Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 165 I Miss Shen Xiao Alone

The size of the counties these days is actually comparable to the townships of the later generations, and some are not as good as the townships. There are not many pastry shops in the county towns, and the types of cakes sold are small, and the quantity is actually quite small.

After all, the purchasing power of the entire county is there.

If you overdo it and sell it and it breaks, whose responsibility is it?

So even if Yin Tao wraps up all the cakes in the pastry shop, it is only a matter of ten taels of silver. Of course, the price is sky-high in the eyes of the common people, but who wants to use sugar in the cakes? , Sugar is more precious than salt.

But for Yin Tao, how much money is just a number, nothing more.

"Father, next pastry shop!" Yin Gui almost fell when he heard Yin Tao's words, "Still buying?"

Yin Tao nodded: "Buy!" Silver is not edible, and it can't relieve her inner panic at all.

"If you buy too much of this stuff, it will be a waste." Yin Gui tried to persuade Yin Tao, but Yin Tao insisted: "Just let grandma give it to someone in the temple before it breaks."

Carrying money is not real, she has to exchange all the money in her hand for food to be safe.

The big deal is that she stays at home in winter and copies a few books.

You can earn some money by selling them in spring.

Anyway, no matter what, Yin Tao made up his mind to buy food.

Yin Gui didn't say a word, and the girl can do whatever she wants, and it's okay to give alms out, just because there is land and land, I should do some good deeds to accumulate virtue.

The three dim sum shops in the county were all swept away by Yin Tao. She didn't think it was enough, so she went to the roasted seeds and nuts shop and swept away the roasted seeds and nuts that they said, such as fried walnuts, fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, fried chestnuts, fried pine nuts...

When they went to the embroidery room to pick up Deng and the others, the carriage was full of these things, and a few people could only squeeze in front and barely sit down.

When he arrived in the town, Yin Gui drove to the butcher's house. According to Yin Tao's wishes, he bought ten pigs, one hundred chickens and one hundred ducks.

He also agreed that the butcher would deliver them to them the next evening. After all, it would take time to collect such things, and they would have to go to the farmer's house to collect them.

The butcher naturally agreed.

"Taoer, what are you doing buying so many chickens, ducks and pigs?" Wang asked puzzled.

Yin Tao vaguely said: "In Yanglinzi, they kill and eat meat slowly. The family needs to build a house, and my father and brothers don't have time to run to the town every three days."

"This is a good idea. I will feed the chickens and ducks and feed the pigs to me!" Mrs. Wang smiled, and Mrs. Deng also said, "I can help too." Anyway, Grandma has spoken, so they don't have to worry about the second room. The work, even the meals are eaten in the big room.

If you don't work hard, how can you do it?

After returning home, Yin Tao asked Yin Gui to give the things to Mrs. Xu to put them away. The snacks taste very strong, so you must pay attention to preventing rats.

Yin Fu returned home before them. Unfortunately, he did not buy any food.

Not only him, but everyone in the village failed to buy food.

It’s just that the people in the village don’t care about it. They think that if they can’t buy it today, they will buy it tomorrow. It’s normal to close the warehouse and release the grain. Who can buy so much grain?

Yin Tao suggested to Yin Fu: "Second Uncle, if you can't buy food tomorrow, go buy some roasted seeds and nuts, buy some chicken, duck and pork, and marinate them into bacon."

Doctor Duan had killed all the chickens, ducks, and pigs that Dr. Duan gave her. Now the eaves of the house are full of cured chickens, ducks, and sausages.

Yin Fu didn't understand why Yin Tao insisted on asking him to buy grain, but as soon as Yin Tao suggested, Xu asked him to listen to Yin Tao, and Yin Fu naturally agreed.

The second uncle agreed to the matter, and Yin Tao didn't care anymore.

"Boss, someone bought out all the dim sum in several dim sum shops, and also bought out the roasted seeds and nuts in the roasted seeds and nuts shop." Yin Tao didn't know that after she left the county, someone was following her actions. .

Middle-aged man: "Don't make a fuss, we mainly focus on the food and try to collect all the food in the Changping warehouse.

It's just a little pastry and roasted seeds and nuts... Don't spoil the important affairs of the nobles in Beijing, the food in the Changping warehouse cannot be lost.

You go and hire more people to guard the gates of the food stores tonight, making sure that no food flows into the hands of the common people.

If someone lined up at the door of each grain store before our people, we would try to get them away. "

The guy bowed: "Yes!"

The middle-aged man couldn't figure out why the nobles in Beijing would give him such an order, but he didn't need to use his brain, he just needed to get things done.

But he is not stupid, he scraped the county's grain on such a large scale, and even sent his idea to Changping warehouse... Anyway, for a long time in the future, the county's grain will definitely be in short supply and the price will increase, so he So they secretly hoarded a lot of food at home.

It's not just Antu County, as far as he knows, the Changping warehouses in the entire state capital are full of grain.

In other words, the food in the entire state capital was collected and scraped away.

The middle-aged man pushed open the window and looked at the sky. The sky was as clear as blue, without even a single cloud.

But Bisheng gave him a feeling that the storm was about to come.

The next day, the villagers went to the town to buy grain as usual, but the result was the same as the day before, no grain was bought.

On the contrary, Yin Fu listened to Yin Tao's words and bought a lot of roasted seeds and nuts. As for the chicken, duck and pork, he had agreed with the butcher to kill the good ones and send them back to him after they were cleaned up.

Now Mrs. Chen is working alone at home, and this old woman is too unfavorable. The meals she prepares for him every day are like pig food, which is hard for him to swallow.

Hey, I'm so envious that my sons, daughter-in-law and grandson can eat at the elder brother's house.

Yin Gui made up his mind that the meat he bought would be sent to his elder brother's house, and his two daughters-in-law would make bacon and put it in the air to dry at his elder brother's house. When he wanted to eat it, he would come here and let his nephew and daughter-in-law cook it.

Delicious.

On the third day, there was no food in the town.

On the fourth day, someone sent a letter to Yin's house.

Said it was sent from Xishan Daying, Yin Gui gave the visitor a few copper coins for his hard work, he opened it and saw that it was from Yin Dashui, Yin Tao caught up with the sender: "Is it just this letter? "

The man nodded and said, "Only this one."

Yin Tao was very disappointed when she heard the words, why didn't Shen Xiao write to her?

Obviously it was all said and done.

"Grandfather, grandma, father and mother, brother and brother, Tao'er:... I was the only one who was assigned to the cook camp from the villagers, and the leader asked me to be a pig farm. There are thousands of pigs down there hahahaha..."

In plain Chinese, the letter was written by a soldier who could read and write, and he was given three copper coins.

It's just that this soldier doesn't have much literary talent, and he doesn't know how to polish it, so he writes whatever he says.

Because the letter mentioned the whereabouts of other people, Yin Gui took the letter and went to the entrance of the village. At the same time, he asked some children from some land to beat the gong to call the villagers to the entrance of the village, so that he could tell everyone.

Yin Tao went back to the house sadly, she pulled out the peach hairpin on her head, which was bought by Shen Xiao.

"Where are you? Why didn't you write to me? I'm scared, Shen Xiao..." She held the peach hairpin tightly and stared at it, as if it was Shen Xiao.

Yin Dashui's letter mentioned everyone in the village, except Shen Xiao.

Did he deliberately not write about Shen Xiao, or did he not know Shen Xiao's whereabouts at all.
