The next day, the autumn was crisp, and the people in the Zhuangzi of Zhang and Wang began to harvest the grain in the field.

The adults bundled the grain in the front and carried it to the barre, while the little baby took a basket and carefully picked the ears of rice or wheat that had been missed.

The family members of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also used to make an appearance, which can be regarded as an exemplary role, but in fact, they don't need to be used.

Everything seems to be the same as usual, the only difference is that this year's harvest method has changed, in the past, each family harvested by themselves, and after collecting it, they went to the Zhuangzi to pay the baht, but this year it is the two Zhuangzi who provide food together, everyone starts from a piece of land, collects all the grain, and piles it in which place it is received, and makes a mark.

The advantage of this is that everyone has a kind of competition when they are working, and no one is cheating and cheating, who does how much, they all watch, if you really want to be lazy, you are embarrassed to open your mouth when eating.

At this time, Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao also watched on the side, pieces of rice and wheat were cut down and transported away, everyone was full of hope, Zhangjia Zhuangzi because of the reward of the 100 households, so he could pay less money and grain to the 100 households.

said that it is a hundred households, but in fact, it is a hundred people, otherwise, everyone will become one household together, and 10,000 people can also get it out, and Wang Juan's family will not have this treatment, and they will have to pay as much as they want.

"When I collect the grain, give some of your family to my family, and my family will have to pay a lot more." Wang Juan felt unfair when he thought of this, the 100 households of Zhang's Zhuangzi were better than Wang's Zhuangzi, because they didn't have to hand it over, and the Zhang family heard that every year they would collect a little less and leave more.

"Why? The two Zhuangzi did not make accounts together, I have an account of my own, you have to give, take the two of us to give, you can't use my family. Zhang Xiaobao objected, this kind of thing can't be confused, his money has not been touched, and it is all under his own control.

"Then I will take two hundred horses of silk from our treasury and give them to my family." Wang Juan said angrily.

"Take it, how much is 200 horses? One horse is two hundred wen, two hundred horses are forty thousand wen, and forty taels of silver are given. Zhang Xiaobao looked indifferent.

"Stingy, what are you eating today, and you still eat Tongzi chicken?" Wang Juan said a few words, and he didn't want to get entangled in this kind of thing.

"No, there is something better today, look at the field, what else is there besides food?"

"There are still people." Wang Juan replied.

"In addition to people, look at it, it's still flying there, chasing and jumping, grasshoppers, eat this today, let their children help catch it for a while, I will exchange soybean oil, go back and get the oil to fry, it's fragrant and crispy."

Zhang Xiaobao pointed to the grasshoppers flying back and forth in the field, swallowed and said.

"Okay, when the cutting is finished, let them catch it, and let the chicks out, so many chicks hatched from the cherries, and now they can grow a lot of meat."

Wang Juan doesn't reject this kind of thing, she didn't eat less when she was training before, let alone cooked, she still stuffed raw food into her mouth, and a stream of green water came out as soon as she bit it, and she just survived the nausea stage.

When it is time to eat at noon, there are more people, it can be said that men, women and children are in battle together, and the lunch at noon is relatively simple, with fried radish slices with meat and meat, and egg and cucumber soup, which is enough to drink.

In this way, they were busy for three days in a row to harvest the grain on the two Zhuangzi, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also continued to eat fried grasshoppers for three days, and a piece of chicken was released.

"Little boy, thanks to the chickens on the Zhuangzi, otherwise I would have to let these grasshoppers eat a lot this year, don't look small, I can't stand more, while beating the grain, I also have to feed the grasshoppers."

Xiaohong also ate two meals, and felt that the taste was really good, so now she is carrying one and stuffing it into her mouth, and she sighs with emotion.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan glanced at each other thoughtfully, smiled at the same time, and Wang Juan spoke.

"Xiaohong, go and call Steward Zhang."

Xiaohong didn't know what the two little ancestors were going to do, so she ran to the back and called Steward Zhang, and she began to eat again.

"Little boy, little lady, are you two looking for me?" The steward was puzzled.

"Well, after crossing the bridge over there, it's Gejiazhuang, right? Have they not finished their food? Wang Juan pointed in the direction of that side.

"Yes, they don't have a little boy and a little lady in our family, they arrange people to harvest together, and they all harvest separately, which is more than a day slower than us." Steward Zhang replied.

"Then I'll leave it to you, you drive the chickens on our Zhuangzi and help over there, it's not easy for everyone, let the chickens eat and help them eat some grasshoppers, it's also considered a virtue, let's not do any good, Bai Gang, go."

Zhang Xiaobao continued, and made a compassionate appearance, people who don't know really think how kind he is.

Of course Steward Zhang wouldn't think so, who are the little boy and the little lady? I won't do anything that is not beneficial, and as soon as I heard this, I understood that the chickens on Zhuangzi were obviously good in the past two days, and they all ate the grasshoppers.

I didn't hesitate at the moment, called a few people, first got two old hens to lead the team in front, and a group of chickens rushed over there, sure enough, when I arrived at the place, people had to thank him, watching the chickens eat grasshoppers in their fields, and kept talking about the benevolence and righteousness of the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang.

I don't worry about the chickens eating the grain, there are grasshoppers, who eats the grain, it takes a lot of effort to catch it, the chickens chase it as if they don't know how to be tired, the two calves are tightly upside down, pulling while eating, and fattening the ground.

The biggest beneficiary is those villagers, grasshoppers eat food, their owners don't care, how much they should pay, they all take advantage of the rest to come over to thank them, so that Steward Zhang has a good time.

Waiting for the grasshoppers in Gezhuang to eat almost, and then drive the chickens to other villages, even if the harvest is good, there are grasshoppers when threshing the grain, and there are also grasshoppers in the field, and the chickens have been eating for half a month, and the one that eats only one is called a fat ah, and the head is about to shrink into the neck, and it is like a small ball when it walks there.

Just when the chickens were eating, the two families of Zhang and Wang moved, collecting grain everywhere, it was the autumn harvest, this year's year was good, the price of grain was at the bottom, the two Zhuangzi were divided into four groups, there were far and near, buy with money, buy with silk, exchange with other things, the price can be slightly higher.

is in the trust of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan for the things they have made these few times, the two Zhuangzi are old, and in the end, even if they don't make much money, they can't lose it, and this trust also makes Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sigh.

"Say, the grain is almost harvested, and there are warehouses everywhere in the Zhuangzi, what are you going to do with this grain?" Wang Juan has been thinking about this for a long time.

"Okay, I said, some of them are going to be given away for free, and some of them are going to be sold elsewhere for a high price, and it is estimated that there will be a little surplus in the end." Zhang Xiaobao finally said.

"Where to sell, where to send?"

"Taihang Shandong, Henan, and chickens, when the time comes, just send over to raise, the eggs are sold on the spot for money, with the money from selling eggs in Shandong Linhai to buy a large number of dry seafood, the sea freight back, another amount of money." Zhang Xiaobao squeezed out little by little.

"If you give it away, you will ask for it, and you will buy it if you sell it at a high price? Chickens will be big next year, what to eat in the past? Wang Juan also cooperated with Zhang Xiaobao and asked one after another.

"According to historical records, Tang, Kaiyuan three years of drought, locust plague, this year's harvest should be relatively the same as in the past, but there is already a drought, and there are more grasshoppers, and it will be revealed next year.

I'm going to exchange the food I sent for an official reward, and drive the chickens over to eat the locusts, which is considered a meritorious service, right? The grain sold has to be sneaky, and you can't afford to pay for it. ”

Zhang Xiaobao finally said his plan, and Wang Juan nodded.

"It's so calculating, no wonder you went crazy and made ideas to make money, just to collect food, and in the end it was to keep the reward of the hundred households for your family, admire, but, Comrade Zhang Xiaobao, my Wang family is also busy, what is the benefit?"

"This, this......, you listen to me, this needs to operate, and then the benefits of your family are indispensable, you go with me, I will teach you how to say and how to do it, of course, this is not a lie, you must be rewarded for doing good things.

How to say that, that is, if you do a good deed without asking for anything in return, in that case, there will be fewer people who do good deeds, and if someone really wants to reciprocate, then others will say about him, so we have to leave a way back for others. ”

Zhang Xiaobao spoke eloquently, and Wang Juan pouted, "It's not the story of Confucius, and I don't know if there is such a thing, just to make excuses for yourself to reap benefits, I believe you once." ”

"Well, don't tell anyone else, especially my father, who knows that I sell grain at a high price, and if I don't get it, I will donate that grain, I don't want to lose money." Zhang Xiaobao looked around like a thief, even if he and Wang Juan used lip language.

"Look at what scared you, you really have a thief's heart, and you know it's wrong? But I still support you, why give our things to people for nothing, they are all exchanged for labor. Wang Juan smiled and leaned on Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao's actions just now were really interesting.

The two of them discussed it, and they settled this matter, and then found Song Jinggong and began to arrange other things, selling soybean oil.

"Little boy, how to sell soybean oil, I'm afraid that others won't buy it." Song Jinggong was a little unsure when he heard this, especially not to let him deceive.

"Of course no one buys it directly, go to Sanshui County, get a stall, reconcile the noodles, fry them in oil, sell them to others to eat, and wait for others to eat, of course the taste is different, they ask you, or you find someone to ask deliberately, understand?"

Zhang Xiaobao guided it, and Song Jinggong immediately understood, "I know, when the time comes, I will say that the oil is good." ”
