Chapter 45 Stockpiling Grain
When the village chief saw her say this, he was afraid that he would offend Feng Xian in the future, and he didn't get a report in the event of a disaster, so he hurriedly said: "Believe in it, how can you not believe it?" ”
Feng Xi saw the village chief's expression like this, so he nodded and said, "Just believe it." ”
"Girl, you wait."
Seeing that the wind was about to leave, the village chief hurriedly said, "Girl, do you have any plans?" Or is there a good way? ”
Looking at the village chief's expectant look, the wind was speechless, this village chief just wanted to pick up the leak.
Feng said carefully: "What can be done, isn't it just to store grain and water?" ”
The village chief pondered for a moment and said, "Girl, how much do you want to do it?" Did your dad say how long the drought would last? ”
The wind is faint, this village chief ......
"Village chief, you can stay as long as you can, my father didn't say how long it will last, anyway, everyone is ready to live a hard life."
The village chief sighed and said, "Why is it getting harder and harder these days?" ”
Feng said expressionlessly: "No way, in order to survive, you can't lie down and die, right?" ”
The village chief was carefully said by the wind, and immediately cheered up, indeed, no one wants to encounter a disaster, but when it comes to it, there is no other way than to face it strongly.
"Girl, you're right, I'll go and inform the people in the village, but if this news is known by the people in other villages, they will definitely grab the food with us, I'm afraid that our food will not be enough, I think it's better to keep this matter secret."
Facing the village chief's worries, Feng thought about it carefully and said, "Village chief, you're thinking too much, and nothing like this will happen in a short period of time." Not to mention other villages, even our village, asking them to pawn their own things, or take out all their savings to stock grain, I think there are many people who are not happy. ”
"Most people think this news is ridiculous, and people in other villages won't believe it at all, so there's no need to hide it, but there's no need to publicize it, so as not to cause panic, we just silently store food ourselves."
"The time for these people to hesitate is the time left for us to store grain, and when the food shortage is really coming, they will react, and then the grain will be priceless, in short, we are quietly stockpiling grain now, it will not affect anything."
The village chief saw that she was young and spoke and acted very measuredly, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's really terrifying." ”
Feng took a few steps carefully, and then retreated and said: "Village chief, we still have to be quiet about the grain storage, otherwise I am afraid that we will be remembered in the future." ”
An old man like the village chief naturally knew what the wind meant, so he nodded and said, "I know this in my heart." ”
The village chief looked up at the scorching sun, and his heart was complicated, as a village chief, he had the responsibility to protect his villagers.
Here, Feng Xian returned home and decided to tell the whole family the news that he had "dreamed" of a natural disaster and drought.
The family heard Feng Xian talk about his "dream" with a serious expression, and Feng Yili laughed out loud.
Feng Yili smiled and said, "Third sister, are you sure you didn't lie to us?" According to what you said, our father is also a general at the bottom, why is he so free to give you dreams from time to time? Forget about me and my second brother, why don't my father give you a dream and not give your mother a dream, is it in my father's heart, my mother is not as good as you? ”
When Xia Shi heard this, he immediately lightly pinched the wind and said angrily: "Why are you talking?" Your third sister is the most obedient, what's wrong with your father being partial to her? ”
Feng Yili pursed his lips and did not dare to speak again.
It's not pleasing when you say it, you have no status at all, other people's families are patriarchal, but in his family, it's the opposite.
Feng glanced at Feng Yili carefully, and said: "We can't afford to gamble on this matter, if there is a real drought, what will we do then?" If you don't have food and water, you will starve to death. If there is no drought, it will be the best, and when the time comes, we will be able to take out the grain we have stockpiled and sell it for money if we can't eat it all, and we won't lose anything. ”
Xia nodded with a gloomy expression, and said: "Last time, it was your father who gave you a dream, and this time he gave you a dream again, most of it is true, this kind of thing is not a joke, so what will my mother do next?" ”
Although Xia Shi heard that the disaster was coming, she was a little panicked, but looking at the wind's delicate and calm expression, her heart settled down inexplicably.
Feng said carefully: "Mother, we don't know how long this drought will last, so we have to prepare some durable grain and vegetables, grain we first tun some millet, millet is much more durable than rice, the rest is vegetables, Niang can pickle some vegetables, so there is no problem for half a year and a year." ”
Xia nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have to do this, I'll find out all the vegetable jars at home and pickle them." In addition, I will dry some dried vegetables, in this weather, it can be stored in three or five days at most, as long as it is stored properly, it will not be a problem to put it for three or five years. ”
Feng Yili hadn't taken this drought to heart just now, but after being reminded by Xia, he remembered the cold last time.
Last time, it wasn't for Yan Lang's idea, but I was afraid that people in the village would really freeze to death.
This will listen to the wind carefully arrange things so seriously, he said with some apprehension: "Third sister, you said that this drought will not really happen, right?" ”
Oh my God, he's only had a few days of carefree life, and he still wants to go on.
If there is a drought, needless to say, hard times are coming again.
Feng Yili leaned back on the chair a little dejected, only to listen to the wind carefully but arranged for him to say: "Big brother, the drought and the food shortage, in addition to the need for food, we also need to store water, and the matter of water will be handed over to you and Yan Lang." ”
After a pause, he said: "In addition to the water we stored in the cave last time, you can find a few more reliable places to store more water, you quickly clean up the cellar, I think the cellar can also store a lot of water." ”
The wind is deflated and discouraged, but in the end, it is young, but for a moment, it is a dragon and a tiger again.
"Third sister, don't worry, I will definitely store more water, and when the time comes, it will not affect our small life if he suffers from drought or not."
The wind is too lazy to expose his blind optimism.
She looked at Yan Lang, but saw Yan Lang looking at her thoughtfully, and knew that Yan Lang was not as easy to fool as others.
Of course, he won't take the initiative to say it if he doesn't ask.
"Yan Lang, is there any problem?" Feng asked carefully.
Yan Lang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem." ”
That's good.
After the family finished discussing, they acted separately, this matter was related to the lives of the family, and they did not dare to be careless.
After carefully arranging the family, he was ready to go to the town to find Feng Ertian, this girl had dealt with some businessmen in the town for so long, so there should be no problem for him to find a way to buy food.
After going out, the wind saw that the village chief was persuading people to store food and water.
However, the people in the village asked the village chief where he had learned about the news, and the village chief did not say for a long time that it was sent by Feng Xi.
Seeing that the village chief couldn't say why, everyone didn't take the village chief's words to heart.
Stockpiling grain, stockpiling grain, where is it so simple?
There are a large number of people in the village who are sometimes green and yellow all year round, where is the spare money to go to what grain?
Even if you want to store grain, you can only sell your own houses and land in the end, these things are the foundation of the people in the village, where are they willing to take it out easily?
The village chief couldn't, so he had to change his words: "I was told to me by a master I met, do you know how to pull a master outside the world?" Everyone is a person who is about to attain the Dao Ascending Immortal, and he has not left his own name, how do I know so much? No, you guys are asking so loudly one by one, what are you doing? Let you tun your tun, you will be tun, rambling, is there an end? I ask you, when have I hurt you? ”
Seeing that the villagers said this, the people who had been skeptical about this matter before instantly relaxed, and the prestige of the village chief in the village was very high.
Over the years, the village chief has indeed been thinking about everyone, and listening to the village chief's words, they have not suffered any losses.
Someone said on the spot that he would store water and grain, and the village chief couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at everyone's reactions, sure enough, the girl was right.
I persuaded it myself, and some people didn't believe it.
It is conceivable that if those people in the next village would not believe it, they would only regard what he said as crazy words.
Thinking that this place near and far might be ruined in the future, the village chief's eyebrows were tightly screwed together.
He was just a small village chief, and even if he knew something in advance, he couldn't do anything about it.
Feng Xian came to the town and found Feng Ertian's small shop, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that Feng Ertian was seriously tapping on the abacus.
Because the capital at that time was not much, so after renting a storefront, Feng Ertian could only rely on the goods channel given to him by a businessman he knew, and all he got were some daily necessities.
For example, the bowls, plates, jars, cups and the like that people use, in short, are no different from the small grocery supermarkets of the era of the windy and thin era.
"Second brother, business seems to be pretty good."
Feng carefully looked at the smile on the corner of Feng Ertian's mouth when he was fiddling with the abacus, and she knew that her second brother must have made money this month.
Feng Ertian looked up, and when he saw that it was a thin wind, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you here?" ”
The wind was fine and not verbose, and went straight to the point: "Second brother, can you find a way to buy a batch of grain?" ”
Hearing this, Feng Ertian said without thinking about it: "Among the people I know in the past few years, there are all kinds of people who sell anything, it depends on how much money you have." ”
Listening to his tone, Feng smiled softly and said, "Buy two hundred taels of silver." ”
"What?"
The abacus in Feng Ertian's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and he said in disbelief: "Third sister, what are you going to do?" Are you going to open a granary shop? Oh, let me tell you, the grain business is not very easy now, the price cannot go up, and the people who buy the grain still dislike the high price, this business is thankless. ”
Feng shook his head carefully and said, "Second brother, I don't do business, I'm not interested in business, I buy it to eat." ”
As soon as he heard this, Feng Ertian was directly happy, "Third sister, are you kidding me?" Do you know how many catties of grain there are for two hundred taels of silver? ”
