Chapter 168: Grain
"Mother said, after the last time I was sick, I dreamed of the Bodhisattva of the Purple Bamboo Forest, after my mother woke up, the disease gradually improved, and now, in the dark, my mother seems to have some instinctive premonitions, this year is afraid that it will be a disaster year, so, let you think about the food." Huang Li's five points are true and five points are false, and Huang Congjiang is humane.
"What old woman, you still have this kind of opportunity, then you don't want to become a god." Huang Pingcheng, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard this.
After Huang Li glanced at Huang Pingcheng, he didn't speak.
"Mother, what are you going to do?" Huang Congjiang asked.
"Mother plans to use all the money we have now to buy grain for future food, didn't our family build a cellar? If you put it in the cellar, it won't be bad, and the food can quickly become cash, so you don't have to worry about buying more.
If there is no disease or disaster this year, these grains can also be sold quickly and turned into cash. Huang Li repeated what Huang Yiyun said before.
"Mother, will this really be a disaster year?" Huang Liu asked worriedly.
"Mother, this hunch will be there nine times out of ten, but some things can't be explained."
"Cheng, mother, you give money to your son, first leave two taels of silver for backup, and all the other silver in our family will be used to buy grain." The affairs of the Huang family are all decided and handled by the Huang Li family, what Huang Li said is too bizarre, but Huang Congjiang still obeys his mother's words.
Because Huang Li was seriously ill before, he let his family separate, and he avoided military service.
Maybe it's because Huang Li won't die, there must be a blessing after that, he really dreamed of a Bodhisattva, and maybe he has this kind of premonition that is difficult to explain.
On the morning of this day, Huang Congjiang, Huang Liu, Huang Conghe, and Huang Jiang did not eat breakfast, and walked to the grain store in the town with the fifteen taels of silver given by Huang Liu.
Huang Congjiang had already planned that if there was really a drought, this grain could only be more and not less, so Huang Congjiang planned that the fifteen taels of silver could only pick up the cheapest grain to buy.
The grain store in the town has 15 copper plates for white flour, 9 copper plates for cornmeal, 6 copper plates for sweet potato noodles, 4 copper plates for black flour, and 2 copper plates for bran
15 copper plates a pound of fine rice, 10 copper plates a pound of fine rice, 8 copper plates a pound of brown rice, all the rice is too expensive to be discharged, and Huang Congjiang picks up all the cheapest black noodles to buy.
Fifteen taels of silver, the Huang family bought more than 3,000 catties of black noodles and went back.
After the grain store in the town did not have so many black noodles, they loaded a cart of the stock in the store for the Huang family with a donkey cart and went back, and agreed to send it to their family after the goods arrived, and the grain money had been paid.
Sometimes, it often doesn't need to be explained too much.
After a few days, the weather actually slowly warmed up, in February of previous years, when it was cold, I still had to wear this jacket, but now, I only need to wear two clothes to avoid the cold.
"The weather seems to be warming up a little quickly, isn't it?" Talking unintentionally is intentional.
"It's going to be a disaster." After Huang Congjiang heard Huang Liu's words, his complexion changed.
The faster the warmer it warms, the faster everything recovers, and the faster the plants grow.
The wormwood is starting to grow, and in a few days you can start picking the wormwood to make the wormwood group.
"Big girl, don't be busy, come to the eldest sister. The eldest sister has something to say to you. Huang Yiyun's mind wandered, and after seeing the big girl sweeping the floor in the hall, he beckoned to her.
"Eldest sister, you call me." The big girl came to the Huang family to do some trivial work for many days, although the Huang family persuaded the big girl not to do it, but the big girl stubbornly didn't listen, and the Huang family couldn't do it, anyway, it was also some light work, so I went with the big girl, after coming and going, the big girl was not shy and embarrassed before, and gradually let go.
The girl put down the broom in her hand and walked into Huang Yiyun.
Huang Yiyun smiled and pulled the big girl to sit beside her.
"Don't be busy, your family is swept and mopped every day, and the ground is bright, talk to the eldest sister for a while! Big girl, what month was your birthday? Huang Yiyun asked.
"Sister, what about my July 29th birthday? Sister, what about you? The big girl replied.
"Eldest sister, November 5th. Big girl, didn't your father give you a name? Is it just a big chick called? Huang Yiyun asked a little strangely.
"No? My male babies are ranked by big babies and second babies, and female babies are ranked by big girls and second girls, brothers and sisters are called like this, my father said, after our brothers and sisters get married, they will find Mr. Zhao to name us. ”
"Girl, the eldest sister has learned some words with the fourth brother, or the eldest sister will give you a name." Huang Yiyun smiled and touched the girl's head and asked.
I'm afraid that in the farmhouse, there are a lot of babies in this kind of rank, one is that the mud legs who are shaved in the field have no culture, so they are called so, and it is easy to say, and the other is that as the saying goes, the cheap name is easy to feed, so that the ranking can stand.
"Is that okay?" The big girl also has some anticipation.
"Well, the name should have been taken by your parents, you go back and ask your parents first, and then say, big girl, has your family started to raise seedlings and sow seeds now."
"Ready, my grandfather and grandma said that the weather will warm up quickly this year, and the weather will be suitable for the next two days, and the seedlings will be raised?" The big girl replied honestly.
"Big girl, don't you think the weather is a little abnormal this year? The recovery is very fast, there are unforeseen circumstances and people have good fortune and misfortune, this is not a good sign, don't be a disaster year! ”
"No, there is no disaster in our Qingshan Village, so don't worry."
"Oh, is it? Who did you listen to, we haven't had a disaster in Qingshan Village. "Even a little nine-year-old girl said that she had never caused a disaster and could not be convinced, let alone a group of adults, which was a bit tricky.
"My grandfather, grandma and my father said that. Our Qingshan Village has always been in good weather, and it is blessed by the Dragon King. Eldest sister, is our family afraid of a disaster year and not sowing seedlings? ”
"Well, I'm a little worried, I haven't sown seedlings yet." Huang Yiyun looked at the big girl and smiled, this girl has been doing housework for a few days from home, and after marrying the fourth brother, this heart is turning fast, and she is called her own family.
"Eldest sister can rest assured that sowing seedlings is, we have not had a disaster in Qingshan Village, okay?"
When it comes to breakfast, the big girl will leave the Huang family, never eat breakfast at the Huang family, and come to the Huang family every morning to help do some housework and things within her ability, although Huang Yiyun said that these things don't need to be done by the big girl, but the big girl still insists on coming to the Huang family every day to report.
Xu family.
"Grandpa, grandma, father, the eldest sister of the Huang family asked me if I had a name today, saying that she learned some words with the fourth brother of the Huang family and wanted to name me, and said that the name should have been taken by my parents, let me come back and ask my father and mother what to say." After the Xu family finished breakfast, the big girl said to the old man Xu and her father with a look of anticipation on her face.
