Zhou Nan felt that the current situation was very good, at least until now, he had not interfered with time, space and history, and the world would not change because he Zhou Nan killed a group of more wild boars and killed a few bandits in this mountain, nor would it change because of a small worry-free village in the depths of Taihang Mountain, nor would it change because of the love between him and Gao Yun.

Now, he has made up his mind to live a lifetime with the person he likes in this Taihang Mountains. Even if there is no Gao Yun, he will guard this place as before.

A few days later, Zhang Yi and the three groups of people who had gone down the mountain to buy grain came back one after another

The first to come back was Zhang Yi, who seemed to be the closest to him, but it really made Zhang Yi run thin legs. Zhang Yi went to the nearest Yizhou and Zhuozhou. In the past few days, Zhang Yi has gone to these two state cities. The governor of Zhuozhou City is Guo Yaoshi, with 8,000 resentful troops stationed in Zhuozhou City, and a small number of Khitan troops led by Khitan supervisors. Zhuozhou City was originally poor, and now it is rumored that the border army of the Southern Dynasties is going to fight, because now all industries in Zhuozhou City are withering, business and travel are isolated, and the grain and grass allocated by the Khitans to Guo Yaoshi have been halved, and even the city gate defenders in Zhuozhou are beginning to starve, let alone be able to buy food. Zhang Yi was not reconciled, and went to Yizhou, Yizhou Zhizhou Gaofeng, there are thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in the city, but it is less than the city of Zhuozhou, plus it is far away from Yanjing, and the emperor is far away, Zhang Yi finally bought a hundred stone millet from a farm in the countryside and came back, one hundred and fifty wen per bucket, although it is Chen, it also cost nearly two hundred yuan.

Although the food bought back is not much, it is enough to last for a while. At Lao Zhengtou's place, Gao Yuan, Zhou Nan, and Lao Zhengtou listened to Zhang Yi talk about buying grain.

Lao Zheng Tou said: "It's just that the Jin people are coming, but I don't want even the people of the Southern Dynasty to take advantage of the fire to rob, it seems that this world is going to be chaotic again." ”

Gao Yuan also said: "He beat them by himself, and we are at ease in the mountains." But if you can buy more of this grain, you will have to buy more. ”

Zhou Nan thought about another thing, and he said to Lao Zheng's first few people: "The news that Mr. Zhang heard is more important than buying back the grain. It seems that every once in a while, I will have to go down the mountain for a walk. The more chaotic the world, the more important this news is to us who live in the mountains. Gao Yuan said disapprerovingly: "We are in the mountains, what does it matter what happens to him outside?" Old Zheng Tou knew that Gao Yuan was a casual and habitual character, and he was impatient with this, so he said: "If there was no news that the princess of Liao Kingdom said that the Jin people had called, where would she think of buying grain?" If you don't go down the mountain to buy grain, how will you know that even the people of the Southern Dynasty are calling? If we didn't have the extra grain and rice we bought, wouldn't our village starve? Zhang Yi nodded silently, no matter how chaotic the world is, just don't harm the people, having a bite to eat, and being able to live is a big deal.

It was Liu Zongwang who came back half a day late with Zhang Yi, and Liu Zongwang, who went to Baozhou, bought the most grain, but he had a bitter face. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Zongwang said, it turned out that Liu Zongwang first went to the Guangxin Military Field of the Southern Dynasty, which had been shut down, and the border gate was closed to people coming and going. Liu Zongwang sold moonshine a few years ago, and he knew a few locals, but he couldn't go there to find it. Liu Zongwang looked for other places nearby where he could buy grain, and later a Miya man in a town approached him and said that he could sell grain to him. Liu Zongwang followed the tooth man to a foot shop in the countryside, Liu Zongwang looked at the rice and wheat, which was mixed with half of the chaff, and the price was 200 wen per bucket, seeing that Liu Zongwang had no intention of buying, the tooth man was not reluctant, and said to Liu Zongwang that in a few days, the imperial army would come over, and if he bought it again, he was afraid that there would be no more of this. Liu Zongwang, who said it, gritted his teeth, bought 200 stones, and hired a car to pull it back.

Liu Zongwang originally wanted to buy more grain back through Baozhou's own relationship, but not only did he not buy more grain back, but he still bought some old rice at a high price.

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "Money is something outside the body, I am very hungry, Chen Mi can also live, who can bite the gold and silver?" This time, Uncle Liu has worked hard, and these 200 stone grains are the great credit of Uncle Liu. At present, the 300 stone grain and rice that you and Uncle Zhang bought back are enough for us to last until the wheat harvest. The news brought back by Mr. Liu can be confirmed by what Mr. Zhang said, and it seems that it will not be peaceful. Thanks to our early preparations. ”

Now only Gao Bingchang, who went to Yanjing City to buy grain, has no news, but Zhou Nan and Lao Zheng Tou are most concerned. What Zhou Nan hopes is to rely on this steamed wine to open a financial road for the cottage. For this reason, Lao Zheng Tou gave up all his inventory.

Counting the time, Gao Bingchang and his party should also come back. Even though it was half the way away from Zhang Yi, it had been four days since Zhang Yi came back. In the past few days, Lao Zheng Tou has been like a resentful woman, walking twice a day on the halfway road to the cottage.

The first to come back was Zuo Xiaosi, who happened to meet Lao Zheng Tou, who was doing "Wangfu Stone" on the mountainside, and Lao Zheng Tou hurriedly asked him how his steaming wine was. Zuo Xiaosi only said, "It's all sold", so he left Lao Zheng Tou and went up the mountain to find Zhou Nan first. Lao Zheng Tou waited for a while, only to see Gao Bingchang and Zhou Fu come up together, Lao Zheng Tou heard that the wine was sold, although he felt sorry for the steamed wine, but when he heard that it was sold, he was also happy. Busy with Gao Bingchang and Zhou Fu went back to the cottage to see Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan had already received Zuo Xiaosi's report, and when he heard that the wine was sold, he was also happy, and he and Zuo Xiaosi came to the gate of the village to greet Gao Bingchang.

When Gao Bingchang saw Zhou Nan, he said with shame on his face: "The master of the village, the little old man is incompetent, and he hasn't bought a grain of rice, so I'm really ashamed to go back to the village." ”

Zhou Nan hurriedly comforted: "There is chaos outside, and it is normal that you can't buy it." Uncle Gao worked hard all the way and went inside to talk. ”

The group first came to Lao Zheng Tou's residence, Gao Bingchang first took out a heavy money bag from his body, which was ten copper coins, and said to Zhou Nan and Lao Zheng Tou: "There is not a grain of grain and rice, but this steamed wine is very unexpected. These five runs are the money from the sale of wine, and there are five runs ......"

Old Zheng Tou asked strangely: "What is Wuguan?" ”

Gao Bingchang's face changed with shame, and he said with joy: "In addition, these five runs are the customer's deposit. Let me wait and send twenty more altars. ”

Lao Zheng Tou was surprised: "Twenty altars, the deposit is paid for five times, Gao Lao'er, did you sell the wine to the emperor?" Then he turned to Zhou Nan and said: "Da Lang, this steamed wine is really my financial road for worry-free village." ”

Zuo Xiaosi interjected on the side: "It's not an emperor, but it's the emperor's neighbor." ”

Old Zheng Tou said strangely: "The emperor's neighbor is so rich? ”

Zuo Xiaosi explained: "It is a restaurant opened by a friend who I used to know with Brother Gao, at the north gate of the palace, and the restaurant is called Hongyan Restaurant. It's just that now the owner of the restaurant has changed. ”
