Chapter 31 Earn money and be satisfied
"Dad, are we all sold out?" Chen looked at the empty two baskets of persimmons in front of him, and he was still a little incredulous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gu Dazhuang was also in a state of stunnedness, not to blame him, it was really a worthless thing in their Lotus Village and even the surrounding villages, and they didn't even feed the pigs and dogs, but now they were robbed so quickly in a blink of an eye, and even a few people didn't buy it to blame them for taking too little.
"Ahh Chen suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Gu Dazhuang hurriedly asked.
"Guess how much money we've made today?" Chen's face was rarely excited, and his eyes were shining.
"How much?" Gu Dazhuang spent the first half of his time in a daze, and helped pick up persimmons in the second half, as for how much money he sold, he had no idea at all.
"It's almost 700 wen." Chen took a deep breath before looking at Gu Dazhuang and said.
"What!" Gu Dazhuang was taken aback, "How much?" ”
"Hurry up to 700 wen." Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw him like this, "This is still that we didn't bring a scale, and we gave a lot more, otherwise, there may be one or two!" ”
Gu Dazhuang's mouth couldn't close in surprise, he knew that he had made money, but he didn't expect to make so much money.
"Siniang, did you cast a spell?" Gu Dazhuang looked at his five-year-old daughter and smiled.
"Isn't that it?" Gu Siniang nodded beautifully, her little face was full of seriousness.
"This is a business-free business, and the mountains are full of ready-made persimmons, can't this be exchanged for money?" As soon as Gu Dazhuang's head turned, his mood became excited, no wonder he was excited, it was too easy for this money to come.
"Isn't that it?" Gu Siniang stood up, her little face full of confident smiles.
"Then let's go home quickly, go back and go to the mountains to pick some persimmons again." Gu Dazhuang thought that the persimmons all over the mountain were ready-made silver, and he couldn't sit still.
Gu Siniang looked at her father so excited, and pulled his sleeve a little helplessly, "I can't go back yet." ”
"What?" Gu Dazhuang looked at her puzzled.
"The jars at home are too small, and there are too few persimmons to make at one time, so we still need to buy two large jars, and there will be more finished products when the time comes."
"Then buy two larger stoneware jars, so that you don't have to wait days for the next batch to be finished once." Chen said after a moment's thought.
"Mother is right, buy two first." Gu Siniang agreed, according to her meaning, at least more than ten large vats should be fermented together, and there would be more finished products at that time, but now the conditions are limited, and the market has not been fully opened, only a small number of people try to accept it. If you can't sell too much, persimmons are easy to rot, so you can only take them step by step.
"Then what are we waiting for, go now." Gu Dazhuang said that he would do it, neatly packed up the three empty baskets on the ground, and walked forward with his head held high.
Gu Siniang was helpless, when did her father's temperament become like this.
In the end, two coarse porcelain jars were ordered in a grocery store, each for 350 yuan, and two cost 700 yuan.
On the way back, the family of three had nothing in their hands, and in addition to spending all the money they had from selling persimmons, they even spent the spare money on their bodies, resulting in the three of them not even having money to sell buns, so they could only rush back hungry.
Although they were hungry, everyone had a smile on their faces.
When they returned to Lotus Village, it was already dark and the sun had set earlier in the mountains.
Smoke rose from every house, curling green smoke rose, and the sunset hit the houses, as if to coat those seemingly ordinary houses with a layer of faint gold, and it was as beautiful as a painting from a distance.
Ma was already stir-frying in the kitchen, and when they got home, the yard was already full of aroma.
"Why did you come back so late?" When Ma saw them enter the door, he said angrily.
"Mother, is there anything to eat?" Gu Dazhuang hurriedly entered the kitchen, took a baked green onion cake, and scalded his hands to and fro.
"Well deserved! How old are you. How might it be better than a few children! Ma Shi glanced at him and stretched out his hand to push him, "Go, go, I'm busy, don't get in the way here." ”
"Hehe, mother, I'm very hungry, eat one first. I will take advantage of the fact that it is not dark to go up the mountain. Gu Dazhuang stuffed the cake into his mouth as he spoke, and he went down in three strokes.
"Why do you have to go up the mountain, it's going to be dark this day." Ma said with a frown.
"Specifically, you can ask the child and her mother. Without further ado, I'll leave now. After Gu Dazhuang finished speaking, he hurriedly took a flat shoulder and carried two empty baskets to go out.
"Big brother, I'll go up the mountain with you too." Gu Sizhuang walked out of the house and happened to hear his words.
Gu Dazhuang waved his hand, "Fourth, it is important for you to study, and you don't need to go up the mountain." ”
"I also have to rest when I study, and I should relax when I go to the mountains." After Gu Sizhuang finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Dazhuang to speak, he went directly to pick up two empty baskets with a flat pole, and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”
"You two go early and come back early, and you'll eat right away." Chen turned around and shouted at the backs of the two.
"What's going on?" Ma asked.
"Dazhuang can't sit still, today's persimmons are selling exceptionally well, he wants to hurry up and pick some more." Chen said as he neatly minced the shallots on the board.
"Oh? Is it? Ma's face was a little surprised, and then he understood after thinking about it.
Gu Siniang tightened the room directly, and fell headlong on the bed, she was so tired that she was sore all over the day.
"Siniang, Siniang, get up and talk about it, how is it selling today?" Gu Sanniang climbed onto the bed, pulled her arm and said.
"The third sister asked me to slow down for a while, I'm so tired." Gu Siniang's voice was weak, not to blame her for being delicate, but she was just a five-year-old doll now.
"Sanniang, don't make trouble with Siniang, let her rest, it's been a tiring day." Gu Yuanniang and Gu Erniang sat together embroidering a handkerchief, and seeing this, Gu Yuanniang couldn't help but say.
"Okay, okay, you'll have to talk to me later." Gu Sanniang pouted and reluctantly climbed off the bed.
"Erniang, come and eat candy." Gu Erniang took out the crumpled little sugar cube from her pocket, and at first glance she had treasured it for a long time.
"Isn't this what my mother gave us during the Chinese New Year?" Gu Sanniang took the candy cube and saw it at a glance.
Gu Erniang was a little shy, and said embarrassedly, "I don't like candy, I forgot about it in my pocket at that time." ”
"Second sister, you're so good." Gu Sanniang thought about it and knew that it was given to her because the second sister was reluctant to eat.
"Eat quickly, why are you talking so much." Gu Erniang smiled, lowered her head and continued to embroider the handkerchief on her hand.
Gu Siniang lay on the bed for a while, then felt much more comfortable, turned over and saw that the three sisters were sitting on the kang not far away embroidery, Yuan Niang and Erniang were old, and the action of threading needles and threads was very skilled. Sanniang is younger, not long after she started, frowning, thinking for a long time for each stitch, occasionally making mistakes, and the two sisters are patiently guiding.
She lay lazily on the bed, and suddenly she had a feeling of being quiet.
