I was a farmer in ancient times

Chapter 20 Buying Seeds

From what Zhang Qing said, the village they lived in was called Zhangjiaao, and there were the most people with the surname Zhang in the village.There are less than sixty households in the whole village, and half of them are tenants of the Ding family.

Ding Rui thought, if corn is planted now, it will take four months to mature. What will these people eat during these four months?After Ding's savings were used to buy seeds, there was not much left.Are there any vegetables with a short growth cycle that can replace grain?

In the 21st century, I have never worried about my livelihood.Now that he suddenly has to face the situation of being hungry, he still can't adapt.

More than 20 people came to Lijiazhuang in less than an hour.It is more than 30 miles away from Zhangjiaao, half of which are mountain roads.

Lijiazhuang is a famous village in this area.One is because of the large population, there are more than [-] people in Lijiazhuang.In addition, there are markets here on the second and eighteenth of every month.

The market here is very lively.Because it's only twice a month.Therefore, people in the surrounding villages will sell their things during these two days.The money from the sale can be exchanged for some rice noodles by the way, or something else to go back.This is completely unfamiliar to Ding Rui.

Coincidentally today, it happened to be eighteen, so Zhang Qingding came to buy seeds today to see what else he could buy back.

As soon as he entered the market, Ding Rui was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, seeing everything was strange.

There was a little girl who didn't look very old, about eleven or twelve years old.In front of him was a bamboo basket with a dozen eggs in it.

Zhang Qing pointed out a tall and burly man to Ding Rui. The famous hunter in this area is called Li Si. Every time he went up the mountain, he never came back empty-handed.Just look at the prey in front of him.Two pheasants, two hares, and one like a sika deer.Although he is very capable, there is an old mother in her 60s who is bedridden all year round. All his savings are used to see a doctor for the old mother, so the family is poor.

There are so many things to see in the market.There are cloth sellers and vegetable sellers. . . . . .But Ding Rui noticed that there were no food sellers.He didn't know until later.The current food shortage is very tight, almost every household is not full, how can there be surplus food!

Zhang Qing led the crowd to the door of a grain store.

"Li Jialiang Store" is written in regular script on the door plaque.Seeing Zhang Qing, the shopkeeper hurriedly invited him in. "Zhang Xiucai, you haven't come for a long time!"

Although he knew that only Zhang Qing could read and write in the whole village, Ding Rui did not expect that he was still a scholar.

"Shopkeeper Li, how's the matter with the seeds?" Zhang Manifest went straight to the point.

In fact, upon seeing Zhang Qing, shopkeeper Li had already ordered someone to 'invite' someone.Zhang Qing came more than once, wanting to pay on credit.But he is a businessman, who wants to do a loss-making business?So Zhang Qing returned empty-handed every time.He also knows that if the season is missed, the land will be white if planted, but there are many poor people, and he can't give credit to them because of sympathy and pity.

He is a businessman!Not a good person!

But today Zhang Qing brought more than 20 people, and he saw them as soon as they entered the street.So he made plans early.Stabilize them first, I have already asked the guy to find someone, and when his people come, "Huh~" If you dare to come to his shop to make trouble, you don't want to get out of Lijiazhuang alive?

Zhang Qing and the others didn't know about Shopkeeper Li's calculations, so they drank tea in the shop!

"The seed business is not in a hurry. Come here from a long distance and have some tea!" Although Li's Grain Store is a bit large, there were more than 20 people there at once, and it still seemed crowded.But the enthusiasm for buying seeds has long overshadowed everything.Zhang Qing and others didn't notice Li's evasion.

But this does not mean that Ding Rui didn't realize, who is he? New humans in the 21st century, even if they have never eaten pork, have seen pigs run.From the moment he entered the door, he felt that shopkeeper Li kept rubbing his hands, which was a sign of anxiety.When Zhang Qing repeatedly asked about the seeds, his eyes shook, and it was obvious that he had something to hide.

But Ding Rui thought, since he has so many people here, he is not afraid of him. Besides, he is buying goods with money, not robbery.It was precisely because too many people came that people misunderstood.

He forgot that the most important thing between people is communication.Inadequate communication often leads to more misunderstandings.

"Who? Who is it? Who dares to act wildly on your grandfather's territory?" There was a thunder, and a big man rushed in from outside with a wooden stick in his hand.Seeing the room full of people, he froze for a moment.But only for a moment, he said again: "Who? Who? Which turtle son?"

"He, he." Apparently, Shopkeeper Li knew the truth of capturing the thief first.Immediately point to Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing saw the big man who broke in suddenly, and he was still looking for the person who the big man said was "wild".Seeing shopkeeper Li pointing at him, he was still in a fog and confused.

"Roar~~~~!" Without saying a word, the big man swung his big stick and hit Zhang Qing on the forehead. At this moment, everyone else was dumbfounded, and they didn't know what happened.
