Lin dahai carried the last bag of rice grains into the storeroom, wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and turned around to see his chubby little daughter sitting on the grinder, kicking her little feet. Thinking of the autumn harvest in the past, it was so easy this year. It saved him a lot of strength, so he was happy. He reached out and patted his daughter's head. He smiled and said," my Jiao Jiao is the smartest and the luckiest! "
Jiao Jiao shook her little head and rubbed her father's big hand. Her eyes were smiling like crescents, and she was proud and proud." Of course, dad. I will definitely make you and your family more happy in the future! "
"Well, father's daughter is the most filial! "
Lin dahai picked up his daughter and put her on his shoulder." Let's go home and eat some new rice." "
"Oh, new rice! "
Jiao Jiao clapped his hands and called out to the yawning brothers," brother, let's go, let's eat! "
"Coming, coming! "
The whole family chatted and laughed, locked the door, and returned to the quad.
In the quad, the snow-white rice had already come out of the pot. The unique aroma of the new rice slowly dissipated, causing everyone to move their noses and reveal a smiling face.
Feng shi ordered hua hua to send a basin to Mr. Yao and then called for his family to eat.
The children usually have breakfast in the school, it is rare that today's breakfast table is so complete.
Therefore, feng shi made breakfast for dinner. Not only did he steam the new rice, he also cooked four dishes and stewed a pot of soup with ribs and winter melon.
Lin baoer and the other boys waited for the old man to open his chopsticks and began to dig up the rice. Just as they swallowed, they praised," this rice is really delicious! "
Lin dahai also nodded, but feng shi spoke straightforwardly and replied," I' m eating it. It's not as fragrant as the rice that Jiao Jiao took out, but it tastes better than the japonica rice bought in the city. The main reason is that it tastes thicker and softer than the rice in the city. It doesn' t taste good when it's steamed out of the dried rice that we bought in the city. "
Dong shi, zhou xinxiu, and liu shi also agreed. They smiled and said," maybe they really think their food is better than the rice in the south. "
Jiao Jiao had eaten two small bowls in a row and felt that the rice was really good. She wondered if she could use her brain to help them get some benefits.
The old man happened to think the same way. Grandfather and grandson looked at each other and laughed ...
Tuan tuan was sitting in the lin family's home, enjoying his new rice.
In the barracks outside the capital city, ye lan brought her soldiers to train. Usually, she held a spear that resembled a straw root in her hand, but today, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
After a long time, he finally managed to get through the training. As soon as he entered the tent, madman kicked him." Where did you go last night, kid?" Did you go to the city to look for a flower girl? Look at how tired you are. You are so weak and weak. At this time, any enemy on the battlefield can chop your head off! "
Ye lan was extremely depressed after being scolded. Although she had never done farm work before, it wasn' t difficult for him to think about it. He didn' t expect to experience the hardships of the peasants firsthand. He only said that taking off the rice grains was much more tiring than practicing martial arts.
Fortunately, it was a few acres of land in the space. Jiao Jiao dealt with it every time he waved his hand. Otherwise, he would have to be a deserter in the future.
Not to mention how ye lan had experienced the hardships of the peasants, she only said that after the old and young master of the lin family had their meal, Jiao Jiao asked her brother to take an hour off for him. Then, she sat under the tree with her grandfather and the two of them discussed it.
"Grandfather, do you think it's a pity to sell the rice that you' ve bought this year at the market price or pay the grain tax?" "
As the old man continued to smoke, he nodded and said," yes, this rice is indeed better than the rice from the south. If it is sold to a grain merchant who knows the goods, the price will be at least 20 % higher. These twenty percent didn' t sound like much, but two mu of land could be sold for two or three more taels of silver. "
"I thought, this rice tastes good, half because the climate and the earth force here are different from the south, and the rice is produced in space. Logically speaking, planting sorghum and millet, and when they were sick, there was nothing wrong with this year's rice. From planting to harvesting, it was extremely smooth. It was strange no matter what.
But it's not too late to think about it. Grandpa or send a message to brother hua, inquire whether this year is tax grain or tax money? If it's the tax money, there's a chance it'll be taken care of. "
Jiao Jiao took the flint and lit a cigarette for her grandfather. However, she could not use the flint well. She did not light it for a long time, so she frowned and took out a lighter from her space. It was very easy to light the cigarette.
The old man was shocked by the sudden fire in his granddaughter's hands. Before he could ask anything, xue rong, who was guarding the entrance of the courtyard, shouted," old master, young miss, Mr. Zhou is here! "
Jiao Jiao quickly got up and walked up to him. He held zhou shanchang's arm and asked with a smile," grandpa zhou, I' ve already asked for leave. You actually came to catch me personally? "
Zhou shanchang laughed heartily at the little girl's teasing. He cupped his hands in salute with old master lin and replied," you lass, you can read books for three days and catch fish for two days. Senior brother can' t do anything about you. I won' t bother you. "
Jiao Jiao recalled that the family was busy with farming these days and the space was filled with all sorts of planning and construction. Indeed, she always asked for leave, so she blushed a little. However, she still defended herself in a low voice." I' ve finished all the homework grandpa yao assigned. "
"I won' t help you resolve this case. "
Zhou shanchang waved his hand. He did not find it dirty. He also sat on the stone bench beside the millboard and said to the old man," old hero, I tasted the new rice in the morning. Perhaps you planted it once a year and watered the cold water. The taste of the new rice is much better than the rice in the south. It would be a pity to sell it at the market price as ordinary rice.
There were hundreds of teachers and students in our academy, and we used a lot of rice every year. Naturally, there were some connections between the grain merchants. If the old hero wanted to stand up for the villagers to make more progress, I would write back and let the disciples look for grain merchants. "
Hearing this, old master lin's face lit up with a smile." Chief, I' m not going to lie to you. I' m talking to Jiao Jiao about this. Everyone worked hard for a year to grow rice out, can sell more money, naturally is a good thing. I thought about it, let dahe in the city to ask the price of grain merchants, and then brother hua to check the county government, the best tax this year, so have a letter of confidence, can tell you, otherwise we are looking forward to, if nothing else, I am afraid we will be disappointed. "
"It turns out that your family has a plan, but I was too talkative. Zhou shanchang was somewhat surprised by the lin family's sharpness. He smiled and said," if you can use my place, you still have to open your mouth." "
"Don' t say that, chief. I' ll thank you for your concern." These are small things, and we can do it at home. When something big happens in the future, you must ask for help from the mountain. Now, it was just selling rice, but the news spread out that qingming of the mountain chief was tainted with a stench of copper. Even if everyone sold more money, they felt bad about it. "
