No wonder, the old man thought to himself, people in the city don't have to do farm work, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. There are so many things about this Zhuangzi.

After sending Liu Zhuangtou away, the old man saw that his nephew Mu Shi'an was still in a daze, so he immediately said: "Shi'an, I've worked hard for you today."

"There's fresh fruit here, take some and eat it."

The fruit sent by Liu Zhuangtou is a rare purple round fruit, and the fruit is connected to the vine and gathers into a hanging, which looks particularly gratifying, and the old man has never seen this fruit before. Thinking that Mu Shi'an's young man loved freshness, the old man immediately took six hangs of fruits and put them in Mu Shi'an's basket.

Mu Shi'an felt the weight on his back and came to his senses, picked up the stubble just now, and said, "Uncle, you really got a Zhuangzi?"

The old man felt that this Zhuangzi still had to pay taxes for the autumn harvest, and he couldn't hide it, so he simply responded: "Yes, I got a Zhuangzi."

"It's on the way to the city, I'll take you to see when you're free."

Mu Shi'an was happy when he heard this, and left with the half-basket of fruit he had been given.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Fang pounced happily, stood in front of the old man and said, "Grandpa, we have chickens in our house."

"And pigs and sheep!"

That's great!

Mu Shi'an carried half a basket of fruits on his back and returned home. His grandmother Zhang saw him and immediately asked him, "Where did you go?"

"Picking fruit for so long" looked at Mu Shi'an's back basket, and said in surprise: "What kind of fruit is this how is it purple, when did our family have this fruit?"

Mu Zhangshi picked a fruit with his hand, put it in his mouth, and immediately fell into sweetness.

"Phew!" Zhang shouted: "What kind of fruit is this, it is sweeter than sugar"

Mu Shi'an said: "I don't know, Uncle gave it."

"Uncle?" Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked with an ugly face: "Okay, you pick fruits, how did you meet your uncle's house?"

Mu Shi'an: "I went out to pick fruits, but as soon as I went out, I met three people asking for directions."

"They asked Uncle and Niece Luozhi, and I led them over."

"As a result, as soon as they saw the uncle, they called the old lady."

"Grandma, do you know? Uncle got a Zhuangzi and became an old lady. ”

Zhang's face became more and more ugly the more he listened.

"Who is the old lady" Mu Guizhou came in from outside, and after listening to half of it, he immediately asked Mu Shi'an: "Who did you say to be the old lady just now?"

As soon as Mu Shi'an saw Mu Guizhou, he immediately held the basket in front of him and said, "Daddy, look, the fruit that Uncle gave me."

"Do you know?"

Mu Guizhou looked at it with empty eyes and said, "This is a grape, right?"

"This grape is a rare thing, only the rich and noble have it."

"What can your uncle have?"

"Really." Mu Shi'an said seriously: "Dad, the uncle has a Zhuangzi."

"This grape was given by the people in the village."

"The people in the village also said that they would send sixty-five chickens, seventy ducks, fifteen pigs, and fifteen sheep to the grandfather during the Chinese New Year!"

"What?" Mu Guizhou was also shocked: "You said that the uncle got a Zhuangzi, where is the Zhuangzi?"

"Zhuangzi said that he was on the way to the city, called––" Mu Shi'an thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered: "It seems to be called Laobeizhuang Village."

"Lao Beizhuang," Mu Guizhou habitually picked up the smoking pot, which was his habit when thinking about things: "Now it's your uncle's?"

"It should be," Mu Shi'an recalled, "As soon as they saw the uncle, they called the old lady, and by the way, they called Luozhi Miss."

That's right. The servants of the village call the owner of the village all masters, old women. It seems that it is certain that the eldest brother has won a Zhuangzi.

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't figure it out, Mu Guizhou stuffed the smoking pot into his waist and dropped a sentence, "Mother, you and Dad, you eat first, I'll go out." ”

He went to the house next door.

With such a big Zhuangzi to pay taxes, other people don't know, Li Zheng is in charge of a village's forced labor, and he knows this matter for sure.

Li Zheng's family was setting up a meal, and seeing that Mu Guizhou was coming, Mu Gui and his eldest daughter-in-law Mu Qian hurriedly stood up and took the children back to the stove room to eat.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll leave with my brother after a few words."

"This is expensive and has Dabeizhuang, did you know it early on."

Li Zheng: "A few days ago, Guihe came over and handed over the tax bill brought by the master of the yamen."

"You didn't even mention a word to me about this big thing," Mu Guizhou glared at Li Zheng.

At that moment, Li Zheng told Mu Guizhou about the matter carefully, and Mu Guizhou returned home gloomily.

In the middle of the afternoon, Master Mu found three bamboo baskets and put six hangs of purple grapes in the basket, planning to send them to his father, Li Zheng and the patriarch's house.

Mu Guizhou went home after planting dendrobium, and when he was close to the door, he saw his eldest brother Mu Guihe walking towards this side with three baskets from a distance.

He saw his eldest brother walking with his head held high, his steps vigorous, and he sighed in his heart: The current eldest brother is no longer the only one in his memory.

Mu Guizhou saw that the clansmen on the road stopped one after another, and greeted the eldest brother Mu Guihe warmly, not to mention that every family in the clan had benefited from him and made a lot of money, and everyone was grateful. Now it's outside the village, and the eldest brother is also a good reputation for a river.

Seeing that Mu Guihe entered Lizheng's house, he came out and entered the patriarch's house a few minutes later, the eldest brother can be a man now, he has this rare grape, he knows how to behave and handle things smoothly, and the eldest brother can no longer be underestimated.

Within a day, everyone in Mujia Village knew that Xiaobeizhuang on the way to the city was the Zhuangzi that the Luozhi family exchanged for the recipe of "Sauce Popping Pig Zhen", which was the pig that had skyrocketed in value recently.

In short, there is envy for a while, there is jealousy, and there is something about my......

That night, Luozhi's family gathered under the oil lamp to study the fortune of Lao Beizhuang.

Luozhi was the first to express his opinion: "Grandpa, our Zhuangzi will give us sixty-five chickens and seventy ducks at the end of each year, which is not suitable and must be changed."

"Our family is different from the Lin family, the Lin family has many places and big places, and it is estimated that there are more than 100 chickens and ducks, and they will be eaten in a few days."

"And our house is such a big house now, how big a chicken coop has to be built."

"And there are so many chickens, you can't raise them when you get together."

"So, the way this chicken is delivered has to be changed."

"Let them send a nest of twenty chickens in the spring, and we can raise them at home, and we can still eat eggs."

"Lixia sends ten chickens, let's leave the nest that lays more eggs in the spring, and the rest are sold or eaten."

"Then, the beginning of autumn and the beginning of winter, they will all send ten each."

"That's forty chickens."

"Finally, at the end of the month, send fifteen more, exactly sixty-five."

"In this way, there are always chickens in our chicken coop, and you can eat them if you want."

"Moreover, chickens don't have to be sold in one place, not to mention the effort, but also to attract attention."

When the old man heard it, he praised: "That's a good idea." That's it. ”

Luo Zhi immediately laughed when she heard this, she likes to eat chicken the most, especially the free-range chicken in this world. Now, she can eat almost five chickens a month.

The old man continued: "Your words remind me that our family's fifteen pigs, the pigs that our family built a house to invite guests to a banquet, and a pig that killed the New Year, that's it."

"For the rest, I'll have to ask the butcher shop if he can accept it."

"A pig, at least two taels of silver. These dozen pigs are worth dozens of taels of silver. ”

Although he knew the shopkeeper Yao, he guessed that the meat used in Xuanyuan Building was provided by the Lin family Zhuangzi, so he didn't want to ask for it.

"And these eggs and duck eggs," the old man also had to consider: "Every year at the beginning of summer and the winter solstice, there are 1,100 eggs and duck eggs each."

"This egg is three dollars a year, a duck egg, cheaper two dollars a piece, 2,200 eggs a year, 2,200 duck eggs, we can't eat them all."

"I still have to sell it. Moreover, it has to be sold separately. ”

"Chickens, eggs start to lay in March, and by the beginning of November of the Winter Festival, it is nine months, so let me send 200 eggs and 200 duck eggs in the next month, and then send 400 more in the two months of the beginning of summer and the winter festival."

Luozhi's mind was on the chicken, and he didn't pay attention to the arrangement of pigs and eggs at all.

"A hundred fish at the end of this year, all of them will be sent at the end of the year, which is also troublesome."

Listening to Grandpa talk about fish, Luozhi's spirit is a boost.

"Grandpa," Luo Zhi said, "Since I made sauerkraut fish, Luo'an likes to eat fish more and more, I heard the shopkeeper of Xinglintang say that children eat more fish smartly, and the old man eats it easily."

"Let's talk to Zhuangzi, let them usually catch fish and send it home, and we will keep an account for them at the market price, and then we won't accept this part of the fish at the end of the year."

"If you collect it, you can't eat it all, and you have to find a way to sell it."

"This one in and one out, a lot of money. Why should we be cheap to outsiders, it is better to leave this benefit to the people in our own village. ”

Master Mu thought about it, although the fish at the end of the year was a little more expensive, it was also troublesome to sell it if he couldn't finish it. His family has a small population, so how to save trouble and how to come.

In this way, Old Man Mu and Luozhi discussed a foodie plan to disperse the meat that was originally delivered at the end of the year to the usual delivery to satisfy Luozhi and Luo'an's appetite.

Luojing and Luo'an have been sitting next to them, they don't know anything else, they only know that there will be no shortage of meat in the future.

Old man Mu can think about it, this Zhuangzi was originally earned by Luozhi himself, and the land, grain, and income in the village are enough for the old man to be happy, so the pigs, sheep, chickens and other meat that come with this Zhuangzi, Luozhi can eat whatever he wants, as long as he can eat it, he has no opinion.

As soon as the straw shed was erected, the house had to be moved so that the craftsmen could start work as soon as they arrived. Luozhi was responsible for cleaning up the guys, and Old Man Mu took Luojing and Luo'an to move, just as the family was so busy that they took off. Luo Zhi felt uncomfortable when he saw Grandpa's back bent to 90 degrees by the dinner table.

Luo Zhi felt that his grandfather was a good person, but it was so good that everyone bullied their own family intentionally or unintentionally - obviously the idea of Dendrobium was from her family, and the sales/sales channel was found by her family, but as a result, everyone left her family and went to make money by themselves, and built their own house, and no one came to help.

One by one, they are all white-eyed wolves who see money!

When I was thinking about it, I saw Mu Yinglong and Mu Yexian coming together.

"Uncle Guihe" The two said in unison: "My father asked me to come over to help."

"Hey," Old Man Mu was extremely happy when he heard this, and said, "Then you can help me move all these things into the newly built grass hut first."

Grandpa Lizheng and Grandpa the patriarch still have some hearts, and Luozhi is finally a little satisfied.
