He Xiong was impatient to waste his efforts with him, got up to take his leave, and then went out of the yamen and went straight to the city gate.

In the woods outside the city gate, 200 soldiers were leading their horses to graze, waiting for He Xiong to converge......

In Tai Ji Village, Old Man Tai didn't know that his "reinforcements" had come, and he was drinking tea and greeting with a few guests who suddenly came to the door.

Previously, there were only horse-drawn carriages on the dirt roads outside the village, and when the villagers came up to inquire, the horse-drawn carriages would leave.

But as the bud rice sticks in the field became more and more golden, and the bud rice sticks were nearly half withered, finally people who couldn't bear it began to visit.

For example, the three in front of him are all wealthy squires in the city.

They obviously look at the buds in the field and want to plant a large area next year, but they don't want to buy them at a high price, so they don't like what they say.

"Old man Tai, I heard that this bud is very picky, and it takes a lot of effort! After planting buds, the yield of other crops will be reduced! A squire with a goatee spoke in an exaggerated tone, looking like the Tai family had suffered a big loss.

Another wealthy squire was also a helper, "Yes, bud rice is not as good as sorghum, at least we have been planting sorghum for many years, everything is familiar!" Is this bud a new thing, I heard that the seeds were brought from the south? Can the things in the south be planted in our north, it won't work at all! ”

The third squire was smarter, and when he saw Old Man Tai drooping his eyelids and clicking on the cigarette pouch pot, he smiled and said, "The two brothers don't have to worry so much, after all, Old Man Tai has already grown it here, and it looks good." I just don't know what it will be like to continue planting next year and the year after that! ”

The other two got his eye and began to look back.

The goatee replied, "I'm also worried about this, so after the autumn harvest, I will exchange sorghum for bud rice seeds to help the old man share two thousand catties." In case there is a problem with the bud, the old man will have less losses. ”

The one with a rich figure immediately said, "Me too, I will help the old man share three thousand catties." ”

The third squire was afraid that he would not be able to get cheap, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "I have a lot of land at home, and I also have a lot of sorghum, and I share 5,000 catties." ”

"Oh, no, I have a lot of land, so I'll share 5,000 catties." The goatee repented, and the wealthy squire hurriedly followed, "Yes, I'm also five thousand catties!" ”

The three of them were about to scramble as they spoke, completely forgetting that this was the Tai family, and they also forgot that the old man Tai did not agree.

Obviously, they didn't take the Tai family in their eyes at all, as if they could come to the door today to say it, which was already their greatest sincerity and respect.

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong had a bad face when they heard it, and looked at their father from time to time, as long as their father said a word, they could immediately throw these people out.

Fortunately, Tai Jiye took Yong'an into the city, otherwise the uncle and nephew would have been able to do it immediately, and they would not have endured a single penny at all.

Old Man Tai didn't seem to be angry at all, holding the cigarette bag and knocking on the table.

The three squires looked over and found that the Tai family didn't say anything at all, and the three of them were a little embarrassed, but there was no panic in their expressions.

Old Man Tai said unhurriedly, "The three old men came to the door today, originally thinking that our Tai family was in trouble and came to help!" Then you don't have to, because we don't need anyone to help share it!

"I don't know how many people in and outside the city rushed to buy it, not to mention one pound for one pound for sorghum, even one pound for five pounds, I didn't agree!

"I really don't have to worry so much about the masters, this bud rice is a treasure, not a drag!"

The three squires didn't expect the old man to be so straightforward, and someone raised the market so high, so wouldn't their previous belittlements become a joke.

The faces of the three of them were a little red, and the smarter one gritted his teeth and replied with a dry smile, "I see, that's really why we're too worried." didn't help the old man, but caused trouble for the old man. However, old man, we have a lot of fields at home, and we really want to try this bud rice and change some seeds......"

Old Man Tai didn't wait for him to finish, he had already waved his hand and refused.

"I'm sorry, this lord, it's really that the bud seeds are too popular, and almost all of these buds outside the village have been ordered. Not to mention for you, I'm afraid we won't have enough of it! ”

Goatee was annoyed when he heard this, and shouted at the time, "Impossible, how can tens of thousands of catties of bud rice be ordered?"

We don't want much, it's just a thousand pounds for one person, who do you exchange it for, don't know how to lift! ”

The wealthy squire also had a black face, "Yes, we are all folks in Tai'an, look up and don't look down, the old man can't be so unsympathetic." The price of five catties to one catty is too high, and I have heard that this thing is a cheap thing in the south, and some people use it to feed pigs. A pound of sorghum for a pound of bud rice is already good! ”

Tai Jizong couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded, "Since it's a cheap thing in the south, why don't you go to the south to change!" Why is it to run around our house and make a big fuss, when we are easy to bully in the Tai family?

"Get out of here! It's really a long experience, the first time I saw someone who didn't bow his head, and he regarded himself as a Buddha! When who is a fool, he is abducted and deceived, and he is not afraid of having a god with his head three feet up, and being struck by lightning on a rainy day! ”

"You ......" The three squires were torn through their fig leafs, and they all stood up in annoyance.

It's a pity that before they could scold back, seven or eight people had already jumped in outside the door.

It turned out that He Shan took three or four veterans, plus Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue and Chen Ruiyang, who were pulling slingshots, and each of them was empty-handed.

It's all beads and beads carrying a small wooden stick, the milk is fierce, and the sesame ball is followed by the teeth!

The three squires looked at this posture and knew that they would not be able to get any benefit today, so they flicked their sleeves and walked out.

"Let's go, let's not see these mud legs today!"

"Yes, the Tai family is nothing more than that, they are all a bunch of idiots who dig in the soil!"

They snorted as they spoke, but the big black horse and the big white horse stood by the door, suddenly rolled their lips, and gave them saliva one by one!

"Bad luck, bad luck!"

"Where did the dead horse come from!"

The three squires were mad, pulling their sleeves and being lazy, but unfortunately the more they wiped it, the more it smelled, I really don't know what these two horses eat!

Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, and Chen Ruiyang, who were following behind, laughed with a stomachache, and almost rolled around the yard!

At this time, a veteran ran to report, "Old man, Mr. He Qian has arrived!" ”

The Tai family was pleasantly surprised, and they all went out, and saw He Xiong arrive with a large team.

As soon as He Xiong got off the horse, he saw a few squires with bad faces, so he asked in a loud voice, "Uncle, what's the matter with these three people?" ”

The old man didn't add oil and vinegar, and responded, "I don't know what's going on, I suddenly came to the door to change thousands of catties of bud rice." I said that it was all ordered, but they still didn't believe it, and it was a big fuss. ”
