The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 286: Kanshu Harvest

  Chapter 286 Guanzhou Harvest

  The land in Guanzhou is planted one season a year.

  Most of the grain on Daji was harvested last year, including rice, sorghum, soybeans...

  The newly felled wheat also appeared sporadically.

  Although the imperial court had already started to promote corn planting, Guanzhou did not accept it very well.

  Because corn is affected by the weather, in the colder Guanzhou, the yield is far lower than in Dafu in the south.

  But this year is an exception. This year, there is a severe drought in Qishan and other big prefectures, and the heat is unbearable, but for Guanzhou, it is a rare good weather.

  The surface temperature is higher than in previous years, and all crops are ushering in unprecedented growth.

  The old farmers who have accumulated many years have judged early that this year is a prosperous year.

  When sowing in spring, you can plant as many fields as you can.

  Although it is not yet the official opening day, it can be seen from the earliest mature wheat harvest that this year will definitely have a bumper harvest.

   Li Xuemei's three mothers went shopping all the way, and listened to the conversation on the Daji.

  Almost everyone is talking about this year's harvest, and everyone's face is filled with the joy of the upcoming harvest.

  Yan Yu said happily: "Mother, this year's harvest is bumper, so we can collect grain nearby, even if it's a little short, it's not too bad, and then we can buy it from other places."

   "Well! Tell your father to go back and run around the surrounding villages more, let the wind go out, after the autumn harvest, they pay the grain, and if they want to sell the rest, they will come to us." Li Xuemei was also happy to hear that.

   "You don't need to run too much, hey, when uncle and the others go to the countryside to collect taxes, just let dad go with them."

  Yan Yu winked, making Li Xuemei amused.

   "This is your uncle's reputation? I'm not afraid of other people's gossip." Li Xuemei said angrily.

Yan Yu yelled that she was wronged, and turned her head to pull the elder sister's arm and shook it: "Elder sister, do you think we can only touch it? We pay a lot of money, which must be more than what the grain shop collects. Besides, We don’t buy or sell by force, so we just go and say hello, whether we want to sell it, how much we want to sell, it’s all up to us, whoever can gossip about our family, we’ll take care of it wherever we go.”

Da Ya nodded very positively: "Xiao Er is right, Auntie, we want to buy grain, if they want to sell it, we will give you a good price, which is better than selling to those grain merchants, they are black-hearted, and they will suppress it every time." Quite a few, our family has also suffered in previous years!"

  Li Xuemei shut up. When it came to past years, they lacked confidence, had no memory, and had no right to speak.

  But from Da Ya’s words, it can be judged that history is always surprisingly similar. Whether it is in the book or not, there are always profiteers squeezing the hard-earned money of the common people.

  The three of them bought a lot along the way, and met many folks from the same village.

   It’s all an idea, buy as much as you can.

  People from Xiao'an Village raided Daji, prospering the economy of the whole market.

  They either use copper plates or broken silver, and their purchasing power is amazing.

  Many villages regret not bringing more because they sold out what they brought.

  The copper coins in the pocket are bumping around, and I am in a good mood. I am not willing to spend on weekdays. I always buy some household things for the big market once a month, and try something new by the way.

  The food stalls in Xiao'an Village are getting more and more people.

   Waiting for the three of Li Xuemei to return to the place where they set up a stall in the village with a full harvest.

  Surprised to find that Yan Laoer's grilled fish on slate has already exceeded the supply.

   Braised fish tofu is slow to come out of the pot, and it is always snatched away when it is cooked.

  Li Xuemei and Da Ya went to collect things, while Yan Yu stood beside Liang Fengnian, who was collecting money.

  Their braised egg business is gone.

  Tofu was monopolized, and all the eggs received were marinated into large and small stomachs. Although the team looking for quail eggs had some gains, they couldn't stand the quail eggs. The quail eggs were too small, and they sold out after a while.

  The lady selling tofu brought two more plates of tofu.

   Seeing Yan Yu's eyes light up.

"It's called Yan Xiaoer, but I'm waiting for you. Your father told you to collect these two boards of tofu, and you have to take them back to share. The board will be collected when I deliver the tofu to your house on the morning of the 15th. Can you help me?" Let me remind you, tell your father to put it away."

   "Did my father order tofu? How much did he order?" Yan Yu was not surprised at all. On the 15th day, the village will hold a banquet. This tofu is a good thing. It can make too many delicacies. How could her father let it go.

   "Three boards of tofu, two barrels of tofu brains, two barrels of porridge, and dried tofu... Oops, as expected of a scholar's family, it's a big deal!" The tofu lady laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

   Except for Daji, her family has never sold so much tofu.

   There is also that berry, except for drinking at home, no one really buys it specifically.

   These two barrels of pulp are purely for nothing, so how can we not make people happy.

   "In our village, there will be a banquet on the 15th." Yan Yu explained, making people misunderstand that the Yan family in Xiao'an Village can make it so bad.

   "I know, I know, I heard from Mrs. Cui of your village that my husband's family and Master Lu are from the same village. If you want to eat tofu in the future, just come to my house."

  The Tofu Lady is also one of the new ladies Cui Niangzi met.

   "I heard from Mrs. Cui that you are the second in your family. The one who sells grilled fish is your father, and the one who sells steamed buns is your mother. Then the person next to you just now...isn't Yan Xiucai's eldest daughter?"

  The tofu lady cleared up the relationship, and her eyes lit up.

   The eyes that looked at Da Ya were as scorching as a light bulb.

  Yan Yu subconsciously blocked her gaze.

   "Auntie, did my father settle the money?"

"How can I not give you money? The lady who can't speak is married." She couldn't help but roll her eyes around the big girl, and asked her in a low voice: "Xiao Er, tell your aunt, your eldest sister Is there anyone who doesn't?"

  Yan Yu is tight-lipped: "The elder sister's marriage is naturally checked by the uncle, I don't know."

  The tofu lady showed a little unwillingness, and muttered: "Tell me what's the matter, if you don't make a decision, maybe I can introduce a good one to your big sister."

  Yan Yu casually found an excuse to dismiss the tofu lady.

  Miss Cui walked over in a hurry.

   "Xiao Er, what did the tofu seller tell you? Did he ask about Da Ya? Tell Gu, I just looked at her wrongly."

  Yan Yu was very able to distinguish between the inside and the outside, and immediately said: "No, please ask me if the elder sister has anyone else, I said I don't know, my uncle has the final say."

Mrs. Cui praised: "That's right! That's it, these old women are thinking about other people's marriage every day, and if they can introduce a lot of people who are amazingly effervescent, it's okay to talk about it, it's all about their mother's family. The nephew and nephew of the in-law's family."

Mrs. Cui said angrily: "Bah! How can you think so much? Our family is blinded to see them! They are all exhausted digging in the soil. We can't find such a person. No matter how bad we are, we must be a landlord. If there is a long-term worker at home, then you will not be tired and live comfortably."

  Yan Yu: …

  Gu, you can mention this request to my uncle to see if he agrees? !

   It will be sent as soon as it is updated~

   Before 0 o'clock on the second watch~

   Vote for those who have votes, and for those who don’t, let’s make a reservation for next month, hehehe~! (*▽*)

   This month, my body is very weak, and it may be due to being suffocated at home. It feels much better to go out and let the wind go~

   Try to work hard next month and pay off the debt~

   What is owed is not chapters, but love from relatives!

   Escape, the code word goes.
