Nongmen Space: I pampered the first assistant villain

Chapter 154
The two of them were talking in the private room, and the cook in the kitchen at the other end almost scratched his bald hair in worry.

"Why not? The sudden heavy rain has washed away the farmland, and the food shortage in the town is so bad, how could it be possible that there is not even a decent big carp?"

"Do you know that braised koi is the best thing for our boss?"

The servant who went to buy it carried two palm-sized crucian carps and said with a puzzled face: "Hey, there really aren't any. I have traveled all over Ququan Town, but I didn't find a big carp. I heard people say that in our town, we don’t know which member of the staff is going to make a whole fish feast, and he bought all the big carp, and there is not a single one left.”

Not only did the folks at Ji Ren Tang not get it, but other big families in the town who wanted to eat this bite also couldn't get it.

Immediately, the one who was going to hold the whole fish banquet scolded the bloody sprinkler.

The culprit, Xia Xiaoqiao, didn't know this at all.

Her heart is bleeding right now! ! !

There is no way, the 300 taels of silver in my hand, I spent dozens of taels of silver on the purchase of land and house building earlier, and now the remaining two hundred or so taels are all accounted for here up.

Now it is really cleaner than the face.

"Sister-in-law, are these rice seeds from our village?"

Lu Dashan looked at the carts full of grain seeds, and he was stupid, or in other words, everything he did today was too crazy.

First they bought fish all over the town, and after selling all the fish, they thought it was over.

Unexpectedly, I started buying cloth again!
That's all for the customer to buy fish. They say they make salted fish for rations, but why buy that carload of cloth?
He was confused and asked his sister-in-law, but she said she didn't know either.

Therefore, he could only conclude that the customer had money to burn.

That's all, what made them even more dumbfounded was the carts of rice seeds in front of them.

Nowadays, everyone is crazy about grabbing food.

But I never expected that my sister-in-law could get so much, I couldn't believe it.

"Yes, these are the rice seeds of our village, cousin Dashan, you have to be careful."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xia Xiaoqiao repeatedly urged: "I have a little friendship with that customer. These rice seeds are all given to our village on credit. You also know the current situation. If there is a mistake—"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will be here when we grow rice."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately expressed their opinions and cheered up. Even if they tried their best, they must not lose the rice seeds.

This is the hope of their whole village.

Xia Xiaoqiao was very satisfied with how much they cared.

"Well, let's go, and get to the village early, so you don't have to worry about it."

When everyone heard this, they immediately started driving to the village.

When we came, there were six people in one bullock cart, but on the return journey, it became five bullock carts, full of goods.

Everyone else leads the bullock cart.

Xia Xiaoqiao was the only one lying on the sack blowing the evening breeze.

Yes--

After collecting all the big carp in the town, it was actually one thousand points less than the five thousand points budgeted for.

It is several times away from the number of [-].

If you continue to collect fish, you may have to collect these points for several days.

But time waits for no one, one time is all it takes, if you collect fish with such a big fanfare every day, you will definitely be targeted.

Xia Xiaoqiao had no choice but to give up this path, and turned her abacus on the cloth line.

Although it costs money, it is convenient, trouble-free and safe.

When there is a famine like this, everyone wants to exchange all the silver for food, but less attention is paid to the cloth. The people in the cloth shop also want to exchange silver for food.
Just give money.

So, the two hundred taels of silver in Xia Xiaoqiao's pocket were all folded here.

But just when Xia Xiaoqiao tried her best to get rice seeds in the village.

The Zhou family was full of joy.

"Azhu is really good at predicting things. Now the price of food has skyrocketed. Now it has more than doubled when we bought it."

Mother Zhou was very happy.

Even Zhou Juren, who had been very displeased with Zhou Mingzhu recently, his face softened a lot at the moment.

"Yeah, the price of grain has more than doubled now, and there are rare goods to live in. Now there is not much surplus grain in the rice store in Ququan Town. Not only in Ququan Town, but also the surrounding villages and towns with a radius of hundreds of miles have been destroyed by the heavy rain. When it comes to more or less persecution, I am afraid that other towns will also be quite stressed."

Zhou Juren's eldest son, Zhou Jianren, talked eloquently, and then regretted: "If I had listened to Ah Zhu at the time, I would have bought more and sold it in the next few days, and I would have made a lot of money."

Others were deeply impressed when they heard the words.

"Brother, father and mother, it's the same if you believe me now."

At this moment Zhou Mingzhu finally felt elated.

"This food must not be sold now. It has already increased so much at the beginning. It will only become more expensive after a month or two. It is not impossible for five taels of silver and one stone."

"What? Five taels of silver for one stone?"

Zhou's mother's eyes widened in shock after hearing this, this, didn't this increase ten times all of a sudden?
"More than that."

Zhou Mingzhu said with a determined face: "Aniang, when people have nothing to eat, what is money?"

In the dream, she could remember clearly that the heavy rain not only washed away the fertile fields, but also destroyed the houses, and many refugees appeared.

Everyone was displaced, because of the lack of harvest and the price of food soared, not to mention five taels of silver for a stone, and people bought it for ten taels of silver.

For example, the Wang family she married into in the dream?

Just because there is not enough food left in the family, there is no choice but to buy food at a high price, and it is fine for the family to eat, but also to support a family of servants, forcibly eating up the family's fortune.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingzhu suddenly looked hard and said: "Father, mother, brother, it's not too late, let's send people to Lingzhou City to buy food, we must hurry, I'm afraid we won't be able to get this wave of wealth if it's too late." gone."

"what?"

Mother Zhou's eyes widened in shock, "Are you still buying it? Our family has already bought a lot."

Isn't it enough to install the grain in three warehouses?

"Of course we have to buy it, and we have to buy a lot, A Niang, there is only one chance, if we don't grasp it firmly, how will we turn around?"

Zhou Mingzhu's eyes were full of determination and greed.

"Father went to Beijing to take the exam many times, why did he lose his name? Do you really think that my father is not as knowledgeable as those people?"

"No, that's because there is no money to open the way, and there is no introduction of famous teachers."

As soon as these words were said, Zhou Juren regained his energy in an instant, straightened his sitting posture and said, "Azhu's words are reasonable."

Although he now has a big belly and looks like a greasy old man.

But even if he was beaten to death, he would never admit that it was his lack of knowledge.

It must be because there is no money to open the way, and no introduction of famous teachers caused the failure.

It has become a heart disease for Zhou Juren to fail to be a Jinshi for so many years. Now after hearing what his youngest daughter said, he instantly found the reason.

After Zhou Mingzhu got her father's affirmation, her back became even harder.

"Now that the elder brother's township examination is coming up, we must not follow my father's old path. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to earn a lot of money. When the time comes, father and elder brother will have a double examination. great joy."
