The next day, Uncle Liang had a splitting headache at night, holding his head and struggling from the bed, he looked around, this is the Liang house in Taohuadu?

The clothes on his body were also changed, and he touched around his body, and took out the grate comb from his arms!

Radix?

Isn't it a fantasy to see it yesterday when you were drunk? Did she really come to the tea noodle stall?

"Radiance!"

Uncle Liang screamed at night, lifted the quilt on his body, pulled his shoes and rushed out of the door, but the hangover made him drowsy, his steps were vain, and before he touched the door, he had to soften his knees-

"Young Master! What are you doing? I'm still drunk, and I'm going to toss myself like this, my wife is going to tie you up again, you forgot how to get a military order to return to Tongzhou, if it weren't for the life-sustaining medicine that has a taste of medicine that needs the peach tree roots in the peach blossom ferry, are you willing to let you come back when Mrs. Dang? Before the eldest lady returns to Beijing, you can't settle down a little! ”

As soon as Sang Bai entered the room with the hangover soup in his hand, he saw his young master shouting that name all over his mouth, and he stumbled and wanted to rush out.

Uncle Liang didn't have time to listen to Sang Bai's chatter at night, grabbed his arm, and asked urgently:

"I ask you, how did I get back yesterday?"

"Yesterday? Yesterday! Master, are you embarrassed to mention yesterday? You didn't let us follow, and we were drunk and poured at the gate, smelling of wine and cow dung! But I'm really glad that you remember to knock on the door before you get drunk to death, otherwise you will have to lie in bed for half a month after a night of rain! ”

Sang Bai is so angry that his liver hurts, this master is not worried, he is always unlucky!

Uncle Liang wrinkled his eyebrows and shook his dizzy head, he remembered that it was pouring rain last night, and the night was deep, how did she get him back to Taohuadu alone?

Also, why does he smell of cow dung?

*

Niujia Village.

Niu Qian is not at home when she goes out, and Mrs. Li still lives with Sanniang, she often goes to the city to look at her pocket, but now she goes to the vegetable field to take care of Bai Song.

Only Sanniang was busy at home, and when she saw Luo Shi get up, she said in a loud voice:

"Why don't you lie down a little longer? I'm cooking ginger soup for you, you were drenched in the rain yesterday, and you've walked so far, but you have to be careful, you're sick."

Luo Shi's throat smoked, and she waved her hand to signal that she was okay, although she was sore—

Don't look at Uncle Liang's thin and sharp night, in fact, he is very strong, just getting him into the ox cart used her strength to breastfeed.

Yesterday she stared at the grate comb for a while, and then decided that she must meet him and ask him what it was.

Do you mean to give her away? Just watching her go with Jiangzhou? Why do you send congratulatory gifts in advance?

Phew, she hasn't nodded yet.

He searched all the inns in Tongzhou City, it was impossible for him to rent a homestay in such a short time, if the inn was not, he could only go back to the Liang Mansion in Taohuadu.

It was late at night, and in Luo Shi's impression, there was only a tea noodle shop on the outskirts of the city and an ox cart pulling dung, and after closing the stall in the middle of the night, it would go in that direction.

So, she took her umbrella and went out of the city.

never thought that she didn't have to go to Taohuadu, but she picked up his drunken "corpse" halfway.

In fact, Luo Shi doesn't need to ask anymore, just looking at his painful and depressed appearance, even if she doesn't have his fatalistic murmur after drinking, she will understand......

"Why didn't you let me go? It's you in the dream, it's you when you're drunk, Ross, what should I do? ”

Why didn't she let him go, he couldn't afford to love him, she didn't dare to love, Uncle Liang, what should she do?

……

sighed secretly, and Luo's eyes were full of bitter loneliness. She rubbed her heart, sat down on the table, and looked at Sanniang's busy figure on the stove, she was very envious:

"Sanniang, I see that you are now in love with your husband and wife, and your life is rich, and you are very happy for you"

Sanniang raised her eyes and smiled gently: "It's not your blessing, if it weren't for you, I would still be bullied under the evil mother-in-law, don't say that life is rich, it is also a luxury to live alone."

Covering the pot, she wiped the grease stains on her hands, and then said: "Okay, don't say these sad words, don't leave today, I'll buy some rice and come back to cook in a while, stay for a few days and then leave, let's talk, I'll tell Niu Qian to inform you in the pocket!" ”

"M? Don't even have rice at home? ”

"Let the neighbors borrow all the money, and I don't know what happened recently, everyone has played with food stamps, only put some rations in the rice tank, and then go to the grain shop to exchange food stamps for food stamps when they are eaten up - in recent months, many people have gone down to the village to collect grain with food stamps, which is cheaper than the market, and the neighbors of Xu Township have sold the surplus grain."

Sanniang talked about the recent situation in the village.

Luo Xi heard it in a fog, and had doubts in her heart: the grain stamps are valuable, and buying the surplus grain in the hands of the villagers at a price lower than the market is not a loss-making business? Unless it is calculated that the price of grain will soar in the next few days, it will be strange to stock up on goods, and there will be a profit from the price difference.

"Sanniang, how is the price of food recently?" Rashi asked.

"I heard that it will cost two, two, three and one stone"

"It's so expensive!" Rassi was surprised.

Sanniang nodded: "In fact, there is also pressure in the workshop, the cost of grain and rice is getting more and more expensive, and the oil and salt are also rising slightly, but everyone is not willing to trouble you, so as long as you don't lose too much, you will continue to do it." ”

"My snack shop is a trivial matter, Sanniang, the price of this grain is not normal, in previous years, it was more than two taels and one stone, right?"

Even if the Huguang grain area has a poor harvest this year, it will rise to 221 to 222 at most, how can it not climb to 223?

Tongzhou is located in the northern section of the canal, the southern Huguang area produces abundant grain, and between March and April every year, there are boats loaded with grain and sent grain to the north through the canal. April and May are the most green and yellow times, grain prices will rise slightly, and when the boats arrive, a large amount of grain will be put into the warehouse, and the price will fall again, which should be the case every year.

"You don't know?" Sanniang then said: "I also listened to the people who fried the grain stamps, last year the middle section of our canal was blocked, the grain ship had a heavy draft, and there was no way to open it. ”

"Taken by sea?"

Sanniang nodded and said: "Yes, and this year's harvest in the south is indeed poor, the Cao boat only set off in June, and it is understandable that the price of grain has risen slightly, and everyone has hoarded food stamps before, and now they can make a lot of money by selling them."

Luo Shi probably understood: "After all, it is troublesome to hoard grain and rice, or food stamps are convenient and easy to sell, buy up or down, and the whole people fry grain stamps, all in order to earn a small amount of money before the grain ship arrives in Tongzhou."

Sanniang took out the ginger soup with a smile, put it on the table, and while urging the radish to drink it while it was hot, she lowered her eyes and said:

"I'm a woman who doesn't understand these speculative things, and I don't blush when I see others making money, and I earn the silver in my pocket steadily, so I feel at ease, I let Niu Qian go to buy rice and go home, the food stamps are just a stack of crumpled paper, there is really a famine, which one can be eaten as food?"

Luo Xi said with peace of mind: "I am still thinking about how to persuade you, you are a person who understands, it is right to think so, and I always think this thing is weird, you should stock up on a little more grain and rice, and tell the workshop guys below to first halve the output of spicy dishes and snacks, so that the use of grain and rice can be controlled in three months."

Sanniang nodded in response, saying that she understood.

While the two were talking, Niu Qian came back with a big bag of rice, and he put down the rice bag with a bang, and let out a long breath:

"Rose? Don't suffer the wind, I saw your embarrassment yesterday, Sanniang was in a hurry, why is it raining, I said that you should move back to live with your pocket, Grandma Li is thinking about her pocket, thinking about going to the city every day, you come here, don't you just save trouble at both ends"

Sanniang stirred a handkerchief to wipe his sweat for him, and snorted: "Luo Shi has to take care of the shop, and it is inconvenient to move back, and besides, Douzi is now learning martial arts with the dart bureau, and Mrs. Li has not been empty several times?" You should persuade her, when she is old, just stay in peace, and her children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren."

Sanniang glanced at the rice bag that Niu Qian came back from his back and asked:

"What's all there is to it? I gave you a lot of money, did you use it for drink? ”

"Don't wronged me, I was about to tell you that the news came from outside from nowhere, saying that the grain ship encountered a typhoon at the sea and temporarily berthed at the Linzhou wharf, and it will not be October in Tongzhou? So the price of food rose overnight, and now it's two, two, four! Everyone went to grab the food stamps, and when they were sold at the end of September, my God, how much money can they make! ”

Luo's eyelids jumped, her hunch didn't seem to be wrong, the price of this grain was going to grow wildly. This thing seems to sound very profitable, buy food stamps at a low price now, and sell them immediately on the eve of the arrival of the grain ship, but one thing must be considered-

The grain ship must arrive at the port, if there is no grain in the south, the bubble of the grain stamps will collapse immediately, and the world will be in chaos at that time!

"Brother Niu Qian, you quickly find some people to buy grain, we don't need food stamps, as long as grain, there are still a few empty rooms in my shop, and I will set them out to make a warehouse to store grain."

"Huh? Isn't it too much trouble? Niu Qianmu asked in a daze.

"Ouch, you listen to Ross, what did she do to you? Listen to her right."

Sanniang patted Niu Gan's back, but didn't let him drink saliva, so she hurriedly sent him out to buy grain.

Ross paced in place, his mind in turmoil—anyone who saw through knew that food stamps were far less valuable than food...... She suddenly remembered that Fang Cai Sanniang had said that someone in the village had recently issued food stamps at a loss to collect surplus grain, who was that person?

"Sanniang, do you know who came to the village to collect grain?"

"It seems to be the Jiang family of Hefu" Sanniang thought for a while, and said with a fist clasp:

"Yes, it's her, when General He went out of the funeral, she said that she wanted to put on a big flowing water feast, so she asked everyone to collect grain, not to pay real money, but to exchange food stamps, at that time there were still people strange, there were so many food stamps, why not just ask the grain shop for exchange? I have to ask the people for it at a loss."

It's this woman again!

What tricks is she going to play again?

To talk about the astringent hoarding of grain is to see through the risk bubble behind the soaring prices. But Jiang began to collect grain at that time, apparently before the price increase, unless she could predict the prophet, otherwise there was only one explanation - she was involved in it, and tried in vain to manipulate the grain market to make a profit.

Luo Shi was subconsciously shocked, but if it involves the Jiang family, there will be nothing good, it seems that this food crisis has something to do with the Jiang family!
