The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 217 Planning to Buy Grain

Nanny Rong sorted out all the medicinal materials in the basket, and happily took the wild ginger away.

Yan Yu followed her eyes and found that she had dug a few holes on the side of the vegetable garden and buried the wild ginger in them.

Natural preservation method, great!

The two brothers and sisters took the picked grass to feed the sheep. The three sheep came slowly and chewed with their heads down.

The two hens clucked over here, with one foot hanging in the air, and then gently put it down after a while. The small bean-like eyes didn't know whether they were looking at people or sheep. A few more pecks.

One of the rams bleated and rushed at them suddenly.

The two hens clucked and clucked for a while, and ran and bumped in a hurry, leaving a row of hasty paw prints and a few chicken feathers that fell from the fan.

The ram ignored it and continued to eat grass.

The two hens who had no memory came over again in a blink of an eye, and Yan Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

Two little hands waved them away.

"Go over there, why don't you keep running around here, go to the vegetable garden and peck at bugs!"

The two hens were driven around by her, going everywhere except the vegetable garden...

Yan Xiangheng raised his forehead, if you chase the chickens like this, can they still lay eggs? If you like to stroll, let them stroll.

"Xiaoer, didn't you just say something was wrong." Yan Xiangheng greeted her.

Yan Yu stopped competing with the chicken and ran over.

Without even taking a breath, he said quickly, "Brother, let's stock up on some food now. There are so many disaster victims in Guanzhou, and they all have to eat. There is only one season of planting here in a year. After paying the food tax and our own food, there is no food left." How much, if they don’t sell grain, or if they sell very little, how much will the price of grain drop? Let’s not wait and buy now.”

Yan Xiangheng thought seriously.

No matter whether you buy grain early or late, you have to bear the increase or decrease of the price.

Guanzhou has accepted so many disaster victims, and there are so many mouths waiting to eat.

Food, will not be enough?

Losing or earning is not so important compared to being hungry.

Buying it back now will give them more peace of mind.

"I'm going to discuss this matter with the village elders," Yan Xiangheng said.

"Also, big brother, we have eight bags of patented medicine tomorrow, why don't you send them to Huju City first, bring back some money, and distribute it to each family."

Yan Xiangheng said: "Then I will go to Huju City tomorrow."

"Father bought a fishing net before and wanted to catch more fish from the river, but now he is not at home, big brother, you ask each family in the village who will use that net, let's spare some time every day to go to the river to lower the net, okay?" good?"

"Well, good." Yan Xiangheng nodded, finished the food left for him in two or three bites, and ran out.

Village head Luo likes to sit on the big rock and weave baskets and mats with the old guys.

As soon as lunch was over, they walked out of the house at the same time and gathered together.

Yan Xiangheng came early, and had been leaning against the big rock for a while.

Seeing him here, Village Chief Luo took two quick steps and asked, "Brother Heng, is there something wrong?"

"Grandpa, the village chief, there are some things." Yan Xiangheng organized the language to talk about several things.

Before Village Chief Luo could speak, the real old Song Tou, who was listening beside him, started bluffing.

"Then you have to buy food early and come back to stockpile it. When the money is gone, you can earn more. If there is no food, it will be fatal!"

Village head Luo also nodded: "This is an urgent matter. I have to find out how to get to the surrounding towns later. Let's organize people to buy separately."

This is the old saying.

Thoughtful.

There are so many families in the village, even if each family only buys a few catties, there are no young or old. In Huju's current situation, Yongning and the others can't get in, so they can only buy from grain shops in various towns.

For such a large amount of business, the grain shops in the town may not be able to afford it, and they may have to sit on the ground and raise the price. It is better to buy them separately, which is less conspicuous.

As for what Yan Xiangheng said about getting off the net and delivering medicine to Huju.

The few old people didn't expect to be able to get back some money for the medicine, but they were just thinking about Mr. Xiucai. As soon as they heard about the eight bags of medicine, they immediately recruited people, saying that they would send them out early tomorrow.

After dinner, torches were lit at the boulders.

Village head Luo told about the purchase of grain, and asked each family to report the amount of grain they wanted to buy to Yan Xiangheng, and asked the big guys to be careful with the mules and donkeys in the village recently.

By the way, I selected a few models who have worked hard and performed well recently, and a few families whose houses are about to be capped, and praised them emphatically.

Finally, the matter of lifting the net fish was mentioned.

He made it very clear that it was the Yan family’s net, and it cannot be used for nothing, and the fish caught will be given to others, and he emphasized his tone, “If you really know how to do this, don’t be ashamed if you don’t… …

The big guy was tired all day and should have a rest, but was disturbed by what the village chief said about buying grain, he walked away sleepy, taking advantage of the fact that almost the whole village was there, and the crowd was crowded, discussing in one go.

The main thing is to ask how much others are going to buy, and then weigh your own.

Several former mountain people surrounded Uncle An.

"Uncle An, how much food should we buy?"

Although everyone is from the same village now, and everyone agrees that Village Chief Luo is still the head of this big village, but the habits of many years cannot be changed, especially those who come from mountain villages, and they trust more in the one who watched them grow up. Uncle Ann.

Uncle An has a plan in his mind. Except for killing bandits, they are very active, and other things follow the trend. They don't get ahead and don't cause trouble. When they arrive in Guanzhou, they honestly let Yan Xiucai arrange them.

On the day of re-registration, this group of people who were born in the mountains and grew up in the mountains were so excited that they wished to shout a few times.

But at that time they were still outside Huju City, so they could only hold back the excitement.

When I arrived here, I divided the land and opened up wasteland to grow vegetables. I have been busy all the time.

The mountain people swayed their joy in the fields that belonged to them.

They are a little slow in building houses, but they are not bad at all in building land, and they are good at finding medicine in the mountains.

When it comes to the work points recorded in Cui Lang's office, they are all at the top of the list.

Uncle An hesitated.

People in the mountains have few opportunities to touch money.

The money that was distributed before was put in their pockets, and they were really not willing to spend it at all.

It was the dead money that Yan Yu was talking about.

They had some left over, and with the rations generously distributed by the old man, it would be enough to eat for a few months.

Besides, they are backed by mountains, which is the environment they are most familiar with.

One after another, some people caught hares and pheasants, as well as hedgehogs and squirrels. People in the mountains can eat them all.

Besides, at this time of year, there are many wild vegetables that can be imported in the mountains. They have collected them carefully according to the habits they have developed over the years.

After doing the math, it seems that there is no need to buy food.

but……

They are not the same now.

He doesn't live in the mountains, but he has land and built an adobe house at the foot of the mountain.

Do you still want to live like before?

Do you also want to learn from others and make some changes?

There was a bit of confusion on Uncle An's face.

The few people around him couldn't understand the change in his face.

"Buy!" He finally made up his mind.

"We will buy as much as other people buy. We always have more money than those other people. We will buy as much as they buy."

The "those families" in his mouth are the victims who were ravaged by bandits before, and the money was distributed several times, and the "those families" received the least.

If they are willing to take it out to buy food.

Then this food, you should buy it!

After all, they yearn for the life at the bottom of the mountain, but they don't know how to live a good life, so they can only learn from others secretly.

Uncle An said something here, and a few people wandered around Yan Xiangheng,

Staring at the big guys to remember how many.

Yan Xiangheng was very busy here.

Just one grain purchase registration, there are a total of about one hundred households in the village, and it feels like he has been busy with three hundred households.

As soon as I memorized the previous one, I turned around and ran to change it.

A look at the back also followed the change.

I regretted it while I was remembering it, and begged him to wait a while before going back to discuss it with his family...

Mrs. Qi found Li Xuemei.

Ask her: "Big sister, how much food do you plan to buy? Forget it?"

Li Xuemei nodded and said, "The children figured it out by themselves, I'll show you."

She took out a piece of paper, with large characters written on both sides, even the blank spaces were filled with many small characters, and something was written in charcoal in the smaller gaps.

Li Xuemei read it to her, and it contained the amount of food his family had prepared to survive this winter.

Polished rice, fine noodles, coarse grains, coarse noodles, and all kinds of miscellaneous grains and beans, there are always a lot of them.

Mrs. Qi was confused when she heard it.

There were so many samples that she couldn't remember.

"Big sister, do you have a total? Tell me the total." She took Li Xuemei's hand and said in a low voice, "My mother already said it, and we don't need to worry about it. We can multiply your number by five times and buy it."

She whispered with some embarrassment: "I don't know if this is enough."

Li Xuemei was silent.

Tell her the total.

Mrs. Qi left happily.

After talking with Qi's old lady for a while, I decided to go last and report secretly.

Although everyone in the village knows that the three men in her family can eat it, but they don’t know how much they can eat. It’s better to hide it, as my mother said, hide their big stomachs, and also hide our family’s money, so it’s not easy for others to know. so real.

That night, Yan Xiangheng didn't sleep well.

One is because he will be able to see his father tomorrow, and the other is that he has a headache because of the number of grains reported by the village.

It was still dark on the second day, and Mrs. Qi thought that there would be no one around at this time, so she reported the number of her family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, he saw several people squatting in the dark in front of Yan's yard.

Good guy!

This means that she is very courageous, and if she is a timid one, she might be scared to death.

"What are you squatting here for?" Mrs. Qi took a while to recover her voice.

"Master Qi's? Why are you here? Where's your Qi Da?"

It was Hu Da who asked the question.

"Yesterday, I was burning charcoal late, and I fell asleep in the woods, and I haven't come back yet." Mrs. Qi said.

Hu Da nodded, a little envious of the fact that Qi Da and the others could get together to burn charcoal together with Yan Laoer.

The more I stay in Guanzhou, the more I know how good this charcoal is.

In winter, if you are willing to work hard, the charcoal can still be burned, and they will not be able to do it. I am afraid that in winter, they will be like the cats that Master Lu said, and they will not be able to do any work.

"The number reported by my family yesterday. I went back and thought about it. It was a little small. I thought about it and changed it."

The reason why the Hu family has changed many times is that Hu Da and Hu Er took back the slingshot of the previous children. When they went into the mountains to dig medicine, if they saw wild animals, few could escape from their sight alive.

With meat in the account, the consumption of food will naturally be small.

In addition to all kinds of wild vegetables, his family didn't plan to buy more at first, and calculated that it would be enough for the ration.

But they couldn't hold back the information exchange in the village. They found out how much the family was going to buy, and how much the family was adding, and they also increased accordingly.

Later, someone talked about the disaster victims. They also thought that there might not be enough food. The family discussed it in the middle of the night and decided to buy more and stock up.

As for the other families in the village, they still have to calculate their money, but the Hu family doesn't need it. Every time they kill bandits, their brothers don't fall behind, and the money they get is really quite a lot.

Where there is silver, there is confidence.

What his brother Hu Er said is right, what are you afraid of? It’s all free money. It’s serious when you’re full. It’s the first time you spend the winter in Guanzhou. Who knows what’s going on? eat.

In this way, Hu Da left several good friends.

There are those from the original village, and there are also a few original mountain families, all of whom have killed the bandits together and have an iron-like friendship.

Several families wanted to add up, and couldn't wait, so they ran to wait outside the yard.

It was tiring to stand, so I squatted down naturally.

Everyone didn't speak anymore.

Mrs. Qi went home and came again.

Wait until the early morning light.

From a distance, they saw a figure approaching quickly.

Taking a closer look, it was Mrs. Rong who was working in Yan's house.

Mistress Rong looked at them with doubts on her face.

Mrs. Qi said: "Let's talk to Brother Heng'er about the amount of food we bought, don't worry, we will keep our voices low and not disturb them."

Rong Niangzi nodded and walked in.

Start cooking...

Yan Yu felt like there were flies buzzing around her ears.

She swung wildly twice, turned over, and hit Mao Mao's face on one side.

Mao Mao didn't even bother to move, she opened her eyes slightly, and then closed them again.

What does it feel like to suck a cat when you open your eyes?

happy! happiness!

Yan Yu opened his eyes, and finally heard what the buzzing sound was that disturbed his sleep.

It's all vocals.

He listened to a few words.

She put the quilt over her head.

here we go again!

Still buy food!

This matter cannot be passed.

Let's not talk about other things, the paper written by the big brother is quite wasteful.

Yan Yu's heart ached even looking at it from the sidelines.

She stood up suddenly, her little face full of solemnity.

This can no longer be the case.

Those papers are expensive!

After she quickly washed her hair, she couldn't wait for Big Sister to braid her hair, so she casually gathered it up and ran to the place where the sound came from.

"Big brother, let me remember." Yan Yu said.

Rescuing Yan Xiangheng from the crowd, he flipped his hand and showed his charcoal pencil.

It is really prepared.

"Come one by one, line up."

The Yan family's second child looks serious, and looks like that.

Ignore what she said about the messy hair.

Compared with the kindness and courtesy of Yan Jiaheng's brother, Yan Yu participated in the settlement and distribution of money several times, which virtually gave everyone a sense of trustworthiness.

Hu Dao: "Line up, everyone line up."

He naturally stood at the first place.

He smiled and said, "Xiaoer, I changed the previous one for Uncle Hu's house, and I will add three hundred catties."
