Old man Shen reached out and patted Huo Jinxi on the shoulder. "Kid, you are really smart. This is a good idea! Let's do it this way. Jianlin, take the four boys with you tomorrow and go to the town with me to buy rice. When we pay the public grain, we will say that our harvest this year is not good and we can only buy grain to make up the number. No one should be suspicious. After paying the public grain, we will sell the rice to the grain stores and restaurants in the town, or simply transport it to the county town to sell. Such good rice can be sold at a high price! Oh, and the corn, sell it together."

Anyway, we have extra money at home now, so buying 300 kilograms of rice is not a problem. It only costs about 100 yuan at most.

Old man Shen suddenly felt that he had become extravagant. In the past, he felt very sad when he spent a few dozen dollars. Now, he could spend one or two hundred dollars at will, and he didn't care about it at all.

It seems that when the family conditions improve, this person's ideas will also change.

"Okay, this is a good idea." Shen Jianlin also cast an admiring look at Huo Jinxi. This kid was indeed smart and solved the problem in one go.

Huo Jinxi was insensitive to their praise. He looked at Fubao and only cared about her reaction.

Fu Bao looked up and met his deep gaze, feeling a little embarrassed, but seeing that he had come up with a good idea, she smiled at him.

Huo Jinxi was immediately satisfied, and his heart felt sweeter than if he had eaten the brown sugar.

…

After the autumn harvest, the villagers transported the grain to pay the public grain tax, which had to be transported to the grain station outside the village.

Every household had to pay several hundred kilograms of grain, which was not a small amount, so early in the morning, the men and strong women in the village all went out.

Before daybreak, Old Man Shen took Shen Jianlin and the four children to the town to buy food. The rice they bought was very ordinary, the same as what the villagers bought, so when they paid the public grain, they really did not arouse suspicion.

Everyone in the group was secretly delighted, waiting to sell their best rice and corn and make a huge profit.

Old Mrs. Shen thought that they would be back at noon, so she took out the freshly pounded rice and put the amount for the whole family into the pot.

The rice is white and plump, and the rice cooked with it is absolutely delicious.

Sure enough, the rice was crystal white after being cooked, and it was particularly soft and glutinous in the mouth, with a strong rice aroma. The whole family felt that the rice they had eaten before was not rice and could not be compared with this at all.

The whole family enjoyed the meal very much. Even Lin Xiujuan and Fubao, who had the smallest appetite, ate a large bowl of rice in one go. Not a single grain of rice was left in the huge pot.

With such good rice and corn, the Shen family naturally had to keep some for food. They couldn't bear to sell it all. Besides, they weren't short of money now, so it didn't matter if they sold less.

The next day, Old Man Shen and Shen Jianlin packed the produce that the family had decided to sell into snakeskin bags, loaded them onto a ox cart and a rented tractor, and took them to the town to sell.

This time they were gone for a long time and didn't come back until almost dark, which made the whole family worried. But when they came in, the smiles on their faces looked like they were about to bloom, so we knew that something good had happened.

Old man Shen sat down on the stool, picked up his enamel cup and took a big gulp of water, and said excitedly: "Jianlin and I went to the town today, and the grain store and restaurant saw that our rice and corn were good, and they all rushed to buy them!"
