"Hmph, no way! If I am killed, I will not join forces with the Feng family. Li Sandao said toughly.

Li Fan shook his head, he knew this guy's temperament, so he looked at Cheng Shui above if he couldn't make sense: "Right now, our funds are all pressed in the granary, if we don't hurry up, this business route is unsustainable, why bother with money." What is Mrs. Cheng's opinion? ”

Everyone's eyes converged on Cheng Shui, and Li Fan clearly wanted to test her with this question.

I saw Mrs. Cheng calmly asking: "What is the price of grain now?" ”

"1000 Wen a stone."

"Nearby villages and towns, how much food is stored at home."

"After experiencing the rise in food prices before, I'm afraid that now I have exchanged silver money for grain." Li Fan reacted. "In this way, even if the grain merchants join forces, I am afraid that the people in the vicinity will not be able to buy much."

"Hahaha, that's not a bamboo basket for water." Li Sandao laughed, and when he saw the Feng family suffering, he was happy in his heart.

Li Fan sighed: "Even so, my Li family's grain can't be sold, and it will be damaged by eight hundred." ”

Cheng Shui had a plan in mind, and asked by name: "What does Mr. Zhao think?" ”

Everyone looked at the end of the seat, but they were different, and several people led by Li Sandao and Li Fan were a little disdainful, as if they had a prejudice against Zhao Yannian.

"Contemptible people are not talented, this kind of predicament, there are no good ideas for a while." Zhao Yannian said calmly: "It's just that I have some other concerns, and I don't know whether to talk about it." ”

"Please."

"I don't know where this caravan came from, but the food is too heavy to transport, so it can be seen that the source is not too far away. I fear that in this year there will be no grain in the land, and if there are no caravans of such grain in other towns, I am afraid that disaster will arise. Zhao Yannian said it clearly.

Everyone present was in their hearts, Cheng Shui nodded, this Zhao Yannian doesn't know business, but he looks like a strategist.

"So what should we do?" Cheng closed his mouth and broke the silence.

Old Man Cheng didn't panic: "The new emperor is on the throne, and the court is stable." Mr. Zhao said it too early, this caravan can't sell grain in Shilong Town, and it must go to Zengcheng or other places to sell it, so you don't need to panic. ”

The others breathed a sigh of relief, but Cheng Shui spoke: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, they think that joining forces with the Feng family is effective, and they refuse to leave because they are lucky." ”

"Auntie, what should we do now?" Li Benqi was a little confused when he heard it, he was more concerned about the future of the Li family.

Cheng Shui comforted him and said: "These relationships are complicated, and if you don't want to understand the direction of things, it's best to stay put, so as not to make a wrong step." ”

"So we're just standing still now?" Li Sandao was dissatisfied.

"I'm talking about people who don't sort out relationships, and it's better not to act rashly." Cheng Shui couldn't help but glance at him: "Now, think about it from another angle, all we have to do is turn grain into silver, or rather, we just need to make money now." ”

"Isn't this still a matter of selling grain?" Li Sandao said grinningly.

"Please also ask my aunt to make it clear." Li Benqi was very respectful.

"Don't worry, let's serve the food first." Cheng Shui looked around and motioned for everyone to eat first.

People can't, as she says.

After the dishes were served and the banquet was held, Zhao Yannian stepped forward and said: "Today, because the Li family is young, the daughter of the Cheng family temporarily takes the position of the head of the family, and her life is the same, and she will return the gift when the crown is returned." ”

Everyone who sat down raised their glasses and changed their words: "To the master of the family!" ”

Cheng Shui raised his hand and signaled: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people." The old woman should do her best. ”

After the ceremony, Cheng Shui temporarily managed the Li family caravan on behalf of Li Benqi.

Li Fan drank two glasses of wine and looked at Cheng Shui: "Family master, can you talk about how to sell grain now?" He clearly meant something.

It's a pity that he didn't guess correctly, and Cheng Shui didn't play tricks, he just wanted to wait for this tofu to be served on the table, and he was not annoyed when he heard Li Fan's urging.

She pointed to the tofu on the table and asked, "Everyone tasted it just now, how does this tofu taste?" ”

Everyone looked down at this plate of refreshing tofu. Cheng Gang was the first to speak: "I haven't seen this dish just now, so I guessed that this is the new tofu obtained by the head of the family, the color is elegant and clean, the fragrance is fragrant, and it tastes even cooler." ”

Li Benqi hurriedly took a bite and also praised: "Auntie, this tofu is magical, and the aftertaste is endless." ”

For a time, everyone in the audience was full of praise. Cheng Shuicai said: "Indeed, this tofu is most suitable for summer, clearing heat and moisturizing dryness. In addition, regardless of the elderly and children, this substance nourishes the qi, strengthens the spleen and stomach, and can enhance the body. ”

"Good stuff indeed." Old Man Cheng touched his beard and nodded: "Even I, a person with inconvenient teeth, don't have trouble eating." ”

Cheng Rui heard the words and said: "Grandpa likes it, then I'll give this plate to grandpa." With that, he got up and handed the tofu on the table to Old Man Cheng.

"Soft and glutinous, rare and good. But what does this have to do with selling grain? Li Fan asked.

"Because this tofu is made from soybeans." Cheng Shui saw that everyone agreed, so he said bluntly: "In this situation, it is not feasible to sell grain directly, and it is the most loss. But if you think about it, you can know that most people now have a lot of food at home, and they don't have to eat these beans to satisfy their hunger, and the price of beans is lower. ”

"That's right, the beans you get in exchange for make tofu and sell it, this, this will definitely make a lot of money." Li Benqi's eyes were shining, and Cheng Sailor's hands were itchy. "Auntie, you're amazing."

Although others were not as exclaimed as Li Benqi, they were also impressed, Li Fan said: "If we all do the same for the grain that we have not sold, we can indeed make a fortune quickly, and this matter is feasible." I just don't know how to make it, is it difficult? ”

Cheng Er can answer this matter now, he listened to it for a while, his heart was shocked, and he also wanted to show it in front of his mother, so he looked at Cheng Shui and asked.

Cheng Shui nodded: "My second son and his brother have mastered this recipe, and they can let him answer it." ”

Cheng Er at the back table got up: "It's not difficult to make this tofu, but there is a tool that needs to be made as soon as possible, and the stone grinding is a must." The rest is just a bit of a labor effort. ”

Li Sandao laughed when he heard this: "Our brothers who go to business, the most important thing is strength. If the head of the family can rest assured, this matter is on me! ”

"Then let my son teach you this recipe today." Cheng Shui said directly, and it was decided in a few words.

"The head of the family is noble!" Seeing that Cheng Shui had no idea of hiding his secrets, Zhao Yannian took the lead in getting up, and the others also got up and raised their glasses when they saw this.

Cheng Shui accepted it calmly, and only after everyone sat down did he mention it again. "There's one more thing, I'll talk about it, let's discuss it."

"Head of the house, please speak."

"I want to ask you, what do you think is raining on this day? If you still can't farm next year? What should I do then? "This is what Cheng Shui has thought about a long time ago.

As soon as the news came out here in Shilong Town, the displaced people must be on their way to come, at the latest a month. And if she wants to resist the onslaught of the displaced people, she can't do it without soldiers and power.

Originally, she thought that if she couldn't do it, she would dig tunnels or take everyone into the mountains to hide, but she could hide from ten people but not from hundreds, and she couldn't hide from dead things such as food if she could live people.

After thinking about it, I thought of a method, although it is difficult, there is still a lot of room for implementation, and the most important of them is food.
