"I have thirty catties of local food stamps here, you see......"

"Give it to me. Ye Lin took the food stamps and counted them, and handed five yuan and four cents to the uncle.

And at this time, Uncle Jiang's eyes changed when he looked at Ye Lin, from what the two of them said to Ye Lin just now, Uncle Jiang had already heard it, it turned out that Ye Lin often came here, and there were many people who knew him.

Not only that, Ye Lin is still selling and buying things here, as for what is sold, he doesn't know, but it must be food, what to buy He has seen just now, food stamps.

Of course, this change is for the better, he originally thought that Ye Lin was just getting some scrap, and then he didn't know where to get some sweet potatoes, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Uncle Jiang, don't tell anyone about this. On the way back, Ye Lin arranged for Uncle Jiang.

"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about it, only the two of us know about it. ”

"Well, by the way, you can call me Ye Lin in the future. ”

"Ahh......h

"It's okay, just call me by name. ”

"Alright then, Ye Lin. ”

"Hey, that's right. ”

Uncle Jiang had a smile on his face, and then said, "You sit tight, I'm ready to ride quickly, there are still so many people waiting." ”

"Good. ”

In less than three hours, Ye Lin and Uncle Jiang pulled over three more times, and now there was only the last trip left, and when there were still a few bags left in the end, Uncle Jiang said to Ye Lin in embarrassment: "Ye Lin, this ...... This ......"

"Uncle Jiang, what do you want to say?"

"Ye Lin, I mean, can you leave two bags......?

"Uncle Jiang, you want to keep a few bags and take them home to eat. ”

"Hmm. Uncle Jiang nodded heavily.

"What's wrong with that, so be it, keep ten bags, and it will be your wages for today and tomorrow. ”

"No, no, no, it doesn't take so much. ”

"That's it. After Ye Lin finished speaking, he turned around and said again: "Uncle Jiang, with these ten bags of sweet potatoes, your family will have a little better this winter, so don't shirk it." ”

"Alright then, Ye Lin, thank you. ”

"Uncle Jiang, do we still need to be so polite?"

"Uh! yes, yes, no, no. ”

"Alright, pull these over, it's over today, and you'll come back tomorrow after breakfast. ”

"Good. ”

Ten bags of sweet potatoes are nothing to Ye Lin, but for Uncle Jiang, it is life-saving food, although Uncle Jiang's income is higher than that of ordinary people, but his family has a large population.

If you just point to that amount, you basically have to be hungry every day, Uncle Jiang is the main labor in the family, he will not be hungry, but what about his family, Uncle Jiang can bear to watch his family go hungry.

Now it's okay, Ye Lin gave him ten bags of sweet potatoes, which is five hundred catties, as long as he doesn't eat it openly, this winter will be fine, at least he won't be hungry.

On the way to Deshengmen, thinking of what he is doing now, Ye Lin was reminded of a proverb, if you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, it seems that selling sweet potatoes is quite noble.

Because there were ten bags left for Uncle Jiang, there were only thirty bags on this last trip, but there were at least fifty or sixty people waiting here, which also gave Ye Lin a headache, for those who didn't grab it.

Ye Lin stood on the cart and said, "Don't worry if you don't buy it, I will sell it here for a day tomorrow, and everyone will come and buy it when the time comes." ”

"Little comrade, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's true, I've not been here for a day or two, and I think people who come here regularly should know me, so I'm not going to lie to everyone. ”

"Okay, we believe you. ”

Looking at these people who were looking at him, to be honest, Ye Lin felt uncomfortable, even if he came over to sell it for another day tomorrow, how many could he have, at most twenty or thirty thousand catties, these grains were really a drop in the bucket for the entire imperial capital.

But there is no way, there is only so much he can help, I want him to give up the opportunity to make more money to sell sweet potatoes, doesn't he just want a few fewer people to starve, but his ability is limited, he can only help as much as he wants.

The next day, Ye Lin and Uncle Jiang ran for another day and sold more than 400 bags of sweet potatoes, which is already the limit, not that Ye Lin has no sweet potatoes, but that he doesn't have so much time to sell.

The yield of sweet potatoes is very high, in later generations, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu can reach 7,000 kilograms, and the yield of Ye Lin space is even higher, and there is no problem with the yield of tens of thousands of kilograms per mu, although Ye Lin only planted sweet potatoes in five points.

But from planting sweet potatoes to the present, in addition to feeding pigs, chickens and ducks, at least there are nearly 200,000 catties, although more than 30,000 catties have been sold in the past two days, there are still more than 100,000 catties in the space.

Uncle Jiang sent Ye Lin to the mouth of the alley, arranged for him to go home directly, and then rode on the cart.

"Uncle Jiang, wait a minute. Just as Uncle Jiang got on the board and was about to leave, Ye Lin called him.

"Ye Lin, is there anything else?"

"That's Uncle Jiang, do you know anyone who can start a kang?"

"Do you want to raise a kang at home?"

"Well, isn't it winter soon! You also know that the winter in our imperial capital is relatively cold, so I think of two kangs. ”

In this era, not to mention the imperial capital, it is cold in winter in any place, and it is that kind of dry and cold, but it is only this era, and in a few decades, I have thought that such a cold winter will not be there.

"Okay, there is a mason in our yard, and it is easier to start the kang, which is the material of the kang......"

"Uncle Jiang, you don't need to worry about the materials, I'll figure out a way to do this, you just need to help me find someone. ”

"That's fine, when am I going to bring him over?"

Ye Lin thought for a while and said, "Uncle Jiang, let's finish lunch tomorrow morning, I was at home at that time." ”

"Well, that's it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Every day after eating at noon, Li Ran will go to school, Ye Qi and Ye Lin are the same, this is not to say that they will go to class so early, just go to school for self-study, like Ye Lin, there is no need to go so early, the reason why he also went so early is just to accompany Ye Qi.

Ye Lin had already thought about it, he wouldn't go so early after eating at noon tomorrow, and discuss it with the mason brought by Uncle Jiang at home to see what materials were needed, and he could also prepare on his own.

After lunch the next morning, Ye Lin came to the mouth of the alley, and saw Uncle Jiang and a middle-aged man standing there, so Ye Lin walked over and shouted, "Uncle Jiang." ”

"Ye Lin is here, this is the mason I told you about. ”

"Hello uncle. ”

"Hello. ”

"Let's go, let's go to my house. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ye Lin pulled Uncle Jiang and walked a few steps quickly, and asked, "Uncle Jiang, how did you call him over?"

"I gave him two bags of sweet potatoes and he said yes. ”

"Oh! no. ”

Hearing Ye Lin say this, Uncle Jiang said: "Ye Lin, don't doubt Uncle Jiang's ability to do things, let alone the importance of two bags of sweet potatoes to a family. ”

"Uh! I know Uncle Jiang. ”

Ye Lin didn't expect that two bags of sweet potatoes could actually invite a mason to work, which would be impossible in the later generations, even if the sweet potatoes in the later generations were more expensive, how much would a hundred catties of sweet potatoes be worth.

Li Ran and Ye Qi were not there, Ye Lin invited Uncle Jiang and the middle-aged man to the house, and let the middle-aged man see the two rooms, mainly to see where the kang was raised.

"Uncle, look ......"

"I think it's better to put the kang under the window, so it's easier to start the chimney. ”

"Up under the window?" Ye Lin looked at the furnishings in the room.

Whether it is Ye Lin's room or Li Ran's room, the bed is against the back wall, according to the middle-aged man, that is, the kang is put up against the front wall, although in this case, there is no need to move the bed, but the room is not big, so it is even more obvious that there is no place.

"Ye Lin, what do you want to do with the bed if the kang is up?"

"Uh, yes, look at my head, all right, right under the window. Ye Lin nodded, and then asked, "What materials are needed for that?"

"That's it, I'll solve the materials, but it's ......"

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Ye Lin continued: "I'll pay for it." ”

"That's fine. ”

"I want to know, how long will it take to get these two kangs?" In the end, Ye Lin still asked, if three or five days is fine, it is not okay if the time is too long, this is not to say that Ye Lin does not have this time, but it is too troublesome.

"Up to two days if the materials are ready. ”

"Two days, that's great, let's do it. ”

The middle-aged man is a dry mason, and he knows much better than Ye Lin where to get materials, so Ye Lin handed this over to him, and he also fell into a relaxed position, in Ye Lin's words, if you can solve a problem with money, it is not a problem.

The middle-aged man had to prepare for two days, Ye Lin agreed, and it just so happened that he could also take advantage of this time to talk to his mother about it.

After Uncle Jiang and the middle-aged man left, Ye Lin also went to school, and the school promised Ye Lin that it didn't matter if he went or not, but for the sake of his mother's face, Ye Lin must go to school.

Don't talk about it or not, at least he went, everyone knows that Mr. Li's child has a problem with his head, but even so, he still goes to school every day, how nice it sounds to say.

The afternoon passed quickly, and after school, Ye Lin ran to the school gate and waited for his sister Ye Qi, and soon Ye Qi and Li Ting came out of the school hand in hand.

"Brother. ”

"Ye Lin. ”

"Hmm. Ye Lin nodded.

"Let's go, let's go back. Ye Qi came over and pulled Ye Lin and said.

"Sister, you go back first, I still have some business. ”

"Ahh

"Sister, you don't care, I must go home before eating. ”
