Chapter 110: Little Ninety-Nine for Two People

Gu Feng pondered that Su Jiu'er embroidered two embroideries during this time, and the last one sold for hundreds of taels of silver, this time Su Jiu'er's embroidery was even better than the last one, and he was afraid that as soon as the two handkerchiefs were shot, they would almost be able to earn thousands of taels of silver.

For the first time, Gu Feng had a feeling that he was very rich, but he never thought that Su Jiu'er would use so much silver to buy food.

There is nothing wrong with buying grain, but these thousands of taels are used to buy grain, and the grain will become stale grain after a year.......

Gu Feng sighed, old grain is not as good as new grain, many people are reluctant to buy old grain, and people in the countryside basically eat their own grain, and they don't need to buy grain at all.

"Wine." Gu Feng's face became more and more serious, he remembered that when he was with Su Jiu'er before, Su Jiu'er also proposed to him to buy more grain, "What do we do when we buy old grain, just buy new grain." ”

Su Jiu'er thought about it, glanced around, saw that there was no one around, leaned into Gu Feng's ear, and said in a low voice, "Xianggong, according to the old man, the harvest in the field may not be good next year, let's stock up on grain this year, and sell it directly next year, even if we hoard new grain this year, it will become old grain next year." ”

Gu Feng nodded approvingly, glanced at Su Jiu'er, and asked in a low voice, "Then let's buy less, in case the harvest is good next year, we won't lose too much." ”

"Xianggong," Su Jiu'er knew that Gu Feng had chosen to believe her in his heart, so he stuck to Gu Feng's body with a smile on his face, and whispered, "Didn't you tell me a few days ago that the war on the frontier was tight?" ”

Gu Feng was a little dizzy by what Su Jiu'er said, his brows frowned unconsciously, and a bright light flashed in front of him, and he turned his head to look at Su Jiu'er on the side in surprise, "You mean .......?"

"Xianggong, you thought of it?" Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with joy, she didn't expect her father-in-law to be so smart.

"Taxes may be heavier?" Every year they have to pay all kinds of taxes to the imperial court, and when there is no war on the frontier, the taxes are the same as usual, and if the frontier fights, the imperial court will increase the taxes of the people.

"yes." The pear vortex on Su Jiu'er's cheeks loomed, and he explained softly, "Although this year's harvest is good, if you pay taxes, there is no problem with the remaining grain to support this winter, but if you want to survive until next year's autumn harvest, it is unlikely." ”

It was still a beautiful voice like mountain spring water, but when Gu Feng heard it, it was a little harsh, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't know why he was uncomfortable.

"Xianggong, this year's old grain must be cheap, and when it comes to next year, many families will not be able to buy grain even if they have silver in their hands, so we are not greedy, and sell it to them cheaply, do you think it is good?" Su Jiu'er thought so in her heart, anyway, she wanted to coax Gu Feng to buy grain, and when it was time to sell the grain, the price of the grain was not cheap if they said it was cheap.

Gu Feng frowned slightly, and looked at Su Jiu'er seriously, "You thought about it from the beginning?" ”

When Su Jiu'er first married him, she had already begun to plan this matter before the summer?

As long as he thought of this, Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er with a clump in his throat, he thought that he was marrying a wife who relied on him wholeheartedly, but now it seems that she is not what he thinks.

Being a little uncomfortable stared at by Gu Feng's scrutinizing gaze, Su Jiu'er looked away like an evasive looker and pursed her lips slightly.

The autumn wind blew, and the ground was golden, mixed with the sound of singing and laughter, warming the whole field.

Su Jiu'er's hands and feet were cold, and all the excitement around her had nothing to do with her, and she quietly looked at the man in front of her.

Their family's accounts, Su Jiu'er had never hidden from Gu Feng, if it wasn't for Gu Feng taking her to Fucheng, she wouldn't have had a way to implement her own methods so quickly, because she didn't have enough silver.

The nose was sour, Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, pretending to be very innocent and looking at Gu Feng, her voice was a little hoarse, "Xianggong, this matter of hoarding grain was planned by me a long time ago. ”

Gu Feng's originally wrinkled brows immediately froze in place, and he looked at Su Jiu'er in surprise, as if he had seen Su Jiu'er for the first time.

His face was already resolute, and he stared at Su Jiu'er carefully at this time, like a cold winter wax moon.

"I'm very panicked," Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly, "When Daddy was seriously ill, the family was poor, and if there was no bride price money for my family, Daddy might have left us because there was no cure." ”

"I'm afraid, afraid that one day, our family can't afford medicine because of the urgent shortage of silver." Su Jiu'er's voice was glutinous, like a child who had been wronged, "I am a woman, and I want to save more money, so that I don't have to worry about not having money to see a doctor." ”

Gu Feng's expression gradually returned to normal, remembering what Doctor Ji had said, and thinking that Father Su needed to take medicine often to recuperate his body, he breathed a sigh of relief, "When the time comes, we will sell food cheaper." ”

Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng in front of her with a smile and nodded vigorously, "Okay." ”

"I'm busy, you go to the tree to cool off." After Gu Feng said, he got up and walked to the side, picked up the sickle and continued to cut the wheat.

Gu Feng had other calculations in his heart.

At first, I knew that Su Jiu'er wanted to make difficult money, and I felt a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, they had grain, and it was better to sell it to the people cheaply than those landlords to sell it to the people at a higher price.

Following Su Jiu'er to live such a simple life in Zhaojia Village, Gu Feng almost forgot that Su's father was poisoned, but he didn't know who the poisoner was.

Without knowing his opponent yet, Gu Feng suddenly felt that there seemed to be a pair of cold eyes staring at him tightly behind him, as if they were going to crush him to ashes.

Standing up straight, Gu Feng looked back and saw Su Jiu'er sitting under the tree and bowing his head to embroider.

As if sensing his gaze, Su Jiu'er slowly raised her eyes.

The moment the four eyes met, Gu Feng looked at the bright smile on Su Jiu'er's face, and his heart instantly softened and turned into a puddle of water.

Gu Feng thought that if he died in the future, it would definitely be because of Su Jiu'er's death.

After three days of busy harvesting, Gu Feng helped Su's father tie pairs of grain into bundles and pull them directly to the threshing floor with the old wheelbarrow of the Su family.

There are only two stone mills in the village, and the village chief has arranged it early, and each family will take turns to come, and whoever arrives at the threshing floor first will get it first.

This time, because of Gu Feng's help, the Su family was the first to go to the threshing floor.

At that moment, Su's father Zhao was not too tired, and he was busy grinding wheat.

The stone mill is made of a large stone, which needs to be pulled by a donkey, and if a person pushes it, it will be half exhausted.

But even if there was a donkey grinding, Su's father also stepped forward to help push the stone and grind, after all, this donkey is very expensive, if he is tired, he will have to compensate.

Gu Feng, who was originally fighting on the sidelines, watched Father Su push and grind, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, followed Su Jiu'er and said, and stepped forward to take Father Su's place.

Gu Feng was born with great strength, and he didn't know the weight of this stone mill before, and he heard that this stone mill was very heavy, but when he pulled it up, he felt that this stone mill was not as heavy as he thought.

Gu Feng was pushing the stone mill while controlling the donkey, and he had a feeling that the donkey seemed to be lazy.

But fortunately, Father Su was pulling the donkey in front, which reduced Gu Feng's burden.

There were more and more people on the threshing floor, looking at Gu Feng pushing the stone grinder as if it was effortless at all, and one couldn't help but praise Gu Feng with nonsense.

Ning Yue'er stood in the crowd, looking at the man whose clothes were wet behind the hard work, and the hand holding the straw rope couldn't help but clench.

Su Jiu'er wore a straw hat, looked at Gu Feng drenched in sweat, walked forward quickly with some worry, and hurriedly handed the kettle to Gu Feng.

Gu Feng raised his sleeve and was about to wipe the sweat off his forehead, Su Jiu'er raised his hand and held a towel to help Gu Feng wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Gu Feng lowered his head slightly, looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile in his eyebrows, and he didn't feel so tired when he saw her.

Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a smile, seeing that his face was not sweating so much, and then said, "Drink more water." ”

Gu Feng took the kettle from Su Jiu'er's hand, raised his shoulders slightly, stretched his body, and opened his mouth to drink water.

A pot of water was drunk by Gu Feng, and he handed the kettle to Su Jiu'er, "It's good if it's not hot." ”

Gu Feng wasn't tired, but the heat was uncomfortable.

Su Jiu'er knew that Gu Feng was relieving his heart, even if Gu Feng was born with great strength, he was still very tired from pushing the stone grinder for a long time, and said in a low voice, "It's been so long, you just have to rest, just let the donkey pull." ”

"That's too slow." Gu Feng turned his head to look at Father Su's hard push of the stone mill, and hurriedly said, "You go over there to rest, I'll go over to look for you when I'm done." ”

Su Jiu'er wanted to say something, but Zhao came over, and he was very reluctant to go, "Gu Feng, let's rest, don't get tired." ”

"I'm not tired, I'll help." Gu Feng left a sentence and hurriedly walked towards the stone mill.

Zhao pulled Su Jiu'er to the side, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Our family was able to harvest the grain so quickly this year, all because of Gu Feng. ”

When Su Jiu'er heard Zhao say this, she smiled and lowered her eyes, thinking in her heart, if she has the opportunity next year, she will get more land, and then invite someone to farm the land, so that she will no longer have to work in the field.

"Sister Jiu'er."

A gentle female voice sounded from the side, and when Su Jiu'er heard the voice, she looked at Ning Yue'er standing aside with a sweaty face.

"Have you collected all your land?" Su Jiu'er asked with a smile, now everyone is opening and closing their mouths about harvesting crops.

"It's just that the wheat has been harvested, and the rice hasn't started to be harvested yet!" Ning Yue'er smiled flatteringly and said softly, "Brother-in-law is really capable, such a heavy stone grinder, he is not too tired after pushing it for so long." ”

"How can you not be tired?" Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng distressedly, but she also knew in her heart that if Gu Feng was lazy and didn't work today, the people in the village would definitely make irresponsible remarks.

He is now working hard to push stones and grind stones, so that the people in the village have a good impression of him.

A trace of resentment flashed in Ning Yue'er's eyes, and when she faced Su Jiu'er's gentle eyes, she became the innocent Ning Yue'er again.
