Reborn female match

Chapter 12 Selling Grain

The areas where the late crops are planted are currently in full swing for the autumn harvest. Although the weather is cold, compared with the cold north, Jiangnan is still warm.

This is also the busiest time for An's family. Anli is about to take care of Gu Qiu's tax affairs. Li Jinxiu and Uncle Cai will take care of the family's tax and tenants renting farm equipment from An's family.

An Tong asked Li Jinxiu to tell Li Jinxiu about the collection of food from Xu's family, so naturally he would be interrogated.Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Li Jinxiu quickly guessed that she wanted to make friends with Xu Xiangru.

"It's not impossible to ask mother to help, but why do you want to get along with her all of a sudden?" Li Jinxiu asked.

An Tong had already figured out the words, she thought that these words would definitely not make Li Jinxiu suspicious: "Aniang, although I had a lot of quarrels with Xu Xiangru before, and I suffered under her hands several times, but I'm not a small-minded person, so naturally I can't always remember the past, can I?"

Li Jinxiu looked at her: "Aren't you a small-bellied person?"

An Tong's cheeks puffed up with anger, until Li Jinxiu teased her: "Mother remembers wrongly, our family's Tong'er has a big heart, and the person with a small belly is Xu Xiangru."

An Tong was still angry: "Aniang, I'm serious!"

Li Jinxiu just sat upright like this: "Well, what you said is very reasonable. Although the little lady of the Xu family has wronged you many times, I also admire her for being neither humble nor overbearing and unyielding. You are not as calm as her, and you can't hold back." Not as smart as her, and you deserved what you suffered from her."

An Tong began to wonder if she was born of Li Jinxiu. Could it be that because Xu Xiangru is the heroine, even her mother should be convinced by Xu Xiangru?

Li Jinxiu rubbed his chin and said, "Do you know why the little lady of the Xu family lost to you several times?"

An Tongsheng was afraid that Li Jinxiu would set a trap for her again, so he thought about it carefully and was a little uncertain: "She, she didn't lose to me, but she lost to An's family."

Li Jinxiu smiled and said, "You still have a little self-knowledge, which means you're not too dull. But it's true, how can my Li Jinxiu's daughter be born exactly like your father, at least she has something like me."

An Tong is sure that she was born by Li Jinxiu, at least in terms of "self-appreciation", they don't know what modesty is.

"Xu's young lady is a smart person. She knows that if she can't let you get something cheap, you will definitely not let it go. In this way, you don't know that it is between you and her, and the An family will definitely intervene. The Xu family is just How can a low-class household fight against the An family?"

An Tong's chest was tight by Li Jinxiu's words. How dare she and Xu Xiangru fight tit for tat, you come and go back and forth for so many years, is it the result of Xu Xiangru letting her?No, she believed that all of these were added to the heroine by the writer!

Seeing that An Tong was in a low mood, Li Jinxiu chuckled and said, "Of course, she has suffered under your hands. After all, you have a lively temper and can often surprise you. Her temper just happened to be restrained by you. It's just that if the Xu family is a big family comparable to the An family, I'm afraid you will still be oppressed by her."

An Tong was not comforted at all, she said wearily: "Mother, don't bring up the past again!"

It took nearly ten days for Xu's field to be harvested and threshed.And An's family also arranged to collect grain, but the price of grain in good fields cannot be the same as that in low-grade fields, after all, there are still some differences in terms of firmness and taste.

Good fields are harvested at [-]% of the rice price, while those in inferior fields are harvested at [-]%.However, a little different from Li's Grain Shop is that the price of rice is not set according to the price of the state capital, but according to the price of the state capital in the border area.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huainan Roads have always been places where grain prices are relatively stable. As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, grain prices will not change much.On the other hand, Hunan, Fujian, Guangnan and other roads, due to the large area and sparse population, have little demand for food, and the price of food is very low.It is obviously not cost-effective to buy food to these places.

Only in places where there is a lack of military food such as border defense, the price of food is higher than other places.

Rich families either stock up on food and wait for natural disasters to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune; or sell them to border defense and disaster-stricken areas through other channels to earn the difference.

If it's just ordinary people, or a small grain shop with a small business, it is naturally impossible to get in touch with such a channel, and the An family happens to have contacts left by the An family's predecessors. Over the years, the An family has basically relied on this channel , sold all the surplus food of the An family.

However, this is not An Lizheng's responsibility. He and An Tong's second uncle have already divided the responsibilities in the An family when they separated:

An Lizheng is Lizheng, and also the next patriarch, who will be responsible for all affairs of the clan.Uncle An is in charge of selling grain for the An family. If he does not do well, someone in the clan will naturally take his place.

The two brothers are of the same heart, so that the big family of the An family can still stand in Taojiang County for more than ten years even after no one becomes an official.

An Tong didn't know the internal affairs of these families in the past, but now Li Jinxiu seems to want her to get in touch, so that she won't know anything about the internal affairs of the family in the future, and instead be caught by the tribe or her husband-in-law without her knowledge. The family property was divided up.

After An Tong digested these things that he didn't know until he had lived for two lifetimes, he also understood why the Jiang family dared not and would not propose a divorce.She regretted her innocence in her previous life, and made up her mind to pay attention to the matter of settling down in the future.

The background of the An family gave An Tong some confidence, but as long as she thought of leaving the Taojiang River, there would be a royal family member standing by the heroine's side, and her heart would be overwhelmed.

Although Zhao Weicai, a relative of the emperor, was only a county king, he was the emperor's nephew when none of the emperor's own children had been knighted, which shows how outstanding this county king is.

In such a comparison, the An family seems nothing.

"So we still have to be a good person and treat Xu Xiangru well!"

With such insights, An Tong went to Xu's house with the money from selling grain.

The courtyard of the Xu family was a little lively.An Tong saw Xu Wangshi and Xu Xiangru beating something from a distance, and when he got closer, he found that they were pounding rice.

Xu Xiangru stepped on the wooden pole of the pestle, causing the stone pestle to fall heavily on the grains again and again, knocking off the hulls of the grains, while Xu Wang held a tool in front of him and occasionally evened the grains in the stone mortar.

Xu Wang's work is relatively easy, but stepping on the wheel requires a lot of effort. When An Tong came over, he saw a few locks of hair on Xu Xiangru's forehead, and his healthy skin was red.It is really embarrassing to say that the work that should have been done vigorously fell on Xu Xiangru.

An Tong lay on the low courtyard wall of Xu's house and watched Xu Xiangru. She seemed to have discovered it a long time ago. In terms of the degree of black and white skin, she is undoubtedly on the same level as Xu Xiangru.

But people in the village don't judge beauty and ugliness by the black and white of the skin, so in the eyes of many young people who are pregnant, she seems to have lost to Xu Xiangru. Does it mean that even if she turns white, she may not be as beautiful as Xu Xiangru?

Thinking of this, she was a little unwilling.

After silently watching Xu Wang's mother and daughter for a long time, he said, "Why don't you sell the grain together, and then go buy rice? Why do you need to pound it yourself?"

Xu Xiangru was tired from walking, so he stopped for a rest, and happened to look up and see An Tong when he spoke.

After Xu Wang found out that An Tong was here, she became more friendly than before: "Miss An is here, come in and sit quickly, there is a lot of dust on the wall!" He also asked Xu Xiangru, "Go and bring out two bowls of warm water. For the little lady and Cuirou."

An Tong brushed off his sleeves, walked into Xu's house, and held Xu Xiangru back: "Don't worry, I'll leave after a while."

Xu Xiangru withdrew his hand, grabbed the sweat towel around his waist, wiped his forehead lightly, and said, "Miss An, go in and sit down, even if you don't need to drink water, A Niang and I still have to drink."

"Oh." An Tong resentfully let go, and ordered Ren Cuirou, "Then Cuirou, go and help me."

Ren Cuirou obediently followed Xu Xiangru to the kitchen, so only An Tong and Xu Wang were left in the hall.An Tong didn't wait for Mrs. Xu to talk to her, so she took out the money that the Xu family deserved.

"This is the money for the Xu family's five mu of fertile land near the river. The five mu of fertile land produced a total of 21 shi grains. Calculated at 230% of the rice price of [-] renminbi a shi, the final thirteen guan is [-] renminbi. According to the agreement , the rice bran and brown rice will not be returned to you.”

Xu Wangshi nodded: "This is natural."

What the An family paid was already 350% of the price of rice, and the price of rice was about [-] renminbi higher than the current general grain price. No matter what, the Xu family took advantage.

"It's impossible for me to carry thirteen strings of money with me, so I prepared the handover notes. As long as the handover notes are in Jiangnan and Sichuan, any Jiaozi shop can exchange them for money."

Xu Wangshi smiled slightly: "I believe in Anjia."

An Tong gave the money for the rest of the grain to Xu Wang's. Except for the leftover grain seeds and the part eaten by the family, the grain of Xu's 36 mu field was sold for [-] yuan, which was more than the price offered by Li's grain shop. Fourteen coins more.

Xu Wang's hands were shaking as he received the banknotes.She thought about it, and got up to go back to the room to find a safe place to hide the money, but she thought that there was no place in her room that Xu San couldn't find, and the joy of harvesting suddenly seemed to be poured with cold water.
