Chapter 217 Planning to buy food
Nurse Rong sorted out all the medicinal materials in the basket, and happily took the wild **** 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 **** in them.
Natural preservation method, great!
The two brothers and sisters took the picked grass to feed the sheep, and the three sheep walked over slowly, lowering their heads to chew.
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 towards them suddenly.
The two hens clucked and clucked, 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 small hands waved and blasted them away.
"Go over there, why don't you keep running around here, go to the vegetable garden and peck at bugs!"
Two hens were driven around by her, going everywhere except the vegetable garden...
Yan Xiangheng raised his forehead, if you chase chickens like this, can they still lay eggs? If you like to stroll, let them stroll.
"Xiaoer, didn't you just say something happened." 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.
Whether you buy grain early or late, you still have to bear the price increase or decrease.
Guanzhou has accepted so many disaster victims, and there are so many mouths waiting to eat.
Food, will it not be enough?
Losing or earning is not so important compared to being hungry.
Bring it back now, they will feel more at ease.
"I'm going to discuss this matter with the village elders." Yan Xiangheng said.
"Also, big brother, we have eight bags of ready-made medicines 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 mouthfuls, and ran out.
Village head Luo likes to sit on a big rock and weave baskets and mats with the old guys.
After lunch, they walked out of the house and got 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'er, 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 began to bluff.
"Then you have to buy food early and come back to stockpile it. When the money is gone, you can earn more. If you don't have food, it will be fatal!"
Village Chief 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 and solemn words.
Thoughtful thinking.
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 the grain shops in various towns.
With 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 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 eight bags of medicine, they immediately recruited people, saying that they would send them out early tomorrow.
After dinner, a torch was lit at the big rock.
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 pointed out 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.
It is very clear that it is the net of the Yan family, it cannot be used in vain, and the catches caught will also be given to others, and the tone is emphasized, if you really know how to get this, don’t make a fool of yourself...
The big guy was tired all day, he should have a rest, but he was disturbed by what the village chief said about buying grain, and he was sleepy, taking advantage of the fact that almost all the villagers were there, they were chattering.
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 make troubles if they don’t get ahead. When they arrive in Guanzhou, they honestly let Yan Xiucai arrange them.
On the day when they were re-registered, this group of people who were born and raised in the mountains were so excited that they wished they could yell 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 up the land and planted wasteland, and I have been busy all the time.
The mountain people spread their joy in their land.
They are a bit slow in building houses, but they are not bad at 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 in the front row.
Uncle An hesitated.
Mountain people have few opportunities to touch money.
The money that was distributed before was put in their pockets, and they were really reluctant to spend it at all.
It is the dead money that Yan Yu said.
They still had some left, and with the rations generously distributed by the Grand Master, 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 have caught hares and pheasants, as well as hedgehogs and squirrels. People in the mountains can eat them without picking.
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 grain.
but…
They are not the same now.
I don’t live in the mountains. I have land and built adobe houses under the mountains.
Do you still want to live like before?
Do you also want to learn from others and make some changes?
Uncle An's face showed a bit of confusion.
The few people surrounding 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!
In the final analysis, 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, and a few people wandered around Yan Xiangheng,
Staring at the big guys and remembering the numbers.
Yan Xiangheng is very busy here.
I just memorized the previous one, but I turned around and ran to change it.
I also changed it when I looked at the back.
I am regretting it now, I beg him to wait a while and discuss it with my family when I go back...
Miss Qi found Li Xuemei.
asked 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, and 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, which contained the amount of food his family had prepared to survive this winter.
Poured rice, fine noodles, coarse grains, coarse noodles, and various grains and beans, there are always a lot of them.
Mrs. Qi was confused when she heard it.
There are too many samples, she can't remember.
"Big girl, 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 bother with 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.
Miss Qi left happily.
After talking with Qi's old lady for a while, I decided to be the last one to go 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 silver, so it’s not easy for others to know. so real.
This night, Yan Xiangheng didn't sleep well.
One is because he can see his father tomorrow, and the other is a headache because of the number of grains reported by the village.
The next day was still dark, Madam 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 family?"
It was Hu Da who asked the question.
"Yesterday, I burned charcoal late, so I fell asleep in the woods and haven't come back yet." Mrs. Qi said.
Hu Da nodded, a little envious of the fact that Qi Da and his son could get together to burn charcoal together.
The more I stay in Guanzhou, the more I know how good this charcoal is.
Wait until winter, if you are willing to work hard, the charcoal can still be burned, and they will not be able to. 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 been changed many times is that Hu Dahuer took back the slingshot of the previous child. When he went into the mountains to dig medicine, if he saw wild animals, few of them could escape from their sight alive.
With meat in the account, the consumption of food will naturally be small.
Adding all kinds of wild vegetables mixed in, his family didn't plan to buy more at first, and calculated that it would be enough for the ration.
But they couldn’t keep the news from the village. They found out how much someone was going to buy, and how much more they added, and they also added up.
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 other families in the village, they still have to calculate the money spent. The Hu family doesn’t use it. Every time they kill bandits, their brothers don’t fall behind. The money they get is quite a lot.
With 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 people from the original village, and there are also several families from the original mountain people. They all killed the mountain bandits together and have an iron-like friendship.
Several families wanted to add up, and couldn't wait, so they ran and waited outside the yard.
It was tiring standing up, so I squatted down naturally.
Everyone didn't speak again.
Mrs. Qi went home and came again.
Wait until the early morning light.
Far away, they saw a figure approaching quickly.
Taking a closer look, it was Rong Niang who was working in Yan's house.
Lady Rong looked at them with doubts on her face.
Miss 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."
Lady Rong nodded and walked in.
Start cooking fire...
Yan Yu felt like there were flies buzzing around her ears.
She swung wildly twice, turned over, and hit the cat on one side with her face.
Maomao didn't even bother to move, opened his eyes slightly, and closed them again.
How does it feel to **** cats when you open your eyes?
happy! happiness!
Yan Yu opened her eyes, and finally heard clearly what the buzzing sound was that disturbed her sleep.
All vocals.
He listened to a few words.
She put the quilt over her head.
here we go again!
Still buy food!
This matter is impossible to pass.
Let’s not talk about other things, the paper written by big brother is quite wasteful.
Yan Yu feels distressed when she looks at it from the sidelines.
She stood up suddenly, her little face was full of solemnity.
Can't do this anymore.
Those papers are expensive!
After she quickly washed her hair, she couldn't wait for Big Sister to braid her hair, so she gathered it up casually and ran to the place where the sound came from.
"Big brother, let me remember." Yan Yu said.
Rescued Yan Xiangheng from the crowd, turned his hand over, and showed his charcoal pencil.
Really came prepared.
"Come one by one, line up."
Yan's Xiaoer Erduan looked stern, and looked like that.
Ignore what she said about the messy hair.
Compared to Yan Jiaheng's kindness and courtesy, Yan Yu participated in the settlement and distribution of money several times, virtually giving everyone a sense of trustworthiness.
Hu Dao: "Line up, everyone line up."
He naturally stood at the first place.
smiled and said: "Xiao Er, I changed the previous one for Uncle Hu's house, and I will add an extra three hundred catties."
