Farming in troubled times: Anyone who stops me from getting rich will die!

Putting apples in baskets sells better. Those wealthy families occasionally buy one or two more baskets when they see the beautifully packaged apples.

There was nothing to do at Wang Zheng's wharf, so Li Yao and Su decided to hire his ox cart after discussion.

Although she could go to Zhendong to take out the apples again, she couldn't guarantee that someone would find out where they came from, so she insisted on transporting them out from Qingshan Village every day.

Even if someone inquires, they have a reason to deal with it.

Then buy some food at the grain store every day. People in Qingshan Village also knew that the fourth family had a business.

However, everyone thought Su was selling baskets made by Li Laosi. Most people were relieved to see that his family was making a living.

Of course, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chen were still cursing each other, but they just didn't dare to come to the door anymore.

On this day, Mrs. Su finished buying grain and walked out of the grain store with a frown on her face.

"Yao'er, the polished rice has grown to thirty cents per catty. My mother was reluctant to buy it. She only bought a bag of broken rice, but the broken rice has also grown to twenty cents per catty."

Li Yao had just finished eating a candied haws of sugar haws and made a quick decision. "Mom, exchange all the money you have on you for food. Don't delay."

When she was sitting on the bullock cart eating candied haws, she saw that there were obviously fewer people in the town.

The rest of the people were all in a hurry and looking disgraced. As if something is on his mind.

There are only a few street vendors left.

The whole description can be described in two words, depression!

Mrs. Su touched her money pocket, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Mom, go in and buy some more. Please wait a moment."

Wang Zheng touched the corner of his clothes and looked at the little one, "Do you think uncle should also prepare more food?"

He must have been influenced by these two mothers and daughters, why did he feel like a disaster was imminent.

But you can’t tell why?

Could it be that after being with a woman for a long time, the only problem is getting enough to eat?

"Uncle is so smart. Today it is thirty cents per catty, and tomorrow it may be forty cents per catty. If the two acres of land at my uncle's house have a good harvest this year, there is no need to stock up."

After Wang Zheng heard this, he rushed straight into the grain store. The little girl said nonsense. There was smoke in the fields this year, and his two acres of land could not produce half a catty of grain.

He doesn't want to starve to death yet!

On my return journey today, I packed a whole cart full of grain, more than half of which was hoarded by Wang Zheng. He had all his belongings with him and bought them all.

Later, he was very grateful for his wise decision. Because the next day, the sky was in chaos!

"Oh, the fourth family bought so much food again, can they finish it?"

Su Shi smiled and did not answer.

"Brown rice costs eighteen cents per pound. If you don't buy it, you'll eat shit." Wang Zheng shouted to everyone.

"How easy is it to sell Laosi's bamboo baskets? You take a cart with them every day and exchange them for a cart of grain. I'll ask the old man to make some for sale tomorrow."

"Ms. Wu, I advise you not to think too much. I bought this grain. I don't have any income from the fields. I don't want to starve to death."

Wang Zheng pointed to the grain in the car boldly, "One bag is only enough for me to eat for a few days."

Everyone knows Wang Zheng's appetite and does not suspect fraud.

"Jean, I have to take them to a place where others can't find them. Who knows if anyone will be jealous."

Wang Zheng flicked his whip, and the cow ran away with a whirring sound.

Not long after, the entire Qingshan Village knew that Wang Zheng had bought grain, and also knew that the price of grain in the town had risen outrageously.

Many bright-minded people went to the town at night to buy some.

Old Man Li's house has finally been repaired with two rooms, and it can temporarily accommodate people.

At this moment, he was lying in the yard enjoying the cool air when he heard Old Mrs. Li rushing in from outside with surprise.

"Old man, it's not good!"

Old Man Li frowned in disgust, still rocking the recliner with his eyes slightly closed.

"Old man," Mrs. Li shook him, "I heard that the price of food has risen sharply. How about our food?"

She was excited not because she was worried about running out of food, but because the Li family had saved three thousand kilograms of food and finally waited for the price increase.

Old Man Li was cunning and dug a cellar under their main house, where all the food was stored.

The last time his house was burned down, he was angry, but since it didn't affect the things in the cellar, he didn't pursue it to the end.

In fact, it was not that he had never suspected Su, but he felt that Chen was more suspicious.

After all, Mrs. Chen's work was messy, and it was most likely that she left sparks in the stove, which caused the house to burn down.

"Old man, I heard that the price of polished rice has risen to thirty cents per catty. The rice we have saved can produce at least two thousand catties. We are rich!"

Mrs. Li suppressed her voice, but she couldn't suppress the joy on her face.

"Shut up!" Old Man Li shouted.

"I have to think about it," Old Man Li leaned on the recliner and thought for a while, "I will go to town to discuss it with the boss early tomorrow morning."

"What are we still discussing? Who knows whether the price will be reduced in the future." Mrs. Li was very anxious, this was a lot of money.

"A woman's opinion!" Old Man Li scolded mercilessly, "What do you know? I'll go to the town to see what's going on."

"Don't let the third daughter-in-law know about the food storage. She is a talker."

If it doesn't rain, there will be no harvest in the fields this year, and grain prices will definitely rise.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. It was too early to sell now. He would sell it when it reached fifty cents per catty.

After grinding the rice, the remaining broken rice and brown rice will be eaten by the family.

If Lao Wu passes the Tongsheng Examination this year, he will be able to take the Scholarship Examination, and then take part in the Imperial Examination. It will be just right to have this money.

Old Man Li made up his mind and let Old Woman Li do her work in a hurry.

"Hmph, you old man wants to hide it from me!" Mrs. Chen muttered softly.

"Dad, Mom, it's time to eat!" She walked out of the kitchen with a smile.

Old Man Li glared at Old Woman Li before standing up. Seeing that Mrs. Chen didn't look like what she heard, she felt relieved.

Li Laosi's body has improved a lot, and the wounds on his legs have scabbed.

After dinner, the family sat outside the house and took care of the bamboo shoots.

Although it is hot, the family is together, warm and comfortable.

Li Yao was often ostracized by his family because of his young age and was not allowed to work.

So from time to time I take out a few popsicles or a big watermelon.

It's quiet at the foot of the mountain. As long as you look at the path in front of you from a distance, you can see people coming without being noticed.

I just finished eating a popsicle alone and felt so cold all over. I saw someone riding a horse from a distance.

"It's Brother Zhu Wu!"

Li Laosi looked at him dreamily. He could also ride a horse, but his leg injury was not healed yet.

"Fourth!"

Zhu Wu jumped off his horse and dragged down two bags of grain from his horse.

"The price of food outside has really skyrocketed. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back." After that, he carried the food into the house.

"Brother Wu, drink a bowl of cold water first!" Mrs. Su poured a bowl of water from the kitchen.

Zhu Wu drank it all in one gulp, "It's so cool!"

The cold water at home is free, and Li Yao often throws a few pieces of ice in it, so it's cooler.

"I paid a few taels of silver from the escort agency. I originally wanted to give it to you, but then I thought about it and just bought some grain."

Zhu Wu was very carefree and sat down next to Mr. Li.

His eyebrows are dark.

"Brother Wu, are you tired from this escort trip?" Li Laosi asked with concern.

"Ji Ze's guess is good. I went to Ancheng this time and heard some news."

Zhu Wu pursed his lips, "Do you know whose fiefdom belongs to Ancheng?"
