Chapter 183 Preparations before hoarding again (updated)

Seeing that the conflict became acute, the people at the same table began to pull the old woman away, and persuaded in a low voice: "Okay, don't say a few words, go back quickly."

"I know your grandson is very smart and wants to learn from Dr. Tang, but why are you offending Dr. Tang now?"

"Yeah, go back quickly. It's a happy day. Tell me about yourself. Why are you talking about it?"

The old woman was unwilling, but in the end she didn't drink too much, and she didn't make too much trouble on the wedding day, so she stopped being aggressive and turned to leave.

Tang Zangyue didn't pursue it any further, but left after drinking two cups.

On the wedding night, Jiao Er was anxiously waiting inside the house, waiting for the groom to lift his hijab.

The bridegroom came smelling of alcohol, and when he took off his hijab, he made a fuss on the kang, "Jiaoer, I finally married you back..."

While washing the water, Jiao'er whispered to her husband, "This time, the old madam added a lot of makeup to me. That's the amount."

The sister-in-law in the corner didn't hear the specific amount, but she knew it was a lot of money.She couldn't help but enviously said to the man: "Look at other people's natal family, it's different if someone supports the scene, and I don't know how much dowry they bring. Hey, you have confidence."

Her man turned over, ignored him, and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know why women compare to everything.

……

Apart from the marriage of Zhang Jiajiaoer, among the people Tang Zangyue knew, Shi Jingqiu also got married in April.After she got married, Shi Jingqiu rented a yard near the "Chuyu" shop and started her career as a designer.

On Shi Jingqiu's side, Tang Zangyue did not attend, and only asked the shopkeeper Chu to accompany the ceremony.

The matter of taxation by the imperial court has a great influence on shopkeeper Chu.

When I go to the county town every month, shopkeeper Chu will complain to her once, "The state of Chu has started to collect taxes, and the people are miserable. I heard that some places have messed up. Doctor Tang, you must go there again next month. outside?"

Tang Zangyue thought for a while, and said affirmatively, "I'm going." Not to mention that there are not enough things in the space, she doesn't plan to go to various places to collect supplies in the last year, at least she wants to leave a way for the people to survive.

In troubled times, silver and gold are not as important as a handful of grain.

Shopkeeper Chu wrote down what he wanted in advance, and asked Tang Zangyue to help him bring it. The latter folded it and put it in the armhole, and actually put it into the space. He replied, "Okay."

After thinking for a while, Tang Zangyue said again: "The higher-ups have started to collect taxes, coupled with the increase in border inspections, and the Xiongnu are staring at them. Shopkeeper Chu should make more preparations."

Shopkeeper Chu was still happily settling the accounts. Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "Is there any explanation for this?"

"An explanation? I can't talk about it, I just feel that this peace is going away from us."

Shopkeeper Chu: "Then what is your suggestion, Doctor Tang?"

"Store food."

Shopkeeper Chu wondered for a while, would it not be enough if he just hoarded food?This is the border gate, when the Huns entered the country, even if the family had a full granary, it might still be the first Chinese meal for that foreigner.

As soon as the idea came out, seeing Tang Zangyue thinking about something, the doubts in Shopkeeper Chu's heart dissipated instantly.

What he can think of, doctor Tang can't think of?The reason why I didn't mention it was because I had other ideas.Thinking about Dr. Tang's extravagance before he was exiled, I'm afraid there are people in the capital, so some of his ideas are ahead of his time, so I would like to remind myself a little bit by the way.

He asked more, afraid that it would make Doctor Tang unhappy.

Shopkeeper Chu changed the subject and said, "Then Doctor Tang, where can I store the food I bought..."

where to store.

Tang Zangyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and began to look at shopkeeper Chu.

Immediately, she smiled like a flower, "If shopkeeper Chu trusts me, you can give me the money to buy the grain. Then we will check the account and keep the place where the grain is hidden. It will be safe and will not cause shopkeeper Chu to suffer in the future."

Shopkeeper Chu has also made a lot of money recently, so he immediately took out 500 taels of silver notes, and said, "You can continue with Doctor Tang's work first, and I will look at it next year, and then I can buy more food."

Tang Zangyue nodded, "Since shopkeeper Chu trusts me so much, I will also give shopkeeper Chu a hearty word. Most of the things I bought in other places in May were grain. And if the quantity is large, it will be cheaper than the market price." Buying at a low price will not cause shopkeeper Chu to suffer."

"Doctor Tang, your character, I can trust you."

Tang Zangyue opened up about this matter, and she went to Dr. Xue to persuade her again.But Dr. Xue is a true philanthropist. Except for the need to run his own mansion, he has nothing to do at other times. However, Dr. Xue’s daughter-in-law was originally a distant relative of the Luo Mansion. The family is quite prosperous, and there are dozens of boxes of dowry.

Hearing Tang Zangyue's statement that there will be troubles in the future, hoarding food is the kingly way, and Doctor Tang has a special storage channel, so Xue Luo took most of the dowry and handed it to Tang Zangyue.

Tang Zangyue felt that this silver ticket was heavy.

Xue Luoshi: "Doctor Tang, we know that you have an unusual status. If you really want to go to Chu State to cause chaos, I hope you can protect our family. Even if you can't protect us, these silver taels...at least ensure that our family will not be short of food." Yes, it should be possible, right?"

Of course Tang Zangyue nodded, "Of course."

At the end of April, after the profit of "Chu Yu" was calculated, the shopkeeper Chu sent the dividends to Xiao's family, and after Tang Zangyue exchanged them for cash, he began to prepare to start again.

The learning shed couldn't stop, so Tang Zangyue handed over the basic medical knowledge to Xue Yingxue and Xiao Zhongran, and asked them to replace her to teach the shed girls.

There is no need to worry about Liu's restaurant, there is nothing missing, except fresh meat.But shopkeeper Chu can solve this problem. He was originally in the grain shop business. Before he and Bai Dong’s had a fight, he also provided meat channels, but there was not as much meat as Tang Zangyue’s space. It had to be limited, and the price had to go up. The price has risen one after another, and the price is almost the same as that of another restaurant under the Baidong family in the town.

There was nothing else going on at home, the second separation, Ling'er did not make a fuss for the first time, and even comforted her in reverse: "Grandmother, remember to come back as soon as possible, Ling'er will miss you."

It took about a month to go out last time. I don’t know how long it will take to return this time. Tang Zangyue only told the long-term worker at home. When he didn’t come back in June, he picked and dried the peppers and spices that she had spent a lot of manpower and material resources in the field. .

Tang Zangyue stroked Sister Ling's hair and said, "Grandmother will miss our Sister Ling too."

She had to come back before the end of June at the latest, this was her promise.

This time, her destination is Mengle, which is the future Xishuangbanna, next to Myanmar and Laos.

Tang Zangyue has a bad impression of Myanmar, but you can go to Laos to have a look. Many tropical fruits are from these places, and Lao coffee is also very famous, but I don’t know if it would have happened in ancient times when there were no overseas trips. There is coffee in abundance.
