Chapter 65: Buying Food

This time, the snow covered the surface of the feet, and as soon as the snow stopped, the whole family went to the county seat again. When the snow doesn't melt, it's easier to walk.

The cyclamen also urged them to ask for eggs, but unfortunately it was too cold, and many chickens stopped laying eggs, so naturally there were few. The supply is less, but the people who eat are not less, and the price of eggs has increased. Shopkeeper Guo was also relieved when he saw Hua Changnian.

"It's so cold this year, I can't buy much when I go out for a long time, and the kitchen complains. The price of vegetables has risen vigorously, and I can't buy much. Partial guests love to come and eat pots. If your family doesn't come to deliver the eggs, I'll have to go and find you myself. Yo, I see that there are no fewer eggs. ”

Hua Changnian also sighed: "What's not missing?" The chickens at home are so cold that they can't do it. In the first heavy snowfall, there was another shed outside the chicken shed, or maybe a few of them would freeze to death. I'm sad this year. ”

"Brother Hua, the price has risen, three or two, I won't lie to you."

Hua Changnian was another thank-you.

"Okay, give me all your eggs, but you can't give them to others."

Hua Changnian hurriedly said: "How can it be, my family has never been for cyclamen, don't believe it, you can inquire." ”

Shopkeeper Guo was satisfied: "I know that you are a real person." By the way, do you still have rabbits? It was cold, and the rabbit meat pot was hung up, and the hundred rabbits had already eaten it. And send it again. ”

Hua Changnian was taken aback: "So fast? ”

"Don't be happy, you can eat seven or eight a day, how many days can you eat?"

I can't help but eat it.

"Yes, yes, but it's too young to eat meat."

Shopkeeper Guo's eyes lit up, and he really did, patted Hua Changnian's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Brother Hua, you can say it, you can send it to me when you grow up, I thank you in advance." ”

Hua Changnian tilted his head: "But, I'm afraid I have to wait a little longer, and the year will fall." ”

Shopkeeper Guo laughed: "Okay, good year, you must remember to send it to me, otherwise, I will let someone take it." ”

"No, no, I have to deliver eggs, it's not the same."

Shopkeeper Guo personally settled the bill and took two packs of dim sum from the back kitchen: "Give it to the children." At this time, dim sum is not worth much. Let's give it to your children. ”

Hua Changnian heard him say this, so he accepted it with confidence.

The family went to the grain store, a large store specializing in grain.

Hua Bing's eyes lit up.

Hua Lei laughed at him quietly: "Do you remember all the menus?" ”

Hua Bing nodded, embarrassed and proud.

Hua Lei scratched his little nose: "Then you order food then." ”

"No problem."

Hua Changnian and Wan Shi stepped forward to look at the grain, and Hua Yun and Huayu laughed when they listened.

According to the plan, I bought more than a dozen bags of wheat, all of which were good grain.

The couple is so generous, first, the price of food has risen by two cents compared with the last time they came, but it is expected that it will have to rise. Hua Changnian took the agricultural book and said that there was no harvest of winter wheat, so Wan panicked and naturally agreed to buy more at this time. The second is that the stones in the family were bought by the villagers, and most of the money that was scattered at the beginning came back, and Wan's heart was at the bottom.

Besides, this is buying food, not spending money.

"I think, this food has to go up, should we buy more for the New Year?"

Wan hesitated, looked at the child again, and nodded: "Buy cotton and cotton cloth, and I will give the children thick cotton clothes." ”

At the beginning, one person only had to wear cotton clothes, and Wan was worried that the weather would be cold and not tolerant of freezing.

"You've got to wear thicker. You have to go to Renhetang, your medicine will run out. ”

The grain was stored in the grain store first, and the family went to Renhetang first, and Dr. Gu sat in the middle of the room, with a fox's tail around his neck. There are also two bracers on each wrist, one of fox skin.

When I saw the family, I smiled, and after reading the patient first, I sat down and pointed to my neck and said proudly: "See?" I'm not frozen, and those old guys envy me. They don't have such fresh, thick skins. ”

The family laughed, and Hua Lei said casually: "I should give you a few more to make a big coat and wear it warmer." ”

"How many can I get, but no, no."

Dr. Gu checked Wan's pulse, adjusted the prescription, and asked the junior apprentice to grab the medicine.

While the primary school apprentice was grabbing, he said in his heart, he must still not want money, the old rules.

Everyone knows about this, but no one said anything, haven't you seen Dr. Gu's family, and the fox scarf is much more expensive than a few pairs of medicine.

After reading it to Hua Changnian, Doctor Gu was still puzzled, but said: "I guess I can't figure it out, it's just that, I know how much, there are more things in this world that I don't understand." ”

He also asked about the situation at home.

Hua Changnian said that there were wolves in the village, and there was speculation about next year's harvest.

Dr. Gu didn't know much about farming, so he only said that he did the right thing and told him to pay attention to safety.

The family said goodbye and walked out of the door, Hua Yun turned back and asked Doctor Gu, "Wolf, is it useful?" ”

Doctor Gu pondered: "The skin is useful, and the medical books record that meat is also medicinal, but I haven't had a chance to try it." ”

"Do you want that?"

The corners of Dr. Gu's eyes twitched, this tone of reselling, he is a doctor, a doctor!

"I'd like to see it. But don't run into the mountains because of my words, you kid. At this time, the things on the mountain are fierce, and they are not easy to deal with. If you wake up the blind bear, it's even more dangerousβ€”"

"Huh? Bear blind? Did that work? ”

Doctor Gu was silent and said solemnly: "Don't go up the mountain, don't mess with them, otherwise your father and mother will be distressed." ”

Hua Yun nodded, still asking, "Do you want it?" ”

Doctor Gu was angry, so he had to say: "If you want it, no matter what, you just send it to me." You said that you, the little girl's family, don't know anything and don't know anything, and you still want to touch it, so you should be given a long memory. ”

Hua Yun couldn't help laughing, the needle she gave Hua Changnian hadn't been studied by Dr. Gu yet.

"Go, go, hurry home and go to the cat."

Doctor Gu drove people away and stuffed a handful of melon seeds into her hand: "Knock to relieve boredom." ”

came out, Wan asked, "What's wrong?" Are you not feeling well? ”

Hua Yun shook his head and spread out his palms: "Mother, this is quite delicious, we don't seem to have it." ”

Wan's wooden face: "Kaichun Niang will plant it for you." ”

Rare things, look at you.

Can flower clouds not be unusual? At least, she really hasn't eaten melon seeds.

When the grain was transported home, it naturally attracted the attention of the villagers. Looking at the burlap bags on the car, the envious and the red eyes hesitant, the smart enough should think of the price of food.

Hua Changnian only said that he had no food to eat, and he said what people asked, but others didn't feel like they asked anything after asking for a long time.

Hey, did your family buy so much food?

My family has no land, so I can only buy and eat.

How much does it cost?

I have to thank you all for the money.

Eat like this, you still have to eat white flour steamed buns?

I'm afraid I won't be able to eat your family's wheat harvest.

By the way, he also explained that the price of grain has risen, and some who think long-term have also entered the county seat.

After putting all the grain away, Wan spread cotton wool on the kang.

Hua Yun stood at the door and looked at the sky, and said for a long time: "It's going to snow, this time it's big, everything that should be put in the house is collected." ”

When the snow falls, it's hard to take.

Hua Changnian looked at the sun, not even a cloud.

"You see that? When? Did you teach it with your own mother? ”

Hua Yun paused, of course she could see that in the impermanent weather of the last days, those who dared to go out on missions had learned to observe and speculate on the weather.

"Well, I'm afraid it's no less than that heavy snow this time, and I don't know how many days it will be tomorrow night at the latest. It's broken, Daddy. ”

Hua Changnian panicked: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

"Can our chickens and rabbits carry it?"

Hua Changnian said twice, and hurriedly shouted Hua Lei to reinforce.

It's not that I'm afraid that the shed will collapse, but that I'm afraid that they will freeze to death.

Wan Shi said: "Anyway, we have a lot of wood, so we can also burn a stove in it." ”

In the past few days, the house has been burning the kang day and night, but the house is warm and tight.

It is possible to light a stove in the greenhouse, Hua Changnian looked at the chickens standing on the horizontal wood and huddled together, and nodded: "I'll make a straw curtain again to block the wind." ”

This chicken is the first treatment in the village, and there is a big house outside the house, and the big house is hung with a door curtain, and a small stove is lit inside.

"This is a great hero of our family, so we have to serve it."

The chickens were served, and the rabbits were served.

Wan Shi is not worried about Dong Niangzi, she is a double body. Hua Changnian helped fix the doors and windows and add courtyard walls, not afraid of wolves entering, after all, it is the farthest away from the mountain in the northernmost part. Dong Langzhong is not short of money, but Wan is not uneasy.

"I'll divide some cotton cotton cloth in the past, Sakura Niang can't move now, I'll help her make a thick one, and I'll have it in half a day." You also go over and ask him if Uncle Dong wants to buy food and accompany him to the county seat. Fortunately, both children live in school, so they don't have to worry about it. ”

"Okay."

The two of them went out. Hua Lei went to carry firewood.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Zeng's family will not have enough."

Really considerate and good student.

Waiting for Hua Lei to come back, he held Zeng Niangzi's steamed sugar horn in his hand.

Hua Yun tasted it: "Sweet, delicious, let our mother do it too." ”

Hua Yu smiled: "Well, where have we eaten these good things before, we will eat them every day in the future, and they will be sweet and fragrant every day." ”

Hua Yun pulled her small braids and nodded.

This night, it was Hua Changnian's turn to patrol the village with others, and there was nothing to do all night. The next day, he accompanied Dong Langzhong into the city to buy grain, and when he came back, he gritted his teeth: "It's gone up again, if it goes on like this, who can afford to buy grain?" ”

Wan's face was sad, although he was not worried, he was worried about the big guy.

Hua Lei thought about it and said: "I told my husband yesterday, and my husband said that the grain merchants don't dare to raise too much, and the government has to take care of it." Moreover, it causes panic, and the grain merchants will be held accountable. They only seek profit, but they are still afraid of officials. ”

Hua Changnian muttered: "How much money do the people have? ”

I couldn't help but slip to the south, and I could see the thorny branches crawling on the wall.

No one spoke, Wan looked at this, looked at that, and several children didn't look at her, so they had to speak themselves.

Hua Yun sighed silently and patted Hua Yu.

Hua Yu pouted, picked up Wan's sugar slot that had just come out of the pot, and ran out.

Hua Changnian's expression was relaxed, and Wan lowered his head to stitch.

The children in the family are sensible.

When Huayu came back after a long day, he said angrily: "What are you going to do, it's not that people don't know, they are clamoring to buy food." ”

Hua Changnian was nervous: "Then do you want to buy it or not?" ”

Hua Yu shrugged: "Who knows?" There is no shortage of land in his house, and there is grain in the house, and I heard Hua Xiang'er say that it is Hua Changyao who is clamoring to buy grain and sell it in a few days. People don't lack food, what people want is money, Dad, what are you worried about? ”

Hua Changnian was a little embarrassed: "That's what I thought." ”

Hua Yu took a heavy bite of the sugar horn, and the sugar juice flowed out: "It's better to be a mother." Hua Xiang'er said that she hadn't eaten sugar slots for a long time, and the last time it was her mother's cooking. ”

Wan Shi was stunned, this was all last year, right?

Hua Yun waved his hand: "Yun is here, bring in everything you eat and drink." ”

It was night, and the snow was falling.
