Chapter 37, Buying Grain

Jiang Yan got up early the next day. As soon as he finished exercising in the yard, he saw Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing, Yan Bugui and other immortals walking in with their children.

Boss, where have you been these past few days? Every time I come to see you, grandma says you are resting and don’t want us to disturb you. She will look for you when you wake up, and then you go out again. I just saw Jiang Yan and He Yuzhu.

He ran over first.

That’s right, boss, you haven’t told us a story for several days and we all miss you.

During this time, Jiang Yan rested during the day and went out to do errands at night, but he neglected the children in the yard.

However, when Jiang Yan looked at these children, he also noticed that they had a certain look on their faces, especially the children from the Yanbu Gui family who had just arrived.

The family status of all the families in this courtyard is also divided into three, six or nine levels.

Apart from my own family, the ones who lived the best life were the He family, the Yi family and the Xu family.

He Daqing did not brag. His Tan family cuisine was indeed unique. Jiang Yan, who had tasted many delicacies in later generations, had to give it a thumbs up after eating it.

Jiang Yan even invited He Daqing to cook Tan's dishes from time to time in the name of inviting others to dinner. Of course, most of these dishes were received by Jiang Yan in his space.

The cooking methods of Tan's cuisine are mainly roasting, stewing, simmering, cooking and steaming. Tan's cuisine is "good at making dry food" and "good at cooking sea delicacies with high soup and long fire".

After knowing this, Jiang Yan asked He Daqing to cook a lot of stock. The kitchen on the second floor of the small building in Jiang Yan's space had a lot of stock stored in it.

Jiang Yan has also experimented. When cooking, adding some of this stock will make ordinary stir-fry dishes delicious and nutritious.

Although He Daqing does not work in a regular restaurant, he is basically the one who comes to weddings and funerals around here. From time to time, Jiang Yan can see him coming back with a few lunch boxes for toothpaste. It can be said that life is still very good, including in this courtyard.

Number one.

Yi Zhonghai is a fitter who works in Lou's Steel Factory and earns a good salary. He and his wife are the only two people in the family, so their life is naturally good.

If your guess is correct, this building-style steel mill was later the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Not to mention the Xu family, Xu Fugui is good at showing movies, his wife is still working as a servant in the Lou family, and she is very tactful, so the family background is also very good.

Liu Haizhong of the Liu family works in a building steel factory like Yi Zhonghai, but the salary is not as high as that of Yi Zhonghai. Although his family background is not as good as those of these three companies, Liu Zhonghai can't help but like to stand out and do everything well.

The Chinese people seem to have the awareness of joining a group to keep warm, so the same is true in this courtyard. Therefore, in this courtyard, a situation has been vaguely formed with the Yi family, the Liu family, the He family and the Xu family as the main ones. This has also initially formed the formation of the three families that will come later.

A model dominated by an uncle.

Now that these people came together, Jiang Yan knew that they should have something to do with him.

As expected, He Daqing kicked He Yuzhu with his foot, and as he went, he knew how to play. When can you grow up like others? Go over there and play, don't delay our work.

At this time, Jiang Yan also said to He Yuzhu and the others, go play in the courtyard! I will tell your father something.

Children, go and eat these things. At this time, Grandma Lu came out with a plate of pastries and greeted He Yuzhu and the others.

Seeing this plate of snacks, everyone including the adults swallowed their saliva.

However, although these children wanted to eat, they still lined up to get snacks from Grandma Lu. While getting the snacks, they did not forget to thank Grandma Lu.

Almost every child who got snacks, Grandma Lu gave them a slap on the head.

Uncle He, you have something to do with me. After the children left, Jiang Yan looked at He Daqing and asked.

When these words came out, Jiang Yan could clearly see that He Daqing's face turned red, and several other people were also a little embarrassed.

Xiaoyan, can you go into the room and talk? Yi Zhonghai next to He Daqing said.

Yes, yes, it’s a kid, isn’t it? Uncle Yi, Uncle He, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Xu please come in quickly.

After they entered the room and sat down, Yi Zhonghai spoke.

Xiaoyan, we came to you to ask for your help with something.

Uncle Yi, just ask if it's something you can do.

As soon as Jiang Yan's words came out, the room suddenly became much quieter.

At this time, Grandma Lu broke the calm. She said, if you are embarrassed to say anything, it is all neighbors. Just say it! I can make the decision for my grandson, and he will definitely do whatever he can do.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai said, Old lady, this is not it. Alas, after saying this half sentence, a look of shame appeared on his face.

Xu Fugui, who was standing next to him, said, "Originally, this is not something that Xiaoyan should worry about. It's not that we have no choice but to ask Xiaoyan to find a solution."

It's such a small talk. You also know that this street is not peaceful. Many things are hot commodities, especially this grain. These days, the big grain stores not only have limited time but also limited quantities, and they don't accept gold yuan coupons. In our yard

Several households had run out of food. We wondered if there was any way to get some food since Xiaoyan and his family didn't walk around the streets very often.

But don’t worry, old lady, you won’t embarrass Xiao Yan. This is money collected by several people in our yard. After saying that, He Daqing, who was following behind them, took out a small bag and poured the contents directly on the table.

Jiang Yan took a look at the things poured out of the bag. There were some ocean, silver cents, copper coins and various gold and silver jewelry. The jewelry was of different qualities, and it looked like they were made together.

Uncles, I don’t know what you want to change. Jiang Yan said when he saw this.

Stick noodles, sweet potatoes, any grain is fine.

Okay, no problem, I will take these things to you tonight.

Each family adds two kilograms of white flour and half a kilogram of meat. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. These things will be used as New Year gifts from us. There are not many things. We will make a meal of dumplings during the Chinese New Year. At this time, Grandma Lu intervened.

This, this, old lady, you are spending too much money.

That is, we are very grateful that you can collect gold yuan coupons as rent, but it is not appropriate to take these things now.

Yes! It’s inappropriate, old lady, you’d better take it back!

He Daqing and others tried to persuade Grandma Lu.

And Grandma Lu said with a serious face, "Old lady, there is no reason why I haven't taken back the things I gave you. Just take them if I tell you. There aren't many things. It's just my thoughts, old lady. Let's get through this difficulty together."

The days will get better and better.

Is this the case? The old lady Yan Bugui asked cautiously.

It will be like this. Just listen to my old lady, we must guard our courtyard for a while. If everyone works together, all difficulties will pass. Everything will be fine.

After being encouraged by Grandma Lu, Jiang Yan found that the look in everyone's eyes seemed to have returned a little.

At this time, Jiang Yan was worried about the old lady. There were many smart people in this courtyard, but Grandma Lu's words were a bit taboo. If someone reported her, the consequences would be disastrous.

Dear uncles, as long as you know what the old lady said, don't wear it outside, otherwise you will be in trouble.

If you let me know that someone is spreading rumors, you will know the consequences.

After saying this, Jiang Yan took off the slingshot in his hand, took out a small iron ball from his pocket, aimed it at the old locust tree in the yard, and hit it. A hole the size of a thumb appeared on the trunk.

Everyone took a breath of cold air when they saw the hole in the tree trunk.
