Chapter 18 The Yan Family's Man

"What are you doing when you buy so much? In another month, new grain will come out, and it will be much cheaper to buy it then. "Wang Dashan was very surprised by Feng Shanyue'www.biquge.info s decision.

Feng Shanyue smiled, did not explain, but walked up to the merchant and said with a smile: "Uncle, just now my brother said that you want to sell these grains for a penny, right?"

The merchant nodded and said, "Yes, little girl, what I sell is not expensive, now is the time when the grain is the most expensive, I will only calculate it when you plan to buy it all, otherwise it will be even more expensive." ”

"Okay, I've bought your food. Feng Shanyue took out a coin, handed it to the merchant, pulled him aside, and asked in detail about the prices of various grains. The merchant was also honest and told Feng Shanyue everything in 1510.

Feng Shanyue left enough grain for herself and the Wang family, and then said to the lamb seller with a smile: "Uncle, I am willing to exchange grain for your lamb, what kind of grain do you want to exchange?"

The lamb seller saw that Feng Shanyue had wrapped up the rest of the grain, and thought that he would not be able to exchange for grain today, but when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and said with a simple smile: "Sorghum, there are several people in my family, and I can't afford to eat expensive grains like wheat and rice!"

According to the price given by the merchant, a lamb could only be exchanged for thirty catties of sorghum, and Feng Shanyue gave him forty catties. He bent down gratefully, and said: "Little girl, my name is Yanzhuang, I am from Yanjiashan, the girl is so generous and righteous, if you have the opportunity, you must come to our Yanjiashan as a guest, I will treat you well." ”

"Uncle Yan is polite, it's just a trivial matter. ”

"It may seem like a small thing to you, but it's a matter of life for our family! Adults can eat wild vegetables and tree roots, where can this child stand it. That's why I used the lambs that had just been laid down at home to exchange for food!" Yan Zhuang's gratitude to Feng Shanyue was beyond words.

When Feng Shanyue saw Yanzhuang, she remembered her father, who always left delicious food to his daughter, but he was reluctant to eat it. Thinking of this, Feng Shanyue opened the wheat pocket, loaded some more wheat out, and handed it to Yan Zhuang, "Uncle Yan, this is for your children to eat." Give them a pancake and make some gnocchi soup, and they will surely be happy. ”

Yan Zhuang waved his hand again and again, "No, you have already given me more of these sorghums." How can I ask for your wheat again?"

Feng Shanyue stuffed the wheat to him, "Take it, this is a little bit of my heart for my younger brothers and sisters, no matter how bitter I am, I can't be bitter children! Maybe I will have the opportunity to go to Yanjiashan in the future, and I will come to disturb it, so I should make a friend." ”

Yan Zhuang couldn't push it off a few times, so he had to accept it, and took a wolf tooth necklace from his neck and gave it to Feng Shanyue: "Girl, this is a little bit of my heart, this wolf tooth was pulled out of the mouth of a white wolf I killed ten years ago, all these years, I have been carrying it with me, hunting in the mountains, and ordinary beasts dare not attack me at all." Now it's for you!"

Feng Shanyue wanted to excuse herself, but after thinking about it, she put away the wolf tooth and thanked her with a smile.

Yan Zhuang laughed heroically: "You girl is really refreshing, I really like your temperament." Please come to my Yanjia Mountain as a guest, and I will entertain you with the best prey. ”

"Okay, I'll definitely come and visit!"

Yanzhuang left the lamb and went home happily with the grain, leaving envious eyes all the way.

"This Yan family man is really worthy of his reputation, and he is really heroic!"

"This little girl is not bad, she is righteous and generous, and I don't know which village it is. ”

Wang Dashan was about to proudly tell everyone that they were from Niejia Village, but Feng Shanyue pulled the corner of his clothes, gave him a look, and asked him to quickly pick up the food and go home. Wang Dashan was a simple man, and hurriedly and obediently picked up the grain and left the market, and Feng Shanyue led the little lamb to follow.

The two walked for more than half an hour, and Feng Shanyue said, "Brother Wang, let's rest!"

Wang Dashan wiped his sweat honestly, "I'm not tired, it's important to hurry!"

"No matter how anxious you are, you can't wait for a while, rest your feet, let the lamb rest too!"

Wang Dashan had no choice but to put down his burden, sat on the stone on the side of the road, wiped his sweat, and said to Feng Shanyue, who was playing with the little lamb: "That lamb has been more than a month, and he can eat grass." You let it eat some grass, and it will be refreshed!"

Feng Shanyue has never let go of sheep, how does she know what grass the sheep should eat, "Will it get sick if it eats these grasses?"

"No," Wang Dashan shook his head amusedly, "sheep are very smart, and they know what kind of grass they can eat." You don't have to worry about them. ”

"Okay," Feng Shanyue tied the rope of the little lamb to a tree, let it graze under the tree, and sat down on Wang Dashan's side, "Brother Wang, you're tired, let you pick up so much grain alone." ”

Wang Dashan shook his head, "That's a lot, when we go to deliver autumn grain to the lord of the country, we have to pick two so many, and we have to travel for five or six days." ”

"Is this close to the capital?"

"The capital is far away, I haven't been there, I heard the old people say that they will go for a month or two. We will send the grain to the magistrate, and when the time comes, someone will bring the grain to the capital. ”

"Why don't you use horses or oxen to send such a long distance?"

"We don't have a cow or a horse in our village, cattle and horses are expensive, and even if they do, they are reluctant to use them to transport grain!"

Feng Shanyue was speechless, it is the same in any era, when there is a shortage of materials, only manpower is the cheapest. She thought about it for a while and changed the subject: "Brother Wang, usually you all exchange things with others, if you are like Uncle Yan today, what should you do if you meet people who refuse to change or can't meet things to change?"

"There's no way around it, you can only try your luck! Today, the man from Yanjiashan met you and really had great luck, and the grain was difficult to exchange at this time, and you might not be able to buy it with shell coins! You are really a kind person!"

Feng Shanyue said a thought in her heart: "Then what do you think if someone can let everyone exchange things at any time, or exchange things for shell coins?"

"That's great!" Wang Dashan said happily: "If you can change things at any time, it will be much more convenient, and you don't have to run the market in vain." ”

Feng Shanyue nodded, "I want to open a store, just open it in the market, if you usually can't change things in the market, you can take them to me to sell or exchange for other things, of course, you can also take shell coins to buy things in my store, what do you think?"

Wang Dashan looked at the eleven-year-old girl in front of him in surprise, "This idea is very good, but how can you have so much money? Besides, how can you do such a big thing as a girl?"
