Chapter 45: Millet and Rice

The big man was choked by Wu Zheng's question, and he didn't know what to say with a red face, but he heard Wu Zheng whisper: "The kid also relied on today's luck to win a few handfuls and take them to emergency, and there are a few who won thousands of taels over there, and the strong man wants to greet them, instead of wasting time on a small fish and shrimp like the kid." ”

Whether Wu Zheng is out of a thousand or not, this big man can see it clearly, on the contrary, he has lead in his dice, so that this kid can win, which can only show that this kid has the ability.

For these heroes in the rivers and lakes, people with real skills have always been admired, and of course they are not without jealousy, but there are very few decent people in this era, because in this era when personal reputation is more important than life, if a person has a bad reputation, no matter what industry he is in, he will not be able to get along.

In addition, Wu Zheng's eating appearance was not ugly, so the big man waved his hand and let him pass.

As for those who followed Wu Zheng to win the hi just now, and the rise of killing on the table at this time, whether they can have their own good luck is not Wu Zheng's concern, but after this day, there were suddenly many more people on the street who liked to step on dog shit, and as a result, all the gambling stalls in Yuzhou City were like dung pits, and as soon as people entered, they didn't cover their noses with stink, they were just spicy eyes.

When Wu Zheng came out of the gambling house, the time was just noon, and according to the agreement with the two little girls, he had to bring some delicious food back at noon.

So Wu Zheng asked for a roast chicken when he was in the restaurant, and the two side dishes were brought home to prepare lunch for the family.

As a result, he was counted down by the grandmother again, saying that he would not live, how could this ordinary people eat three meals a day, Wu Zheng smiled noncommittally, and went to the kitchen to get some rice to put in the pot, but when he opened the lid of the rice cylinder, it was clean enough to starve the rats to death.

When I turned around, I saw Xiaoying Xiaolan's two girls staring at the roast chicken in the lotus leaf and biting their fingers and drooling, but they tore off two chicken legs one by one, and the two little girls ran halfway through the yard with chicken legs and screaming, which made one happy, and when I remembered to let my grandmother taste it, I ran back to see that the chicken legs were already cold.

The grandmother, who just wanted to get angry, could only sigh helplessly for the sake of the filial piety of the two little girls, and then picked up the tongs and put them on the brazier, and put the two chicken thighs that were already cold on the brazier to roast.

It's easy to have diarrhea when you eat cold in winter, but you don't dare to let these two little girls get sick again.

Wu Zheng came over to take a look, and said that he had no rice at home and wanted to go out to buy some rice and come back, and as soon as he was about to go out, he was stopped by the old grandmother and said: "If you have money, you have to have some flowers left, and the rice doesn't have to be too expensive, just sell some millet and come back, that thing is cheap." ”

"Millet seeds?"

"Well, one pound of rice can be exchanged for five pounds of millet!"

Does this Bashu have a middle millet seed? Wu Zheng didn't know, for Wu Zheng, this name sounded like a northern crop, anyway, he had never seen this thing in the south in his previous life.

However, I heard my grandmother say that one pound of rice can be exchanged for five pounds of millet, and eighty percent of this thing can't be eaten there.

When I came to the grain store, the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, probably because of Wu Zheng's fur! I thought it was the little husband of the family, but as soon as I heard that Hu Zheng was going to buy millet, the whole person's face suddenly collapsed, and he waved his hand and asked the guys in the store to pick up customers, and he didn't have time to come to such a poor ghost.

"The guest officer wants to buy millet seeds? We have non-glutinous small yellow rice and glutinous big yellow rice in our store, what kind do you want to call the guest officer? "Dude.

"How do you sell the big ones, and how do you sell the small ones?"

"The big five coppers are a catty, and the small ones are three coppers a catty."

"So cheap?"

The guy was stunned, and he couldn't figure out how he was embarrassed to say that it was cheap for people who were already poor and could only eat millet seeds.

So Wu Zheng pointed to the white rice in the store and said, "How to sell rice?" ”

"If the guest officer wants to buy white rice, thirty copper pounds a catty."

That's not right! According to the price quoted by the guy, it is not right to tell grandma that one pound of rice is exchanged for five pounds of millet! Although his own money is easy to come by, he can't be wronged and slaughtered!

So Wu Zheng said: "Man, this price is wrong, right!" When did this rice become so expensive? ”

"The guest officer doesn't know, what you said was a good year, and now the south has suffered a disaster, and although we also grow rice in Shuzhong, we don't have enough to eat in this mountain and field, so the price of this rice! It will have to be longer, if the guest officer has the heart to buy, I advise the guest officer to buy it early, maybe it will rise tomorrow. ”

The guy said that there are many fields in Shuzhong Mountain, and it is true, Wu Zheng really didn't see anyone digging terraces on a large scale all the way down from the mountain, just relying on the relatively flat place between the two mountains, how much grain can be grown in a year? Even in the mountains, there are people who cultivate, and it is also dry land, and like Guanzhong, drought-tolerant crops such as wheat or millet are grown.

In the end, Wu Zheng weighed 40 catties of rice, 20 catties of white flour and 20 meters of vegetable oil, and after paying the money, he asked the guys from the grain store to send them to his home.

There is no way that the people who do business in this era are so real, so real to buy such a little thing and have to deliver it to the door, if it is like this in the future, then those who pedal three wheels will all starve to death.

After buying things, Wu Zheng walked around the city of Yuzhou aimlessly, this was the first time he came to the city of the ancients, no matter what he saw, it was fresh, the brick and stone paved streets, the rattling carriages, the crisp and pleasant copper bells and the shouts of the grooms replaced the harsh horns of that era.

The shouts of the guys on both sides of the street did not make Wu Zheng feel noisy, but listened to it quite charmingly, like a mountain song that came out of his heart.

Wu Zheng wanted to find Seinfeld in this Yuzhou city, but now it seems to be much more difficult than he originally thought, he thought that a mountain city in this era can have two streets to the sky, but it turns out that this Longtan County is just a name for the natives living in this city.

When the Wu Dynasty set up Yuzhou in Bashu and ruled Longtan County, this city was renamed Yuzhou City, and after 100 years of expansion, this city has already become the largest city in Bashu.

Since he couldn't find Seinfeld for a while, Wu Zheng had to wander around here aimlessly.

This visit was two days, Wu Zheng almost visited the entire city of Yuzhou, but the result was still nothing, Wu Zheng felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and he had to find someone to help.

But who can I find if I am not familiar with life here? Thinking about it, the only person I know in the entire Yuzhou City may be the only one I know, and only his old man's character will not worry that she will not be taken to the prison in Longtan County before he finds Seinfeld.

Although there is no clue about finding Seinfeld, my aunt's condition has improved a lot in the past two days, maybe just like Wu Zheng said, human life in this era is very hard, and if you have pneumonia, you can look like a person who is okay in three days.

In the morning, Wu Zheng got up early in the morning as before, first ran around the Lingjiang River outside the house for a while, and began to make breakfast when he came back, but as soon as he entered the kitchen, he found that his aunt was already cooking on the stove.

Although it is not accompanied by a burst of coughing, but every move is very swift, and it is not at all obvious that it looks like a person who has been in bed for three days before going to the ground.

"Auntie, why are you up, you're still making breakfast, let me come quickly."

The aunt stirred the gruel in the pot with a big spoon, covered the pot with the lid and coughed twice, then looked at Wu Zheng and smiled: "Come on, do you know how to cook?" ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Auntie underestimated her nephew, didn't she cook all the food at home in the past few days when you were sick?" You still praise your nephew's craftsmanship as good as the one in the restaurant, you forgot? ”
