Chapter 402 Discovering Mysteries

Yang Heshu only thought she was joking, so after laughing and laughing, he stopped talking about this topic, and just kept the admission fee in mind.

He looked at the people coming and going below, and secretly thought in his heart: If the former magistrate Fu knew that the entry fee of one penny or two had stopped so many people, I wonder if he would regret it.

Yang Heshu thought that if it was him, he would definitely regret it.

He has always felt that as long as there are people, it will be prosperous.

People are the foundation of everything!

Someone wanted to go into the city to buy a needle, but couldn't get in because of the penny entry fee.

But does he really only buy a needle when he enters the city?

Will I buy some when I see the thread next to the needle, and when I see the fabric, will I want to buy it too?

Or after a long stay in town, will you pay for a meal? Even buying a bun, the person selling the bun makes some money.

And if he sold one more bun, the grain shop and the mill made a little more money...

Yang Heshu fell into a trance after thinking about it. Bai Shanbao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes. When he realized that he didn't regain his senses, he shrugged his shoulders at Man Bao and said, "Let's order our own food."

Bai Erlang also hugged his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."

"We eat meat!" Man Bao made his request.

Man Bao can no longer make money by selling sugar, so he did not buy meat for his family.

And Lao Zhoutou only spent money to buy an ox cart, and there is a debt owed to the yamen on his head. He is very stingy. There are eggs at home that can be eaten, but it is impossible to buy meat.

In order to make the two little grandsons cry less, he will let the family buy some pig feet or crucian carp to make soup for the two daughters-in-law to eat.

Xiao Qian would occasionally steal some for Man Bao to eat, but not much, and Man Bao would not be able to grab food from his two sister-in-laws who were going to feed his nephew.

So Man Bao has not eaten meat for a long time.

When Yang Heshu came back to his senses, the three children had already ordered their favorite dishes, and Xiao Er looked at him with a smile, "Sir, what do you want to order?"

Yang Heshu asked, "What did you all order?"

Hearing the name of the dish reported by the three children, Yang Heshu couldn't help but be speechless and asked, "Can you finish your meal?"

Two dishes for one person, six dishes for three people.

The three nodded and said affirmatively, "I'm done eating!"

Yang Heshu ordered a soup, and since he went to the countryside to eat the meals of the villagers, Yang Heshu automatically learned to be frugal.

As soon as the food came, the three children looked at Yang Heshu together, waiting for him to start.

Yang Heshu actually understood, he smiled slightly, raised his chopsticks to pick up a dish, and said with a smile, "Eat it."

The three children stretched out their chopsticks together and began to eat in an orderly manner.

Since they went to elementary school with Mr. Zhuang, they usually eat lunch with Mr. Zhuang.

Then Mr. Zhuang took care of their dining etiquette.

In the past, Bai Erlang was not specially taught, and the old Zhou family felt that Manbao was good everywhere, but Bai Shanbao was strictly required in this regard since he was a child.

As soon as Mr. Zhuang took care of it, the three children became more polite, at least they wouldn't be rude at the dinner table.

Halfway through the meal, Yang and Shu found out. The three of them said they could finish it, but they really could.

Yang Heshu's appetite improved a lot with them. After eating, he subconsciously slowed down and let them eat first.

Seeing that the three of them were eating deliciously, Yang Heshu couldn't help but say, "They all say that half-size children eat poor old men. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. Why do you think you eat more than me?"

The three looked up and smiled politely at him.

Yang Heshu put down the bowls and chopsticks and asked with a smile, "Have you finished harvesting the winter wheat in your farm? How is the harvest?"

"It's good," Man Bao ate all the rice grains in the bowl, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "This year's winter wheat in our village is good, and the mills have been queuing up to grind flour these two days."

Bai Shanbao asked, "How is the situation in other villages?"

Yang Heshu smiled and said, "The situation in other villages is also good. I heard from the old farmers that the main reason is that there were several spring rains when the wheat was grouting this year, and then the weather was just right, so the harvest was good."

"Isn't the price of food going to be reduced?" Bai Shanbao asked thoughtfully.

"It hasn't dropped yet, but I think it will be soon." Yang Heshu was happy when he mentioned this, and it was precisely because the winter wheat harvest was good that he was leisurely wandering around the county town at this time, otherwise he would have a headache at this moment. It's time to provide food for relief, so that the people of a county can get through the time of spring.

"Last year, it was the people in the countryside who suffered the most. Some people stopped cooking as early as a month ago, so after harvesting winter wheat, many people must be reluctant to sell it, so the price of grain is not easy to drop for a while, but it will be a while later. The time is the Dragon Boat Festival, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, we can see how the summer harvest will be, and the grain price will definitely drop by then."

Yang Heshu is confident that there will be a bumper harvest this year.

Man Bao is also very confident. As early as some time ago, when the wheat was drying, her father followed a group of old men and women to watch the sky under the banyan tree, and finally concluded that this year may be very good for God.

At most, it will be dry after autumn, but then the impact is not very big.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other and decided to go to the food store after dinner.

Bai Erlang was also full. He put down the tableware and saw that there was no sound at the dinner table, so he looked left and right and asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Man Bao pointed at the rice left in Yang Heshu's bowl and said, "Master Yang, you haven't finished eating yet."

Yang Heshu: "I, I'm full."

Man Bao widened his eyes, obviously not expecting that someone would leave the white rice behind.

The old Zhou family never had any leftovers. The rice that was distributed to everyone could be eaten cleanly. How could anyone in this world not be able to eat?

Man Bao's eyes made Yang Heshu feel that he had done something outrageous. He silently picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat the rice inside, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at each other with the three children.

Yang Heshu asked, "Are you going to sit at my house? We agreed last time that I would invite you to see the garden in the backyard of the county government."

Bai Erlang nodded, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao shook their heads.

Yang Heshu ignored Bai Erlang and looked at Man Bao and Bai Shanbao, "Why, do you have something to do?"

"We're going to take a look at the grain store."

Yang Heshu understood after a little thought, and asked with a smile, "Why, you want to sell the farm's wheat?"

The two nodded.

Yang Heshu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's selling right now, otherwise the price will drop after a while."

Yang Heshu simply stood up, "Let's go, I'll take a look with you."

For some reason, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao didn't really want to go to the grain shop with Yang Heshu.

But people are so enthusiastic, the two can only accept it.

Bai Erlang was sleepy after eating, and now he just wanted to go home for a nap, so his mouth was pouting, and he followed behind them glumly.
