Chapter 57: Stocking up on food

"As long as Uncle Wang has a way to buy grain, it will be easy to store grain. Although my farmhouse has not been completed yet, the construction of the house has begun. I can let them build the granary first," Liu Xin said.

"I met with grain merchants from Yan State a few days ago. The price of millet from Yan State should be around 80 yen now. Spring plowing has just begun and the price of grain is still falling. It will be difficult to buy grain after two months when everyone notices the abnormality.

"Wang Qingxun said.

"Well, I'll trouble Uncle Wang. I'll get the grain as soon as possible after contacting the grain dealer. It's just that the transportation..."

"Don't worry about transportation. I'm familiar with the truck dealers in all counties in Yannan. If you pay 10 yuan more for every stone of grain, you can definitely transport it to Zhuo County. How much grain do you plan to buy?" Wang Qingxun looked at Liu Xin and asked.

"I can now spare 90,000 yuan, which should be enough to buy 1,000 shi of food." Liu Xin thought for a moment and said. He could think of another way to pay for Sun Carpenter's money, or postpone it. The new hospital in the north of the city should not be paid for now.

After building a house, the most important thing when a severe drought comes is food. Only when we have food will we have the right to speak.

"I still have 50,000 yuan here. If I can dispose of the cloth I have accumulated, I can still raise about 30,000 yuan." Wang Qingxun looked at Liu Xin and said.

Just as Wang Xiaohua came back from outside, she carried two kilograms of pork and a jar of wine by hand. When the two saw it, they stopped talking about hoarding food. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"Uncle Wang, I'm going home. There are some good things at home. You can try them later. I will help Xiaohua in cooking today," Liu Xin said.

"Go ahead!" Wang Qingxun looked at Liu Xin and said with a smile.

Liu Xin came to the kitchen and heard Wang Xiaohua humming a ditty. She was obviously in a good mood.

"What are you doing here? I'll do it soon!" Wang Xiaohua said to Liu Xinxiao.

"I'll make the meat today. Come and I'll show you something." Liu Xin said to Wang Xiaohua.

"What is it?" Wang Xiaohua turned her head and saw Liu Xin taking out a beautiful wooden box from her arms. She already guessed that it was the jewelry Liu Xin promised to her.

"I bought this in the east of the city. Do you like it?" Liu Xin opened the box, and Wang Xiaohua's eyes widened immediately.

"Gold bracelet, how much does it cost?" Wang Xiaohua asked distressedly.

"I said I'd buy you jewelry, as long as you like it. You steam the cakes first, and I'll go home to get the things. You wait for me to come back and fry the meat." Liu Xin said and left.

Wang Xiaohua took out the gold bracelet and put it on her hand, with a smile on her face. It was difficult for ordinary people to have gold jewelry. She was steaming cakes and touching her bracelet.

"What's the matter? You're smiling so happily!" Suddenly Wang Qingxun appeared behind Wang Xiaohua, startling Wang Xiaohua.

"Dad, look, Brother Liu Xing gave this to me!" Wang Xiaohua showed Wang Qingxun her new jewelry.

"If I give it to you, wear it and don't let others see it." Wang Qingxun said.

"I know, I will hide in my house later, waiting for me to get married..." Wang Xiaohua said nothing more. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at her father. She didn't even seem to know how to steam the steamed cakes.

When Liu Xin returned home, he saw that Ms. Cui had gone home to cook. The business in the store was pretty good today, and Liu's mother and sister Zhang Qingyu were busy enough.

Liu Xin told Mrs. Cui to take a message to Zhou Tai, take the money to the West Market Courtyard, and then send the family money to the shop and give it to Wang Qingxun.

When he returned to the room and silently thought about extracting the mission reward [Doubanjiang], he saw a large bucket of Doubanjiang appearing in front of him.

Opening the lid of the bucket, Liu Xin saw that the [Doubanjiang] was crystal clear and exuded a strong bean aroma. This Doubanjiang is made with a variety of condiments and is a good choice for stir-fries and stews.

Liu Xin found a small porcelain jar from home and filled it full. He opened the secret box in the corner and put the remaining bean paste in. Then he took out a five-spice beef jerky and a spicy beef jerky and looked inside.

There was only one spicy beef jerky left, and Liu Xin couldn't help but lament that the beef jerky was not enough.

Back at Wang Xiaohua's house, Wang Xiaohua had already steamed the cakes. Liu Xin found that most people outside Zhuoxian County ate cereal porridge, paste soup, vegetable dumplings, steamed buns and other foods, while there were more food in the city.

.

There are all kinds of cakes, sesame cakes, steamed cakes, pancakes, and scones. There are more vegetables and fruits than outside the city. In addition, the frequency of eating meat is much higher than outside the city, so their menu is very rich.

Liu Xin first cooked all the meat, then cut it into pieces and added bean paste to fry the twice-cooked pork. He believed that no one in the world had ever eaten this.

When Peng Chengzong came back, Wang Qingxun opened a wine jar and filled it for himself, and then poured half a bowl for Liu Xin and Peng Chengzong each.

Most of the wine during the Three Kingdoms period was rice wine. When Liu Xin tasted it, it had about ten degrees of alcohol. Liu Xin took a sip and it was rice wine.

The winery next to the Zhangjia Butcher Shop also belongs to the Zhangjia family. It usually sells rice wine. Among them, this rice wine is the most expensive. A jar of 5 kilograms costs 500 yuan. Liu Xin has been saving up for a long time to drink this rice wine.

The smell is very strong.

At the dinner table, Wang Qingxun and Liu Xin were chatting about the manor outside the city. Peng Chengzong and Wang Xiaohua only thought he was asking when it would be built, but they did not expect the deeper meaning between them.

The two kilograms of twice-cooked pork were eaten clean by everyone, including the onions, ginger and taro inside.

"Uncle Wang, this is 34 taels of silver. I will ask Zhou Tai to send the remaining money over later. Zhou Tai is my new brother. His martial arts skills are not inferior to those of the young master, and he is trustworthy." Liu Xin said.

"Oh? To be able to compete in martial arts with the little village owner, he must be an amazing person. How did you make friends with such a person?" Wang Qingxun asked Liu Xin.

Liu Xin drank two bowls of wine. This may be because his body did not drink much. More than ten degrees of alcohol made him a little dizzy. After coming out of Buzhuang, Liu Xin kept thinking about how to get more money.

good.

With all the money he and his father-in-law's family had, they could only buy less than two thousand dan. This person needs ten dan of food a year, which is not enough for 200 people for a year. Even if the world is in chaos, he will not be able to store this little food.

How useful.

Thinking of the wine he drank today, Liu Xin shook his head. Selling alcohol was something he didn't dare touch. As the actual manager of the West City, the Zhang family had the right to sell alcohol here. If he got involved, he would be competing with the Zhang family for profit.

.

If you tell the Zhang family how to distill liquor, what will you get? I'm afraid that you will become the focus of all the aristocratic families. The Zhang family will reward you with a maximum reward of tens of thousands of dollars, which is not worthwhile.

He definitely likes his own Doubanjiang Zuixianlou, but Liu Xin doesn't like dealing with the Lu family at all. He is seeking skin from a tiger. The more contact he has with the Lu family, the greater his danger. Before leaving Zhuoxian City, he tried not to let [

Doubanjiang】Let others know.

Liu Xin has many ways to make money in his mind, but they are not what he can operate now. After all, more than 90% of the money in Zhuo County is in the hands of aristocratic families. Liu Xin is not willing to attract attention if it is slightly inappropriate, or involves the interests of aristocratic families.
