Chapter Forty-Eight: Old Dog Food

"Brother Cheng, why did you give him so much money? When we went in to sell something, we had already handed it over. ”

After leaving the market, a villager from Qingque Village spoke up.

Han Cheng's handful just now, at least twenty yuan, if it is exchanged for wheat, but there are more than one bucket, how can he not feel distressed?

"Brother Cheng did the right thing."

Without waiting for Han Cheng to explain, Uncle Liu on the side opened his mouth.

"We still have to sell salted fish in the future, we sold it for so much money this time, if we don't give some extra money to the city order, next time we come again, it won't be easy to do it."

Han Cheng nodded on the side, this is the truth, the person who can be Uemuramasa is not ordinary.

When I came, the car was loaded with salted fish, and when I went back, the car was also full.

Nearly 300 catties of salted fish, 50 yuan a catty, after all the sales are sold, what is exchanged for almost 15,000 yuan, of which there are nearly 10,000 in cash, that is, ten yuan, and the rest is grain and cloth.

These things take up a lot of space, and the ox cart is full and not loaded, leaving Han Cheng and others to either pick or carry.

Although it was heavy, everyone was smiling.

Luo Dawa, who was carrying more than 100 catties of wheat, even said that he could carry back more than 100 catties of wheat and run.

"Uncle, eat."

Seven or eight miles out of the county town, everyone rested in an open place.

Han Cheng took down a few lotus leaf bags from the ox cart and opened them, and three of them were wrapped in Hu cakes, a total of thirty.

In the other package, cooked lamb is sliced into slices.

It cost a total of one hundred and eight dollars.

The sale of salted fish this time is basically the business of Han Cheng and Luo Shixin, Uncle Liu and they follow to help, and Han Cheng naturally has to take care of the food.

Originally, Han Cheng was going to sell salted fish and take care of it in the restaurant, but Uncle Liu refused to say anything, saying that it was too expensive, and the countrymen went to the city, where is there such a thing to learn more? Just go home and eat it.

Under Han Cheng's insistence, he finally bought these Hu cakes and cut a pound and a half of cooked mutton.

"It's broken, it's broken, you can't spend money like this in the future."

Uncle Liu and the others held a cake in one hand and a piece of mutton in the other hand and sent it to their mouths, feeling distressed while eating.

It's just one meal, and more than 100 dollars are gone.

If you buy wheat, you can buy six buckets! The family couldn't finish eating for half a month.

Han Cheng didn't have such a big feeling, although it is important to throttle, but what is more important is open source.

If the income can't go up, no matter how much you save, life will still be tight.

Han Cheng is in favor of saving, but he feels that he can't be too economical, after all, people live in the world, and in the past few decades, sometimes they still have to enjoy life......

"Wow! Sugar gourd! ”

"Red Head Rope!"

"Maltose!"

After having dinner on the side of the road, everyone set off to continue to their homes, and they were all full of energy.

When they appeared at the entrance of the village with these, the children who had been waiting for a long time ran up to meet them.

Uncle Liu put down the food they were carrying on their shoulders, and took out some small gifts from their arms or ox carts for the children or grandchildren of the family.

After selling salted fish today, Han Cheng settled the wages they should get for the past few days to Uncle Liu on the spot, with nearly two hundred yuan at the most, and eighty or ninety yuan at the rare.

In the past, they never dared to spend money indiscriminately after coming to the county town.

But this time it was different, they had some spare money in their hands, and last time, Han Cheng spent a penny to buy back a bunch of sugar gourds, which gave them a great touch.

So when I came back from the county town this time, I bought some things for the children at home.

These children didn't expect that these grandfathers and brothers would actually bring them back things, not to mention the joy of each one.

Immediately it turned into a flock of sparrows in a meeting, chattering non-stop.

Looking at the happy appearance of these children in front of them, Uncle Liu and the others all grinned, more than they ate in their mouths.

The cheerful atmosphere began to appear in Qingque Village after Han Cheng and his party came to the entrance of the village, and then quickly spread towards the entire village.

Everyone came to Han Cheng's house one after another, listening to Uncle Liu and them talk about selling salted fish in the county today, looking at the big harvest in front of them that was beyond their imagination, they were both amazed and excited.

Especially after Han Cheng announced on the spot that he would settle the wages of the previous few days today and start disbursing them, the atmosphere in the village became even more enthusiastic.

"Brother Cheng, my family will give Cheng cloth, your third aunt has not bought new clothes for several years, this time thanks to you, there is such a big harvest all of a sudden, why do you want to get her new clothes to wear!"

The third uncle came over and said to Han Cheng with a smile, and at the same time glanced at the third aunt on the side.

This rough farmer is actually full of tenderness at this time.

"What kind of cloth do you want? What new clothes to make? ”

The third aunt, who snorted slightly on the side, reached out and twisted the soft meat on the third uncle's waist with some disgust, and then said to Han Cheng with a smile: "Brother Cheng, don't listen to your third uncle, don't use cloth, change it all into grain, half of it needs wheat, and the other half is changed to corn." ”

Most of the peasant families are afraid of hunger, and when they encounter such a thing, they always want to store more food at home.

"No, I used to listen to you, but this time I have to listen to me once, and I will change it to cloth."

The third uncle, who seemed to be more afraid in the past, did not coax this time, and as soon as the third aunt's words fell, he directly spoke out against it, and his attitude was very tough.

"There is Brother Cheng in our village, and the days will get better and better after following Brother Cheng, and the food will be changed next time, and this time it will be clothed."

The third uncle added again.

"That's... It's up to you this time. ”

The third aunt was told by the third uncle, and finally stopped insisting, the smile in her eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden, and she was full of happy little women.

Such a bowl of old dog food, Han Cheng is particularly sour and refreshing.

"Third uncle, this is your cloth."

Han Cheng reported the account and converted the money into the number of feet of cloth, Uncle Liu took the ruler and measured it himself, and then cut it down.

Han Cheng put the cut cloth on the third uncle's hand with a smile.

"Brother Cheng, my family has also changed to cloth, and the kid in the family is seven or eight years old and still running naked."

"Yes, yes, Brother Cheng, my family will also be clothed ......"

Everyone in Qingque Village, who had done the bowl of old dog food of the third uncle, had to change the cloth one after another, and even Uncle Liu and others, who had asked for five baht before, also thought about returning the money and replacing it with cloth.

When Han Cheng saw this posture, he immediately became anxious, this time he exchanged a lot of cloth for salted fish, but he couldn't help everyone change it like this.

"No, no!"

Han Cheng lay on the rest of the cloth and shook his head at everyone.

"Uncles and aunts, shall we only change half of the cloth? The boy also wanted to leave some cloth for his mother and sister to buy a new set of clothes. ”

"Hahaha......, good! Good! Then they will all change half of the cloth and half of the grain. ”

The people in the village were all amused by Han Cheng's appearance at this time.

Han Xiao was on the side, laughing and secretly wiping his tears.
