Chapter 190: Solving His Urgent Need
Fortunately, the weather is cold, and no one has been passing by, otherwise Taoxi would have to work hard to hide.
Suddenly, there was a whistling sound from Jian Shiming not far away, she hurriedly cheered up, first quietly stretched out her head, and found that it was Jian Shiming who took Gu Yan and them, so she lowered her guard.
"Sister-in-law."
Gu Yan got off the sled, and since Gu took the sleigh back, he ordered someone to do a few according to the sled.
The two of them were followed by more than two dozen young soldiers, who were brought out by Gu Yan to protect the grain.
"Xianggong, Master Gu."
Tao Xi greeted him with a smile on his face, "Quick, let's bake the fire first, otherwise your fingers will be frozen." ”
"Okay."
Gu Yan nodded, followed Jian Shiming to the broken temple, and when he saw the food piled up in the broken temple, he was almost shocked and became a fool.
"It's... This... Did your friends get it? ”
Gu Yan almost bit his tongue, this is not a little bit of food, it is a few thousand catties by eyesight.
Although it was certainly not enough for the huge Yun County, it had relieved him of a lot of pressure.
"yes."
Tao Xi proudly raised her little chin, especially when she caught a glimpse of the little soldiers behind Gu Yan, all of them with round eyes and wide open mouths, she felt interesting.
Jian Shiming coughed lightly at the right time, "Master Gu, my lady has done her best, if you don't think it's enough, we can't do anything." ”
He deliberately made a distressed appearance, which made Tao Xi cry and laugh, and his belly was still black and Jian Shiming's belly was black.
Sure enough, Gu Yan had an expression that you thought too much, his face was full of smiles, and his voice was a few degrees louder, "Enough is enough, and if there is less food, there will be less distribution."
It's not easy to get food on this cold day, just don't be frozen to death and starve to death. ”
In addition, he has already found a way to transfer from the side area, in short, this batch of materials has solved his urgent need.
"That's enough, my friend said it was all he had left."
Tao Xi took out some roasted sweet potatoes from the fire as he spoke, and handed them to everyone one by one.
"Come, eat a sweet potato to warm your stomach first."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Gu Yan was full of gratitude, his ink eyes were sincere, no matter how she got this thing, he was extremely grateful to the two of them.
The young soldiers excitedly took the sweet potatoes handed over by Tao Xi and devoured them one by one.
"Delicious, delicious!"
"This sweet potato is so sweet, how nice it would be if you could eat it every day."
"Don't think about eating every day, just starve to death."
“……”
Listening to the words of the young soldiers, Tao Xi couldn't help but feel sad, this is really a grinding era.
But there is only so much she can do, and it is already unbelievable to take out a few thousand catties of food, and Tao Xi doesn't want to take a bigger risk.
After everyone ate the sweet potatoes, they suddenly felt that their bodies were warm, and the young soldiers who drove the carriage to pull the grain also came one by one.
Tao Xi hurriedly distributed some roasted sweet potatoes to them, and only after eating them did she say to Gu Yan:
"Master Gu, my friend is a very good person, and she can't bear to see the people starving, so when I found her, she agreed to help us get food without hesitation.
Of course, it was also because we were lucky that the batch of grain that my friend was going to sell had just arrived, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast.
But she told me that there were twenty stone sweet potatoes and twenty stone potatoes, and this sweet potato and ten stone potatoes were sold to you, but the ten stones of this potato were donated by her to the people.
As for the dried vegetables of the four stones, they are also sold to you, can you accept them? ”
Twenty stones are equal to two thousand four hundred catties, Tao Xi calculated it clearly, but Gu Yan did not agree.
"No, no, no, your friend is a businessman, she is benevolent and righteous, but we can't take advantage, so we must count all the silver."
A few days ago, the county ordered to buy grain from rich merchants, but not only did they not donate, but those people also raised prices.
In such a comparison, Tao Xi's good friend is really a good person with great love, and as that person's friend, Tao Xi is also a good person.
"Master Gu, this is what my friend explained, I can't call the shots."
Tao Xi's face was embarrassed, "She is also for the people, so Master Gu, you can accept it."
As for the price of these grains, according to the market price, it is five cents a catty. ”
"Oh my God!"
A young soldier couldn't hold back his exclamation, and was patted on the head by Gu Yi, and then he stood up in a sneer.
Gu Yan was moved in his heart, but he still sternly refused, "Sister-in-law, I know that you are thinking about the people, but these few hundred taels of silver may be a huge amount for ordinary people.
But for those rich businessmen, it's just a drop in the bucket, and this time we'll find a way to get those people to shed some blood, instead of a benevolent businessman like your friend paying for it. ”
"Someone else is someone else, and I... My friend is my friend, Master Gu, don't say more, let's settle it quickly, otherwise it will be inconvenient every day. ”
Tao Xi insisted very much, she was already the only favor given by God when she got the space, and that little material was just a matter of a few nights of labor for her.
So she didn't feel distressed about donating it.
Jian Shiming also followed, "Brother Gu, my mother can't be the master, I think it's better to do what she says."
If you really don't want to go, let's talk about it next time we work together. ”
He looked at the little woman in front of him softly, Gu Yan didn't know, but he knew that these grains were hers.
Although I don't know how she got it, at this moment, Tao Xi's image in Jian Shiming's heart is infinitely higher.
Of course, she didn't know it herself, because Gu Yan had no choice but to compromise and asked the young soldiers to weigh the sacks stacked in the broken temple one by one and load them into the carriage.
In the end, Tao Xi was given two silver tickets of one hundred taels, and Gu Yan only felt very embarrassed when he gave them.
"Sister-in-law, the remaining dozen taels are considered to be the remuneration for you and Brother Jian, and I hope you don't dislike it."
"Thank you!"
Tao Xi was very satisfied, these two hundred taels were nothing to Gu Yan, but the people in the entire Taomu Village except for their family were afraid that they didn't add up to fifty taels.
This time she was mainly there to do good.
"Brother Jian, then let's go first, you pay attention to safety."
Gu Yan urged the young soldiers to hurry back and strive to distribute relief food to the nearest villages today.
When everyone left, Tao Xi looked at the silver ticket in his hand and laughed at himself: "Actually, the 1,000 catties of grain donated are still in these two hundred taels of silver." ”
"In any case, you did the good deeds."
Jian Shiming's words brought back Tao Xi's distant thoughts, and he looked serious, "Lady, don't think nonsense."
These grains are life-saving food for our Yun County, maybe this can save the lives of thousands of people, so you are doing a good deed. ”
"I know."
Tao Xi put away the silver ticket and said beautifully; "Anyway, I'm a little rich woman now, let's go back."
She put out the fire, didn't bother to think about it that much, as long as she could solve the current crisis anyway.
