Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 162
After talking about the matter, Jiang Zhiyue left, but before leaving, he gave Qin Jin two hundred taels of silver to let them tidy up the shop first, and then buy all the things needed in the backyard.

Qin Jin moved very quickly, but within three days, all the shelves in the shop were ready, and all the big and small sacks were fully stocked.

It happened to be the end of the month, and Jiang Zhiyue went to the town with a small basket on her back, took out two thousand catties of all kinds of food in the space, and stacked them neatly in the house.

She also deliberately found some sacks for grain in this era, and put the grain in it.

After busying with these things, Jiang Zhiyue was already sweating profusely from exhaustion. It was still exhausting to change so many things into bags and then take them out.

She locked the door and went to a noodle stall in the town to order a bowl of noodles.

After eating the noodles, Jiang Zhiyue walked around the town again before going to the courtyard behind the grain shop.

The grain store hadn't opened yet, so Jiang Zhiyue couldn't enter through the front door, but entered the small courtyard behind the grain store through the small door that entered the courtyard three times.

When Jiang Zhiyue passed by, Qin Jin was taking Feng San and Feng four brothers to tidy up the yard.

In just three days, the place has been sorted out in a decent way, and there is no way to see that this yard has not been lived in for a long time.

There are quite a few rooms in the yard, they reserved two rooms for resting, and even tidied up a kitchen room, saying that there was no need to go out to buy every meal.

The other houses were reserved by them to store the grain brought back.They haven't gone to the yard where Jiang Zhiyue puts the grain.

The three of them obeyed the rules set by Jiang Zhiyue very much, and did not go to that yard at other times of the day set by Jiang Zhiyue.

Today happened to be the last day of this month, and Qin Jin planned to wait until evening to bring Feng San and Feng Si to fetch food.

Otherwise, with such a big commotion, everyone's attention must be drawn to that small courtyard.The sound of Jiang Zhiyue opening the door successfully attracted the eyes of the three busy people in the yard.

They knew that the house connected to this place also belonged to Jiang Zhiyue, so they didn't put a bolt on the door here.

No, Jiang Zhiyue really came from here.

Feng San and Feng Si greeted with a smile, "Miss Jiang."

Jiang Zhiyue also responded with a smile, and asked casually, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Feng San smiled and said: "Not yet, the stove has just been set up."

Qin Jin also said: "Young lady came by coincidence, after finishing this work, let's go out to eat."

Jiang Zhiyue heard that they hadn't eaten yet, so she put the basket on the table beside her and said, "I've already eaten, I guess you don't have time to eat, so I bought something for you when you came here, and you can eat it when you're done." ate."

The three quickly smiled and thanked: "Then I would like to thank Miss Jiang."

The three of them kept their hands on and continued to finish the last bit of work in their hands.

Jiang Zhiyue went straight to the kitchen and took a few plates out. After washing them, she put the food that had been smuggled out of the space in the basket into it.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know what they all liked to eat, so he randomly took out a few.

A roast duck, a plate of pig's trotters, a plate of hot and sour chicken feet, a plate of cold lotus root slices, and a plate of cold black fungus. In addition, more than a dozen large meat buns and vegetarian buns were brought out.

Because these are all taken out of the space, they are all cold, but most of them are cold dishes, so I am not afraid that they will be suspicious.

Although the buns are cold, they are still soft and don't delay eating.

When the three of Qin Jin packed up their things and saw Jiang Zhiyue's things on the table, they were all very pleasantly surprised.The three of them reported to Jiang Zhiyue what happened in the past few days while eating.

The grain shop has been taken care of, and the only thing left is to put up the plaque and bring the grain over.

"We have also inquired about the price of food. The current price on the market and the previous price are available. We have set the price for the period after the store opens."

As Qin Jin spoke, he took out a small notebook, in which he remembered everything clearly, and Jiang Zhiyue could understand everything at a glance.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the things recorded on it, and it was much more comprehensive than what she knew before she decided to open a grain shop.

Jiang Zhiyue nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "Then how is the plan you mentioned complete?" Qin Jin said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, everything is ready."

Jiang Zhiyue looked at him like an old fox, and didn't doubt the authenticity of what she said.

In addition to them, there are three grain shops in this town, two of which are owned by wealthy merchants, and the other is run by the Fourth Prince's subordinates under the guise of a merchant.

Qin Jin had inquired about this, and Jiang Zhiyue looked at the Juxin Grain Shop recorded in the notebook about the fourth prince, and an evil thought came to her mind, she wanted to slaughter the fourth prince.

She said to Qin Jin who was eating: "This Juxin Grain Shop, they have the fourth prince and imperial concubine as their backing, and their financial resources must be stronger. You can get more out of their hands."

Qin Jin was taken aback when he heard this, and asked suspiciously: "This fourth prince, has you ever provoked a girl?" Otherwise, why did you specifically order him to cheat more on the fourth prince's grain shop?
Jiang Zhiyue said angrily: "No, but they bullied A Ming in the capital! I want to vent my anger on him."

Don't think he doesn't know, it's the fourth prince who has done bad things to A Ming's family and even killed A Ming.It took Qin Jin a long time to react before he understood who Jiang Zhiyue was talking about A Ming.

Qin Jin laughed a little when he heard Jiang Zhiyue's childish words.

At this moment, there is actually someone who is so sincere to Shizi.

If that arrogant prince knew, the corners of his mouth would be raised to the sky.

Qin Jin is of the same generation as King An, and can be regarded as half of Ouyang Ming's elder.

When he was sent to this small town, he didn't quite understand why, but now he understands a little bit.

With this Miss Jiang here, Shizi should be worried about other people coming to do this task.

After the meal, Qin Jin carried back the plaque of the grain shop and hung it up. On it was written the four big characters of Taiping grain shop. It was Qin Jin who had Ouyang Ming's characters printed on it, and the characters were elegant and unrestrained.

The location of the grain store is very good. When Feng San and Feng Si hung up the plaques, all the pedestrians coming and going saw it.A passer-by who could read read out loud the four characters 'Taiping Grain Shop'.

Hearing that it was a newly opened grain shop, passers-by stopped to watch, Jiang Zhiyue stood in the crowd and watched together.

The chatter of the stoppers also reached everyone's ears.

"Our town is not too big. There are already three grain shops. Why open another one? The price of grain is ridiculously high now, and no one will rush to buy it."

Passers-by echoed his words one after another.

"Yeah, what's the difference even if we open another one? I see, even if this grain shop opens, no one will patronize it." "If their grain price is lower than the other three, I'd like to buy some."

"Return to the Taiping grain shop, in this world, there is no such thing as peace."

Passers-by chatted non-stop, Jiang Zhiyue hid in the crowd and listened quietly, Feng San and Feng Si who hung the plaque didn't talk to each other.

The news that another grain store opened in the town quickly spread to every household, including the other three grain merchants.

Without exception, none of the three grain merchants took the matter from the servants to heart.

It's nothing more than a matter of adding another grain store, and it can't take away much business from them.

Soon these people will regret their thoughts now.

Because they were not only robbed of their business, but also lost a lot of money.

There is really no place to cry out for injustice.

But these are all things for later, Feng San and Feng Si just hung up the plaque at this meeting.

After hanging up the plaque, the two said a few words about the opening tomorrow and let everyone come to cheer, then closed the door and went back to the yard.

In the middle of the night, Qin Jin took Feng San and Feng Si to push the cart to the small courtyard that Jiang Zhiyue had mentioned.

They still underestimated the amount of these grains. When they saw the grains piled up in the house, they were so shocked that they almost forgot what they were going to do.

Feng San excitedly ran to the house and opened a bag of grain, grabbed a handful and put it in his hand to look at it carefully.

He said in surprise: "Mr. Qin, they are all good food."

"Where did Miss Jiang get such a friend? She can get so much food. I'm afraid it's not something ordinary people can do."

Qin Jin warned: "Don't inquire about what you shouldn't know, let's just do good things for the prince and the son."

Feng San and Feng Si repeatedly promised not to ask around, and then the three began to carry the bags of grain onto the cart, and then pulled them into the shop one after another.

The night was silent, only the panting of Qin Jin and the three of them and the sound of the wheels rolling.

They thought it would be enough to have a few hundred catties of grain for the first time, but who knew there was so much, and it took them a whole night to pull all the grain into the shop.

The three of them took a short rest and waited for the opening at noon the next day.

After going back yesterday, Jiang Zhiyue told her family that she was going to town today, and asked a few people to go to town with her.

Jiang Zhiyue's purpose for letting them go to the town was also to clean up the Sanjin house together.

That way, if they have something to do, they don't have to rush back.

Jiang Yuchao could also bring Wulang Liulang and Ming Yixi Ming Yuanqing to live there, instead of running back and forth in the town and village all day.

The Jiang family knew about buying the house, but they really didn't know about opening a grain store in the town.

Jiang Zhiyue only said that Ouyang Ming arranged for someone to open the shop.

But the Jiang family thought that when Li Wen came to their house for dinner last time, he said he couldn't buy food, so they knew that this shop must have something to do with Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Yuchao took the four children to school as usual.

Except for a few old people and Xiao Wang who were at home with their two children, everyone followed Jiang Zhiyue to the town.

Jiang Dalang and the others haven't gone to the county to find a suitable school again, because they found that Mr. Bai is more knowledgeable than Bai Yifeng, so they regarded him as their teacher.

So even old Mr. Bai said he was going to town to join in the fun.

If the house in the town is suitable, he will take Jiang Dalang and the others to live there and teach them lessons.

Desired for what they wished for, several people went to the town together.
