Chapter 114: Buying a screen

In fact, to put it mildly, these hundreds of acres of land deeds and the Tian family's double cropping rice and sweet potatoes are not clear, for Lao Luotou and them, as long as the family is well fed and clothed, these are not passed out, for them have no impact, at most they move their mouths and teach others. Today's Tian family, whether they have these fields are well fed and clothed, they have no ambition to be a rich and noble family, and even in the hearts of the Tian family, it is good to be a farmer for a lifetime.

But for Marchand, they are different, they have to consider the people of a county, and even worry about tens of millions of soldiers; One thought was to help the eldest brother enrich the four counties of the border pass, so that the border soldiers could also be fed and clothed. Using more than 1,000 acres of dry land and sandy land to exchange for the Tian family's technique, to be honest, they felt that the Tian family had suffered a loss.

Of course, it is up to the individual whether to suffer or not, no matter how Ma Shang and Lin Yunlei feel that the Tian family suffers and how they want to compensate the Tian family, but the Tian family does not think so. This is when you feel that you are not suffering, then you are not suffering.

After accepting the deed, Lao Luotou handed the deed to the Li family, and took the two of them to look at the sweet potatoes back and forth in several yards, Xia Zhi felt bored, and he didn't know what was so good about this sweet potato, anyway, it didn't all look like that, and it wasn't that he hadn't seen it. Xia Zhi thought that he would not follow, but Lin Yunlei said before that he wanted to sell sweet potatoes, but he was interrupted by the matter of the title deed, and he did not specify the price.

Now that the sweet potatoes in several yards have been seen, it is just about the summer solstice in their yard, Lao Luo Tou said while leading people out of Tian Laosan's yard to Tian Laosi's yard:

"This sun-dried sweet potato is really different from the undried sweet potato, the sun-dried sweet potato is sweet. I like these little babies very much. Xiao Xia Zhi also likes to make pastries with sweet potatoes. A few greedy babies pestered her every day, and I don't know how she muttered these things! Lao Luotou remembered the pastries made with sweet potatoes on the summer solstice, and smashed it in his mouth, I have to say that it was very delicious.

"Uncle Tian, you are really blessed to have such a capable granddaughter! When my eldest brother and I were young, we thought that it would be nice to have a sister, and let my sister cook whatever we wanted. Now that I've grown up, I don't have this luxury anymore! Lin Yunlei's words were very sad, and with his melancholy expression, Lao Luotou couldn't bear it for a while.

"What's there, what do you want to eat, let your aunt make it for you, if you can't say it with the summer solstice, let her make it for you to eat, the other day I watched her make a kind of food from the book her cousin brought back! It shouldn't be hard to think about! ”

Now that Xia Zhi is seven years old, he will be eight years old after the New Year, and he has already begun to learn to cook. If you want to say how exquisite the cooking skills of the summer solstice in modern times are, it is not necessarily that the most cooked meals can be seen. And it can make people eat it, nod their heads, and say that it's okay, but it's not to the point of praise. Don't forget that this is the Dawu Dynasty, which is not rich in products, and for many people's oil-free and salt-free dishes, there is nothing to say about the craftsmanship of the summer solstice.

Yesterday, the summer solstice took advantage of the evening to rest for a while, mashed the boiled sweet potatoes into a puree, put egg yolks and oil and stirred evenly to make the sweet potatoes into a cake shape, and baked them on the dry pot. But I didn't expect that after it came out, the taste was not bad, and the Tian family was full of praise, especially a few children, who had to make trouble to let Xia Solstice do it again.

"That is really too troublesome for Xia Zhi's niece, and now I want to eat the pastries that Uncle Tian said!" Lin Yunlei automatically ignored what Lao Luo said about the Li family, and directly named Xia Zhi to make sweet potato cakes.

"That's no problem, when you leave, let Xiao Xia Zhi make it for you to eat on the road!" Lao Luotou agreed to Lin Yunlei's request so easily, but Xia Zhi bared his teeth, this person was really naïve to think about the law and make himself feel bad.

"Then Xie Lu Xie Uncle Tian" Lin Yunlei skimmed the summer solstice, seeing her baring her teeth and grinning, he was amused in his heart, but he talked to Lao Luotou about business: "Uncle Tian, I just said, if you want to buy your sweet potatoes, how much do you think the price is right?" ”

When it comes to the price, everyone really doesn't know, after all, this sweet potato has never been sold, and the Tian family turned around in their hearts, feeling that this sweet potato can be sold at the same price as off-season vegetables, fifty wen a catty? It seems to be a bit high, or the price of normal vegetables is five cents a catty.

Xia Zhi didn't know what the people of the Lu Daotian family thought, otherwise they would definitely look at them with strange eyes, saying that this sweet potato is a grain anyway, how can they compare vegetables with it, and it is two extreme pricing. It's not practical to compare it with rice, after all, this sweet potato is not as precious as rice.

"Brother Lin, you also know that this sweet potato has never been sold by others, and our farmer has never seen anything in the world, you give me a number, and we will sell it to you if we think it is appropriate. If you want me to say that Ma County Decree has given our family so much land, if this sweet potato is not afraid that Ma County Decree will have a bad reputation, I will give it to nothing! Tian Laosi knew from when Ma Shang handed over the title deed that he would never ask for the Tian family's sweet potatoes for nothing, otherwise with so much land, the Tian family might really not accept the sweet potato money.

"Big nephew, don't, if you let the boss know, you will definitely punish me, and the price of this sweet potato must be negotiated!" Ma Shang wiped his sweat, this Tian family is too real, and the fruits of this fortunate year actually want to give away. Xia Zhi held her forehead, feeling that the people in her family were all fools. But the summer solstice didn't say anything in the end.

"Uncle Tian, do you think this is okay, we will collect your sweet potatoes for ten cents per catty, first, we take these sweet potatoes to let the people improve their lives, so that more hungry people can eat enough, and benefit the Sheji Tian family, and secondly, Uncle Ma can also pay the difference, otherwise you don't collect this penny, and it will be known by uninformed people, and you want to impeach Uncle Ma, is this okay?" Lin Yunlei squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but glance at him twice, but he didn't expect this person's thoughts to coincide with her. She had thought about this price before, and felt that even if it was planted by the people, the price could not be too high, but after all, this sweet potato appeared for the first time in the Dawu Dynasty, and if she didn't make some money at this time, what would she make when sweet potatoes were everywhere in the future. So Xia Zhi found a compromise solution, you said that this sweet potato dish is not a vegetable, rice is not rice, just take a similar one from the middle, as for why choose ten yuan, Xia Zhi's answer is easy to calculate.

"That's okay, whatever Xiao Lin says is what it is!" After a few words from Lao Luotou and Lin Yunlei, they began to call Xiaolin familiarly.

"Then Uncle Tian, when we finish watching the sweet potatoes in the yard of Brother Manxi, we will let people weigh the sweet potatoes and get on the car." Having said this, Lin Yunlei and they came to their yard on the summer solstice, the courtyard of the summer solstice is very different from several other yards, the wild chrysanthemums along the root of the wall, and the two red pomegranate trees in the center of the yard make people look vibrant, and they can't help but shine.

Speaking of this garnet, the summer solstice and Tian Laosi was angry for a long time, she once ran into the Shili Mountain, and she knew what trees were in the road, this pomegranate tree was one of them, but Tian Laosi insisted on not letting her go in to dig trees and transplant them, saying that the mountain was dangerous. The most angry Xia Zhi ignored him, and agreed to Xia Solstice when he had no choice.

At this time, there are two screens next to the pomegranate tree, one is called home, a big family word is very conspicuous on the pale pink peony flower, the plum blossom branch obliquely out of the upper right corner fills the blank, the summer solstice is in the lower left corner, embroidered with its own name, and at the same time there are several butterflies around the peony and the family fluttering off. This deputy family and everything looks festive and atmospheric.

The other is a rich fish, a few red carp, red carp and black carp under the layers of lotus leaves, swimming around happily, and the lotus flowers on the water surface seem to be swaying with the wind, which is full of dynamics. In the spring to buy a boat to enjoy the river flowers, the guest bonfire to watch the moon. Tired guests sing and dance, and the rhyme is fragrant and misty. 'Four lines of small characters and four big characters of wealth and fish, the whole screen looks rich and lively.

These two are the latest embroidered screens from the summer solstice, ready to be kept for home use, and now they have just been framed and placed under the pomegranate tree to hammer the wind a little.

But this is too surprising for Ma Shang and Lin Yunlei, what kind of screen is this, but it looks like everyone's painting, seeing the name of Xia Solstice on the screen, the two of them widened their eyes and looked at Xia Solstice.

"Xiao Xia Zhi has to embroider the screen, saying that now that he has moved to a new house, he must clean up his house well, and said that he wants to use this screen to decorate the house, these two paintings have been embroidered from last winter to now, and they are only framed today!" Tian Laosi saw the two of them staring at the screen, so he told him the origin of the screen.

To say that these two people were born in the military camp, they don't have any hobbies for some flowers and grasses, but when they saw the screen of the summer solstice, the two of them only felt that the scenery on the screen was too beautiful. The two of them coincidentally wanted to buy the screen, and said in unison:

"Summer solstice girl, do you sell this screen?" After speaking, they also glanced at each other.

Lin Yunlei took a fancy to Xia Zhi's home, he lost his parents when he was a child, and he had different desires for home, Ma Shang was more than rich and rich, he turned to civilian jobs over the years, and he was more interested in these.

"Why do you want to buy it~, it depends on the price you come up with, first of all, my screen is worth a lot, and the price is low, but it won't be sold!" Xia Zhi deliberately lengthened his voice and shook his head and said.

"I want that family, how about a thousand taels?"

"I want that rich and fish, how about a thousand taels?" The two said in unison, but when they heard that what the other party wanted was not what they liked, they let go of their hearts.

"Okay! Pay the money and move the screen! Xia Zhi responded very simply, she didn't expect the two of them to pay a thousand taels of silver to buy a pair of screens, these two are longer than the previous rich flowers, and naturally they are finer, Xia Zhi thought that one hundred taels more would be fine, but she didn't expect so much, since both of them gave such a high price, she didn't need to lower it, anyway, she is a money-seeking person.

In this way, Lin Yunlei and Ma Shang pulled the sweet potatoes and left the Tian family with the screen and the sweet potato cakes made by Xia Zhi, and Xia Zhi had two thousand one hundred taels of silver tickets in his pocket, so much money, Xia Zhi said that he should think carefully about how to spend it.
