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

As soon as Que Hongze let go, the rest of the matter would be easy to deal with. Xue Yinsong was excitedly planning to go back to the countryside last night, and in a blink of an eye he was preoccupied with transporting food.

Qiangzi was arranged to find the donkey cart and check the pier immediately, and Zha Jin also rode a fast horse to Nanmeng to prepare to meet him. Xue Yinsong repeatedly imagined various possible problems and countermeasures, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

To be on the safe side, he made another trip to Liangdao Datai, and went over the plan with Que Hongze and the master.

Each ship to Nanmeng can transport [-] dans of grain, one ship every three days, and a full [-] tans can be transported in one month, which can not only alleviate the food shortage, but also lower the price of food.

The master was scheming. In order to prevent the He family from taking the low-priced rice to Deyang, he proposed to delay the delivery time. It is best to wait until the rice here is delivered to Nanmeng before delivery.

This is naturally the safest way, Xue Yinsong immediately agreed to ask for a few days with shopkeeper Li, saying that something happened on the way and the trip was delayed.

But a new problem came soon. Xue Yinsong was afraid that the He family had already set up a stronghold in Deyang, so what if they sat on the ground and harvested rice?With the strength of the He family, it would not be a problem to collect 20 or [-] loads. It would be a big joke if they worked so hard to send rice to the He family in the end.

After all, the master is an old fish spirit, and he thought of a solution in a blink of an eye: "It's Mr. Xue's old method - limit sales, each person can only buy 10 liters at a time."

Xue Yinsong thought for a while and said: "This method is also possible, but it is a little troublesome for the guys." The master smiled and said: "Actually, this method is not always effective, but we can supply as much as [-] dan in the future. Not too possible."

Xue Yinsong had no choice but to grit his teeth and comfort himself that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain.

After lunch, he rushed to the city, drafted his speech all the way to Shopkeeper Li's shop.

Shopkeeper Li's rice shop also opened in Changqiao Lane, but it was at the end of the street. Xue Yinsong went up to ask the servants to inform him, and he was ushered into the back hall after a while.

"Oh, brother Xue, why are you here?" Shopkeeper Li smiled and said, "But the rice has arrived? I have all the money here, and I'm just waiting for your rice."

Xue Yinsong recounted the reason he had thought up: "It may take a few days to refuse, and there is no other way."

Shopkeeper Li stared at him closely, before smiling for a moment and said, "Brother, it hurts to give [-] yuan at once? Sooner or later, you will give it. You will not be able to give birth to cubs if you keep covering for a few days."

Xue Yinsong pretended to be reluctant and smiled and said: "It would be a lie to say that there is no heartache, but the time was delayed on the way here, so please take care of shopkeeper Li."

Shopkeeper Li saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and besides, the quantity and price agreed at that time had not changed, so he smiled and said: "Then I will wait for news from my brother, my place has been vacated, which is very convenient."

Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "What you promised will definitely be done, don't worry."

"By the way, where did you get this rice from?" Shopkeeper Li pretended to glance at him inadvertently, and asked lightly: "Chairman He even sent people to go to the three prefectures of Qi, Jiao and Ji. After a trip, I couldn’t find such cheap rice as Brother Xue.”

Xue Yinsong's heart shivered, knowing that the meat was coming, he pretended to be surprised and replied: "It's the rice from Jeju, this rice is from a certain rice shop, and it was sold at a reduced price because it was flooded. Eat all the stock, so it's so cheap."

Shopkeeper Li didn’t care much about where he came from. For him, the price of 10 Wen was very suitable. Since he had eaten eggs, why should he care about the appearance of the hen: “Chairman He thinks that [-] dan is too little, and there are too many people in the guild. , I’m afraid that the distribution will be uneven.”

Xue Yinsong immediately waved his hands and said, "Don't look at me, don't look at me, I really have no rice."

Shopkeeper Li laughed loudly and said: "Drink tea and drink tea. Anyway, President He sent someone to go. If there is cheap rice, I will definitely find some. I said Brother Xue is a good idea. Why did you think of going to the disaster area to collect rice?" What about rice? Rice in the disaster area is usually expensive, and we still have to sell rice to the disaster area, but you really have it.”

Xue Yinsong rubbed his nose and showed a bit of complacency: "I'm lucky. This rice merchant was acquainted before. There is no old man in the family and he wants to help the coffin back to his hometown. I think they have made up their mind to go and funded some money." In order to thank me, his family said that there is still some rice in the country, because it is flooded and I am afraid that it cannot be sold. If I want to, I will take all of them. When I arrived, I found that except for a small part of the rice, most of them were rice. Alright, I’ll take it away and bring it back.”

Shopkeeper Li saw him drooling, and thought to himself, you are an idiot, it would take time and money to bring it back, it would be better to sell it directly in Jeju, and the profit of reselling it to the disaster area is much higher than pulling it back, but he smiled and said: "Luck!" , It really is luck, we don't have such luck, it really is brother Xue who makes money."

The two people praised each other in the bridal sedan chair, and Xue Yinsong took a lot of effort before leaving.

The boy and Qu Hongxiang were busy, Qu Hongxiang was crackling his abacus while ordering the boy to pack the rice, while Gong Er had just returned from delivering the rice, and was standing at the door drinking water.

"Brother Xue is here," Qu Hongxiang looked up and saw him, opened the small door by the counter with a smile and said, "It happens to be tea, can I pour you a bowl?"

Xue Yinsong said: "You are busy, I will take care of it myself."

Qu Hongxiang flicked the beads of the abacus, turned around and ordered: "10 liters in the linen bag." Then he took the money, counted it and threw it into the cash box: "You go to the small gate to pick up the rice, and the guy will take it out for you right away. Next! How much rice does the guest officer want to buy?"

Xue Yinsong saw that they were busy in an orderly manner, and Qu Hongxiang's presiding officer was also in an orderly manner, so he went to the backyard in relief.He ran all morning, his back was wet, and he was about to change into clothes.

"Are you back?" Little Xiucai was sitting in the backyard, seeing him coming in, he quickly put down his book and stood up, "How did the discussion go?"

Xue Yinsong briefly explained the matter: "Stay safe for the time being, as long as the food is transported to Nanmeng, they will be safe. Even if they want to transport it to Deyang, it will always be later than us in terms of time."

Xiao Xiucai nodded: "It's true, but have you contacted the car and boat?" Xue Yinsong took off his clothes and threw it beside the bed, and said with a smile: "You never cared about these things, and now you are interested in asking?"

The little scholar sighed and said: "Isn't this a flurry of idleness? Every day is also very boring. Why don't you let me go and play with you?"

Xue Yinsong buckled up his clothes and walked out the door. Seeing his gloomy face, he comforted him: "I'll accompany you out for a walk around after I'm done with this work. You don't want to go to Deyang, where it was flooded, so I'm afraid there will be a plague. "

The scholar sat down with his mouth curled up, picked up the book and continued to read.

Xue Yinsong was about to say a few more words of relief, when he saw the little boy stumbling in and shouting: "The shopkeeper! The shopkeeper! Quick! Quick! Something happened to Qu (Jie)!"

Xue Yinsong hurriedly grabbed him with his backhand and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man's face was horrified: "She suddenly rushed into the street and beat and scolded a person. His servant is now relentless and wants to drag her to the government!" This troublemaker!Xue Yinsong's expression sank and he rushed to the front, seeing that the street was already crowded, he pushed aside the crowd and squeezed in.

Qu Hongxiang cried with tears all over her face, and tightly grabbed the blue-shirted scholar's sleeves and the hem of his robe, the scholar's face turned red and he couldn't leave, while the servant next to him was cursing: "Where did you come from, crazy woman! Do you want to let go, what's wrong with you woman! I told you that we don't know you! You've got the wrong person!"

Qu Hongxiang was crying and furious: "Li Mingshi! You don't know me? You are an enemy who has been paid a thousand dollars, what are you trying to say!"

The young man sneered and said, "Don't think that you can do anything wrong if you find out my son's name. I'll tell you to let go quickly, or I'll drag you to see an official!"

Xue Yinsong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qu Hongxiang's arm, shouting in a low voice: "What kind of trouble is there in the street, let me go quickly!"

Seeing him coming, Qu Hongxiang cried even harder: "Brother Xue, you have to make the decision for me, I..." Before finishing a sentence, she was forced to loosen her clothes, and had to cast a bitter look at the other party: "You If you dare to betray me, even if I'm a ghost, I won't spare you!"

When Li Ming saw someone coming forward, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you very much, it's really this little (Jie) who admitted the wrong person, so he doesn't want to be a small student."

Xue Yinsong looked at him carefully, and saw that his face was flushed, his eyes wandered and he didn't dare to look at others, he immediately understood that this man had a ghost, and said with a smile: "Where does the young master live?"

"He lives in Qilipu, thirty miles south of the city!"

Li Mingshi's face turned purple after hearing this, and he replied in a nasty way: "I live at the end of the long bridge alley, and my father is the owner of Li Ji Rice Shop."

Xue Yinsong was taken aback, and immediately smiled and said: "So it's Mr. Li. I just came out of your house. I'm the shopkeeper of Xueji Rice Shop, and I'm walking with your father."

Li Mingshi didn't recognize him at all, but hurriedly said in order to get away: "It turned out to be shopkeeper Xue. It's a pleasure to meet you. This... this little (Jie) recognized the wrong person, I..."

"Misunderstanding, it turned out to be a misunderstanding," Xue Yinsong laughed loudly, and pulled Qu Hongxiang behind him: "Young master, please go ahead."

The boy helped Li Ming and was about to leave, but Qu Hongxiang was about to protest, but Xue Yinsong dragged her into the shop by the arm.

"What are you doing!" Qu Hongxiang went into a rage as soon as she entered the door, and now the tears have stopped, the grievances have disappeared, and now only anger is left in her heart: "This heartbroken man, I finally found him to see him, why are you so angry? Won't you help me?"

"Sit down and drink some water, and then tell me the story slowly." Xue Yinsong said lightly, and raised his chin to signal her to sit down.

Qu Hongxiang sat down and said: "My family is in Qinchuan City, and my family relies on my father to sell cloth for a living. My mother was very ill at the time, so my father sold the cloth shop to treat my mother's illness. In the end, he left without money. I had to rely on me to sing a few ditties in the teahouse to make ends meet. Once I was bullied in the teahouse, and Li Mingshi helped me out. Later, he often came to the teahouse and gave him a lot of money. Qu, also from a serious family, saw him elegant and well-read, and intended to entrust him for life. At that time, we made an oath for the Xiangshan League and gave each other jade pendants, but now he turned his face and refused..."

Xue Yinsong understood that this was nothing more than an ordinary case of Chen Shimei: "Are you just picking up earth for incense? Is there... um... bridal chamber or something?"

Qu Hongxiang was shocked and angry: "Who do you think I am! Although I, Qu Hongxiang, am not a woman from a wealthy family, I am also someone who has read the biography of a martyr, so it is against the world to just pick up soil for incense and promise each other for life. How dare you... do other things that are offensive to public morals!"
