"You don't understand now, do you know how much a bushel of wheat is harvested by the grain merchants in the countryside today?"
"How many?"
"Twenty-eight yuan!" Master Bai snorted, "It was thirty yuan before, but today it's down to twenty-eight yuan, so they can lose money by entering and exiting. If you don’t have a lot, you’ll lose even more.”
Master Bai put his hands behind his head, swayed his legs and said with a smile: "You don't even think about how old they are this year, let alone our silly boy, how old is Shanbao who can call the shots? Not to mention that little girl Manbao is older than Shanbao is still one year younger."
So even though Master Bai was cheated, he was very relieved.
"What's even better is that they are empty-handed white wolves this time." Master Bai only found out from the housekeeper after the three children left. He said that the food didn't even come in, so he went directly to the village to exchange wheat seeds with others.
He also went to join in the fun, and only then did he know that the food came from Longzhou.
Master Bai was not stupid, he understood where the food came from after a little thought.
He just said, even if the three children are not short of money, but everyone is short of food at the moment, how can the people in the village sell all the wheat to them
He wondered whether the three children had paid a high price to buy out the wheat, and he laughed in his heart. They fought with each other, benefiting the people in the village.
In the end, what the three children did was much more amazing than he expected, and they came up with a way to exchange food for food.
Two liang of a catty is exchanged for one catty, and the villagers in Qili Village are grateful for the profit, and the cost they spend is not high.
He can earn such a large sum of money as soon as he sells it to him. Not to mention when he was eight or nine years old, even now he can't do anything more beautiful than this.
This method was brilliant, and what was even more brilliant was that they didn't even buy the food they exchanged with cash, but bought it directly from Longzhou on credit.
Master Bai clasped his hands in front of his stomach, and sighed softly, "This is really the wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave ahead."
Mrs. Bai hesitated and said: "Forget it, our son is not that smart. You used to say that my uncle is smart, and I didn't believe it, but now I hear you say that, and I believe it."
This uncle is naturally Bai Shanbao's biological father Bai Qilai.
Master Bai, who accidentally understood the latent meaning of his wife: ...
He decided to go to bed, because tomorrow morning he had to go to the next door to have a look at the wheat seeds they brought back.
Holding the torches, Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang walked to Qianjia Village step by step. Once they entered the village, the torches were all burned down to a smoldering flame.
There is only time to light up the road ahead.
The two arrived at Uncle Qian's house in the dark, and knocked on the door lightly.
The Qian family went to bed early, and Uncle Qian was in a dream, so he knocked on the door several times before he heard it.
Aunt Qian, who was still feeling light, pushed Uncle Qian when she heard it.
Uncle Qian yelled out in a daze, woke up the eldest son who was sleeping next door, and asked him to go and have a look, while he closed his eyes and got up to feel for his clothes and put them on.
Qian Dalang muttered and went to open the door, and was startled when he saw the people outside, "Cousin? Why are you here?"
Zhou Dalang said in a low voice: "Let's go in and talk."
Qian Dalang hurriedly let the two of them in, while he rushed to find his father, "Father, it's my cousin."
Uncle Qian put on his clothes in the dark, with his eyes still closed, and asked, "Which cousin?"
"Oh, there is another cousin, the cousin of the eldest aunt's family, the eldest cousin and the second cousin came here together."
Uncle Qian was so excited that he almost fell off the bed, "Is that your aunt?"
Uncle Qian shook his hands and said, "That's not right, someone said a while ago, is your aunt healthy? Why can't it be done?"
Aunt Qian was also taken aback, and quickly got up from the bed, "Did you send the white cloth?"
Qian Dalang: "...No, Dad, I see that the faces of the eldest cousin and the second cousin are quite normal, it doesn't look like something happened..."
Uncle Qian's face was still very solemn, this dark man would usually come to the door at night, unless the neighbors came to visit, otherwise it was usually because of trivial matters.
Uncle Qian put on his clothes and went out. Qian Erlang also got up and lit the oil lamp. He moved a chair for the two of them, yawned and asked, "What happened?"
Uncle Qian just came out, Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang got up immediately, one called "Father" and the other "Uncle".
Uncle Qian pressed his hand and asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Dalang glanced left and right, seeing that the children hadn't gotten up yet, and they were all grown-ups here, he breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his voice to tell about the wheat seeds.
Hearing Zhou Dalang say that they sell a bucket of wheat seeds for 150 yuan, not to mention the brothers of the Qian family, even Uncle Qian's eyes are so bright.
Uncle Qian swallowed, and asked in a low voice, "Your father said this would work?"
"Okay, my father said, let you choose the best wheat seeds, as long as the seeds are good, you will be fine. Second and third uncles, let's talk about it." Zhou Dalang said: "My father means, don't bring it with you. Too much in the past, one person, one load, before dawn, quietly put it in my warehouse, no one will know if we don’t tell.”
Uncle Qian nodded, glanced at the two sons, and then frowned, "Where is the third child? Why is he sleeping like a dead pig?"
Qian Dalang said: "Then I'll call him."
"Don't call it for now," Uncle Qian said, "There are only two pairs of bamboo baskets at home, you can go find a few more bags, and put another one on top of the wheat later, and we'll just carry the bags over there."
Uncle Qian and Zhou Dalang assured: "Don't worry about your father, the seeds of your family are really good. When we go to harvest this spring, our family's wheat is the best in the whole village. Previously, I kept enough for my own In addition to the wheat seeds, the first batch of threshed wheat was also packed separately. At that time, someone in the village told me to change the wheat seeds.”
But now Uncle Qian doesn't plan to trade that particularly good wheat seed, and directly sells it at Lao Zhou's house.
Zhou Dalang nodded.
Uncle Qian became happy. He glanced at the moon outside and said, "Don't worry about your second uncle. He always does things carefully. These things must have been organized long ago. Your third uncle..."
Uncle Qian paused and then said: "Fortunately, your third aunt has a plan in mind, and your two cousins are also hardworking, so it should be fine. At worst, I'll go to him earlier, even if I'm not ready, we'll do it now. "
Zhou Zhou Lang nodded again and again, this is a good idea, otherwise tell Uncle San in advance, it's not a big deal whether he sleeps or not, and it will be bad if he yells out.
Zhou Dalang was also very worried about his third uncle's temper, "Then when I come back..."
"If he has money, does he still dare to go out there?" Uncle Qian said, "Don't worry, I'll watch over him. If he dares to talk out, I'll beat him to death."
