If they have this kind of food, they don't have to sell their land, they can hold on until spring, and in the spring they will have wild vegetables to eat, and when autumn comes, they will have food again. But it has to be a good year, or else...... I can't imagine!

There was food again in Shenjia Village, I don't know how the news got out, and soon someone came to the gate of Shen Zhong's house to buy food.

Xiao Xia didn't have to go up the mountain to practice martial arts, he stayed at home almost all the time, and as soon as Shen Zhong opened the granary, he was blocked by Xiao Xia.

"Dad, you can't be soft-hearted, if you open the granary, maybe tomorrow, maybe in the afternoon, more people will come to buy food. Do you sell or not? ”

Shen Zhong frowned, looked at the grain in the granary, of course he was reluctant to sell it, but thought of the people who were begging outside. He couldn't be ruthless, and he couldn't save him when he saw death.

Xiao Xia saw Shen Zhong's embarrassment, and this matter was indeed a dilemma. The people outside were villagers from neighboring villages, and they had been running out of food for a long time, and when they heard that Shen Zhong's family had food, they came to buy food with the only amount of money left in the family in their arms. It is said that there is a newborn baby waiting to be fed at home, and the child's mother can't eat enough, where is the milk? That baby can only rely on rice soup to survive, and now there is no grain of rice at home, where does the rice soup come from?

"Dad, leave this matter to me!"

Xiao Xia turned around and went to the front yard with Chunhua, where stood a thin woman and a tired man, the woman was still holding a child wrapped in a quilt in her arms, the child seemed to be crying, but the cry was extremely weak.

"Do you still have goat's milk at home? Tell Feihua to come over hotter. ”

Haruka glanced at the kid and ran into the kitchen while calling for Feihua.

"You're here to buy food?"

The two of them looked at each other, a little puzzled, didn't they already agree to sell just now? Why did a little girl come and ask again. But if there is a request for someone, I still answered happily.

"Yes, we're waiting for Mi to help!"

Xiao Xia looked at the hanging money in the man's hand, and asked the two: "You can buy more than three catties of coarse grains and two catties of fine grains." How many days is enough for your family? ”

"How so? Isn't it coarse grain twenty wen a pound? Can be exchanged for five catties! The man was in a hurry, his eyes were red, and he looked at Xiao Xia's eyes very badly.

Xiao Xia smiled faintly. "That's the price we sell to our own villagers. Those from other villages came to buy, 30 wen for coarse grain and 50 wen for fine grain. Didn't my dad tell you just now? ”

"You profiteers, black-hearted villains!" The man pointed at Xiao Xia and scolded, the family has so much money, but it can only be exchanged for such a little food, and it can't last a few days at all.

"We're bad guys, you can go and buy somewhere else." Xiao Xia was still smiling and made a gesture of please.

"Daddy, forget it, the baby can't wait, where else can we find food!" The woman persuaded and persuaded, and began to suffer.

The man covered his head in pain, squatted on the ground, and didn't get up for a long time.

"Baby's father......"

"Let's buy it." The man stood up, and finally resigned himself to his fate.

Xiao Xia turned his head and nodded to Shen Fei, who turned around and went to the backyard.

At this time, Chunhua came with a bowl of fragrant hot goat's milk, and the child in the woman's arms probably smelled the fragrance of milk and cried a little louder. The woman cautiously turned around and coaxed the child wrapped in the quilt.

"Let's go into the house, let this child eat first, you adults can be hungry, but such a young child, beware of hunger."

When the husband and wife heard this, they both looked at Xiao Xia in surprise, and eagerly looked at the bowl of goat's milk in Chunhua's hand and swallowed their saliva.

"This is for us?"

Xiao Xia nodded and took the lead in entering the main hall. The morning in early spring was so cold that adults couldn't stand it, let alone a baby.

Entering the main hall, the husband and wife were a little cramped and uneasy, Xiao Xia asked them to sit down, but they didn't dare.

"Sit down, feed the child first, I have something to say to you."

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and then they dared to sit. Chunhua placed the bowl with goat's milk on the table next to them. The woman glanced at Xiao Xia gratefully, and quickly picked up the spoon to feed the child in her arms.

Xiao Xia waited patiently on the side, a bowl of goat's milk was not more, no less, and the child drank it all, which showed that he was really hungry. When she had drunk her fill, she fell asleep, and the woman almost wept with joy when she saw it.

"What are you going to do? How long will you be able to sustain this food? When the child was drinking, Shen Fei had already sent in a bag of more than three catties of coarse grain.

Xiao Xia pointed to a small bag of grain on the table, how much can three catties have? The people here all rely on physical work, and they eat a lot, more than three catties of grain, which is estimated to be only enough for a family to eat a full meal.

The man looked at the food on the table, lowered his head, and had nothing to say.

"You can sell me the land in exchange for food, and you can consider this method."

"We don't sell land." The man refused.

Xiao Xia didn't care and continued to speak.

"One acre of paddy field for 500 catties of grain, one acre of dry land for 400 catties of grain, you go back and think for yourself. Feel free to come to me when you've thought about it. ”

Xiao Xia's words, the man didn't think about it, picked up a small bag of food, got up and left with his wife and children.

Xiao Xia didn't stop her, she believed that in a few days, they would be back.

After that, Shen Zhong looked for Xiao Xia, and blamed Xiao Xia for selling the grain at a too high price, they were all poor people, and they could help if they could.

Xiao Xia looked at his father and asked innocently, "Dad, didn't you ask where this food came from in the morning?" I bought all this grain at the price I had just sold. The silver is still on credit, and if we don't sell it at this price, it won't be a loss. We in one village should be regarded as helping people, but we can't afford to pay for it in other villages. ”

Shen Zhong couldn't say a word when he was blocked, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Sure enough, as Xiao Xia expected, the news of Shen Zhong's family selling grain spread quickly, and many people came to buy grain in the afternoon, and there were even people from the backing town.

Xiao Xia blocked Uncle Qing and Jixiang at the door, you can buy food, at this price, you don't want to buy it.

Some people want to take advantage, just like the family in the backing town, in fact, there is no shortage of food at home, as soon as they hear that the price of grain is cheap here, they want to buy more and bring it back to the town to buy it at a high price. Unexpectedly, it wasn't much cheaper at all, it was still sold in limited quantities, and I turned around and left.

Those who really sold grain had no money and no food at home, and after begging bitterly, they only got one sentence, "If you have food, you can buy it with silver, or exchange it for land."

Shen Zhong's reputation soon stinked, and people from other villages scolded Shen Zhong for being a villain, taking advantage of the fire to rob, leaving no way for people to live, and not being able to die well in the future.

The people in Shenjia Village were silent, there was no comparison, they didn't think how good Shen Zhong was to the people in their village, this comparison, you know, Shen Zhong really took care of his fellow villagers.

But it's impossible to help Shen Zhong say anything? People will only scold them for standing and talking without backache, and they don't dare to help Shen Zhong speak, so let's be silent!
