Cannon fodder also wants to live (through the book)

36 Chapter 36

Farmers rely on the weather to eat, but this year, the weather has been smooth and the price of food has dropped. Many people are not reconciled.

Zhang Caixuan didn't know outside, anyway, everyone in Qingshan Village didn't sell grain.Plan to wait, the price of grain will fluctuate throughout the year, and sometimes the price will increase when the grain is about to be recovered in the second year.But I am also afraid that the price of grain will be lower at that time, and the more we release it, the more we will lose money.

And if the food is kept at home, we must always pay attention to moisture and insects. If we accidentally get wet, the price will only be lower.

After chopping firewood for a few days, Zhang Caixuan discussed with Qin Surin: "The price of food is cheap recently, we have to buy food anyway, why don't we buy it now?"

This is what it should be. No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it. Now that food is cheap, it is common to buy some back.

Over there, Yang Xuan'er had brought back two carts of food without hesitation. She had a good relationship with the villagers, so when someone asked, she said that the food was cheap now, so she bought some and put it away.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it would be very normal for Zhang Caixuan and Qin Sulin, two people who also had no food, to buy them back.

At night, Zhang Caixuan was lying on the bed, the moonlight shone on the ground, revealing a coolness. It had not rained for more than a month, and the weather might change someday.

"Shall we go early tomorrow?"

Qin Surin stretched out his hand to embrace her, and hummed lightly.

Zhang Caixuan had something on her mind, she didn't sleep very soundly, she didn't know how long it had been since she was half asleep and half awake.Looking at the dark sky outside, she got up and dressed gently, and went to the kitchen.

,all in

The firewood is ready-made, and she quickly cooked the porridge. The aroma of the rice grains is tangy, and most of the rice in Nanyue Kingdom is yellowed, so the porridge is also light yellow.

This is not a problem with rice, but that the yield of this yellow rice is higher than that of white rice, and the price is also cheaper.

Zhang Caixuan doesn't plan to buy any white rice, just buy this kind of yellow rice, as well as wheat and buckwheat, you can bring back some.

Holding a bowl of porridge, she was meditating in the kitchen, thinking about how much she had to buy.

"Caixuan, why are you so early?"

Qin Sulin's voice suddenly sounded at the door, Zhang Caixuan looked up and saw the worry on his face, forced a smile and said: "I can't sleep, let's go to the capital to buy rice, and go out early."

Qin Sulin came over, took the bowl in her hand and put it on the stove. The porridge in the pot was boiling suddenly. Qin Sulin didn't look at it. He put his hands on her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and asked seriously: "Caixuan, what's wrong with you? I can see that you are unhappy.", all in

Zhang Caixuan lowered her head. She wanted to buy a lot of grain, and it was impossible to hide it from Qin Surin, but she couldn't explain why she wanted to buy grain, and she couldn't tell him that this was a novel, and the weather would change suddenly in the future. To produce so much food, we have to buy more and store it up.Otherwise, you will be hungry...

People who have land are just hungry, and those who don't have land can only wait to starve to death.

She lowered her head, feeling Qin Sulin's worried gaze on her head, and suddenly thought of Yang Xuan'er.She raised her head and said: "Su Lin, I had a dream last night. It will be very cold in a short time, and some people will even die from the cold, let alone growing food."

Qin Sulin loosened his brows, relaxed his whole body, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said with a smile, "You can wake me up and tell me if you have a nightmare."

His tone was casual, obviously he didn't take it seriously, Zhang Caixuan was not in a hurry, just said: "I said yesterday to buy food, and I had this kind of dream last night, do you think we should buy more?"

Qin Surin didn't care, "You can buy as much as you want."

Zhang Caixuan put her arms around his waist and buried her head in his arms. If she hadn't met him, it would be very difficult for her to collect food by herself, even if she had money.

After the two drank the porridge, they went out under the moonlight. The carriage quietly left Qingshan Village and headed for the capital.

The Nanyue Kingdom was founded hundreds of years ago. The capital city has a large population, and there are many shops of various kinds. There are countless grain shops inside. Most of the food is shipped from other places. Among them, Tongcheng, which is two hundred miles away from the capital city, can be called the largest of the Nanyue Kingdom. The granary, the annual production feeds one-third of the people in Nanyue.

The weather is good this year, the grain output is [-]% higher than before, and the grain price is cheaper.

Qin Sulin's carriage went in as soon as it opened the city gate, before dawn, and went straight to the grain store on the street.

Eighteen cents a catty for white rice, twelve cents for yellow rice, fifteen cents for white flour, and five cents for flour. They are the kind of steamed buns made by Zhang’s family. In fact, the wheat bran is not separated, and some even peel off the white flour. The wheat bran is also added, which is cheaper.

Zhang Caixuan bought one hundred catties each, no matter what kind.Soon half a cart of all kinds of grain was loaded, and the shop assistants didn't take it seriously. Many big families didn't have enough grain in their villages, so it was normal for horse carts to pull several carts. Although this was a bit much, it was It's also normal.In particular, there are white rice and white noodles in it. It looks like the food the master eats, and it is clearly the steward of the big family who came out to buy it.

The two changed shops and bought a hundred catties of various things before going to the gate of the city, and went straight to Qingshan Village without stopping.

In fact, the price of buying grain is three Wen more expensive than selling it. If she buys it from the villagers, she can save a lot.

When the two returned to the village, it was still early, and it was the time when everyone went out after breakfast. When they saw Qin Sulin's carriage coming back, they all smiled and greeted them, but they couldn't see what was in the carriage.

Back home, Zhang Caixuan checked the food again, put some green peppers and rice bags, and moved them all into the cellar.

Qin Sulin didn't want her to move, Zhang Caixuan didn't force her, and went to the kitchen to cook. With these hundreds of catties of food, she felt more relaxed. If the two of them ate, they could eat for a long time.

After Qin Sulin finished moving, he came to help her cook again. On the table, Qin Sulin looked at the joy in her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "So happy?"

Zhang Caixuan hummed, nodded and smiled and said, "Don't panic if you have food at home."

Qin Surin was amused, and suggested: "Then let's go buy it tomorrow?"

It was a joke, but Zhang Caixuan nodded seriously.

He was a little surprised, "Really still want to buy it?"

Zhang Caixuan took it easy, "I forgot to bring your bank note today, and it hasn't been converted into silver yet."

Right.

Qin Surin didn't say any more, now that the grain is coming in, he just waits to clean up the weeds in the field, plow the ground, and wait for the next year to plant again. This period of time is actually very empty, as for firewood.A few days ago they went to cut firewood every day, but now the barn is full of piles, and there are still a few big trees in the back that have not been split, enough to burn for a long time.

Anyway, it's all right, and he doesn't want to do part-time work like the villagers. Seeing how happy she is in the city, he can take her there a few more times.

On the second day, it was still so early, and the two went to the capital again. Although there were many people in Huanxi Town, Zhang Caixuan was used to being cautious and insisted on going to the capital, so Qin Sulin could let her go.

A few days later, Qin Surin found that she especially liked to go to the capital these days, but she didn't buy rouge, gouache and jewelry that women like. She only bought food, salt, and some sugar.

For the food that Zhang Caixuan bought, Qin Sulin didn't think much of it at first, but later saw that she bought more and more. If it was just the two of them eating, it would take several years.

He wanted to persuade her, but when he saw her excited eyes, he held back again.The big deal is to sell it in the next spring. Grain is cheap now, but every time the spring comes, the price of grain will rise a bit when the grain is not harvested.

Seeing that Qin Surin didn't stop him, Zhang Caixuan struggled with how to explain it at first, but later seeing that he didn't ask, she let go.

Not only that, she also bought a lot of firecrackers and lamp oil, anyway, as long as they are needed, she will buy some for them.

She didn't mean to stock up, as long as she had enough, including food, as long as she was not hungry. ,all in

Half a month passed like this, and it was September in a blink of an eye. So far this year, there has not been a drop of rain, nor has it been cold.

Gradually, the price of grain has risen back to last year's price. Most people in the village are still waiting and watching, and they can't help but want to sell grain.

These days Zhang Caixuan leaves early and returns late, and there is usually no one at home. Now she no longer goes out, and she and Qin Sulin are chopping firewood at the back door, but someone came to the door.

Hu Niuniang stepped into the door with a smile on her face, saw the firewood they had piled up in the warehouse, and praised: "You are really hardworking, these firewood can last for several years."

Zhang Caixuan smiled, "How can I? I'm afraid of the cold, and I can't live without the fire in winter, so I can only work harder and prepare more."

Hu Niuniang smiled and said, "Young Master Qin is kind to you."

Zhang Caixuan smiled and didn't answer.

Since she got married, the number of people coming to her door has decreased sharply. In the past, Niu Hu often came to look for her, but since she got married, she didn't come here very often.

Hu Niu Niang was straightforward and didn't make any detours, and asked directly: "I came today to ask if you want food?"

Although she was asking about Zhang Caixuan, her eyes turned to Qin Sulin. It is not surprising that no matter which family is in charge at the moment, it is a man.

Qin Surin looked up at her, then lowered his head and continued chopping firewood.

It is obvious that Zhang Caixuan is in charge of him.

Hu Niuniang was a little surprised, but she reacted quickly and discussed with Zhang Caixuan: "Anyway, I'm going to sell, you want to buy food, why not sell it to you directly from our family, without the intervention of middlemen, you can also Save it, and you don’t have to go so far to the town to buy it, do you think this is the reason?”

The truth is right, if the weather goes well next year.

Although Zhang Caixuan bought grain, she never thought of buying it from the villagers.
