Chapter 273: A Strange Thing
Tian Fu thought more than the eldest son, "The old man just now should be a good person." Boss remember, tomorrow's food will be delivered, and when we sell it, it will be at the price at the beginning of the month. β
"Daddy, I know."
"Also, don't sell more for each household, at most ten catties."
"Daddy, why is that?"
Seeing his son ask him why, Tian Fu smiled weakly and said, "Think about it yourself?" β
The young man listened to his father's prompt and remembered one thing. "I'm afraid that others will resell grain in our hands."
"Hmm." Seeing that the eldest son guessed, Tian Fucai glanced at the shop weakly, and asked the second son to help him back to the house.
Xie Wen'an got out of the Tianji rice shop and turned a corner along the street and walked back. After walking at an intersection, I saw that there was also a rice shop not far ahead.
This rice shop simply looks at the appearance, and it is somewhat similar to Tian Ji rice shop, and it is worthy of the word shabby. And at the door of this rice shop, there is a small sign more than Tian Ji rice shop, which reads: Sold out.
"Sold out? In Tianji rice shop, there are still a few catties of beans to support the faΓ§ade, is it difficult that this family doesn't even have a few catties of beans? β
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Wenan stepped up his steps.
In Yao Ji's rice shop, Yao Wang, the shopkeeper and young man, was looking at the empty shop at a loss.
Alas, how to live these days! Just because of the successive snowfalls, the price of this grain has risen like a heel, and their shops have long been out of things to sell.
Their family can't afford to eat food, so they rely on a few catties of beans to fill their stomachs in the past few days, and when they think of their elderly father and mother-in-law, and their daughter-in-law who is about to give birth, he has a heart to cry.
What can I do? Just when he wanted to cry without tears, he heard someone at the door ask, "Is there anyone?" β
"Yes. But...... There is no food in our shop. Yao Wang rubbed his face and walked to the door helplessly.
When he saw the comer, he moved his lips, but he made no sound.
Xie Wenan looked at the young man with a sad face in front of him, and coughed lightly with his empty fist. "Young man, you are a rice shop!"
After listening to Xie Wen'an's question, Yao Wang laughed at himself a little and said: "Back to this uncle's words, we used to be a rice shop here, but now there is not a grain of rice in the shop..." Speaking of which, Yao Wang really wanted to cry, not for himself, but for his father and daughter-in-law.
Seeing the young man's face, tangled is more bitter than bitter gourd, Xie Wenan once again adopted the method of making a long story short. "Young man, I have some food here."
"Grain?" As soon as he heard the word food, Yao Wang's eyes glowed with blue light, revealing a longing light.
It's just that the blue light in his eyes, like an epiphany, flashes by, leaving behind a deep sigh. "This uncle, don't make the villain happy. In this year, even if you have food in your hands, you will not sell it. β
When I thought of it, my father and mother didn't even dare to eat boiled beans, so I kept secretly telling him to leave the food for my daughter-in-law. When he remembered what his father and mother said, his heart seemed to be dripping blood.
Xie Wen'an was almost frightened by this kid, calmed down, and then said softly to Yao Wang: "Young man, what I said is true, we have some food at home that we can't use, if you want it, we will sell it to you at the price at the beginning of the month." β
Yao Wang listened to Xie Wen'an's words, and thought that he had heard it wrong. "This uncle, do you know what the price of grain is now?"
"I know a rough idea!"
"Now that you know, why are you still selling at the price at the beginning of the month?"
After listening to Yao Wang's question, Xie Wenan only replied: "Young man, uncle, I used to be no richer than you." β
Yao Wang: "....... β
"Okay, we don't need so much nonsense, we have extra food at home, do you want it or not? If you don't, I'll go to the next one. β
"Yes, yes." At this time, Yao Wang finally reacted, and hurriedly shouted: Yes.
Xie Wenan saw that this kid was finally willing to go to the Tao, so he continued to ask, "What do you want?" I'll send it to you tomorrow. β
"I... 500 catties of bud rice noodles, 200 catties of sorghum rice noodles, plus... Is ten pounds of millet worth? β
Xie Wenan felt a little strange when he saw that Yao Wang only needed ten catties of millet.
Yao Wang also knew that what he had just said was easy to make people think too much, so he explained: "Millet, it's not for sale, it's my daughter-in-law who is about to give birth." β
"Oh." After listening to Yao Wang's explanation, Xie Wenan smiled. knows that filial piety to his father and mother, and also knows that he loves his daughter-in-law's offspring, and his character will not be wrong. "Tomorrow, I'll send the grain, but we have a word in advance, you can't buy this grain at a high price."
"Uncle, don't worry, the villain will definitely do what you say."
"Well, remember not to sell more at a time."
"Can't sell more?" Yao Wang just repeated a sentence, and then he understood the meaning of Xie Wen'an's words, and replied with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, the villain knows." β
"Okay, I'll go back now, and I'll send food tomorrow." After Xie Wenan finished speaking, he left without looking back. Now, he's afraid that the kid will cry to him.
Yao Wang chased him out and watched Xie Wen'an walk away before returning to the house. Closing the door, he had to hurry up and tell his father and daughter-in-law that they had met a good Samaritan today.
When Xie Wenan returned home, it was already past noon. Looking at Xie Wen'an, who was tired, Tong Shi was frightened. "Husband, where are you wandering around?"
"I...!" Xie Wen'an saw that the little maid was still standing next to her, so he said: "When I met an acquaintance, the two of us chatted while walking, who knew that if we were not careful, we would go away." β
"Oh, my husband hasn't eaten yet, has he?"
"Not yet." As soon as Tong mentioned eating, Xie Wen'an's stomach "gurgled" twice in response to the occasion.
Seeing that his husband was really hungry, Tong hurriedly went to the kitchen. Without the intervention of others, he quickly made a bowl of hot pimple soup. After coming out of the pot, he cut two coriander planted in a wooden pot by Yiqing, chopped them and sprinkled them in a bowl, and then happily served them to Xie Wen'an.
Xie Wen'an saw the green coriander floating on top of the pimple soup, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't say it: our sister Qing is just going to ponder." It's amazing that I can eat my fresh coriander on this big winter day. β
"But no, you haven't seen it yet, husband! Sister Qing also planted the garlic head in a wooden pot and said that she wanted to eat garlic seedlings. I just took a second look, and the garlic heads were really sprouting. β
"Really? After eating in a while, I'll go and have a look. β
When I was in Youzhou, I didn't know that garlic seedlings could be cultivated in winter. Tong and Xie Wen'an both regarded it as a strange thing for their daughters to plant garlic in wooden pots.
