Chapter 189: One car on the way, one team on the way back(1/2)

Carpentry tools include chisels, axes, shovels, saws, planes, etc.

Because the price offered by the rebels was relatively high, twice the market price, the villagers in this unknown village saw a bargain and bought all the carpentry tools they had at home.

The carpenter brother Lu Li was very dedicated. A crowd of people gathered around him. The villagers brought the carpenter tools, and Lu Li inspected them carefully one by one.

A country man who looked like an honest man was holding a Benzi with a broken handle and was far away. This man was smiling sheepishly.

When we got closer, the countryman blushed and said a little embarrassedly, "This benzi is broken, how about you? I'll give you some benzi if you want."

Lu Li raised his head and looked at the person, but he didn't answer yet.

"We want it." A childish voice sounded.

"I won't give you any discounts, I'll give you the full price."

The countryman who had broken Benzi looked at the young boy in front of him in surprise. He seemed to be in disbelief. He felt that Li Mengxi was young and was not the one in charge.

The villagers only glanced at Li Mengxi, and then looked at Lu Li.

"Bring it here." Lu Li stretched out his hand, with a look of reluctance on his face, "I'll give you forty coins."

It should be discounted if it is broken.

Are there any military advisors doing this kind of business? How can I buy something if I lose money?

Benzi with a broken handle can be sold for forty cents, and the honest villagers are overjoyed.

Here, another villager saw that this group of officers and soldiers were too generous.

"Hey, brother, do you want to dig a hoe?"

Li Mengxi heard this and thought about it.

If you don't encounter a car breakdown, you may never think of preparing carpentry tools.

Then, when the hoe is not used, you may not think of preparing a hoe.

From one point of view, since carpentry tools are useful when they are needed, then the hoe may also be used when they are needed.

In the same way, when a shovel is useful, so is a sickle.

For example, if you want to build a dam and flood the Seventh Army, how can you build a dam to store water without a hoe or a shovel?

Furthermore, if he didn't bring a sickle, how could Zhuge Kongming steal Sima Yi's wheat?

Think of Zhuge Wolong, who actually brought many sickles with him when he marched and fought. From this, Zhuge Kongming's logistics ability can be seen.

Therefore, when someone from the countryside asks.

"Brother, do you want a hatchet?"

"want!"

Although Li Mengxi couldn't think of the use of a hatchet for a while, he decided to buy a hatchet without hesitation.

Other villagers saw that the rebels not only bought carpentry tools, but also bought everything.

Because Li Mengxi and others really looked like they were taken advantage of. The villagers saw that there was a big advantage to be taken, but they were unwilling to give up the good opportunity to make a fortune. Those villagers who had sold out their things quickly ran back to get their things.

went.

Now, all the hatchets have been sold.

The villagers went back and rummaged around for things. They thought, there are knives for all the food. What if those officers and soldiers really bought it?

So the villagers also took out their kitchen knives.

Liu Bei was chatting with the clan leader of this village.

When Liu Bei saw Li Mengxi not rejecting anyone who came and buying all kinds of things, Liu Bei felt funny and laughed silently.

The old man was extremely surprised when he saw the villagers bringing in all the kitchen knives to sell.

What does Ren think? We are going to fight here, and kitchen knives are useless. There are so many and they are shorter, and they can't cut people.

Could it be that they were bought to kill pigs?

It must have been for killing pigs.

When the old man thought about it, he understood.

"General, if you want to kill a pig, do you need a hook to kill the pig?"

The old man thought about Liu Bei and suggested it.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed and said, "Old man, can you ask my Xi'er? If Xi'er says to buy it, I will buy it."

When the old man heard this, he looked at the busy little figure in the crowd.

The old man thought that Li Mengxi was the nephew of Liu Bei's family.

Because I was buying woodworking tools, I also bought the broken adze at the original price.

Because some villagers were short of money and saw that the rebels were paying a high price, they brought a hoe and wanted to try it out to see if people would buy it.

Who knows, people will actually buy it.

At this time, the villagers mistakenly thought that the rebels might want to buy iron tools and melt them to make weapons.

So, hoe, shovel, hatchet, kitchen knife, fork, and sickle.

Li Mengxi bought a lot of messy things.

Almost all the ironware in this village has been purchased.

Finally, the empty truck that was pulled was almost full.

Because of this transaction, every household in the village made a lot of money.

To express his gratitude, the old patriarch took a sheep from the village and asked his two grandsons to hold two jars of good wine as a gift.

"Old man, is there still wine in your village? How much is it?"

When Li Mengxi saw the wine, he suddenly remembered.

When we were in Zhuozhou, we had to evaporate the alcohol, which caused great harm to Zhang Fei's family.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to buy wine from the city.

However, the spirit Li Mengxi wanted to make with a concentration of more than 75% was really too expensive.

In addition, alcohol is used as a disinfectant. At that time, Li Mengxi was holding a wine jar and looking for people to disinfect people everywhere. He would use alcohol to see who had external injuries, knife wounds, or bites from wild beasts.

Go use it.

As a result, alcohol consumption was extremely high, and at the same time, there was a serious shortage of water and alcohol.

Before departure, there were only eight jars of alcohol, six of which were left in Zhuozhou, and only two jars in the army.

If a war breaks out, there will definitely be many casualties, and just two jars of alcohol will not be enough.

At this moment, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered this when he saw wine. Liquor could be bought in this village.

The old patriarch asked, laughing and asking how much wine Li Mengxi would like to buy.

"We want as much as we want." Li Mengxi said domineeringly.

I came here to buy a saw, but ended up buying a hoe together.

In the end, I also bought wine.

There are eighty bottles of bad wine in this village.

Li Mengxi bought eighty altars.

The villagers came with wine jars and piled them on the ground.

Li Mengxi took a look and realized that this was not possible.

The car I brought was already full.

What to do with this wine and where to put it?

Then I thought, there was a car in front that broke down on the road. Since there was no spare car, all the food on the car had to be squeezed onto other cars.

Li Mengxi then asked, "Old man, do you have a cart in your village?"

The old man was completely confused now.

Why, buy everything.

Carts are available in every village.

Li Mengxi then bought twelve carts.

I bought twelve cars at once.

However, a problem came up again.

The rebel army now has more than 300 grain trucks.

This number, compared to the number of rebels with thousands of people, the number of grain trucks has reached its limit.
