Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

Chapter 190 Solved his urgent need

Fortunately, the weather was cold and no one passed by, otherwise Taoxi would have to spend a lot of effort to hide.

Suddenly, Jian Shiming's whistle came from not far away, and she quickly pulled herself together, first quietly poked her head out, and found that it was Jian Shiming who was leading Gu Yan and the others, so she lowered her guard.

"Sister-in-law."

Gu Yan came down from the sled, and since Gu brought the sled home, he ordered someone to make a few of that sled.

Behind the two of them were more than [-] young soldiers who were brought out by Gu Yan to protect the food.

"Master, Mr. Gu."

Tao Xi greeted him with a smile all over his face, "Hurry up, everyone warm up first, or your fingers will almost freeze to death."

"it is good."

Gu Yan nodded, and followed Jian Shiming into the ruined temple. When he saw the grain piled up in the ruined temple, he was almost shocked into a fool.

"Is this... this... is this all done by your friend?"

Gu Yan almost bit his own tongue, this is not just a little food, it weighs several thousand catties by visual inspection.

Although it is definitely not enough for the huge Yun County, it has relieved a lot of pressure on him.

"Yes."

Tao Xi proudly raised her small chin, especially when she caught a glimpse of the little soldiers behind Gu Yan with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, she found it interesting.

Jian Shiming coughed lightly at the right time, "Master Gu, my wife has tried her best, if you think it's not enough, there is nothing we can do."

He made a distressed look on purpose, making Tao Xi dumbfounded, whether Jian Shiming has a black belly or a black belly.

Sure enough, Gu Yan looked like you were thinking too much, with a smile all over his face, and his voice was a few degrees louder, "Enough enough, if there is less food, we will send less.

It's not easy to get food in this cold weather, just don't freeze to death and starve to death. "

In addition, he has already tried to find a way to transfer from the surrounding area if it is not enough. In short, this batch of supplies has solved his urgent needs.

"That's enough. My friend said it was all he had left."

While talking, Tao Xi dug out some roasted sweet potatoes from the fire and handed them to everyone one by one.

"Come on, eat a sweet potato to warm your stomach first."

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

Gu Yan is full of gratitude, his eyes are full of sincerity, no matter how she got this thing, he is extremely grateful to the couple.

The young soldiers excitedly took the sweet potatoes handed over by Tao Xi, and devoured them hungrily.

"delicious!"

"This sweet potato is so sweet, it would be great if I could eat it every day."

"Don't even think about eating it every day, as long as you don't starve to death."

"..."

Listening to the words of the young soldiers, Tao Xi couldn't help but feel sad, this is really a tough time.

But there was only so much she could do, and it was unimaginable to take out several thousand catties of grain, and Tao Xi didn't want to take any more risks.

After everyone ate the sweet potatoes, they felt their bodies warm immediately, and the young soldiers who drove the carriage to pull the food also came one by one.

Tao Xi quickly distributed some baked sweet potatoes to them, and she said to Gu Yan after eating:
"Master Gu, my friend is a very good person, and she couldn't bear to see the people go hungry, so when I approached her, she agreed to help us get food without hesitation.

Of course, it was also because we were lucky that the batch of grain my friend was going to sell just arrived, otherwise it would not have been so fast.

But she told me that there are twenty stones of sweet potatoes and twenty stones of potatoes. These sweet potatoes and ten stones of potatoes were sold to you, but the ten stones of potatoes were donated to the common people by her.

As for the four stones of dried vegetables, they are also sold to you, can you accept it? "

Twenty stones are equal to [-] catties, Tao Xi calculated clearly, but Gu Yan did not agree.

"No, no, no, your friend is a businessman. She is benevolent and righteous, but we can't take advantage of it, so we must count all the money."

How difficult it is to find food at this time. A few days ago, the county magistrate asked wealthy businessmen to buy food. Not only did they not donate, but those people even drove up the price.

In such a comparison, Tao Xi's good friend is really a good person with great love. As that person's friend, Tao Xi is also a good person.

"Master Gu, this is what my friend told me, I can't make the decision."

Tao Xi looked distressed, "She is also for the common people, so please accept it, Mr. Gu.

As for the price of these grains, it is based on the market price, five cents a catty. "

"sky!"

A young soldier couldn't hold back his exclamation, but was slapped on the head by Gu Yi, and he stood up awkwardly.

Gu Yan was moved in his heart, but still sternly refused, "Sister-in-law, I know that you are thinking of the people, but these few hundred taels of silver may be a huge amount for ordinary people.

But for those wealthy businessmen, it is just a drop in the bucket. This time we will find a way to make those people bleed, not a benevolent businessman like your friend to pay the bill. "

"Others are others, I... my friend is my friend, Mr. Gu, don't talk too much, let's settle the matter quickly, otherwise it will be inconvenient when it gets late."

Tao Xi was very insistent, she got the space is already God's only favor, that little material is just a matter of a few nights of hard work for her.

So she didn't feel bad after donating.

Jian Shiming also chimed in, "Brother Gu, my wife can't make the decision either, I think we should do as she says.

If you are really sorry, we will talk about it next time we cooperate. "

He looked at the little woman in front of him softly, Gu Yan didn't know, but he knew that the food belonged to her.

Although I don't know how she got it, Tao Xi's image in Jian Shiming's heart is infinitely elevated at this moment.

Of course, she didn't know it herself, because Gu Yan had no choice but to compromise and asked the young soldiers to weigh and load the sacks piled up in the ruined temple one by one into the carriage.

In the end, he gave Tao Xi two hundred taels of silver bills, and Gu Yan felt very embarrassed when he gave them.

"Sister-in-law, the remaining ten taels is a reward for you and brother Jian, and I hope you don't dislike it."

"Thank you!"

Tao Xi was very satisfied, the 200 taels was nothing to Gu Yan, but except for their family, the entire Taomu Village probably didn't have 50 taels in total.

This time she's mostly out to do good.

"Brother Jian, let's go first, and you all pay attention to safety."

Gu Yan urged the young soldiers to hurry back and strive to distribute relief food to the nearest villages today.

After everyone left, Tao Xi looked at the banknote in his hand and laughed at himself: "Actually, the one thousand catties of grain donated is still in the 200 taels of silver."

"In any case, you did a good thing."

Jian Shiming's words brought back Tao Xi Piaoyuan's thoughts, he looked serious, "Lady, don't think wildly.

These grains are life-saving grains for our Yun County, maybe it can save the lives of thousands of people, so you have done a good deed. "

"I know."

Tao Xi put away the banknotes, and said happily; "Anyway, I'm a little rich woman now, let's go back."

She extinguished the fire, too lazy to think so much, as long as it could solve the current crisis.
