Yang Heshu only thought she was joking, so he laughed and stopped talking about it, and just kept the entry fee in mind.
He looked at the people coming and going below, and thought to himself: If the former magistrate Fu knew that the entry fee of one penny and two pennies stopped so many people, I wonder if he would regret it.
Yang Heshu thought that if it was him, he would definitely regret it.
He has always felt that as long as there are people, there will be prosperity.
People are the root of everything!
Someone wanted to go to the city to buy a needle, but he couldn't because of the penny entry fee.
But does he really only buy a needle when he enters the city
If you see the thread next to the needle, will you buy some, and if you see the fabric, will you also want to buy it
Or if you stay in the city for a long time, will you spend some money on a meal? Even if it is to buy a bun, the person who sells the bun has made some money.
And if he sold one more bun, the grain shop and mill would earn a little more...
Yang Heshu was fascinated after thinking about it, Bai Shanbao waved his hand in front of his eyes, and found that he hadn't recovered, so he shrugged at Man Bao and said, "Let's order food ourselves."
Bai Erlang also hugged his belly and said, "I'm hungry."
"We eat meat!" Man Bao made his request.
Manbao can no longer earn money by selling sugar, so he didn't buy meat for his family.
And old Zhou Tou spent money to buy an ox cart, and he still had a debt owed to the yamen on his head, so he was very stingy. He had eggs at home that he could eat, but it was impossible to buy meat.
Just to make the two little grandsons in the family cry less, he asked the family to buy some pig feet or crucian carp to make soup for the two daughters-in-law.
Xiaoqian occasionally steals some for Man Bao to eat, but not much, and it is not easy for Man Bao to compete with the two sister-in-laws who want to feed their nephews.
So Manbao hasn't eaten meat for a long time.
When Yang Heshu came back to his senses, the three children had already ordered their favorite dishes, and Xiaoer looked at him with a smile, "My lord, what else do you want to order?"
Yang Heshu asked, "What did you all order?"
Hearing the name of the dish reported by the third child, Yang Heshu couldn't help being speechless, and asked, "Can you finish eating?"
Two dishes for one person, six dishes for three people.
The three of them nodded and said affirmatively, "We've finished eating!"
Yang Heshu ordered a soup. Ever since he went to the mountains and the countryside to eat the meals of the villagers, Yang Heshu learned to be frugal automatically.
As soon as the food was served, the three children looked at Yang and Shu together, waiting for him to start.
Yang Heshu understood it. He smiled slightly, picked up a dish with his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Let's eat."
The three children stretched out their chopsticks together and began to eat in an orderly manner.
Since they went to primary school with Mr. Zhuang, they usually eat lunch with Mr. Zhuang.
Then Mr. Zhuang took care of their dining etiquette.
In the past, no one specially taught Bai Erlang, and the old Zhou family felt that Manbao was good everywhere, but Bai Shanbao was strictly required in this regard since he was a child.
Once Mr. Zhuang took care of it, the three children became more polite, at least they would not be rude at the dinner table.
Halfway through eating, Yang and Shu found out. The three of them said they could finish eating, so they really could finish eating.
Yang and Shu's appetite improved a lot after being led by them. After eating, he subconsciously slowed down and let them eat first.
Seeing that the three of them ate deliciously, Yang Heshu couldn't help but said: "I didn't believe it before, but now I believe that they say half-children eat poor people. Why do you think you eat more than me?"
The three looked up and smiled politely at him.
Yang Heshu put down the bowls and chopsticks, and asked with a smile, "Have you finished harvesting the winter wheat in your farm? How is the harvest?"
"Very good," Man Bao ate up all the rice grains in the bowl, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "The winter wheat in our village is pretty good this year, and the mills have been queuing up to grind flour these two days."
Bai Shanbao asked, "What is the situation in other villages?"
Yang Heshu said with a smile: "The situation in other villages is also good. I heard from the old farmers that the main reason is that there were several spring rains when the wheat was filling in the spring this year. The weather was not too cold or hot, so the harvest was good."
"Wouldn't the price of food be reduced?" Bai Shanbao asked thoughtfully.
"It hasn't fallen yet, but I guess it will be soon." Yang Heshu was happy when he mentioned this, and it was also because the winter wheat harvest was good that he was wandering around the county town leisurely at this time, otherwise he would have a headache right now Where to get food for relief, so that the people of a county can get through the spring and yellow.
"Last year, the people in the countryside were the saddest. Some of them stopped cooking a month ago, so many people were reluctant to sell the winter wheat they harvested. Therefore, the price of grain is not easy to drop for a while, but after a while The time is the Dragon Boat Festival, after the Dragon Boat Festival, we can see how the summer harvest will be, and the price of grain will definitely drop by then."
Yang Heshu is very confident that this year will definitely have a bumper harvest.
Man Bao is also very confident. As early as some time ago, when the wheat was drying, her father followed a group of old men and old ladies to watch the sky under the banyan tree, and finally concluded that this year may be very rewarding.
At most, there will be drought after autumn, but the impact will not be too great at that time.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other and decided to go to the grain shop after dinner.
Bai Erlang was also full, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and found that there was no sound on the dining table, so he looked around and asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Man Bao pointed to the leftover rice in Yang He's book bowl and said, "Master Yang, you haven't finished eating."
Yang Heshu: "I, I'm full."
Man Bao's eyes widened, obviously he didn't expect that someone would leave the white rice.
The old Zhou's family never had leftovers, and everyone could eat all the rice in their bowls. How could there be anyone in this world who couldn't eat
Man Bao's gaze made Yang Heshu feel that he had done something outrageous. He silently picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate the food inside, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at the three children in blank dismay.
Yang Heshu asked, "Are you going to my house? Last time I agreed to invite you to see the garden in the backyard of the county government."
Bai Erlang nodded, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao shook their heads.
Yang Heshu ignored Bai Erlang, looked at Man Bao and Bai Shanbao, "What, do you have something to do?"
"We're going to the grain shop to have a look."
Yang Heshu understood after a little thought, and asked with a smile, "Why, do you want to sell the farm's wheat?"
The two nodded.
Yang Heshu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's a good time to sell now, otherwise the price will drop after a while."
Yang Heshu simply got up, "Let's go, I'll take a look with you."
For some reason, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao didn't want to go to the grain shop with Yang and Shu.
But people are so enthusiastic, and the two of them can only accept it.
Bai Erlang felt sleepy after eating, and now he just wanted to go home and take a nap, so his mouth was pouting high, and he followed them sullenly.
