After hearing this, Hu Chun gritted his teeth and knelt down with a puff: "We still have fifty taels of silver, see if you can sell us three cows and some grain.

We will definitely pay off the money owed within one year. "

Seeing this, the villagers who followed behind immediately knelt down and begged.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at Hu Chun who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and he really admired him. The key is that there are too few people who can bend and stretch in front of their subordinates.

And he knew in his heart that he was mainly for the villagers, otherwise with his own ability, it would be no problem to keep their own family.

After that, he stepped forward to help Hu Chun and said, "You don't have to do this, you wait for a while, I have to discuss with other people to make a decision."

"Thank you, thank you." Hu Chun nodded again and again, and then put the money bag on the table.

Seeing this, shopkeeper Liu asked his subordinates to immediately call Chang Shun Laolan over, and then called them to the side room and told them about the matter: "What do you think about this matter?"

"It's okay to give it to them, but I'm afraid it will be troublesome if they think about it after giving it to them, especially the sweet potato." Chang Shun said at this time.

"Indeed, they are not the same as those village chiefs. The hearts of those who have been through life and death are already ruthless." Lao Ling echoed.

"Then if we don't give it, it's not that they have a better reason to make trouble, that's the most troublesome thing.

As for them making trouble after giving it, don't blame me for being rude. "

Chang Shun and Lao Ji looked at each other and said: "Since you have thought about the way out, then I will listen to you."

"How about giving them 50,000 catties of sweet potatoes, plus three cows, if you save a little, it will be enough for them to spend the winter." Shopkeeper Liu asked.

"Okay, listen to you, with such a heavy snowfall, we will definitely be able to grow sweet potatoes next year." Chang Shun said.

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, and then went back to the house with them, and told Hu Chun of their decision: "These are the maximum amount we can give you, and the sweet potato is the only time. You can arrange it yourself."

"Thank you, thank you so much." Hu Chun said with a look of surprise.

The others were also surprised, because they all knew that with these things, although they would still starve, they would not starve to death in winter.

"Then you can make a written receipt." After the shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, he quickly wrote an IOU, and marked the price of sweet potatoes as ten cents per catty.

After finishing the writing, I handed it over to them, and asked them to press their fingerprints one by one, and said: "Remember the one-year deadline, if the deadline is exceeded, it will be calculated as three-point interest."

"Thank you." Hu Chun bowed.

As for the overdue interest calculation, he didn't take it to heart, because this is normal, the key is that the interest is not high, and they can still afford it.

After they pressed their fingerprints, Shopkeeper Liu asked them to wait, while Chang Shun sent someone to the warehouse to bring them sweet potatoes.

And Hu Chun was not idle, and immediately let his legs and feet go back to report the letter, and let them go back to pick up the small cart.

In the evening, all the sweet potatoes were shipped away. Shopkeeper Liu said directly to Hu Chun: "Those sweet potatoes were squeezed out of our rations. I hope you can make reasonable arrangements, and there will be no more in the future."

"Understood, see you next year." After Hu Chun finished speaking, he bowed again, and then caught up with the team moving sweet potatoes.

As for the three ox carts, they drove back, and they even helped pull the sweet potatoes a few times.

After returning, Hu Chun called everyone together and said: "These things are our winter grain this year, so in order to save food and firewood.

I decided that everyone will cook together in a big pot, what do you think? "
