry anything.

Xiao Huang glared at her fiercely, stretched out his arm and pinched her hard, warning: "Don't provoke that evil god! If you provoke people's anger again, they will drive you away. Our family can’t protect you!”

Qiao Honglian was trembling all over when her mother pinched a little bit of her flesh, but she could only dare to be angry and dare not speak.

The family now dislikes her very much, because they think she has wasted so much of the family's money.

If the villagers really want to drive her away, I'm afraid her family will really leave her alone.

She could only curse Qiao Ran in her heart.

Qiao Ran discussed it with her family and decided that she and her second uncle should drive a carriage into the city together.

In order not to make people suspicious, she also put a few pieces of leather at home in the carriage, and then took them to the city to sell them and exchange them for some food.

A group of fifty or sixty people followed the other refugees, lined up to pay the entry fee, and entered Shuimen County together.

Because time was limited, we didn't have time to go shopping. We asked someone on the street for directions, and then we divided into groups and went directly to the clothing store, restaurant, and grain store.

I have to say that now that the weather is getting colder, these beast skins are still very easy to sell. A rabbit skin can be sold for one tael of silver, and a wolf skin can be sold for at least a dozen taels of silver.

After all, those ferocious beasts are scary to everyone, but not many people have the courage to go hunting in the mountains. Even ordinary hunters have to walk around when they see traces of wolves.

Wolves are the most vengeful animals, and they usually live in groups. If you see a wolf, there may be dozens of wolves nearby, and no one dares to provoke them easily.

However, these animal skins are rare items for wealthy families. Some wealthy families like to buy these skins to make cloaks or seat cushions to show their financial strength.

Therefore, the rarer the beast skin is, the more expensive it is.

Qiao Ran took everyone to two pawn shops, but neither of them sold a single piece of leather.

Someone asked in confusion: "Girl Ran, why don't we sell our skins to them? There are not many pawnshops in this city. What if no one accepts our skins?"

Qiao Ran gave the man a comforting look and said, "Don't worry, let's go to the clothing store and ask."

Not far ahead there was a quite large "Sister-in-law Yang's Clothing Shop". Qiao Ran entered the shop with more than thirty people who wanted to sell leather.

The shop is quite spacious, but there are not many customers.

Beside the counter, a clean-cut young woman wearing a narrow-sleeved embroidered cotton coat and her hair wrapped in a scarf was fiddling with her abacus. Her frown showed that she was worried.
