Didn't you say that brown rice noodles only sold for 4,000 catties in total? With so many people, where can they be divided?

Uncle Liu pulled back his sleeve and glared at Aunt Liu angrily.

"Shut your crow's mouth!"

"If there is food or not, wait and so on!" Opening.

Aunt Liu was taken aback, felt the anger on her husband's body, and didn't dare to say more.

She is in charge of the family's money, and she was really confused before when she bought food.

Can......

There were some grievances in her heart, but Aunt Liu could only endure it.

The team moved slowly forward.

I don't know how long it took, but it was finally the turn of the Liu family.

It's also good luck.

When a few people entered, there was still brown rice and brown noodles left.

The rough noodles are just about to bottom out, only forty catties, and there are still about 300 catties of brown rice left.

"There are five of us here, and we can weigh twenty-five catties of rough noodles!" Uncle Liu opened his mouth directly.

"It's money." As he spoke, he handed over the copper coins he had prepared in advance.

The guy received the money and glanced at the five people.

didn't think much about it, and directly let people be weighed.

When the twenty-five catties of rough noodles arrived, Uncle Liu felt a little calmer.

Let Liu Erniu carry the rough noodles on his back and take the family home.

Along the way, Aunt Liu looked at the rough noodles on her second son's back, and wanted to speak several times, but she couldn't help it.

Thirty-five catties of rough noodles cost four hundred and fifty wen.

It's not like you're going to line up and you're sure to be able to buy it.

How can I live this day......

Finally got home.

After entering the door, the whole family followed Uncle Liu to the hall.

After everyone sat down, Uncle Liu was just about to speak when he heard movement outside.

It turned out that Liu Daniu also came back.

With food on his shoulders, it looks like he should be more than five pounds.

Liu Daniu soon found that the family was in the hall, so he carried the grain to the hall.

The food was bought by the family and put it in one place.

After that, he said: "After buying food, I lined up again and bought an extra five catties." ”

The crowd understood.

Looking at the food on the table, they all sighed a little.

Eighteen wen a pound! Such a small amount of food actually cost the family more than five dollars of silver.

Suddenly, Uncle Liu slapped his thigh and sighed heavily.

"Next, the price of food will rise. Our family's surplus food won't last long. ”

"No matter how expensive it is, if you can buy it, you have to buy it!"

As he spoke, Uncle Liu looked at his two sons.

"Since the grain store has opened this today, there is a high probability that it will have to be done next."

"The locust plague is in trouble, and you two will not go out to work or find a job these days. Keep an eye on the nearby grain stores. ”

"As soon as I found out that there was a grain store selling grain, I would come back and inform my family. Let's go to the queue as a family, how much we can buy, how much we can count. ”

Everyone's faces were solemn.

No one answered, and no one retorted.

Aunt Liu was a little eager to speak and stopped, but it can be seen that the old man of her family has a serious face, but he still didn't speak.

"In addition, next, except for the old family's, the rest of the people's rations will be halved."

"On a hot day, it's not impossible to get some thin food!" Uncle Liu said again.

The old family's pregnant body can't be without her.

For the rest, save when you need to save.

Otherwise, the days to come will be long.

If the family really runs out of food, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Everyone's hearts were shocked, but they just glanced at Uncle Liu, but still no one refuted.

If you reduce your rations, you will reduce your rations. Anyway, in the summer, everyone's appetite is not good.

Li Daniu also glanced at her father-in-law, and wanted to say something, but she didn't speak.

Forget it, it's a big deal that when she arrives, she will give some food to her own man.

The big cow went to work on the docks, but he did heavy work, and he had to eat at least seven points to be full.

Uncle Liu said something more, and after that, everyone dispersed.

Aunt Liu called Liu Xiaomei to the kitchen, ready to make the locusts she caught and eat.

Li Daniu followed her man back to the room.

"I'll go to Sister Sanya's house to fetch water later, and I'll go with you."

"When I encounter such a thing, I don't know what the situation is on the Song family's side. I'll have to see. Chong Liu Da Niu said.

Liu Daniu nodded.

"I'm going to have to take a look. In addition, in the next few days, you and Xiaomei will not be out of the stall, so you have to go and talk to Sister Sanya about it. ”

"Hmm." Li Daniu responded.

There was a moment of silence.

Suddenly, he said, "Besides, the matter of food—" A hint of hesitation flashed on his face, and then, he still opened his mouth.

"Why don't we talk to Sister Sanya and buy some?"

The reason why she said this was because she knew that Sister Sanya had sold a batch of grain to her mother's family.

Moreover, Sister Sanya also revealed to her that she was going to sell another batch of grain in the near future.

Of course, it is said that it will wait for the price to be higher before selling.

At the time, she was still a little unconvinced that food prices would continue to rise.

In other words, even if you believe that food prices will continue to rise, you do not believe that they will rise too much.

But it's only been a few days, and this happened.

Now even if someone tells her that the price of brown rice noodles will rise to more than 20 wen a catty, she will believe it.

Liu Daniu was stunned.

His face was a little solemn, and he didn't reply.

Sister Sanya's food hoarding, he and his mother-in-law both knew.

Moreover, it was because of Sister Sanya's previous reminder that her mother-in-law hoarded a lot of food for the family.

It's a pity that she was stopped by her mother later, and the family hasn't continued to buy food for a while, so she is so anxious now.

But at present, food is expensive, and there is a high probability that food prices will rise.

They opened this mouth with Sister Sanya, and Sister Sanya should agree.

But in this way, they took advantage of the Song family too much.

Li Daniu saw the look of her man.

sighed.

Then he got up and went and fetched the money box he had saved up.

After counting the money in the box again, he looked at Liu Daniu.

"Dad asked you and Erniu to stare at the grain store."

"It's been a few days. But then, when the locust plague is over, you have to go to work. ”

"There are also two cows, and they have to find new jobs. Where can I squat every day, waiting for the grain store to open? ”

"I've got about eighteen taels of silver here. You can take out eight taels. ”

"Then, you go and ask Xiaomei and Erniu again. See how much they can make up. ”

"And my father's mother's side, there are also some. Strive to get together twenty or two. ”

Looking at Liu Daniu, Li Daniu said again: "After I get the money, I'll go talk to Sister Sanya." Let's see if you can buy 1,000 catties of brown rice noodles at a price of 20 wen a catty. ”

Liu Daniu was stunned.

Then I figured it out again.

Today's price of brown rice noodles in the grain store, although it is 18 wen a catty, may mean that it will be 20 wen tomorrow.

They bought grain from the Song family in such a large quantity, if the price was not higher, it would indeed hurt their feelings.

"Also, I'm afraid the situation on my father's side is not good. If we can buy food, let's give two taels of silver, and then ask Sister Sanya to buy some food and send it to my father's mother. Li Daniu said again.
