Chapter 8: Buying rice after the disaster, fireworks in the compound

During major disasters, the price of grain will rise.

Before the earthquake, one pound of corn was eight cents, and one cent of millet rose to one pound of corn on the same day, and one cent of millet was eight cents. The next morning, it rose to one pound of corn on the same day and five cents of millet and one cent of millet. Now, it is even more three-price per day.

Unless the Daxia court opened the grain warehouse and suppressed bad merchants, there was no idea how many people would starve to death.

Fortunately, I had the foresight, so I borrowed 200 yuan from the partridge who came to visit him and bought 1,000 kilograms of corn and 300 kilograms of millet, 100 kilograms of salt and various vegetables.

It is now piled up in the backyard room, full of people, making the old ladies in the front and middle courtyard mutter, it is such a spoiler.

As for Fan Yu, he strongly suggested that everyone should buy more food and salt, and they would treat it as a way to hear it, or even mock it in private.

So I had to give up.

There is one thing that, under Fan Yu's implementation of landlord privileges, the three oldest men in the college forced the organ committee to organize young and strong people to inspect the organ day and night to prevent thieves and strong men.

Look, the three old men sat on the open space in Fan Yu's backyard and started the post-disaster reconstruction meeting with a wooden pier.

"I suggest that each household pay a dollar to rebuild the house and strengthen it so that the earth dragon will not turn over again."

The person who spoke was Mr. Qin, but was ridiculed by the third uncle: "A lot of money can buy a few kilograms of corn, which is enough for a family of snacks for a few days... What you said is light, who can get the extra money at this time?"

"You are always stingy. A lot of money is indeed a lot, but if the house is not built, how can you move in? Then the earth dragon will turn over and kill you, and bring the money into the coffin?"

This quarrel immediately became a two-person double act.

Seeing Fan Yu looked helpless and coughed, "Don't argue, two uncles, this courtyard belongs to me, Fan Yu. I should pay for the maintenance and reinforcement... Let's do this, I will take out ten yuan to rebuild the courtyard?"

"Mr. Fan is kind. I know that it is not easy for us all to be considerate. Then I will thank you for the dozens of people in the courtyard."

The two old men stopped arguing and were smiling.

The old man who had not spoken glanced at the two of them: "Since Mr. Fan has made money, everyone can't do anything without doing anything. If you can, just help."

“This is what it should be.”

After the two left, the old man sighed: "Mr. Fan, don't be surprised, it's not easy for everyone."

"What the hell is saying? I am alone and my whole family is not hungry. Unlike everyone else, four or five people in the family are waiting for food... I can understand."

The old man smiled bitterly: "A few days ago, everyone should have listened to Mr. Husband and bought more grain and salt. Now if you want to buy it, the price has increased several times... Liu Yatou's family has been out of food for several days, which is not easy."

He then shook his head and left in a sigh.

Fan Yu felt guilty in his heart that for the past half month, the partridge had brought food to him personally, and in addition, he needed to calmly build the foundation, so he did not let the two carrot heads come to disturb him.

He walked into the house gently, watching the old lady sleep peacefully, and added a pot of hot water next to her and was about to go out.

"A little brat, like a thief, walk silently."

Fan Yu turned around and said, "Look at your ears, you don't look like people in your 80s, they are more intelligent than dogs."

"Boy, beg for a fight."

Fan Yu ran out of the room with a laugh, then headed to the front yard, and saw someone along the way, nodded slightly, what a landlord was so handsome.

When we arrived at the front yard, we saw Ergouzi and Daya, two little radish heads sitting on the threshold, looking at a family not far away from home from time to time.

The house was eating, and the sucking sound could be heard ten meters away, so greedy that Ergou was drooling.

"Sister, I'm hungry."

Da Ya pinched the corner of her clothes and patted Ergouzi gently: "Brother, we are not hungry... I'll let you half of the steamed buns at night."

Ergouzi licked his nose and lowered his head aggrievedly: "Sister, are there no food in our family? The steamed buns last night were smaller than before, and I can't eat enough."

Suddenly he looked up and said excitedly: "Uncle Fan's family has food and meat. Let's go find Uncle Fan."

Da Ya shook her head: "Mom said, Uncle Fan is nice to us, we can't bother him."

Suddenly, with big hands, one head pressed: "Who said you can't bother you Uncle Fan? What your mother said is wrong. If you have something to do, you should look for Uncle Fan, otherwise Uncle Fan will be unhappy."

"Uncle Fan..."

Ergouzi screamed and hugged Fan Yu's thighs, making Fan Yu dislike him: "I've wiped my nose, you little bastard."

Da Ya stood up and said crisply: "Uncle Fan."

Fan Yu glanced at the room and didn't see Widow Liu: "Where is your mother?"

"My mother went to the street to find food, and she would come back tonight... and told us not to go out, saying that the streets were in chaos."

"Uncle Fan, I'm hungry."

Fan Yu pinched Ergouzi's face: "Let's go, Uncle Fan will make you delicious food... and be full."

"I just know that Uncle Fan is the best."

Ergouzi grinned, with yellow teeth, and smiled innocently and brilliantly.

Fan Yu didn't know how to cook, and made the whole yard messy. In the end, the old lady couldn't stand it and drove away one big or two young people to take charge of the cooking.

In the middle courtyard, someone smelled the fragrance: "Who eats meat so fragrant."

"Who else can I get it? Fan Xiucai's family in the backyard... I don't know where the money comes from, bags of grain filled the room and meat. How much does it cost."

"No, I have to go and have a look."

"What are you going to? The old lady lives there. Be careful that you will get a discount for a stick."

As soon as the old lady was there, the others immediately stopped.

...

Cooking corn, stewed porridge with millet, plus a bowl of fat pork belly, and a few vegetables.

Fan Yu smashed his mouth, looking a little...not to mention the two children, who were drooling.

"Bang..."

The old lady made Fan Yu grin: "Oh, you can really do it..."

"No tutor... don't take bad kids."

"You are the biggest of the rice you cook and the dishes you cook, and listen to yours."

Fan Yu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork belly, sucked oil, and his mouth was full of fragrance. He glanced at Ergouzi: "I haven't eaten it yet, but I've finished it."

Ergouzi looked at the old lady carefully and did not dare to move until the old lady said lightly: "Eat."

Then he cheered and joined the war of stir-fried pork.

Da Ya ate quite quietly. She took a bite and took it secretly with her hands. The old lady beat her with chopsticks: "If you use your hands again, don't eat it."

Fan Yu smiled 'hehe' and knocked Da Ya's head: "Your grandma left a bowl for your mother, so you can eat it with confidence."

Da Ya looked up at the old lady sincerely, and the old lady glanced at her: "Save it, a little clever ghost."

Then I had a happy meal.
