Chapter 266

Are all new rices so white and delicious?
Ye Jindou thought about it carefully. Before his family's accident happened, his family also worked hard in farming, and they could eat new rice every year.

For two years, because the family didn't have enough food after paying the tax, his father went to the town to buy it twice.

But when he thought about it, he realized, no, not all new rice is so white, fragrant and chewy.

Now this rice, chewing and chewing seems to be able to chew the unique rice sweetness of rice.

"No." Ye Jindou was sure, "It's the first time I have eaten such delicious food."

The previous new rice was not so white, and some of the husks were not cleaned very well.But the rice that Ruan Jiaoyan bought for them was extremely clean.

"That must be because Sister Jiaoyan bought it."

Ye Da said such a sentence quite naturally, and now he also feels that as long as it passes through Ruan Jiaoyan's hands, it is not surprising how good things are.

Apart from Ruan's family and Ye's family, there are several other families in the village who are talking about Ruan Jiaoyan.

After Zhou Mumu went back, he chopped up the pig grass, boiled it and fed it to the pig. Looking at his thin pig, he was a little worried. Seeing his sad face, his wife couldn't help but come over to persuade him.

"Forget it, let's take good care of the pigs."

"It's not easy to raise," Zhou Mutou sighed, looking at the two or three dilapidated houses in his house, and then at the half-circumscribed pig house, "It is said that there will be heavy snow this year. I can't hold it, and it's too cold here, so we don't have to freeze our pig to death."

He paused, "And the eldest of our family will have a kiss soon on the fifteenth day of next year. It was agreed to make him a new padded jacket for the New Year. He will be more energetic when we take him to visit relatives. Only by spreading the word can there be a market. Also, didn’t we both say that the second child was going to be sent to the city? My uncle finally found him an errand there, and he had to prepare a suit for him to go to the city. Here, why don’t you bring him some more money? You have to prepare some food for him on the way, our family doesn’t have much food.”

So, all of this has to be exchanged for this pig.

In addition, after paying taxes and food this year, their family didn't have much food left. The two and a half young men in the family, plus himself, had a lot to eat.

They need to get some money, buy some food and prepare it back. They are really afraid that there will be a snowstorm next, and it will be a disaster year.

At that time, the price of food will definitely have to increase.

Zhou Mutou has an uncle who lives in the city, and he feels that he has better knowledge and thinks farther.

His wife asked, "Then you asked the butcher in the town, how much does he charge for this pig?"

"Now the price is lowered, so let's say cents per catty."

Their pig is only a few hundred, probably less than a hundred and fifty, how much will it sell for?Never enough.

Only thirteen characters?

His daughter-in-law was also very distressed after hearing this.This pig, which has been raised with painstaking care, has been raised for more than a year before it can be exchanged for such a small amount of money.

"Then why don't you go to another village or another town to ask?"

"It's not worth it. It will take a day to travel far away. When the butcher doesn't come, you have to drive the pigs there by yourself. If something happens on the road, it will be over." Zhou Mutou said.

"actually--"

He hesitated.

"What do you want to say?" His wife also knew him well, and when she saw him like this, she felt that he had something to say.

"I have an idea, but it feels a bit absurd." Zhou Mumu lowered his voice, "I want to ask the girl of the Ruan family if she wants to buy our pig."

"what?"

His wife was shocked.

Are you crazy?Even if their pig is calculated at thirteen cents a catty, how come this pig costs nearly two pennies!

Can the eldest girl of the Ruan family come up with so much money?Even if she could afford so much money, would she be willing to spend it to buy a pig?

She stretched out her hand to her husband's forehead.

"Let me see if you're burned."

Zhou Mutou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I didn't burn it, really, you know that when I came back just now, I met the big girl of the Ruan family, right? She picked a very heavy basket, which probably weighed a hundred catties. You know Do I smell something?"

"What?"

"Rice fragrance." Zhou Mumu said with certainty, "It's really the aroma of rice, it's so fragrant."

"Really?" His wife's eyes widened in disbelief, "You mean she bought a hundred catties of rice back? It's still very fragrant? Is it new rice?"

"Right." Zhou Mutou nodded again, "So I think she might really be able to get the money to buy the pigs. I think so. I sold it to her for cents a catty, but she has to pay for it." Take another one hundred catties of grain as a cushion."

"How much is a hundred catties of grain! Can she be willing?"

"Aren't I just looking for it? Just ask if it's okay!" Zhou Mumu gritted his teeth, "You are a woman, so you can talk to her easily. You can ask her what she means tomorrow!"

He didn't know why after seeing Ruan Jiaoyan today, he always felt that dealing with Ruan Jiaoyan should be right.

Moreover, his nose is sharp, when Ruan Jiaoyan brushes past him, what comes out of the burden is the aroma of new rice.

Rice is fragrant, especially for those of them who are so hungry that their eyes are green.

"Then, I'll go out and ask, even if she makes fun of me."

The next morning, Mumu's daughter-in-law found Ruan Jiaoyan in the vegetable field where Zhou Laidi's house was now Ruan Jiaoyan's.

Early in the morning, Ruan Jiaoyan and Huanhuan went to work in the vegetable field, and today they were going to plant the seedlings separately.

Ruan Funian was still working at home weaving bamboo baskets. Ruan Weian got up early in the morning and ran slowly around the village twice, thinking about the contents of the book, and then went back to write and read.

Because Ruan Jiaoyan told him that poor health can hinder the way of the imperial examination.After Ruan Weian asked her opinion, she decided to get up early and jog twice every day.

As soon as the wooden daughter-in-law arrived in such a place and saw that the vegetables grew so well, she immediately believed her husband's words.

"Jiaoyan, Huanhuan, are you busy?"

Huanhuan saw her first, but she was at a loss as to who she was, and Ruan Jiaoyan couldn't remember either. She remembered Zhou Mutou, but not his wife.

Mu Mu's wife hurriedly said, "I'm Zhou Mu Mu's wife, please call me Aunt Mu Mu."

Zhou Mumu's wife!

"Good morning, Aunt Mu Mu." Ruan Jiaoyan greeted her, still feeling a little surprised, but soon guessed that Mu Mu's wife came to find her specially!Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence, Zhou Mutou, who was rarely met before, just met yesterday evening, and his wife appeared in front of her this morning.

She turned her mind around, could it be that she came here for the basket of things she picked yesterday?

"Jiaoyan, I have something I want to talk to you about."
