Ye Hexiang's father and mother are gone, she and her sister-in-law are not in harmony, and it is not interesting to stay in the Ye family all the time, anyway, the gift of returning to the door has been fulfilled. When Wei Yunhai got off the table, Ye Hexiang pulled Wei Yunhai to say goodbye and left the Ye family.

The two brothers, Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu, were only sent back by Uncle Fu's carriage when they were in the fifth year of junior high school, and when they came back, they were all new from top to bottom. The new clothes that Zhang Xing hurriedly made were packed and thrown into a corner of the carriage. Ye Hexiang couldn't help but taunt her daughter: "Have you seen it?" The clothes you made in a hurry are still not looked down upon by others! If you have that spare time, you might as well do it for your own brother! ”

For her words, Zhang Xing used to enter the left ear and out the right ear. Her mother didn't want to think about it, she wanted Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to wear a tattered dress to Uncle Fu's house, and according to Uncle Fu's explosive temperament, why didn't she come to the door directly? At that time, the first person to lose face was not Wei Yunhai, but her stepmother. Her sewing work is not at home, people can look down on her, she can do something else, but she will not scold her.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone began to get busy, and people who had been hiding from taxes and begging for a New Year returned home one after another. The fields are to be renovated and the seeds to be planted. The Wei family is in debt for the New Year, and now at the beginning of the year, all kinds of farm tools and seeds need money, and the family has no savings at all. Ye Hexiang persuaded many times to use the money given by Uncle Fu to Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to study. Wei Yunhai should not.

Ye Hexiang retreated and said, "Brother Wei, why don't you do this?" Min Wen is already old, and he hasn't read anything famous for so many years, and he has to help people with farm work at home, so he won't read it, and let Min Wu read it alone. What do you think? "It's better to save someone money for studying than to get nothing at all.

Wei Yunhai thought for a moment. Still shook his head, "No! This is the money that my uncle gave Min Wen and Min Wu to study. If I move, what will I say? ”

Ye Hexiang was so anxious that she grinded her teeth, so she had to watch Wei Yunhai carry the money and send Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to Weijiazhuang's private school.

Zhang Xing also began to get busy, the seller finally entered the village, and many women in Weijiazhuang came around, buying needlework and other bits and pieces, and also embroidered their own handkerchiefs to make sachets of the Lang or exchange or sell them to the seller. Zhang Xing noticed that most of the women in the village could sell fifteen copper plates for the handkerchiefs embroidered, and the daughter-in-law of Ru'anzi, who was a good embroiderer, could get twenty copper plates. Making sachets is more complicated than embroidering handkerchiefs, because it is necessary to pay attention to embroidery. I also have to be able to make dried flowers and incense, etc., and there are only two or three women in the whole Weijiazhuang who take out incense sachets to sell, and one sachet can get twenty-six or seven copper plates.

Zhang Xing didn't know anything about making dried flowers and incense, so he planned to buy a few pieces of net handkerchief and paint his own pattern embroidery. The price of the net handps in the seller's load is different according to the material of the cloth. The good ones cost fifteen or sixteen yuan a piece, and generally they cost ten yuan a piece, and the worse ones cost six or seven yuan a piece. Zhang Xing is a novice, so naturally he doesn't dare to take it big. Buy three pieces each for the poor and the average.

Because she knew that her mother Ye Hexiang's eyes were shining when she saw the money, Zhang Xing hid the matter of buying cloth from Ye Hexiang, and tried to avoid her when embroidering, but she was still seen by Ye Hexiang. Zhang Xing only vaguely said that she was learning embroidery from Wei Yun'er next door, and she was also looking for the cloth head.

Ye Hexiang saw that the cloth head was rough. said: "Study hard, and after a while, my mother will buy some clean handkerchiefs for you to embroider." This piece of cloth can get fifteen or sixteen copper plates. ”

Wei Yunhai borrowed some more money and finally planted this year's rice in the ground. But the rice jar at home is almost bottoming out, and Wei Yunhai frowns all day long. The harvest is still far away. Helplessly, there was not much to do in the field for a while, so Wei Yunhai went to work on the wharf of Zhanghe Town with a few strong laborers in the village, and he got a few copper plates every day to barely support his family.

Wei Yunhai goes out early and returns late every day, and all the things in the field are handed over to Ye Hexiang. Ye Hexiang rarely goes to the field all day long. Zhang Xing didn't know anything about the work in the crop field, but fortunately, the gentleman in the private school in Weijiazhuang was not in good health, and he often took half-day classes and half-day vacations, so Zhang Xing took Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to go to the field to see. encountered something that these two people didn't know, so he went to ask Wei Baohong, the son of Aunt He's family next door.

When she said that she was going to sell the mushrooms to the town, Wei Yunhai's eyes widened, and he only shook his head and said, "How can this be sold?" "There are so many woods, and many families know that this can eat the dead, and their families can eat it themselves, if they carry it to the market and sell it, they won't be scolded to death?

Zhang Xing smiled and said: "Uncle, the mushrooms in my back basket are all edible, and the dried ones taste different from the fresh mushrooms, don't believe it, I'll cook it for you tonight, you can eat it, and then say if you can sell it." ”

Wei Yunhai nodded in disbelief. They have eaten the mushrooms made by Zhang Xing many times, and they taste fresh, and no one has had an accident for a long time. The same dish is made by her mother, and the taste is simply incomparable.

On this day, Zhang Xing cut the remaining half of the rabbit meat into pieces, and burned a dry pot with the dried mushrooms. Only the kitchen utensils are incomplete, and when the dishes are baked, they are still loaded with porcelain plates. But the whole family still ate everything, Wei Yunhai almost swallowed his tongue, looked at Zhang Xing and nodded.

When Wei Yunhai went to work in Zhanghe Town the next day, he put the basket containing the mushrooms on his back, because he didn't have time to sell them himself, so he promised some benefits and sent them to a familiar grocery store. Who knew that three or four days had passed, and no one in the back basket had asked about the mushrooms, and they had suffered a lot of blank eyes. The grocery store shopkeeper was ridiculed in vain, and refused to put Wei Yunhai in his store.

Wei Yunhai had no choice but to carry the things back as they were, and said to Zhang Xing, "Just keep it for our family to eat by ourselves." ”

Just keep it for yourself, you can't eat this alone. Zhang Xing felt that it was better to try her luck, so she didn't believe that she couldn't find anyone who dared to eat crabs. However, after this blow, Wei Yunhai said that he would not agree to Zhang Xing going to the town to sell mushrooms again.

Zhang Xing hit Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu with the idea, and these two heard that Zhang Xing was going to go to the town to sell mushrooms, so Zhang Xing would go together. Zhang Xing waited for a private school to have a full-day holiday, so he carried a basket on his back and secretly took Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to Zhanghe Town.

Because Uncle Fu's house is in the town, Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu often come to the town and are very familiar with Zhanghe Town.

Zhang Xing does not go to the market. Just kidding, Wei Yunhai has touched a nail, she went to the market to sell mushrooms by a girl, wouldn't it be even more scolding?

Zhang Xing wanted to try his luck at the Juyuan Building he saw last time. This Juyuanlou is the largest and most famous restaurant in Zhanghe Town, with many guests coming and going from the south to the north, and it is easier to accept new things.

It's just that she's just a little girl, she has no money and no power, and people don't know her, so it's still a question whether she can enter the gate of Juyuan Building, let alone sell things to his house.

Therefore, Zhang Xingcai fooled Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu out - isn't Uncle Fu's house from Zhanghe Town? His rice shop is so close to Juyuanlou, and the two families know each other, maybe there are still some contacts, ask him to build a bridge in it, isn't it much better than her being stunned and selling on the street?

When Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu heard that Zhang Xing was going to Juyuan Building to sell mushrooms, their eyes widened. Wei Minwu was even more surprised: "Juyuan Building? Are you going to sell these mushrooms to Juyuanlou? Will they want it? ”

Zhang Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do, so I want to ask the two of you for help." If we go to Juyuan Building like this, maybe we will be kicked out before we open our mouths, but Uncle Fu's rice shop and Juyuan Building are next door, Uncle Fu must know the shopkeeper of the restaurant, if we can ask him to come forward and help us say a few good words, maybe this thing can really be done. ”

The two brothers Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu looked at each other, one of them is fourteen years old and the other is twelve years old this year, although they are naughty, they are not stupid, what is the situation of the Wei family, they also know a little bit. Who doesn't want their life to be better? Although they hate Ye Hexiang, they don't have a bad impression of Zhang Xing, who can catch rabbits and cook on fire. They also helped pick this mushroom, and it was good for them to sell it.

Wei Minwen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to my uncle, but he won't agree, I'll ......."

Wei Minwu grabbed Wei Minwen and stopped him from continuing, looked at Zhang Xing slyly, and said: "My uncle has a bad temper, he is not so easy to convince, the two of us beg him, maybe we will be taught a lesson by him, I don't want to ask him for scolding!" If you want the two of us to beg him, we have to give him some favor, or I won't do it!" ”

"What benefits do you want? It's good for our family to sell this mushroom. Zhang Xing looked at Wei Minwu with a smile. It's good to have wishes, children with wishes generally work hard to achieve their goals, her second brother dares to make conditions, and she must be sure to persuade Uncle Fu in her heart.

Wei Minwu thought for a while, pointed to the back basket behind Wei Minwen, and said, "The money from the sale of this mushroom will be given to us!" ”

Things haven't been sold yet, so I want to divide the money. Zhang Xing was amused in her heart, she was not sure of anything, her second brother had already been regarded as an ironclad thing. "Do you want to divide the money? How much do you want? ”

Wei Minwu looked at Wei Minwen and hesitated to stretch out a slap.

"Penny?" Zhang Xing laughed in her heart, didn't this kid take any money? That's a big idea.

Wei Minwu shook his head, "No! My brother and I each have to get five cents. ”

"Okay." Zhang Xing pondered for a moment and nodded, "However, I have to make it clear first, if this mushroom can be sold, you can get the money, if it can't be sold, you can't blame me." I don't know where this kid got so much faith.

Wei Min Wuman didn't care about waving his hand, "Zhilu said." Although he had heard many people say that mushrooms would kill people if they were eaten, he had never seen them with his own eyes, he only knew that he had eaten them too many times, and he had not seen anything happen. Besides, the dishes made by Zhang Xing are really delicious, and he has not been to Juyuanlou, and the dishes made by the master here are really not as good as the dry pot rabbit meat that Zhang Xing cooked a few days ago.
