Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 74
"That can be sold to another family." Lu Jinyao was a little confused.

Ma Changyuan shook his head: "Yao Nizi, you don't know. There is only one food store in the city, which is run by the Diao family. There were other stores in the past, but they were all driven away by the Diao family. Now people nearby can only buy and sell food. Go to Diao’s grain shop. However, if you’re lucky, you might be able to buy some at Daji.”

Lu Jinyao thought about it carefully, and there was really only one food store. Although she didn't know the market price, when she went to buy rice noodles, she also felt that the price was really expensive.Later, grains such as wheat and rice were produced in the space, so she stopped going to the food store.

It turns out that there is still the Diao family's monopoly here.

Diao's family is covering the sky with only one hand nearby, it really is a very troublesome existence.

She put down the tools in her hand, ran to Lu Bingwen, and told what she had just heard.

Yun Zeyu frowned when he heard the words: "The Diao family didn't know what was going on this year. They tried their best to lower the purchase price, but the price of the grain they sold went up instead."

"I heard that the grandson of the Diao family was accepted as an apprentice by a spirit king. The Diao family is probably relying on this relationship, so they dare to be so arrogant." Lu Bingwen looked disdainful.

Lu Jinyao thought: If the food cannot be sold, the villagers themselves can't eat that much. Isn't this going to kill people? How dare the Diao family be so rampant.

"Spirit King..." Yun Zeyu looked helpless, "If this is the case, the Diao family will be arrogant for a long time. People with spiritual roots are very rare, and with the teaching and support of the Spirit King, in the future Around here, I'm afraid the Diao family is the Emperor of Earth."

Wouldn't that be bad!Lu Jinyao shuddered all over.

If Diao's family is really thriving, then my family really has nothing to do.When it comes to power, they have the backing of the Spirit King; when it comes to financial resources, they are the biggest rich man in the locality;

No matter how you look at it, your own family is completely defeated!
Speaking of it, Lu Jinyao also felt that his family was unlucky enough.

Although there are good and bad relatives in other people's families, no matter what, I have never heard of a relative like Lu Suzhen!

My family is all honest people, and relatives like Lu Suzhen and Diao Deyi are not necessarily to be played around with.

Lu Jinyao couldn't help frowning, and began to think about how to solve this matter if the Diao family attacked the Lu family.

At this time, Yun Zeyu said again: "Recently, the oil price in the city has also risen, and it was also the Diao family who raised the price later. But the strange thing is that the Diao family has lowered the purchase price of peanuts again."

The use of peanuts to squeeze peanut oil for consumption has only flourished in this dynasty.

There are many types of vegetable oils in the previous dynasty, and there are already arrangements. "Ointment and oil products" in "Tiangong Kaiwu" records: "For all oils for food, flax, radish, soybeans, and cabbage seeds are the top, followed by suma, brassica, and amaranth seeds. , marijuana, for the next."

In the current dynasty, peanuts were planted in large quantities. Not long after the founding of the country, there was a record saying: "Peanuts are the first among southern fruits... During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, cotton, melons, sweet potatoes, etc., were estimated to be obtained from the sea countries. It's... Ordinary cups are burning, and peanuts must be used, so from the morning market to the night market, they are rotten and starry. If it grows on the seashore, it is best to extract oil, so from Fujian to Guangdong, everyone eats peanut oil and anoints it as a lamp for night. This work has now spread all over the seaside provinces, and it has brought great benefits.”

Therefore, there are peanuts grown locally. After the peanuts are ripe, most of them are sold to oil mills for oil extraction.

However, most ordinary people eat animal oil, such as lard, at home.

The price of peanut oil is not close to the people, and the Diao family has to raise the price.

Raising the price of finished products on the one hand, and desperately lowering the purchase price of raw materials on the other hand, the black heart of the Diao family can be seen.

But for some reason, Lu Jinyao had a vague feeling that there seemed to be something behind the Diao family's raging money.

Gossip less, Yun Zeyu didn't have dinner at Lu's house, he is the young owner of Renhetang, he has a lot of things to do every day, so Lu Jinyao didn't ask to stay.

There was nothing to say all night, the next day was still dark, and when the stars were still hanging in the sky, and when Lu Jinyao was preparing herbal meals, there were suddenly anxious footsteps outside the Lu family's door, and it was obvious that the person who came here must be very heartbroken burn.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud knock on the door.

"Open the door, open the door! Open the door!"

"Hey, hey, here we come, here we come." Lu Jinyao didn't like this way of knocking on the door very much, it made people upset and said nothing, and the knocker was so rude.

As she walked slowly over to open the door, she said, "Who is that outside the door? I didn't say, this door is made of wood, but your hands are fleshy. If you break your hand again, we have to pay for it." It's not worth it to call a doctor for you..."

After taking down the latch, Lu Jinyao opened the door. Before she could see who was outside the door, she saw a black figure, like a gust of wind, about to rush into the yard.

But the man forgot that although the door was opened, the threshold was not taken away, so he fell directly into the yard with his head.

"Look, look, what I said, I'll knock you sooner or later." Lu Jinyao put the latch aside and looked closely, feeling that this person looked familiar.

Before she remembered where she had seen this person, the person suddenly got up with a grunt, rushed straight into the yard, and shouted loudly: "Old Immortal, help me! Immortal Doctor, please! Help my young master! Old Immortal, Immortal Zhuge, help!"

Is this here to ask Zhuge Yuanying for help?
Lu Jinyao's eyes sank slightly, she was very unhappy now.

This early in the morning, with such a voice, it is estimated that even the neighboring villages could hear it, let alone people from the Lu family.

Lu Jinyao got up an hour earlier than the crowing rooster because of the preparation of the medicinal food. At this time, the rest of the Lu family is still sleeping.

The person who came here was fine, with a loud voice, I'm afraid that even the dead could be woken up.

Among other things, Lu Jinyao, who was standing next to him, felt pain in his ears, which shows how loud this person is.

After the man finished shouting, he rushed to the door again, looked outside, but saw no one, then turned around and saw Lu Jinyao standing at the door, rushed over, and shouted at her: "Does the God of Medicine live here?" ?”

Saving people is like putting out a fire, and it is understandable to be anxious.As a doctor, Lu Jinyao naturally understood this.So although she was very unhappy, she didn't show it, but nodded and said: "Yes, that's it."

"Are you sure?" The man stared at her blankly, then shouted again.

Lu Jinyao frowned: What does this person mean?
But she still said kindly: "Sure."
