Hoarding food? Zhao was surprised.

The first time she heard about hoarding grain, let's not talk about the countrymen, let's talk about the rich people, which family will sell the old grain cheaply if the new grain comes down, who will hoard grain?

Not many people are willing to eat stale grain in the first place, and who will spend money to buy stale grain.

"Wine, listen to me, it's not okay to hoard old grain." Zhao's brows were tightened, his face was serious, and he disagreed with Su Jiu'er's approach very much, "If you hoard grain, that money will be like a meat bun beating a dog, and it will never be returned." ”

Gu Feng had been sorting out his things on the side, and when he heard Zhao say this, he stopped what he was doing and slowly walked towards Su Jiu'er.

Gu Feng felt that what Zhao said was very reasonable.

Not to mention the side, there is a rice shop in the town, there are not many people who go there to buy rice, and most of their families sell new grain, and there is very little old grain.

Gu Feng also wanted to persuade Su Jiu'er, but looking at Su Jiu'er's serious appearance, he thought about it and changed his words and said, "Mother-in-law, I have other uses for hoarding grain with Jiu'er, so you can help us collect the old grain." ”

When Zhao heard these two people say this, he sighed helplessly, he really couldn't persuade him.

She wanted to show her majesty, she could force Su Jiu'er to be obedient, but she couldn't force Gu Feng to listen to her, Gu Feng was just a son-in-law.

After thinking about it, Zhao pondered that Gu Feng and they couldn't finish their food, and when the time came, she was helping them sell their food, and they would lose less money if they wanted to.

"That's it, I'll ask you then." Zhao shook his head helplessly, the young man is just fearless, and he wants to play one out at a time.

"Mother, we only need last year's old grain." Su Jiu'er saw that Zhao was relieved and agreed to help, so he hurriedly added.

Zhao looked at Su Jiu'er with a little headache, and he didn't know what his daughter was thinking about, "How much do you plan to collect, how much is a stone?" ”

"Xianggong, how much is the old grain in the rice shop?" Su Jiu'er turned her head and looked at Gu Feng seriously and asked.

"Nine dollars a pound." Gu Feng remembered that the last time he went to the rice shop, it seemed to be at this price.

"Mother, we will receive ten cents a pound, as long as last year's old grain." Su Jiu'er looked at Zhao with a smile, "We will collect as much as we want." ”

Zhao's brows furrowed slightly, he looked at Su Jiu'er with a little headache, nodded helplessly, said something to Su Jiu'er and left.

After sending the Zhao family away, Su Jiu'er followed Gu Feng and continued to be busy with the work in his hands.

On the way back, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er exchanged a silver ticket of one thousand taels for a silver ticket of five hundred taels and some broken silver.

Su Jiu'er pondered that every family had more than a dozen acres of land, and even if they were trying to save money, there would not be much old grain.

Early the next morning, Gu Feng drove the donkey cart to the town, and he pondered to buy all the old grain in the rice shop in the town.

When Gu Feng returned home, he saw a long, long queue at the door of the house, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly got off the donkey cart and bypassed those people into the house.

The news that the Zhao family was going to collect the old grain from Su Jiu'er made the entire Zhaojia Village boil.

People in the countryside will live, even if they have food on weekdays, they are reluctant to eat more, and they all save.

At the end of the year, people who can live can leave a stone or two of grain.

What made the people in the village happy was that Su Jiu'er and they actually collected grain for ten yuan a catty, and it was estimated that no one in the entire Shacheng would spend such a high price to collect old grain.

This year, the wind and rain are good, and every household does not have to worry about not having enough to eat, and it is a great thing to exchange old grain for silver.

Gu Feng carried the bags of grain on the donkey cart to the west wing, and finished moving it after a few trips back and forth.

With Su's father Zhao helping Su Jiu'er weigh the grain, Su Jiu'er didn't forget the account, and the people who got the money from Su Jiu'er left one by one with a smile on their faces.

Gu Feng saw that it was not early, so he came over to help.

The four of them worked together, and the efficiency of collecting grain was much faster, and the busy work was soon over.

"Mother, you can eat here, wait for me to fry a few dishes." Su Jiu'er couldn't help but pull Su's father and Zhao to sit down, and gave Gu Feng a look.

Gu Feng went into the kitchen with firewood to burn the fire, and the fire in the stove had just risen, and Zhao and Su Jiu'er came in from outside.

The Zhao clan still looked at Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er with some concern, and said hesitantly, "This time I collected almost three hundred stones from the village, so much is enough." ”

"Not enough." Su Jiu'er frowned, and turned her head to look at Gu Feng behind her, "Xianggong, how much did you collect from the rice shop?" ”

"Fifty stones." Gu Feng hugged the originally marinated rabbit meat jar in front of Su Jiu'er, "There is still some meat here." ”

At noon, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, Zhao took steamed buns from Su's house, and the five of them sat in the courtyard to eat.

Zhao and Su's father sat together to eat, and the elbow under the table lightly bumped Su's father's arm.

Father Su looked at Zhao suspiciously, and when he saw Zhao frowning at him, he sighed helplessly.

"Gu Feng, what are you doing with so much grain?" Su's father helped collect the grain, and looked at the silver that Su Jiu'er gave to the village for those white flowers and flowers, and felt distressed.

Gu Feng ate the vegetables, and thought in his heart that fortunately, Father Su and the Zhao family didn't know that Su Jiu'er wanted to spend two thousand taels of silver to collect food.

"Mother, you can't just say this." Su Jiu'er smiled and said, "You'll know later." ”

Zhao sighed and didn't speak again.

There were several villages near Zhaojia Village, and as soon as everyone heard that someone was collecting old grain, they came to the door one by one with old grain, and all of them added up to 600 stone of grain.

The west wing of their house is not small, and they can barely put down so much grain.

"Do you still accept it?" Gu Feng glanced at Su Jiu'er and asked seriously.

Su Jiu'er walked to Gu Feng's side with satisfaction, reached out to hold Gu Feng's arm, and rested his head slightly on Gu Feng's shoulder, "If there is, we will accept it, forget it if it doesn't." ”

Removing the odds, there are still 1,800 taels of silver at home, Gu Feng looked at the room full of grain, and shook his head helplessly, even if the people's annual harvest is good, there will not be too much silver in their hands, in addition to paying taxes and eating with themselves, there will be a little food left all year round.

Su Jiu'er turned her head and looked at Gu Feng with a smile, her eyes were bright, "Xianggong, have you thought about what to do in the future?" ”

Gu Feng was stunned by Su Jiu'er's words.

He used to think that as long as he hunted and earned some silver, he would be fine, but the others didn't think about it, "No." ”

"Xianggong, every time you go up the mountain, I'm very worried about you, otherwise, you do something else, the family has the capital." Su Jiu'er spoke softly, pulled Gu Feng to the stone table in the courtyard, poured Gu Feng a glass of water, and looked at Gu Feng with a smile, "Do you think this is good?" ”

Gu Feng once thought about buying land and renting it to others to cultivate, but he really didn't think about anything else.

"Let me think about it." Gu Feng really didn't know what he was doing properly, and lowered his eyes slightly.

Before getting married, Gu Feng once wanted to join the army, but since he was with Su Jiu'er, the idea of joining the army had long been dispelled.

Gu Feng now finds that being a rich man is very tired, and he has to think about how to spend money, no wonder many people spend a lot of money for the women of Qinglou.

Su Jiu'er knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, so she just looked at Gu Feng with a smile and let him think slowly, anyway, they had enough time.

The reason why Su Jiu'er asked Gu Feng to do business was that she felt that a woman should be behind a man, and Gu Feng should be the one who supported the whole family; Second, Su Jiu'er has more things to do.

Before Gu Feng could figure out what to do in the future, the villagers had already finished their farm work, and he began to take the village up the mountain to hunt rabbits again.

Before the autumn harvest, the rabbits on the periphery of the mountain could not be beaten, and when everyone entered the mountain, they saw that there were many rabbits on the periphery, and they were all stunned.

Gu Feng was not so surprised, the rabbit grass in the mountains was not enough to eat, so he would naturally run to the periphery.

Su Jiu'er still goes to Su's house every day, and her life is stable.

At the end of October, Gu Feng didn't take anyone up the mountain, and the rabbits in the mountain were all hidden, so it was not easy to catch.

"Xianggong."

After breakfast, Su Jiu'er didn't clean up the dishes and chopsticks as usual, sat on the side with a smile, and looked at Su Jiu'er intently.

Gu Feng chuckled in his heart, wondering if Su Jiu'er was going to ask him what business he wanted to do in the future.

During this time, Gu Feng thought about it again and again, and he didn't know what to do.

"It's cold, let's go to the street to buy some new cotton, just make you a few cotton clothes, and then make a pair for your father, okay?"

"Well, we'll go in a minute." Gu Feng nodded in agreement.

In previous years, Gu Feng didn't wear much cotton clothes, he simply sewed animal skins into clothes and wore them inside the clothes, which was quite warm.

"Nacheng, I'll go wash the dishes now, you wait for me for a while." Su Jiu'er happily got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks and walked towards the water tank.

Call.

Gu Feng propped his chin and thought about what business he should do in the future.

He had never touched it, for fear that the silver would be wasted by him.

There was a donkey cart at home, so Gu Feng was reluctant to let Su Jiu'er walk to the town again.

This time they came to town, and the two of them were mainly going to buy some cotton to make new clothes.

In the past, when Su Jiu'er came out to buy things, she was always worried that she didn't have enough money on hand, but this time she didn't need to worry about this.

There are many people who have the same idea as Su Jiu'er, the cloth village is full of people, and Su Jiu'er has no way to go in and see the cotton.

"Xianggong, let's come back later." Su Jiu'er really didn't want to be crowded with so many people, so she spoke softly.

"That's it." Gu Feng looked at a shop not far away that sold carbon, and remembered that Su Jiu'er was afraid of the cold, so he took Su Jiu'er's hand and walked towards the shop that sold carbon, "Let's buy some carbon, and then you won't have to be afraid of the cold this winter." ”

The two of them were talking and walking, Gu Feng keenly felt that someone was watching them, and when he looked at those lines, he saw two men standing in the corner of the wall, staring at them.

Su Jiu'er's scalp was a little numb when she was stared at by the two men, and she involuntarily moved to Gu Feng's side.

"It's fine." Gu Feng leaned into Su Jiu'er's ear and comforted in a low voice.

The two people looked a little strange, Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, the clothes worn by the two people didn't seem to fit, the clothes seemed to be a little smaller, and there was a scimitar hanging from his waist.

Machete!

Su Jiu'er was so frightened that she was in a cold sweat and looked around in a panic.

It's not a gathering today, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be many people in the town, but now there are a lot of gloomy and unfamiliar faces.
