Bai Anyan lowered his head, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to crawl in. No one was on his side. Thinking about it, it was really his fault.
"...Yes, please remember this, son."
After pressing down the naughty Bai Anyan, Xiao Si rubbed his hands and looked at Bai Yunxi with excitement.
"In my opinion, when is the best time for us to sell grain?"
It is best to sell when the price of food is the highest and make a lot of money directly, so that their big house will be guaranteed.
Seeing Xiao Si gearing up, Bai Yunxi couldn't hold it back and laughed. To be honest, Xiao Si is a pretty good kid and knows what he wants.
"There is no rush at the moment. Let's wait and see for a few days to see if news of the war will come through. But now is definitely not the best time to sell food."
At present, the surrounding farmers are gathering together to sell grain, and the price cannot be raised.
"Okay, let's listen to mother and wait and see what happens."
Xiaosi nodded with burning eyes, turned to look at Xiaowu,
"You are a scholar, you know more, and your brain is more flexible than ours. At this critical moment, you should worry more so as not to miss the best time."
Listening to Xiao Si's compliments, Xiao Wu's eyes didn't even change. Although they were both twins, their personalities were completely different. If I could say a few nice things about him today, it was like the sun had risen from the west.
"If you want to get the latest news, you should work harder these days and go to town more often."
Whenever news of a war spread, it was impossible to hide it.
"This is a good idea." Xiaosi turned to Baiyunxi, looking eager to try, "Mom, why don't you leave this job to me? I promise to complete the task."
After listening to Xiao Si's volunteering, Bai Yunxi thought for a moment, but considering the current situation, he didn't object.
"You and Du Shun are good friends. It's okay to go and inquire with him. The owner of Zheng He Restaurant is not an ordinary person. Manager Du may also have news."
"Mom, that's what I mean. Based on my friendship with Du Shun, if he knows something, he will definitely not hide it from me."
Xiaosi rubbed his chin, his eyes sparkling,
"If Steward Du got the news, he would definitely have the family stockpile rations early. Relatives say that the more people who get the news, the faster the news will spread.
After discussing it for a long time, we finally decided on it.
Leave the errands to Xiaosi and ask him to keep an eye on the situation in the town and come back as soon as possible to report the situation once food prices rise.
They stay at home and are always ready to go to town to sell grain and make money at any time.
Sure enough, on the fourth day of Xiaosi's trip to town, he finally received the news about rising food prices.
The kid felt like he had hot wheels growing under his feet, racing all the way home, "Mom, the price of food has gone up."
Baiyunxi asked Du to pour him a glass of water, "Sit down, take a breath, and speak slowly, don't be hasty for a moment."
Xiaosi took the bowl, raised his head and drank it, raised his hand to wipe his mouth,
"Mom, not only did Uncle Du say that the news about the war was accurate today, I also saw the Yamen's servants in the town. I heard that they were dispatched directly by the county magistrate."
"Shunzi and I kept guarding opposite the town government office until Zhang Baozheng sent the servants away in person, then we complained to the people around us that the time was too short."
"Shunzi happened to have an acquaintance in the town government office, so he sneaked in to inquire about the situation, and then he found out that those few servants came to deliver documents, which were documents to supervise taxation. They said they must be delivered to the granary within seven days, and any delay would be punished."
Listening to Xiaosi's narration, the whole family was very excited.
