Chapter 4 Food, clothing, and weapons are to be stored
Looking at the apple that suddenly appeared in Jiang Zhiyue's hand, everyone in the Jiang family was shocked!
Who is he? Where is he? What just happened?
There are no apples in this season, and even the apples bought in the town in the past are small and green.
They turned their gaze to Jiang Zhiyue's face again, the difference was that their eyes were now full of shock.
The room suddenly fell silent, and even the youngest Goro and Rokuro sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and stopped making a sound.
In just a short period of time, several thoughts in the hearts of everyone in the Jiang family passed, but Jiang Zhiyue did not see greed in their eyes, and her heart felt a little more comfortable.
When Zhang came back to his senses, he quickly glanced at the door, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the door was closed.
"This is also the old grandfather in your dream......" Zhang opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to describe the scene.
However, Jiang Zhiyue understood what they wanted to know, and replied with a simple and joyful expression: "Well, he said that there will be all kinds of things in this treasure chest, but I haven't used it yet... Hey. ”
"You stupid, don't you have this ability, aren't you red-eyed, and laugh." Mrs. Jiang patted Jiang Zhiyue's arm, and suddenly felt that her granddaughter was heartless and didn't know how to be afraid.
Mrs. Jiang's worry was not unreasonable, and she mentioned that others also thought of it, and changed from shock to worry.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked around and warned: "This is our family's secret, if anyone dares to say that our old Jiang family will be without him." ”
After speaking, she said to Jiang Zhiyue again: "You too, be careful in front of outsiders, don't let people see it." ”
Jiang Zhiyue was moved in her heart and felt that she didn't believe in the wrong person.
It's right to praise a lot, Jiang Zhiyue said with a smile: "I believe you won't harm me." ”
In the previous life, she was an orphan, and she was reused by the superior because of her ability, but she never dared to expose the ability of space, and now she has no choice, but fortunately, she is very happy that it is these people from the Jiang family.
Moved to moved, Jiang Zhiyue grinned and responded, otherwise she would have seen her's slap again.
The other people in the room also responded with a serious face, saying that this matter would definitely rot in their stomachs and would not be said.
After warning them, Mrs. Jiang asked again with a curious face: "It's really tender and magical, you can have everything you want?" Is there any food and silver? ”
Jiang Zhiyue thought to herself, you really guessed correctly, there is countless food without silver, but of course she can't say that.
"No, I'm not sure what will happen." Jiang Zhiyue explained, and then, as if remembering something, picked up a silver ingot on the table, and then the silver disappeared from her hand.
"Good granddaughter, where is our silver! Gone? Mrs. Jiang asked distressedly.
"Yes, it can fit into that little treasure chest." After Jiang Zhiyue finished speaking, she turned the silver out again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhiyue revealed these things for her convenience in the future, as long as the Jiang family did not suspect that she would even have the Jiang family to cover for her, it would be a lot more convenient.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liulang looked at the apple Jiang Zhiyue was holding in one hand and drooled: "Sister, I want to eat." ”
Jiang Zhiyue handed the apple to Shiro and asked him to wash it and divide it into four petals, and the four of them ate it separately.
Shiro took the apple and ran out to wash it, but he came back with a small bowl, and the apple was cut into twelve small pieces, so that everyone could taste it.
Jiang Zhiyue touched his head and praised him, several children of the Jiang family did teach him very well.
Everyone tasted it, the entrance was crisp, the juice was full, and the sweet and sour taste exploded in the mouth, so delicious that it bubbled with happiness.
Jiang Zhiyue reached out and touched the head of Liulang, who was licking his fingers, and said, "When my sister has something delicious, will I give it to Liulang." ”
"Okay." Liulang arched Jiang Zhiyue's hand and replied happily.
Jiang Zhiyue returned to the topic just now, and this time everyone paid a lot of attention to it.
It is precisely because of the importance that their hearts are a little heavy, and there is really going to be a catastrophe, so what should they do.
Old Man Jiang knocked on the cigarette ash bag, sighed and said: "I'd rather believe it than not, but we have to discuss this matter again, the old brain is active, and we will talk about it when he comes back in the evening." ”
It's just that when Jiang Yuchao came back in the evening, after hearing the news he said, everyone became even more convinced of what Jiang Zhiyue said.
"The emperor is not in good health, and now he has not yet set up a prince, I heard that several princes in the fief have gone to the capital, I thought... It's all about fighting for this position. Jiang Yuchao's tone was a little heavy.
"Okay, that's what happened." Old Lady Jiang said with a frown.
Jiang Yuchao teaches in the town school, and he has some connections, which is what he heard today.
Jiang Zhiyue was not surprised to hear this news, this also corresponds to the content of the book, the emperor is old and unwilling to give way, and wants to live forever and start refining the elixir, he has many sons, and the disputes between several princes are fierce, and it is really necessary to see blood.
When Jiang Yuchao came back, Zhang said the unbelievable things that happened to Jiang Zhiyue.
Jiang Yuchao pondered for a moment and asked, "The girl in her dream... If the old man tells you what happened to us, we can avoid one or two. ”
"Great drought, ground movement, locust plague......" Jiang Zhiyue replied: "Although I don't know where the disaster will happen, but our situation is not very good, and we can't stay until there is an accident." ”
"Can you analyze the current situation, and what do you think we should do" Jiang Yuchao sat on the bench and looked at Jiang Zhiyue, his tone was serious, like a strict teacher who tortured students.
Jiang Zhiyue looked at Jiang Yuchao's eyes, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Dad, what you said is turmoil in the court, and the warning to me is all kinds of natural disasters, it is the people at the bottom, if everything is false, we can naturally be safe, but even if my dream is a little bit true, if we don't prepare anything, it will be a very unfavorable situation for us." ”
"It is precisely because of the turmoil in the court, even if there is any disaster below, the princes in the court check and balance each other, and it will be impossible for them to rescue us in time, so we can only save ourselves."
"Since we got such an early warning in advance, we have to make good use of it, we not only have to store food, but also buy weapons, and the big guy also has to follow me to exercise, after all, we have to have the ability to protect ourselves if anything happens."
After Jiang Zhiyue finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yuchao with a smile: "Dad, just do what I say, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Yuchao smiled, this girl, talking and talking, actually went around them to arrange things directly.
It's a pity, if he were a man, with such intelligence and courage, he would have achieved a great thing.
"Then we'll listen to my girl for the rest of the day, let's take a gamble." Jiang Yuchao's voice was a little louder, as if he was cheering.
Old Man Jiang lowered his eyes: "Maybe God really wants to give our Jiang family a way to live." ”
Mrs. Jiang also bowed in the direction of the outside with her palms to the palms: "Our girl is really a blessed one, when the old family gave birth to her, there were magpies on the eaves to report the good news." ”
"What do you think you should do next, you do it, we all believe in you." Jiang Yuchao said to Jiang Zhiyue.
Everyone else has no opinions, in the Jiang family, Jiang Yuchao's words are the most important one except for Old Man Jiang and Old Lady Jiang.
Jiang Zhiyue feels that the biggest advantage of the Jiang family is that they are united.
After gaining the trust of everyone in the Jiang family, Jiang Zhiyue began to arrange tasks for them according to the plan in her heart.
Sooner rather than later, she decided to start preparing early tomorrow morning.
Jiang Yuchao, Da Lang and Erlang still go to the town to go to school normally, Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai were arranged by Jiang Zhiyue to go to a few more places to inquire about the price of grain and buy grain, and the rest of the people dug the cellar at home first, and there was a place to put the grain after it was bought.
Jiang Zhiyue planned to go to the town to buy some fabrics or ready-to-wear clothes, and prepare some clothes in advance.
In addition, Jiang Zhiyue also planned to teach them some self-defense skills, and she also thought of an excuse, so she said that the old grandfather in her dream taught her self-defense.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Jiang family was busy according to the tasks assigned to them.
Because Jiang Zhiyue got up late, he couldn't catch up with Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai to go to the town together.
It was already noon when the two returned again.
"Brown rice is going to cost fifteen cents a pound? Isn't it usually 12 wen a catty? Sun asked in surprise.
"Not only that, but even the prices of yellow rice, millet and flour have risen, although a pound has only risen by a few cents, but if we want to store grain, we will have to spend a lot more, we can't make up our minds and come back to ask." Jiang Yuqing replied with a sad face.
Jiang Zhiyue, who had just returned from the mountain, happened to hear what Jiang Yuqing said.
When the people in the courtyard saw Jiang Zhiyue coming back, they subconsciously looked at her.
Jiang Zhiyue thought of what Jiang Yuqing said, and said after pondering: "This should be just the beginning, the sudden increase in the price of the grain store shows that the people behind him have gotten some news, so we must step up the stockpiling of grain, maybe the price will continue to rise." ”
When Jiang Yuqing heard it, he felt that it made sense, otherwise it would be even more of a loss to wait until the price rose to buy again.
Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai immediately planned to go to the town to settle down the grain, fearing that the price of grain would increase again if they went a little later.
Jiang Zhiyue also decided to go to town with her, but the three of them still had lunch at home.
……
In the town of Gu, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, and because of the hot weather, there were fewer people walking on the streets.
"Eucalyptus girl, let's go to the grain store on West Street to buy it first, I saw today, his food looks fresher." Jiang Yulai said.
Jiang Zhiyue gave him a thumbs up when she heard his words, originally asking them to inquire about a few more grain stores just to find more cost-effective grain to buy.
Unexpectedly, the two of them not only inquired about the price, but also figured out the quality, Jiang Zhiyue admired in her heart.
However, he still shook his head and said, "Let's go to the horse market to buy an ox cart first." ”
Because Jiang Zhiyue has a small treasure chest that can be taken and placed, except for some copper plates, all the silver is now on her.
Mrs. Jiang said that she was not afraid of losing it, otherwise she would not be at ease if she had so much money hidden at home.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't refuse, but she planned to keep accounts every day, otherwise even the closest people would not be able to stop the suspicion in her heart.
At noon, there were very few people in the horse market, and the men inside were leaning on the doorrail and napping.
"Hey, man, hey." Jiang Yulai stepped forward to call someone, and when he saw that there was no movement, he pushed two handfuls.
The guy was suddenly awakened, and before he opened his eyes, he hurriedly apologized: "I'm not lazy from the shopkeeper, I'm not lazy." ”
"Come to our senses, we're going to buy livestock." Jiang Zhiyue stood behind Jiang Yulai and reminded.
The cold voice came into the ears of the guy, and he finally came back to his senses, it turned out that he was not the shopkeeper, which scared him a lot.
The guy smiled awkwardly and asked, "A few guest officers, do you buy cows or mules?" ”
There were horses, oxen, and mules sold in the horse market, but most of the people who came to buy the carriages were from the rich families of the town, and the three people in front of them were wearing patched clothes, and they were obviously not among the people who could buy horses, so the guy asked them that.
And Jiang Zhiyue didn't think about buying a horse, the price of a horse is much more expensive than a cow, and it's too conspicuous, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Jiang Yulai turned his head to look at Jiang Zhiyue and asked her opinion.
"Let's buy cows, man, let's take us to see them."
"Okay, come with me, guest officer." The guy took Jiang Zhiyue and the three of them to the backyard, where there were a lot of livestock grazing.
It's not familiar with picking this Jiang Zhiyue, this has to let Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai get on.
Jiang Yuqing touched this one and looked at it, and after a while, he chose a cow that looked extraordinarily energetic.
Jiang Zhiyue also asked him to pick out the ox cart and asked the guy to help put it on, and finally gave seventeen taels of silver in the bargaining between Jiang Yulai and the buddy.
Jiang Yuqing is good at driving the ox cart, Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yulai sat down on the edge of the ox cart and let Jiang Yuqing drive the ox cart to the grain store.
The grain store Jiang Yulai said is not far from here, and a cup of tea will be there.
Jiang Yuqing was watching the ox cart outside, and Jiang Zhiyue went in with Jiang Yulai to buy grain.
Jiang Yulai had already inquired about the price, and the two of them went in and started buying and buying directly.
Brown rice, millet, rice, and flour each cost two hundred catties, and Jiang Zhiyue saw that one sack here could hold almost a hundred catties of grain, and they asked for eight bags.
The guys in the shop helped carry the grain to the bullock cart outside.
After buying food, Jiang Zhiyue and the others went to the ready-to-wear shop again.
There are ready-to-wear clothes and fabrics in the shop, ready-to-wear clothes are relatively expensive, Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulai originally planned to buy fabrics and let the family rush to make clothes after they go back, Jiang Zhiyue thought that they wasted time making clothes, not to mention, it was particularly hurtful to the eyes, so they directly bought two ready-to-wear clothes each.
In addition, I bought five pieces of cloth and some soft fabrics, and planned to give them to Xiao Wang after I went back, so that she could make small clothes for the baby in her belly.
Jiang Yulai was moved again when he saw that Jiang Zhiyue actually thought of his unborn child.
Jiang Yulai said babblingly: "Moon girl, the third uncle will definitely treat you as a daughter in the future!" ”
Jiang Zhiyue pushed his handsome face away, looked at Jiang Yulai and smiled sadly: "What the third uncle means is that it was fake to hurt me before." ”
"How is it possible, the third uncle's love for you is visible from the sun and the moon, you can't misunderstand me, girl, otherwise your milk will break off a layer of skin for me when you go back." Jiang Yulai hurriedly explained.
The two of them talked and laughed and put their clothes on the ox cart, the grain was placed in the middle and back of the ox cart, and the clothes and cloth were placed in front, Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Yulai sat comfortably on it.
After a bit of shopping, it was getting dark, and the town's eldest and second lang had already passed the school day, and the shops in the town were closed.
Jiang Yuqing drove the ox cart and swayed in the direction of Jiangjia Village.
