Chapter 166 Selling Grain
While eating dinner, there was a sudden thunder outside, which made the three brothers and sisters tremble.

An Yanshu looked at the weather outside and frowned, "It seems that the rain will not be light tonight."

"Well, I'm not afraid of heavy rain. We're all at home. It's good to stop tomorrow morning, otherwise I have to go to work in the rain."

An Zhinan looked at the dark sky with a confused expression, a light flashed in his eyes quickly.

After dinner, An Zhinan went back to the house. He slept for too long during the day and now has no sleepiness, so he can only pass the time in the house by reading and practicing calligraphy.

An Zhinan turned off the lights when the two elder brothers of the family were sound asleep, walked all the way to the main room in the dark along the eaves, and then the thunder light that appeared from time to time outside got the umbrella, and put on a coir raincoat for himself, and then braved the heavy rain towards the Swept over West Street.

After arriving at the rented house, he opened the door a few times and ran towards the main room. With a wave of his hand, a hill-like burlap bag appeared on the ground, filled with white rice and white flour, and piled up in the main room.

Then An Zhinan found a thick piece of wood in the yard, and slid it back and forth along the entire yard, creating slight marks.

After everything that could be thought of was arranged, An Zhinan left. Before leaving, he took a wooden stick and slid back and forth on the ground in front of the gate, and finally moved slowly along the gate towards the street until there was some distance. Putting the wooden stick back into the space, shaking the rain-soaked hands, looking at the traces of his manipulation, he smiled, and left gracefully.

Back home, An Zhinan didn't go through the main entrance, he just jumped into the yard, and then quickly returned to the house.

The food has been released tonight, and Liu Pei must be waiting in a hurry to go to Liu Pei tomorrow morning.

Originally, An Zhinan planned to release the grain tomorrow and find Liu Pei the next day. Thanks to the heavy rain, since the first thunder sounded, An Zhinan had this idea, which can just hide the traces and will not be suspected. After all, there will always be traces of so much food delivery, and the other party is a member of the government office. If Liu Pei becomes suspicious, it will not be worth the loss.

Looking at the drenched dress, An Zhinan curled his lips. Even if he was wearing a coir raincoat and took an umbrella, he still couldn't stop the heavy rain. Fortunately, there was still room, so he locked the door and stepped into the space, washing beautifully. After taking a shower, I lay down on the bed feeling refreshed.

When it was almost noon on the second day, An Zhinan woke up quietly, got up to wash and dry the clothes and dresses that were soaked last night, and then walked towards the front yard.

As soon as An Yanshu came out after making lunch, he saw his younger sister walking towards him. He carefully scrutinized her face and found that it was much better than yesterday, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He took a step forward and said softly, "Do you feel refreshed in the morning? I was going to ask you to have breakfast, but seeing that you didn't respond, I thought I should go to bed late last night, so I didn't wake you up, you must be hungry, the meal is ready, your second brother won't come back at noon, let's eat."

An Zhinan smiled: "Okay, I'll come after I wash my hands."

After lunch, An Yanshu went to the school, followed by An Zhinan. He had talked with Liu Pei before, and heard that he was on errand recently, so An Zhinan didn't go to his house, but went directly to the government office.

After finding the person, An Zhinan told about the arrival of the food, and saw that Liu Pei's face was flushed, and he was excited at first glance.

Liu Pei took another step forward, grabbed An Zhinan's hand, and said excitedly, "Really? The food has really arrived? Where is it?"

"West Street, I settled down there. The food was delivered yesterday afternoon. My son had something to do at that time. I wanted to come to tell you this morning. Fortunately, I didn't come yesterday because it rained all night."

Liu Pei nodded again and again: "No, the first rain in autumn was a bit heavy. Last night's thunder woke me up several times. Brother Nan, please wait here for a while. I will go in and explain to my brothers before I come out. .”

"Brother Pei has something to do beforehand, I have nothing to do, so you can wait a little longer."

"It won't take too long, I'll come as soon as I go."

Looking at Liu Pei's back as he ran away while talking, An Zhinan smiled slightly, and stood in front of the government office, allowing everyone to watch.

The end is the appearance of a jade tree facing the wind.

Sure enough, Liu Peifei ran back quickly, and it took only a few minutes before and after, with five or six people coming behind him.

"Let's go, let's go, I've called the man, and I've brought the money. Let's go early and finish the work early so that we can meet the errands as soon as possible. I'll be the host tomorrow, and we will set up a table at Leisurely House."

What else could An Zhinan say, he smiled and walked in the front to lead the way.

A group of people went straight to West Street and came to the door of An Zhinan's rented house.

Seeing Liu Pei's face full of surprise, An Zhinan explained with a smile: "I prefer quietness, and I don't like places that are too lively, so I rented a house here. The environment is quite good, please invite some big brothers, things They're all in the main room."

Liu Pei chuckled, waved to the brothers beside him, and followed An Zhinan into the yard.

"Brother Xiaonan's yard is well rented. The place is quite spacious. I'm afraid the rent is not cheap."

An Zhinan smiled slightly: "Fortunately, I found it at a dental store, and the price is fair."

Liu Pei patted An Zhinan on the shoulder, and said loudly: "If I knew you were going to rent a house, you should have told me. Anyway, at least you can save the cost of the dental office."

"Brother Pei is fine, it is right to ask someone to help with the expenses, there is no need to bother Brother Pei for such a trivial matter."

After speaking, An Zhinan led the crowd towards the main room.

Liu Pei and the others looked at the sacks piled up like hills in the main room, and everyone was stunned on the spot. Liu Pei walked up to the sacks first, took out a dagger from his waist, and cut open the sacks with a loud sound. The rice slanted out in an instant and scattered all over the ground.

Liu Pei held the white rice in both hands, with excitement on his face: "This... this is the top-grade rice, better than the top-grade rice I've seen before."

The others swarmed up, gathered around Liu Pei and stared at Baimi with wide eyes.

One of them swallowed and said, "Brother Pei, this white rice is so white."

"That's right Brother Pei, I've never seen such a good white rice, don't you think all the white rice here is like this?"

Liu Pei suddenly came back to his senses, and cut open several bags one after another, but this time he was very careful, only cut the top opening of the sack, and laughed until he was sure that the bags of rice were all high-quality white rice.

"This is good, this is great, we can finally do business."

An Zhinan stood aside silently.

It took a while for Liu Pei to react, and he walked up to An Zhinan with a few steps, put his hands on her shoulders, and said excitedly, "Brother Xiaonan, I really don't know how to thank you. I thought some medium white rice was Not bad, I never thought there would be such a good white rice, even better than the first-class white rice, I don’t even know what to say.”
