Dressed as a villain's wife

Chapter 13 Bathwater Is Water
People in number one hundred fell silent after hearing the sound of the gong, and they all just looked at Shen Dashan under the tree and waited for the next sentence.

"Today, I called everyone to the entrance of the village because I have something to say."

"What's the matter?"

Someone in the crowd yelled.

Shen Dashan glanced at the man who spoke, and continued after he closed his mouth, "Yesterday I asked the two brothers Qingchuan and Qinghe to go to the grain store in the town to inquire, and now the price of grain has risen. I still have a little money in my pocket, and now that it’s not too high, I’m going to the town to buy more grain and save it. I’m afraid the price of grain will rise again later.”

"No way."

"Isn't it the autumn harvest?"

"After the autumn harvest, the price of grain will definitely come down, right?"

A group of people started talking in low voices.

Every year, the gap in food prices is the largest before and after the autumn harvest. Before the autumn harvest, it will be more expensive. After the autumn harvest, there will be new grains, and the food price will fall again.

Although the year is not good this year, if the price of grain drops after the autumn harvest, won't they lose money if they buy grain now?
Everyone was discussing, all clamoring about the grain price in previous years, Shen Dashan didn't say much, he just planned to wait for them to calm down before continuing to ask questions.

"It's been drought for more than half a year this year, how much grain do you think can be harvested in the field?"

Shen Dashan looked at the crowd and asked back.

"What if, what if it rains in the next month?"

Shen Dashan looked at the person who asked the question, and only asked, "Then what if it doesn't rain?"

The faces of the people have already collapsed.

Yeah, what if it doesn't rain?If it doesn't rain, there will be no new grain, and if there is no new grain in the warehouse, the price of grain will inevitably rise sharply. I'm afraid that at that time, it will no longer be whether to buy grain, but whether it can be afforded.

Someone from the clan elders in the village said: "If you want me to say, if you are really afraid of suffering this loss, you can buy some grain and put it at home. If it rains, it won’t hurt much.”

Some people nodded in response to what the clan elders said.

They are all farmers who plan food on the ground, how much silver can anyone have?

Most families can earn six or seven taels a year. Excluding the family’s food, drink, and various taxes, it is not bad to save two taels of silver a year, but if there is a wedding or funeral in the family Marriage, I'm afraid I have to spend all my savings.

"Now the grain shop in the town sells old rice for six yuan, new rice for fifteen yuan, white flour for fifteen yuan, and black flour for five yuan. Salt is already fifty yuan a catty, and oil costs forty yuan. You should take advantage of the weather now. Good morning, go back and discuss with your family, hurry up and go to the town to buy food."

Shen Dashan paused, and then said: "Remember to come back before noon, call someone who can go to the field at home, bring a basket and a basket, and gather here. There is another big event. If anyone misses it, they will regret it later. Don't blame me for not telling me. clear."

After speaking, he waved his hands and took his two sons back home.

Notifying him is the notification, and the villagers can't control whether they listen to him or not. My family has to go to the town to buy food. After all, my family doesn't have much food, although there are three hundred catties of sweet potatoes. , but you can’t just eat those ones.

Moreover, my daughter-in-law and a few grandchildren had to eat some white noodles. Although their Shen family was not very rich, they definitely couldn't do anything to treat their daughter-in-law harshly.

Originally, the villagers still had some doubts, but seeing Li Zhengdu and his two sons driving an ox cart to the town, they seem to have reacted, and went home to discuss with each other.

Nanzhi and his party on Dongshan Mountain were so busy that they wished to fill up all the baskets and baskets they had brought.

Aunt Liu returned home with only her two daughters-in-law and youngest son.

Thinking of running out of time, Nanzhi almost didn't press the chestnuts out of the sparks, and finally packed forty catties together with the dog.

Aunt Liu's family pretended to weigh more than 130 kilograms.

Watching the sun rise gradually, several people walked to the village with their backs on their backs. At first, they were worried that they would meet the villagers, but Nan Zhi even thought about his words, but he didn't meet anyone until he returned home.

After making an appointment with Mrs. Liu to have lunch and rest for a while, and then go to the town to buy food together, Nanzhi returned home with the blushing dog.

She just suffered from heatstroke yesterday, and now she dare not run around in the middle of the day, otherwise even if a box of Huoxiangzhengqi water comes, she may not be able to save her life.

Seeing the dog tired and about to fall asleep as soon as it stuck to the pillow, Nanzhi felt pitiful, took the water and wiped his face, and let him fall asleep first.

Looking at the white noodles in the clay pot, Nanzhi gritted his teeth and dug out a bowl, and made two bowls of hand-rolled noodles.

Looking at the two bowls of white noodles with clear soup and little water, Nanzhi remembered the unpalatable beef noodles that he complained about in school, and only hated himself for being so ignorant back then.

After lunch, Nanzhi couldn't stand the sour smell on himself and the dog, so he fetched two buckets of water from the well and the two of them took a bath. Nanzhi was satisfied after smelling that the strange smell was gone. nodded.

The cleaned dog looked unexpectedly white, and Nanzhi looked at it with emotion, her son was actually quite handsome.

Seeing a thick layer of dirt floating on the surface of the water in the bucket, Nan Zhi shuddered, dragged the wooden bucket and dumped them into the vegetable field in the backyard.

Bath water is also water, anyway, there are no vegetables in the fields now.

After taking a piece of clean clothes and changing the dog's body, he took him to Aunt Liu's house.

Aunt Liu, who opened the door, saw the clean Nanzhi and his wife, and she was stunned for a while before she recognized them.

"Girl Lin, are you taking a bath?" Aunt Liu said with some distress. The water from the well at the entrance of the village has slowed down a long time ago. Now everyone divides the water according to the number of people, let alone taking a bath. Not even water to wash your face.

Now in the whole village, only those with wells seem to be clean.

"I felt a little dizzy today, so I simply washed it off."

Aunt Liu thinks about it too. After all, Nanzhi just got hit yesterday. Although it is said that it is a scrape, it is good to wash it. Besides, the well is her own, so she didn't say anything more.

In the end, Aunt Liu took her three sons with her. After all, she was buying food. Their family has a lot of people, so they must buy more food. The three sons of her family are all tall and big, and they are not afraid of anything. As for the family's two daughters-in-law and three children, they followed Li Zheng to pick chestnuts on Dongshan Mountain.

Only Nanzhi, Gou'er, and Aunt Liu were sitting in the donkey cart, and the three strong men followed around the donkey cart, looking as if they were not to be trifled with.

Nan Zhi led the people straight to the restaurant, and it was still the same round-faced boy from last time who greeted the guests. After seeing Nan Zhi, he didn't recognize him for a while, and only after hearing her speak did he realize that it was a regular customer.

He smiled and greeted people to sit down before going to the backyard to find Steward Wang.

When Guanshi Wang heard that it was Mrs. Shen who sold straw mushrooms last time, he followed Xiaoer out of the backyard without delay.

Just the four catties of straw mushrooms from last time made him several taels of silver.

I only hope that Mrs. Shen can bring some good things this time.

"Miss Shen." Steward Wang saw Nan Zhi and was about to say hello, but he saw a woman and three strong men sitting on the side, and stopped what he said.

"Wang Guanshi, I brought my aunt over to sell some chestnuts. I wonder if you still accept them?" Nanzhi looked at Wang Guanshi and asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Manager Wang was still a little disappointed, probably because there were no more straw mushrooms, but he also nodded: "Accept, I just don't know if it's as fresh as last time?"

"Naturally the same."

Hearing this, Guanshi Wang was not too surprised, but secretly regretted that there was nothing good this time, so he took them and his group to the backyard.

When the outsider was gone in the backyard, Nan Zhi asked again: "I don't know if Manager Wang accepts wild game here."
