Shelter in the pastoral

Jiao Wen was dealt with, and the common people in the entire county were like Chinese New Year.

In the past, Jiao Wen's group had their nostrils up in the air, so don't overdo things. The people dared not speak out, for fear of being resented.

Now I can never get tired of watching the drama of the last downfall of the vicious businessman. Every time I see it, I will applaud crazily.

"I have a relative who works as a maid in Jiao's house. I heard that people in Jiao's family got angry recently. The old man in Jiaocheng even broke his favorite jade ring finger."

"Deserving it."

"Once a villain like Jiao Cheng gets angry, I'm afraid it will be bad for our county magistrate."

As soon as the news came out, everyone frowned: "That's not allowed." The Jiao family has been domineering in the county for so many years, and the common people are angry with him!Finally, when good officials came to plead for the people, they just wanted to hold back and play tricks. Isn't this bullying?

"We can't let them go to bully the magistrate."

"If the magistrate of the county falls, how can we live a good life?"

When the officials in the county government heard this, they couldn't help but feel that the magistrate is so powerful, and he successfully won the hearts of the people by dealing with the Jiao family's minions.

In fact, they also admire Fang Shujing from the bottom of their hearts. He is so knowledgeable at such a young age, and he still has courage and strategy. After he came, the brothers also wanted to change their way of life!

The housekeeper of Jiaocheng is very busy now. When he woke up in the morning, he saw a lot of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the door of his grain store. Who knows who did it?

These changes came after the county magistrate came. If it was before, how would the common people dare?It's not that the magistrate of the county gave them courage, good guy, now all opera singers dare to sing opera to satirize them.He hated so much that his teeth were itchy, and he just told everyone to close the grain store for a few days and then he would be honest. He just wanted to let everyone know that they had to buy their rations from him, and if they refused to be honest, they would kill themselves.

These troublemakers are easy to deal with, but the only one who is difficult to deal with is the county magistrate. Now everyone knows that Yi Jiaocheng is narrow-minded and will take revenge on Fang Shujing. Once this happens, it will be difficult for them to deal with!

Pressed by public opinion, they had no choice but to act immediately, and they had to endure it even though they had cards in their hands, which really caused internal injuries.

The next day, the people found out that the Jiaojia grain shop was closed.

Sure enough, as he expected, everyone was a little panicked.Everyone in the county makes a living by weaving, and all rations need to be bought. Although there is some food at home, it can't last for many days.

"Why don't we look for it, and see if there are any other grain shops open."

"With the great disaster of Jiao's family, how could there be other grain shops in the county." What he was doing was a monopoly business.

But after a while, it was discovered that there was a row of shops very close to the county government, and a grain shop had really opened quietly.

There are two bags of coarse grains at the door of the store.There are two guys soliciting customers at the door: "Ma'am, is Auntie coming in to buy food?"

Where have you seen such a pleasant-looking grain seller? I went to the Jiaojia Grain Shop to buy grain before, and it was obviously a gift for them, but the guys there just had their eyes above their heads.If you buy less, you will roll your eyes to the sky.

Looking at the enthusiastic work now, I felt flattered, so I followed in a daze. There were also two guys in the shop.They have a lot of food here.But there are only two kinds, one is coarse grains and the other is miscellaneous grains. The large bags of grains are all displayed, which is very shocking!

And it looked like this year's good grain, and I could already smell the grain when I came in.

smell good……

"How much?" asked the aunt, for fear that she would not be able to afford it.

"Auntie, there are two prices here, miscellaneous grains cost five cents a catty and coarse grains cost four cents a catty." The waiter asked.

"So cheap?" The aunt who asked the price couldn't believe it. At the Jiaojia Grain Shop, their rice bran still costs four yuan a catty.Coarse grains can even be sold for seven or eight cents a catty.

The price has been reduced by half, and I couldn't help but pull it with my hands. From top to bottom, there is grain without a grain of sand.

"I want fifty catties of coarse grain." I'm afraid that after passing this village, there will be no such shop.

The waiter said: "Ma'am, each person can only buy five catties at most!"

The aunt said: "Why, we have a lot of people in our family, and five catties of grain is not enough to last for a long time. You still have it here, so sell me more." She understood it with emotion and reasoned.

The clerk said: "It's really impossible, we have limited stock, and there are others." Then he looked back, and mysteriously pulled the aunt to a corner where there was no one, and said, "Auntie, this is the only one in our store." It is stipulated that if you still want to buy more, you can bring a few more people over. Each person buys five catties, and that’s it. Don’t say that I taught you to take advantage of loopholes, or we will be scolded when we go back.”

The aunt hummed, and said: "I see, then weigh it for me first." Miscellaneous grains can be used for cooking, and it is said that there is a little fine grain in it.Coarse grains can be used to paste pancakes and steam steamed buns.

Although the price was only one penny lower, everyone was reluctant to buy coarse grains and chose coarse grains one after another.

After a while, there was a long queue at the door. People nearby came to line up early after hearing the news, and those in the back were very nervous.I'm afraid that the front ones will be sold out, and five catties of grain is only [-] cents. For those of them who have been squeezed by the Jiao family all the year round, this price is simply a bargain!

The aunt bought it early, and when she went back, she saw her little grandson crying again, with a red slap on his face.

"It's fine, what are you doing beating the child?" Several of her daughters are married, and she is currently living with her second and third sons.The third son has not yet married.The second son is just such a child. Although the family is poor, everyone loves him very much.

The daughter-in-law said: "I just refuse to eat the rice cooked for him by this little ancestor." There is sand in the food, and they will be sieved before cooking.But it is inevitable that there are some omissions. This kid is four years old this year. He changed his milk teeth a few days ago, and his teeth collapsed after eating. Since then, he has refused to eat properly!

There are so many grown-ups in the family who can't get enough to eat, but whenever they have something to eat and drink, they will follow him closely.In the end, he refused to eat, and she slapped her in anger.

The boy's father heard it, and they all came out from outside and said harshly: "Beat me lightly."

The aunt held the little grandson in her arms, and the little guy was crying, looking very pitiful.The aunt said: "I bought food. Steamed buns for my grandson!"

She was not willing to do more, so she made three steamed buns in total.

When the steamed buns are steamed, the unique grain fragrance comes out, and it has been a long time since I smelled this smell.The little grandson didn't even bother to cry, and surrounded the stove with his eyes open, saying, "Grandma, when will it be good?"

Even the youngest son came out when he smelled it, and said: "Sweet!" It has been a long time since I smelled such a pure grain fragrance.

The neighbors all knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Hey, what day is it today? The food is so good." Everyone's life is not good, and his house is so delicious, so I want to come and have a look.

The neighbors here are all old neighbors for 30 or [-] years, and they are very familiar with each other on weekdays. A few people get together to do such a boring job of weaving, and they can still do it while talking and laughing. Others came too.

The aunt said: "Hurry up, the grain shop in the south of the city is open, and one person can buy five catties. When I came back, there was already a long queue, and it cost four Wen a catty. I saw that there was no sand mixed in."

"Is this made of this grain?"

"Ah."

As soon as the words fell, half of the people in the yard were gone, and they went back to grab food.

The pot was quickly opened, and the steamed buns were not fermented and were hard.I cut it in half and gave it to the grandson, and the younger son also shared half.

The second child was divided into one, and the old couple was divided into one.

Although there is a mouthful of coarse grains in the entrance, it is unusually sweet. It tastes like pure grains. It is really fragrant, and you can break a small piece.Dry chewing this is fine for eating and playing!

"Grandma, this is delicious." The little grandson had long forgotten that he was slapped by his mother for not eating.Now I am happy to eat again.

Even the old man of their family wanted to promote his spirit, so he didn't eat it, but he smelled the tempting smell of this little puff, he couldn't hold it back, and ate it beside him.This steaming steamed bun can only be divided into half.Fortunately, children have small appetites, and they can be full after eating a little, but for them adults, this little food can also be used as a cushion.

This is the cheapest grain in the grain shop, but everyone can taste happiness.

"It would be great if I could eat this grain every day."

"Mom, you are still wise!"

The aunt said: "Don't flatter me, our whole family will go to line up tomorrow, stock up a little more, I don't know how many times I can eat such good food." Then she said: "I see that my grandson likes to eat this, In the future, just cook this for him. We adults can make do with it, and we can't let children suffer along with it."

When the fierce daughter-in-law heard this, she turned her head and wiped her tears, and said, "Mother, I still have a silver hairpin, it will be melted tomorrow, and I will exchange it for food."

The aunt also knew that this was the only thing left by her daughter-in-law: "You should keep it, just weave more. Although our family is not rich, it is not enough to rely on you as a woman to live."

"It would be great if I could eat this grain every day." The aunt's son said.

"You just want beautiful things."

After speaking, the whole family laughed together.

When the food was bought back that day, many people really cooked it and cried on the spot...

This most common grain has not been eaten for a long time.

In Fang Shujing's county office, the grain merchant brought Lin Yuchen's letter and said here: "My lord, Boss Xiao Lin told me. I have been collecting grain in several counties, and I can guarantee the quality, and absolutely No price increase."

Fang Shujing read Lin Yuchen's letter. This is a friend of his uncle's. He is very honest and has a good reputation in all villages.It's best for him to come.

Fang Shujing nodded and said, "It's just that the food is not enough, you can transport some more." The people in the county have never bought such high-quality and cheap food and want to stock up. The number mentioned in his letter is probably far away. cannot meet the needs of the county.

The grain merchant said: "I have already entrusted someone to fetch grain. The province next door is a major grain-producing province. Although it will be more expensive to transport it here, it will be deducted from my profit and the price will not increase." He did not expect this before he came. Bian was short of food, and he was not prepared for it, but fortunately, he has been in this business for more than ten years. There are many channels and ways. As long as he is willing to spend the freight, he can get any amount of food.

The grain merchant Fang Shujing was also very impressed, saying: "Your Excellency is really clever. I didn't let me bring other goods this time. The people here only buy coarse grains." The kind of miscellaneous grains that are greedy for fine grains.No one bought it for only one penny.

There are many types and origins of grain. If it were more abundant, there would be no more than twenty or thirty types, but everyone would not recognize it, so they would buy the cheapest one!

It wasn't until he came that he realized that the grain merchants here were so excessive. As an honest businessman, he was very angry when he heard this.Although the grain merchants here are a little overshadowed, he is not afraid, anyway, Fang Shujing is covering him.Don't go out of the house if you are messy recently, even if they go too far, they will always be secretive, so they can't just break into the door and grab things directly.

Fang Shujing said: "That's good. I've already told the yamen servant to take care of you. If there's anything wrong, report it to the officials immediately."

The grain merchant nodded and said: "I know the importance!" His shop is not far from the gate of the yamen, which gave him a great sense of security.

After the two of them exchanged a few words, the grain merchant went out, seeing that it was already dark outside.There are still many people queuing up.And looking at the endless tail of the team, it seems that there are more people.

The grain merchant said: "Thank you for your support, folks, our store is no longer selling. Come back early tomorrow."

The people in the back were anxious. Some people lived at the far end of the county and knew the news late. What if they didn't buy it?I still have to weave during the day, so I don’t have much time to queue up.

Said: "We are from the countryside, it is not easy to come here, you can do it?"

The grain merchant said: "In this way, you come early tomorrow, and I guarantee you can buy it." It's been a busy day today, if you don't stop it, I'm afraid you won't be able to close the shop overnight.

Many of these people who are in the back have already bought one crop and are now waiting to buy the second crop.There were also some newcomers, seeing that the grain merchant had said so, they had to make verbal agreements with him again and then dispersed.

When the grain merchant returned to the shop, he took an inventory and sold five thousand catties of grain.Each person can only buy five catties, which has not been released yet.Otherwise, the entire grain store would have to be emptied by them. Fortunately, there was a wave of purchase restrictions, which would buy time for the grain behind him to be picked up.

The grain merchant hurried to write letters to others.This time, we need to transport a lot of food, even tens of thousands of catties can be eaten.

The grain merchant said: "You guys just happen to be doing some work right now. Anyway, five catties is a bag. Everyone weighs it out in advance, and everyone leaves after paying the money. It also saves everyone the hard work of queuing up. Give the weight to the taller one, and give it more." One, two, half, two is nothing. Don’t miss it.” He is a smart man, and this kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime. If he has a firm foothold in the county, he doesn’t have to worry about making money in the future, and he will come to him.At this time, what is most needed is quality and reputation, and it is impossible to fool people.

"Yes." These guys agreed in unison, and they didn't stay idle after closing the store, and began to pack the food.
