By the time Chen Yang returned to the village with a large cart of things, it was already evening.

Because he was not worried about Xiao Qian, he first went home to take a look at Xiao Qian, who was handed over to the fourth uncle to take care of, and then used a wheelbarrow to send the rice, meat, snacks and other things entrusted by Aiqiang's grandmother to Niu Piqiang's house.

When I arrived at Cowhide Qiang's house, there was only Grandma Aiqiang in the yard, and Cowhide Qiang and Cowhide Hui probably ran out to play and didn't come back.

Grandma Aiqiang seemed to have just returned from the mountains, with a few green leaves remaining on her messy and sparse gray-white short hair, and grass seeds and grass foam sticking to her rough old clothes.

When Chen Yang pushed the wheelbarrow into the yard, she was squatting on the concrete floor of the yard to choose a mountain pepper.

Looking at the verdant mountain peppers all over the ground, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Grandma Aiqiang, you picked a lot of mountain peppers today, it is estimated that there are fifty catties." ”

"I don't know. Grandma Aiqiang said with a smile, "I don't know the scales, but it seems that it should be similar." ”

She stood up, helped remove the items from the car one by one, and then handed over the money needed to buy them to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang put the money down, looked at the fragrant mountain pepper on the ground and said, "If there are fifty catties here, it will be one hundred yuan." ”

Listening to this amount, the smile on Grandma Aiqiang's face widened.

She said with a little excitement: "I don't know if there is, if there is, it would be great." ”

"Definitely, don't worry. Chen Yang said, "I've looked at the scales for so long, and I won't be wrong." ”

"Alas, I have walked everywhere today to pick so much. Grandma Aiqiang sighed, "I don't know where to pick it tomorrow." The mountains are full of green trees and grass, and the peppercorns are green all over the body, and it is not easy to find them because of the unfavorable eyes. ”

Chen Yang felt this deeply.

I think that at the beginning, he was also the one who picked mountain peppers and sold them.

However, when he picked mountain peppers, it was only two or three cents a catty.

Now, although he has systematic skills, he can browse the situation in the mountains at will, and he can look for traces of mountain pepper to his heart's content, and the price of mountain pepper has also increased from two or three cents a pound in the past to two yuan a pound now, but he feels that there is no way out for picking mountain pepper and selling it......

Because the task quota given by the system is 100,000 yuan! Relying on picking pepper to sell for 100,000 yuan is simply a fantasy.

However, instead of picking it yourself, you can help the village aunts and grandmothers find the mountain peppers in the mountains, and then instruct them to pick them. In this way, they can avoid many detours, save time, and will not search aimlessly.

If they pick 100 catties a day, they can sell them for 200 yuan.

As soon as this idea germinated in my heart, before I could implement it, I saw a tall and fat big fat man walking down from the intersection.

Chen Yang knew this person, and this person would go into the village every year in this season to buy mountain pepper.

Chen Yang's mountain pepper was also sold to this person back then. So, this man has been harvesting mountain pepper for more than ten years.

Because he is fat, he has the word 'people' in his name, so he is called 'fat people'.

The fat man walked to the yard and looked at the peppers all over the ground, and his chubby face was instantly full of smiles.

He put down the old-fashioned weighing rod and snakeskin bag, walked over to the mountain pepper, grabbed a handful with his hand, and praised, "I picked a lot of them today, and they were very clean." ”

Grandma Aiqiang smiled and said, "Today is a little more than yesterday, but it's not easy." I walked several mountains to pick so much, I entered the mountain just after dawn in the morning, and I just got home, and now I don't even have time to sit on the bench. Boss, when will the purchase price of your purchase go up?"

"Oh, this price is not set by me, it is set by the real boss, I am an errand runner, and I only get a dime for a pound of mountain pepper. Moreover, this year's prices have increased by half compared to last year. ”

The fat man put the mountain pepper into the bag and said with a smile: "It's okay, two yuan a catty, if you work hard, if you pick a hundred catties a day, you can have two hundred yuan." ”

Grandma Aiqiang smiled: "A hundred catties? You think it's the soil in the mountains, go into the mountains to dig it, this mountain pepper generally grows in the bushes, is entangled by some grass and vines, it is difficult to find, sometimes you don't know when you walk by it." ”

"So, if you don't work hard, I go to other villages to collect it, and I can often collect a hundred catties from one person. "The fat people have stuffed all the mountain peppers into snakeskin bags.

He hooked the hook of the old-fashioned large scale rod to the snakeskin bag, and then used a wooden stick to pass through the iron hoop on the top of the scale rod, looked at Chen Yang and said, "Come, young man, help carry it." ”

Chen Yang immediately went over and raised one end of the wooden stick with his hand.

The fat man was at the other end of the stick, the iron ring of the weighing rod was in the middle of the stick, and the snakeskin bag hanging from the iron hook rose from the ground.

The fat man played with the iron wire hanging from the big scale, and said with words: "Here are ten catties, twenty catties, thirty catties, thirty-five catties, thirty-six catties, thirty-seven catties, thirty-seven catties and a half." ”

Only thirty-seven and a half pounds? Chen Yang was puzzled.

"Ah, it's only thirty-seven and a half pounds?" Before Chen Yang could speak, Grandma Aiqiang said with a look of disbelief, "How can it be only thirty-seven and a half pounds? There are at least forty catties here." ”

"That's thirty-seven and a half pounds. The fat man said with some displeasure, "If you don't believe it, you can count it yourself." ”

Grandma Aiqiang leaned forward and stood on tiptoe looking at the scale rod, but she didn't know how to count.

She said to Chen Yang: "Xiaoyang, you help me count." ”

Chen Yang nodded, counted twice on the scale rod, and the weight he got was thirty-seven and a half catties.

The fat people laughed and said: "I said thirty-seven and a half pounds, you still don't believe it, will I still pit you?"

Grandma Aiqiang frowned and stopped talking. Although she was convinced that the peppercorns she had picked today were more than what she was now weighing, she could not say anything about the fact that the facts were in front of her.

After all, the entire Xinwu Village Village Committee bought mountain pepper from the fat people's family, and if they had to argue with him and offend him, it would probably be difficult to sell mountain pepper in the future.

Chen Yang also felt that something was wrong.

He lifted the mountain pepper in the bag, which was heavy, at least about fifty catties.

"That's not right. Chen Yang said, "When I mention this, I feel that there are almost fifty catties of mountain pepper in this bag." How can it be only thirty-seven and a half pounds?"

"Huh. The fat man chuckled twice, "If your hands are so accurate, then what do you need to scale?

Chen Yang was speechless at these words.

Indeed, his arms are not weighing rods, and if you want to compare with the weighing rods, it is indeed too inferior.

However, with his own acumen, he can not only be sure that the mountain pepper in the bag is about fifty catties, but he can also be sure that the fat man must have moved on the scale.

However, he had never done anything like fraud, so naturally he would not know how these profiteers did it.

Therefore, in the absence of evidence, it is not possible to say that others are fake.

Besides, Grandma Aiqiang is kind and never willing to quarrel with others, if she quarrels with fat people in her yard, I am afraid it will embarrass Grandma Aiqiang.
