After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 98 The skinny camel is bigger than a horse

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman was puzzled, Qingshu sighed and explained: "This is not an emergency under heavy snowfall. The families in the west of the village don't have much surplus food. After opening the road to the east of the village, the adults want the east of the village to collect the food. Overcome the difficulties, and when the road leading to the county is cleared, the adults will double the amount of food returned to them."

Lin Xiaoman nodded, "That's a good idea."

Qing Shu spread his hands, "I don't know who said it, a drought and a snowstorm, the people in the county will not be able to eat food, even if the road is open by then, the food will not be able to be transported for a while, I am afraid that my family will Hungry, so to speak, the family is only willing to take out more than a dozen catties of food, and there are a few thorn cones that are taken directly. In the past half a month, everyone can only melt snow water to cook porridge, and the porridge is so thin that you can see the bottom of the bowl gone."

Lin Xiaoman didn't expect such a result, but he could also understand the thoughts of the villagers. The year before last, Dilong turned over, and the disaster in Hedong Village was the worst. I didn't see the county magistrate sending someone to help, and even when the grain was collected, there was no loss at all. receive.

Last year, there was a drought again, and the grain harvest was seriously in short supply. The grain was also paid in full. The remaining grain of each household, even if they save food, they will not be able to eat this autumn harvest.

If it weren't for the fact that the village has made a lot of money recently, life would be even tighter in the future. It's no wonder that everyone attaches great importance to food and refuses to take it out even if it is doubled.

It can only be said that Lu Jin, a small county magistrate, came at the wrong time and took office after the villagers had no trust in the government. This is also a helpless thing.

Lin Xiaoman was hesitating whether to say that her family had a lot of food, but she heard Lu Jin say: "The food I brought you, you should hide it well, no matter who comes to borrow food, you can't borrow it, take care of you first and your brother."

After finishing speaking, Lu Jin was about to leave, and Lin Xiaoman, who was still struggling to take it, was no longer struggling.

Although she still didn't quite believe that the two of them would eventually become a husband and wife, Lu Jin's concern was not fake, and she couldn't bear to see the little county magistrate worrying about food.

Besides, you can't just watch people starve to death, can you?
Lin Xiaoman said: "My lord, I made some food and thought that it would be sold in the county during the first lunar month, so I hoarded some food. Who knows that this snowstorm will catch up with the food, and the food can't be delivered to the county. Why don't you just buy it?" Take it out and share it with everyone."

Lu Jin didn't realize how much food Lin Xiaoman would hoard, and waved his hand to refuse when he heard the words, "How can you have enough food for your family? There are more than 300 people in the west of the village waiting to be full. Even if they drink porridge, they will spend two or three stones a day, and they don't know where to go. When will it pass. If it does, I don’t know what’s going on in the county, if your family doesn’t have dozens of grains, you’d better keep them for yourself.”

Lin Xiaoman smiled cutely, "Could it be possible for your lord to pinch and count? Our family really has dozens of stone grains."

One sentence caused Lu Jin, who had raised his footsteps and was about to walk back, to stagger and almost fell, "How much did you say?"

"A few tens of shi, I haven't weighed it yet, it's a lot anyway, the first month's business can't be done, and I'm still worried that the food will go bad if I can't finish it."

This time Lu Jin's gloomy face cleared up, "Okay, okay, you keep enough for you two brothers and sisters, and sell the rest to this official. When you turn around, whether you want food or money, this official will give you money." Pay back double."

Naturally, Lin Xiaoman wouldn't have trouble with Yinzi, anyway, the little county magistrate looked like a rich man, and he doubled what he said, and he didn't take advantage of the situation to rob.

Even Lin Xiaoman was still thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to go there to buy more grain and sell it to the little county magistrate.

It's just that they don't have much business to do there recently, and they buy a lot of things, why don't they see what they can sell there?

Lu Jin went back to find someone to carry the grain, and Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu hurriedly went to the warehouse to carry the grain back. After all, the rice bags over there could not be used here, and they had to put the rice into the big vat first. Let the people here put it back on.

Fortunately, I bought a lot of large vats of pickled sauerkraut before. Except for one vat of sauerkraut to eat, the rest were sold out.

Lin Xiaoman first made two large tanks and put them in the yard, filled with rice, and asked Lin Erhu to wait for someone to come to fill the rice, and she took the opportunity to go to the warehouse to carry the rice back in bags for leftovers. Put it in the big tank below.

Lu Jin didn't ask someone to come over to pack the rice immediately, but first cleared the last section of snow leading to Lin Xiaoman's house.

The tanks in Lin Xiaoman's house are all large, and one tank is full of five bags of one hundred catties of rice.If more than a dozen tanks are filled, it will weigh more than 7000 catties.

When Lu Jin came over with people and tools for weighing grain, he was stunned by so much rice.After that, there was a burst of cheers. With these rice, they no longer fear that the road will be blocked and starve to death.

It’s just that there is resentment in Lu Jin’s eyes. Lin Xiaoman asked if there is enough food before, and he presumably wants them to come to her house to get food when they don’t have enough food. I was hungry for half a month.

Lu Jin didn't expect that Lin Xiaoman's family would hoard so much food. After being shocked, he felt a little embarrassed. He thought Lin Xiaoman was talking big.

So, I didn't have the nerve to express my thoughts, and asked the people who came with me to quickly weigh the grain and pack it into bags.

After moving the food for a long time, in the end only half a tank of rice was left for Lin Xiaoman's family, so Lu Jin refused to let it go any further.

The grain totaled 75 shi, and Lu Jin promised to pay Lin Xiaoman and his brother double the price of grain in the city after the snow disaster.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaoman asked Lu Jin to eat glutinous rice balls at home.

The siblings love to eat sesame seeds, but Lu Jin has a special liking for fruits, pineapple, sweet orange, strawberry, each of which is delicious, which is why Lin Xiaoman unwrapped all the glutinous rice balls and put them in the Frozen in one pocket, so that he can eat so many flavors at once.

After eating the glutinous rice balls, Lu Jin drank another bowl of glutinous rice ball soup, while Qing Shu ate a bowl of pickles with the glutinous rice balls.

"Miss Xiaoman, your pickles are really good, what's in these pickles?"

The pickles are eight-treasure pickles bought by Lin Xiaoman at the wholesale market over there, and a bag costs six yuan a catty.

She didn't recognize some things, so she told them what she recognized. Seeing that the master and servant were very interested in this pickle, she went outside to find two jars, and after washing, put five bags in each jar. It was exactly ten catties, so let their master and servant take it home and eat it slowly.

After all, there is going to be a pause over there, and the dishes should be fine, even if you drink porridge, you have to order pickles, right?
She didn't mind the little county magistrate coming to the house every day for a meal, but there were so many people there, brothers like Xu Qiuliang might not be ashamed to come, they had some pickles to eat, and they wouldn't lose their strength due to lack of salt.

It's just that the bagged pickles are a bit expensive. If they feel good after eating them, she can also go to the wholesale market to buy some pickled vegetables and mix them up for sale.Some pickles only cost one or two yuan a catty, and they can be mixed with a lot.

It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. She really didn't believe that the Xu family from the west of the village really had no money. Lin Xiaoman suddenly found a business opportunity.

However, I haven't heard anything about Xu Yuanru recently, and I don't know if she has used her ability to pass through the heroine in this snowstorm?
