Chapter 33: Do I Look Like a Fool?
"Did you have any pearls?"
"There are a lot, but there are many that are not worth much, I also asked two more mouths, saying that tens of thousands of mussel seedlings were put in the first year, and they will be added every year in the future, and there are not tens of thousands of taels that can not be tossed, and in the end there is not much left, not to say, the income still depends on the quality of the pearl, and if you are unlucky, you will lose money." Xiao shook his head.
"Are pearls worthless?"
"How much do you think you can sell for like this?"
Li Shi took out two pearls the size of rice grains from his purse, the surface was rough and the color was dull, not at all the graceful and luxurious appearance they imagined.
Everyone thought they might be dazzled.
But you can rub your eyes and look at it again, it's still the same, this ...... Forget it, no one wants to pick it up even if it falls to the ground.
The people who were still suspicious of Bao'er completely stopped thinking about raising mussels.
The person who wanted to steal the mussels also dispelled the idea, for the harvest of three melons and two dates, it was not worth the charge of theft.
"Let's farm steadily, money is a game for rich people."
"Although it is hard to dig food in the field, it can finally keep the old snack warm for the family."
"Don't be sour, dig bamboo shoots while it's not dark, and add pickled tuk fresh at night."
"Patronizing nonsense, I haven't thanked you yet, and I think of us for any good things."
Xiao and Li both said that they didn't need to thank them, they were all villagers, and it was normal for them to send something to each other.
That night, Xiao served stir-fried river mussels and river mussel salted pork.
Her craftsmanship is excellent, the mussel stewed salted meat soup is milky white, the fresh fragrance is overflowing, and the fried river mussels are bright in color and fragrant.
But none of the Su family had an appetite, and they smelled the earthy smell all afternoon, which was enough.
"I think it's good to drink for my father and father."
Xiao Si moved the two dishes to Old Man Su as if offering treasures.
Su Saburo rarely united with Xiao Si: "I'll bring you wine, I have a lot of work these days, drink some wine to refresh yourself." ”
There were also three little cubs watching the excitement next to him, which made Old Man Su so angry that his beard trembled, and he hurt them in vain.
He's getting older, and the amount of food is much smaller, and he still uses this thing to spoil his appetite.
A bunch of little ones with no conscience!
"Bao'er told me that I can't drink, eat lightly, you can eat by yourself."
Old Man Su glanced at his baby granddaughter gratefully, but it was still a girl who was painful.
Hearing this, Lin took away the wine glass.
Old Man Su's mouth moved, and finally gave up, it was nothing to drink less wine, it was better than drinking with river mussels.
Xiao Shi moved the two dishes in front of the child again, and said deliberately: "Today, I will make two things first, and then I will make pickled tuck fresh tomorrow, river mussel stewed tofu, river mussel steamed egg, let you compare which one is delicious, I will often make it for you in the future!" ”
"Mother, can you spare us, I won't quarrel with the third brother in the future?" Little Four said goodbye.
Su Saburo nodded in agreement, and he also chose to reconcile with Xiao Si.
This is a very rare thing in the Su family.
San Lang and Shiro are only one year apart, and the two of them have been competing over whom Bao'er prefers since they were children, but they didn't expect that the grievances of more than ten years would be resolved so easily.
The two dishes with both color and aroma were pushed around, and Lu Wu was very puzzled.
He swallowed: "Don't you all eat it?" ”
Before the words fell, the dish had already moved to him.
"Fifth Brother Lu, you eat more, my mother's craftsmanship is very good, no worse than the master of the Drunken Immortal Building."
"You spend your physical strength catching fragrant roe deer, so it's better to make up for it."
"Be sure to finish it!"
Lu Wu said thank you, and then couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.
He ate three bowls of rice in a row, and occasionally drank a mouthful of salty and fragrant soup that combined with just the right amount, and was so beautiful that he was about to ascend to immortal on the spot.
He felt that if the Su family had an ordinary daughter, he would definitely marry without saying a word, and he would have to settle his home next to the Su family, so that he could come to eat.
Pity...... This family is a little bit of a bad yin decline.
After opening the pearl, the Su family still couldn't rest, because they still had to pry out the nacre in the mussel shell.
The nacre composition is similar to that of pearls, and it can be ground into powder for medicine or facial dressing, and the effect is slightly worse than that of pearls, but the price is affordable, and it is very suitable for ordinary people.
This work is much heavier than cutting mussels, and Boss Su invited a few people who know the roots to help.
"Everyone separates more carefully, and the required shell is a penny, and it will be settled in the evening."
Zhang Lan announced the price.
The people who came over looked at each other, they heard right?
Is something as simple as it is worth a penny?
Su Lao Er reminded: "People are rich masters, and they are not short of this salary, but you all have to work hard, otherwise you will not be happy to invite you next time." ”
"Look at what you said, can we get along with money?"
"You can rest assured that we will do things."
"The salary is high and the settlement is settled on the same day, and it is the first time I have encountered such a good thing."
The matter of making money should be done early, and everyone started to do it in full swing without saying a few words.
The click of the pry shell is mixed with the sound of laughter is a little disturbing, Su Baoer plans to go out for a walk, this season has elm money, green and healthy, nutritious, let the aunt make elm money rice or elm money cake is delicious.
Seeing that Su Baoer was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, Lu Wu hurriedly chased after her.
"Miss Su, have you forgotten something?"
Su Bao'er's head was buzzing, and it took a while to remember that it was time to remove the stitches for Lu Yunshen.
"You go and pick some elm money and come back."
Lu Wu had three black lines hanging down on his forehead, his master was a dignified king, and he held 100,000 elite soldiers in the north, which was not as good as the Yu money that could be seen everywhere, and he suddenly understood the depression of his master.
"If you don't know, you can call Little Six or Little Seven."
Su Bao'er kindly reminded.
Lu Wu pointed to his nose and asked, "Do I look like a fool?" ”
Su Bao'er nodded, generally people who can ask this question are not very smart.
Lu Wu said that it was too heartbroken, and in order to prove that he was not stupid, he raised his feet and walked out.
"With a basket." Su Bao'er stuffed the basket to him.
If there was no basket, he could only take off his clothes and carry them.
Lu Wu felt that Su Bao'er's eyes were a little sympathetic, as if what she had just said had been verified.
He's not stupid!
Without waiting for him to explain, Su Bao'er had already turned around and left.
Lu Wu could only hope that his master could take down Su Bao'er, so that he would have a long time to prove that he was not stupid.
Their interaction fell into the eyes of the helper, but it became a different meaning.
"The kid you took in and Bao'er can talk quite well."
"The two children are about the same age, but the young man looks a little ordinary, and Bao'er is a bit of a loss."
"The face can't be eaten, and the most important thing is that a man is reliable and has a good temper."
"Second family, is the good thing near?"
Li sighed: "I want to, but Bao'er is not in love, marriage is related to a lifetime of happiness, and I can't force her." ”
"It's good to be cautious, the twisted melon is not sweet, the two children next door to my house are forced together, and they are noisy every day, making no one happy."
"Why?"
