The granaries are all wheat with husks, and there are three granaries. The county magistrate's grain storage is faster than that of the general's mansion...
She smiled and accepted it all.
She hopes to do this kind of zero-yuan purchase where she gets both money and food more often! Especially for such a corrupt official! She gets it without any psychological pressure.
As for Dong Bai’s side…
The businessman didn't care that much, so Tang Zangyue could just use the help of shopkeeper Chu to suppress it.
Tang Zangyue first went to a courtyard outside the town and then asked someone to bring a message to Doctor Xue and Shopkeeper Chu.
After the two of them arrived and collected the needed medicinal materials and things, Tang Zangyue made a list of how much food they had bought with their money.
The grain she bought was based on what was harvested, in order to prepare for natural disasters. So far, space grain, meat and fruits were measured in tens of thousands of tons, but she knew that these were far from enough. Simply, this
During this trip, every time I go to a place, I will inform the local collaborator that she will collect it again in the coming year, and the space food will be doubled by then, which can calm the nerves.
The money from Shopkeeper Chu and Doctor Xue is equivalent to a drop of water in the ocean and is not worth mentioning. However, the official silver and private property in the county magistrate's treasury can relieve the atmosphere.
Generally speaking, there is still a lot of money in space, but the food is far from enough. However, the food production areas in each place are limited, and it is impossible for her to buy them all, leaving nothing for the people. There are also coastal sea people who accept more.
Food is exchanged for seafood, resulting in food coming in and out...
Tang Zangyue pinched her eyebrows.
Shopkeeper Chu: "Doctor Tang doesn't seem very happy about this trip?"
Tang Zangyue forced a smile, "No, I just thought of a lot of things and was tired from the journey."
"Doctor Tang is so capable. It's really hard work. Let's go back and have a good rest this time."
Tang Zangyue smiled slightly: "It's time to have a good rest."
Jiuli Village received the news about Shopkeeper Chu's servants in advance. Aunt Liu closed the town's restaurants for a few days today. She boiled water in advance, poured it into the water tank of the small kitchen room, mixed it with cold water, and asked Xiao Zhongli to add some hot water from time to time.
Go in to prevent the water from getting cold and making the old lady uncomfortable while taking a bath.
Aunt Liu herself sat in front of the stove, cooking a few home-cooked dishes and setting a table full of them. She would take them to the kitchen to heat up from time to time.
While looking at the food, she asked Xiao Zhonglu who was sitting on the wall courtyard: "Is the old lady back?"
"No, wait a minute."
Not only Aunt Liu, Xiao Yuenong, Xiao Ling'er and several other carrots were also waiting on the gravel road in the front yard, eagerly awaiting her arrival.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally heard Xiao Zhonglu’s voice, saying: “Come, come, come back!”
Xiao Jinhuan threw away the medicine hoe in his hand and quickly followed a group of carrots to the courtyard gate. As expected, he saw a heroic figure galloping on a horse towards the Xiao family courtyard gate.
Getting closer, getting closer...
Yes.
It’s their homeless, gray-haired grandmother/mother!
When they got close, Tang Zangyue tightened the reins and turned over to dismount. The reins were taken by Xiao Zhonglu, and a figure jumped towards his thigh.
"Grandma, Linger misses you."
Even though she was covered in dust, Sister Ling kept rubbing her little face against her thigh. This made Xiao Yuenong, who was running behind, want to hug Tang Zangyue's other thigh, but Tang Zangyue had to cross her arms.
Open it and squat down to get even rain and dew.
As for the twins, they have no share.
Xiao Zhonglu looked at the scene and had no idea where to start, so he had to take the reins and go to the stable to settle the horse.
Xiao Jinhuan looked at Tang Zangyue who had returned and secretly wiped away tears. He didn't even dare to move forward. Aunt Liu, on the other hand, moved the two girls away and said, "Okay, it's time for the old lady to get tired. You let the old lady
Let’s take a shower first, eat something, and get ready for sleep. We’ll talk about anything tomorrow.”
Xiao Yuenong quickly let go of his hand and said: "Yes, yes, yes, mother, hurry up and wash the dust. My second brother has boiled hot water in the small kitchen room early and adds water to the water tank from time to time. He is just waiting for you to come back."
"Why, you still know everything about me when I come back?" Tang Zangyue wondered.
Xiao Yuenong burst into tears and smiled, "It was shopkeeper Chu who sent someone to report the news first. If you don't prepare hot water early, mother, you will have to wait for some time. Shopkeeper Chu thought that if the family knew the news of your return early, you should also come early.
Get rid of fatigue."
"He's very thoughtful."
When Tang Zangyue came out of the bathroom, she felt that she had washed away several kilograms of mud and water, and her whole body felt much more relaxed.
Feeling light, I finally came back and saw Brother Li.
She raised her hand and patted the other person's shoulder and said, "I'm taller, but I'm also thinner."
Xiao Zhongli tried to force out a smile, but the forced expression always seemed nondescript. After a moment, he gave up on forcing a smile and said, "Grandma also told me that you have lost weight even more."
Tang Zangyue pinched the flesh on his face and said suspiciously, "Really? Then we'll have to eat more later."
The table is filled with her favorite dishes.
Her cooking skills are average, but her mouth is similar to that of a Taotie, and she can taste subtle differences.
"Is this with chili pepper added?" she asked in surprise.
Tang Zangyue fiddled with the dishes. Although it was a bit rude, the dishes on this table were all prepared for her. It was already past dinner time, and everyone else was sitting around, watching her eat.
Tang Zangyue finally found chopped chili peppers among the dishes, "It's really chili peppers."
Aunt Liu explained with a smile: "According to your instructions, some of the peppers were picked when they matured in early June. Some were dried and put in the cellar. Some of them were made into bean paste and chopped pepper paste. Not to mention, they were added to
The taste of the dishes is indeed stronger than that of soybean paste, especially when cooking meat.”
Tang Zangyue informed Aunt Liu in advance how to make bean paste and chopped pepper paste.
She never doubted Aunt Liu's craftsmanship.
Tang Zangyue nodded, "Yes, it tastes good. Let the remaining peppers and spices be picked by the family's long-term workers. Some will be kept for seed, and some will be kept for home consumption."
"Aren't you going to sell this in restaurants?"
Tang Zangyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "If we don't have enough food at home, how can we sell it in restaurants? But we can rent some land from the village and plant these spices to expand our harvest."
Xiao Zhongli nodded, "I know my grandmother, and I will make arrangements for the follow-up."
Tang Zangyue was really tired, and no one at the dinner table spoke anymore.
She finished eating in silence, feeling tired, so she went back to the bedroom and lay down. Within a few seconds she fell into a deep sleep, snoring lightly.
In June, the temperature gradually warmed up, and the coastal areas and Sichuan were still awake, especially those sleeping on the kang in the north. Tang Zangyue did not sleep well. She woke up several times and was woken up by the heat of sweat.
Unable to hold back his sleepiness, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
When Sister Zhang came to the door, she saw that Tang Zangyue was weak after a "serious illness" and couldn't help but persuade her: "I know that you opened the school shed to make a bet with the midwife. This is also a blessing."
We are ordinary people, but no matter what happens, old madam, you have to take care of your own health. If your body is exhausted and you don't feel bad about it, your grandchildren should also feel bad about it."
