Seeing that Lin Xiaoman was puzzled, Qingshu sighed and explained: "This is not an emergency under the heavy snow, there is not much surplus food in the west of the village, after opening the road to the east of the village, the adults want the east of the village to gather the grain, and everyone will get through the difficulties together, and when the road to the county seat is opened, the adults will double the food to return to them." ”

Lin Xiaoman nodded, "That's a good idea." ”

Qingshu spread his hands, "I don't know who said it, a drought and a snow disaster, the people in the county will not be able to eat food, even if the road is open, the food will not be able to be transported for a while and a half, and they are afraid that their families will be hungry, so it is better to say that a family is only willing to take a dozen catties of grain, and a few thorny cones that are directly taken." In the past half a month, everyone can only boil porridge in snow water and drink, and the porridge is so thin that you can see the bottom of the bowl. ”

Lin Xiaoman didn't expect this to be the result, but he could also understand the thoughts of the people in the village, the year before last, the dragon turned over, and Hedong Village was the most seriously affected, and he didn't see the county order send someone to help, and even the grain was not collected at all.

Last year, there was another drought, and the grain harvest was seriously in deficit, and the grain was also paid in full, and the remaining grain of every household could not be eaten even if they were saved.

If it weren't for the fact that the village has made a lot of money recently, and it is no wonder that everyone attaches great importance to food, even if they double it and refuse to give it back to them.

It can only be said that Lu Jin, a small county order, came at an inopportune time, and took office after the villagers completely distrusted the government, which is also a helpless thing.

Lin Xiaoman was hesitating to say that her family had a lot of food, but she heard Lu Jin say: "You have hidden the food that I brought you, no matter who comes to borrow food, you can't borrow it, take care of you and your brother first." ”

After speaking, Lu Jin was about to leave, and Lin Xiaoman, who was still struggling with whether to take it or not, was not entangled now.

Although she still doesn't believe that the two of them will eventually become husband and wife, Lu Jin's concern is not a lie, and she can't bear to see the little county order worrying about food.

Besides, you can't watch everyone starve to death, right?

Lin Xiaoman said: "My lord, I made some food before, thinking that it happened to be sold in the county seat in the first month, so I hoarded some grain, who knew that I would catch up with this snow disaster, and the things could not be delivered to the county, so it was better to take it out and share it with everyone." ”

Lu Jin didn't think how much grain Lin Xiaoman would hoard, and waved his hand to refuse when he heard the words, "How can you have enough food?" More than 300 people in the west of the village are waiting to eat enough, even to drink porridge, and they will get two or three stones a day, and they don't know when the road will be opened. It's through, I don't know what the situation is in the county, if you don't have dozens of stone grains at home, it's better to keep it at home. ”

Lin Xiaoman smiled playfully and cutely, "Aren't adults able to pinch and calculate?" We really have dozens of stone grains at home. ”

One sentence made Lu Jin, who had already raised his steps and was about to walk back, stumbling, and almost didn't fall, "How much do you say?" ”

"Dozens of stones, I haven't weighed it, anyway, it's a lot, I can't do it in the New Year, and I'm worried that the food will go bad if I can't finish it."

This time, Lu Jin's gloomy face was clear, "That's good, that's good, you leave your sisters and brothers enough to eat, and sell the rest to the official, whether you ask for food or silver, the official will repay it twice." ”

Lin Xiaoman naturally won't get along with the silver, anyway, the small county order is a rich man at first glance, and he doubled what he said, and he didn't take advantage of the fire to rob it.

Even Lin Xiaoman was still thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to go over there to buy more grain and come back, and then he would sell it to the small county order.

It's just that they don't have any business to do over there lately, and they buy a bit more things, so why don't you see what you can sell here?

Lu Jin went back to find someone to come over to carry the grain, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu also hurried to the warehouse to move the grain back, after all, the bag of rice over there couldn't be used here, they had to load the rice into the vat first, and then let the people here load it back.

Fortunately, I bought a lot of large vats of pickled sauerkraut before, and the rest of the sauerkraut was sold out except for one vat for self-eating, and the vats were all idle there, just used to hold rice.

Lin Xiaoman first got two large jars and put them in the yard, which were full of rice, and asked Lin Erhu to wait here for someone to come and load rice, and she took the opportunity to go to the warehouse to carry back bags of rice and load them into the remaining large jars.

Lu Jin didn't ask people to come over to load rice immediately, but first cleared the last section of snow leading to Lin Xiaoman's house.

Lin Xiaoman's tanks are all large, and one jar contains five bags of 100 catties of rice. More than a dozen jars are full, and there are more than 7,000 catties.

When Lu Jin came over with people and tools for weighing grain, they were all stunned by so much rice. After that, there was a burst of cheers, and with this rice, they were no longer afraid of starvation.

It's just that Lu Jin's eyes are full of resentment, Lin Xiaoman has asked if the food is enough to eat before, and he thinks that when they don't have enough food, they come to her house to get it, and the county order adults beat the swollen face and fill the fat man, so that everyone was hungry for half a month.

Lu Jin didn't expect Lin Xiaoman's family to hoard so much food, and he was a little embarrassed after the shock, he thought that Lin Xiaoman was talking big.

So, I was embarrassed to express my feelings, so I asked the people who came with me to quickly weigh the grain and bag it.

The grain was moved for most of the day, and in the end, only half a jar of rice was left for Lin Xiaoman's family, and Lu Jin didn't let it be loaded anymore.

The grain was 75 stone in total, and Lu Jin promised to wait for the snow disaster to pass, and then give Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother silver at double the price of grain in the city.

After that, Lin Xiaoman left Lu Jin to eat a meal of rice balls at home.

The sisters and brothers love to eat sesame seeds, but Lu Jin has a soft spot for fruits, pineapples, sweet oranges, and strawberries, each of which is eaten with relish, which is why Lin Xiaoman opened all the rice balls and put them in a pocket and frozen, so that he could eat so many flavors at once.

After eating the rice balls, Lu Jin drank another bowl of soup balls, and Qingshu ate a bowl of pickles on the rice balls.

"Little Man girl, your pickles are really good, what's in these pickles?"

The pickles are the eight-treasure pickles that Lin Xiaoman bought in the wholesale market over there, and they cost six yuan a pound per bag.

There were some things she couldn't recognize, so she said what she could recognize, and saw that the master and servant were very interested in this pickle, so she went outside to find two jars, and after washing, each jar contained five bags, just ten catties, and let them take them back and eat them slowly.

After all, it's going to be interrupted over there, and the dishes shouldn't be anything, even if you drink porridge, you have to order pickles, right?

She didn't mind that Xiao Xian Ling came to the house every day to eat, but there were many people on his side, and his brothers like Xu Qiuliang might not be embarrassed to come, and they would eat some pickles, and they would not have the strength to eat because of the lack of salt.

It's just that the pickles in this bag are a bit expensive, and if they eat them and think it's good, she can also go to the wholesale market to batch some pickled pickles and come back and mix them and sell them herself. Some pickles cost only one or two yuan a catty, and they can make a lot of them.

It is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, she really doesn't believe that these Xu family members from the west of the village really have no money, Lin Xiaoman suddenly found a business opportunity.

However, I haven't heard of Xu Yuanru recently, and I don't know if she has exerted a little bit of her ability to cross the heroine in this snow disaster?
