Except for Shen Qingshan, who was calm and composed, everyone else in Shangyao Village had sad faces, fearing that they would run out of money and not be able to buy anything. How would they live in the future?

They met another brigade in Shanghe Village.

The other party was led by the team leader himself and bought a lot. However, compared to the proud faces of Gejia Village, everyone in Shanghe Village had sad faces.

If it weren't for the truckloads of food behind me, I would have thought I came back empty-handed.

Shen Qingshan pulled the mule rope and said: "Qin Shu, go and inquire about the situation."

After receiving the order, Qin Shu quickly pushed Li Tian in front and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​let's go over and ask."

Qin Shu and Li Tian rode a mule together.

Qin Shu saw the person approaching and asked with a smile: "Uncle, how much did you buy flour for?"

The other party said with a grimace: "A bag of flour has now gone up to 25."

They talked so hard to negotiate this price, it really hurts my heart and soul.

He is over 50 years old, and this is the first time he has bought such expensive flour. What he is eating is not flour, it is all wasted money!

Li Tian smiled and said: "Then you bought it cheaply. I met people from Gejia Village earlier. They bought a bag for 35 yuan, and they were all happy as if they had found money."

The captain of Shanghe Village said in disbelief: "It can't be possible? Aren't they all related?"

When they came, Qian Duolai, the captain of Huerling, was still calling Ge Genzheng brothers. The two of them were closer than real brothers. Why did Gejiacun buy more expensive than them?

"We just asked and everyone heard it, it was 31 bags."

Li Haisheng and the others laughed mercilessly.

"Yes, you are showing off to us, saying that 30 yuan is a friendly price. If you sell this to others for 51 bags, you may not get it!"

The captain of Shanghe Village touched his bald head and said: "There are still a lot of goods, and I bought a lot. Their captain said the price is cheaper. If there are 51 bags, who can afford it! Even if there is no food now To eat, the little money we have in the village is enough to eat a few bags. If it’s so expensive, it’s better to find other ways to buy other food. Eating bran-thick vegetables can last longer than eating 51 bags.”

Perhaps they felt better after hearing the news about the slaughter of Gejia Village. The captain of Shanghe Village kindly reminded them: "You go quickly, they said they would only sell it for two days."

Qin Shu asked strangely: "Why won't it be sold later? Is it possible that they will be sold out?"

Qin Shu thought to himself, didn't Hu'erling have enough food to be used as firewood?Everyone has enough firewood to burn for two days! ?

According to his idea, there would be enough to use as firewood, but the house would be full of them. If they were sold out so quickly, how much money would have been made?If you don’t have a lot of money, you can burn it as paper, right?

The captain of Shanghe Village shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, the supply and marketing cooperative has been robbed by them. The food is in their hands. They won't sell it. Maybe they keep it for their own village. It's getting late. You guys Go and see if you can buy more, we have to go back to the village, otherwise it will rain again and the money we spent will be wasted."

With that said, he led the team away.

After Shanghe Village left, Li Haisheng and others became more active and quickly urged the team to speed up.

"This Hu'erling is really interesting. We should kill that Gejia Village ruthlessly. When we see people, they look like crowing roosters, and their eyes will go up to the sky."

"After you buy the food, you have to go back and talk to Ge Genzheng, let him know what happened to him when he was taken advantage of, and he also said that he would intercede for us! If you intercede, you will be taken in with him. This kind of It’s not fun to help our village.”

"..."

Several grown men were chattering behind like women.

Qin Shu went over and asked Shen Qingshan, "Brother Qingshan, why didn't they sell it? Is it true that they sold it short?"

Shen Qingshan glanced at Qin Shu.

"Ask me, how do I know that I am not the roundworm in Huerling's belly?"

The choked Qin Shu had a fierce look on his face.

"You knew it, but you just refused to tell me!"

Shen Qingshan glanced at him sideways and said, "You know why, but you still ask me. Do you want to find out for yourself?"

Qin Shu: "..."

Shen Qingshan continued: "Didn't you tell Niannian that you have seen the world outside in the past six months and learned a lot of things? Why didn't Huerling sell it? You don't know why?"

Speaking of this, Qin Shu's face turned red with excitement.

"You, why did you eavesdrop on us!"

"You come to our house to find my sister and talk quietly, but you don't want me as a brother to listen. If you say something that is unacceptable to my sister, how can I rest assured if I don't listen?"

Qin Shu was so angry that he almost fell off the mule.

Li Tian helped him.

"Qingshan, I think Qin Shu is a very honest kid. He and Niannian grew up together. If Niannian wants to be let go in the future, I think Qin Shu will be good."

Qin Shu hugged Li Tian's waist excitedly, "Uncle, you are my biological uncle!"

"Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road!"

Shen Qingshan glanced at Qin Shu disdainfully.

If you want to marry his sister, there is no way!

……

As for why Huerling didn't continue selling, it was entirely because he planned to make more dirty money.

Let some of the food go out now to relieve people's worries. When more people need food, the food can be sold at a higher price.

Otherwise, if you keep selling, you will probably lose your money later.

Hu'erling is indeed specialized in doing this. This experience is indeed rich. He can not only seize the opportunity, but also control people's hearts.

After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the col where the Huerling Brigade was located.

I have to say that the village of Huerling really doesn't look like a village where people make a lot of money by buying and selling. With its shabby houses and tiled roofs, some people would have thought it was a poor village.

If he hadn't known this, he might have thought that Huerling needed help.

Although he has enough money to buy out the supply and marketing cooperative, he is actually willing to live in these shabby houses.

The warehouse of Huerling Brigade may be a warehouse.

A house made of mud bricks, with black tiles on the roof instead of thatch, was crowded with people from various brigades who came to buy food, bargaining with the captain of Huerling.

Qian Duolai's attitude was very tough and arrogant. When Shen Qingshan and the others entered, they heard their people yelling loudly...

"If it's too expensive, don't buy it! Which brigade is willing to sell grain now?! Do you understand that we are doing a good deed?!"

Everyone knows that this is to make shady money to enrich the country, but the people in Huerling keep saying that this is a good thing...

So shameless, those who were scolded had to apologize.

Follow them and say, "I am doing good deeds to accumulate merit" or something like that, and then humbly beg for a cheaper price.

Even if it is 25 per bag, many villages cannot afford such a price. They don’t care about face for food. If it can be cheaper by saying something nice, what is face?The key is to provide food for the people in the village.

Others in Huerling were watching.

Seeing these people bargaining in low tones, with smiles on their faces, it was as if they were watching people acting in a big show, with no sympathy at all in their eyes.

Some old farmers knelt down to beg, and they looked askance at these people and laughed.

The people of Huerling were not like this at first.

However, the terrain of Huerling has no advantage. It is impossible to grow crops here. The only way to make a living is to grow wood. But in this day and age, no one needs so much wood. If they want wood, their own village has it in the mountains. Huerling asked the nearby villages for help. I also applied to the government for assistance, but all efforts were in vain.

What these people are doing now is what they have done in order to make a living. They have begged other people, hoping that other brigades would accept them or divide some unwanted wasteland for them to give the village a way to survive, but no one was willing.

Some people in the village couldn't stand the poor life anymore, so they took the risk and went out to look for business opportunities, and finally fell into a life of speculation.

With the first one making money, it led to the second, third, fourth... until almost the entire village relied on this for a living.

Why not build new houses, that is, let these houses remind them of what the poor days were like in the past, and they cannot forget the suffering they suffered in the past just for the sake of temporary glory.
