Chapter Twenty-Three: The Shocked Changhe Village (1)
Just when everyone was worried, there was a familiar footstep in front of them.
"Father, mother, we're back" Tang Gaoming walked over with Tang Yanqing with a flat pole and two empty fish baskets.
Jia Nian and Guo Dapang followed behind, looking at the people in front of them, with a knowing smile on the corner of their mouths.
In a trance, everyone thought they had heard the wrong voice, and then showed a look of disbelief, and blurted out subconsciously.
"Back, back?"
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back"
"Father, father, why did you come back so late?"
"Uncle Village Chief, did you go and sell fish at a good price?"
"Hey, who's this fat uncle?"
Tang Da Niu found Guo Da Pang who was following behind, scratching his head and showing a puzzled look.
The voice interrupted everyone's cheers, and at the same time looked at Guo Dapang, revealing a puzzled gaze.
"I, Guo Dapang, am a good friend of your village chief Jia Nian" Guo Dapang didn't wait for Jia Nian to introduce them, and said to everyone.
Tang Jiabao blinked: "Are you a friend of the village chief's uncle?" ”
"Hello, welcome to our Changhe Village," Tang Xingfan said to Guo Dapang.
Tang Xilai's eyes fell on Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing, and when he saw the two empty fish baskets they were carrying, he asked a question he was most concerned about: "Selling fish today, how are you selling?" ”
"Father, guess how much we sold?" Tang Gaoming asked Tang Xilai.
Listening to Tang Gaoming's inquiry, everyone's attention suddenly fell on the empty fish basket, leaving Guo Dapang behind.
Gui Feng showed a suspicious gaze and said to Tang Gaoming, "Could it be that it was sold for twenty taels?" ”
"No" Tang Gaoming shook his head, with a thick smile on the corner of his mouth.
Peng Chunlan said to Tang Gaoming: "Twenty-two taels? ”
"No," Tang Gaoming shook his head again.
Tang Xilai said tremblingly: "Two, twenty-five taels"
"No," Tang Gaoming continued to shake his head.
Everyone gasped and looked at each other, their eyes wandering over the four empty fish baskets.
"No, it won't be thirty taels" Tang Xingfan asked Tang Yanqing, his eyes were full of expectation, maybe he thought that this amount was relatively large, so he had no confidence in his heart.
Tang Yanqing and Tang Gaoming glanced at each other, showed a satisfied smile, and then continued to shake their heads at everyone.
"More than thirty taels?" Han Yiqi and Wang Kefei said in unison.
Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu also looked at it at the same time, their little faces full of excitement. But my mind was full of doubts, didn't I say that the fish merchants in the county town were all black-hearted merchants? Why is it so generous in a blink of an eye.
"Don't guess, the village chief took us to sell fish," Tang Gaoming said here, pausing deliberately.
Everyone's eyes looked at each other, and one by one subconsciously held their breath, listening to the specific amount of fish sold.
Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing spoke at the same time, and said loudly to everyone: "Seventy-one taels"
"Seven, seventy-one taels?" One by one, everyone's eyes widened, and they were speechless in shock. Then he gasped, and suddenly felt that everything was worth the wait tonight.
Tang Yanqing explained to everyone: "Seventy-one taels were sold by the village chief, so our family only needs fifteen taels, and the rest is left to the village chief."
The "fifteen taels" crowd was still immersed in this huge impact, and did not completely recall.
You must know that this money is an astronomical amount for them, and they thought that they could only sell it for twenty taels, and each family could divide it up to ten taels. But he didn't want the village chief to sell it for a high price of seventy-one taels all at once, which nearly tripled.
Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu's heads turned quickly, and they reacted instantly.
"Seventy-one taels"
"Uncle Village Chief, you are awesome, you actually sold for seventy-one taels"
"Seventy-one taels can buy a lot of sugar gourds, a lot of sugar gourds"
"Ouch, grandpa, why did you beat me" Tang Daniu covered his head and looked at Tang Xilai with a face full of grievances.
Tang Xilai forcibly pressed the ecstasy in his heart, and deliberately pulled a face, but the smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed him: "Eat, eat, you just think about the sugar gourd"
"Jiabao, you can't learn from the big cow, you know?" Tang Xilai said to Tang Jiabao.
Tang Jiabao glanced at the aggrieved Tang Daniu, nodded at Tang Xilai, and then moved his gaze to Jia Nian: "Uncle Village Chief, do you mean that it won't be long before we can pay the protection fee for the water thieves, and then we don't have to die."
"Well, you can hand it over tomorrow," Jia Nian replied casually to Tang Jiabao.
Tang Xingfan, who was about to speak out, listened to Jia Nian's understatement, and was stunned again, and the rest of the people were no better.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Jia Nian looked puzzled and thought he had said the wrong thing.
"Village, village chief, do you have a gold in your hand?" Tang Xilai's whole body trembled, and he asked Jia Nian. One gold is a lot of money.
Guo Da pouted and said to them, "Isn't it just a gold?" We just made two gold, and handing over one gold is just a trivial matter."
"Two, two gold," Tang Xingfan said in surprise.
Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing also showed puzzled eyes: "Isn't the village chief's money almost used up?" ”
"Forty-one taels are gone?" Everyone felt that their heads were a little insufficient, and first said that they had sold a huge sum of money, then said that they had two gold, and now they said that they had used it up.
Guo Dapang looked at the shocked crowd, sighed deliberately, and the corners of his mouth were full of sneer: "Isn't it just two gold?" What's all the fuss. Following Village Chief Jia and Ben Da Fat Bastard, all this money is drizzle, it's nothing"
"Village chief, do you really have two gold?" Tang Yanqing asked Jia Nian with a little stammer, and as for what Guo Dapang said later, he was directly ignored gorgeously.
Jia Nian nodded at Tang Yanqing, took out the two gold from his clothes, and put them flat in his hand: "Found in the water thief camp"
"Pirate camp?" The eyes of the crowd were full of doubt, and they desperately wanted to understand what had happened today.
Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing glanced at each other, and they both saw relief in each other's eyes: "It turns out that there are two huge sums of money in the water thief camp."
"Great," Tang Yanqing said sincerely.
Tang Xilai asked Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing: "What's going on?" Why can't we understand? ”
"Da Niu, Jiabao, you take the fish basket to the house," Tang Gaoming said to the two children.
Tang Da Niu and Tang Gaoming nodded quickly: "Okay, let's take the fish basket home."
"Let's go, let's go make a fire, and then talk slowly" Tang Yanqing said to Han Yiqi, the corners of his mouth full of smiles.
Listening to the word fire, everyone felt a little cold, and hurriedly got up to hug the wood.
Jia Nian looked at these busy figures, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Regardless, this is your starting point and home in the dungeon world.
