"And they said that this time they only stayed in the town for three days, and the grain they pulled was to be sent to the county town to be sold, if the big guy wants to buy it, he has to hurry, otherwise people will leave, and they will not be able to buy such cheap and good food."

"By the way, I know that the big guys are muttering in their hearts, I grabbed some of the grain they sold, you can take a look"

As he spoke, Yu Dahai pulled out a cloth bag from his arms, only the size of a palm, and contained grain.

"This ...... It's ...... with what you eat."

The village chief looked at it and his eyes widened in shock.

"Yes, my young lady has been eating his family's grain, this is fine grain, there is basically not much rough grain mixed in it, this is thirty dollars a pound, but it is a good thing to fall from the sky, if the big guy buys it, he can't miss it"

"Cheng, I know, and I'm bothering you to make this trip"

"Don't get in the way, the little piglet's thing will also bother you a lot"

Yu Dahai sat for a while, seeing that it was not early, and then said goodbye and went back.

The rest is the village chief's business.

When he left, the village chief's daughter-in-law came out of the back room.

"Miss Xia, they want to raise pigs?"

During the day she went to work in the fields, and was not at home, and it was only at night that she heard about it.

"How can you, woman, listen to everything?" The village chief frowned.

"What can't I listen to, this Miss Xia can stay, I have made a lot of efforts, if I hadn't facilitated, you would have driven people away, where could you still make so much money?"

"I hear that, she not only wants to raise pigs, but also seems to have a grain merchant she knows, so that the big guy can buy grain?"

The village chief's daughter-in-law knew that he had this temper, and she was not angry, but asked about other things.

The village chief couldn't help her, so he told her about buying grain.

Although the village chief's daughter-in-law is illiterate, she is very decent.

People are also kind, she felt that it was inappropriate to plant radishes in Baixia before, but the people in the village were really having a hard time, and they were afraid of offending the whole village, so they didn't open their mouths to persuade them.

Listening to what the village chief said, she couldn't help but move her hand, pushed the village chief, and scolded in a low voice: "Why are you not good at braining, you don't care what his food is, don't care if other people's families can afford to eat, you just ask someone to inform them, if you want to buy it, you will naturally buy it, and if you don't want to buy it, you won't have food to eat, and you can't complain about us."

"In recent days, I see that the big guys in the village are still earning hundreds of dollars, if Miss Xia wants to raise pigs, how big is the pigsty she wants to build?"

"So big?" Seeing that the village chief made a gesture, the village chief's daughter-in-law couldn't help but exclaim, pondered in her heart, and couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid that this can raise dozens of pigs?" ”

"Not really"

The two glanced at each other, and their perception of Bai Xia's wealth improved a little.

"Since this is the case, then buy grain" The village chief's daughter-in-law gritted her teeth, went back to the house and turned out all the silver in the house, which had five taels or seven dollars.

He put the seven coins back into his arms, and handed the other five taels of silver to the village chief.

"The family has a large population, and the food is not enough, it is rare to have this opportunity, I believe Miss Xia, the grain merchant's grain should be the best"

The village chief's daughter-in-law felt a little pain in her heart, but this was the money she had saved with great difficulty.

But when I thought of the food at home and the hungry children with yellow faces and thin muscles, I was still ruthless.

"This ...... Won't this be too much, five taels of silver, can buy more than a hundred catties of grain"

The village chief's beard was pulled down, and he was really frightened by his daughter-in-law.

That's all they have.

"Buying food horizontally and vertically will never starve people to death"

"There is a big family in the family"

Saying that, the village chief's daughter-in-law was a little drumming in her heart, and it was time for the children at home to make cotton clothes after the autumn.

Otherwise, you'll freeze to death!

"Cheng"

"Call the bosses over and let them go to the village, and I'll go to the patriarch's house myself."

It wasn't until the family decided to buy grain that the village chief informed the villagers.

If it weren't for that, when the time came to inform the people, they would say, "Eh, do you buy food?" He can't buy it back, can he? I don't buy it at home, but ask others to buy it, what kind of heart is this?

Since you decided to buy it, there's not much to say.

Every house in the village came to the door.

Food is in short supply, and everyone has not gone to the town in the past, but there is not much grain in the town, and many times I went to the town with money, not to mention that I didn't buy food, and I was stolen and taken away.

The family is in even worse trouble.

When the big guys heard that they could buy food, they didn't believe it.

But thinking of Bai Xia's atmosphere, I thought about it again to believe it.

They are all poor, but it is precisely because they are poor that they dare not act rashly.

The village chief and his two sons traveled to the houses, but in the end, only the patriarch's family believed in this matter and sent the eldest son to buy food with the village chief.

The other families each gave 30 wen and asked the village chief to bring food back.

Thinking that the grain merchant would stay for three days, the village chief would buy grain first and see the situation.

"That's it, the village chief wants to borrow our carriage for use, I think there is not much food to pull, but it is okay, but the attitude of the villagers, I am afraid that they will not take out all the money to buy food at once"

Yu Dahai sat in the courtyard, and Bai Xia sat not far from him, listening to him report these things.

He always pays attention to the movements in the village.

"Then what does Uncle Hai think we should do?"

Yu Dahai knew that the villagers were just not at ease, so he said with a smile: "It's normal for them not to believe it, and when the village chief comes back from buying food, they should believe it."

"So Uncle Hai means to let the big guy wait in town?"

Yu Dahai nodded, but seeing Bai Xia smiling and silent, his heart moved, and asked, "Miss has a better idea?" ”

Bai Xia put down the notebook that he had read for a day and pointed to the village.

"Uncle Hai thinks the big guy is short of food?"

"Self-lacking"

"Then why don't they want to use the money to buy food?"

"Afraid of being deceived?"

"It's part of it"

Bai Xia shook his head, Yu Dahai pondered it again, thought about what he said repeatedly, and couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that they actually have food?" ”

"Of course not"

"During this period of coming, what kind of life the families in the village lived, I believe no one knows better than Uncle Hai."

"The reason why they didn't take out all the money, but took out some of it and asked the village chief to ask someone to buy grain, because they felt that there was a lot of food, and they could buy it even if they didn't go for a day."

Yu Dahai doesn't know why, isn't that true?

"Even so, now that food is not easy to buy, they always know, aren't they afraid that the grain will run out and they won't be able to buy it then?"

"What if you can't buy it? At present, they have just passed the autumn harvest and still have food to eat, and in their hearts, saving some food may not be impossible to live."

"In that case, won't our grain be unsold?" Hearing this, Yu Dahai frowned.

If everyone thinks like this, no matter how tight the food is, I am afraid that they will not be able to earn much silver.
