Chapter 118: Buy them all
If you lose a feather, you have to pay for it, and there is no fixed number, when will this duck not lose its feathers? If Aunt Li looks at it like this, if you want to pay for it, there is really no bottom.
"This is natural, I can't let the silver money that damaged the duck have to be borne by myself, right?" Aunt Li's expression was taken for granted, and she was about to grab a tael of silver in Chen Ping's hand, Chen Ping stepped back and avoided it, and Aunt Li's voice immediately rose a few points, "Hey, what's the matter with you?" Didn't you say yes yesterday, but you want to regret it? ”
"It's too much, Aunt Li, look, can you pay a few less?" Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed, "I don't have much money in my family, there must be dozens of ducks in your house, these few will cost one tael of silver, if they all add up, it must be ten taels of silver?" ”
"It's not that much, I've calculated it, it's just a little more than ten taels." Aunt Li said, afraid that Chen Ping would pay the bills, "You bought so many goods, and you are not short of money, isn't your uncle rich?" Just borrow some more. ”
This means that there is no room for negotiation at all, and in his words, he admitted that he wanted Chen Pingquan to lose the duck money.
"Then Aunt Li has to let me see the dead duck before she can give you this money, right?" Seeing that Aunt Li didn't let go, Chen Ping finally stopped fighting.
Aunt Li looked at Chen Ping, and saw that he didn't mean to give money if he didn't see the duck, so after thinking about it, she turned her head to Chen Shanbao on the side and said, "You go back to your home and bring the dead duck." ”
"What are you doing? Don't go yet. Remember, it's five, don't get it wrong. Aunt Li saw that Chen Shanbao didn't move, so she urged two more sentences.
Five ducks, one tael of silver, spread evenly, one nearly two hundred yuan, nearly three or four layers more expensive than the market price.
Chen Shanbao looked at Aunt Li, her lips squirmed twice, and this honest appearance made Aunt Li's eyes turn sideways: "What do you have to say?" This kid ate steamed cakes stuffed with pork meat and slept on that warm bed, and you still think he can't give so much money? ”
Not to mention, every move in Chen Ping's family is really under Aunt Li's eyelids, these two pieces of silver are definitely not the bottom, how much is it, Aunt Li is thinking about it or fishing for it to find out the truth.
After walking two steps, Chen Shanbao was accustomed to listening to the old lady, but he felt that the duck was really expensive, his face was tangled, he paused three times at a time, and finally stopped at the foot of the front house, his voice was a little low, as if he was discussing: "Mother, I ...... When I got up in the morning, there was only one duck dead, so how could there be five of them at this time? ”
In fact, even that one was not dead, although it was lying down, but it was still panting, and the feathers on its body were plucked clean, even the short fluff was also poisoned, but even so, it could still rattle twice.
"It's not dead in the morning, but you don't look at it, what time is it, the sun is going to set, and I'm dead." Aunt Li shook her hand twice, looking at this posture, if there was a thorn in her hand, she would probably draw it to Chen Shanbao, "Don't say that you are not dead, you just jumped out, who knows if you will be attacked in the next moment, after all, the duck feather is gone." People have to freeze to death without clothes, and this duck has no feathers on that body, isn't it so reasonable? ”
Not to mention, Aunt Li's reason is not bad.
Helpless, the old lady's temper Chen Shanbao is clear, she can only sigh, she feels that her mother has done too much, but she can't bear the word mother, and honestly go home to get the duck.
On this side, Chen Ping comforted the anxious mother on the side, then took out two pieces of pastry, fed the little lady, and asked Chen An to take her to the yard to play.
"Aunt Li, you see, the yard in my house is quite spacious, and it is okay to install some poultry and livestock." Chen Ping said to Aunt Li, who was stretching her neck to look at the yard of Chen Ping's house, "The open space behind the house has also been expanded, and it is regarded as a house for domestic animals." ”
Chickens, ducks and dolphins, plus a dog, the yard of Chen Ping's house is quite lively, and the black dolphin alone makes Aunt Li greedy.
"Do you sell that black porpoise? If you give me the black dolphin and put that nest of wild ducks on board, I don't want you to pay that money. Aunt Li said.
This black dolphin is a rare thing, and then there is that litter of wild ducks, all of which are game, and they are all able to give birth, Chen Ping laughed in his heart, this Aunt Li has a really big appetite, and she wants to do that profitable business.
"It took a lot of effort to get it, and they all have cubs, and in a few months, they can be exchanged for a lot of silver." Chen Ping shook his head, he didn't think about it at all, besides, Chen Ping had other thoughts about the duck in Aunt Li's house, "It's better to buy those ducks in your house." ”
"Huh?" Aunt Li didn't understand for a while, and asked rhetorically, "Duck?" You mean the dead ones? ”
"It's all." Dead, isn't it all the same, and in the end they are all going to die, so it's better to buy them at once, and you can still raise them, and you can get some duck eggs.
It is much stronger than being killed.
"All? I have fifty-three ducks at home, and you have that much money? Aunt Li looked at Chen Ping, and then glanced at the Liu family who had not left the entrance of the courtyard, which means that the matter of this bank of money is still up to the adult.
One, two, two, two, Chen Ping may be able to have the final say, this kid has been sick for a while, and he has grown capable, and Aunt Li also agrees, but this is going to be bigger, Aunt Li has no confidence in Chen Pingke, in the final analysis, this body, this volume is still a teenager after all.
Ten taels of silver, for a family like Chen Ping, who is not a middle-aged household, it is a few years' income.
"Ping'er." Liu listened on the side, and he was also panicked, if he really agreed, where would he find the money.
"It's okay, mother, trust me." Chen Ping's eyes were firm, and he comforted Liu, "I won't do anything stupid, that duck is not so much in Aunt Li's house, it is better to buy it at once, anyway, it is all to be compensated, right?" ”
Aunt Li laughed vaguely twice and said something incoherent.
"Buy, buy, I'm going to eat duck." Chen An couldn't tell the amount inside, only heard the duck, and immediately shouted, and Chen Ping, who was a wild duck at home, didn't let him move, which was also a bit of a mouthpiece in recent days, thinking about eating.
"I want it too." Chen Zhen, the little lady who was holding Xiaohua in the yard, dragged Xiaohua's tail and walked over leisurely, shouting, ignoring Xiaohua's wailing.
Chen Xiaoyi was still busy in the field and did not come back, Liu Shi knew that this eldest child had always had an idea after he was sick, but this is not a decimal number after all.
looked anxious, seeing Chen Ping's resolute face, he wanted to persuade a few more words, but Liu thought about the recent changes in his family, and finally bit his lip and swallowed back what he was about to say.
"If it doesn't work out, there are still a few acres of land at home, and I can sell it." Thinking so in his heart, there was a way out, and the Liu family did not interfere with Chen Ping.
If you break someone's things, you have to pay for them, which is also the right reason, and Liu did not refuse or play tricks.
One big and one small, Chen Xiaoyi was excluded like this, and he made up his mind, one active, one passive, anyway, it was decided like this. On the other side, Chen Shanbao carried four or five ducks and also returned.
Tied their legs and picked up on a stick, two of them quacked twice, flapping their wings a few times, to be precise, duck wings that exposed their flesh.
