"Then how much grain do you need for the beginning of spring?"

"Huh?" Hua Changnian touched his head: "This, it depends on when it will thaw." According to the situation in previous years, my family would be able to plant a crop of spring wheat after thawing, but this year it is so cold, and my family has just bought a wasteland, and it has not yet been opened. If the ground wakes up too late and the spring wheat is not harvested, then plant buds, and then plant soybeans..."

Hua Changnian talked a lot about farming, and he talked a lot, and he was interested, but he didn't see Zheng Xianling's slightly stiff smile.

"Alas, I forgot to buy grain seeds in advance, I'm afraid I don't know how expensive it will be then..."

Zheng County's order gave Chong Wanli a look, the matter is done, let's go.

"We'll get back and have someone pull the wolf's skin."

The leather is easy to pull, and a carriage is enough.

"Hey, hey—"

Seeing off the three of them, Hua Changnian was a little worried: "Did I provoke my parents by talking?" How do you say it's okay and leave? ”

Hua Lei said: "Dad, don't think about it, I think Master Zheng heard you talk about grain planting, and he must be worried about spring planting." ”

"Yes, Lord Zheng is a good official, the county town says that Lord Zheng is good, otherwise the food would have been unaffordable, alas, you say that Lord Zheng is really unlucky, why did you come to Wei County and encounter a snow disaster? It's—"

Chongli looked at Zheng County's order: "Why did you have a snow disaster as soon as you came?" ”

Zheng County Ling was so angry that he wanted to kick people: "It's not that there has been trouble, the county annals have records, who knows which year of the catastrophe and which year of peace?" Hmph, it's because it's me, I'm afraid Linxian is-"

Naturally, several neighboring prefectures were also affected, and I don't know what the prefectural ordinance there did.

"So, even if your old man didn't follow, he could be regarded as helping you."

Zheng Xianling was discouraged: "Okay, don't say it, it's okay, you can leave quickly." ”

Chong Wanli raised his eyebrows, and he didn't need to drive people away?

"The Hua family, you can help me take care of it in the future."

"Okay, okay, I don't know? Really, how can she be a woman? ”

"If it's a man, can I take it with me?"

"If it's cheap, it's good to sell it, with this thing, the border can live in peace for a few years, right?" Zheng Xianling pointed to the bow and crossbow.

Chong Wanli's face turned pale: "We have to go back as much as possible, there is such a heavy snow here, maybe how the barbarian country will rob there, it is estimated that this year will not be peaceful." ”

"Then you go first, and I'll send you the wolf skin."

When he returned with thousands of miles, he took people and left in a hurry.

Waiting for the wolf skin to be transported away, Hua Yun went to the county seat to settle the bill for Master Tie, and the Hua family was quiet again.

Wan asked Huayun: "People gave two thousand taels of silver, isn't it bad for us to keep these?" ”

Hua Yun looked at the skin of the wolf king: "What's wrong?" Chong Wanli was originally given silver through wolf skins, but he was only sold for one, which was also two thousand. We only have less than ten left, and he doesn't care about it. ”

Wan Shi is still uneasy, children have ideas, just listen to it.

"I'll make jackets for all of you, and it's not the coldest time yet."

When the whole family put on wolf skin jackets, Hua Changnian went to the cyclamen again.

"Right now, this thing is only expensive, not cheap. When the shopkeeper Guo saw me, he personally received me, and it seemed that there was a shortage of things in the restaurant. The price of eggs went up again, and he urged me to send rabbits. We're going to have a fat year this year. ”

Zheng County Linghe Chong Wanli gave a few thousand taels of silver, and the couple didn't think about moving, so they let the flower thunder be stored in the money village and kept for the children to use in the future.

"However, he doesn't want a wolf. It is said that since the roast wolf banquet of the county commander, the rich people in the county heard the word 'wolf', and their hearts ached. The cyclamen didn't dare to sell it anymore, but luckily our wolves were all disposed of. ”

Hua Lei laughed, it was because his wolf was treated like that by Zheng County's order, that the cyclamen did not have this business.

Hua Changnian stomped his feet and changed into his old cotton shoes when he entered the house. Wan's used broken wolf skin as the lining, and when he went out, he wore shoes lined with wolf skin, and the upper was still old cotton. In the house, the kang was burned, and it was replaced with cotton.

"This wolf skin is so warm, it makes me sweat." Hua Changnian looked at the sky: "Don't snow anymore." I listened to the rush to say that the grain in several counties around us is precious, with a price a day, and a limited amount of it is sold every day. A lot of people can't buy food. Fortunately, our county has been at a price these days, although it is much more expensive than usual, but it is not as outrageous as the surrounding area. There are people from other counties who come to buy it. There is a limit in the grain shop. ”

Wan Shi sighed with emotion, and suddenly thought: "Otherwise, when our land is reclaimed and we grow grain, we will also sell grain?" ”

"Let's take care of the land first. Look at you, you raise chickens, rabbits, and sheep in the coming year, and you are planning to grow food and sell it. Hua Changnian said to a few children: "Your mother is the most capable in our family, and we will listen to your mother's leadership in the future." ”

Hua Yu rolled from the kang into Wan's arms: "Just listen to my mother, how well my mother raised us." ”

A few people laughed, who is this praise?

Wan blushed: "No shame." You too, what do you say in front of your child? ”

Hua Changnian immediately said: "How can I talk nonsense? I say that if I listen to you, I will listen to you, will you listen to me? ”

What yours and mine, Wan Shi glared at him: "Whoever says it is right will listen to whomever it is." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right."

"Hahaha," the children laughed.

The flower family next door is quarrelling.

"Dad, I've inquired about it, the price of grain in several counties in the border has risen sevenfold, and it is getting higher and higher day by day, as long as our family's grain is shipped, it is guaranteed to be sold at a good price. When the time comes, won't the family have all the money to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law? ”

It was Hua Changzong who spoke, he had many friends outside, and he was well-informed, and when he heard that the price of food had risen sharply, he moved his mind. With this change of hands, you can earn seven times the usual amount of silver.

The old man scolded him: "There is a snow disaster this year, is it really because our family has a lot of food?" In previous years, when the times were good, the grain left by your mother and I was enough to eat until the autumn harvest. Which of you is not clear? Sell grain, sell grain, what do we eat when we sell it? ”

Hua Changzong looked anxious: "Dad, how can you let go of such a good opportunity?" Aren't we in a hurry to use money? And Lehrer's belly passed, and spring began, and food was everywhere, but silver was not everywhere. Changfang wants to marry, Shunfeng wants to marry, Changzu exam, which one doesn't want money? ”

"That can't be exchanged for life."

The old man wants to get ahead again, but he has also farmed all his life, and said to the people who farm the land that he has no food in his hands at any time. This is a firm philosophy that has been passed down from generation to generation by the older generation.

"Daddy, you-"

"Don't talk about it, if you want to fight for food, there is no door."

"I-" Hua Changzong was angry and anxious, why couldn't he make sense? With such a good way to make a fortune, why is my father so stubborn?

Hua Chang's bare legs are already healed, and the walk is no different from before, he took the family to listen and didn't speak, anyway, his son married his daughter-in-law, and the house was built, what was he anxious about?

Hua Changyao was reluctant to give up this opportunity to make a fortune, his eyes were purring, look at this, look at that, and finally give Hua Changzong a look, squeezing his eyes and eyebrows.

Hua Changzong didn't understand what this ghostly and clever brother meant, so he couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows with him, and in the end he didn't understand what it meant, and he almost had a cramp in his face.

The old man slapped the table: "Speak well." ”

Hua Changyao had no choice but to say: "Dad, what the second brother said is right, we can't miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune." ”

The old man slapped the table again: "I said, don't sell grain." ”

Hua Changyao was aggrieved by his glare, and looked at Li: "Mother, I haven't finished speaking yet." ”

Li immediately followed and patted the table: "Let Changyao finish speaking." ”

Old Man Hua snorted, and Li snorted back.

"Dad, mother, our family's food can't be moved, but other people's families have food."

"What?"

"What do you say?" (To be continued.) )
