Chapter 312: Taxes have gone up

In addition, he also made five dishes and one soup, namely salted shrimp, dried lentils, scrambled eggs with loofah, cold yellow beef, salted crispy peanuts and crucian carp tofu soup.

After Zhen Youqian saw the dishes that came up, he was greedy and embarrassed.

"The three of us are eating, how can we make such a sumptuous dish?"

The things he sent didn't feel as valuable as this meal!

Beye smiled and said, "The village chief hasn't been here for a long time, so naturally I want to treat him well." ”

Since the accident at home, Zhen Youqian is still the first person to come to visit the family, and the village chief has this intention, so he naturally can't let him down.

Zhen Youqian regretted it a little.

I knew that they valued themselves so much, and I should have given them more valuable things, and the next time I came over, I must make up for this negligence.

Although he is the head of the village, he is not able to eat meat every day, only during the New Year's holidays, or something good happens at home, or he is really hungry, so he is willing to spend money to buy meat, but they not only made braised meat to entertain him, but also bought such expensive beef.

Beef with wine, don't mention the taste.

But one pound of beef can buy two pounds of beef, which is really not cost-effective, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy beef to entertain guests.

Not to mention, whether it is grain or meat, the price has risen now, although he didn't buy beef, but if he thinks that the price of pork has risen, the price of beef will definitely rise.

I don't know what the price is now.

The meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the hosts.

After the meal, Gu Rao made milk tea again, and she and Bie Ye drank iced milk tea, and after asking Zhen Youqian about it, she made him hot milk tea.

The three of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.

Zhen Youqian drank the long-lost milk tea, and said with emotion, "You don't do the food business now, and I won't be able to buy milk tea if I want to drink it in the future." ”

Gu Rao said with a smile, "When the village chief wants to drink, I'll make it for you when you come to the house." ”

Zhen Youqian said, "How embarrassing is this?" ”

Although he said that he was embarrassed, he was very happy in his heart.

Gu Rao said a few polite words to him.

Zhen Youqian saw that Gu Rao and Beiye were drinking ice, and he didn't know what he thought, so he persuaded, "The woman is already cold, so it's better to drink less ice." ”

"It's just a matter of drinking some ice in the summer, it's only April now, and the weather is not so hot, so you should drink less ice."

Gu Rao nodded.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Zhen Youqian saw that she could listen to her, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Don't blame me for talking too much, I'm also for your good, I hope you have a good life, if you don't like to listen to me, I won't say it."

Gu Rao smiled.

"I know."

Zhen Youqian said, "Yu was ignorant when he was young, and he also loved to eat cold things, which led to two years of nothing, and after seeing the doctor, I knew the reason, and since then, she has eaten less cold things, and since the body has been conditioned, the children have come one after another." ”

He had a smile on his face when he said this.

There is no man who doesn't like his children.

If it weren't for the fact that he and his wife are old and can't have any more children, he would like to have a few more children, and the more children the better.

Gu Rao, "......"

She seemed to hear the hint that Zhen was rich.

Beiye is not stupid, and naturally he can hear what Zhen is rich, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then said, "I'm afraid that I don't want children for the time being." ”

"The village chief also knows the current situation at home, and when the family conditions are better, I will think about the children."

Zhen Youqian persuaded him, "No matter how poor the family is, it won't be able to afford to raise a child, some families can't afford to eat, and the children are not born one after another?" ”

"You're just thinking too much!"

"Now you are still young, you are not in a hurry, and when you are old in the future, when you reach my age, you will regret that you did not give birth earlier."

Don't be wild, "......"

Everyone has their own ambitions, and he really doesn't care if he has children or not!

Not to mention......

He glanced at his wife.

Gu Rao, "......"

She saw what Bei Ye meant, and couldn't help glaring at him, did she not want to? It's Beno himself who hasn't had a round house with her!

She took the initiative before, and after being rejected several times, she also has self-esteem, and she never wants to take the initiative again!

The couple frowned, so that Zhen Youqian, who still wanted to say a few words, didn't know how to continue, and even felt that it was redundant for him to sit here.

I also ate the rice and drank the milk tea, it's time to go back.

So he drank the rest of the milk tea, then got up and said, "It's not too early, and if it's too late, I won't go back to the ox cart in Peach Blossom Village, so I'll go back first." ”

"If you have time, you will also come to my house."

Besino's got up to send him off.

"I'll send you."

Zhen Youqian waved his hand.

"It's not that I don't know the road, I can just walk this road myself."

Gu Rao said suddenly, "By the way, village chief, the price of food has risen recently, and it will only rise more and more after a while, so you should also find a way to stock up on more food." ”

Zhen Youqian noticed that she said 'also', and couldn't help but pay attention to her words in his heart.

"I was going to take advantage of the current grain price increase to sell the excess food at home, but I didn't expect it to rise after a while!"

"Fortunately, it hasn't been sold yet!"

He thought that Gu Rao was telling him this to show him how to make money, and he already trusted them in his heart and believed in their ability to make money.

Now that there is such an opportunity to make money in front of him, how can he give it up? There was not even the slightest hesitation.

"Then I won't sell it yet, take advantage of the fact that the price has not risen so outrageously, stock up a little more, and sell it when the price rises again!"

Gu Rao, "......"

Is that what she meant?

Beiye said with a smile, "We asked you to stock up on grain, not to let you resell it to make money, but to remind you that maybe for a long time in the future, the price of grain will remain high, you had better stock up on some and keep it for yourself, otherwise, it is likely that your own food will not be enough to eat." ”

Zhen Youqian looked slightly stunned.

"I'm a farmer, I live by farming, as long as there is a harvest every year, I will definitely not be unable to eat, and it's not enough to hoard grain......

Now that the price is so good, it's a pity that he didn't take the opportunity to sell it, and he was asked to buy it back at a high price and stock it up, he was really reluctant.

Beno said, "Farming depends on God for food, but no one can predict what the harvest will be next year. ”

"What's more, haven't you noticed that this year's taxes have risen?"

"Perhaps, taxes will be higher next year."

"At that time, no one knows how much of the grain that has been planted will be handed over, and how much will be left."

Zhen Youqian suddenly trembled.

When Beiye and Gu Rao didn't remind him, he didn't care at all, but now that they reminded him, he suddenly began to be scared in hindsight.

This year's tax revenue has indeed gone up, and it's a lot higher than last year.

Barely within his reach.

At first, he thought it was the corruption of the county order and raised the grain tax privately, but he didn't know how many times he scolded the corrupt official of the county order, but now he realized that maybe things were not so simple.
