Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 2638 Just Needed (Second Update)
No one is stupid, everyone immediately knew that Yang Huaming was also one of those unscrupulous businessmen hoarding goods.

"No wonder Xiaojuan and Xiaojuan are two popular and hot drinkers, wearing gold and silver jewelry all over their bodies. After a long time, it turns out that they are doing this kind of black-hearted business, cheating money from them!"

"That's right, I still want to sell at sky-high prices to make a fortune. I'm more greedy and blood-sucking than those mosquitoes and leeches. Pooh!"

"Seeing that the relief food from the government has come down, these unscrupulous merchants are in a hurry, haha, unless their price is a few percent lower than the government's, otherwise, I would rather buy from the government than let these unscrupulous merchants earn our blood and sweat money!"

"That's right, let's go, let's go to the town together to buy some rice and come back."

After ridiculing Yang Huaming, the villagers dispersed and went to the town one after another.

Yang Huaming was left standing alone under the old maple tree, so depressed that he wanted to plunge into the pond in front of him.

What do you mean by stealing chickens without losing money?That's it!
Sorry for the first time!
In Qingshui Town, on the first day, the government transported [-] catties of rice, [-] catties of wheat flour, and other agricultural and sideline crops that can fill the stomach.

The quantity is not too much, and it was sold out in just two hours.

But the government promised that this is just the beginning.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the sale will continue to ensure that the people will not have money in their pockets and cannot buy rice.

On the first day, the merchants in the town who had goods in their hands remained on the sidelines.

The next day, when they learned that Wanghai County was also organizing grain sales, these merchants couldn't sit still.

Day three, day four...

The touting has been going on and on.

Many ordinary people have already bought enough grain to go home and prepare it, and they will be able to survive the shortage until the first season of rice matures in the summer.

The common people feel at ease, and the demand for rice grain is no longer as fierce as it was before.

The merchants couldn't hold back any longer, so they took out the rice grains they had hoarded and sold them off one after another.

At the beginning, I wanted to resist, but the price was a little bit higher than the government's price.

As a result, there were no birds at all.

The common people lined up unhurriedly, preferring to wait for the relief food from the government the next day instead of rushing to buy the expensive rice from the merchants.

The merchants had no choice but to grit their teeth and cut the price again, which was even par with the government's price, but they still couldn't sell much.

Because everyone no longer has a rigid demand for this piece.

I have hoarded so much rice. If I don’t sell it now, I will wait until the new rice of the summer season comes out.
The old rice of the next year will not be sold at a good price.

Moreover, it costs a lot to take care of it every day. Fire, moisture, and rats can't afford it.

Many businessmen were really at a loss, gritted their teeth, endured the pain of cutting their flesh, and had to start selling rice at a reduced price...

……

Looking at the dry and full rice in the granary at home, Yang Huazhong's hanging heart completely fell back into his stomach.

"Qing'er, this move is a bit risky,"

Yang Huazhong patted his chest and said, "Some time ago, looking at our empty granary, I didn't dare to say it, but I was secretly sweating."

"You said that if those unscrupulous businessmen don't take the bait, then we, our restaurant, will drink the Northwest Wind."

"Fortunately, they finally took the bait, hahaha, now our food is not only back, but also purchased at a low price, that's great!"

Hearing Yang Huazhong's words, Yang Ruoqing was also full of emotion.

That's right, the relief food distributed by the government was simply because she had done Yang Huazhong's ideological work in private.

He took out all the food in the granary at home, and borrowed a batch of food from Zuo Junmo to support the scene.

With the help of County Magistrate Zou, he sold it to the common people in the form of the government.

There are several purposes, one, to appease the hearts of the people, so that the common people do not panic.

Second, put pressure on unscrupulous merchants, you can hoard goods, and we can draw from the bottom.

In addition, the government also issued an official announcement, that is, the war in the north has subsided, and anyone who spreads rumors about the war will be brought to justice!
"Qing'er, I will send back the rice from Big Brother Zuo tomorrow?" Luo Fengtang asked Yang Ruoqing for his opinion.

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, "I borrowed a thousand catties of rice from Big Brother Zuo, and I will return him 1000 two hundred catties back."

When she was putting all her eggs in one basket and fighting with her back, Zuo Junmo did not hesitate to donate all the food stored in the warehouse.

This kindness of sending charcoal in the snow cannot be expressed by a mere two hundred catties of rice.

"Hey, your fourth uncle can't cry anymore." Yang Huazhong sighed suddenly.

"I heard from your grandfather that he hasn't eaten for two or three days, and he's lying on the bed, dying of illness."

"It's your own fault." Yang Ruoqing didn't feel sympathetic at all.

"I've told him twice, but he still can't get past his greed. As a result, other merchants in the town started selling rice one after another, and he is still holding illusions."

"Is it okay now? If you throw in 80 taels of silver, it's not bad if you can get [-] taels of silver back!"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, she didn't want to comment on Yang Huaming anymore, and she was speechless.

Because some people will not turn back even if they hit the south wall. They only know the pain when their head is bleeding. One word: yes!

During the Lantern Festival, Pinger came back as scheduled.

"Look, Qing'er, this is the clothes material I made for Bao Bao and Dazhi. The best cloth store in Yuncheng has a new cloth from the Western Regions."

"I fell in love with this one at a glance. This color, the spring shirt made into a pair of breasts is very revealing. It must be worn for the baby..."

Ping'er's face was dusty, but she couldn't stop the excitement on her face.

This made Yang Ruoqing feel that Ping'er really regarded this place as her home now, and the excitement and joy after returning could not be faked.

"Look, Qing'er, the material of this dress is for third uncle and third aunt..."

"Ping'er, it's really costly for you to buy so many things." Yang Ruoqing said.

Ping'er smiled like a flower, and shook her head, "It's nothing, for more than a year, you and your family have taken care of me and Huahua."

"What is my purchase of these things compared to how nice you all have been to me?" she asked.

Yang Ruoqing hooked her lips, and saw a pair of new men's shoes exposed from the baggage.

The back of the shoe is blue, the hem is white, and the sole is covered with twine.

These shoes must be very comfortable to wear on the feet, because they look like they were made with care.

"These shoes belong to my elder brother?" Yang Ruoqing asked suddenly.

Ping'er was stunned, followed Yang Ruoqing's line of sight to see the shoes, her pretty face blushed, and subconsciously wanted to close the bundle.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and pressed Ping'er's hand, "Don't hide it, I've seen it all."
