Chapter 43: Follow the Trend
Speaking of jewelry, the owner remembered, he brought a gift to Li Niang, silver is not worth much in the future, he bought a lot of silver jewelry, and then threw a set to Li Niang, as a reward for her first time to complete the planting task.
And such a reward is piled up in the mustard seed space of the owner, and it will be slowly sent to Li Niang in the future.
Later generations do not use heads, this set of jewelry only has a necklace, rings, earrings and bracelets, but no matter the workmanship, the pattern is incomparable to the current craftsmen.
The happy Li Niang wore a full set of jewelry, and was disgusted by the owner, wearing a boy's clothes and wearing these, didn't she poke his old man's eyes.
Li Niang is aggrieved, who doesn't work in clothes that are good for activities, and she is not a fairy who can do things in a flower skirt, she is a mortal! Mortal!
Two unscrupulous old immortals, drinking wine and eating snacks watching funny cartoons of cats and mice, and teasing Li Niang from time to time, oops, this atmosphere is so old that even the Heavenly Dao Tribulation that is getting closer and closer has been forgotten for the time being.
After dawn, Li Niang went into the kitchen and muttered to her brother who got up early to cook, saying that the cat and mouse in the cartoon were so funny, but unfortunately the brother and brother couldn't see it, and that the fairy was not reliable, and if it wasn't for her insistence, the wine fairy would definitely have to pay for the dried fish.
"Brother, this hundred taels will be given to you, and I will use it to buy a carriage."
Shubai beat the small silver ingots with five ingots, feeling as heavy as a mountain, "Li Niang, it's useless brother, the burden of the family is all on your shoulders alone." ”
"Brother, are you outside? We are a family, how can we divide you and me. Li Niang hugged one of her brother's arms and rubbed her face, muttering coquettishly, "If there is no brother behind to support, Li Niang will not be able to get money no matter how great her ability is, and even if she is lucky, she will not be able to keep it, so brother, you study hard, and you will become a big official in the future to seek the well-being of the people, and you can better protect my sister and me." ”
"Hmmm! Brother must work hard! You won't be disappointed! Shubai put away the money and turned around, wiped away the tears in his eyes without a trace and continued to knead his face, he had to read books, he had to help with housework as much as possible, and he had to do his best to support his younger brothers and sisters.
The sky is exposed to the white belly of the fish, and a carriage of the Jinshui Carriage Company is parked at the door of Mo's house, this is an appointment between Shubai and the car dealer yesterday, you can't call Zhang San'er every day, Uncle Cheng's big family business, and you often use the carriage, right?
The carriage was stuffed with corn cobs, Shubai was still dressed in a dozen old clothes, dressed like a peasant boy and the coachman sat in front, waving to his younger brothers and sisters, "It's hot, stay at home, don't run around, brother will come back and bring you cold cakes." ”
Qingyuan smacked his lips and gestured two fingers, "I want two pieces of cold cake." ”
"You write big characters well, and my brother will bring you two pieces." Shubai smiled and turned his head and asked the coachman to go.
It wasn't until the carriage was out of sight that Li Niang and Qingyuan turned around, and the heavy work at home was taken care of by her brother, and Li Niang was left to take care of the little baby to guide him to learn calligraphy.
The sun is rising higher and higher, knowing that it is desperately screaming, the sky is clear and cloudless, God has no intention of crying, now not only the Jinshui River, even the water level in the well has dropped sharply, there are people carrying water by the river all day and night, Li Niang can imagine if she does not enter the village, the village must have lined up in a long queue for the two draft wells that are public.
Jiang and Li Duoer came to the end of the village with a wicker basket, and saw that the corn in the field was about to die, very depressed, Jiang picked up what could be eaten, Li Duoer ran to the back of the field on a whim to take a look, and immediately screamed.
"Mother! Li's mother's corn has all been cut down! ”
"Huh? Let me see! ”
After a while, the two of them went to Mo's house and knocked on the door, and when Li Niang opened the door, she was pulled up by Jiang Shi and asked what was going on with her family's cornfield.
"My corn field has been watering, and it is growing well, and my brother said that he picked the young corn in the city to sell it, and he was afraid that he would die if it was late." Li Niang told the truth, "Auntie, we didn't waste the grain, my brother has already sold a stubble yesterday, so it is easy to sell, and many people grab five dollars and one pound." ”
Jiang Shi and Li Duoer both gasped, and the cornmeal was only sold for five wen a catty, this corn cob with stubble and leaves, the gross weight was not old or young, and selling five wen was really profitable.
Jiang Shi thought a little carefully, but he was embarrassed to say it, Li Duoer didn't think so much, and directly handed her basket forward, "Li Niang, help me take a look, can corn cobs like mine be sold for Wuwen?" ”
You don't need to look at it to know that the corn of the two families can't be compared, but this is more hurtful to say, Li Niang decided to speak with facts, she took Jiang's mother and daughter to the wing, there are still some tender corns piled up here, and when the two are compared, Jiang's face is dark.
Li Duoer said: "This watering is different from not watering, mother, I told you to water here too, but you don't listen." ”
"You don't want to, don't you take care of the wheat field first." Jiang's heart hurts terribly, five dollars a catty, her family's three acres of corn, if Du Changli's mother's family has such a big corn cob, how much does it have to be sold, where can the income from renting ox carts compare, a big loss!
Jiang Shi and Li Duoer sighed, regretting that they didn't come to see it earlier, Li Niang persuaded a few words, but she would never take the initiative to tell people that the taste of her own corn was the reason for the high price.
After sighing, she tried to take remedial measures, Li Duoer ran home as soon as she slipped away, called her family out to break the corn cob, picked all the good ones, and pulled them to the town at noon, selling boiled tender corn like the Mo family.
When Li Da Niu started to sell, he also priced five pennies a stick, but after squatting for a long time, the people who asked did not buy one more, so Li Daniu, who was already lacking in confidence, immediately reduced the price, and only sold two pennies per stick, which was a price with big meat buns, and it was actually sold out when it was dark.
Shubai returned to Xiaowan Village at night, and he had more than 2,000 taels of silver in his bag, but he still hadn't bought a car, because when he consulted with the shopkeeper Chen about the carriage purchase, the shopkeeper Chen said to him: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will blow it." ”
Shubai explained to Li Niang that now people's hearts are not ancient, the situation is unstable, and other people's families are about to run out of food, if they still do a lot of things, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
He also thought about moving to the town with his younger siblings, or simply moving to the city to live, but these two thousand taels sounded like a lot, and it was still far from buying a house in the town.
"It doesn't matter, it's the same when you have money, renting a car." Li Niang thought about it, and in turn comforted her brother, "The village is very quiet, and we have to help the owner of the village promote agriculture to earn merit and credibility, and we have to stay in the village for at least three years or more than five years, otherwise, when my brother is admitted to the Jinshi, we will discuss moving." ”
