After dinner in the afternoon, everyone ate watermelon and took advantage of the cold.

The wind blows, and it's even cooler.

"What did you think about what I told you in the morning?" Ryu asked.

Xia He glanced at Ruan Dashan.

Ruan Dashan immediately said, "Mother, you are right, but you also need silver to buy a mountain, what if the income is not good next year, and the second child is about to get married, what should I do if I can't get the bride price money at that time?" ”

I have to say that Ruan Dashan was moved at first, but after being mentioned by his daughter-in-law a few words, he also felt that it was too risky, relying on his carpentry on weekdays, the family could also save a little money, and if he built a room, the family could marry Ruan Tao.

If you don't grow something, the family's money can only be lost, and after half a lifetime of hard work, there will be nothing.

Moreover, there are only four people in the main labor force in the family, how to manage a mountain, and what to do with the fields in the family.

"What did the second daughter-in-law say?" Liu looked at Sun Yue.

"I agree with what my mother said, if the eldest brother's family is unwilling, I can borrow money from my mother, but it will be hard for the eldest brother to watch a little bit at that time." Sun Yue'e said.

In fact, it is not to borrow money, but to use one's own private money.

Liu nodded, "The boss should be worried, after all, our family used to be a farmer, and no one can say what will happen in the future if we suddenly want to buy a mountain, but as long as we have watermelons in our hands, we will be able to earn back the money from buying the mountain one day, of course, the bride price money of the second boy is to be set aside, and tomorrow I will go to the matchmaker to go to Zhang's house." ”

When Xia He heard it, it was still the same reason, the watermelon is the golden melon in the family, as long as it is there, why worry about the family not being able to make money.

It's also my own mistake.

My mother-in-law still has a lot of hard work when she is old, not to mention the small ones in the family.

If you make too much money, your family may be able to become rich, and then you will have a maid to serve you.

If you lose, anyway, your own father-in-law has a craft, and no matter how hard you work, you can still earn the money back.

Xia He nodded to Ruan Dashan.

Ruan Dashan said, "Since my mother said so, then I will listen to my mother, and my mother will definitely not pit us." ”

Liu Shi slapped Ruan Dashan on the head, "When did I trap you." He also said, "Then tomorrow Meizi and Haozi will go to sell ice powder, and the boss and the boss will go to see which hill is better, it is best to have a vacant land in front, and you can build a house there when the time comes, and you will not be afraid that you will be too far away to take care of it in the future.

When we are too busy, we can also ask someone to help, and the farming is staggered, then the family will work a little harder, and the rest of the people tomorrow will go to pick the ice powder fruit, and if you pick more for a few more days, you will not be afraid of other people in the village knowing. ”

The Ruan family went to sleep early at night, and they had the energy to do things tomorrow.

After dinner in the morning, the Liu family went out with Ruan Dong and Ruan Dashan, the Liu family went to find the matchmaker, and Ruan Dong and the two went to see the mountain.

Sun Yue'e rubbed out the ice powder, put it in the well, and then went to boil brown sugar water.

The others went into the mountains to pick ice powder.

Of course, the rest of the village was very curious about the family's departure, and they were busy asking them what they were doing.

The Ruan family prevaricated others on the grounds that the family was useful.

Of course, the people in the village didn't believe it, but they couldn't figure out what it was for, after all, a large piece of fruit was harvested here every year, but the fruit couldn't be eaten, so what did the Ruan family pick it for.

The boy of the Ruan family picked it every morning, and the other people in the village also knew about it, thinking that it was a joke among the children, but he didn't expect the adults of the Ruan family to come and pick it too.

Could it be that the Ruan family's brains are collectively broken?

Of course not.

It must be useful, but I don't know what it is.

I don't know now, but I may know in the future, so some people joined the team to pick ice powder.

Xia He looked at it and was afraid that others would know the secret of the ice powder fruit, so he said, "Everyone can send this fruit to my house after picking it, two pennies a catty, but we only need to ripen." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, more people joined the picking team, and the people in front didn't think about what it was for, and they couldn't think that it would be the most practical to get the money.

There were also a few people who wanted to study it, so they left a little bit for themselves, and sent more to Ruan's house for money.

Xia He and Zhao Mei didn't pick it up, but went home and waited for someone to send it to the door, and from time to time someone came to weigh it, and the person who wanted to test the water picked it more seriously after getting the copper plate.

When it was almost noon, Ruan Hao and Zhao Mei also set off with an ox cart, and Ruan Anan also went with the two of them.

They brought with them half a bucket of cold ice powder, a jar of brown sugar water, a bucket of water, two basins, a small table, and fifty bamboo bowls and spoons.

There is an official road not far from Xiaoshi Village, and people who trade darts pass by on weekdays.

It is said that it is not far, but in fact, there is an hour's road, but it is enough to walk for more than half an hour with an ox cart.

The oxcart first passed through Dashi Village, there was no distinction between large and small stone villages before, but the people in Stone Village gradually increased, so it was divided into two villages, but it was still a reason.

The people of Dashi Village are richer than the people of Xiaoshi Village, so let's say that there are more than a dozen ox carts in Dashi Village, and the clothes they wear are also rarely patched.

After walking through Dashi Village, it is not far from the official road, and around a mountain, it is the location of the official road.

There is a simple restaurant on the side of the road, and there is a steamed bun seller, a flatbread seller, and a peach and pear seller next to it, and it is about to form a small market.

Ruan Hao found a place and moved his things down.

Ice powder, sugar water, and bowls were placed on the table.

The official road is quiet, no one has come yet, and the vendors who do business are also quiet and do not talk to people.

"How much do you think I should sell for a bowl?" Ruan Hao asked Zhao Mei, he asked Liu when he went out, and Liu asked him to make up his own mind.

But he didn't know.

"Or a penny for a bowl?" Zhao Mei said tentatively.

"But with brown sugar water added here, how can it be sold so cheaply?" Ruan Hao shook his head.

"Or two pennies?" Zhao Mei said again.

Ruan Hao also thought about whether two pennies would work.

"This ice powder fruit is now bought with money, how can it be sold so cheaply?" Ruan Anan said, "Our ice powder is delicious, and it also adds sugar water, it is better to sell it for five cents a bowl, if it is too expensive, you can also let people eat it without sugar water, just sell it... A bowl of sanmon. ”

Ruan Anan originally wanted to say that it costs two cents a bowl, but thinking about it, if it is sold so cheaply, wouldn't everyone not add sugar water, it is better to sell it for three cents, as long as you add two more cents, you can dig up a big spoonful of sugar water, which sounds better.

The main thing is to earn an extra penny.

A voice came from afar, and the people on the official road seemed to come to life, opening the lid of the bun and letting the taste of the bun out.
