Chapter 148: Look Away
On the second day, Old Man Tan made a decision, that is, all the Tan family members would no longer go to Luhuapo to dig lotus roots.
Last time, Erxia's family affair was only known to the family, and he didn't feel any shame.
But this time Shiro's incident is well known, he really has no face to let his family go to dig lotus root for the Qiduo family, and he wants to reduce his sense of existence recently, hoping that the people in the village will forget about it as soon as possible.
However, he asked San Lang to follow the ox cart and help transport the lotus root back, without wages, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the Qiduo family in disguise.
The Zhao family objected, saying that wouldn't this be cheaper for the Qiduo family.
"Old woman, the boss is our son after all, if he can really make a fortune, we will have a bright face.
Besides, after Shiro's incident, our family is a joke now, let Saburo go over to help the old family a little, not only the boss is more comfortable, but the Zhuang Shangren will see it and say something nice.
Don't be shallow, think about what is in front of you. Old Man Tan persuaded the Zhao family bitterly.
After Patriarch Tan's education last time, Old Man Tan finally understands some truths now.
Zhao thought for a while, so he had to agree, even if he didn't agree, the only people who could really go to work today were Yang and San Lang, and they couldn't do anything.
Hearing of Old Man Tan's decision, Santao and Wuxing were ecstatic, and finally they didn't have to work in the mud anymore, which was good.
Qiduo was also slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Old Man Tan to take the initiative to ask San Lang to come over to help.
For Old Man Tan's kindness, she did not refuse.
Qiduo put the hot rice and vegetables into a food box, and asked San Lang to take them to Luhuapo to make breakfast for Tan Debao.
Wang Xiaodao and Tamson Sen's father. I'm embarrassed to dig lotus root again today. Plus there is no Tan family. There are fewer people digging lotus roots, and Qiduo thought of Tan Dama.
"Uncle Ma, there are fewer people digging lotus root today, if the eldest brother and the second brother are free, they can also go over." Qiduo said with a smile.
"Okay, Seventh Girl, thank you so much, our family has been taken care of by you." The honest Tan Dama rubbed his hands. Said excitedly.
Qiduo waved his hand, "Da Ma Bo, you are too polite, this is you helping me." Besides, we live next door, so it's right to help each other. ”
Tan Dama nodded, he knew the care of Qiduo.
Wang also came out of the kitchen and said kind words to Qiduo.
After a few cold words, Qiduo went back to his home.
The bean sprouts can be sold again, and the lotus root must also be sold. And tomorrow is the day of the opening of the food city, and Qiduo has to make some preparations. It's been a busy day.
There are not too many bean sprouts, and Yue Kelai and Chunfeng Proud House can digest it, but the lotus root is not the same, the two restaurants can't use too much in a day, and the lotus root is still digging out, and the number is increasing day by day, and it is urgent to seek sales.
At about two o'clock, Tan Dejin came back with an ox cart.
"Dad, I'm back, hurry up and wash your face and eat, where is Uncle Tang?" Qiduo shouted with a smile.
"Uncle Tang went back first." He wiped the sweat on his forehead, and there were still a few drops of mist in his hair.
He had sent Tang Hu to the ferry port in Guangming Village.
Originally, Tang Hu would go back after breakfast, but Tang Hu said that he would go early and return early, and strive to come back in the afternoon.
Qiduo listened to him explain the reason, nodded, and asked about the situation last night.
Tan Dekin said that it was very quiet last night, but it was empty there, and it was really scary to sleep alone.
Erxia brought hot water for him, Liuju brought the meal to the table, and Liulang had already gotten up.
The family sits at the table, ready to eat.
"How's it going, how was everything at home last night?" Tan Dejin took a bite of food and asked.
He just asked casually.
Because he thought that nothing would happen to his family.
Liuju wanted to talk about last night, but Qiduo kicked her underneath and said with a smile, "Everything is fine." ”
I must tell my dad about last night, but he has to talk about it after he has eaten.
Liuju quietly stuck out his tongue and lowered his head to eat.
Tan Dejin did not doubt him and continued to eat.
After everyone finished eating, Er Xia was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Qiduo said to Tan Dejin, "Dad, something big happened to our family last night." ”
"Ah, what's the matter?" Tan Dejin's eyes tightened, and he grabbed Qiduo's arm and asked.
He made the force very strong this time, Qiduo was in pain, and couldn't help grinning, "Dad, it hurts." ”
"Ahh Tan Dejin was shocked and quickly let go.
"You too, you don't have a big deal." Xu Shi was busy with Tan Dejin, and then turned to look at Qiduo and asked with concern, "Duo, come and let my mother see if she is hurt." ”
Qiduo hurriedly waved his hand, "Mother, I'm not so squeamish." ”
Then she told Tedjin what happened last night.
"Alas, if it weren't for Duo's high vigilance last night, we made some preparations in advance, and these lotus roots at home would have been stolen by them a long time ago." Xu sighed lightly and said.
"Fortunately, Rokuro remembered that there was a trap on the fourth uncle's side, otherwise, even if we were alert, they would still be able to steal things quietly after we fell asleep." Qiduo said.
Tan Dejin's hands were clenched tightly, the green tendons on the back of his hands were protruding, and his bones and joints were white, and he could see that he was very angry at the moment.
"Mingxiu, Duo, you shouldn't be merciful and spare them, you should let the patriarch send them to the prison and lock them up." Tan Dekin said hatefully.
Qiduo shook his head, "Dad, I think so, except for the fourth brother, Wang Xiaodao and Tan Sen are all from our village, we and their families are looking down and not looking up, their parents are also honest people, and Xiaodao and his sister have a good relationship with the second sister."
Even if they were really sent to the yamen, I don't know how the county magistrate would judge them, and maybe they would be released after a few boards.
When they get it back, who knows what else they will do.
At the moment, our family just needs someone to see the lotus root, and Sanniang and they begged not to send the official, so I will be a favor, and my family's lotus root can not have any mistakes within three months, otherwise they will be sent to the official immediately. I think that under the constraints of this condition, they should be somewhat restrained. ”
But after three months, if they don't change. It's not going to steal yet. Tan Dejin gritted his teeth.
"During this time, our family has to dig lotus root and sell lotus root. I also have to be busy with spring ploughing. There's really no energy to deal with them.
After three months, many things are over, and if they don't open their eyes and come back to make a bad come, they will not blame us for being polite. When the time comes, we will definitely clean them up fiercely, and we will not be soft.
Of course, if they are just confused for a while, they are self-motivated and willing to change. That's all well said. Qiduo said.
"Alas, the matter has come to this, and it is up to you to make arrangements. I'm glad you're smart, otherwise...... Hey, this Shiro looks like a very honest person on weekdays, when did he learn badly and start stealing chickens and dogs? Tan Dejin hated that iron could not be made of steel.
But he pinched a cold sweat even more, it was so dangerous to think about what happened last night.
Xu pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "You don't know anything." Last year, several people in the village told me in private. I didn't believe it at the time when Shiro stole their winter melons and pumpkins, saying that they must have seen the wrong person.
But they said that they were not mistaken, but there were few things, so they didn't come to look for them.
Now that I think about it, Shiro really did that kind of thing, and I always defend it in front of outsiders, a white-eyed wolf with no conscience. ”
"Ah, and here's it, we've all been deceived by Shiro's appearance." Seven surprises.
Sure enough, I looked away, and there were always three hands around me, but I didn't know what to do.
Tan Dejin didn't say anything more, just loaded the things he was going to take to the town and county onto the ox cart, and called Qiduo and Liuju to get into the car.
Liulang bit his lip and said to Xu, "Mother, I'll also help my father sell lotus roots." ”
"You can't do it, stay at home." Xu shook his head hurriedly.
"Mother, I can do it, I'm bored at home every day, I really want to help." Rokuro pulled Xu's clothes and begged.
Qiduo heard it, walked over, and said to Xu, "Mother, then let Liulang go, boy, you have to go out to exercise, and you will have a long experience, which will also be good for studying in the future." ”
Xu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Nacheng, you and Ju have to take care of Liulang, this body is just better, but there can be no more mistakes." ”
Still worried about Rokuro's body.
"Mother, don't worry, it's okay. Rokuro, let's go. Qiduo smiled and comforted Xu, then put his arm around Liulang's shoulders and got into the ox cart together.
Xu and Erxia watched Tan Dejin and Qiduo leave.
After finishing the work at home, the Wang family took the Qiuhua sisters to Qiduo's house to help wash the remnants of yesterday's lotus.
The carriage stopped at the door of Yuekelai, and seeing that Qiduo and the three of them were sleeping soundly, Tan Dejin really couldn't bear to wake them up.
I didn't sleep well last night, and the bulking of the ox cart, Qiduo, Liuju and Liulang fell asleep leaning on the lotus basket.
Seeing the tired appearance of the three of them, Tan Dejin was very distressed, and he was even more angry with Shiro.
But the hour was not early, and there were still many things to do, so he had to wake up the seven flowers ruthlessly.
Qiduo opened his eyes and looked around a little blankly, and he really didn't understand where this was for a while.
When she came to her senses, she scratched her head a little embarrassed, covered her mouth and yawned, and said to Tan Dejin, "Hehe, I fell asleep, get out of the car." ”
After the words fell, she got out of the carriage neatly, and then went to Yueke to find Uncle Nian.
When Uncle Nian saw Qiduo, he immediately smiled, "The seventh girl is here, what good things did you bring today?" ”
"Uncle Nian, gold and silver buds, river clams, and lotus roots." Seven flowers responded with a smile.
"Okay, let's see." Uncle Nian smiled and nodded.
He followed Qiduo to the ox cart to see the goods.
The main thing is to look at the lotus root, after all, the spring lotus, he is still the first time to see it, this quality can be well checked.
The lotus root is very fresh and in good condition, Uncle Nian was relieved and asked Qiduo, "Seven girls, how to sell this lotus?" ”
Qiduo pointed to the two baskets of lotus root and said, "This kind of thirty wen is a catty." "Pointing to the half-cut lotus root," this kind of eighteen wen is a catty. ”
asked Tan Dejin, when the lotus root is on the market, it will cost 30 yuan a catty.
It stands to reason that at this time, it can be sold more expensive, but in order to sell the lotus root quickly, Qiduo decided to sell it cheaper with the principle of small profits and quick turnover, so that more people can afford to buy and eat lotus root.
Regarding the price of lotus root, Uncle Nian knows better than Qiduo and has no objection to the price.
"Seventh girl, I still want this kind of lotus, I can put it on for a while longer." Uncle Nian pointed to the whole lotus root and said.
"Okay, no problem, how much is Uncle Nian going to want?" Qiduo smiled and nodded.
"The shopkeeper has confessed, first ask for 200 catties, half of which will be given to the restaurant in the county seat." Uncle Nian said.
Qiduo smiled and said yes, and Tan Dejin hurriedly moved the lotus root.
In addition to lotus root, there are 100 catties of river clams and 50 catties of yellow mung bean sprouts.
After weighing, it was to settle the accounts, a total of thirteen taels and five dollars of silver, and Qiduo still gave Uncle Nian fifty dollars to buy wine and eat.
After Uncle Nian resigned, Le Zizi accepted it.
Qiduo remembered the Han family's proposal, so she pulled Uncle Nian and found a secluded place, "Uncle Nian, I want to ask you something." (To be continued......)
