Eight hundred and eighty-three: Selling grain is suspected
The two people looked at each other sternly, but they made up their minds that they would never allow this to happen again.
Zhang Yu didn't know the reaction of the two of them after he left. He had just arrived home and before he had time to enter the house, he was grabbed by Feng Laoliu. Also grabbed with him was Zheng Gou who went home to get something.
son.
Feng Laoliu seemed to have been hit by something, exuding an indescribable aura of decadence.
His eyes were red and he smelled of alcohol. You could tell just from the way he was walking. Even if he was not guilty, he was probably tipsy.
He grabbed Zhang Yu and Zheng Gouzi and murmured slightly vaguely: "Talk to me for a while, I've made some good food, good food, big food. You will definitely like it. Come and drink with me."
Two glasses.”
Looking at Feng Laoliu who was not sure whether he was awake or not, Zheng Gouzi and Zhang Yu looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
Neither of them continued to exert any force, but followed Feng Laoliu's tugging force and followed him back to the house.
Except for the three of them, no one else in the Feng family is here.
Zhang Yu knew this, except for a few people who were at work, Feng Laosan and Feng Laosan were married to girls who had escaped with their families during the flood that year.
In order to survive and to keep their families alive, many of these girls married into the capital like Feng Laosan and Feng Laosan's wives.
After the flood receded, the government stepped in and sent those who fled back to their hometowns.
Among them, Feng Lao San and Feng Lao San's daughter-in-law's natal family also decided to go back together.
As for the two girls, even though they were reluctant to part with them, they were already married after all, so naturally they could not go back together.
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed.
The sisters have not seen their parents again for more than two years.
Both sisters are very homesick. In addition, the past two years have been bad and people are starving to death everywhere. The sisters are very worried about their families.
Boss Feng became a little worried when he saw that his wife was always depressed recently. After asking the reason, he took advantage of the Chinese New Year and took a few days off from the factory to take his wife back to his hometown to see his parents and brothers.
sisters.
Firstly, it would relieve his wife's homesickness, and secondly, he could see how his father-in-law and mother-in-law were doing. If they really couldn't survive, he and the third son-in-law would have to do their best.
It's too much to get out, but with Boss Feng's ability, he can still get some food.
Although it's not much, it can solve an urgent need.
Originally, these grains were stored in advance after he realized that something was not right. They were originally intended for emergency use by the people at home and in the courtyard. However, he did not expect that before he could take action, someone would take a step ahead.
Use a middleman to sell part of the grain to people in the yard.
That time, as residents of the yard, the Feng family also bought some.
Boss Feng realized that after the people in the yard had this batch of food, even if they were not full, they would still be hungry if they ate sparingly, so he did not take out the prepared batch of food.
Boss Feng has been thinking about who the person behind the scenes is, but he is very sure of one thing, that is, the person behind the scenes is kind to the people in the yard.
After all, in this day and age, the importance of food goes without saying.
Anyone who can sell food to the residents of the courtyard at a price lower than the black market price at this time is simply everyone's lifesaver.
Regarding this, Boss Feng had some doubts. The person behind the scenes might be someone in their courtyard.
In order to verify his conjecture, Mr. Feng checked several nearby yards in a roundabout way and found that they had not purchased the grain from the middleman.
After the middleman sold the grain to people in their yard, he disappeared.
It seemed that the middleman appeared just to sell food to the people in their courtyard.
This made him have to suspect that someone in the courtyard knew that the weather was wrong through some way, and then stockpiled a batch of food in advance, and when the disaster happened, he sold it to the residents in the courtyard at a low price.
Regarding this point, Boss Feng initially guessed that it was Zheng Gouzi, because he was the only one in the courtyard who was involved in the black market and had access to ways to buy large quantities of grain.
But what he discovered later made him dispel his doubts.
The grain he bought from Zheng Gouzi was completely different from what the people in the courtyard bought.
The quality of the grains that Zheng Gouzi delivers is so good, and most of them are fine grains. Even if the two are not compared side by side, the difference can be easily seen.
Later he had doubts again...
At this time, Zhang Yu, who was watching Feng Laoliu running to the kitchen to serve food with a wry smile, didn't know that someone took notice of the fact that he sold food to the people in the courtyard through an intermediary.
Although I haven't guessed anything about him, I can already guess the general things.
It's a pity that Zhang Yu didn't know anything. He was dumbfounded when he saw the plate of small stones brought out by Feng Laoliu.
Before he could express his shock, Zheng Gouzi spoke first: "You, you, you...this is the big dish you are talking about. You don't want us to eat stones because you can't stand us, right?"
Feng Laoliu looked at Zheng Gouzi and curled his lips, as if he didn't know anything about it: "What a stone, what you said is too unpleasant, it's called Sui Diu'er, it's a famous dish in Hubei."
Zheng Gouzi looked at the pebbles on the plate, then looked at Feng Laoliu, his face full of suspicion: "Is there something wrong with you or me? This is obviously a pebble, which means that he is also a pebble.
"
"Sui Diu, this is Sui Diu, okay?" Feng Laoliu shouted unconvinced.
Seeing the two of them quarreling over the dish, Zhang Yu quickly stepped forward to stop it.
While comforting Feng Laoliu and praising him for his good cooking, he explained to Zheng Gouzi in a low voice: "Brother Zheng, he is right, this is really a famous dish. In the past, some people couldn't afford the food.
For wine, I found stones and fried them..."
After listening to Zhang Yu's explanation, Zheng Gouzi's suspicions were gone, but it was still a little hard to understand: "How do you eat this with wine?"
"Eat it while you swipe it, finish swiping the seasoning on the stone, and then spit it out."
While Zhang Yu was explaining to Zheng Gouzi, Feng Laoliu, who had been comforted, sat on the table, opened the wine in front of him, looked up at Zhang Yu and the others, and asked: "Come here quickly, let's go
Let’s eat something together.”
After Zhang Yu and Zheng Gouzi sat down, he first poured a glass of wine for Zheng Gouzi. When it was Zhang Yu's turn, Zhang Yu shook his head and declined his invitation to drink.
Although drinking less alcohol will not cause any harm to the body, one thing is that the body is not yet an adult, so if you can do it without drinking, try not to drink.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what may happen. If it is really because of drinking that your body is delayed, then he will really cry!
