Chapter Seventy-Eight: More than 100 catties of rice
Mrs. Gu also felt sorry for her son, and grabbed Gu Yuanwai's whip and refused to let go: "You really want to beat your son!" Those discerning people can see that this is Xu's game. ”
Gu Jiafu hurriedly said: "Yes, Dad, I said that Su Yuyan forced it herself, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”
It's okay not to say this, but when you say it, it makes people even more angry: "Shut up, flies don't bite eggs, if you clean yourself, then Xu's can design it on your head?" Why didn't you see her to design Qi Qian, the son of Qi Yuan! ”
Gu Jiafu has nothing to say now.
Gu Yuanwai threw the whip heavily on the ground: "I would have let you marry Yuyan a long time ago, you have to drag it out willfully." Tomorrow, I will quickly call the matchmaker and set a date to get married, if you dare to say anything more, I will kill you, and I will not have your son. ”
The matter has come to this point, and Mrs. Gu has no choice but to disagree.
Different from the Gu family, the Su family was beaming, Su Yuyan was treated by the Xu family, and she boiled tea to replenish qi and blood, and gave her a pair of gold jewelry, rewarding her for winning the Gu family, and waiting to go to the Gu family to enjoy the blessings.
Recently, Su Rongchang has been obsessed with taking concubines, and he is very interested in that singing, so he doesn't care about those individuals in the second room, otherwise if Su Rongchang knows, he will have to make a big fuss again, this kind of method will not be on the stage, and it will make people laugh to death.
No matter what, Xu and Su Yuyan's wish has been fulfilled.
The wedding date is really set after the autumn harvest.
For this reason, Su Yuyan also specially sent a wedding card to Dongzhuang Village, so that Su Yuyan went to attend her wedding banquet, she must let Su Yuyan take a look, it should be said that everyone can see, she is better than Su Yuyan.
Su Yuyan didn't have the heart to worry about anything with her, and the few big dramas that the Su family took turns on were also left behind by Su Yuyan, because the Zhao family was busy farming.
The whole village has no harvest, but the Zhao family is too busy, more than 100 acres of paddy fields, then take it back, and the house will not be full.
Originally, the villagers were still watching a good show, watching how the Zhao family harvested the grain, and Zhao Linxian said that the whole village could help harvest the millet and divide the grain.
As soon as these words come out, who doesn't want to do it!
Zhao Linxian can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, he doesn't have to work so hard, and he can make the whole village feel better, after all, those who eat alone will still be hated.
But Yang Shi said he didn't understand: "Then what's the point!" If someone contributes a lot and someone is lazy, it is not unfair, and it offends the villagers. ”
For this matter, Su Yuyan has already thought of countermeasures, after all, she has the blood of a big businessman in her body, and she has been exposed to it in the merchant's house, so she is quite handy for this kind of trivial matter.
According to Su Yuchang's method, it is to choose the weight, how much each person cuts, how much he beats, are registered, and if he cuts 1,000 catties of rice, he will give 20 catties.
For the sake of these rice, everyone who could work went down to the field.
Hearing the words of Su Yuyan and Zhao Linxian, the Wang family couldn't help but complain: "I thought that people were thinking of you as a brother, so they gave you work and rice!" Who would have thought that what is the difference between your brother and the villagers in the village when people give this treatment to the whole village. ”
Zhao Tiezhu's ideas are not as limited as Wang's, he thinks that Zhao Linxian's method is very good, there is a landlord's style, how can those landlords harvest rice by themselves, and they are not hired.
The whole village worked together to harvest the rice, and the yellow millet was drying everywhere, and it was a joyful look.
The village chief is busy and extraordinarily attentive, these ten miles and eight townships are all drought, but I am afraid that there will be disasters, but everyone in their village can eat, isn't this a great joy?
Luo Shi watched her husband busy with Zhao Sanlang, almost died of anger, and said cool words: "You have a really big heart!" As a village chief, you work so hard for others, do you wait for Zhao Linxian to ride on your head and then squeeze your position as the village chief? ”
The village chief glanced at his mother-in-law: "If you don't say it, you have long hair and short knowledge, if San Lang is willing to sit in the position of the village chief, I will really give it to him, the question is, does he have his eyes on the position of the village chief?" Look at it! Saburo is not easy! ”
Luo Shi thought it was funny, a farmer, and he didn't get into Xiucai, he couldn't be an official, and he couldn't become an outsider by relying on those few acres of land!
It's also infuriating to think about it, I knew that Su Yuyan was a lucky star, and how good my family was, then now it is my own family that has a bumper harvest.
The scorching sun, the millet has been dried for three or four days, and it can be put on the stone mill to grind into rice, this Zhao family was poor before, and there has been no stone mill, usually go to the same brother's house to borrow, this time Zhao Laohan also went to borrow the stone mill, and the previous difference, this time Zhao Laohan has not spoken, and people lent him the stone mill.
This made Zhao Laohan feel very face-saving, when his family was poor before, borrowing something was either to listen to small words, or to look at his face.
Zhao Linxian is seriously calculating this year's harvest, according to Yang and Zhao Laohan, the output of one mu of land in previous years was more than 400 catties, and this year, there are more than 100 catties of output per acre of land. This is really something that the Zhao family didn't expect.
Yang said: "It is said that Yu Yan is a lucky star, the Wang family, with her, can this yield not be high?" ”
Zhao Laohan didn't believe in this as much as the Yang family, but since Su Yuyan entered the door, all the things in the house have been doubled, and what is it if it is not a lucky star.
Su Yuyan didn't dare to take credit for this, and hurriedly said: "It must be that the seedlings brought back by the Xianggong are good, so the yield will be increased." ”
Wang also agreed with Su Yuyan's words: "It's not! The third brother and sister really have this ability, so let's just stop working, just put something on the ground and let the third brother and sister prosper. In this land, the third brother and sister have never helped, planting seedlings, planting seedlings, fertilizing, when did she intervene! This harvest is too much, why should it be counted on her head! ”
Yang glanced at her: "As long as you talk a lot, if you don't say anything, can you be treated as a dumb person?" ”
Wang's argument argued: "What I said is the truth, mother, you are partial to the third brother and sister, so everything is pleasing to the eye." ”
The Yang family was too lazy to take care of the Wang family.
The news that the Zhao family not only had a bumper harvest but also produced more than usual spread in the village, and they left some of the rice they had earned from their labor to make seeds.
In the past, with those old seeds, an acre of land was only more than 400 catties, so it was necessary to plant well and apply more fertilizer. When the Zhao family was farming, they didn't see any more fertilizer! It's just that there is more than 100 catties of harvest per acre of land, and the completion is like a pie in the sky.
And because Zhao Linxian is mixed with Fengxian seeds and old seeds, the rice that comes out is big and round, which really makes people look very happy.
The rice in Dongzhuang Village was originally slender, while the rice in Fengxian County was relatively round, but it was shorter than this, that is to say, Zhao Linxian's rice was a combination of the two kinds of rice.
The rice merchants in the town learned that Zhao Linxian had a harvest, and they came forward to ask for a purchase.
Merchants are more treacherous, with the lowest price to buy this batch of good rice, according to the market price, the price of rice in Xunzhen is three stones, but this is mixed with the rice of Feng County, how can it be sold at this price!
Several businessmen are spending money with Zhao Linxian, what Zhao Linxian is not afraid of is consumption, anyway, he won't delay anything, so much rice, and unmilled rice! After all, it is all his own, and there will always be people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy, to say that he did not take advantage of this year's drought to ask for a sky-high price, that is, it is equivalent to the rice price of Dongzhuang rice and Fengxian rice, one tael of silver and two stones.
To say that the price of this rice is not very expensive, this kind of rice is not available in the entire Xun Town, once the runner goes to the world, it is definitely a scramble to buy later.
This is the reason, but to buy so much grain at once, it is not a small amount, and this kind of rice can only be bought by one person, and then put it in the rice shop, in order to better make a lot of money, if several people buy separately, the price is not easy to negotiate, in order to grab business, maybe there will be malicious price reduction, and there will be no money.
For the Wang family, one or two pieces of silver and three stones are fine, which is better than smashing your hands! If no one buys it, so much rice! It's a pity to be eaten by rice worms.
Zhao Tiezhu knew that his mother-in-law had a lot of mouths, so he told her not to talk too much all the time.
When some merchants heard about Wang's situation, they were ready to buy some money to bribe Wang, hoping that she would help, and gave a lot of money, ten taels of silver.
Wang swallowed her saliva, and hurriedly responded, she didn't dare to marry Zhao Linxian and say that she still had some talk with Su Yuchang, so she took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy, when Su Yuyan was alone in the kitchen, Wang stepped forward and said: "Third brother and sister, who do you want to sell rice to!" ”
Su Yuyan didn't want to care about this issue, and believed that Zhao Linxian had his own ideas.
"Sister-in-law, this is a man's business, so let's not listen to it as a woman!" Su Yuyan originally wanted to cooperate with Yufengzhai, which was the Qi family's industry, and she was afraid that Zhao Linxian's vinegar jar would be overturned, thinking that she was thinking about Qi Qian! So I just didn't open my mouth.
The Wang family didn't find out what he wanted in Su Yuyan's place, and he was really unwilling to get the ten taels of silver, so the profiteer offered to see how much rice there was in the rice warehouse.
The Wang family really didn't have any precautions at all, so he took the profiteer to the rice warehouse directly.
Because the Zhao family can't put so much rice, so Zhao Linxian rented the ancestral hall to put rice, the ancestral hall is surrounded by extremely high walls, and the door is guarded by one person.
It's also thanks to Zhao Linxian and Su Yuyan who came to check and find out, otherwise I don't know if all the rice was moved.
found that the rice thief was stolen, Su Yuyan rushed faster than Zhao Linxian, and went up directly and kicked the rice thief, punching and kicking.
Zhao Linxian was afraid that Su Yuyan would be injured, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
This commotion disturbed the nearby villagers, who rushed to the scene with torches.
