Chapter Forty-Nine: You Can Beat the Thief Again!
Zhao Changsheng smiled and said, "Aren't you also quite strong?" ”
Song Laosi looked at him with bright eyes, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother, look at me...... Do you have the talent to learn martial arts? ”
"Do you want to learn martial arts? If you want to learn, come to me tomorrow morning at the right time! Zhao Changsheng saw his expression and couldn't hold back a smile.
When Fuya heard that there was something delicious, she also looked at her eyes - emmm, since you have come to the county seat, bring some snacks back to your goddaughter, right? The little guy likes to eat the yam cake of Ding Xiangju the most.
The remaining sixty taels from selling the bears, as well as the forty taels from the sale of yellow sheep and roe deer, Zhao Changsheng planned to buy a batch of coarse grains first. Fortunately, although the price of grain is more expensive than in previous years, it can still be purchased freely.
However, the amount of grain they bought was huge, and they were still interrogated a few words. On the pretext of buying grain for the whole village, they went to several grain shops, bought 2,000 catties of grain, and hired an ox cart to pull it back at one time.
Of course, they could not pull it back directly, but piled up straw and firewood on the grain as a cover. Song Laosi was worried all the way, and everyone felt like a robbery. Zhao Changsheng rolled his eyes: Isn't this a typical "no silver three hundred taels here"?
Finally transported the grain home, Song Laosi breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Zhao Changsheng: "Brother, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back first!" ”
The nerves were so tense that he felt tired when he relaxed, and he felt like he could sleep standing up.
Two thousand catties of coarse grain were used for forty taels of silver. Yes, coarse grains have grown to 20 wen a catty, and they may not be able to buy them. The grain shops in the town have long been closed, and the two stores that have opened in the county, regardless of coarse grain and fine grain, have become unattainable existences for them. At this price, the whole village was pleasantly surprised to buy back so much grain.
Zhao Changsheng handed over the remaining sixty taels to the village chief and said, "According to the regulations, I and the Sixi brothers divided one hundred taels, and sixty taels returned to the village." The grain exchanged for yellow sheep and roe deer, the village chief, you watch the distribution. I'll take my leave! ”
As he spoke, he arched his hand and strode away with the ox cart.
The respected Song patriarch in the village looked at his departing back and said, "The son-in-law of the Jiang family, who is inverted, doesn't know what the origin is. He is driving an ox cart, and he is not like a farmer! ”
The village chief shook his head and said, "The mother and daughter of the Jiang family don't look like they came from ordinary families...... I heard that the outside world is not peaceful, and many big families have suffered...... Alas! In this world, no one is easy! Uncle, look at this grain, how do we distribute it? ”
Patriarch Song thought for a while and said, "Let's lend it to those who have been stolen from their homes first!" Without food, how can you survive a long and harsh winter? The rest ...... The families who participated in the village protection team were rewarded with ten catties of grain per month. Like Mu Gen'er, those who contribute to the safety of Houshan Village will be rewarded with two catties. What do you think? ”
"Very good! It is...... Do you want to reward those who participated in the Winter Hunting Team? After all, they took a risk to get these things back. "The village chief thinks that those who enter the mountain in the cold and freezing conditions are only divided into thirty catties of meat, which is a little less!
Patriarch Song said, "Then ...... A family will be rewarded with two taels of silver? ”
Two taels of silver is one hundred catties of coarse grain. Now that food is difficult to get, those families are not short of food for the time being, and the prize money is very good!
It is no surprise that neither the Song family nor the Jiang family asked for the two taels of silver. These two families are in the courtyard of the Song family at this time, waiting to drink haggis soup!
Zhang Chunmei sniffed the thick fragrance in the air, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Mother, that's two taels of silver, and the Winter Hunting Team has it, why don't we want it?" ”
Wu Pozi scooped some haggis soup into the bowl with a spoon, tried it salty, and said, "Didn't our family divide fifty taels and half a yellow sheep?" Although money is important, people can't be too greedy, otherwise they will take back the blessings that should have been yours! Didn't the Jiang family ask for it either? ”
Zhang Chunmei pursed her lips and said in her heart: Can our family compare with the Jiang family? When people go to the county seat to see their wife's wife, the reward is more than that!
Two taels of silver can buy 100 catties of grain and more than 40 catties of meat! There is no shortage of the old Song family, but there is a shortage of them in the Zhang family! Yesterday, her brother snuck over and asked her for food! The little money she saved in her hands had already been squeezed out by her mother's family. The grain and silver are covered to death by the old woman, where will she get food?
Mrs. Wu was too lazy to pay attention to this calculating daughter-in-law. She extinguished the fire under the stove, put some garlic sprouts and coriander in the soup, and shouted outside: "The sheep soup is ready!" ”
Sister-in-law Song took two bowls out, one for her father-in-law and one for Jiang.
Jiang Shi, who was holding Fuya, hurriedly put the bowl on the kang table, for fear that the little guy in his arms would smell the fragrance and grab the bowl and burn her again.
As soon as I looked down, I saw that the little milk baby who was originally nibbling on pastries was shrugging her nose and smelling the fragrance. She smiled and asked, "Is it fragrant?" ”
Song Ziran nodded, and brought her head closer. You can't blame her for being greedy, anyone who eats food that has no taste for more than half a year will be the same as her. What she wants to eat most now is hot pot, spicy and other foods with heavy oil, spicy and heavy taste.
Jiang Shi picked out a small piece of sheep brain from the soup and brought it to her mouth to tease her: "Do you want to eat it?" ”
Song Ziran didn't wait for her words to fall, so she took a "whin" and took the sheep brain in her mouth. She knew that if she hesitated for a moment, the goat's brain would definitely not reach her mouth.
"This little girl eats like a little tiger." Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. The people around her were also amused by her.
Song Ziran calmly tasted the sheep brain in her mouth: delicious, fragrant and tender, without any fishy smell, worthy of her milk, cooking skills are excellent!
Jiang Zhixue saw that the little guy finished eating what was in his mouth, and stared at the haggis soup in the bowl again, and was busy: "Mother, the viscera are high in fat, don't give it to Fuya again, be careful of making your stomach." ”
Jiang Shi smiled: "I still don't know? I didn't plan to give her that bite just now. This little girl is too fast to prevent! ”
After listening to the conversation between the godmother and the dry milk, Song Ziran knew that she didn't want to think about these sheep soups, and calmly lowered her head to nibble on the pastries in her hands - it was better to be a godfather, and she knew that she would be slightly better when she went out. As for his father, he will only show off his godfather's agreement to teach him martial arts. Alas, this father, can you still have it?
At night, Song Ziran lay in the warm quilt and listened to her grandmother chatting with her grandfather.
Mrs. Wu took out the silver ticket she had hidden, put it together with the fifty taels that had just been credited to her account today, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Oops! Our old Song family's family background is much richer! It's the first time I've seen so much silver, old woman! ”
Who would have thought that the old Song family, who was still living by borrowing grain last year, would have a "huge sum" of 150 taels of silver! This was something she had never dared to think of before.
Thinking of the cellar full of grain, Mrs. Wu felt extremely relieved.
