Chapter 286: A Harvest in Guanzhou
The land in Guanzhou is planted once a year.
Most of the grain on the Daji was harvested last year, including rice, sorghum, and soybeans......
Freshly harvested wheat also appeared sporadically.
Although the imperial court has long begun to promote corn planting, the acceptance of Guanzhou is not very good.
Because corn is affected by the weather, in the colder Guanzhou, the yield is far less than that in the southern provinces.
But this year is an exception, this year Qishan and other large prefectures are in drought, and the heat is unbearable, but for Guanzhou, it is a rare good climate.
Surface temperatures are higher than usual, and all crops are experiencing unprecedented growth.
The old farmers who have accumulated years have long judged that this year is the year of Wangdi.
When spring sowing, it is as much ground as it can be planted.
Although it is not yet the official opening of the sickle, it can be seen from the earliest wheat harvest that it will be harvested this year.
Li Xuemei's mother bought food all the way and listened to the conversation on the big set all the way.
Almost everyone was talking about this year's harvest, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of an imminent harvest.
Yan Yu said happily: "Mother, this year's bumper harvest, then we can harvest grain nearby, even if it is not too much, and then buy it back from somewhere else." ”
"Hmmm! Tell your father to turn around and run around the villages more, let the wind out, and when they pay the grain after the autumn harvest, they will come to us if they want to sell the rest. Li Xuemei was also happy to hear it.
"You don't have to run more, hehe, when will the uncle go to the countryside to collect taxes, just let my father go with me."
Yan Yu squeezed her eyebrows, which made Li Xuemei laugh.
"Is this stained with your uncle's light? I'm not afraid of gossip. Li Xuemei said angrily.
Yan Yu shouted that he was wronged, turned his head and dragged the eldest sister's arm and shook it: "Sister eldest girl, do you think we can get this bareness?" We give a lot of money, it must be more than the grain store to collect grain, and we will not force us to buy and sell, so we will follow to say hello, whether you want to sell or not, how much to sell, are your own ideas, who can say our gossip, we will take care of where we go. ”
The eldest girl nodded affirmatively: "What Xiao Er said is reasonable, auntie, we want to buy grain, if they want to sell, we will give a good price, it is better than selling to those grain merchants, they have a black heart, and they have to put down a lot of pressure when they go back, and our family has also suffered losses in previous years!" ”
Li Xuemei shut up, when it came to previous years, they lacked confidence, had no memory, and had no right to speak.
But it can be judged from the words of the eldest girl that history is always strikingly similar, whether it is in or out of the book, there are always profiteers who squeeze the hard-earned money of the common people.
The lady bought a lot along the way, and also met a lot of villagers in the same village.
It's all an idea, buy as much as you can.
The people of Xiao'an Village swept through the big market and prospered the economy of the entire market.
They use copper plates or broken silver, and their purchasing power is amazing.
Many people in the village regretted that they didn't bring more because they had sold what they had brought.
The copper plate in the pocket is bumping, the mood is very good, and I am not willing to spend money on weekdays, and I always have to buy some homely things once a month, and then taste something fresh by the way.
There are more and more people at the food stalls in Xiao'an Village.
Waiting for Li Xuemei and the three of them to return to the village to set up a stall with a full harvest.
It was discovered that Yan Laoer's slate-grilled fish had reached the point where the supply exceeded demand.
The braised fish tofu comes out of the pot slowly, and it is also snatched away as soon as it is cooked.
Li Xuemei and the eldest girl went to put things together, and Yan Yu stood beside Liang Fengnian, who was collecting accounts.
They didn't have to do the braised egg business.
Tofu is monopolized, the eggs are marinated into the stomach, although the team to find quail eggs has some gains, but they can't stand the quail eggs are too small, one bite at a time, and they are sold out in a few moments.
The lady who sold tofu sent two more plates of tofu.
Seeing Yan Yu's eyes lit up.
"It's called Yan Xiaoer, but I'm waiting for you, your father said that you should collect these two plates of tofu, and you have to pull them back and divide them, and the board will be collected when I send tofu to your house on the morning of the fifteenth, you help me remind me to put it away."
"My dad ordered tofu? How much did you order? Yan Yu was not surprised at all, on the fifteenth day, the village was going to hold a flowing water banquet, this tofu was a good thing, it could make too many delicacies, how could her father let it go.
"Three plates of tofu, two buckets of tofu brain, two buckets of pulp, and dried tofu...... Hey young, it deserves to be a talented showman, it is a big deal! The tofu lady smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
Except for Daji, her family has never sold so much tofu.
And the syrup, except for drinking it at home, no one really buys it.
These two barrels of pulp are purely earned for nothing, how can they not make people happy.
"We will hold a big banquet in the fifteenth day of our village." Yan Yu explained, making people misunderstand that the Yan family in Xiao'an Village is so good.
"I know, I heard what Cui Niangzi from your village said, my mother-in-law's family and Master Lu are from the same village, and if you want to eat tofu in the future, just come to my house."
The tofu lady is also one of Cui Niangzi's new acquaintances.
"I heard Cui Niangzi say that you are the second in your family, your father is the one who sells grilled fish, and your mother is the one who sells steamed buns, so the one next to you just now...... Isn't it Yan Xiucai's eldest daughter? ”
The tofu lady cleared up the relationship, and her eyes lit up.
Looking at the big girl's gaze, it is as burning as a light bulb.
Yan Yu subconsciously blocked her gaze.
"Auntie, did my father settle the money?"
"How can you not give money, the lady who can't speak will tie it up." Her eyes couldn't help but roll on the eldest girl, and asked her in a low voice: "Little Er, you talk to your aunt, is your eldest sister Xu Ren?" ”
Yan Yu is not leaking: "The eldest sister's family affairs are the uncle's checks, I don't know." ”
The tofu lady showed a little unwillingness, and muttered: "Tell me what's wrong, if it's not decided, maybe I can introduce you to your big sister." ”
Yan Yu casually found an excuse to send this tofu lady.
Cui Niangzi came in a hurry.
"Xiao Er, what did the tofu seller tell you? Are you asking about the big girl? You tell my aunt that the look in my eyes is wrong when I just look at her. ”
Yan Yu can distinguish between inside and outside, and even said: "Don't aunt, ask me if my eldest sister Xu Ren has it, I said I don't know, my uncle has the final say." ”
Cui Niangzi praised: "That's right! Let's just say that these old ladies are thinking about other people's relatives every day, and they really want to be able to introduce a lot of surprisingly bubbling ones, but what are they talking about, they are all nephews and nephews of their mother-in-law's family. ”
Cui Niangzi said angrily: "Phew! Why do you think so much, our eyes are on them! It's all a tiring life of digging in the soil, we can't find that kind of girl, no matter how bad it is, it has to be a landlord, there are long-term workers at home, so you are not tired, and you can live comfortably. ”
Yan Yu: ......
Aunt, you can mention this request with my eldest Berthie, see if he hits?!
