My whole family traveled through time with the golden finger

In Tinglan Courtyard, Xu Yinyin was not surprised to hear what the little girl said.

Everyone invited Zhuangzi up. If Mr. Cheng still can't find the rice fields that are growing obviously and happily, it can only be said that he is out of luck.

In this way, she still has a backup plan. She can only wait for the harvest later, and then design to spread some rumors to attract attention.

But in this way, it is no better than others taking the initiative to come and pay attention to the matter.

And if Master Cheng can personally watch the harvest, the effect will naturally be better.

It was very good now, and she could leave with peace of mind.

Mr. Cheng knows this and will not be unmindful of it.

Mr. Cheng was not only interested, he was so excited that he couldn't let it go. It was getting late when he returned home that day, so he regained consciousness and suppressed it for the time being.

But early the next morning, he took a carriage and went straight to Xicheng.

When he arrived in Xicheng, he was not in a hurry to find Maoji Grain Store. He first asked his servants to go around and inquire about Maoji Grain Store.

Since it is a grain store in Xicheng, people walking around in Xicheng must be familiar with it. Let me ask first without delaying the matter.

But not long after, the servant came back and replied: "Master, I asked many people, but they all said they didn't know about Maoji Grain Store-"

Ok?
Mr. Cheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid you happened to ask someone who came to visit Xicheng. You should ask the people who live in Xicheng."

The servant said: "I asked, but the other party couldn't explain clearly."

That's weird.

Xicheng is not big even if it is said to be big. It makes no sense that no one knows about even a grain store.

Three quarters of an hour later, Mr. Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the Maoji Grain Store in front of him, finally understanding why some of the people he asked said they didn't know clearly.

This Maoji Grain Shop is really out of the way. It is not in the market, but in an alley. It must have been a residential household that expanded the front house to build a shop.

It was said to be a shop, but this shop didn't even have a decent signboard. There was just a cloth banner hung at the door with the word "food" crookedly written on it.

If he wasn't from nearby, who would have known that there was a grain store here?

Such a remote grain store, the head of the village in Jiacheng County Zhuangzi can find it to buy grain seeds. This is really fate.

Mr. Cheng took a deep breath and walked towards the simple shop.

Mao Shangui was sitting behind a long counter that was either a counter or a counter, taking a nap. He was snoring loudly and rhythmically, as if he was playing the erhu.

If a blind man came in, he might think someone was playing the erhu.

Mr. Cheng looked around and saw that there was no one else in the shop except this person. There was a curtain next to the counter, which obviously led to the back. He could vaguely hear voices behind him, but it was probably a female family member, so he didn't want to disturb him.

Then he looked around first.

The location of this grain store is just off the beaten path, and the furnishings inside are not as comprehensive as those of the grain stores outside. There are some sacks on the shelves, and I don’t know what they are.

Looking around, I really can't tell that this is a grain store.

"Store? Store?" After looking at it, Mr. Cheng walked into the counter and called out.

Mao Shangui stared and heard someone shouting. He raised his head and looked forward. When he saw Mr. Cheng in front of him, he suddenly woke up and said, "Oh, I didn't greet you well, I didn't greet you well. Should I buy rice or vegetables to grow these?" "

Master Cheng also came from a farming background. He has always been frugal. Apart from official uniforms, he usually wears ordinary fine cotton clothes. He has no official airs, so at first glance, he is just an ordinary old man. .

Mao Shangui has good eyesight, but he can't see anything else.

Master Cheng said: "Do you have any grain seeds for sale? I want to take a look." Grain seeds?

Mao Shangui's first reaction was to wonder, it's the grain harvest season now, who is buying grain seeds now? It's too late this year, but it's still early next year.

Then he thought of something and couldn't help but glance at Mr. Cheng quickly.

"Yes! Dad, please wait a moment!"

As he said that, he squatted down and dug under the cabinet.

Master Cheng waited for a while and then saw someone standing up and holding a small cloth bag.

"Old man, I only have this little grain left in my shop. If you want them all, I will sell them all to you at a cheaper price!"

The cloth bag was spread out, and Mr. Cheng grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully.

This grain.
It seemed a little different from the grains he had seen before.
He couldn't tell exactly what was different, but he just felt it was different.

"Seller, where do you get this grain from? Who has bought grain from you this year?"

Mao Shangui opened his mouth and said: "Oh, don't mention it. I collected this grain from someone else. At that time, he said that his grain was very good and produced more grain than other grains. In short, it was so exciting that I This person just can't stand the encouragement of others. No, as soon as he got hot-headed, he bought them all!

I regretted it so much afterwards!He praised this grain well, it was a full ten cents more expensive than other grains!
What I bought is so expensive, I can't sell it at a loss, right?But it’s so much more expensive than others, who would be willing to buy it?When this happened, I thought I wouldn't make any money, so I sold it at the original price, but it was still more expensive than others and I couldn't sell it.

Fortunately, I have a cousin from a distant place who works as a long-term laborer in a village outside the city. I heard that the owner of this village wanted to buy grain seeds, so I boasted about Grandma Wang selling melons, thinking that I would sell them just in case. He went out, not to mention, for the sake of my little nephew's cousin, the village head actually bought grain seeds!
Only half of it was sold and gone, and I was left with so much. It has been piled here for several months and is almost infested with insects. Dad, if you can buy them all, I will give them to you at a cheaper price! "

He gritted his teeth as he spoke, looking very pained, "It's just one penny more than other grain stores! I won't make any profit either! It's just a matter of selling it."

Master Cheng listened and thought to himself that this was a really unscrupulous businessman. He couldn't sell anything anymore and he was still worried about making a profit or losing money.

Then Zhuangzi should be talking about Balizhuang, right?
It turns out that this is the inside story. The farmer looked pretty good, but I never thought that he was also a dim-witted person. I bought it after hearing other people say that the grain was good. It didn’t matter whether it was expensive or not, it was the owner’s money anyway. right?

He thought that he should remind Uncle Zhongyi later that this village leader should not deceive his superiors and do anything to deceive his master.

However, it is precisely because the village head bought this grain that the rice fields in Balizhuang are growing so well this year, right?

Thinking like this, Mr. Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Who is the person who sold you the grain seeds? Can you find him?"

Speaking of this, Mao Shangui Liuyi pounded the table, very excited, "I also want to know where to find this damn thing! When I came back, I regretted it and wanted to return it, but I couldn't find anyone after searching for a long time. That person's accent was not from the capital. He sounded like he was from Bingzhou or Anzhou. He had been wandering around the capital for a long time carrying such a load of grain, but I, the unlucky guy, fell into his trap! "

After saying that, he realized that his hand hurt from clapping, and he was afraid of scaring away the old man in front of him, so he hurriedly squeezed out his wrinkles and said: "Um, old man, I am really good at growing up. I won't lie to you." , you just bought it, right?"

Mr. Cheng is not stupid, and he really wouldn't be fooled by anything else, but he came here just for this grain, just as the shop owner wanted.

"Okay, I bought them all."

Mao Shangui was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't stop smiling. He collected the money and diligently carried the bag to deliver to Mr. Cheng's door.

Master Cheng took his servants outside, so there was no need for him to send them away. He smiled, and before going out, he couldn't help but look back, telling Mao Shangui that if he saw the grain seller again in the future, he would definitely come and let him know.

Mao Shangui agreed, watched the people leave and went outside the alley, then turned back and went in.

Well, you can earn 50 taels of silver just by talking about it, and you’ll be fine if you do more in the future!
What's more, Manager Na Tian also introduced his two daughters-in-law to work in the Xu family's workshop.

In the Xu family workshop, wages are high, people are polite during the New Year, the work is not tiring, and the management is kind. Such a job is hard to find in the entire capital!

Most importantly, I heard that it was the workshop of Uncle Zhongyi’s Mansion!

In disguise, his daughter-in-law is working for Uncle Zhongyi's house!
Let this be known, their family is very respectable in this area!
