Chapter 3218 A Large Sum of Money

taking all the nutrients.This resulted in the twins being born dark and thin.Unexpectedly, after three months, the little twin's height caught up to the big twin's.Let me know if you have any other t...“Zhēn Bāngbó stood on the high platform and spoke, saying that this time he must benefit the local people, lead everyone through this year of famine and disaster, and let everyone tell their relatives in the surrounding villages,”

“This batch of rice, a total of 500 kilograms, will be sold out. The next batch won't be available until next month, so those who want to buy it should hurry up,”

"The threshing ground is swarming with people right now, even more than when Big An brother took the imperial examination and put on a big opera performance!"

"My companion and I had a hard time squeezing out of the crowd; our shoes were almost dislodged..."

In the hall, Xiaoduo finished telling all the news she had gathered in one breath, then bent down to take off her shoes, shook out the sand inside and put them back on.

"My goodness, why don't you go outside and knock some sand off your shoes I just swept the floor." Xiaohua frowned slightly and said coquettishly.

>

Little Duo stuck out her tongue playfully, "Oh, good sister-in-law, just let me off this time, I won't dare next time."

This sentence, “Good sister-in-law,” turned Xiaohua’s face red.

She glanced around the room. Fortunately, only Yang Ruqing and Cuier were here.

If the elders were here, it would be really embarrassing.

“Little Duo, you little rascal! I told you to go outside and eat sand, but you mocked me. Just wait until I get my hands on you!” Xiaohua stomped her feet angrily.

Little Duo giggled, still pretending to be innocent. "Da An is my brother, after all. You're my older brother's fiancee, which makes you my sister-in-law. Is it wrong for me to call you that Are you going to hit me Sister, you better help me out here!"

The war came to Yang Ruqing, and Yang Ruqing also smiled with squinted eyes.

But seeing Xiaohua's embarrassed face turning red like a monkey's bottom, Yang Ruqing feigned a loss of composure and said to Xiaoduo, "Don't be mischievous, come sit properly, let's get back to business."

Xiaohua hurried over and grabbed Xiaoduo's ears, pulling her to the table and making her sit down.

Little Duo grinned, "Good sister-in-law, be gentle, it hurts, it hurts!"

"Call me again! I swear I'll tear your mouth apart!" Xiaohua said.

Little Duo hurriedly pleaded, “Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore. Please let go, sister-in-law!”

Xiaohua rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Yang Ruqing also smiled and reached out to lightly poke Xiaoduo's forehead, "You, knowing that Xiaohua has thin skin still have to say this. You do the first day, Xiaohua does the fifteenth, when you talk about your in-laws, at that time Xiaohua will tease you too, see how you deal with it!"

>

Little Flower quickly replied, "That's right, that's right. Unless you never get married, otherwise, there will always be a time when it falls into my hands, humph..."

Upon hearing this, Xiaodu's face also flushed red.

>

She covered her face with a handkerchief, "Good sister, I was wrong. I won't say anything anymore, okay Please forgive me!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“That’s about right!” Xiaohua said.

The two people sat down beside Yang Ruohua.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Cuier sat on the other side, watching these three sisters chat and play, her heart filled with envy.

From the corner of her eye, Cui’er secretly glanced at Xiaohua. She was puzzled. Xiaohua was clearly less beautiful than Xiaoduo. Why would her aunt's family choose Xiaohua as the bride for the champion brother instead of Xiaoduo

I don't even know what the champion brother looks like. When I heard Grandpa and Dad mention him, it seemed like he was very handsome. If he's so handsome and studious, why would he fall for Little Flower

Cuier couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, Yang Ruqing's voice rang out again, pulling Cui'er's thoughts back.

Here, Yang Ruohing said to Xiaohua and Xiaoduo: "Go back and get some rice from Uncle Zhenbang. Get both kinds. I want to take a close look to see if he has had a change of heart and is actually selling it at such a low price. There must be something fishy going on!"

Xiaohua Xiaodu did not disappoint, and in the evening she brought two bowls of rice to Yang Ruqing's place.

"Sis, I got it. Take a look." Xiaohua said.

Yang Ruqing spent a whole dinner figuring out the magic of these two bowls of rice.

inferior brown rice, needless to say, the main problem is that there are broken rice grains mixed with a large amount of sand, stone fragments, and insect eggs.

And the slightly better kind of rice, when you look at it from the outside, is indeed very white.

When rinsed with clean water, there isn't much dust and sand inside. The cooked rice is also very white and soft.

If it were a past life, Yang Ruohong definitely wouldn't have been able to tell if there was something wrong with this rice.

But in this life, she worked in the restaurant business, and she was very strict about the food that went into her mouth.

So, when this rice ended up in her hands, after careful comparison and research, she finally figured out why Yang Zhenbang would sell this outside rice shop's six hundred wen per jin of white rice for only sixty wen.

These rice grains have all been bleached with something similar to bleach, a bleaching agent that cannot be removed by ordinary water.

Only salt water can bring out its true colors.

After revealing its true form, the rice looked dull yellow with a strange smell.

When you run your hand over it, the texture is very poor, and it crumbles easily with a light squeeze.

After being cooked in a pot, it has a slightly sour and bitter taste, and it feels like tofu pulp when you eat it.

This is some old, damp rice that has gone moldy. The yellow stuff is aflatoxin.

>

A toxin that can cause cancer if you eat too much.

Yang Ruqing told Yang Huazhong about this situation. It was a serious matter, so Yang Huazhong immediately called over Lao Yangtou, Yang Huaming, and Yang Yongxian to discuss it.

Old Yang tasted the rice and was very angry. He said, "Even though peasant families have eaten damp rice before, the granary should be better sealed against moisture."

“But dampness and mold are two different things. Mildew, that's poison, arsenic! Don’t even think about giving it to people, or pigs, they'll die.”

"This Zhenbang kid, he's so bold and audacious! Making this black money... If the ancestors of the Yang family knew about this, they would surely be furious! To have such a person come out from our lineage is a disgrace! It shames the entire Yang family!"

Yang Huaming also expressed anger about this.

“These rice he sells at sixty wen per jin, I estimate when he got it, it cost him ten wen per jin. So that means for each jin of rice sold, he can make a pure profit of fifty wen, a huge profit!” he said.

Yang Huazhong said, "Today I heard that someone brought 300 kilograms of rice to the village to sell, and it was all sold out that day."

"He said that he would still be selling tomorrow, so let's sell these 500 kilograms first, and then we can get more rice to benefit the people."

"Lao Yangtou sneered, 'This is not for the common good! This is harming people for profit!'"

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhenbangtang uncle definitely has more than five hundred catties of rice stockpiled in his granary this time. It could even be as much as five thousand or ten thousand catties!"

"Why are you saying that" Lao Yangtou asked, "Did Qing'er hear something"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Yang Ruqing tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "I've had people on the streets watching Zhenbang for a while now. Today I got word that Zhenbang used a lot of money to buy up all the silver for this season's cloth imports from the mill, using it instead to buy rice."

"He still rented five large warehouses by the wharf in Wanghai County to store grain, and each warehouse could hold tens of thousands of jin of rice. Five warehouses would be 50,000 jin."

“These grains, he will sell them continuously from now until next year's early rice harvest. If he sells them all, he could make tens of thousands of taels of silver!”

This is a astronomical sum! had already quarreled with Yu Jinguì.After the argument, she stormed back to Old Yang's house.>Because of Liu's attitude, she was kicked out. Yang Ruohua had no choice but to go back to her old home...
