Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 300 Selling rice or stealing money
After breakfast, Jing Yunyan was worried about the village head, so he explained to Shu Yingtong and led Dali out of the house.

Mrs. Qin was holding a pottery basin and a wicker basket on her arm. She bowed and stood in front of the carriage, followed by Chuntao who was holding a basket.

"Ma'am, it's all packed."

The bay red horse raised its head from the basket, snorted unhappily at them, and kicked its hooves on the rammed earth.

Shu Yingtong straightened up and patted the crumbs on her hand, then stretched out her hand and patted it on the head, "Be quiet."

After speaking, he turned around and glanced at the things in their hands, "Give it to me."

She took the kang potato and salted edamame and put them into the carriage, looked through the basket Chuntao handed over, took out the powdered sugar paper bag and two rice bags and handed them over.

"Changsheng and Chuntao followed the children of my village and called my husband and aunt. According to his rules, there are auspicious red envelopes. He doesn't care about these trivial matters now. It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days. These are for you to make zongzi for the festival. "

"Don't dare dare..." Mrs. Qin repeatedly waved her hands and refused, "The family has neglected the distinguished guests, and they have got delicious food and seeds, so I dare not ask for these again."

Not to mention the leftover white rice, the half bag of glutinous rice and powdered sugar are now precious things.

The couple were cured, and they ate other people's food for two consecutive meals, which already owed a great kindness.Now take it again, I dare not be so shameless.

"It's not for you. Your parents are born because they look like my younger brother. My husband likes him very much. I think it's a good match." Shu Yingtong stuffed the things into Chuntao's arms, "After the autumn harvest, bring their siblings to Huanshan Village as guests. .”

Mrs. Qin knew that she had an uncompromising temperament, and it would be useless to be polite, so she smiled shyly along the hair next to her ear.

"My little monkey dares to talk to my wife's younger brother. I will have the cheek to accept my wife's wishes. After the autumn harvest, I will definitely go to thank my wife for her kindness!"

When the smallpox is over, she will go up the mountain with her mother-in-law to pick up mountain goods to save some money, and then she will definitely go to pay her respects formally.

"En." Shu Yingtong responded lightly.

Anyway, their family will also have a bullock cart, so it will be convenient to come and go.

Shu Yingtong poked his head out and glanced at Jing Yunyan who was walking back from the other side of the road. The mud on his boots had already covered the uppers, and he shook his head helplessly.

Bending down, picked up the basket and hung it back to the back of the car, got on the car and picked up the reins, "Let's go first."

The aunt came out with a bunch of yams, "Xianggu~ don't hurry~ take this with you!"

Shu Yingtong looked at the large string of muddy things with a complicated face, "No need."

This thing is very troublesome to handle, and it has to be scraped, and it has to be rubbed into a paste with a brush and bowl.

It's okay to eat, let her do it by herself
forget it.
"Take it with you, my son likes to eat it~ There are so many ways to make this yam~" the aunt smiled and twisted the long vine of the yam into a knot and hung it on the car board, "If it rains, I will take it to the car Go inside, don't take up space."

Shu Yingtong exhaled helplessly, this is not a matter of occupying space or not.
Jing Yunyan frowned, rubbed the mud off his boots by the ditch, swung in the ditch a few times, and silently complained that the road in this village was really hard to describe.

It’s better to go to Huanshan Village, the main road is paved with bluestone slabs, and the small road is paved with cement cobblestones.

"Dali is still helping in the village, Tongtong, let's go." He stepped onto the front carriage, took the reins and drove the carriage out.

Qin's and the others went all the way to the intersection before walking back three steps at a time.

It rained heavily overnight, the unpaved official road was difficult to walk, there were many small puddles, and the carriage was very bumpy.

Shu Yingtong wanted to catch up on sleep, but after only sleeping for a while, she was jolted awake.

Except for Yuanxian County, where the grassroots organize all the people to build roads on their own, other counties can only rely on corvee workers, but there will be no time before the Dragon Boat Festival rainy season, and they have to build rivers and canals.

The people only care about their own one-acre three-point land, and the county magistrates are not willing to put down their faces like An Xingzhou and personally go to the grassroots to mobilize the people.

The matter of road construction will not be implemented for a while.

He should have gone straight to Fanling City, but because of Dali's affairs, he had to go to Junxian County.

It was cloudy and rainless, and the two ate kang potatoes for lunch.

The deep purple potato paste is spread into thick cakes with thin oil, topped with sweet wine and sugar water, even if it is cold, it has a unique flavor.

The road near the county town was much smoother, Shu Yingtong dozed off for a while, and when various noises woke her up, the carriage had already entered the county town.

She moved to the window and opened the curtains to take a look out. There was still an endless stream of people doing business on the street, and the noise came from the grain store on the street.

With a tall facade, the door of the shop was only half opened, and a middle-aged man with a mustache and a big belly blocked the door with his back leaning on his back, with a big smile on his face.

A large group of people surrounded the door of the shop, three floors inside and three floors outside.Judging by their attire, they are all people from the middle and lower classes of living.

"Why did the price increase again! I'm still letting you live!"

"It's only been a few days, and it's almost tenfold. Are you selling rice or stealing money!"

"I'll buy it, I'll buy it, the shopkeeper quickly asks someone to move the rice out~"

"That's right, if you don't have money, go ahead and argue, don't get in the way, you can't afford it, we can afford it!"

The smile on the fat shopkeeper's face never fell, he clasped his hands and fisted with a smile.

"Excuse me, guest officers~ This price of food is not something I can decide on, right? You can go to another food shop and ask, it is also at this price~ It is difficult for us to do food business~"

"Now the official roads are closed everywhere, and the river terminal does not allow us county merchants who have reported the epidemic to approach. Our food is brought back by carts on small roads. When we encounter bandits who rob the road on the road, we have to fetch water. Piao. Tell me, is it easy to bring back such a small amount of food after a lot of effort~"

The fat shopkeeper stretched out his right hand with a wry smile, turned the back of his hand and slapped his left hand with a look of distress.

"Don't complain, everyone~ It's not that we want to increase the price, our purchase price has also increased~ We can't do business at a loss, right? If we don't buy now, the price of food will continue to rise. At that time, we won't even be able to get food. Come back, even if you have gold ingots, you can’t buy food~”

"That's right. If you can't afford it, get out of the way. The shopkeeper, I'll buy it! Who knows how long the smallpox will last, and life will be hard when food runs out!"

"Yeah, yeah, please let me go, my wife is still at home waiting for me to carry rice back. If I don't have any money, I can save more. If I don't have food, it's really expensive. I want to buy it too!"

The fat shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "That's the reason. We don't have much food coming in, so the price can't be compromised anymore~ If you want to buy it, hurry up, I don't know what the price will be tomorrow~"

Shu Yingtong lowered the car curtain, twitching the corners of his mouth.

This kind of profession really does not distinguish between eras, it has existed from ancient times to the present.

She moved to the door and opened the curtain, "Let's go, I won't go to the county government office with you. It's getting late, so I'll find an inn to stay in. I'm wandering around the county town, and I'll be back before Xu o'clock."
