In the tavern.
Zhang Feng was fiddling with his sunglasses.
At this time, except for a few key parts, the sunglasses were basically finished. It was completely designed according to the presbyopic glasses of the Republic of China.
But it didn't affect Zhang Feng's showing off.
Lying on a recliner in the backyard, he tied the legs of his sunglasses with sheep tendons and hung them on the bridge of his nose. If he was paired with a folding fan, he would look like an elegant young master.
But a stubborn one.
But obviously, Zhang Feng didn't have such an awareness.
He just looked at the clouds in the sky and was lost in thought.
"Fengzi? Are you in Fengzi? "
At this time.
Uncle He's voice slowly sounded at the door.
"Yes, Uncle He. Why are you here? I haven't seen you for a few days. Where have you been? "
Zhang Feng curiously walked into the tavern's hall and asked Old He, who had a worried look on his face.
Uncle He sighed deeply and put the wheat in his hand on the table. He said dejectedly, "What else can I do? Isn't it all because of these locusts? That auntie of yours, whenever I mention her, I feel like beating someone up. She's such a wastrel. I told her to save the wheat first, but she insisted on catching grasshoppers to make money first. Great, the grasshoppers have made a lot of money, but my business, the food business, can't continue! "
Zhang Feng was shocked.
He asked, "Uncle He, what are you talking about? The crops in the field can't do well, but the business can still go on. Why can't you do it? If you have any difficulties or are short of money, just tell me. I can still take out a million or eighty thousand yuan! "
"No, no, no. It's not like that!"
Uncle He sighed and pointed at the wheat on the table.
"There was a plague of locusts this year. Look at this. Can it be used? This thing doesn't even eat pigs now. Originally, I thought that I would be able to have a full New Year by renting three mu of land. Now, it seems that I can't even pay the rent. How can I have money to do business? "
As soon as Old He said that, Zhang Feng really felt a little awkward.
He picked up a few stalks of wheat that were full of buds, looked at them carefully, and sniffed them. Then, he peeled a grain and threw it into his mouth.
This thing really couldn't be eaten …
Zhang Feng couldn't help but frown, "You don't have to worry about the locust plague. Everything is like this now. When the time comes, the Emperor will definitely announce something. You don't have to worry about it!" Hearing this, Old He didn't feel happy, instead, he became even more worried.
"You don't know, do you? Right now, the emperor was worried about this matter! I'm not the only one with this. If it were my family, then I wouldn't have anything to say. It's because I'm incapable. But the entire Longyou, and even the entire Chang 'an area, are all like this! "
"What do you think? When the time comes, will His Majesty be able to handle it?"
"Now the Emperor has already made a lot of money because of this bone-strengthening powder. I guess he has already forgotten about it. "Hey!"
Zhang Feng patted Old He's shoulder.
"Old He, this thing is not useless. How about this, you go back and pluck all the wheat stalks in this field for me. Give me the wheat grains. I'll buy as much as you originally sold it. How about that? But this is something that only you can know. When the time comes, once my experiment is successful, then what you have and what the neighbors have won't be enough for me to buy. I reckon that when the time comes, the price of the wheat will definitely be higher than it is now! "
As he spoke, Zhang Feng lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you, but you mustn't tell anyone else!"
When Old He heard this, he looked at Zhang Feng suspiciously and said, "Tell me about it."
"When the time comes, the price of this thing might even double!"
"What? What, what's the use of this thing? "
"It's already in this state. Even pigs won't eat it. What are you going to do with it? If you really want to benefit us, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush. I, Old He, am a straightforward person. If you really want to do this, let alone me, no one in the neighborhood will be willing to do it! When the time comes, if anyone dares to sell this rotten thing to you, their ancestral graves will be dug up! "
Zhang Feng was shocked when he heard this.
"No, no, no, Old He, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that I really have a use for this thing! Do you think I'm the kind of person who would do something unreliable? "
"Yes!"
Old He nodded without hesitation.
Zhang Feng felt a headache coming on.
He didn't want to argue with him and said directly, "I'll tell you clearly. Come, let's drink a mouthful of wine first!"
Zhang Feng poured a bowl of wine for Old He and drank a mouthful. Then he said, "Old He, how is this wine?"
"It's unique. It can be said that other than here, you can't drink it anywhere else. But what does this have to do with the wheat stalks?"
"What does it have to do with?"
"It has a lot to do with it!"
Zhang Feng smiled mysteriously.
"This wine is made from grain. You know that. And the most important thing is wheat. Now you understand something, right?"
"…"
