Chapter 265 Hoarding Food [2]
Zhang Tiezhu just expressed his doubts and worries, and it was impossible to force others to be like him.
So after saying this, Zhang Tiezhu left and went to the old house. Although he had cut off relations with his mother and the others, he still wanted to tell him that if there was a flood one day and there was no harvest, he would starve to death.
In the past, after the flood, every household had no food and starved to death.
No matter what, it is his own father and mother. Even if they don’t interact, they can’t watch them starve to death.
After Zhang Tiezhu talked about the flood and wanted to stockpile grain, Jiang Yumei did not take it seriously, but felt that Zhang Tiezhu was too exaggerated. Yu Laidi also looked disdainful and was reluctant to spend money to stockpile grain.
The rain might stop one day.
Cheng Wenying heard this and was very anxious. After talking about this with her husband, the couple advised her parents-in-law to stock up on food every day. It had been raining for about twenty days. If this continues, it will really be flooding!
When the flood comes, nothing will be gone!
Where can there be crops!
Unfortunately, Jiang Yumei and Zhang Dequan didn't listen at all.
After hearing Zhang Tiezhu's words, Doctor Xu, Grandma Li and Erdan's father's family stocked up more or less some food.
Li Hongxiang went to her parents' home early the next morning. When she talked about this, it turned out that her parents had started stocking up yesterday and were planning to come to her house today to let her and Tiezhu stock up, but she didn't expect that she would come first.
So Li Hongxiang was in a hurry to go home again, afraid that the flood would suddenly rise and there would be no one at home.
Cheng Wenying and Zhang Tieshi continued to persuade Jiang Yumei to stock up on grain. Jiang Yumei was a little panicked after all, so she took out a tael of silver to stock up on grain. When she went to the county, she realized that the coarse grain had risen to thirty cents per dou! Even the most unpalatable wheat rice had risen to 15 cents per dou!
You should know that this kind of wheat rice that was not shedded in the past cost two cents a dou.
As for the fine rice, it has increased to fifty cents per bucket!
If you continue to follow this momentum, you will not be able to afford food!
I didn't buy much grain for one tael of silver, but I also spent it all. After returning home, Zhang Tieshi told me about it. Jiang Yumei regretted it. She would have stocked it up earlier if she had known it. How could she know that the grain actually increased so quickly!
Many people in the village were panicked. Since they were afraid that the flood would come and washed away the crops, they were also afraid that even the entire village would be flooded...
The inner court was so anxious about this matter that he went to the county to talk about it every few days. Lord Liang was also worried about it. There were more than 200 villages of all sizes in Zhongyun County. If there was a real flood, what would happen to so many villagers!
-
"It's been almost a month since the rain has been falling, and I don't know when it will stop. The rice at home is about to get moldy." Zhang Tiezhu sat on the stool with a worry, looking at the gloomy sky outside the house, feeling his heart heavy.
The water level in the river is almost rising to the ground, and it is still moderate rain. If it rains heavily for a few consecutive days, the entire village will probably be gone.
Su Jinse was also extremely worried, "Let's get a room out and put the food on the bed, which is better than putting it on the ground, and it is easy to get damp."
Zhang Tiezhu nodded in agreement, so the rooms of Zhang Zhiqiang and Zhang Zhiwen were used to store grain, meat, vegetables and other things. At night, Li Hongxiang took Zhang Yuxiu and Su Jinse to sleep, and Zhang Tiezhu took his two sons to sleep.
The next morning, the rain still did not stop, but the rain became heavier.
