Fan Yu returned home and told his stepmother Granny Li everything he did in the field.

When Granny Li heard these words, she frowned and said to Fan Yu: "Yu'er, there is a famine in Chenzhou, I'm afraid that our Caoqiao Town will also be implicated." Chenzhou is adjacent to Xihua County, which is not close to us, but not far away. Now that you've met these escapees, I'm afraid there will be more people coming to Caoqiao Town. At that time, the price of grain in the town is afraid that it will rise sharply all of a sudden. You have to prepare in advance, go and buy some grain first, so that we don't have to eat these people when we get it. ”

Fan Yu was not in a hurry, he responded: "Mother don't worry, there are thousands of catties of wheat in the granary at our house, and we will not be hungry if we support this old man's family." When Gongzi Zhan and Master Bao Zhengbao began to provide food relief in Chenzhou, the famine would soon pass. If we go to buy grain at this time, I am afraid that it will raise the price of grain, make people's hearts panic, and add chaos to Zhan Gongzi and them. ”

He is really not in a hurry, about Chen Zhou's grain release Fan Yu is very sure of what will happen. At this time, when I go to buy grain, I am afraid that the price of grain has already risen, and if I buy high-priced grain, I will lose a lot of money.

But Granny Li insisted: "Yu'er, don't be careless, my mother has more experience." Once the hungry people run out of food, they may rise up. It's okay to just grab food, but I'm afraid that people will die. My son will store up more food to protect the hungry. And twist these hungry people into a rope, so that we can protect these family businesses in turn. Don't be reluctant to spend a little because of a small loss. Even if the family wealth is scattered, as long as there is a useful body left and a field in hand, is my son still afraid that he will not be able to make a comeback? ”

Hearing his stepmother say this, Fan Yu couldn't help but feel very admired for Granny Li. The godmother can say such a thing, and this kind of vision and insight is not something that those nouveau riche with small families can think of.

Although his stepmother is extraordinary, she is destined to lose money, which makes Fan Yu feel a little distressed.

However, Fan Yu thought about it, he and his stepmother would definitely eat and drink spicy food and spicy food in the future, and this little effort was really nothing. At this time, for these things, I can't make my stepmother unhappy.

And through this matter, even if you lose money, you can make your stepmother feel guilty about yourself, and the more you lose, the more guilty your stepmother will be, no matter how it is calculated.

"Okay, my mother is also kind-hearted, so I will listen to my mother. I'll take half of our family's money and exchange it all for food. Fan Yu beat Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and said sincerely: "If there are hungry people, you can save a few more people." ”

Although there are hundreds of families living in Caoqiao Town, there is only one grain store. But it also happened that the owner of the grain store was Qin Hu and Qin Yuanwai.

Fan Yu came to the Qin family's grain shop and offered to buy a batch of grain.

The people in the grain shop naturally recognized Fan Yu as Fan Sheng's son, and yesterday the king Bo deliberately went to Qin's house to propose marriage to Qin Yuanwai, and the guys and shopkeepers in the grain shop already knew about it, so they paid special attention to Fan Yu.

Seeing Fan Yu coming to buy grain, the shopkeeper surnamed He asked him to wait, and sent a guy with fast legs to run to Qin's mansion to ask Qin Yuanwai's idea.

If he sells the grain to Fan Yu easily, the owner will be unhappy, and he, the shopkeeper of the grain store, will be uncomfortable.

These things were all in front of Fan Yu, and Fan Yu didn't care. When you come to buy food by yourself, you are also taking care of the other party's business, can you refuse yourself?

Soon the guy came back and said to the shopkeeper He: "The clerk said that others can buy grain at a low price, if this Fan Yu wants to buy it, no matter how much he buys, it will be one percent higher than the price." ”

When Fan Yu heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "That's okay, it's all up to the staff." ”

The shopkeeper of the grain shop said meaningfully at this time: "Brother Fan, a stone of wheat used to cost more than 700 wen, but now it has risen to 800 wen and a stone. Add 10% of the price, but it is 880 Wen. Inside and out, a stone of wheat is a difference of more than 100 yuan. Isn't it that the little brother wants to accumulate the grain, and wait for the famine in Chenzhou to make a bigger scene, so that it can be sold at a high price? ”

Waving his hand, Fan Yu knew that this was the other party probing his tone, so he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper He has thought too much, I only have more than 30 yuan in my hand now, and I can only buy 40 stones of wheat when I am full." Even if you buy this grain at a high price, how much can you earn? It's just a precaution, lest there be a famine in Xihua County. ”

When the shopkeeper He heard this, he looked at Fan Yu with a look of looking at the buns, "You, you are still young and ignorant." Our Xihua County is only 200 miles away from Bianliang, Tokyo, which is not at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but also next to the feet of the official family. There is a famine in Chenzhou, and the price of food here has not risen much, which is the reason. Otherwise, the price of this grain would have risen a long time ago. Brother Fan listened to me, don't fight with Qin Yuan to save face. The young man was rejected from marriage, and he endured it and passed, so why throw away his family's money. ”

Fan Yu listened to it, and found that this shopkeeper He actually misinterpreted his meaning, thinking that he was here to fight with Qin Yuanwai. In the eyes of the other party, he is a loser who spends his family's savings indiscriminately.

It's just that Fan Yu is not easy to explain this kind of thing, but it doesn't matter, he didn't want to marry Qin Yuan's family, so let the other party misunderstand.

After smiling bitterly, Fan Yucai said: "Shopkeeper He, you don't need to say more, I will hand over the money to you, and send someone to send me the wheat into the granary at home." ”

"Okay, since Brother Fan doesn't listen to persuasion, then I can only do this." Shopkeeper He said disdainfully: "It's just that Brother Fan doesn't want to regret it, and then he will return the goods in the grain store for a refund, but it won't work." ”

Fan Yu had to nod and say yes, the other party thought that he was a loser, and that was really wronged.

The forty stones of wheat add up, which is more than 4,000 catties, and the granary of Fan Yu's family is immediately full. Looking at these wheat, Fan Yu was inexplicably steady.

The shopkeeper of the grain store went to the Qin Mansion in person and told the Qin staff what had happened.

When Qin Hu heard that Fan Yu had bought forty stone of wheat at a high price, he couldn't help but say contemptuously: "This son is impetuous and impulsive, and he can't do anything." Fortunately, I didn't promise the king Bo General Yu'er to allow him, which shows my foresight. Whether he eats or sells the wheat, it must have lost its value. ”

After Fan Yu finished reading the wheat in the granary, he went to see his stepmother, Granny Li.

"Mother, I bought another forty stone of wheat. Although the price given by Qin Yuanwai was 10% higher, it was all new wheat, and it was not a loss. Fan Yu said to his stepmother.

Granny Li sighed and said, "Yu'er didn't blame her mother, right?" Let you spend so much money, but you have been troubled by the Qin Yuanwai, and the price is still high, which really makes my son feel wronged. ”

Fan Yu knew what the result of Chen Zhou was, so he naturally didn't feel wronged, and immediately comforted: "What my mother says, my son is filial piety when he listens to his mother." This food saves people, and that is also a good deed. Heaven has eyes, and it will definitely make good rewards for good people like me. ”

On the other hand, since meeting Fan Yu, Zhang's family has temporarily lived in the house left by Fan Lian's family.

For Fan Yu's generosity, Zhang's family is grateful to him, and they can't wait to die when they get to work.

Zhang's father-in-law's real name is Zhang Ershun, and he came out with a large family to escape the famine, and met a good family like Fan Yu, and he also knew how to repay his kindness.

Therefore, every day the family gets up early in the morning and goes to the field to sow seeds without waiting for anyone to call them.

In just two days, the beans of thirteen acres of land were planted.

In addition to the work in the field, Fan Yu did not make any other arrangements for the family, which made Zhang Laozhang very uneasy. If you don't do some work for the Lord's house every day, you will become an idle eater. Once you are disliked by the master's family, this good life will be gone.

Therefore, Zhang's father-in-law instructed his eldest son, Zhang Tiansheng, who was more than 30 years old, to go to the wilderness outside the town to cut firewood and send it to Fan Yu's house.

Zhang Tiansheng had just chopped a load of firewood and returned to the town on his shoulder, when he met several acquaintances, acquaintances from Chenzhou.
