The lotus leaves in the lake have withered and withered, and the hired short-term workers tied ropes around their waists and went down to touch the lotus roots. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The day laborers were all shirtless when they went into the water, and their aunt and cousin had been hiding in other yards.

Heiya had already finished her work when she came back, otherwise it would be inconvenient for her to come in now.

"I fished more than 1,000 catties, this is still a part of the seeds left in the lake, I heard that the lotus root is valuable, and it is estimated that it can be sold for young and old." My aunt said happily.

I picked about 300 catties of lotus seeds before, except for 50 catties left by my own family, and gave away 50 catties, and the rest were all sold at a price of 380 wen per catty.

This price is not too high, on average, it is only twenty-four Wen.

Lotus seeds are a rarity in the north, and they are not weighed when they are dried, and now there is no machinery, and the peeling is all done by hand.

The uncle pulled all the lotus seeds to Liujia Village, peeled a pound of lotus seeds and gave 30 yuan, and many women had to work all night, because there were so few lotus seeds, and others would earn less after peeling them.

They all knew in their hearts that if it weren't for Liu Dazhu's family to take care of them, how could they have such a high salary, and they were secretly glad that they didn't bully people when they were weak.

The lotus root can't be stored for a long time, and as soon as it was fished out, Dad Liu asked his uncle to pull some and give them to the people who were good friends in the county.

The rest of the black girl intercepted 200 catties and said it was useful, and her family kept 50 catties to eat during this time, and the rest were all sold to the restaurant in the county seat for 80 catties.

Sold for a full eighty-nine taels.

Xu Shi couldn't close his mouth happily, and repeatedly praised the house for not losing money, and only a month after moving in, the family had more than 100 taels in the account.

The black girl was happy to see her, and she was also happy, and she was going to refine the lotus roots that she left behind into lotus root powder and store them when there was no one.

"Xiaoman is going to get married next year, save her dowry now, this is the foundation for the girl to gain a foothold in her in-law's family in the future, you can't just favor the two sons." Xu Shi took his sister-in-law's hand, "Anyway, no matter how much you give, I, who is my aunt, will definitely give one hundred taels of silver at the bottom of the box." ”

"A hundred taels? There are so many of them. Jing said in surprise.

She is not patriarchal in the first place, and Xiao Man wants to buy it well when she gets married, but at most fifty taels can only be taken out even if she grits her teeth, and this sister-in-law is one hundred taels when she opens her mouth, which is really scary to death.

My cousin had just come out of the room, and when she heard her mother and sister-in-law talking about her dowry, her face flushed and her head retracted.

Heiya saw that she was holding the clothes that Su Yu changed here yesterday, and her cousin should have washed him last night, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to do it.

Women, no matter what it looked like before, this one is settled, it is this person who is full of eyes, if you meet a good person, a true love is not empty, if you meet a scumbag, you will be heartbroken in sadness and despair again and again, and your life will be ruined.

"What are you doing with a sad face, but when you hear that your cousin is married, you can't bear it?"

The mother and aunt both joked when they saw the black girl looking thoughtful.

The black girl grinned, thinking to herself that I can't tell you what I want now, otherwise you will definitely be scared to death, which eleven-year-old girl will have this kind of feeling.

While a few people were laughing, the uncle and the three elder brothers came back, saying that He Xianling invited the four of them to the house as guests in the evening.

Nine times out of ten, it's because of what they helped the victims last night.

"There won't be any trouble, is it because we sent food to the victims to make the county master displease?" Xu had only seen the couple once after moving, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and he was still in awe of the county master.

"He County Ling is not that kind of person, mother, you can rest assured." Heiya patted her mother's hands and went out with her three brothers after changing her clothes.

After arriving, she found out that her prospective brother-in-law, Su Yu, was also there.

Well, this is to invite a few parties.

Heiya and Jin Wanqiu are good friends, with her as a companion, and there is no table split, just the five of them, the county order couple, and Brother Qu.

"I heard about last night's incident, a few students have the people in their hearts and have high moral character, so I will replace the wine with tea and toast you." He Runqiu stood up and said.

Because there are female dependents, several of them are half-grown and underage, so they don't drink.

"He County Ling is polite, it is our scholarly spirit, and I acted rashly, I hope it will not cause you trouble." The others hurriedly stood up, and Su Yu spoke first.

"Please sit, please sit," He Xianling pressed his palm, "Everyone is their own person, so there is no need to say more polite words." It's just that I heard about your actions last night, and I felt emotional, so I asked you to come over for a gathering, and we will talk about other things after dinner. ”

"My sister hasn't been talking to me for a while, but there's too much going on in the workshop?" Jin Wanqiu and Heiya whispered on the side.

The black girl swallowed the food in her mouth, "Recently, I am developing a new product, and when it is done, my sister will help me see if it is good." “

"What's wrong with the things you sent, the sisters in the clan recently complained to me that Xiang Xuehai's cosmetics are difficult to buy." Jin Wanqiu said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll ask Steward Li to send you fifty sets each."

Jin Wanqiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Then my sister won't be polite to you, but fifty sets can't be used, thirty sets are enough." “

"That's thirty sets, if my sister is not enough, feel free to tell me. Look at when I've been polite to you. The black girl glanced at her fakely. She knew in her heart that it was true that things were hard to buy, but she needed to go through the door from her. It's just a way to show that she and herself are not outside.

Jin Wanqiu really felt that Heiya was the noble person of their couple, not to mention the previous things, the matter of the lead powder, she wrote a letter to the clan sister on the same day, and explained the matter in detail, without mentioning Heiya, only saying that she had unintentionally heard it.

The clan sister has been married for the past six years, and she had a son before, who was born sick and crooked, and he was gone when he was more than two years old, and the clan sister's health was not good. Now that I think about it, could it be because of the use of lead powder?

If this kind of thing is not a particularly good relationship, she will not write a letter to remind her, who knows if you tell her the truth, she will not be angry with you. That's why she didn't dare to mention Heiya's name, which is also a kind of protection for her.

Fortunately, this clan sister is quite reasonable, and when she replied to her a letter a while ago, her enthusiasm was extraordinary, hinting that she would let the brother-in-law take care of her brother-in-law in the officialdom. I think she should have verified it herself after she got the news.

It's okay to take care of those who don't take care of it, as long as the clan sister accepts her feelings, don't end up complaining with good intentions.

As for whether the clan sister will use this news to seek anything for herself, it is none of her business.

After the meal, they learned from He County's order that the day before yesterday there was news from the mansion that they were each responsible for settling the victims, and the government would give disaster relief food as appropriate.

"If you say it's discretionary, don't count on it." He Xianling smiled bitterly, "Let's be better, more than 200 people have saved a mouthful, and those places with thousands of victims, I don't know how the local county government is worried." ”

"The people who suffer left and right are the poor people who are homeless." Jin Wanqiu said helplessly.

"Then what are our plans here, and if there is anything that needs our cooperation, please ask." The eldest cousin said.

"It should be that people will be distributed to various villages one after another, and the specific details need to be considered again, your actions yesterday have already relieved my worries, for the time being, I will subsidize the food from the county government into silver for you."

"Can this silver be converted into barren mountains or wasteland?" The black girl asked.

"Oh? Where do you fancy the wasteland, but do you still need manpower? He Xianling's eyes lit up.

It would be best if they wanted to buy wasteland and open up fields, because these victims were good farmers before.

"That's what I asked, I haven't thought about it yet." The black girl sneered. The main reason is that she thinks that it is their family's good idea to give bread to the victims, what is it if the county government converts it into silver for them? It feels better to just replace it with a barren mountain or wasteland.

"If you want to buy wasteland, come to me at any time, and I will definitely not let you suffer." He Xianling said with a smile.

Coming out of the county Ling's house, Xiaoshan asked Heiya, "Big sister, do you want to buy wasteland?" ”

The black girl said embarrassedly, "I just think that we want to do good deeds to send cakes to the victims to eat, and then take the money from the county government, I think it's a little inappropriate." ”

"He County Order doesn't want us to suffer, but although we don't pay taxes for three years after changing the wasteland, it's still not cost-effective overall."

"Do you remember what our father said about the old forest in the back mountain? There are lush trees, perennial fallen leaves are piled up, it is a good fertilizer, there is water in the mountains and the environment is hidden, you can enter and exit freely from the hanging basket from the cliff wall, outsiders will not know that there is a village there, even if you want to go up, you can only take the mountain road, and you can't walk in front of you for three or four hours. ”

The more the black girl spoke, the more she felt that place was good, and her big shining eyes looked at the hill.

"Eldest sister, you want to be isolated from the world, what can you do in such a place." Xiaoshan asked dizzily.

"Black girl wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests? Isn't Liujia Village very good? The second cousin said.

Su Yu's heart moved, if it was really like what Heiya said, it was indeed a good place.

"Hey, I just think that no matter what happens, leave a way out for yourself, look at those poor victims, many of them had good conditions at home before, and when the flood came, there was nothing, if they bought a house in our Pu County at that time, they would be able to live comfortably if they sold it now." The black girl saw that her second cousin was making fun of her, and stomped her feet and said.

"What you said has some truth, then let's just buy Zhuangzi and fields in the south, why do we have to run to the mountains again." The second cousin asked again.

"If you have money in the future, you will definitely buy it there, it's not that you don't have any money now, prepare a few more places, and the cunning rabbit will also have three holes."

Su Yu knew very well in his heart that no matter whether he and his uncle succeeded or not, there would definitely be a burst of chaos at that time, and when he heard Heiya's words, he couldn't help but look up and down this future sister-in-law a few times.

Some people just have such a blessing, and they seem to do some things that others don't understand, but when they look at it later, they are all at the top of the chess game. (To be continued.) )
