"Yue'er, will my eldest brother take you to town tomorrow? Let's all go together. ā
Zhang Yue'er looked at the eldest brother opposite in surprise, a little excited. She hadn't been to town in all this time. Although she doesn't like to join in the fun, and she is not fun-loving, she still wants to see outside. It was just too far away for her to speak.
"Big brother, really! I haven't been there in a few days. Yue'er, the third brother will buy you something to eat tomorrow. Tell the third brother what you want to eat. ā
"Of course it's true. I discussed with your second brother, tomorrow I will go to Piaoxianglou to deliver goods, and Yueyao's embroidery will also be sold, so we will go to the town together. Today, grandpa said that we have to prepare for the repair of the house. I still have to buy some food, and if we can, we will buy the New Year's goods in advance. It is not easy to break the Yue'er collection, and now it is cheap to buy it at this time. ā
Looking at the excitement in Yue'er's eyes, I felt a little sad in my heart, they have been busy these days, neglecting her, thinking that no matter how busy they are in the future, they will leave some time to accompany Yue'er.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to Xizhuang Manziye's house and rent the ox cart, and I'll go to town early tomorrow morning. Yue'er went to bed early after drinking the soup, so she didn't have to wait for me. We'll all have to wake up early tomorrow. After saying that, he didn't stay, and hurried all the way while the night was dark.
Man Ziye, whose full name is Zhao Daman, lives in Xizhuang and has two sons, namely Zhao Dacheng and Zhao Damin, both of whom have married and had children. In the early years, the family saved some money, built a house and bought cattle. Later, the two sons had an argument with someone and accidentally injured their lives, and then paid the money through private mediation. Except for the house and an old cow, all the other belongings were built.
Grandma Manzi died of a serious illness because of this incident. Fortunately, the two daughters-in-law in the family took care of their husband's family and did not abandon their husbands and children. Now Zhao Dacheng is working as a helper in the Wu landlord's house to support the family, and Zhao Damin injured his waist due to that dispute, so he can only sit and lie down and do some manual work at home. Man Ziye pulls an ox cart and goes back and forth to Wuli Town every day to supplement his life.
After Zhang Yue'er drank the ginseng soup, she asked the second brother and eldest sister to gather all the things they were going to take to the town, except for the things that were placed on the bright side, she put them in the space. The black fungus is not heavy, but it occupies space, and she left three full baskets to put outside, and the other two baskets were placed in the space. The second brother's dexterity, these baskets are all made by him, and some tables and chairs at home are also made by him.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yue'er was picked up and dressed before she woke up. When I opened my eyes, it was still dark outside. packed up his things and arrived at the entrance of the village, and Man Ziye was already waiting there.
"Master Man, you're early!" Brother and sister Zhang Jiahang greeted each other.
Man Ziye, who was sitting in the ox cart, held his cigarette gun and replied: "It's not early, when we arrive in the town, there will be more people, and we must occupy a good position then." Put the things on both sides first, and then you will sit in the middle, but you have to take care of the two little ones, it is cold this morning! ā
Zhang Jiahang listened, and while carrying the black fungus and mother-in-law Ding covered with wild vegetables into the ox cart, he asked Zhang Yueyao to sit in it with Zhang Yue'er wrapped in a small quilt, and then pulled Zhang Jiaze and Zhang Jiaxuan into the ox cart.
When the prince saw that they were seated, he drove the ox cart to the town. Zhang Yue'er sat on the ox cart, tightening the clothes on her body, and her heart was calm. Listening to the sound of gurgling wheels along the way, you will slowly see some merchants and ox carts hurrying forward with them, and occasionally see familiar ones coming forward to say hello, and then chatting and going on the road together.
When they arrived in Wuli Town, Zhang Jiahang asked Man Ziye to stop the ox cart at the bend of Piaoxianglou. Remove the things from the car and tidy them up, and make an appointment with Master Man for the time and place of the afternoon meeting.
At this time, Piaoxianglou had not yet opened, Zhang Jiahang led his younger siblings to the back door and asked the guy, and after a while, the shopkeeper Lin came out, "Brother Zhang, I knew that you would come over today, but I didn't expect it to be so early." Let's still use the price last time this time, I will take as many as you have, let's weigh it first. ā
Zhang Jiahang was overjoyed when he heard this, and then said. "Shopkeeper Lin, I came by renting an ox cart today, and I brought a lot of them, you can collect as much as you can, and if you can't, I'll take it back." In addition to the black fungus on the ox cart, he just moved two large baskets from Yue'er. Almost all the family is here, and the rest are not going to be sold, so they are kept for their own food.
Shopkeeper Lin nodded in his heart when he heard this, this little brother of the Zhang family is good, kind-hearted, and duty-bound. He had already seen several large baskets of black fungus on the ground just now, and now there are indeed not so many in the store, but when the words are spoken, it is naturally difficult to take them back. Unexpectedly, he didn't say that he would sell it to someone else if he couldn't receive it.
In addition to his family's black fungus, he has also collected a small amount of other ones, but the quality is not good, there will always be some small, broken, and poorly colored ones in it, and there will even be dead leaves in it, and the sun is not dry enough. Although the price of other families is cheap, he still likes the little brother of the Zhang family, doing business, good quality is guaranteed, it is really not worth it to care about so little money, and it is not much worse to calculate.
"It's okay, I've taken it all. These black fungus can be preserved, and I can still consume them in this store. ā
Zhang Jiahang knew about the business of Shopkeeper Lin's shop, and knew that he was like this because of what he said just now, but he couldn't accept it. These diners are just trying to make a fresh appearance, and when the restaurants are on the table, they can't sell the price, and their family is just in a hurry.
"Shopkeeper Lin, the kid can't sell it like this, I can still estimate the daily consumption of Piaoxianglou, you definitely won't need so much. If you take it all, just take it at 300 yuan. ā
Today is his lack of consideration, he shouldn't take out so much at once, if he really listens to Shopkeeper Lin and lets him take it all, this business may not be able to continue. Although he doesn't plan to sell black fungus again this year, what about next year? Or do they have something else to sell? And this line was set up with the help of Brother Jishan, so he couldn't let Brother Jishan suffer because of this.
Shopkeeper Lin was even more satisfied when he heard it, this kid is steady and upright, and knows that there are some things that he doesn't deserve, and some people don't understand this truth even if they are old. He also saw a few children standing next to him, and he heard Zhang Butcher say something about their family last time, this child is also pitiful, there is no adult in the family, and it is not easy to bring a few younger siblings.
After going through it in his heart, he responded: "Jiahang, you don't need to say more, just according to the price last time, I will accept all 320 Wen a catty." You kid is too honest, how can you push the money out, you don't have to be so careful, just do as I say. ā
Seeing that he didn't say anything, he said again: "Don't worry, the black fungus you brought here is of good quality and worth the price." Besides, because of the black fungus, I launched a new dish, but I made a lot of money, and I have to thank you! ā
