"Hmm. It's two pennies more expensive than the one they bought in the grain store just now. Qin Xiaoyao said again.

Wang Xiaomei was shocked again.

Has the grain in the grain store risen to 18 wen a catty?

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Wang Xiaomei, and roughly guessed Wang Xiaomei's mind in his heart.

"The price of the grain store has just risen, and there is a high probability that it will have to rise next."

"If you also want to buy grain, I can sell it to you at the price of twenty wen a pound today."

Wang Xiaomei's eyes moved.

"I-can only take out five taels, oh no, five taels or four cents of silver." Soon said.

Five taels or four dollars of silver, this is almost all the belongings in her hands.

Although she asked her sister-in-law before, she got the answer that there was a high probability that the price of food would rise, but she did not bet all her savings.

After all, my sister-in-law also said that she would sell grain.

But now, the situation is quite clear.

She will not seize this opportunity again. In the future, the money in hand and the food that can be exchanged will be less and less.

A smile flashed in Qin Xiaoyao's eyes.

"Not bad."

This little girl really did it, and she saved so much money quietly.

However, it's true that this girl is diligent.

I go out in the morning and evening, and in the afternoon, I weave straw sandals whenever I have time.

Her money is not easy to come by.

A look of surprise flashed on Wang Xiaomei's face.

"But are you sure you buy it all?" Naturally, it was for her eldest brother and father.

Just subsidize her eldest brother, after all, Wang Dashan really feels sorry for this girl. But the king of the old bolt——

Okay, that's Xiaomei's father after all.

That's it, she still doesn't interfere too much in this person's private affairs.

Besides, it's a good thing to let this girl empty her purse.

saved her too much money and gave birth to the idea of redeeming herself and leaving.

Such a diligent girl, she is reluctant to let go.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Wang Xiaomei's eyes.

After a moment, he nodded firmly.

"Hmm."

The corners of Qin Xiaoyao's mouth raised.

"Done! Five taels or four coins of silver, which is exactly two hundred and seventy catties of grain. ”

"Give me the money, and you can go to the utility room to get the goods."

"By the way, this price is half of brown rice and rough noodles."

"In other words, brown rice and rough noodles are both sixty-five catties."

Wang Xiaomei nodded.

"Good!"

"However, can you pick up the goods later?"

Seeing Qin Xiaoyao looking at herself, Wang Xiaomei hurriedly said, "I'll give the money later." ”

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

"Yes. But within half a month, the goods have to be taken away. ”

Half a month later, she will go to the grain store to process the grain.

When the time comes, it is better to count how much food is left in the utility room.

A hint of hesitation flashed on Wang Xiaomei's face.

"Okay." In the end, I agreed.

After saying that, he went back to his room to get the money.

It didn't take long for Qin Xiaoyao to get the money.

Today, just by selling grain, he harvested nearly thirty taels of silver, and Qin Xiaoyao was in a very good mood.

The next morning.

Unsurprisingly, the locusts struck again.

It's just that the scale and duration are not as big and long as yesterday.

Not long after the locusts subsided, many people came to the courtyard of the Song family.

There are people who come to buy water and bean sprouts.

Buying water, naturally, is because water is necessary for life.

When you buy bean sprouts, you take a fancy to the cheapness of bean sprouts.

You must know that the price of grain in grain stores has skyrocketed, and bean sprouts are also made of grain.

The bean sprouts of the Song family are only sold for three dollars and two catties now, which is a big bargain!

Save a pound of money to buy brown rice noodles, how many bean sprouts can you buy?!

Qin Xiaoyao naturally knew this truth.

It's just that in this situation, she can't go to Ruyi Building to deliver goods, or go to the market to sell bean sprouts.

There are too many of these bean sprouts that have been sent in advance, and we can only think about small profits and quick turnover.

However, she also explained the situation to her neighbors.

Due to the rise in food prices, when the locust plague is over, her family's bean sprouts will also rise with the price of food.

After all, according to her, the beans she used next would have to be bought in the grain store, and the cost was not low.

Everyone understands this.

And I am very grateful to Qin Xiaoyao for selling their bean sprouts at a low price at this time.

In this way, the Song family brushed another wave of goodwill in Yongan Lane.

There are also a lot of people who come to Song's house to buy bean sprouts.

Even, after learning that Qin Xiaoyao is not restricted, and the person who buys vegetables must be from Yongan Lane.

Someone else introduced someone they knew to come over, and the Song family bought bean sprouts.

So, Qin Xiaoyao, who was originally worried that his bean sprouts would not be sold, found that it was not yet night, and today's bean sprouts were sold out.

Evening.

Xiashui Village, Wang's house.

The father and son of the Wang family, who came back from picking up the water, were sitting on the eaves with a depressed face.

When the locust plague came, the father and son did not dare to enter the mountain again.

In the morning, the house resisted a burst of flying locusts.

After the locusts stopped, the two cleaned up the yard again. The locusts are then dried and turned into dry food.

There is still a total of less than twenty catties of brown rice noodles left in the house.

And these brown rice noodles were given by Wang Xiaomei before.

Considering that there was not much food, since the locust plague started, the father and son did not dare to touch the food again, but the locusts that ate it.

But the locusts are dried, and they have not been oiled, and the taste is really not good.

The amount added is not much, and the stomachs of the two of them are very empty.

"I don't know where your sister is, what's going on?" Suddenly, Wang Laozhuan spoke.

As soon as the words came out, Wang Dashan looked at Wang Laozhuan fiercely.

caused Wang Lao to dodge and avoid his gaze.

Knowing that his son had misunderstood, Wang Laoxuan explained: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried about my little sister." ”

It's really worried.

After all, when the locusts make trouble, people have to stand outside, and they may suffer a big loss.

Of course, I also want to go to my girlfriend for some help.

Not to mention anything else, the food at home ......

Wang Dashan glanced at his father and didn't speak again.

Honestly, his father has changed a lot these days.

Especially in the treatment of his mother, his father is completely different from before.

Can be ...... to the little sister

It's just that the change of people can be achieved overnight.

Perhaps, he should give his father more time.

"When the locust plague is over, let's continue to collect firewood."

"When the time comes, send firewood to the town, and I'll go to see my little sister." So Wang Dashan said.

He was also a little worried about his little sister, but he believed in his heart that his sister would be fine in the Song family.

There is more greenery in the countryside, and locusts prefer to come.

In the town, the locust plague may not be so severe.

Wang Laozhuan glanced at his son.

"Hmm." sighed, and didn't say anything more.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

After two consecutive days without locust outbreaks, the locust plague in Lingquan Town finally came to an end.

The streets of the town began to become lively again, and order slowly returned to the town.

In Xiashui Village, the father and son of the Wang family also went into the mountains again to collect firewood.

Early the next morning, Wang Dashan pushed a cart full of firewood into the city.
