Chapter 140: Food Prices

By the time Yun Zhen and Tianfu came back for the second time, the two of them had all their belongings full. "Eldest sister, we got a lot more, what do you want to send to Grandma Zhong's house." Yun Zhen shouted.

Yun Xue hurriedly followed into the house to take a look, there were more than a dozen fish in the tank alone, and some of them could probably sink three catties. There was also a bucket of river prawns, two full pots of gala. After thinking about it for a while, Yun Xue fished out two carps that were about three catties long, and filled a pot of gala in a small pot, which was prepared for the Zhong family. In addition, a few more fish were fished out, as well as some river shrimp and gala. There is Yun Zhen at home, these things are indispensable, it is better to send some to the Zhao family and the Liu family. At the beginning of spring this year, thanks to others, all kinds of seeds are enough. These things, even if they can be obtained by others, are always a part of the Han family's wishes, and they will not refuse if they want to come.

"Yun Zhen, Tianfu, you send these to the Liu family, the Zhao family, and the Li family, which can be regarded as a little bit of our heart." Yun Xue commanded.

So, the three of them each took something and sent it to someone's house. Yun Xue naturally walked to Zhong's house, and when she came to Zhong's house, she happened to see Qianru sitting in the courtyard. "Sister Qianru, I'll send you some fish."

As soon as Qianru saw Yunxue, she hurriedly greeted her happily, "You've been busy farming for a while, but I haven't seen you for some days." How? Have all the land planted at home? With that, Qianru came to Yunxue's side. Look at you, just come here, why don't you still take these things. She turned back to the house and shouted, "Grandma, mother, Yunxue has brought us fish." ”

Qianru led Yun Xue to the house, just as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family came out of the house, and when she saw this, she quickly took the fish and pot in Yun Xue's hand. "Look, what are you doing with all that stuff? Just keep it for your own home. You didn't get any of this, did you? The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family looked at Yun Xue, for fear that Yun Xue would go into the water to touch the fish, although it was warm today, it was quite cold in the water.

"It's not me, it's Yun Zhen and Tianfu who went to the river to touch it. Our children by the Yalu River are all good at water, and they can sleep in the water. I just heard Yun Zhen say that many people are in the river today, I guess that you are afraid that no one will be able to get these things, so I will send some, at this time, there is really no food to eat. Yun Xue followed into the house.

In the east room, Grandma Zhong was doing needlework there, and as soon as she heard that Yun Xue was coming, she put down the things in her hand. "Girl, come and sit down. Yo, I've been working these days, and I'm tanning again. ”

Yun Xue doesn't belong to that kind of particularly white skin, she works all day long, and it is rare to be able to maintain a light honey color. However, in the past few days of farming, the spring sun has tanned the clouds and snow a little. "It's okay, I'll be raised back in a few days, the people in our crop yard, where do you care about this?" Yun Xue said indifferently.

"Then you can't care less, you haven't talked about family affairs yet, it's tanned, it's hard to find your in-laws." Grandma Zhong said with a smile.

"Mother, let's stew fish in the evening, Yunxue also brought some gala, I will slow it with water, and fry it with chili peppers tomorrow." The daughter-in-law of the Zhong family entered the house and asked.

"Okay, these things, you just look at the arrangement. By the way, Qianru doesn't seem to be able to smell the fishy smell, so when the fish is stewed at night, let her stay away. Cook her something else to eat alone, remember. The old lady hurriedly admonished.

Yunxue is a little strange, Qianru used to love fish very much, what's wrong? Can't smell the fish yet? Yun Xue remembered that she had heard someone say in her previous life, it seems that if a woman is pregnant, some will be happy and can't smell fishy. She looked at Qianru, who was blushing on the side, and a look flashed in her eyes. "Sister Qianru, congratulations." got married a few years ago, and now it's only been three months. It's a good thing that Qianru got pregnant so soon.

"You goblin, you know everything. It's not been three months yet, it's hard to make a noise, we haven't told the Zhao family yet. As soon as Grandma Zhong saw Yun Xue's expression, she knew what Yun Xue was thinking.

Yun Xue sat at Zhong's house for a while, then said goodbye and went home, and Qianru sent Yun Xue to the gate. "Sister Qianru, go back quickly. Now that you're a double body, you have to be careful. Don't work hard, take care of it, and give birth to a chubby boy in the future. Yun Xue turned around and said with a smile.

She is really happy for Qianru, Yunxue only has two friends who get along well. Hanyu married Shishidaogou, and I heard that she was also pregnant, and during the Chinese New Year, she didn't dare to let Hanyu come back, for fear of moving the fetus. A while ago, Grandma Li also said that when the spring ploughing is over, she will ask Tiezhu to take Hanyu back to live for a while, and then send it back after the Dragon Boat Festival.

Thinking that the two friends have all become relatives, and now that they have children, Yun Xue is actually a little envious in her heart. Although she thinks that these two people got married earlier, but this year, women generally marry early. Besides, if you marry early, your children will be born early, and if you are young, your children will be older, which is actually a lot easier.

Like in previous lives, some women did not give birth to children until they were in their thirties. When the children are in their twenties, it is time to go to college, start a business, and get married, but the parents are in their fifties and sixties, and they don't have the ability to help do anything. On the contrary, a few middle school classmates also got married at eighteen or nineteen, and they couldn't even register their marriage. But later, other people's children were able to make soy sauce, but they hadn't married yet. It's really hard to say about things in this world.

Qianru was still a little uncomfortable, "Okay, you go home quickly, girl's family, don't talk about this here." Qianru's face was red.

Yun Xue waved her hand, "I'm leaving, you can go back quickly." With that, he hurried home.

In the evening, Yun Xue and Yun Ni stewed two fish and fried some river shrimp, and everyone ate quite deliciously.

"Let's go to the county seat in two days, buy some Jiang rice and come back, it's April 17, and it's not long before the Dragon Boat Festival. The price of grain is high this year, and I estimate that in a few days, the price of Jiangmi will have to rise. You have to use it anyway, and you don't have to care about it for a few days. While eating, Yun Xue said.

"Well, okay. Then I'll just go with Tianfu, the eldest sister and Yunni are at home. We still have some rhubarb rice at home, so we will buy less Jiang rice, and then mix it with zongzi. This year, the price of grain has risen very fast, and last month I went to buy rice, 10 wen a catty, but two days ago I heard people say that it has risen to 16 wen, saying that it will go up. Thanks to the fact that we still had some food last year, it would have been really sad now. Yun Zhen nodded, this year is not good, Gao Li's side is making a lot of noise, and Da Zhou's side is also unstable, and prices are rising a little in suspense.

"Our family's food must not be harmed, and last year, thanks to picking up so many acorns, we were able to solve the problem of eating those pigs. Otherwise, just these pigs will be enough for us. "When I was threshing beans last year, except for the bean straw to feed the cows, all the bean wool was left behind. These are good things to feed pigs, and when they are mixed with acorns, the piglets eat happily. "I hope that all this grain at home can last until the autumn harvest, so that there is no need to be afraid." Yun Zhen muttered.

"Buy more grain and come back, the house is full of coarse grains, and you are all growing up, you can't always eat coarse grains. Take advantage of the fact that the price of food is not too high now, and hurry up to buy some back. Yun Xue thought for a moment, and then said. Now there are seven people in the family to eat, and they have to prepare some more food so that they don't panic. The family still has some money now, so it's better to buy some food and put it away, and the province has no bottom in my heart.

"That's okay, I'll go to the county seat with Tianfu tomorrow, our family has a car, it's good to buy more food and come back." Now there is a lot of commotion outside, I really don't know when it will be good. Yun Zhen thought for a moment, and then said, "Eldest sister, let's dig a cellar at home." When the time comes, hide all the grain in the cellar, so that there is no fear of anything. Now in this situation, I always feel a little hairy in my heart. It's spring now, and there are still wild vegetables to eat in the field, and when it comes to winter, Gao Li may have nothing to eat. At that time, maybe someone will come and rob it. ”

Yun Xue felt a pang in her heart, she really hadn't thought about this. If Gao Li's war does not end this year, this winter, I am afraid it will be even more chaotic. "Okay, then let's dig the cellar when we have time. These things are really guarded against, otherwise, if you don't get it right, you will have to suffer. ”

Everyone hurriedly finished dinner, and then the boys went to the West House to read books, Yun Xue and Yun Ni finished cleaning up the house, and the two of them worked under the lamp. "Eldest sister, do you really think you can do what the second brother said?"

Yun Xue sighed, "I hope not, but we can't help but prepare." In fact, we are really blessed here, relying on the mountains, and some of the forests are for food. If it weren't for Gao Li's mess, there would be nothing on our side, and we would all be able to live in peace. ”

That's true, it's in the Changbai Mountains, eight hundred miles of forests, lush, and there are things in the forest that can be eaten and used. There is the Yalu River outside, and there is no drought in normal times, even if the Yalu River occasionally floods, their village is halfway up the mountain, so there is no need to be afraid. It's a pity, there is no such thing as perfection in the world, Gao Li on the other side has been a little dangerous in the past two years, but now that he looks at it, it is getting more and more powerful.

"Eldest sister, you don't have to worry, maybe when the imperial court understands it, it will send troops to guard it. In that case, we don't have to be afraid. Yun Ni thought for a moment, and then comforted Yun Xuedao.

For this, Yun Xue has no hope. "Come on, the current court? It's too late for them to fight for power and profit, where can they care about the lives and deaths of the people? Besides, the imperial court has always attached importance to Jiangnan, a bitter cold place in the north, and no one cares about it at all. ”
