Old Man Tan's face was slightly gloomy.

"What's the matter?" He took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

Tan Deyin got up, lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Seeing that there was no one around, he sat down again and said in a low voice, "Dad, have you forgotten?" It's about lending.

Spring is coming, whether it is business or farming, it is a time when money is urgently needed.

At this time, the profit is high, and there is a guarantee, and in a few years, at least 100 acres of fertile land can be earned. ”

At the mention of silver, Old Man Tan's expression was solemn, "Let me think about it again." ”

Then he got up and lifted the curtain and went out.

I don't want to talk to Tan Deyin about this again.

Tan De gritted his silver teeth, old stubborn!

He pulled a stool, sat on the edge of the bed, and said to Zhao with a smile, "Mother, persuade Dad when you are free." The money is put on the body, and it will not be ruined.

If you put it in the bank to lend, then the money is very profitable.

One hundred taels a year, to say the least, you can earn fifty or sixty taels, in fact, there must be more than that.

Mother, you calculate, if this is put for two or three years, it will be a few hundred taels. ”

Zhao couldn't help but be a little tempted when he heard this.

But Old Man Tan disagreed, and she didn't dare to respond easily.

"Is the money bank reliable?" Zhao asked.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about me doing things, if it's unreliable, I can tell my father.

Hong Lei said that the county lord's money is placed there, and there is a surplus every year to feed a large family with profits.

However, don't say anything about this, otherwise, the county magistrate will be unhappy when he knows about it, and Honglei's errand will be gone. Tan Deyin deliberately suppressed his voice and said.

Of course, the Zhao family knew the identity of the county master, and immediately nodded, "Don't worry, where do I dare to say anything about the county master."

You also say hello to the red thunder, don't talk to others about the county lord behind your back, it's not easy to get an errand. ”

For Wang Honglei, the eldest grandson-in-law, the Zhao family is still satisfied.

"Mother, don't worry, Red Thunder is a shrewd person, this is just to say to me, where will outsiders say it.

Alas, in fact, this is also for the fifth child and osmanthus.

If the fifth child is promoted as an official in the future, there is no money to go around, where will it be.

Osmanthus is not too young, so it's always good to prepare more dowry for her.

And mother, your health is not very good, you should buy more ginseng to come back and make up for it, but this has to be silver.

Mother, anyway, it's a reason, you and your father discuss it, if it weren't for the face of the red thunder there, people wouldn't have paid attention to us. Tan Deyin said.

There are many benefits, which makes Zhao's heart pound.

Yes, the silver will not be put down at home, but it will be put in the money bank to lend, but it will be faster than the money will come from the next child.

"Well, I know what to say, I'll talk to your father at night." Zhao smiled and nodded.

Tan Deyin smiled with satisfaction.

The mother and son talked and laughed for a while, and Tan Deyin went out to eat.

Zhao looked at the bracelet on his wrist and smiled again.

After thinking about it, I took it off, got out of bed, and put it away in a small secret cabinet.

She wanted to keep it for Tan Guihua as a dowry.

After breakfast, Tan Debao carried the burden of the merchant and prepared to go out.

Old Man Tan did not approve of him being a merchant, and Zhao wanted him to follow her brother to learn carpenter.

But he insisted on it.

Old Man Tan had to give up, but how many times did Zhao scold him in private.

Fortunately, this merchant's business is not bad, and he can earn a hundred dollars every day, which blocks Zhao's mouth.

"Fourth uncle, this is your dry food and water." Qiduo stepped forward with a smile and gave Tan Debao some snacks and a pot of water.

Two pieces of dim sum were given by Shen Nan, and the others were fried rice candy made by the family last winter.

And although the water is cold, it is the spring water of the seven spaces.

Even if you drink it cold, it won't make you feel sick.

"Oh, good Qiduo, my body is just right, I can rest more at home." The corners of Tan Debao's mouth grinned, pulled out a smile that was even uglier than crying, and said in a deep voice.

Qiduo smiled and nodded, watching him leave.

In fact, she has some sympathy for this fourth uncle.

Almost all men of his age have wives and children, and he is still alone.

Qiduo went to Tan Dejin to see if he could remove the snail's tail.

Not sure if there are tools like vices in this era.

If you can remove the tail, make it spicy, if not, then pick out the snail meat and fry it in various tricks.

The snail has been raised by Qiduo with spiritual spring water, and a few drops of rapeseed oil are dripped on Zhao's back in the water, so that the snail spits out the dirt in its body.

Tan Dejin and Xu were looking at the pot of snails and twisting their eyebrows.

Can people eat this thing?

Seeing Qiduo coming in, Xu asked softly, "Duo, who did you hear that snails can be eaten?" ”

If you can't eat it, Zhao will definitely scold Qiduo.

She couldn't look at Qiduo being wronged, so she naturally had to ask clearly.

Qiduo pursed her soft lips, blinked her dark eyes, looked at Tan Dejin and Xu a little timidly, and said softly, "Daddy, if I say it, don't scold me." ”?

"Silly girl, say it, my mother won't scold you." Xu gently stroked Qiduo's black hair.

Tan Dejin also nodded, "Yes, Dad won't scold you." ”

Qiduo shook his cheeks, "Since I can't speak, I often sit there in a daze, as long as I am in a daze, there are many ways to cook in my head, and many of them are things that we have never eaten."

I didn't know how to speak before, and I didn't dare to try the truth with my hands, for fear that you would worry about me.

Dad, mother, do you think I'm sick? ”

A very aggrieved and frightened expression appeared on her face, and her black eyes were foggy.

I wanted to say that it was taught by Sister-in-law Li, the servant of Zheng Wanru's family.

If you think about it, it's easy to goof.

Let's stay away.

Tan Deyin used to say all kinds of strange things in front of his family.

It is said vividly, and no one doubts it.

There is a second uncle in the family, and it really facilitates lying.

Sure enough, although Qiduo's words were a little incredible, the Xu couple did not suspect that she was lying.

Xu suddenly thought that he must be blessed by the gods, and specially taught Qiduo these skills.

"Duo, it's not a disease, don't worry. You are a blessed child, and you will be in good health. Xu comforted Qiduo in turn.

Qiduo's face softened, and she said softly, "Mother, if you say this, I will be relieved."

Actually, I'm not delicious, I have to eat this snail.

Grandma didn't always think that we couldn't make money like my second uncle, so I thought about trying those previous cooking methods, and if I could succeed, I might be able to earn some money for the family.

If we can make money, my grandmother will be happy, and they will no longer hate us, and they will no longer think about sending me away. ”

Qiduo's words poked at the weakness of his parents.

Both of them hung their heads and sighed.

Alas, my mother doesn't like us, it's all about money!

This kind of words, Tan Dejin and his wife just thought about it in their hearts, and never said a word to their children.

"Duo, you just said that you make money, how do you earn it?" Tan Dejin was the first to look up and asked.

As the eldest son in the family, he naturally wanted to contribute to the Tan family.

Qiduo Zhilu said that he was already moved, so he said, "Dad, mother, I think so, make a little snail first, let the family taste it, and see if it tastes good."

If everyone thinks it's delicious, we can make it and sell it in the town and county. ”

"Well, that's a good idea.

It's just that everyone hasn't eaten this snail before, will anyone buy it? Tan Dekin said worriedly.

Xu's eyes lit up and said, "Those rich families like to eat some strange and new things.

I thought, if this snail tastes really good, someone will buy it. ”

She spoke confidently, as if she had lived in a wealthy family before.

Qiduo was a little surprised that Xu agreed with his concept so quickly.

But Tan Dejin was not surprised, Xu's words made him dispel his worries.

"Mingxiu, Duo, let's quietly do a little less first.

If it's delicious, go and tell your grandma again, if it's not delicious, forget it. Tedekin suggested.

This suggestion was shared by Qiduo and Xu.

Qiduo exhaled lightly, is this a good beginning?

As for the problem of removing the tail of the snail, it was also easily solved, and the Tan family had tools similar to vices.

It's just that snails need to be raised for two or three days to spit mud, and they can't be eaten for the time being.

Qiduo went to boil medicine for the Zhao family again.

It's just that when he went to deliver the medicine this time, Zhao was in pain again, and he didn't want to drink the medicine anymore.

"Get out, dead girl, you get out of here. I blame you broom star, or I will suffer these sins somewhere. Zhao's face turned pale, and he stretched out his thin finger and pointed at Qiduo and scolded.

Qiduo frowned, and really wanted to slam the medicine bowl to the ground, and then flick his sleeves and leave.

It's a pity that people are under the eaves and can't help but bow their heads.

Who makes their identity so.

"Mother, you drink the medicine first and then scold me, otherwise where will you have the strength." Qiduo persuaded softly.

Old Man Tan also persuaded, "Drink the medicine quickly, I think this medicine is of some use, didn't you sleep very well last night." ”

Zhao was silent.

Old Man Tan sighed lightly, personally took the bowl in Qiduo's hand, helped Zhao sit up, and fed the medicine.

Qiduo took out a piece of osmanthus cake as usual and handed it to Zhao, "Grandma, sweet mouth." ”

Zhao's eyelids drooped, and he took the osmanthus cake a little reluctantly, and waved his hand, "You go out, it's annoying to look at you." ”

Qiduo didn't care, smiled slightly at Old Man Tan, and took the bowl out.

"Qiduo, this child, since she can speak, I look quite sensible, don't scold her in the future." Old Man Tan said.

The corners of Zhao's mouth tugged to the side, "Hmph, if it weren't for her, where would this strange disease occur." ”

"Let's take the medicine first." Old man Tan's law is acceptable.

Zhao's pain passed, and he felt his strength regain and struggled to get out of bed.

"Where is this going?" Old Man Tan asked puzzled.

"I cut a piece of bacon for the Xu family today, I have to go and see if she is stealing food with those money-losing goods." Zhao lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Old Man Tan furrowed his eyebrows, "Go back to bed and rest, don't think about those who have or don't, the eldest daughter-in-law is not like that."

If those children had heavy mouths, they would have kept this pastry for you, really. ”

The tone was a little displeased.

This is a true sentence, but it is very harsh in Zhao's ears.

"Dead old man, what nonsense are you talking about, they don't have heavy mouths, is it that the old woman has a heavy mouth and I am greedy.

You said that I have been married to you for decades, and when I ate alone alone, you will make it clear to me, ah!

I'm not dead yet, you old thing is helping juniors to scold me. Zhao scolded with a straight face.

Old Man Tan was so angry that his beard trembled, "Unreasonable! ”

After dropping these words, he flicked his sleeves and left, ignoring her.

Zhao held back the fire in his stomach and ran to the kitchen.

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I smelled the aroma of bacon, which was mouth-watering.

Qiduo They were all stunned when they saw the Zhao family who suddenly appeared.

In an instant, they all understood the purpose of Zhao's coming to the kitchen.

A trace of gloom slipped through Xu's eyes.

Zhao drooped his eyelids and glanced at the table where the vegetables were placed.
