Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 755 Send him a ride



Chapter 755 Send him a ride

My family has become wealthy over the years and we have eaten a lot of good food, but as for sparrows, I think we have never eaten them before.

Now that we have no shortage of wheat at home, it seems that it is not impossible to have a meal like this occasionally?

When Zhou Guo ate the sparrow meat, he found it extremely tender and fresh. He never thought that sparrows were so delicious. Why didn’t he think of eating them this way before?

Zhou Dacang and the others who had eaten it were also stunned, "This fried sparrow is indeed much more delicious than the roasted one."

Looking at them like this, Mrs. Li couldn't get angry. As long as the children were happy with the food, it was all worth it.

A basket of sparrows was eaten by the whole family.

Zhou Gu was too lazy to spit out the bones, so he chewed even the tiny bones into pieces and swallowed them.

After eating, Zhou Guo still felt unsatisfied and decided to wait for another meal.

There are so many people in the family, and no one has enough to eat.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow, we will grab another basket."

Everyone responded with pleasure.

It’s a pity that Zhou Dacang can’t eat it anymore, because he will be leaving tomorrow.

That night, the family huddled on the kang and chatted until midnight, and then Zhou Dacang went to sleep.

The family prepared for half the night, just like in previous years.

Zhou Dacang left in the morning carrying two large bags.

Zhou Guo also carried one on his back, intending to send him off.

Li was puzzled and asked, "Your uncle went to the camp, and I don't know what you were going to do?"

Zhou Guo said: "My uncle will not return to the camp first. He has to join the army. He came back to recruit soldiers."

Although I didn't do any work, the title is here.

Zhou Dacang said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, let her go, you can't stop her even if you want to."

Li waved her hand, "Go ahead, go ahead. She can carry your things for a while. When you get there, you can ask someone else to carry them for you. They are all food and clothes."

There are also some for Li Wang, some as a tribute to the old doctor, and some for Lao Zheng and others.

So this time we reduced our luggage a lot.

When we reached the entrance of the village, all the villagers came to see us off. The Zhao family also came and brought a package of things. Fortunately, it was not much, otherwise we would not have been able to take it away.

Zhou Dacang looked at Zhou Xing helplessly, "You also know that I only have one horse, why did you bring me things?"

Zhou Xing said, "Uncle, this was prepared by Yuan Ge'er's grandparents. I asked them to reduce the amount of these things a lot, otherwise it would have been more."

Mr. Zhao said, "We know you can't take much with you, but these are all food. You can eat them on the way, and they won't take up much space."

"That's right. We haven't prepared anything else. These are just some small things. They're our little tokens of our appreciation." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.

Zhou Dacang thanked them, clasped his fists to the people who came to see him off, and rode away under the gaze of everyone.

Zhou Guo followed closely behind and left with Zhou Dacang.

Everyone was puzzled and asked Li, "Where is your Guo going? Is she going to leave home with her uncle too?"

Li said, "She said she wanted to give her uncle a ride. The child is grown up now and she does whatever she wants. I can't control her anymore."

What is said is that everyone has seen Zhou Guo grow up.

Seeing how she managed to build up the family business step by step, the child was very capable and naturally didn't listen to her parents.

So, even if a child is capable, there is still a price to pay.

Some people think this way, and then look at their own children who can't even utter a few words, and feel that they are not so annoying.

Zhou Guo sent Zhou Dacang into the camp and left. Now everyone was busy with the autumn harvest, so she could only stay here to send him off.

Zhou Dacang patted her shoulder, and the uncle and nephew parted ways.

She turned around and went to Song County, and took people to other states. This year, there were nearly eight or nine counties outside, with a large number of people and households.

No one has gone to take care of this part yet, and no one is available to help, so she has to go by herself.

It’s not the same thing if there are people pushing things from behind. Seven out of ten counties have bought the fat.

"We were not willing to go to Yunzhou at first because it was too far, but we thought what if it was true? They said we were not allowed to take care of it ourselves, but only to use fertilizers. Other things would be delivered by someone, and you would come to collect the grain in autumn. So we thought it would be a good idea to take a look without any effort, so we went."

"We went first, and then came back and told everyone about it. The rest of the people who were still hesitating about whether to go stopped hesitating. Such a good thing only comes once in a century, and there's nothing to lose by giving it a try, so everyone is happy to go."

In half a month, she visited all these counties and received better feedback than the counties under Yunzhou.

The distance is long, the service is thoughtful, and they do what they say.

When many people heard that she was the manager of Feizhuang, they were so happy that they insisted on having her come to the house to eat, and they would not refuse.

The remaining timid people in the village regretted not buying fertilizer this year when they saw a smiling little kid like Zhou Guo. A child like this would definitely not tell lies.

Zhou Guo went from county to county, entering each large village. In addition to seeing the harvest in each village, he also spread the news.

In half a month, we visited two new counties, and we also gained more than 30 villages in other counties that had not heard of the news. It was a huge harvest.

After visiting all these counties, the people sent by Wujiang to collect grain also arrived.

But there are limited vehicles, and with so many counties and villages, it would be impossible to collect all the samples in a short time.

Zhou Guo had no choice but to rent cars on the spot. He rented sixty cars at once, which greatly alleviated the pressure of using cars.

Once the convoy was rented, grain collection became more than twice as fast.

But even so, it took more than a month for these counties in other states to complete the harvest.

Zhou Guo had been traveling around various villages and counties these days, and only returned after more than a month.

In Yunzhou's 23 counties, less than half of the harvest has been completed in one month, and the harvest in other areas has not yet been completed.

The farmers' grain had been harvested a long time ago and even the taxes had been paid, but they still hadn't come.

Later, some farmers who lived nearby waited for a long time but saw no arrival, so they simply pushed their carts to deliver the goods.

The huge army of grain deliverers entered Feizhuang. Zhou Guo happened to be in Song County. Seeing that they came to return the grain on their own, he was surprised and asked, "Why did you all come on your own? We would have come to collect it even if you hadn't delivered it to us."

An old man waved his hand and said, "We have paid the taxes but we still haven't waited for you to come. Since we are close, we might as well send you there ourselves."

"These things are not ours, and we feel uncomfortable keeping them in our hands. After we return them to you, the remaining things are ours. We can eat them however we want and use them however we want."

Everyone laughed heartily; it turned out that they all thought this way.

The farmer has been honest all his life and has never thought of taking other people's things for himself. Besides, the fertilizer is not bought just for one year, but will be used for many years to come.

Zhou Guo also laughed and said sincerely: "Thank you very much, everyone. We have limited manpower and vehicles in the fertilizer shop. There are many people buying fertilizer this year, so we can't spare any manpower for the time being. We are really sorry to trouble you."

"Hey, why are you saying this? We did it willingly. Anyway, the busy farming season is over now, and there's nothing serious to worry about. These are just small matters."
