Chapter 168: About Food

"Miss, in the nearby Baiyang Village, a few villagers asked me to ask Miss, they also want to plant potatoes, and ask if they can ...... the seeds evenly." Shi Zhuangtou nervously pulled the hem of his clothes a few times.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanyuan's approachable and gentle attitude, he wouldn't even dare to ask, where could this new grain be given casually.

It was only after the floods, the plague, and the hardships of the nearby farmers that he had more words.

Zhu Yuanyuan originally wanted to wait for the planting to come out, and then see who was willing to plant it, so she would divide it, but now there are people who want to plant, and it's not impossible to think about it, just a few months earlier.

But Yan Bufan was the first to speak, "This matter, you have to think about it carefully, and then tell you the answer." ”

Yan Bufan is like a piece of 10,000-year-old ice, the pestle alone can put a lot of pressure on Shi Zhuangtou here, as soon as he spoke, Shi Zhuangtou couldn't help but shudder.

"It's... Be. ”

No matter what Yan Bufan thinks, Zhu Yuanyuan will not refute his words, she is not as good as Yan Bufan in terms of disaster adaptability.

Back at the Zhu family, Yan Bufan said, "It's just the beginning of the chaos, and it's not the time when the situation is at its most severe. ”

"Well, this golden shopkeeper has analyzed it with me." Zhu Yuanyuan looked at Yan Bufan suspiciously, waiting for him to continue.

"If the Ming Qi State completely collapses, then there will be no imperial court to collect taxes, but bandits who rob grain, or bandits, will begin to wreak havoc."

"Oh, do you want to say that the Pei family army will rob the people's food, and they are also bandits?" Zhu Yuanyuan consciously guessed the right answer, and looked at Yan Bufan with great interest, hoping that he would say that she had guessed correctly.

Yan Bufan shook his head, "Pei Jiajun's reputation has always been good, and it should not be robbed, but it may be taxed instead of the imperial court, and the people will supply them with food, and they will protect the people on this side." ”

"Hey, why is this so much like collecting protection money!"

"That's pretty much it."

Zhu Yuanyuan looked at the direction of Pingyuan County, it turned out that she had thought that Pei Jiajun would definitely fight the idea of grain, but she thought that it might be a purchase, and now what Yan Bufan said can be regarded as a transaction between the two sides, although it is not equal and not very reliable, but the situation is stronger than people, and the people have no choice.

"That's fine, at least you can buy peace."

Yan Bufan smiled, "The grain you provided and the harvest gave others a large share, aren't you a little unwilling?" ”

"The grain I provided, they have a harvest, and they have to pay it back, but if Pei Jiajun can protect the peace of the party, it is worth giving them a little protection money, I have nothing to be unwilling about.

If there is a shortage of soldiers, there are fights and killings everywhere outside, and as soon as I go out, I see dead people, bloodstained hula, even if I can be alone, how can I live such a bad life.

Besides, they take the grain grown by the people, and I don't grow it, I don't suffer a loss, this land is safe and stable, and my life is comfortable, you say yes. ”

Yan Bufan's soft smile is full of appreciation, Zhu Yuanyuan is open-minded, kind and straightforward, and her character is really cute.

"If only you had a good idea."

"This matter will be handed over to the golden shopkeeper to deal with, anyway, our family does not have to worry about food and clothing, and it is safe." Zhu Yuanyuan's big black eyes blinked, smiling, and there was no sorrow at all.

Born in troubled times, she can still be carefree, she is Zhu Yuanyuan, who makes her confident.

The matter was thrown to the gold shopkeeper, and Zhu Yuanyuan was idle again.

The villagers of Baiyang Village heard that the yield of potatoes per mu was as high as two or three thousand catties, and they all asked the golden shopkeeper for seeds and signed a contract.

Thirty percent of the harvest is not much, and it is not too much to say less, but if it is really two or three thousand catties per mu, three percent is enough for them to eat.

You can still plant two crops a year, and you don't have to starve if you grow a few acres, so the entire village of Baiyang Village has received seeds back.

As for whether the yield of two or three thousand catties per mu is true or not, everyone believes most of them, and with the medicine that Zhu Yuanyuan took out casually, the plague was solved, and all the grocery stores had to be fucked out, and Zhu Yuanyuan's ability was beyond doubt.

When the shopkeeper Jin was not there, Dr. Du would help take care of the store, and sometimes help take care of the fields, his specialty was medical skills, and when he came to the grocery store, he was useless, and he was idle every day.

Du Bingren often came to see Dr. Du, and saw that he was stronger than before, and he was very happy, he didn't know that Dr. Du was now practicing health preservation, and he could kill a cow with one punch, which was much stronger than ordinary reckless men.

"Dad, I'm relieved to see that you're doing well, I'm afraid you'll work hard here."

"What's so hard about work, I now boxing every day, and I can go to work in the fields, and I have more strength than those young guys in their twenties." Doctor Du straightened his waist and shook a pair of fists in front of Du Bingren a few times, ho ho and powerful.

"At the beginning, I thought that I would leave you to work in the store, but Boss Zhu was kind, you are so old, what can you do, and now you ......."

Du Bingren looked at Dr. Du scrutinically, and was puzzled, "Dad, why do I think you are stronger than the young man, this is not right, did Zhu Yuanyuan give you something to eat?" ”

"Don't think about it, in fact, there are some things that I can't say to you, anyway, you have to believe that Zhu Yuanyuan is a good person, and she is also a capable person, and she can't be a capable person."

Doctor Du can't say it to Du Bingren directly, even if he is his own son, he can only hint slightly, and how much he can comprehend depends on how smart his brain is.

But such an illusory thing is impossible to imagine no matter how smart you are.

"I don't think about it, even if I don't believe anyone, I believe you, you are my father."

Du Bingren couldn't guess it, and it was also expected by Dr. Du, but he still wanted to prompt, "In the future, you have to respect Boss Zhu, she not only has a life-saving grace for me, but also a friendship for teaching art, which can be regarded as half of my master." ”

Old Doctor Du is actually Zhu Yuanyuan's slave, but this can't be told to his son, his health regimen was taught by Zhu Yuanyuan, and Zhu Yuanyuan took him on the path of cultivation, so it is reasonable to say that his master is reasonable, but this can't be said explicitly, it can only be stopped.

Du Bingren listened in a daze, knowing that there were some things that his father might not be convenient to say clearly, so he didn't inquire blindly, there were rumors outside that Zhu Yuanyuan was a fairy, and it was said that it was a demon, anyway, Zhu Yuanyuan and her grocery store were extremely mysterious and couldn't be guessed.

Du Bingren replied respectfully, "Yes, I know ......." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone howling outside.

"Meet Daxian, ask Daxian for mercy, and save our family."

Dr. Du got up and looked out the door, and there was an old woman with two children at the door of the store, kneeling on the ground and wiping her tears.

Ah Rong rushed to the door and shouted, "What are you doing here, this is a place to do business, you have to cry elsewhere." ”
