Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 195 Deng Wei's Meaning
Outside the west gate of Biancheng County, facing Deng Wei's accusation, Zhang Tie replied with a smile: "Oh, don't I know that there is Uncle Deng?"

"Do you know that I have food here? You, you."

Deng Wei shook his head, and didn't talk too much about this topic, as long as he said it once, it would be a bit offending if he insisted on this topic.

"This time I brought you thirty carts of grain, and each cart was loaded with thirty stones (Song: one stone is 59 catties), a total of nine hundred stones."

"Nine hundred stones!"

Zhang Tie was surprised at first, and then he looked happy. He didn't expect Deng Wei to transport so much food this time.

Nine hundred stones of grain, coupled with systematic food, combined with air-dried meat and horse meat to make porridge, is enough for Biancheng County to survive this winter. As for spring, it has to find another way.

"Uncle Deng, I don't know how much this food is two or one stone?"

Others brought food, of course they had to settle accounts, and others didn't come from strong winds, they all got it through hard work.

There is a saying that the bigger the family business, the more rigorous it must be. Dripping water forms rivers, and water drips through stones. Wealth is accumulated bit by bit, not by strong winds.

Although the armistice has been more than two years now, the national strength of the Yan Kingdom has not yet recovered. Big cities are better, and three hundred to four hundred copper coins can buy a stone of grain, but in some remote places, grain is ridiculously expensive. A stone of grain costs more than [-] copper coins, usually [-] copper coins per stone. In times of famine (when the harvest is low), the price is even higher.

With the current situation in Biancheng County, because of the existence of grocery stores, the price of food is not very high, but it still costs four hundred copper coins a stone.

Facing Zhang Tie's asking price, Deng Wei didn't even think about it, and just waved his hand, "I don't need to talk about money, this time, all the food will be given to you, and you won't be charged a copper. Let the people of the county contribute a little bit."

Deng Wei's approach really surprised Zhang Tie. Four coins and one stone, nine hundred stones, that's 360 silver. No small financial.

Although he knew that Deng Wei did this because he wanted to get closer to him, but no matter what, the Deng family did him a big favor this time.

You know, if you have money, you may not be able to buy so much grain. Those who can have so much grain will not sell so much grain all at once, and usually pile it up. It is a common thing, whether it is in Yan State or other countries, grain stores do this.

"Okay! Uncle Deng is really timely rain! So much food is enough for the people to get through this difficult time. Here, I thank you for the people."

As he said that, Zhang Tie bowed to Deng Wei, so fast that Deng Wei didn't even have time to stop him.

"Okay, okay, let's find a place to put these grains first, don't be hypocritical."

"Ok."

Zhang Tie also knew that Deng Wei came this time in person to go abroad for trade, so he didn't delay much, so he took thirty carriages full of grain into Biancheng County and headed for the warehouse.

At present, in Biancheng County, the only places that can hold so much grain are warehouses.

The remaining carriages stayed in place, and some of the guards had already started to cook. It seemed that they were in a hurry along the way, and the people in the convoy had not had lunch yet.

……

After putting all the [-] shi of grain into the warehouse, Zhang Tie took Deng Wei to his courtyard, and the carriage was naturally driven out of the city by members of the Deng family, staying with the others.

When he got home, Zhang Tie's father, Zhang Sanfeng, was already waiting at home. He was wearing armor, and he seemed to have heard the news and had just come from the barracks.

Ever since the recruits began to take over the city defense, Zhang Tie’s father, Zhang Sanfeng, had been staying with his one hundred recruits often, returning home every day after dark. Because of this incident, Zhang Tie’s father, Zhang Sanfeng Crazy was scolded by Zhang Tie's mother a lot.

"what!"

The moment he saw Zhang Sanmad, Deng Wei made a sound of surprise.

Deng Wei was so surprised, not for any other reason, but because Zhang Sanfeng was actually wearing a suit of armor.

You know, a suit of armor weighs at least twenty or thirty kilograms when worn. Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng's armor is not ordinary at first glance. It is a good thing at first glance. It is made of fine iron and is made of pure iron. It weighs at least five kilograms. Sixty catties.

In Deng Wei's memory, Zhang Sanfeng was a person with disabled meridians, not to mention the fifty or sixty catties of armor, even if it was ten or twenty catties of goods, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't mention it for a long time, so why not surprise Deng Wei.

"Your meridian is not..."

Zhang Sanfeng was also taken aback for a moment, only then realized that he was wearing armor and came, and secretly said "Oops", he didn't know how to answer his question for a while.

But Zhang Tie on the side had already made preparations, and said directly: "My father's meridians, after years of recuperation, have now fully recovered."

Some things will be exposed sooner or later, but now is not the time, if you can hide it for a while, hide it for one more day.

"Hehe, yes. I didn't think of it myself, haha, hahaha!"

Zhang Sanfeng touched his forehead and laughed loudly, but no matter how he looked at it, it was very embarrassing.

"That's it."

Deng Wei nodded, and he didn't want to ask too many questions, but obviously, he didn't really believe Zhang Tie's explanation. From ancient times to the present, he has never heard of a person whose meridian has been abolished, and there are still good people.

"Then congratulations brother, oh, I think back then, the two of us..."

Deng Wei and Zhang Sanfeng sat on the chairs, feeling the past, the two who hadn't seen each other for a long time seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

Zhang Tie served them tea and water, and sat quietly listening to their conversation.

Deng Wei and Zhang Sanfeng played together since they were young, and they naturally had feelings for each other, but with the passage of time, this relationship gradually faded away.

However, man is a strange animal, and the time when their feelings are the deepest is often when they are young and innocent.

The feelings and memories at that time are the most memorable, and only at that time, friendship is the most pure and unforgettable.

Just like people nowadays, when you make friends in middle school or high school, no matter how many years have passed, you will still miss the time you played together.

Of course, it does not mean that other time periods do not make people nostalgic, no friends, but compared to other time periods, there is no youthful and innocent time that is impressive.

After all, at that time, everyone was very simple, without too many restraints, and not affected by the outside world.

As soon as the two chatted, it was as if they had forgotten the time, laughing and talking about the unbearable past.

ps: Ahem, everyone, Xiaodao is shamelessly asking for monthly votes again, even though he knows that he has been... ahem recently.However, today, the monthly ticket is doubled, so I hope everyone will vote for it.

Wang, Wang!Wang!
