217 material shortage (recommended, plus more)
The main thing is that they are worried about their families and are in a hurry to go back to see the situation.
Qin Xiaoyao arranged for Wang Xiaomei and Song Yun to go to the kitchen to make cakes.
and asked Song Que and Liu to preside over the sale of water.
I was going to go to the grass hut to see the situation.
In the yard, there are still many locusts on the grass shed.
When you get closer, you can even hear them gnawing on straw.
Qin Xiaoyao didn't have the heart to clean up, so he opened the door and entered the shed.
Fortunately, her grass hut was well covered, and few locusts came in.
After briefly cleaning up the scene and making sure that his bean sprouts were okay, Qin Xiaoyao retreated again.
Then I checked the other straw huts in turn.
After making sure that all the bean sprouts were not damaged, Qin Xiaoyao was relieved.
In the next few days, she doesn't need to send bean sprouts.
Just take care of the vegetables that have been planted and sell them smoothly.
Out of the grass shed, Qin Xiaoyao was going to get some water and water the bean sprouts.
Suddenly, I found that Sister-in-law Qin was here.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Daddy, are they okay? Leaving the work in his hand, Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"It's all right." Sister-in-law Qin took Qin Xiaoyao's hand.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao had a wound on his forehead, he asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”
Qin Xiaoyao smiled, "It's okay, I was a little injured." ”
"This plague of locusts is not over yet. Maybe there will be another locust. ”
"Don't come here for the next few days."
"Hmm." Sister-in-law Qin responded.
"That's what I came to tell you."
"I'll leave with that. Your eldest brother has already helped me pack my things and sent Xiaohu to Liu's house by the way. ”
"Until the locust plague is over, I will stay at Liu's house."
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
"Hmmm! This is well arranged! ”
"Then you take good care of yourself and Xiaohu. When the locust plague is over, I will go back to Qin's house to see Xiaohu. Qin Xiaoyao said immediately.
"Good!" Sister-in-law Qin should go down.
"Besides, Daddy asked me to bring you a message. Don't go out for a few days. ”
"The locust plague is making trouble, and the door will definitely not be opened on the side of the Blessing Building, so don't let you run."
"Also, about selling grain, my father asked you not to worry for the time being."
"Dad said that this locust plague will cause a famine in Lingquan Town. Food prices have to go up a lot. ”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded as he listened.
"Good. I know it all. Answered.
Sister-in-law Qin instructed Qin Xiaoyao again before leaving in a hurry.
Qin Xiaoyao watched Sister-in-law Qin leave, and sighed in place.
Then, go about your own business.
Not long after, many people suddenly came to the courtyard of the Song family.
It's still a family coming, almost all carrying buckets.
Some also carry bamboo baskets or carry baskets on their backs.
Those who carry buckets are here to buy water.
Those who carried bamboo baskets and baskets on their backs naturally came to buy bean sprouts.
Since the Song family now sells unlimited water and bean sprouts, every household has bought a lot of people who come.
Soon, the Song family's well bottomed out.
At the same time, all the bean sprouts sold were also sold out.
Qin Xiaoyao came forward and informed him that today's bean sprouts had been sold out.
But for the next four days, a large number of bean sprouts continued to be sold every day.
All follow the first-come, first-served rule, purchase large quantities, and there are discounts.
As for the sale of water, Qin Xiaoyao also encouraged everyone not to come over to buy water, after all, the water output from the spring in the well is limited, and if you take too much water, the speed of water production will not be able to keep up.
Knowing this, the long queue dispersed a lot.
Only a few people in front of the queue are willing to wait any longer.
Wait until there is water in the well, and then go and fetch it.
Everyone's feelings, the Song family actually understands.
After all, the plague of locusts scared everyone.
And everyone is not sure when the next locust will make trouble.
While the locusts are not coming, it is better to stock up on water and food at home.
But it's nothing, anyway, the Song family is not ready to go out these days.
There was time to guard the well and the shed.
The other side.
Liu Daniu and Liu Erniu listened to Uncle Liu's words, took money from Aunt Liu, pushed the cart and hurried to the grain store.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the outside of the grain store was already crowded with people, and all of them were just like them, ready to buy grain.
The shop guy beckoned people outside the store to line up.
At the same time, it was informed that brown rice and rough noodles will be available in limited quantities today, and only 2,000 catties each will be sold to the public.
It will also be counted according to the number of people queuing up to buy food, and only five catties per person will be sold for a single queue.
And the price was adjusted to 18 wen a catty.
As soon as the news came out, the people complained.
But only a few people left, and a large number of people all stayed behind, forming a long line.
"Big brother, what are we going to do?" Liu Erniu, together with Liu Daniu, also joined the queue. But Liu Erniu was anxious, and he was about to cry at the moment.
My mother gave them all the money left in the house, and my father asked them to use it all to buy food.
But now, he and his eldest brother combined, standing in line once, is enough to buy ten catties.
Ten catties of food, what can you do?
Liu Daniu's face was also solemn.
After thinking about it, he looked at his second brother.
"You can go back with the cart now and tell your father the news here. Then call Daddy and call them, all come and line up! He said.
Just now, the guy also made a special note that he would not let the agent queue.
In this way, you can only come according to the actual number of people in line.
There are a total of 4,000 catties of brown rice noodles, and each person only sells five catties, so it takes 800 people.
Now let Erniu go home and call someone, maybe he can still be in line.
At the moment, this is the only way to buy more food for the family.
Liu Erniu flashed a trace of hesitation on his face, looked at the long line behind him, and didn't want to leave.
If he had gone, the queue would have been gone.
In case the family comes over later and fails to make it, won't the five catties of food that I could have bought be gone?
"What are you doing?! Just go! Seeing this, Liu Daniu urged directly.
At the same time, he touched some copper plates from the money bag and gave all the rest of the money to Liu Erniu.
Liu Erniu's face turned pale.
"Good!" Finally answered.
Immediately, he took the money bag and ran away with the cart.
Yes, with the run.
When he got home, Liu Erniu hurriedly told him about the situation.
Aunt Liu was still a little hesitant when she heard that the price of grain had risen to 18 Wen.
It was Uncle Liu who yelled at her directly, and hurriedly asked everyone to go with him, so she came back to her senses and hurriedly chased after her.
When I returned to the grain store, the queue outside the grain store could almost be described as a sea of people.
Aunt Liu dared to say anything at this time, but she just followed her family and went to the end of the line.
As soon as a few people lined up, a number of people came and lined up behind them.
Seeing this situation, the Liu family all had serious faces, and they were all worried.
"Boss, this-when you come to us, shouldn't you stop selling grain?" Aunt Liu pulled Uncle Liu's sleeve and asked worriedly.
