black-bellied peasant woman

Chapter 71
Seeing that Catcher Liang brought people here, the people did not dare to be presumptuous, and lined up obediently, waiting to buy rice. The quality of the rice is so good, although the price is a little bit more expensive than the usual rice price, but everyone doesn't care.

And those who can’t afford rice can only be envious. After all, rice is considered a luxury in this era. No one in Jiangnan can grow rice, but transporting rice from Jiangnan is too time-consuming, laborious, and expensive, so Jiangbei's rice is so expensive.

If the Yangtze River between Jiangbei and Jiangnan could build a bridge, maybe the rice would not be so expensive, but the current imperial court refuses to pay for the construction of the bridge. The Yangtze River is not like other small rivers or lakes. The Yangtze River is like a moat. In general, let alone building bridges, even if you want to cross the river, it is very difficult.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiangbei and Jiangnan are separated by a river, but there is no communication. On the other hand, it is also because Jiangnan is rich and does not bother to come to Jiangbei. After all, there is no place to make money in Jiangbei. Because of poverty, it is impossible for people to go to Jiangnan to experience it.

Su Jin took advantage of such a natural condition to allow herself to develop rapidly, and when she learned about the prosperity of Jiangnan, she tried her best to rush to Jiangnan after many years, opening up another world for herself. Of course, this is something for later.

When Su Jin came with the second batch of rice in person, the long queue at the door of the store did not decrease, and Butou Liang was looking at Su Jin who came down from the carriage in surprise. It felt like the little woman in front of her had changed.

When he saw her for the first time, he always felt that she was a poor woman who was still busy making a living for so many people at such a young age, but now that she saw her rushing over with so many cars in person, he didn't think so up.

If it was really pitiful, then Su Jin would not have caused such a big commotion. What's more, since the last incident, Liang Butou also gradually understood some things in his subordinates' reports. For example, Su Jin brought everyone Things that you want to eat but can't eat, and the quantity is large every time. Although it is not enough for everyone to buy, it is also beyond the amount that other merchants can provide.

I haven't seen him for a few months, but he actually sold the most precious rice. Catcher Liang was really surprised. He suddenly made a decision that he must protect this Su Jin in the future, because he always felt that Su Jin was not simple. She can still help him in the future, just like Young Master Ye, he has a very good relationship with Young Master Ye, and it is precisely because of this that he can see Su Jin's potential power.

"Brother Liang, I'm sorry to trouble you. I asked you to come to help me in person. I really don't know how to thank you." When Su Jin got out of the carriage, he first saw the long queue of common people, and then Liang Qin. With her head looking over at him, she hurried forward to thank him.

Looking at this situation, I also know that Liang Butou must be helping him maintain order. You must know that although this is a peaceful era, it is not a safe era. There are still people who can do things like bullying the weak by the strong. Moreover, she, as an outsider to the townspeople, would definitely be bullied. The peaceful days in the past few months really depended on Catcher Liang's care.

Seeing this, Catcher Liang also took a step forward, walked in front of her to give her a hand, and said with a smile, "Sister, you don't have to be polite, you should do what a big brother should do, but sister, where did you get so much rice? But you know that the supply of rice is in short supply now!"

"Brother Liang, let's find another place when the younger sister goes to explain something, and then the younger sister will know everything, how about it?" Su Jin looked at the crowd who had turned their heads curiously, deliberately Lowered his voice.

Hearing the words, Catcher Liang also noticed the strangeness around him. He naturally understood the embarrassment of the businessman, so he patted his chest in response and waited outside for Su Jin to come out.

Su Jin asked Daniel and the others to move the rice into the store, and add it when the rice in the rice tank was insufficient, and asked Daniel to leave more people in the store. If there was not much rice at night, he would rush back overnight, and tomorrow morning Bring some more rice over here, if you can sell all the rice one day earlier, you can reclaim the remaining land sooner.

She thought things were far away, so she didn't want to delay for a while. Daniel nodded to show that he understood, and then picked a few people to stay, and the rest followed Su Jin and Liang Tutou to the restaurant.

Su Jin first let Liang Butou into the private room, and then let Brother Liu and others who followed her sit at the table, and let Brother Liu watch and order, as if she was rewarding everyone, and they had a big meal, but they are not allowed Drink, wait until all the rice on the mountain is sold out, and then drink to celebrate.

When the big guy heard this, he looked at Su Jin very gratefully. Long-term workers like them, who have never sat in a restaurant for dinner, have only been with Su Jin for a few months now, and they can sit here even if Without drinking, they are already drunk, because these days are really good.

Su Jin asked Brother Liu to come to the private room after ordering dishes. She wanted Brother Liu to have a good chat with Catcher Liang. After all, she didn't come to town much, and it was mainly Brother Liu who came over. In the past few months, Liu The eldest brother is busy with buying and delivering goods, while she is busy with the rice on the mountain, so she has no time to develop a relationship with Liang Tutou, but this time is just right for her to have a good chat with Liang Tutou.

A total of two batches of rice were delivered today, which should be enough to sell for a day, but thinking of the long queue, Su Jin felt a little dangerous, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"Big sister, can you tell my brother now?" Catcher Liang saw her laughing, and was almost amazed by her maturing beauty. If he hadn't always kept in mind that this is a widowed woman, she might have died by now. I couldn't hold it anymore.

"Brother Liang, to be honest, my younger sister grows rice in the countryside, and also raises fish. In addition, there are eggs, duck eggs, and soft-shelled turtles. If Brother Liang pays attention to these things, he should have seen them in the store. After that, the brothers and sisters who followed the younger sister are all poor people. They have no fields at home, and they don’t have much craftsmanship, so the younger sister gathered them together and provided them with fields for planting and poultry for them to raise. , in exchange for money to live.” Through the knowledge and understanding of Liang Tutou during this period of time, Su Jin felt that Liang Tutou was indeed a person worthy of deep friendship, so he spoke out about his current situation.

Catcher Liang was startled when he heard the words, and asked after a while, "Where did you get your field? Could it be that you were the one who bought the two mountains a while ago?"

Although he works in the yamen, he is in charge of a different place, so he is not in the place where the mountain is bought and the deed is handled, but he can know some news there. At that time, he learned that someone bought two When Huang Shan was a woman, he was shocked.
