Chapter 35: Dig a pit and wait for you to jump
After a while, Wanhe poked Miaoxue beside her and motioned her to see Ji Yuejiao.
Jun Xiuyi noticed that Ji Yuejiao was the little girl who had watched him on the street for a long time a few days ago, and then remembered Mo Huai's evaluation of her, and the corners of Jun Yiyi's lips couldn't help but smile.
Such a big child, but Mo Huai said that she was a little fox, which was a bit interesting.
Ji Yuejiao saw that several people's attention was on herself, she was not timid, and showed a sweet smile at Jun Yanyi.
Bai Leng couldn't understand the eyebrow lawsuit between them, so he scratched his head, not knowing what his fourth brother was doing staring at this little girl.
He originally thought that Changning City was dilapidated enough, but he didn't expect the fourth brother to bring him to such a wilderness.
For a while, Bai Leng couldn't tell whether he was idle or Jun Xiuyi was too idle.
At the end of the greetings, Mo Huai introduced Jun Xiuyi and Bai Leng to the Ji family, he only said that these two people were Jun Gongzi and Bai Gongzi from Wangjing, but he did not specifically say what the two of them were here for.
Ji Yuejiao guessed eight or nine points in her heart, this blue-eyed handsome guy surnamed Jun was mostly here for chili peppers, and as for Bai Gongzi next to him, he should have come to join in the fun.
Ji Changhe and the old village chief took their children and saluted Mo Huai and the others, and then began to arrange the whereabouts of the food.
Ji Yuejiao never expected that her father discussed with the old village chief for a long time, and finally decided to hide the grain in the abandoned cellar at the foot of Weizi Mountain.
Before the drought, the cellar was abandoned because it was too far from the village, and now the villagers rarely visit the cellar.
It's a good place to hide food, yes, but it's not easy to take care of, and if someone is targeted, they don't even have time to react.
But in front of Mo Huai and a few people, Ji Yuejiao did not raise her own questions, the old village chief has always done things safely, and he must have considered these problems. He must have chosen to hide grain in this cellar now, and there must be a reason of his own.
Mo Huai is not stingy in doing things, thirty taels of silver sent a total of 6,000 catties of corn, 4,800 catties of black noodles, and by the way, he also posted the freight and transportation money.
Ji Yuejiao watched the bags of grain being sent into the cellar, she suddenly felt that her hoarding habit had been greatly satisfied, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was almost impossible to hide.
However, don't look at the food sent by Juewei Building, if you eat it with an open stomach, it will only be enough for the people in the village to eat for two months, so you have to distribute it carefully, otherwise the coming harsh winter will still be difficult.
Good thing they still have yams!
Thinking of the yam, Ji Yuejiao couldn't help but look at Jun Xiuyi, since he was attracted by the chili pepper, the acceptance of these unseen foods should be relatively high, would he be interested in the yam?
Originally, the yams on the seven-mile slope, Ji Yuejiao wanted to keep them for her own family.
But as soon as Jueweilou sent so much food, there was no need to keep all the yams on the mountain.
Second, in the eyes of others, yam is a rare thing, and her family has no conditions to eat it boiled or roasted, if it is sold to this gentleman or Mo Huai, they will definitely be able to develop more ways to eat and sell it at a higher price. The money from selling yams can also be exchanged for more supplies, so why wouldn't she do it?
Jun Xiuyi naturally noticed Ji Yuejiao's gaze staring at him, but his eyes were different from ordinary people, and people looked at him a few more times wherever he went, Jun Yanyi only thought that Ji Yuejiao was a little girl and was curious, but she didn't expect her to hit her mind on herself.
Mo Huai brought a lot of people, and several people in Weizi Village were good at work, so they moved all the grain to the cellar at the foot of Weizi Mountain in a short time.
The old village chief is the most aware of words and feelings, and he has long seen that Mo Huai and the son he brought over have something to say to Ji Changhe, and as soon as the food is put away, he will let the Ji family leave.
Before Ji Yuejiao's family left the cellar, the old village chief specially counted 300 catties of corn and 200 catties of black noodles, and asked his two sons to help send them to Ji's house.
This is what the old village chief said to Ji Changhe early in the morning, the Ji family is righteous and willing to take out so much food to help the people in the village tide over the difficulties, but he can't help but be ignorant.
These 500 catties must be given to the Ji family.
When the village distributes the grain in the next ten years, the Ji family will also receive the grain like other families in the village, so as not to make people doubt the origin of the grain.
At the time of the drought, the people in the village didn't take it seriously, and he, as the head of the village, repaired the water cellar, and went door to door to collect grain according to the head and hide it in the cellar of the village ancestral hall, and distributed it to each family every ten years according to the amount.
This is also a stupid way to come up with for fear that some families in the village will eat food lavishly, and if they don't have to eat, they will beat other people's ideas.
Originally, the grain collected was only enough for the people in the village to eat until September, but he reduced the food distribution for each household, and the grain in the ancestral hall could last until October. However, if there is no batch of grain sent by Jueweilou, I am afraid that as soon as October passes, the village will run out of food.
Ji Changhe did not refuse, this is the food that Ji Yuejiao earned with his ability, although he was willing to pull the people in the village, he never thought that he would even send his own food for the winter.
The Xia brothers helped deliver the food to the door of Ji's house and left, but Mo Huai and the others followed them into the courtyard.
Ji Changhe took his two sons to separate the grain and put it away, part of it was put in the rice jar in the kitchen, and the other part was received in the small cellar under the kitchen.
The climate in Yong'an County is cold, so every household in Weizi Village has a large or small cellar to store vegetables or grain.
When the Wang family heard the sound, they took Ji Yuening out of the hall to entertain Mo Huai and a few people. Although the Great Qianchao also paid attention to the defense of men and women, it was not so strict, as long as it was not a closed door private meeting, ordinary exchanges, women could also go out to entertain guests.
Although the Wang family had never seen them, they also guessed that this should be the owner of Juewei Building, so they beckoned a few of them to sit in the first room.
Wang hesitated to pour them a glass of water, it was not that she was stingy, but that the family was really running out of water.
Ji Yuejiao opened her mouth, "Uncle Mo, two sons and two beautiful sisters, my mother won't pour water for you to drink." The water tank at home is about to bottom out, and my mother has to leave some for me to cook yams to eat! ”
What are you kidding, talking about business, and giving them water to drink?
After making tea for them, Ji Yuejiao estimated that the water in her house would not be enough to eat, and the village chief would distribute the water and food three days later.
What's more, those two beautiful girls should be Jun Yanyi's maids, and they both carried water bladders with them, and they were full of water at a glance.
However, she deliberately mentioned the matter of yams, which was to dig a pit and wait for people to jump.
Bai Leng had never been to this kind of place, although there was no movement in his hands, his eyes were looking around, and he didn't care what Ji Yuejiao said.
Jun Xiuyi waved his hand to show that he didn't care, he was picky about drinking water, even if Wang poured water, he might not be able to drink it. What's more, Wanhe and Miaoxue carry water bladders with them, so he doesn't have to drink the last of the people's water.
However, what is the yam that this little girl mentioned?
Jun Yanyi knocked on the table, Mo Huai was also listening to Ji Yuejiao's speech, and immediately understood what his grandfather wanted to know.
Mo Huai opened his mouth and said, "Yuejiao, if your family's water is not enough, Jueweilou will send you another car." But what was the yam you just mentioned? Is it eaten? ”
