Chapter 68: Soybean Purchases Under Attack (Part 9)
Ge Yingxi and Steward Ge were really startled when they heard what Steward Wang said before, thinking that there would be no more chances, who knew that Steward Wang would say that there were other aspects later.
"In what aspect?" Steward Ge asked anxiously.
This made Ge Yingxi disappointed again, this housekeeper and housekeeper can't be compared, this Wang butler didn't seem to be like this at the beginning, why did he seem to have changed in just a few months?
Ge Yingxi didn't know, this is the reason for the economic strength, the Zhang family, the Wang family and the Ge family were almost the same, so they were all standing in the same position, but at this time, it was different, the Zhang and Wang families were rich, and of course their mentality would change.
Steward Wang didn't care about the people of the Ge family asking so urgently, and said slowly: "There is a river between our two families, and the place downstream of this river suddenly became flat, and the main family of the Zhang and Wang families wanted to build a restaurant in that place, the second floor, the inside was empty, and you could see the water."
We will find some people to drink and write poems here, if the Ge family also intends to join it, then pay a share of the money, and then earn a share of it, at this time it is just a drought, and it is easier to build a restaurant. ”
"What if you lose it?" Steward Ge is straightforward and fast-talking.
Without waiting for Steward Wang to speak, Ge Yingxi said: "Then naturally we will pay together, Steward Wang, I don't know when the restaurant will be repaired, and Ge's share must be added then." ”
Ge Yingxi finally didn't dare to continue to go against the Zhang and Wang families, and now that he had a chance, he felt that even if he didn't make money, or even lost a little, it would be worth it to be able to get in touch with the two Zhuangzi.
"Okay, Ge Cun is rest assured, waiting for the end of spring ploughing, when the construction here begins, the Ge family will naturally not be left behind, after all, the three families together can be more secure."
Steward Wang replied very decently, and after speaking, seeing that the two of them had no intention of leaving, he continued to invite, "Ge Cunzheng, Steward Ge, why don't you go to the pond over there to have a look, I have a good number in my heart, and I don't know how long this drought will last." ”
"That's fine." Ge Yingxi agreed without thinking about it, he really wanted to go and see, after all, the water transported from Zhang Wang's family was filled with the big wooden barrel or tank, and it was not safe to look at it over there, it was best to keep it full, so that even if it was still dry in summer and autumn, he didn't have to worry.
The three of them walked towards a pond, and from time to time they saw the villagers of the Ge family Zhuangzi coming to carry water, not only the water for watering, but also the water for cooking, which had not yet been dug up.
Standing next to a pond, Ge Yingxi was finally relieved, the pond was still full, and the water in the small river was less, but it was always flowing there, and when there was no water, he had to rely on the well water.
After some small talk, Ge Yingxi and Steward Ge said goodbye and left, and the worries in their hearts were also put down, this time there was a partnership, and if there was anything in the future, the Zhang and Wang families would also think about themselves.
******
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were still standing by the river and watching the villagers busy there, and the two found that the loach fish in this small river are really not ordinary, one or two, even if you have seen it, but so many loach fish, if you don't catch them and eat them, you may also die in the mud at that time, which is a pity.
"How?" Wang Juan looked eager to try.
"Let someone else help catch me, watch me." Zhang Xiaobao looked at the children playing in the pond and shouted loudly, "Come here, grab the loaches." ”
The children's voices were penetrating, and as soon as they shouted, the little babies crawled out of the pond one after another and ran to this side.
"Help me catch loaches, I'll exchange them for tofu, ten loaches for a big piece of tofu, when the time comes, you can eat loaches and drill tofu, catch twenty loaches, I'm exchanging one or two vegetable oil with you, everything is ready now, why don't you do it?"
Zhang Xiaobao abandoned the identity of the little boy at this time and discussed with the children.
The little babies originally had nothing to do, they all went to the water to play, and when they heard that they could change so many things, they all jumped to the bottom of the river one by one, and they didn't care that the mud didn't go over their calves, and they grabbed it one by one, and the loaches were thrown out one by one, and which one was thrown by themselves, and no one was lying to play tricks at this time.
From time to time, a baby would pop out of the mud pond, screaming and slapping his leg with his hand, which bit the locust all the time, and slapped it down, and the locust itself shrank out of the human body and formed a ball.
Some little babies have a heavy sense of revenge, find a small wooden stick, rub the locust on the ground twice, use the small stick to top one end and one poke, the whole locust will turn over from the inside out, and then stick the stick on the shore, let the sun dry, and when it is dry, the locust will die, and it will not live if it is put into the water.
"That's how they killed leeches." Wang Juan looked at the more and more wooden sticks on the shore, and felt that these little babies were too violent, and she was not afraid, but she never did such a thing.
"Well, this is still slow, I used to catch the locusts and put them on the railway, once the train passed, there was nothing left, if the locusts were not released, I would find a nail, put it there, and after waiting for the train to pass, the nail would become a small sword."
Zhang Xiaobao recalls the days when he was wandering, when he learned a lot from other children.
"Actually, sprinkle a little salt, and the leeches will naturally shrink together." Wang Juan felt that this method of slapping would make the child feel pain, and said beside him, which meant asking Zhang Xiaobao to ask someone to go back to fetch salt.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't move at all, "You bring the salt, they will still use their hands to pat, it's not that the salt is expensive, but they think that it is the safest way to beat down the locusts with their hands, this is the attack consciousness, and it can also be put together with the control consciousness." ”
"For example?" Wang Juan asked.
"Children like to play with guns since childhood, no guns to play, guns and knives together, most children will choose guns, guns have a sense of security, can be remote strikes, remote control cars are the same, there is a wired, there is a wireless, most of them choose wireless, even if the wired can be 100 meters long, the wireless control distance is 50 meters.
This is because the wireless control is more flexible, there is no concern, so it is the safest, and this sense of security is controlled by the person who plays, he wants to attack, he wants to retreat. ”
Zhang Xiaobao gave an example.
"I understand this, just like the road, sea and air games that boys like to play when they were in school in the past, draw two big traps together, the innermost is the land, the middle is the sea, and the outside is the sky, guess the fist to choose, many children choose the sky, and the last thing they want to choose is the sea, they are enemies on both sides, and they have no sense of security.
I thought about it, the last time we got someone to patrol in the middle of the night, and light the lamp, but I don't think it's enough, in the future, when there are more families, I will divide them into open whistles, dark whistles, fixed whistles and mobile whistles, so that the whole Zhuangzi will be more stable, sleeping solidly, and sentry posts will also be solid. ”
Wang Juan said that he was going to defend the work in the future, and at this time the children were almost caught, climbed up one after another, and put the loaches that everyone threw on the shore with branches one by one, and put them in front of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and everyone began to report how many loaches they caught.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't count it again, and directly asked people to go back to get tofu, as well as vegetable oil, so many loaches can make a few dishes, and they can eat for two or three days.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao also began to walk back, and the loach was naturally helped by someone, even if the two of them could carry it, others would not let them.
As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, they saw that Song Jinggong, who should not have come back today, was waiting there.
"Little boy, no, someone is buying a large number of soybeans, I got a share from Zhou Xihu today, I wanted to buy some soybeans, but I went to a few grain stores and said that they were gone, I didn't believe it, and I went over to take a look, but it was really empty.
The guy told me that some people came to the store and directly asked how many soybeans there were, as long as there were soybeans, no matter how many, they all bought, and I didn't buy a pound of soybeans for half a day, and our vegetable oil was all based on soybeans.
Now the soybeans in the whole county are probably bought by those people, waiting for the next shipment, the price is not as low as it is now, I guess, someone found out that our vegetable oil is made from soybeans. ”
As soon as Song Jinggong saw Zhang Xiaobao, he told the matter, and his expression was anxious.
Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while, "The taste of vegetable oil has a beany smell, we keep harvesting soybeans, others will understand at a glance, I think these people are targeting us, but we have already sold vegetable oil, why are those people doing it now, is it because of drought?" ”
"Maybe, they want to hoard it, wait for the price of soybeans to rise, and then come to us to sell it, so that they can make a lot more money, but I always feel that this thing is not so simple, intuitive." Wang Juan was on the side to help analyze.
"What have we been doing lately? Let's not be busy, go back to the house, go inside and make a table, look at our main income and new output during this time, and then judge. ”
Zhang Xiaobao couldn't figure out what those people meant for a while, soybeans were harvested, the big deal was not to sell soybean oil, they didn't know how to get soybean oil with soybeans, the general rapeseed oil was fried, and the meat oil was also made like this.
Song Jinggong found a place to rest, while Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to the house and began to calculate the main source of income during this period.
After some calculations, it was found that there was no big difference from the previous one, so all that was left was the new output.
