Chapter Seventy-Eight, Cleverness

Ye Changsheng and the three of them knew that Gu Liu had sent someone to pass the word, so they didn't pick it up, just stood aside and watched the two talk.

After the guy retreated, the golden shopkeeper arched his hand towards Ye Changsheng and Li Yihe, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect the two of you to recognize our sixth master, why didn't you say it earlier, if you knew that this flower would be charged at one hundred and fifty yuan." ”

The words were a little more intimate than before, "Our sixth master said, in the future, if you have any goods as much as possible, we will accept them at a high price, and we will never let my brother lose." Although the two brothers can rest assured, with the words of our sixth master, this flower business is easy to say, as long as we sell it well, we will still hand it over to you in the future. ”

After a while, the title changed to brother, and the name was not affectionate.

Ye Changsheng heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and said with a generous smile: "Brother Jin is polite, as long as you can collect more of this flower in the future, this extra thirty-five wen will be given to you to drink tea." ”

Li Xiaoran listened in a daze, talking about this issue so clearly, and not shying away from people, is it really good?

This problem of eating kickbacks is really the same in ancient and modern times.

However, don't worry about this being a one-shot deal, which is a good thing.

The brothers were all weighed, and the proprietor had something to say, and the golden shopkeeper was happy to be a good man, and gave them the few bags of cloth that had been accumulated in the store recently, and paid a deposit of five hundred taels. Ye Changsheng asked him to help exchange one hundred taels of silver, and the rest was still the silver ticket received.

Li Xiaoran looked at the three bags of cloth, and there were still mostly silk and satin in them, but there were almost no big ones, all of them were palm-sized or even smaller. And this time with the gold shopkeeper ordered a large amount, the time to ask for the goods is tight, although it is set to pay 3,000 within half a month, and the rest will be delivered within two months. But cloth alone is certainly not enough.

In the end, she decided to buy a few pieces of cloth she needed, and the golden shopkeeper gave them a bargain, only 11 taels for a 12-tael makeup satin, and 19 taels for a 20-tael silk yarn.

Seeing that this girl actually picked the good one to buy, it cost more than a hundred taels of silver just to buy the fabric, and the gold shopkeeper felt it. These head flowers. It's really worth the price.

Li Xiaoran had silver in his hand, so he simply picked out a few more cyan and blue muslins, these two colors. Everyone in the family can use it to make clothes. I picked out a few more white cotton cloths, and I was ready to go back to make middle clothes, and I could also make diapers and clothes for the baby. There is also a black muslin cloth that is used for trousers.

Li Yihe saw that the fabric she chose was not given to herself. Pointing to the pink flower sermon, he said, "Ran'er, you must look good in this clothes." And this yellow one, pull a few more feet and let your mother make you a few more new gowns! ”

Li Xiaoran looked at the corners of his eyes, then looked at the saffron coat on his body, and said with a smile: "Dad." I just have this, and if I want to make a new one, just embroider the cyan one. ”

She's already scored. When I go home this time, my eldest brother can also be sent to the school. Let the mother make a few more new robes for the eldest brother and the second brother.

The family has money, so there is no need to wear that coarse cloth clothes, although the second brother didn't say anything, but Ye Zimo asked his mother Hua to give Li Xuejian a muslin robe last time. Li Xiaoran guessed that the second brother must have been ridiculed a lot in the school.

Ye Changsheng patted Li Yihe on the shoulder and said, "How much satin did Ran'er buy just now, let my younger brother and sister tear it up and make a new dress for her when the time comes." ”

Li Yihe never thought that his children could wear silk clothes like a rich family, and his face was hot when he heard this, and he was a little ashamed, and he had money in his hand, and he even thought that his daughter would wear the kind of gown that only girls from poor families in the countryside wear, that kind of clothes, whether it was his sister or the two girls of the eldest brother's family, they would not wear it.

"Brother Changsheng, I didn't expect it, you're right, Ran'er can also wear satin clothes."

Li Xiaoran shook her head in her heart, even if she can afford to wear it, she won't wear it, wearing that kind of clothes in the countryside is too eye-catching, their family is not a strong Ye Changsheng family, and there is a grandfather at home who wants to squeeze this son!

The golden shopkeeper asked the men to bring the cloth and fabrics they asked for to the inn, and the three of them went to the land in the east of the city.

The east of the city is a large acre of fertile land, the trees on both sides of the official road are sprouting, the fields are farmers who are farming, the terrain in the county is flat, surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by water on one side, unlike Sandaoling located on the mountain, the weather is cold and windy, and it is a solar term later than here.

Li Yihe drove the mule cart, and when he arrived near this place, a person who looked like a steward had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time, and when he saw the mule cart stop, he greeted him and asked, "But Master Li and Master Ye?" ”

Li Yihe: "I'm Li Yihe, but I'm not a master." ”

The steward smiled: "That's right, it was Master Xiang who asked me to come over, and I came to introduce Master Li to the situation of this land." ”

Li Yihe nodded and said, "Is it Brother Jixiang?" Thank you for your trouble, let's go check it out! ”

The group walked to the field, and the black soil was fertile, and it looked like a good farmland.

The steward introduced himself: "My surname is Tian, I was originally the steward here, this hundred acres of land are all connected together, and this large area, counting from that side, is all Master Li's." This opposite side is also Gu Liuye's, and it is also a hundred acres of land, in the future, if Master Li needs me, just ask. ”

Li Yihe thanked him and asked him about the yield of this land and what he had planted before.

"Last year, 50 acres of wheat were planted in this field, and the yield was good, but this year we originally wanted to plant 60 acres of wheat, 20 acres of soybeans, and 20 acres of corn. However, Xiang Ye said, how to plant still has to listen to Master Li, we have just planted this land for three days, and the rest is assigned by Master Li. ”

He pointed to the river in the distance: "This river flows down from the Yanhui Mountain, and it will not dry up even in dry days, and the land near here is irrigated with the water of this river, and the grain grown is better than that of other places." ”

Li Yihe had already discussed with Ye Changsheng before, they couldn't plant this land, and the best way was to give it away.

Li Yihe and the field steward talked about the things in the field, Li Xiaoran was bored, and walked along the land, the fields here are close to the river, the terrain is relatively low, if the drought is changed to paddy fields, and rice is planted on these lands, then not only can they eat white rice, but also the sales of rice must not worry.

In her previous life, she had a colleague whose home was from the Northeast, and she grew rice at home, and often brought them new rice to eat, and the rice in the Northeast was much more delicious than the rice in the South. Moreover, the climate and soil of the Northeast are very similar to here.

However, this year it is impossible, she can discuss with her father to change some paddy fields next year and try to plant rice.

She walked to the river in front of her, where several children of eight or nine years old were digging wild vegetables in patched clothes on the edge of the field, saying that they were digging wild vegetables, but in fact there were not many trees in the small basket, and they were all digging and playing in the mud, and they seemed to be the children of those tenant farmers.

When these children saw her in clean floral clothes, they were envious and curious, and slowly rubbed in front of her. A doll who looked seven or eight years old and dragged a slug with wide eyes asked her, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

When he asked, the five or six children gathered around, and you said word by word: "You are not from our village, we all know each other in our village." ”

Another said: "I heard my father say that this land has been sold, and the owner has changed, and you are serving the new owner!" ”

Li Xiaoran was wearing floral clothes, and no one could associate her with the word Miss Dongjia.

Li Xiaoran talked to them with a smile, and after a while, he became familiar with them.

Ergouzi, that is, the boy who sold the land before, is the eldest one in this group of children, ten years old this year, long black and black, very strong, stepped forward and touched her little face, hehe smiled, "You are really good-looking, better looking than my sister." ”

Li Xiaoran was embarrassed and was molested by a little kid.

A little girl with the same long dark skin, looking about the same size as her, pouted and said, "I'm also good-looking, you say I'm ugly, I'll sue SΓΉ Niang." ”

Ergouzi rolled a glance at her, raised his chin and said, "I will sue, you look at people," he motioned to Li Xiaoran, "How easy-going, how can you be like you, like a fried hen." ”

Li Xiaoran was amused when she heard it, the little girl got angry, stood up and slapped him twice, and then ran away angrily.

The boy who called the dog wiped the sweat on his forehead, wiped the muddy water on his face, and suddenly became a big face, and laughed at the commas of several children, but he didn't feel that he ran away with the girl.

Li Xiaoran also heard his voice coaxing the girl from a distance: "Don't listen to the second dog, you look the best, I like you like this." ”

The little girl's happy voice came, "Really, you don't lie to me? ”

"Whoever lied to you is a puppy."

"You're a dog, don't you count." The girl grinned, her big eyes bent into crescents, and she looked very pleasing.

Li Xiaoran listened to this childish talk, and talked to the second dog with a smile on his face. Among these children, he is the oldest and speaks in a clear manner, and Li Xiaoran has set up a lot of useful situations with him.

For example, at the beginning, their owner was not surnamed Gu, but surnamed Qian, and they had to pay sixty percent of the rent a year at that time, and at the end of the year, they could have a leftover chew, barely able to fill their stomachs.

Later, the owner surnamed Gu changed, and over the years, they paid fifty percent of the rent every year, and the owner also reduced the rent in the event of a natural disaster.

Since this morning, when they learned that they were going to change owners, these tenants were worried that the new owners would get along well, and that they would receive a few percent of the rent, and so on.

Li Xiaoran listened with a smile, but he had a strong curiosity about this second dog.

This child seems to be being tricked by her, but if you listen carefully, you can hear that what he revealed is nothing more than to let the new owner understand the previous situation, the Gu family is a big family in the county, and their family has 50% of the income, so it is not easy for the later owner to cross him.
