The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 15

"Cousin, I'm only telling you this, and I won't admit it when I go out of this door. Now there are big canteens everywhere in the countryside, and a group of people eat and drink, and they don't save at all. When have we ever lived like this? Days, how big is the gap like this. Cousin, you are the accountant of the brigade, so you must know better than me."

"In the countryside, if there is no food, how can the city do well? There will definitely be food shortages in the future, so my family will find a way to store food. Cousin, if you have a connection, you can also store some food. Who can say what will happen next .”

Zuo Lin and Zaba Zaba spit out a mouthful of thick smoke.

Sighed: "Actually, I also know. Many knowledgeable people in the commune are already secretly storing grain. This is already an open secret. Ordinary villagers have no choice but militiamen come to collect grain directly. Most of them are brigades and a few The leader of a small team falsified the account, deducted it from the company, and saved it."

Slowed down and continued: "It's also a crime, but fortunately the situation in our village is better..."

The two sighed for life.

Only then did Yan Jiecheng explain to Zuo Linhe: "Cousin, I came this time to see if there are any mountain products and prey in our countryside, as long as they are edible."

Zuo Linhe didn't answer Yan Xiecheng's words, but frowned and asked, "Could it be this serious?"

Yan Jiecheng could only nod silently.

"Cousin, let a few acquaintances first secretly look for wild goods. Anyway, the canteen will confiscate what you keep at home, so why not secretly exchange some money with me as an emergency."

"However, we must let everyone keep their mouths shut and don't talk about it everywhere."

"Xie Cheng, don't worry about that. After all, our Zuojiazhuang is a family. There are no people with other surnames. The village is united."

"Take grain harvesting as an example. In those villages with complex households and many conflicts, the members' households have completely harvested grain. In fact, every household in our village has some grain in storage."

The two of them didn't sigh any more. After all, the two of them are not the saviors, and they can't care about others, so how can they care about others.

Leaving Yan Xiecheng at home, Zuo Linhe went out to contact him.

In less than an hour, Zuo Linhe came back, took off his hat, took a sip of water and said, "There is no food, but there are a lot of non-staple food."

"They're all apricot skins, almonds, walnuts, persimmons, hawthorn slices, mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, and dried radishes. Do you want them?"

"Yes, how can I not, as long as it is edible, I will not refuse."

The two summed up the prices, apricot skin, almonds, walnuts, and hawthorn slices, all of which are calculated at ten cents per catty.

Mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, and dried radishes are all calculated at two cents.

After the two made up their minds, some villagers came to the door one after another with bags and baskets on their shoulders.

Yan Jiecheng stayed in the main room and did not show up. Zuo Linhe negotiated with everyone in the kitchen.

Yan Jiecheng looked out of the window, the villagers were in a hurry, they didn't speak when they met each other, as if they didn't see each other.

After a while, Zuo Linhe walked to the main room.He whispered to Yan Jiecheng: "Uncle Fifth, he brought two dried rabbits. He asked for a bit high price, forty cents a catty, which is [-] cents per catty, so I would like to ask if you want it?"

Then he said: "The old fifth uncle is a hunter. The eldest son in the family is three years older than you. This year we talk about marriage, and we will marry after the next year. No, money is not enough, if you can help, please help. "

Yan Jiecheng thought for a while and said, "Give him forty-five cents, calculated according to the price of pork."

Zuo Linhe looked at Yan Jiecheng in surprise, and asked, "Thirty-five cents is fine, but this price is not worth it. You are at a disadvantage."

"It's okay, Uncle, this rabbit won't be weighed when it's dry. Besides, since Old Fifth Uncle is a hunter, if he finds something good in the future, he won't think of me first."

"That's right, okay, then interpret it according to what you mean."

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Yan Jiecheng entered the courtyard with a bag on his shoulders.

Fortunately, his house is in the front yard, and the door god is his father.

Otherwise, there will be another disturbance.

When the three little ones were already asleep at home, Yan Jiecheng poured out the contents.

Carefully fold the bag and put it away.

This bag is a cloth bag that has turned yellow from washing and was sewn with a bag of flour. It was borrowed by Yan Xiecheng from Zuo Lin and his family, and he will have to return it next time.

"This, this, so many." Yan Bugui flipped through some dry goods and said.

"It's a pity that they are all dry goods. There is no food, and the current rural areas are not easy."

This big bag of things cost a lot of money, Yan Xiecheng spent a total of more than 19 yuan.

Fortunately, fungus, mushrooms, and ground vegetables can all be soaked.

"You, you are still too young to know how to live. How much does it cost? This rabbit costs [-] cents a catty. How can it be the same price as pork."

"Here, Boss, let's talk about it. I won't reimburse you for the extra money you spent. Besides, look at the fungus you received. It's too small."

"Okay, okay, Dad. Remember to leave me a few catties of jujubes to soak in water to drink, and put the rest in the cellar and hide them quickly. I don't want you two elders to reimburse you, it's my filial piety to you two."

Although Yan Pugui disliked the bad and expensive things, he still wanted to reimburse Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was angry and funny.

My father is really picky and principled.

Seeing that Yan Xiecheng didn't want the two of them to pay, the old couple immediately praised how plump the jujube was.

When the time comes, Yan Bugui hides good things.

After leaving the cellar, there was another round of calculations. According to the old couple, this little thing can help the whole family save a whole month's rations.

After the old couple finished their calculations, the third mother heard Yan Jiedi crying, so she went to coax the child.

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng embarrassedly and said, "Boss, can I use one of your rabbits?"

Yan Jiecheng thought to himself: Could it be that he is greedy and wants to eat rabbits? In his heart, his father is a restrained person, which is not like him at all.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? I'm going to visit the old man." Seeing the look on his boss's face, Yan Bugui knew he was thinking wrong, so he hurriedly said.

"Mister?" Yan Jiecheng was puzzled.

"Hey, it's your father's teacher back then. This matter has to start with your stingy grandfather." The third mother answered after coaxing Yan Jieyan.

"In the past, your grandfather was pulling foreign cars in a car dealership, and he often pulled a teacher from a school."

"The old man has no children, so your grandfather asked your father to wait at other people's homes every day."

"It won't be long before the old man will teach your dad how to read and write. Just like this, your grandfather succeeded in calculating, and your dad can be regarded as able to read. By the way, old man, what did the old man teach you?"

Yan Bugui recalled his experience of going to school in his youth with a sad face.When the third mother asked, she said:

"The old man is a traditional literati. At that time, he taught me in his own home. First, he taught me to read hundreds of surnames and the Three Character Classic, and later learned the rhyme and the Thousand Character Classic."

"I read some Tang poetry, the Analects of Confucius, Zengguang Xianwen, Guwen Guanzhi, etc. I also taught the newly compiled Mandarin at that time."

"The old gentleman has a lot of knowledge, and he has no reservations about me. He also donates some words from time to time. Later, he even recommended me to work as a teacher in the National Fourth Primary School."

"The old man is addicted to alcohol and loves to eat meat. It's just that you know the situation in our family these years, so I'm not preparing..."
