The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 145 Fighting against famine (1)
"Bullshit! Are you hallucinating? Why didn't I hear the noise?" Shito said lazily, "Besides, your eldest brother's family has more children, which is not much better than ours! You also get food Yes, beautiful you..."

"You can't afford it! You can't afford it!" Hai Yueying was furious, her temper rose, she gathered the last bit of strength in her body, and violently shook the stone's shoulders.

"Oh, oh...don't shake it, don't shake it, it's going to fall apart. I'll get up, I'll get up, can't I get up!" Shitou couldn't hold back Hai Yueying, he put on his clothes and got up, muttering Cursing, "Fucking old women! I really don't want to let me live in peace. Just now, I was dreaming about a big chicken leg. I just wanted to chew it. Hey! Damn it."

Hai Yueying and Shitou walked out of the gate, and sure enough, they saw the old lady and Mrs. Chen just pushed the cart into the yard.

"Mother—sister-in-law—woo woo, you're here!" Hai Yueying let out a pain, and rushed over, throwing herself into the old lady's arms, almost pinning the old lady down, "Woo woo, are you here?" If you come a step late, you won't be able to see Yueying!"

"Ah, daughter-in-law, look, there are so many delicious foods!" Shito yelled, his eyes were like hungry wolves, he let go, grabbed a raw eggplant, and stuffed it into his mouth.

When Hai Yueying heard that there was food, she was not far behind. She pushed the old lady away, not caring to wipe her tears, and ran over, cursing, "Damn it, whatever you rob is mine! Save some for me!" I!"

The old lady and Mrs. Chen looked at the husband and wife, burying their heads in the basket and eating fiercely, standing there blankly, with black lines all over their heads...

With the help of fruits and vegetables sent by the old lady and Mrs. Chen, the life of the Shi family was better, and they did not starve to death in the famine.

After a few days, the old lady and Mrs. Chen wanted to go to the fence to take the pig out for sale, but they were surprised to find that the originally thin pig had grown many times.

"Daughter-in-law, is this our pig?" The old lady rubbed her old eyes and said in disbelief.

"This...it doesn't look like it. Why are our pigs so big? So fat?" Mrs. Chen was also puzzled, walked a few steps around the pigsty, and nodded firmly, "Mother, it's not our pigs. Pig! Look, on the back of the pig's buttocks, there's still red you ordered!"

"It's strange. The famine is so severe that other people's pigs are losing weight day by day. Our pigs are not fed much. How come they grow so fast?"

"I can't figure it out either." Chen shook her head honestly and confused.

"Never mind. You can't find a second pig in Qingshui Village for such a big pig! Look at the fat, it's so strong! It's sure to sell for a good price!" The old lady laughed when she thought of the vain money. He narrowed his eyes, "I really want to kill it and eat it, but I have to keep it and sell it for some silver, and exchange it for more food reserves. This famine may last for a long time, and we have to plan for a protracted war."

"Grandma! I want to eat pork." Dabao rushed over and said coquettishly, "It's been a long time since we have eaten meat at home."

"My dear grandson, don't be shallow-sighted. After grandma sells the money, I will buy you some good food." The old lady hugged him distressedly and coaxed him.

The next day, the old lady drove the pig to the county market. As expected, the pig weighed 50 catties and sold for [-] taels of silver.

The silver in her hand was shining in the sun. The old lady looked at it for a long time, and she was cruel. She stomped her feet, turned around and went to the grain and oil store, wanting to replace it all with rice.

The old lady looked up and saw that the golden lacquered signboard said Lin's Rice Grain Store.

The Lin's Rice Grain Store is a time-honored brand, and it is owned by the Lin family, a big family in the county. It is said that money can make millers push ghosts, and the Lin family has great influence in Tianfu County. To save face, it is true that both black and white have to give up three points.

The properties of the Lin family spread all over Tianfu County and surrounding towns, including Shuanghe Town. Lin's gambling house, Lin's brothel, Lin's grain and oil store, Lin's silk and satin shop can be seen everywhere on the street. There is no one who does not get involved.It would be an exaggeration to say that out of ten signboards knocked down on one street, seven of them could belong to the Lin family.

The old lady kicked a huge sum of 50 taels, held her head high, and stepped into the rice store, looking left and right with her head poking around.

The tall boss in the shop is "crackling" thinking about the calculation. The price of grain has been rising these days. The boss has stored several warehouses of grain, but it is really going to make a fortune.This boss, the worship of his boss in his heart is like the flood of the Yellow River, stretching endlessly.Mr. Lin of this owner is really the number one smart person, he is born to do business, in the harvest year of farmers, when the price of grain is the lowest, he suppresses the price of grain again and again, sends people to the countryside to buy in large quantities, and hoards it in the warehouse In the year of famine, it was sold at a high price.How many warehouses are full!In times of famine, food is more expensive than gold!The Lin family is in Tianfu County, and they are already a wealthy family, and they are not even richer.

The clerk in the store was holding a feather duster, swiping left and right, seeing someone entering the shop, his face was happy, and when he took a closer look, it was an old lady in shabby clothes, his face immediately turned down.Grain prices are so expensive these days, and the people who come to the store to buy are either rich ladies or rich wives, and they are all owners of money. Why are these old ladies from the country here to join in the fun?Is there any silver to buy it?Didn't he go crazy to grab food?There are many nursing homes in the Lin family. If so, this old lady is too overwhelmed.

"Go and go...beg for food and go somewhere else!" The shopkeeper winked, and the clerk impatiently chased away people with a feather duster.

The old lady was very angry, sneered, and went straight to the counter, with a loud "pa—" she slapped the 50 taels on the counter. The wife was about to beat herself, but unexpectedly, she took a closer look and saw that there was an extra silver ingot on the table.

The shopkeeper's expression softened a lot when he saw Qian's eyes wide open. Anyone who does business has to worry about money.He hurriedly waved his hand to signal the buddy to step down, picked up the silver ingot, weighed it, and confirmed that it was real, then smiled quickly on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't get angry, old lady, that buddy is a newcomer. Yes, you are so stupid that you have offended the old lady, I will accompany you."

"Hmph, that sounds like a human saying!" The old lady raised her eyebrows, puffed her chest out, and gave the shopkeeper a haughty sideways look with her small eyes.It's different if you have money. You bastard is different, so you have to be polite to my old lady?

"Is the old lady going to buy food?"

"It's really interesting what you say. You don't buy food, so you come to your shop to beg for food?" The old lady rolled her eyes and replied bitterly, letting out a big breath of suffocation in her chest.Being an old lady is annoying.

"The old lady is joking, the old lady is joking!" The shopkeeper wiped off his cold sweat, and with a smile on his face, he led the old lady to a row of neatly arranged rice cabinets, pointed to dozens of kinds of rice and said, "There are different kinds of rice here." The price of rice is different. Old lady, how about trying this kind? You see, this is the new rice of this year. It is white and big, and it is soft and delicious when cooked."
