Chapter Seventy-Six: Be Prepared
Liang Wei is full of poetry and books, but he often goes to various Zhuangzi to inspect, and he is not the kind of nerd who has no theory but can only talk on paper.
Regarding Xu Lan's question, Liang Wei thought about it for a while and put forward his own suggestions.
With Xu Lan's strength alone, it is difficult for everyone to spend the winter safely.
Now, it is time to investigate first, whether it is only the harvest in the village that is not good, or the harvest in the nearby towns is not good. If it is a common phenomenon, then it means that there may be a disaster coming, and it is best to report the matter to the right and follow his arrangement.
Then, I had to go to the county town to buy some food that was easy to store.
Now that the weather is hot, it is best for those who are able to move up the mountain every day to save more firewood.
In winter, it is not only the problem of having a full stomach, but also heating a big problem.
"Lan'er, you are still a little girl, take care of your own family first." Liang Wei looked at Xu Lan's eyes listening intently to him, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her braids, "Leave the rest to the government and the village chief in your village to deal with." ”
"Hmm." Xu Lan nodded heavily.
Liang Wei didn't know that she had space, so he said that.
But Xu Lan thought more long-term.
Since Liang Wei, who has read a lot of books and has a lot of knowledge, said that this winter will not be easy, Xu Lan is ready to grow more food in the space from now on.
"By the way, if you are really worried, why don't I accompany you to the county seat tomorrow." Liang Wei suggested, "You can buy some seeds and chickens and ducklings in advance, one is to prepare for spring farming, and the other is that chickens and ducks can be kept at home and can lay eggs every day in winter." ”
"Brother Liang, you want to go to the county seat with me?" Xu Lan's eyes lit up.
She really wanted to go to the county seat to buy some seeds, but the last time she met Brother Xu, she always felt a little worried in her heart.
Now that Liang Wei is with her, those bad guys will definitely not dare to entangle her.
"You don't want me to come along?" Liang Wei remembered what he saw that day, the picture of Xu Lan and the person surnamed Long talking happily at the door of the yamen, and his heart was slightly sour.
Could it be that Lan Yatou wants to go into the city alone to meet the person surnamed Long?
"No, of course I want to go with Brother Liang, but I'm afraid that you're too busy on weekdays and embarrassed to speak." Xu Lan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liang Wei also laughed.
The two made an appointment and separated.
On the second day, Xu Lan got up early in the morning. She first walked around the house and found that Chen and Xu Dahai were not there, so she fetched water and washed.
Zhang's heart suddenly moved when he saw his daughter's smile on her face and carefully combing her hair, and asked, "Lan'er, where are you going today?" ”
"Go to the county seat and buy seeds." Xu Lan combed her hair neatly, and deliberately turned out the red rope that Zhang gave her during the Chinese New Year.
Zhang helped her tie her head, and while secretly observing Xu Lan's expression, she asked, "Are you entering the city alone?" Otherwise, I'll call your father to come with you. ”
"No, no, no." Xu Lan's eyes flashed a little shy, she cleared her throat and pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Liang is going with me?" ”
"Brother Liang?" Zhang immediately understood, "But that Liang Gongzi? ”
"Well, he's fine." Xu Lan always felt embarrassed to mention Liang Shen's name in front of her mother for some reason, "He happened to be going to the city to run errands today, so we made an appointment to be together and have a care." ”
The Zhang family is a person from the past, and he still doesn't understand Xu Lan's mind at this glance.
She smiled secretly in her heart, her own Lan'er has grown up, and she is also interested in someone.
But when he thought of meeting Liang Shen on weekdays, the other party's unintentional bearing made Zhang feel difficult.
That Liang Shen looks like everyone's son, and his fingers are delicate and delicate, so he must be served by someone on weekdays. The clothes he was wearing, although he didn't want to be as golden as those big men in the county, but the Zhang family knew that the materials for Liang Shen's clothes were ordered.
Such people also came to their small mountain village for some reason.
Looking at his appearance now, he takes a lot of care of Lan'er on weekdays, and it doesn't seem like he has no intention at all.
But...... Zhang sighed, as the saying goes, the door is right, even if Liang Shen really likes Lan'er and is willing to marry Lan'er, will his family agree?
Not to mention anything else, the Xu family is not a rich family in the village.
In the eyes of the people in the city, I am afraid that they will not look down on them at all.
But seeing Xu Lanxing's rushing appearance, Zhang didn't say anything, just helped his daughter clean up and dress up, and after a few more words, he watched her leave.
Liang Wei was waiting for Xu Lan at the appointed place, and when he saw that she was dressed up very neatly today, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
He is a young master who grew up in the rouge pile, and he has seen all kinds of warblers and Yanyan at home in the past, but Liang Wei is extremely tired of them. Now that I see Xu Lan dressed plainly, with no grease powder on her face, and even no decoration, I can't help but feel that she is fresh and elegant, and extraordinary.
"Let's go." Liang Wei looked at Xu Lan and thought more long-term.
Perhaps, he has to plan carefully to see how he can keep Xu Lan by his side for a long time.
When the two arrived at the county seat, they began to look around for a place to buy seeds.
Xu Lan also inquired about a lot of information by the way.
It turns out that this year's harvest is not very good, not only in their village, but also in the nearby towns and villages.
Some active-minded merchants have begun to look at the hoarding of grain, and the price of vegetables in the city is getting more and more expensive day by day.
"The seed doesn't." "You'll come back tomorrow." "The seeds have long been taken away by the big trading houses."
Xu Lan asked around, and the seeds that were originally excellent to buy have now become scarce.
It seems that not only did she see the problem, but someone had already prepared in advance and began to buy seeds on a large scale.
"What can I do?" There are still a lot of grains and cabbage in Xu Lan's space, but she always feels unsteady. If she can't buy more seeds, she's afraid that she won't have enough food in her space to survive a winter.
Liang Wei saw her embarrassed look, and said: "I have some ways at home, when I go back to write a letter home, someone will send things over in a few days." ”
"This ......" Xu Lan instinctively wanted to refuse when she heard that Liang Wei wanted to ask for something from home.
Originally, there was a huge disparity between the identities and status of the two, if they took Liang Wei's things again, Xu Lan would always feel uncomfortable in her heart when they got along in the future.
At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, Xu Lan saw someone walking straight towards her not far away.
After Chen Ruoran's incident, she was extremely vigilant wherever she went.
Seeing this, Xu Lan turned around suddenly, but saw a familiar face.
"Is that you?" Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet you today." ”
After seeing the person coming clearly, Liang Wei's face standing beside her suddenly became a little gloomy.
