Chapter 53: Unexpected Joy
In the end, Zhu Ping'an didn't tell the fourth aunt, because Zhu Ping'an's ancestral hall had not yet come out, and the grandmother here came, and she forgot to put the cakes in the food box just now, and the grandmother was worried that the uncle would not be full, so she specially took two cakes over.
Soon, the grandmother's roar could be heard in the ancestral hall. But the grandmother was eccentric after all, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the uncle was not punished. In this regard, Zhu Ping'an is almost used to it.
There was no wind or rain all night, and after breakfast the next day, my grandmother urged Zhu's father to go to the town to sell wild boars, and the family's finances were too tight. The foodie wild boar was tied up in the yard and slept all night, and was eaten by his grandmother for a big pot early in the morning.
Because the wild boar was too big and heavy, my grandmother sent the fourth uncle to follow me to the town. This day also happens to be the day when the big market in the town opens, and the Chen family has a total of several concubines, so why don't they go together. So an ox cart carried a wild boar, a large basket of wild flowers that had been ridiculed countless times by the family again, and Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Pingjun and Zhu Pingchuan set off. The car was followed by the fourth uncle, as well as several concubines of the Chen family, and Zhu's father, who was driving the car, and set off to the town together. It's really a family mobilization.
There are so many people that I haven't heard of the chatter along the way.
"Yu'er, why do you want to sell flowers again?" The little fourth aunt walked beside her, and when she saw Zhu Ping'an sitting in the ox cart and the big basket of dried wildflowers, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Chen rolled his eyes.
"yes, last time they gave me a board." Zhu Ping'an took care of the matter and said seriously.
As a result, the little fourth aunt, the little fourth uncle and the eldest aunt laughed even more happily. A copper plate, you really think it's the money you sold, that's when people think you're too stupid and kind enough to give it to you.
The little fourth aunt made a start here, and the family began to tease Zhu Ping'an, after all, it was boring all the way, and it was good to have someone to amuse.
The first to bear the brunt is the little fourth uncle, the little fourth uncle is hanging, and the way of teasing people is also different.
"Hello, do you know why grandmother asked us to sell pigs?" The little fourth uncle asked malicefully.
"Change money." Zhu Ping'an replied lightly.
When the fourth uncle heard this, the evil taste on his face became even stronger, and he deliberately scared Zhu Ping'an, "That's right, it's just to exchange money." But our family still lacks a lot of money. Therefore, it is not enough to sell pigs for money, we still have to sell people. ”
As soon as the fourth uncle's voice fell, Zhu Ping'an obviously felt that Zhu Pingjun, who was sitting next to him, trembled, and was frightened by the words of the fourth uncle.
That's what adults are all about! Zhu Ping'an was very disdainful.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an also cooperated to make a scared look, and the little chubby face shook and asked, "Who is it for sale?" ”
Zhu Pingjun also turned his head to look at the fourth uncle, expressing his concern.
The fourth uncle was very happy when he saw Zhu Ping'an's scared appearance, and deliberately said to Zhu Ping'an without hesitation, "Of course it's selling you." ”
The little fourth uncle thought that his words would scare Zhu Ping'an, a little broken child, into crying, but he didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to grin, "Hehehe, I know that the little fourth uncle is not worth much." ”
The little fourth uncle who was waiting to see the joke was dumbfounded, it was not a question of who was worth the money.
Chen was the first to laugh, then the third aunt, the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt, and the fourth uncle was laughed at and kicked by the fourth aunt.
When they arrived in the town, everyone divided into several routes, and the eldest aunt and several concubines of the Chen family went to the women's shop they frequented to sell their sewn purses, and by the way, they bought some women's goods such as colored threads. The fourth uncle and Zhu's father went to sell wild boars. Zhu Pingchuan led Zhu Ping'an to sell wildflowers, of course, everyone except Zhu's father and the Chen family laughed at it.
It was still the last time in the medicine hall Jimin Hall, and as soon as he entered the door this time, one of the two elementary school apprentices came over with a smile on his face.
"You're here, the honeysuckle in the shop is running out of stock again." This junior apprentice is the one who almost turned Zhu Ping'an and his brothers away last time, and this time he is very enthusiastic.
Zhu Pingchuan was carrying a big basket on his back, and he didn't know what to say.
Zhu Ping'an's cute little chubby face was full of smiles, "Hehe, the little brother has to give us a higher price." ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor who was twisting his beard and reading a book of medicine scriptures couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "As long as the honeysuckle is of good quality, why not give you a few more articles." ”
When Zhu Ping'an heard this, his chubby face smiled even brighter, "Thank you, the old doctor." ”
The honeysuckle picked this time is still calculated according to the top grade, and it is the same as last time it is 50 Wen a catty, the difference is that this time it is a big back basket of honeysuckle, not Zhu Ping'an's small back basket last time, this time the honeysuckle has a total of 5 catties 6 taels 3 money, according to the price is 267 Wen, because there is an old Chinese medicine doctor to speak, so the junior apprentices made their own decisions and gave Zhu Ping'an 270 Wen.
When they were about to go out, the old Chinese medicine doctor kindly reminded them that the flowering period of honeysuckle was coming, and asked Zhu Ping'an and them to go back and pick it tightly.
Out of the medicine hall, Zhu Ping'an and his eldest brother put the copper coins in the back basket, and then covered them with rags.
Zhu Ping'an and his eldest brother gained a lot, and the Chen family over there also had an unexpected surprise.
The Chen family went to the women's shop they used to go to and sold the purse they had worked hard for for most of the month. The purse is not simply sewn the cloth together, but it requires a lot of processes, needs gaps, and embroiders temple samples, etc., and it takes about two days for a purse to come down. They had to make the purses made by the Chen family, because the pattern was not new, and the fabric used was also a relatively cheap cotton cloth, so the purse made by hard work was not very valuable. A purse is about 10 Wen.
"You guys are really concubines, you don't have to pick any handiwork, the price is still the same, 10 wen each, you can see that you can still make it." The shopkeeper is exquisite, and she is as enthusiastic as ever, which makes people feel valued.
The price is the same as before, and of course the Chen family has no opinion. The eldest aunt and the third aunt made 8 and got 80 wen. Chen only made 7 and got 70 wen. The fourth aunt made 9 of them, got 90 wen, had the most money, and the whole person was beautiful.
"These 3 purses, please also ask the shopkeeper's palm to see if they can be collected."
When the eldest aunt and the others were about to leave, Chen thought about it and stopped, took out 3 purses from his baggage, which were different from those made by everyone, and called the female shopkeeper.
These 3 purses are made of the rag heads that Zhu Ping'an pulled back last time, and many of those rag heads are very good materials, such as silk and satin yarn, Chen's 3 purses are made of good materials, and if the fabric is not enough, a few pieces of broken steps are spliced together.
The female shopkeeper took it and touched it, with a smile on her face, "It's still novel, and the material is good, so let's do it, I'll charge 15 each, no, 20 each Wen, you see it's feasible." ”
Chen's heart was beating fast, 20 wen, 20 wen each, happiness came too suddenly.
