Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

The world is like this. No matter how poor you are, there is no shortage of rich people. Businesses in county towns are not as good as those in prefectures. As long as the world has not really become chaotic, there is no shortage of affordable customers.

The bustle in the Yang family yard seems to indicate that the years are quiet and peaceful.

There was fragrant rice in the bowl, white and plump steamed buns on the table, and bowls of steaming dishes exuding the aroma of meat and vegetables.

Everyone chatted, talking about how playful and cute their children were, how healthy their parents were, and how good the weather had been in previous years. They also hoped that God would end the drought soon and provide some rain to the crops in the fields.

The meal lasted for more than an hour. Ke Muqing distributed the remaining dishes to the women who stayed to help clean up the mess, and then personally escorted them to the door of his courtyard, greeting everyone to come and pop in when they were free.

The guests have all left, and my family can finally sit down and have a rest.

"The Yang family are all good people. Everyone has a little problem, but the Yang family members are not particularly lazy or greedy. They are not difficult to get along with."

Old Mrs. Ke sat there and patted the back of Ke Muqing's hand, "When your father proposed a marriage for you, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep well for several nights, but you kid had no idea that your father had good intentions."

Ke Muqing smiled. The original owner would only look at the superficial appearance and compare with his sisters. How could he know how much Ke Xiucai had to do for his daughter. Ke Hongxiu and Ke Xuelian had to go back to the county, so they sat for a while before preparing to leave.

Ke Muqing sent a few people to the gate, but couldn't help but hold Ke Hongxiu's hand and tell them, "Plan everything in advance and prepare for the worst."

"Since the Lou family's business is going to continue, we need to prepare more food as soon as possible. I know a grain merchant from out of town. If your Lou family needs it, I can help you connect." Ke Muqing said, "You can give me the rice I use at home today." He also ate it, it’s all good food, two pounds of rice costs seven cents, and he still has some food in his hand that he wants to sell, both fine and coarse grains, if your family wants it, let me know.”

Ke Muqing bought it from the mall for only two cents per pound, but if she also gave the Lou family two cents, the price would be too cheap, which would make people suspicious.

With the current grain prices outside, two kilograms and three pennies are a good price that you can't even find with a lantern.

Lou Guangdeng stood aside and listened, and said hurriedly, "Sister, we don't need to go home and discuss this matter with my parents, my wife and I can make the decision! The rice and flour used by the eldest sister today are newly produced. It’s not an old item, and the price is definitely a bargain.”

"Food prices have increased outside. How can this store you know give you this price?" Ke Hongxiu asked.

"We met Yang Daniu when we were walking in the streets. Yang Daniu helped him before. Now he still has a lot of food left in his hand and wants to sell it quietly as soon as possible for money. If he makes a big deal and uses this price to sell food, he will be gone in two days. We will be run out of money by other grain stores."

"So he only secretly seeks out those of us who he trusts to sell his grain. Don't worry, he always gives the goods first and then pays for them. I guess they also want to clear the goods quickly and exchange them for money, which is what he did. Prepare to move your whole family.”

Ke Muqing's story was very logical. Lou Guangdeng and Ke Hongxiu didn't hear anything wrong, so they agreed and nodded in agreement.

At this time, food prices have risen, and ordinary people are not willing to spend so much money to buy so much food at once and put it at home. They are waiting for new food to come out in two months, and food prices will drop a bit.

This story also makes the Lou family feel a little bit in crisis. People who trade in grain have to move their families. Do the Lou family really not think about it anymore? "Sister, we need one thousand kilograms of rice and five hundred kilograms of flour. If there are various kinds of beans and the price is right, each kind will cost five hundred kilograms." Lou Guangdeng said.

"He has all the green beans, red beans and soybeans!" Ke Muqing agreed, "He will secretly sell the food to you, and you should also secretly receive the food. With so much food, don't let outsiders know about it. Find someone in your family who knows it. There is a place to hide, and if there is not enough manpower, ask a few of my children and Huan Zhang and the others to help."

"Listen to eldest sister, it's really hard to let people know that our family has bought so much food at once. By then, everyone will know about the trouble. Who knows whether we will be targeted by someone in the future." Lou Guangden said. Thank you.

The two couples were delayed for a while because they were talking to Ke Muqing before finally getting on the carriage. Now the two couples were full of gratitude to Ke Muqing. When they said goodbye and left, Ke Hongxiu was very reluctant to leave.

After sending Ke Hongxiu away, Ke Muqing turned back to talk to Ke Xuelian and Yin Tang.

"If you have anything to buy, such as grain or something, make a list for me when the time comes. What do you want and how much do you want? I have a way to buy it cheaper than outside, and the goods are good. It's hard to make money these days. I can save a penny." The money is a penny.”

"Listen to eldest sister, let's go back and discuss it with our parents, and ask someone to deliver it tomorrow. I'll ask eldest sister to help me then." Yin Tanggong agreed, then helped his wife get into the carriage, and left with the child.

After sending the two sisters away, Ke Muqing returned to the yard. Several children were talking to the old lady about making dumplings that night.

"Dad, Mom, you live closer to the town. Eat at my place in the evening and then go back. Make dumplings tonight. There are so many people and we can make them quickly." Ke Muqing persuaded her mother's family to stay. After Ke Xiucai nodded, Ke Muqing looked at Yang Xiu Fang and Yang Xiuxiang said, "You sisters, come to my room."

Both sisters are married and have elders to take care of at home. The journey back is not that close, so naturally they plan to go back early.

"Close the door after you come in." Ke Muqing said without turning around, then reached out and took out two heavy bundles from under the quilt.

After Yang Xiufang and Yang Xiuxiang came in, Ke Muqing handed one over.

"This is the money my mother gave you to keep at the bottom of the box. Think of it as the dowry that your mother should have given you back then but she kept it until now."

Yang Xiufang opened it and was shocked. "Mom, how much money is there?"

"One hundred taels for each of you." Ke Muqing said, "This is also life-saving money for you. You have to hide it well. You only know it, and don't even tell the people next to you."

"Money and silk touch people's hearts. You don't know what the situation will be like in the future. Now it seems that both sons-in-law are good. But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst. What if it comes to life and death? Money can open the way, and it can also It brings courage and confidence. You have money in your hands, and it is easy to find people to do things, so I can feel more at ease."

With the mall buyer's version, Ke Muqing has decided to leave enough food for the two sisters Yang Xiufang to last half a year in the Yang family's small cellar.

This money is for the two sisters to deal with emergencies.
