“That’s true. I’m back. I should go and visit him,” Liao Ming said.

“Everyone, please stop hanging around. Let’s share the things first. These things are not too expensive. They are just little things from my family. I hope you don’t dislike them,” Liao Ming said with a smile as he opened the carriage.

Inside the carriage were boxes stacked one after another. When they opened the boxes, they could find some lamb legs and wool products.

Because he used to suffer from scarcity and inequality, Liao Tingyu calculated the approximate number of people in the village and added a little more. However, this goat milk powder was a scarce item, so it was impossible to distribute it to every household and he could only use other things to replace it.

The village chief looked at it and feared that he would not be able to get these things even within a few decades. Sure enough, it was unusual for an official to take action.

“I’m afraid these things will cost a lot of money, right?” the village chief said.

“Sheep are a rare commodity in places like here, but they are similar to chickens and ducks in our place, so they are not too rare. It’s just the output of milk powder is too small, so we can’t give it to everyone,” Liao Ming explained.

“It turns out that goat milk powder is made from you. You don’t need to tell me to know that this stuff is scarce. I remember from the family where I went to work part-time. It was a good thing but hard to get. I heard from the housekeeper that just one pound cost ten taels of silver,” Liao Tao said with envy as he looked at the goat milk powder packed tightly in a jar.

“Oh my god, it’s so expensive. I only heard that old men in the county use these. I heard that drinking them is good for your health. I didn’t expect that this stuff is more expensive than ginseng,” others who knew a little bit were simply surprised. Such a small jar costs ten taels of silver, so how many taels of silver would it cost to deliver so much?

Although Liao Ming said he didn’t bring much, at a glance, there must be twenty or thirty jars. How many taels of silver it would be? There were more than 100 households in their Liaojia Village.

And there were also those woolen products with bright patterns, which were very valuable at first sight, and each one was so big.

Some good-hearted women were very curious about how much money these blankets could sell for. After all, for them, there was no hope of obtaining milk powder and such. They must be for the elderly and children.

But these blankets could be given to each family. If they were given as a dowry or as a betrothal gift, it was also very honorable.

“Brother Liao Ming, I have never seen these blankets in the county. Are they expensive in your place? Look at how bright the colors are, and the patterns look strange, but they are very beautiful,” Cui Gu’s eyes almost stuck to the blanket, and she asked with a smile.

“Yes, this thing only costs a hundred yuan a piece. It is very useful. It can be used as a quilt for children. It is very warm and can be worn on the body when the weather gets cold. It is not big or heavy,” Liao Ming said.

“Liao Ming! How much wool does it take to make such a blanket? Are there too many sheep over there?” Liao Chang asked.

“Second Uncle, the sheep over there are different from the sheep here. Their wool is very thick and curly, and they need help from someone to cut it every year. Unlike ours, the wool is long and will fall apart if it is cut.”

“So that’s it!” Liao Chang nodded, as expected, the world was full of wonders.

.

The village chief counted the number of people while they were talking and found that some people had not come.

And looking at the smiles on everyone’s faces, it seemed that they hadn’t finished speaking yet.

“Okay everyone, listen to me, we can’t reserve seats here. Let’s go over there and sit down, and then let the children wait for those who haven’t come back. If there is anything, we can talk slowly in there.”

“Yes, yes, I was almost squeezed to death. By the way, Brother Liao Ming, you haven’t eaten yet when you come back, right? How about I let my wife bake some pancakes.”

“Yes, my wife can make them too, let him cook some.”

“Hey, why don’t you bring over the big pot from our village, and each household contributes a little? Things are cooked together and eaten together. To be honest, I haven’t eaten that thing for a long time, and I feel a little nostalgic just thinking about it now!” said the village chief’s wife.

Only then did Liao Ming and others remembered that pot. That pot helped many people in the village. He thought back when the entire county was hit by drought, there was no food in many places. It was all because of that pot that every household took a little bit of food to get through it.

It was a pity the eldest brother who originally came up with this idea and contributed this pot accidentally caught a cold and passed away.

“Okay, that’s okay. It’s still well preserved in the pond. Please bring it out now. If you all have something, take it out, and if you have extra bowls, take out the bowls,” the village chief said to everyone. He very much agreed with this idea.

When they went to get the pot, the village chief and his wife got very close.

“I know what you want to ask, wait a minute, I am more anxious about this matter than you,” the village chief said in a voice that only the two people could hear.

“I really regret it now. If I had known he could achieve what he does now, how could I have done those things in the first place? I wish I could give myself a few slaps.” The village chief’s wife was filled with regret.

It was all because of her own contempt for others, and she never thought about the carp leaping over the dragon’s gate. She just hoped that Liao Tingyu would not care about her oppression in the first place. She could not even think about Mother Deng, that little woman with chicken intestines and deeper grudge.

That night, the bonfire in Liaojia Village was lit for half the night, with singing and dancing.

Liao Ming personally delivered the things to everyone.

Returning to his familiar home, even though there was no familiar person around him, he fell asleep quickly.
