The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

Xue Yinsong rarely got up early in the morning, and was about to relax and stretch, when Zha Jin came back from the outside, holding a pan with deep-fried dough sticks in it.

Xue Yinsong laughed: "It's hard work, did you go to buy breakfast so early?" Zha Jin replied with a sad face: "According to the rules set by your little girl, not only I have to buy breakfast, but the guy is also instructed to buy vegetables Washing the dishes, even a scholar will not let it go, you have to do something meaningful."

Xue Yinsong thought about it carefully, and he really had some meaning: "I haven't seen that girl for a few days, is she still capable?"

Zha Jin winked and put the basket on the stone table, and Qu Hongxiang came out of the kitchen after hearing the sound: "A family can't have idlers, otherwise you will eat idle, and I will eat idle, so we women are destined to do things?"

Xue Yinsong has never been a chauvinist, but there was no concept of women's liberation in ancient times, so it is inconvenient to support her views directly, so he can only talk to him: "I will wash my face."

Qu Hongxiang put a few small dishes of dried tofu, pickled vegetables, pickled mustard, and fermented bean curd on the table, and brought out a pot of boiling hot porridge: "Let's eat after washing. The weather is good today, and the rice is still drying."

Xue Yinsong bit a willow stick and brushed his teeth, and asked in surprise, "What kind of rice?"

Zha Jin complained from the side: "Chen Mi, you don't even know that we have been tossing about drying rice every day during the few days you left."

Qu Hongxiang smiled sweetly, and put a scoop of rice porridge on each empty bowl: "The weather is good, of course we have to dry the rice, the rice in the shop has been piled up in the house for a long time, it will have a smell, and the color of the sun will look better .”

Xue Yinsong asked with a smile: "I see that you are familiar with the business, have you ever worked in a rice shop?"

Qu Hongxiang smiled and said: "No, my family used to run a cloth shop, but I stayed in the countryside, and the farmers have to dry the rice when the weather is good, otherwise there will be a musty smell after a long time."

Xue Yinsong thought in his heart that this girl has some means of commanding people around, but on the surface she walked over and sat down calmly: "Zhajin, I want to borrow it for two days, and I need him to go to Chenjiacun for something."

Qu Hongxiang waved his hand indifferently: "Go, go, let Gong Er do it when the time comes."

Xue Yinsong reminded: "He doesn't know the details, so he has to be on his guard. The buddy reminded you, right?"

"I know, I know, don't worry, you don't need to worry about the shop. I have been selling cloth with my father since I was five years old. This little thing is nothing to worry about. Your little fellows remember the rules and remind me from time to time. Second-rate."

Only then did Xue Yinsong feel relieved and pulled Zhajin aside, and asked him to go quietly to the Kuanshui River to contact the boatman, and see when he could take the boat to Nanmeng.

After breakfast, Xue Yinsong first helped carry a few bags of rice, and then went out to inquire about the market of the donkey cart.

Of course, the cars of the car dealership cannot be hired, and it is not easy to find out the origin of the scattered cars. As soon as Xue Yinsong made up his mind, he immediately wandered around the city.

After negotiating the price of the car and agreeing on a time, Xue Yinsong looked at the time and turned back to the rice shop. He just turned around the alley when he saw many people surrounded by his shop.

Xue Yinsong stepped forward to look, but there were a few people from afar who wanted to buy more rice. The young man pointed to the notice of restricted sales and explained: "Our shopkeeper has a rule that we can't sell more rice, sorry, sorry."

Qu Hongxiang laughed at the side: "I only eat a few dozen catties of rice this month, the guest officer buys so much, but do you want to open a restaurant?"

The man who bought rice replied: "I came from a long distance, and it takes a few days to go back and forth, so I want to buy more. Shopkeeper, please sell it to me."

Qu Hongxiang smiled and said: "The rice in our family is cheap, so many people buy it, but this rice is only so small, if you buy it for one person, then other people will not be able to eat the cheap rice. It’s all about dipping.”

As soon as this was said, the people around all said yes, and some people suggested not to sell it to outsiders, and the man who bought the rice became angry: "I am not an outsider! I am from Wangjiazhuang, and I am only a hundred years away from here. It's only ten miles away!"

Someone next to him knew a little about the geographical location, and immediately shouted: "Wangjiazhuang is in the north of Huaizhou, and our Fuchun County is in the west of Huaizhou. Although they are all in Huaizhou, there is a difference. This rice can't be sold."

The man argued: "They are all from Huaizhou, how can there be any difference?"

Qu Hongxiang smiled and said, "It's not the difference..." A scholar next to him interjected, "Fuchun County is also within the territory of the Celestial Dynasty, and Wangjiazhuang is also within the territory of the Celestial Dynasty. Datong under heaven is a family, and according to me, it should be Sell."

A maid next to him smiled and teased: "That's right, since that's the case, why don't you sell the rice in your hand to him!"

The people next to him applauded, and the scholar blushed and ran away with the cloth bag in the crowd, and the rest of the people naturally shouted that they were not allowed to sell it to outsiders.

Seeing this, Xue Yinsong knew that the opportunity had come. He thought in his heart that he was going to deliver a large amount of rice to Deyang soon, so he might as well take the opportunity to release the supply and avoid Que Hongze's suspicion, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "I am The shopkeeper of this store used to restrict sales mainly because he was afraid that everyone would buy more rice because of cheap rice prices. Since the brother proposed today, the sales restriction will no longer be imposed from today on. Anyone who wants to buy more rice can buy more rice. Buy it! But let’s say it first, if it’s infested with mold, don’t blame the store.”

There was someone waiting to buy rice next to them, and after hearing a cheer, they went home to find cloth bags and silver taels.Seeing him coming, Qu Hongxiang couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "I didn't say it earlier, wait for me to explain for a long time before you come here as an afterthought."

Xue Yinsong replied with a smile: "Without the foreshadowing in front of you, I wouldn't be able to make an afterthought. It is still the credit of the two of you."

Only then did Qu Hongxiang laugh: "Forget that you can talk, well, I don't care about you, buddy go to the back to move the rice, your shopkeeper is trying to exhaust us both today!"

The clerk hurriedly ran to the back warehouse, and came back with a bag in a while: "The shopkeeper, a warehouse is empty. I reckon that this kind of rice can only last for 1-2 days at most. More rice."

Xue Yinsong helped unload the rice and took out the sealed hemp rope: "Okay, I will inform you today, and the storage will not be broken."

Qu Hongxiang fiddled with the money tray for a while, picked out the broken silver, put it in a basket and handed it over: "Brother Xue, you put these away first."

Xue Yinsong took it over and weighed it a few times, and it was quite heavy: "It seems that the business has been pretty good these few days."

The little guy just moved, and he heard the words and replied: "This is still restricted, otherwise our business will be better if there is no restriction, and the door will be squeezed!"

Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door again, and the young man threw down a bag of rice to greet the person: "Guest officer, how much rice do you want?"

The voice was soft and sad, but he said slowly: "I heard that there is no limit to the sale, can I buy more?"

The boy smiled and said, "Okay, how much do you want, guest officer?"

"Let's start with 20 Dan."

"..."

Xue Yinsong raised his waist and saw a lean man in his forties standing outside the counter, with a sallow face and a few goatee beards.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Li of the guild. What brought you here?" Xue Yinsong smiled sweetly, but his tone was really hateful.

Shopkeeper Li also smiled hypocritically and said: "There is no way. If this continues, our Rice and Grain Association will be cornered by Shopkeeper Xue. Today, I paid a special visit to ask Master Xue for a way out."

The shop was originally a pawn shop, and the cabinets were all made to order, and only a small movable door half a person's height was left in the corner for easy access. Xue Yinsong opened the small door and greeted warmly: "Shopkeeper Li, please hurry up." Come on, buddy, get some water!"

Shopkeeper Li looked at the half-person-high door with a twitching face, and said, "Is there no way to go?"

Xue Yinsong pretended to be surprised and replied: "It's okay, but my family members all wash and wash in the backyard. It may be inconvenient for them. .”

This is it again!Shopkeeper Li gritted his teeth and looked at the small door, so he had to close his eyes and duck down, feeling like a dog: This guy will never be forgiven!If there is a chance in the future, he must be punished to death!

Xue Yinsong invited to sit up with a smile on his face, and at the same time handed over the tea that the waiter had just brought. After Li shopkeeper drank it, he spit it out far away with a puff, and stared blankly at Xue Yinsong without saying a word.

Xue Yinsong hurriedly asked: "Is it hot? Is it hot? Oh, shopkeeper Li, you are so thirsty, I should have poured cold water for you earlier."

Shopkeeper Li's face turned blue and then red, and he dropped the tea bowl with a bang: "Drink and drink! What is this!"

Xue Yinsong hurriedly took a sip by himself. There was a smell of vegetable oil in the tea. It should be the water that was boiled before the pot was cleaned. He turned around and scolded the waiter: "How many times have I told you! This pot needs to be cleaned before I leave it. Boil the water! See if the water is drinkable! Fortunately, my family doesn’t raise pigs, and if we do, the tea doesn’t smell like hogwash!”

Shopkeeper Li next to him coughed violently when he heard the words, his face was red and his muscles were swollen, and he almost lost his breath. Xue Yinsong hurriedly comforted him with a good temper: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Li, my family doesn't raise pigs, and at most it's fishy like some cat food. taste."

How could shopkeeper Li have suffered from such idleness, his face turned red like a pig's liver when he heard the words, and he calmed down after a while: "Shopkeeper Xue, shopkeeper Xue Da, let's talk about business, you can't continue to sell this rice, or raise it The price must be supplied to other members of the guild according to the purchase price, otherwise the guild will ask you to leave the city."

After all, the ancient guild was just a non-governmental organization. Xue Yinsong thought to himself that as long as he hugged the little prince's thigh tightly, he would not be afraid, but he said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I have a lot of stocks. If you don't hurry up Sell ​​it for fear of mildew—the shopkeeper Li doesn’t know yet, my rice comes from Jeju, and it’s all flooded rice.” He lowered his voice to show that it was a great secret.

I don't want shopkeeper Li to show no mercy: "I have heard that even the rice from Jeju can't be sold at such a low price in Fuchun County, otherwise how can the local rice be sold? You have to help the local rice merchants Think about it."

Xue Yinsong spread his hands in some embarrassment: "But I paid for the rice. If I don't want to pay a large sum of money now, and besides, the rice was collected by retail households at the beginning, how can I refund it now? Does everyone come to the door to return it?"

Seeing that the other party had fallen into his trap, shopkeeper Li immediately cheered up and asked in a slow voice, "Is that so, how much rice did you collect in total?"

"Not much, just like a hundred thousand dan." Xue Yinsong rubbed his hands anxiously: "It's already on the way to be shipped in one after another. In fact, I don't want to sell it by myself, but... this rice has been soaked in water. I'm afraid you don't want it. But the price is really low, I'll count it as 11 coins for the guild, and I can give you a base price of 10 coins, how about it, is it enough for brothers?"

Shopkeeper Li was so angry that he wanted to give him two slaps just now, but now he was attracted by the profit of this penny, and his eyes lit up immediately: "How much can you give me?"
