Chapter 14: Surprise
An Lan was still wandering aimlessly in the car, and she suddenly thought about it, remembering that the rice she had been drying in the space for a long time, and it was estimated that all of them had been dried. Thinking of this, she retreated here, covered the curtain, drove the mule cart to the side of the road, and entered the space in an instant.
An Lan was right, these paddies could already be packed into the granary, but such a large pile would not let herself peel the husk of the rice and let it become rice, wouldn't it!
An Lan couldn't think of why, she simply didn't want to, she came out of the space in frustration and continued to wander.
After she gave the mule the order to walk randomly, she sat in the car leisurely and closed her eyes to recuperate, and after a while, An Lan felt that the car did not continue to walk, so she lifted the curtain and came out to see what was going on.
When she came out, she found the mule parked in front of a rice store, and it seemed that An Lan had seen saliva coming out of its mouth.
・・・・・・
An Lan was full of black lines, and scolded in her heart, you are a foodie, and you still want to eat rice???
"Huh, rice?"
An Lan muttered softly.
Wait, rice. An Lan was excited, where there is rice, you must be able to husk the rice, right? Probably can, right? She was a little unsure.
However, this green mule is going against the sky, and he actually ran to the grain store by mistake, which is really a lucky star sent to me by God! An Lan couldn't bear to look at the green mule's embarrassed appearance, so she took some rice stalks out of the space and gave them to eat. Because it is rice grown with space water, these rice stalks are very sweet, of course, An Lan has not eaten it, she doesn't know.
The mule sniffed it, tried to take a bite, and ate it all at once.
Anlan tied the mule to the door, and went into the store to ask the man if he could peel the rice.
Seeing that the guy's polite face just now was a little stiff, An Lan was a little speechless, is it difficult for him to be so strong? Just as she was about to leave, the man stopped her and said,
"Little girl, although we don't have any guests here who have such a request, it doesn't mean that we don't do this business, can you wait for a while? I'm going to ask our shopkeeper, do you think it's okay? ”
An Lan nodded in agreement.
The guy explained a few words to the guy next to him and went inside, An Lan stood in the store bored, seeing that there were not many customers in the store, An Lan decided not to stand there stupidly as a stake, she took a serious look at the things sold in the store.
It turns out that there are not many varieties of grains in this time and space, only rice, wheat, glutinous rice, red beans, mung beans, peas, and several grains, An Lan remembered the wide variety of grains in the supermarket in her previous life, and there were many varieties of rice alone, she not only sighed, ancient times are ancient times, and every qiē is so backward, if it weren't for the fact that she had space to produce immortal brew, it is estimated that she would still be in a state of hunger now!
Just when An Lan was thinking nonsense, the guy came out, and he was followed by a middle-aged man who was dressed more elegantly, he should be their shopkeeper!
Sure enough, the guy stood in front of An Lan and stopped, and said,
"Little girl, this is our shopkeeper, you said he can call the shots?" Without waiting for An Lan to answer, the man took a few steps back and left the vacant seat for his shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper walked up to An Lan and said politely,
"This girl, I just heard the guy say that you want to huck the rice, right?"
An Lan glanced at the shopkeeper strangely, she thought, isn't it just shelling? A little thing, what are you doing there, if I have a modern rice shelling machine, I will still look for you! I really wanted to yell loudly, An Lan thought about it and forgot it, but there was a slight hint of impatience on her face.
She said angrily,
"Yes, can't you here?"
The shopkeeper choked, and after a while, he said slowly,
"We open our doors to do business, as long as the guests have a request, and within our ability, everything is negotiable."
An Lan was shocked, she didn't expect the ancients to have such insight, it was really rare. Besides, ancient people are also people, not necessarily all fools, otherwise how could there be four major inventions and a series of innovations, An Lan really thought too much, and she forgot that she was now an ancient.
"Hehe・・・・・・"
An Lan was speechless, so she had to laugh dryly, her eyes were still locked on the shopkeeper's body, looking at him eagerly.
The shopkeeper did not continue to be polite to An Lan, and went straight to the point.
"Little girl, I don't know how much rice you need to husk, we have to determine the time according to the quantity."
Looking at the shopkeeper's sincere expression, An Lan didn't have that trace of impatience in her heart, so she seriously thought about how much rice she had.
The shopkeeper saw the little girl opposite with a puzzled look, and the corners of his mouth moved, wanting to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak.
An Lan quickly thought in her heart, in her previous life, the average yield of rice was about 700 kilograms per mu, and she had an acre of rice in her own space, how much rice was there?
An Lan was confused.
Whatever, just say that there are 1,000 catties, it shouldn't be much, right?
An Lan said the number worriedly, and when the shopkeeper heard it, he was very surprised, but there was no surprise on his face.
Seeing that the shopkeeper did not answer, An Lan said in a consultative tone,
"Shopkeeper, can someone help move it?"
"Huh?" Only then did the shopkeeper calm down the surprise in his heart and replied.
"That's right, I don't have a bag for rice, can I ・・・・・・?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand indifferently, and said casually,
"It's a small thing. However, the number of girls this time is a bit large, and it will take some time. ”
An Lan thought for a moment and asked,
"How long will it take?"
"Ten days at least."
"Oh, it's okay!" An Lan's heart that had just been lifted was relaxed.
"Little girl, where is your rice?" After speaking, he turned his head and whispered to the guys to find a few big pockets and weigh them.
An Lan came to the door with the shopkeeper, she climbed into the car first, quickly moved the rice out of the space, and put it in the car, fortunately, her car was big enough to barely fit it.
In this way, Anlan was almost drowned by the rice pile, but fortunately she evacuated quickly enough to escape.
She jumped out of the car and saw the shopkeeper waiting with two young men, she nodded with a smile and signaled that it was okay.
Without hesitation, the shopkeeper asked the man to take the big bag to the grain, and they did as he was told.
"Ah・・・・・・h
The shopkeeper was a little displeased when he heard this, and he walked slowly to the side of the car, and was about to scold the guy, but the guy on the left turned around and stammered excitedly.
"The ・・・・・・ of the shopkeeper・・・・・・ this ・・・・・・ the best rice I have ever seen・・・・・・
The shopkeeper didn't react when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "It's because you're too little knowledge, and you're making a fuss."
He lifted the curtain, grabbed a handful of rice in his hand, looked down, and almost jumped in surprise.
This, this is incredible! What is the origin of this little girl, the person who can grow such rice must be not small, and the shopkeeper suppressed the greed in his heart.
Tidy up your mood and smile at An Lan.
An Lan looked at him puzzled and didn't speak.
