Chapter 145: The Shen Family Sells Grain

Although Yuan Tian is reckless, he can ask Mr. to teach his younger brother to read, which shows that this person is not just a reckless man, and the Black Tiger Village within a radius of 100 miles in Jixian County is dominant, so it can be seen that this person's strategy is not ordinary, so at this time, when he saw Shen Lan's calculation method and account book, he immediately felt that this trip to Songjia Village was not in vain, and at the same time, he was more and more impressed by Shen Lan.

It didn't take long for Shen Lan's family to have been packed, a total of fifty-eight stones, and Shen Lan also taught Song Wenyou a simple way to keep accounts, Shen Lanyou took a money bag from his sleeve and handed it to Song Wenyou, telling him that these were silver taels used to buy grain, a total of fifty taels, which had been replaced by Shen Lan with broken silver, Song Wenyou took the silver and said that he would definitely not live up to Shen Lan's trust.

In this way, the matter of Songjia Village came to an end, so Yuan Tian said that he would let Shen Lan take himself and others to Linchun Village, and load the remaining grain, and then take the Black Tiger Village together to avoid accidents, and as for the carriage that had been filled, it would be parked in Songjia Village first, leaving some people to guard.

Agreed on the people who stayed to watch the grain, Yuan Tian and Shen Lan and the others set off to Linchun Village again, and arrived at Linchun Village all the way, Shen Lan learned the previous lesson, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he specially asked Pan Qingping to drive the carriage in front, so that the people guarding the entrance of the village quickly recognized Shen Lan and let a group of people into the village.

Shen Xiaoquan knew that his daughter was going to bring someone to haul food today, so he stayed at home, and when he saw the team of people coming from outside the village towards his door, he immediately called Shen Mei to boil water and prepare to entertain guests.

came to Shen's house, Shen Xiaoquan invited Yuan Tian into the house, and told Shen Lan to hurry up to help Shen Mei boil water, and then serve tea to all the heroes, and he himself took Yuan Tian to see the grain in his warehouse, Shen Lan hurriedly entered the stove, and just saw Shen Mei boiling water, so he walked over.

"I'll come, you're not well, you need to rest more." Shen Lan said, "By the way, have you and your father packed up your things?" Wait a while, just follow me back to Yuan's house. ”

Shen Mei was rushed to the side by Shen Lan to rest, and when she heard Shen Lan ask about packing up her things, she immediately replied: "Not yet, my father said that I would wait until my mother came back, and you don't have a big place there, and there are so many people, I'm afraid it's also inconvenient." ”

"In this way, when my mother comes back, or you move to live in the county, there is a city wall in the county, which is better than the village." Shen Lan bent down and stuffed a fire into the stove before speaking.

"In the county? I'm afraid it's not right, and I don't know when my mother will come back. Shen Mei was a little worried.

"It's better to let my father pick up my mother back, it's best to plan early, otherwise in case the county order closes the city gate in order to prevent the homeless people from entering the city, I'm afraid it will not be easy to go to the county seat at that time." Shen Lan was a little worried, she had seen such a situation in books and on TV before.

Shen Mei didn't care much, but said: "Eldest sister, my father will definitely not agree to go to the county, the expenses are so big, where is there so much money in the family, and besides, the third sister has emptied the family, you don't know." ”

Hearing Shen Mei say this, Shen Lan couldn't help but look forward to Yuan Hao's coming back soon, because the courtyard she asked for had always been Yuan Hao's responsibility, and Shen Lan herself didn't interfere at all, if Yuan Hao came back, maybe it could be completed sooner, after all, labor is very cheap now, it doesn't have to be money, even food can be used to settle labor, maybe those people are willing to settle with food.

Because there is space in hand, Shen Lan can produce sorghum and corn at will, although it is not as valuable as rice, but in the era of famine, as long as it can be eaten, it is good for most people, not to mention that usually people who grow millet can't eat millet, and silkworm raisers can't wear silk and satin, so although it is miscellaneous grain, it can also be worth wages.

"Forget it, don't mention your third sister, this is in chaos, and I don't know what happened to her." Shen Lan sighed, at this time the water was also boiling, Shen Mei hurriedly got up to prepare things such as teapots and teacups, Shen Lan also got up and walked to the stove to open the lid of the pot, let go of some steam, after the water boiled, it is best to release some steam, so that a lot of bad substances will run away with the steam.

Shen Mei placed the teapot on the stove, Shen Lan took out the tea bag from her sleeve again, threw some into the teapot, and then scooped water from the pot into the pot, Shen Mei put the teapot into the tea tray, and Shen Lan poured all the remaining tea leaves into the pot, and then found a bucket and scooped out all the tea.

Shen Mei took the tea saucer out, Shen Lan took the bowl from the cupboard, and then went out with the bucket, the tea in the teapot was naturally used to entertain Yuan Tian, and the bucket was used to entertain the brothers of the Black Tiger Village, so it was necessary to use a relatively large container to pack, and it was convenient to drink in this way, although it was not very hygienic, but it was not very particular at all in this era.

Shen Lan put down the bucket, then scooped the water with a bowl and handed it to the Black Tiger Village brothers who drove all the way, and those who took the tea would thank Shen Lan, and then drank it unceremoniously, but the freshly burned tea was still a little hot, so the speed of drinking slowed down, so the bowl was a little insufficient, so Shen Lan turned around and went to the house to take out some bowls, which was barely enough.

Waiting for Shen Lan to enter the house with empty buckets and bowls, Yuan Tian and Shen Xiaoquan also finished looking at the granary, and they were sitting in the hall at this time, Shen Mei was helping to serve the tea, Shen Lan saw that there was no place for herself, so she said: "Dad, I want to go to my uncle's house." ”

Shen Xiaoquan knew that his daughter had always been kind to Shen Yunting, so he waved his hand and said, "Go, it just so happens that you explained something yesterday, I haven't had time to tell your uncle, you can go to the door and ask in person now." ”

"Got it, Dad." Shen Lan answered, put the bucket in his hand aside, turned around and went out.

"Father Shen, where are you going to go from Lan Niang?" Yuan Tian couldn't help but ask.

"Go to her uncle's house, it's Shen Langzhong's house, you should know her." Shen Xiaoquan replied.

"It's Shen Langzhong." Yuan Tian nodded, he did know Shen Langzhong.

Shen Lan walked out of the house and walked to Shen Yunting's house, when suddenly a girl's voice sounded: "Sister Lan, is Wei Niang okay?" ”

Following the voice and looking over, it turned out to be Shen Ling of Shen Jianyun's family, so Shen Lan replied with a smile: "It's all right, but my Xiaowei misses you a lot, so let's go to Sister Lan's house to play when I have time." ”

Shen Ling nodded happily when she heard this, and then said in distress: "My mother won't let me go out, saying that there are many bad people outside the village who will catch children to eat." ”

"It's okay, let your father and mother take you and your brother with you." Shen Lan said kindly, the fifth aunt's family is still good, when Shen Lian disappeared, it was the fifth uncle who went to report to her, and later Shen Wei was frightened and the fifth aunt and Shen Ling helped take care of it, so Shen Lan was still very grateful.

"Okay, when will Wei Niang come back?" Shen Ling asked.

Shen Lan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that sometimes, the world is not good now, and Sister Wei Liulan's side is better." ”

Hearing this, Shen Ling was a little disappointed, and then said to Shen Lan: "Sister Lan, wait a minute, my father brought me a terracotta figurine back last time, Wei Niang likes it very much, I will give it to you, you bring it to her, just say that I lent it to her, and I will return it to me when she comes back." ”

"Okay, I'll thank you for Xiaowei." Shen Lan smiled and agreed, and she also liked Shen Ling a little more, and after a while, Shen Ling really came out with a colorful terracotta figurine, and carefully handed the terracotta figurines to Shen Lan, with a reluctant but determined look.

"Sister Lan, with this terracotta figurine accompanying Wei Niang, Wei Niang will not be afraid." Shen Ling deliberately opened her eyes and didn't look at the terracotta figurines, Shen Lan looked at Shen Ling's appearance, and only felt warm in her heart, so she took out an apple from her sleeve and handed it over, "Ling Niang, give it, this is the fruit that Wei Niang asked me to bring you, you can take it and eat it." ”

"Ahh Seeing the apple in Shen Lan's hand, Shen Ling exclaimed, she had eaten this fruit, it was very sweet and crisp, her father had brought it to her when he went out in the past, she liked to eat it, but she didn't expect Shen Wei to bring her one, and suddenly she felt a little reluctant to be swept away.

Shen Lan looked at Shen Ling and smiled, walked over and touched her head and said, "Sister Lan still has something to do, so I won't tell you, hurry up and go into the house, don't run around recently, especially don't go out of the village, you know?" ”

Shen Ling nodded, said goodbye to Shen Lan and went into the house.

Shen Lan then took the terracotta figurines to Shen Yunting's house, Shen Yunting's house was as peaceful and quiet as ever, Shen Lan shouted outside the door, and after a while, Shen Yunting walked out of it.

"Girl, why did you come back?" Shen Yunting asked, "Is there any news of Shen Lian?" ”

Shen Lan, who was originally in a good mood, couldn't help but feel a little heavier when Shen Yunting asked her like this, shook her head and said: "There is no news yet, I asked people to find it, but there is no news, this world is not peaceful, and I don't know where she went." ”

"I know, you asked someone to take Shen Lian's clothes and hugged the dog to find it, is there still no news?" Shen Yunting was also faintly worried, these homeless people couldn't do anything, Shen Lian was such a young child after all, if something bad happened, it would be bad.

Shen Lan shook her head, although Shen Lian was a little thorny, but Shen Lan didn't want her to get lost, such a world is already difficult, Shen Lian is a girl who runs away from home so casually, it is really worrying, and she also has a huge amount of money, although she has money and does not worry about food and clothing, but the child has no road guide, and he is alone, and he has encountered such a famine year, which is really worrying.

"What's the matter with your coming back today?" Shen Yunting asked again.

"Didn't my father keep all the grain this year, the big boss of the Black Tiger Village said that he wanted to buy grain, so I wanted my father to sell the grain." Shen Lan replied, "So today I brought Yuan Da's family to pull grain." ”R1152
