Chapter 173 Unknown
After following Sui Ran and his wife out to set up stalls a few times, Aunt Fang became visibly cheerful.
In addition, after questioning Zhou Ran yesterday, Aunt Fang became even happier when she learned that Jiang Genshan was not with the people in the prostitute and what really happened.
Although he didn't say anything, and he still ignored Jiang Genshan in his actions, in his heart, he no longer had so much resistance.
Thinking about it, it was only a matter of time before the two of them reconciled.
"Hey, what delicious food is being cooked in this kitchen? I can smell the aroma from all the way."
Aunt Fang's son didn't arrive yet, so she came first.
It will give people a very emotional value.
Jiang Anning looked at the fish that had just been stewed with water in the pot. Even though she was so close, she didn't see any smell coming out.
What's more, her sense of smell is even more sensitive.
The greater possibility is that Aunt Fang saw the smoke coming from her kitchen from a distance and said she would be obedient and cheer her up.
Jiang Anning likes this atmosphere very much.
If you want to live a comfortable life, it doesn't mean you say a few nice words and give me a compliment.
Can I say a few nice words and give you a compliment?
If everyone is like Zhao Hai's family, no matter what I say, you have to find ways to undermine me and suppress me as much as possible so that you can improve yourself, then it will be meaningless and very depressing.
Jiang Anning felt happy. In addition, the Sang brothers' matter could be regarded as a correct solution. She felt happy, unconsciously put a smile on her face, and stepped out to greet them.
“I really can’t hide anything from my aunt.”
She smiled and joked: "Originally, I was thinking of secretly opening a small stove for myself, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't have the chance!"
Aunt Fang naturally knew that she was joking. Seeing that she was much more cheerful than before, she was willing to cooperate. She turned around and said to Sui Ran and his wife, "Hey, look at how stingy she is. Still thinking about starting a small stove behind our backs, can we agree?”
"That must be unacceptable!"
Sui Ran said happily: "You have to take a closer look. Sister An Ning is secretly cooking something delicious at home. You can smell the fragrance from such a distance."
Jiang Guicheng did not get involved in the topic, but looked on with a smile on his face as his wife had two good friends.
"It's not a rare thing. I stewed the black fish this morning, and by chance you came back."
Jiang Anning smiled and greeted the three of them: "Hurry and wash your hands. You can eat later. The rice I stewed today will be delicious."
All three of them smiled and responded.
After washing her hands and returning, Aunt Fang and Sui Ran came to the kitchen to help.
Aunt Fang looked at the meal that was obviously for five people, and couldn't help but joke: "Look, they talk about cooking a small stove, but in fact they are eager to feed us like piglets."
< br>
Jiang Anning touched her nose in embarrassment.
Sui Ran smiled and agreed: "Sister An Ning is just a tough talker."
The three of them were chatting and joking, inevitably talking about setting up a stall today.
"Why did you come back at this hour?"
Jiang Anning not only asked why the three of them came back so late today: "At this time, if we prepare lunch and set up a stall to sell food, it will be too late, right?"
These three people came back almost an hour later than usual.
Normally by this time, dinner would have been prepared and ready to go out.
"I won't go there at noon today."
Speaking of this, Sui Ran couldn't help but look a little sad.
The smile also faded.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Anning asked concerned.
Sui Ran shook his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Aunt Fang also sighed in the same way, but she explained the matter clearly to Jiang Anning in a few words.
"Today, I can't say what's going on. The same people are coming and going, but this thing is not easy to sell."
"Everyone seems to have no appetite and is unwilling to eat."
"Originally, we thought that some new competitors had joined in, but looking left and right, we still didn't see many new faces."
"Later I was really depressed and panicked, and I always felt that I had to ask for details."
"So I just chatted and brought things to people, and asked a few people who came to buy food."
"As a result, everyone said that the recent weather is really too hot. When it is hot today, I feel easily irritable and lose my appetite."
"Simply, there hasn't been much work recently, so they don't plan to have lunch."
Aunt Fang sighed and said, "As soon as I heard that this was serious, I quickly asked a few other people."
"In the end, everyone had the same idea. It's too hot and the food doesn't taste good. I really don't want to eat it."
"What's more, if you skip one meal, you will save money. However, if you don't eat this meal, you won't be unable to work."
"So they discussed it over and over, and unanimously decided not to eat this lunch."
"Yes!" Sui Ran also said: "Aunt Fang and I asked many people who came to buy food, and they all said that they didn't plan to eat the lunch meal."
"And because it is too hot during the day, everyone is prepared to take more rest at noon to avoid the heat, and then work more at night to make up for the time at noon."
"Just eat more during dinner then."
Sui Ran understood everything in his heart, but he suddenly lost a piece of business, and he was inevitably disappointed: "So we thought that we might as well not go there at noon and wait until the evening."
"And today's breakfast is not very popular."
She sighed and said, "Don't look at it. It's very hot at noon, but it's also chilly in the morning and evening. Anyone who wears less clothes will be shaking all over from the cold!"
"Isn't that what you said?" Aunt Fang was on the side, and she also disliked the weird weather: "Especially this year, I don't know what's wrong. Usually in this month, it has already become hot that day. How can it be like now? Is it like this? It’s like winter is coming!”
She sighed: "In previous years, although it was very cold in the morning and evening and very hot during the day, it is far from like this year. It was surprisingly cold in the morning and evening, and it was surprisingly hot at noon."
"Yes, yes!" Sui Ran said: "The weather this year is even weirder. I don't know if God is angry again and wants to bring trouble to us!"
"Speaking of this, I am even more worried. The few acres of land that Guicheng and I came to as a new tenant were originally used to grow crops!"
"Now in the fields, the rice is about to ear, but look at the weather?"
"It alternates between cold and hot, as if all four seasons of the year have been experienced in this day."
“I don’t know what this year’s crops will look like, but they won’t be as good as last year.”
Both of them were worried, and the more they talked, the more gloomy they became.
The weather this year is really weird.
Jiang Anning suddenly remembered that this year's crops were indeed very poor.
Although it is said that there will not be a famine, the surplus food falling into the hands of each family is much less than in previous years.
The reason why she remembered it was because at that time, she had already married Zhao Hai.
Because of this incident, Mrs. Zhang even disliked her for being a family member.
Overtly and covertly, it was revealed that it was because of marrying her that the Zhao family's harvest this year would be worse.
Later, I don’t know what happened, but Zhang suddenly became angry and called her a disaster star.
He said that it was because of marrying her that the Zhao family's harvest deteriorated. There was no surplus food and no one had enough to eat. But at that time, everyone on the table was obviously eating white rice, and there were still big bowls full of it.
Not only that, there is also a lot of good meat on the table...
Jiang Anning really didn't know how the Zhao family's life had deteriorated at that time.
But at that time, she had a weak temper and was criticized for no reason. She felt aggrieved and did not dare to reply at all.
Seeing her crying, Zhao Hai, who was her husband at the time, not only did not speak to her, but became furious, slammed his chopsticks on the table, and scolded her for being ignorant and only crying all day long. , making a good home cry into misfortune.
Naturally, she didn't dare to cry anymore and kept apologizing to others without even taking a few bites of food.
On the other hand, the whole family, after leaving her alone, happily ate all the food.
Even the white rice in her bowl was taken away by Mrs. Zhang and shared with Zhao Yuanshan and Zhao Hai.
That was the first time since she got married that she didn't have enough to eat and was hungry.
From then on, things like this began to happen more and more.
As she has been married for a long time, such things have become more and more frequent.
But it was clear that she paid for all the fields cultivated by the Zhao family at that time, and they were also in her name, and she paid the taxes.
Somehow, she caused the Zhao family to have enough to eat.
Now that Jiang Anning recalled the past, she couldn't help but feel even more stupid.
He was caught in a few words.
It's so useless.
It's just... has this year's harvest really gotten worse, or is the Zhao family exaggerating?
Jiang Anning wasn't very sure for a moment.
She thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask Sui Ran and Aunt Fang: "If the weather this year is really so bad and the harvest is likely to be worse, then should we prepare in advance and stock up on rice?" Food what?”
"My family wants to eat, so let's not talk about it. Sister-in-law Guicheng, you are going to set up a stall to sell rice. It's not good that after selling for a few days, there will be no rice for cooking at home, right?"
"If you want to do this business for a long time, just counting on the output of the few acres of land at home may not be enough."
"If this year's harvest is really bad, I'm afraid we have to make plans early."
"Otherwise, if we wait until the time comes to use it and buy rice and grain again, I'm afraid that not only will it be too late, but the price will be much more expensive."
The cost is high, and the selling price must also increase accordingly.
By then, I'm afraid there will be fewer people coming to buy.
After all, their main targets for selling food are those who work hard to make money, and they are afraid that they will be reluctant to eat more expensive food.
If the price of eating out is too expensive, or even beyond psychological expectations, I am afraid that people will have to bring dry food from home.
Before Sui Ran and the others didn't go out to set up stalls and sell food, wasn't that what those people were like?
"When you said that, it really reminded me a little bit."
Sui Ran became even more confused after hearing this: "But... no one can predict God's temper. If there is no reduction in production this year, but a bumper harvest, then if we stock up a lot of rice, wouldn't it be ruined?" In hand? ”
She really doesn't have the courage to hoard food and supplies in a big way.
After all, if you want to hoard food, you need money.
How much money does she make by setting up a stall and selling food?
If you really invest everything and stock up on rice...
Sui Ran felt anxious just thinking about it and had no idea at all.
Aunt Fang is similar.
Anything that costs money is a big deal to them.
Seeing this, Jiang Anning understood their concerns and simply stopped mentioning them.
She was about to change the topic and tell someone that maybe she could consider selling spicy soup in the morning, when suddenly many barrages flashed in front of her eyes.
【Store food! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】
【Hurry up and stock up on food! ! ! ! 】
[Must stock up on food! ! ! 】
Jiang Anning was stunned and didn't know how to react.
This barrage appeared with her rebirth, some time ago.
But there had never been a time like this... She even felt the anxiety of those behind the [barrage].
She was even more anxious than when she was first reborn, when she almost fell into Zhao Hai's trap.
But she doesn’t remember the great disaster years?
Although the grain production this year has decreased, it has not reached the point where we cannot afford to eat.
Why was Danmu so excited and eager to remind her?
[Jiang'an County has experienced a major reduction in production this year, and food prices have remained high. Although people will not starve to death, if they are not from a wealthy family, it will be difficult to have enough to eat]
Jiang Anning was slightly startled.
In her previous life, she didn't remember this happening.
Was it because she had been trapped in the Zhao family's house for a long time and never discovered it, or... the things in this life had changed because of her rebirth?
But that's not right. Although she was trapped in the Zhao family in her previous life, the entire Zhao family depended on her selling embroidery to make money, so they didn't dare to restrict her access too harshly.
At least, when she first got married, the Zhao family did not show their ugly face too much and did not restrict her actions.
That was probably this year... She also went to the county town many times to buy and sell embroidery products, and took embroidery work back home to do.
Indeed, I have never heard of food prices rising.
If what the [barrage] said is true, then maybe, maybe... it is because of her rebirth that what happened in her previous life has changed?
Wouldn't that mean that this disaster will happen because of her?
Jiang Anning pursed her lips.
She really doesn't want to treat herself harshly because of these unwarranted sins, but...
If it was really because of her that the disaster was caused... Jiang Anning suddenly felt a little blocked in her heart, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.
In her previous life, Mrs. Zhang cursed her as a disaster star who would harm her father, her mother, and the Kefu family. Anyone who had anything to do with her would be brought to ruin by her words. Her words seemed to suddenly reverberate, buzzing in her ears. The sound was so disturbing that her mind ached.
Why...
Why did God treat her so unfairly?
"An Ning? An Ning?" Aunt Fang's voice pulled Jiang Anning back from the nightmare: "What's wrong with you? You suddenly stopped talking...Why is your face so pale? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Hearing people's genuine concern, Jiang Anning felt a little more alive again.
It just quickly became tense again.
If, if what was said on the barrage is true...
Could it be that Zhang's curses are also true?
She is really an ominous person, a disaster star, born to harm everyone close to her.
