Parents are busy farming

When Li Song heard this, he also dropped the smile on his face.

Said: "Miss, do you want to directly hire a caravan to transport the food back, or do you just hire a boat and we can take people there ourselves? Have you considered the safety issues on this road?"

One advantage of hiring a large caravan is that they are responsible for safety issues and you don’t need to worry about it.

But the expense involved was huge, which already violated Ye Zifen's original intention of going to the south to purchase grain.

Besides, there are still people staying in the caravan this time, and they have nothing to do at home. Why not go with them, open up waterways, and give the children some exercise.

So Ye Zifen said: "Let's take people there ourselves. Not all the people from the voyage caravan will go to the beach this time, but will take some people from the village. In addition, there are some people in the village who can follow you. In total, you can There are more than thirty people, and they all know how to row, you just need to find a boat, there should be no problem with safety, and hire two more boats.”

It's a trip anyway, so why not hire a few more ships to go there so that you can get more food back.

Li Song felt much more at ease when he heard that people from the voyage caravan were following him, but he knew that he had to coordinate all arrangements for this trip south and did not dare to be careless.

"We need to bring some cargo with us when we set out this time. It would be a pity to go there with an empty ship."

Ye Zifen hadn't thought about this yet, "What do you want to bring there?"

"A few days ago, a friend of mine collected some peanuts. But his family had some problems and needed money urgently. It was too late to get the goods to the south and come back. He is looking for buyers in the county these days. . Peanuts are quite profitable and easy to preserve, how about that?”

Li Song's friend was also considered a wealthy man. The two had had business contacts before. The other party knew that Li Song had a wide network of contacts in the county, so he wanted to ask him to find more buyers.

But to be honest, it would cost at least several thousand taels of silver to get so many peanuts, and few families could eat them alone.

Even if they eat it, they can't sell it here.

Ye Zifen nodded, "This can be considered an opportunity. How much will it cost?"

She did a little calculation and found that if the peanuts were sold, the money earned and the freight for this harvest should be able to offset each other.

It was a trip anyway, so why didn’t she take this order?

As soon as Li Song heard Ye Zifen's agreement, he quickly said: "I'm going to find someone to come over and talk about it. If the lady wants them all, the price will probably be lower."

Ye Zifen rolled his eyes and said, "Can we borrow his boat?"

Li Song also laughed when he heard this, "Since his family is in an emergency and the boat shouldn't be needed, it shouldn't be a big problem if we borrow it."

Ye Zifen thought for a while and said, "Go and talk to him, negotiate the price of peanuts and borrow the boat. If he agrees, you can go directly to Lujiacun to get the banknotes."

This is Ye Zifen. Since Li Song is fully responsible for this matter, then he must trust the other party completely.

Li Song groped back and forth with his hands on the table, thinking at what price he would get all these peanuts.

As a friend, he would naturally not try too hard to lower the price, but as a businessman, he would always make some money.

"How about Shopkeeper Lu coming with me?" Li Song invited Lu Zili.

During negotiations, one person always plays the good role and the other person plays the bad role. Lu Zili was a little hesitant.

He didn't know Ye Zifen's attitude, so he turned around and looked over.

Ye Zifen said to Lu Zili: "Then you and shopkeeper Li can go there together. I just have something to go home with!"

Lu Zili nodded.

After arranging these things, Ye Zifen returned home peacefully.

She had to go home and arrange for the caravan to follow the ship. Fortunately, there was Ye Zining.

When she returned to the courtyard, she went directly to her cousin.

"It's almost time to collect grain from the south. I plan to send people over to get it back. We need some people. Knowing your knowledge of the children in the village, you can select twenty or so people this time!"

Ye Zining was happy. The people he had chosen earlier were going to the beach with the caravan. Others were a little depressed. If they could go out this time, they would not be mentally unbalanced.

"Okay, I'll go find them right now. The teams have already been divided. Now just go and notify them."

Everyone has a chance, and he doesn't have to feel wronged by the remaining children.

To be honest, although they can tell who is good and who is bad during exercise, their brains and daily dealings with others are very good.

Each has his or her own strengths, and he felt very uncomfortable letting this one go and not letting that one go.

There are opportunities at this time, and no one is afraid of missing anything.

When he was selecting the children a few days ago, the remaining children began to feel a little disappointed, and their moods were not very high these days.

Moreover, there are still a few children on both sides who need to adjust. It is their first time going south and they don’t know what will happen on the way, so it is better to let the children who are better trained go.

As for the others who follow the caravan, they are all familiar with the route and there should be no problems.

No matter what Ye Zining arranged, Zi Zifen had left the matter to Ye Zining, so she began to prepare the things she would need to leave for Feng County in a few days.

As soon as they entered the house, Ye Yefei rushed over and said: "The heirloom came to look for you today. If he didn't find anyone, he asked you to wait for him tomorrow."

"Do you know what the fourth cousin wants from me?" Ye Zifen asked doubtfully.

If her second and third cousins ​​came to find her, she would be able to guess a little bit. But the fourth cousin came to find her, but she didn't know what his real purpose was?

Ye Zifei waved her hand and said, "He didn't say anything, but he was a little anxious."

Since Zhi Fei didn't know, Zhi Fen didn't intend to ask too much, but it was obvious that Zhi Fei didn't come here just to talk about this matter.

I saw her moving around in her seat, looking like she was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Zifei has a relatively direct character, and it is rare to see her expression like this.

But Ye Zifen had an idea in his mind.

"Then what...the mother-in-law over there came to call me today and said that mother wanted to see me for something. After I went there, she told me something."

Ye Zifen raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is it about that person?"

Ye Zifei said nothing, but carefully looked at the expression on Ye Zifen's face.

"You don't have to worry about how you got along with her in the past and how you will get along with her in the future. You don't need to get too involved in the affairs between her and me."

This is Ye Zifen's attitude.

In fact, Wang Chuanren had reminded Zhi Fei before that she should not pay too much attention to it, but Zhi Fei's heart was always biased towards Zhi Fei.
