Chapter 344: Returning with a full load
The speed of Wu Hongsheng's work here is very fast. On the other hand, several boys of the Wu family sell goods, and the speed is also very fast.
They don't talk much to others, though. But they just pick up a conversation.
Under the shouts of uncles, aunts and aunts, the neighbors who were still a lot of defensive about them really mistakenly thought that these boys were coming to visit relatives.
When they saw the things they were carrying, some of them inquired curiously.
And a few young boys of the Wu family have long known that many people in this world like to be greedy for small things, especially free things. So they generously told them to taste it for free.
Those men, women, and children, after tasting so many chopsticks, felt that those pickles, as well as chili peppers mixed with diced radishes or something, tasted very good, and they were all eaten with special rice.
So, I found out that these things were made by themselves, and if they really bought them, the price was not expensive at all. You can buy half a catty for two pennies, and you almost have a big bowl. The men went back to the house and took the money.
This neighborhood is called the neighborhood. In less than half an hour, the more than 100 catties of pickled radishes they brought over, as well as dozens of catties of chili peppers mixed with diced radish, were all sold.
And that salted duck egg, salted egg or something, sold quite quickly.
They say they're walking the streets, but they haven't walked six streets yet.
After selling their things and getting the money, the five boys packed up their money and came to the east gate that they had agreed before.
After gathering here, Wu Hongsheng took them to a grain store by the way.
Soybeans were three pounds a pound, and Wu Hongsheng bought 50 pounds.
Knowing that everyone in the family was greedy, he also bought more than 10 catties of tube bones. There is some spinal cord in the bones of this tube, but the people in the county town are reluctant to use ten catties of firewood for a penny to boil and stew hard.
Therefore, the bones in the county are sold cheaper. More than 10 catties of big bones are only 35 yuan.
As for the sesame seeds that Wu Guifang missed, as well as the flour that had been eaten a long time ago, as well as daylily, dried plum vegetables and other things, Wu Hongsheng also bought a lot.
In short, Wu Hongsheng bought all the miscellaneous things.
In other words, all the money they spent to sell things this time was spent by him.
Except for the only two copper plates left in his pocket, he was completely out of money.
Because Wu Hongsheng was very generous. When I buy something, I don't blink my eyes a few times. So, the ruffians and hooligans who followed closely behind the five boys who sold things before the Wu family really mistakenly thought that the Wu family was a big fish.
However, after inquiring, this person from the Wu family has an extraordinary background and has a lot of friendship with Yuan Erye in the yamen, and the ruffians and hooligans who often knock on the bamboo poles of small merchants and hawkers quietly retracted their heads.
Wu Hongsheng bought so many things that the sons and grandchildren he brought out had to carry dozens of catties of things on their shoulders.
As for Wu Hongsheng himself, he tied the precious things on hand directly to the back of the mule.
When I saw the Wu family coming to the county seat, it was a big bag. I also spent a lot of money on these things. One by one, they all looked very hot-eyed.
The elders of the Duan family, the Niu family, and the Wang family, when they were registered at that time, saw with their own eyes the deed tax money given by the Wu family to the yamen, and the account money was almost two taels of silver.
Two taels of silver, that's a whole two taels of silver......
For them, what is the concept of two taels of silver?
Two taels of silver have to make them fight dozens of people, who do not eat or drink for a whole year, only know how to farm and cultivate, and cannot pay all kinds of taxes, so they can save two taels of silver in hand.
Two taels of silver is a huge amount of money for them.
If a small family like them can't work hard, be diligent, and save money for five or eight years, they won't be able to save so much money at hand......
Thinking that there is such a big gap between his family and his family, Duan Wenyan, who has always been pretentious and unwilling to admit defeat in his heart, couldn't help but sigh.
I don't have the ability!
The people in their own family are all wretched, and all of them are incompetent!
If his sons had the ambition, ability, and ability, then he, as an old father, would not have been mixed up like this at all.
His sons and grandchildren, if they can get ahead, where do they need to look at other people's faces and do things as an ancestor?
As long as he thought that when he opened an account at that time, he had accepted the love of the Wu family, Duan Wenyan pursed his mouth and did not speak.
……
When they got home, it was already completely dark outside.
After Wu Hongsheng jumped off the mule, he went to knock on the door.
As soon as the people in the house heard a knock on the door, they quickly asked, "Who is the person outside?" ”
Wu Hongsheng was carrying a large bag of things in his hand, and replied loudly, "I'm back!" ”
Knowing that Wu Hongsheng was back, Dr. Qian's grandson, Qian Dabao, ran over.
"Grandpa Wu, you're finally back!"
"All day today, Grandma Wu was a little absent-minded. I think she's worried about you......"
After the door opened, Wu Hongsheng nodded happily to Qian Dabao, and after quickly stuffing a maltose in his palm, he said to him, "Don't be in a hurry to close this door, you uncles and brothers are about to come." ”
After saying this, Wu Hongsheng went straight back to his room.
At this moment, Wu Guifang has already taken a bath and is about to sleep.
As soon as she saw Wu Hongsheng knocking on the door, she quickly got up from the bed and opened the door for him.
"How's it going today?"
"Are things going well? Did you encounter any difficulties? Are there many ruffians and hooligans in the county? Are our goods good to sell? ”
"Also, what is the price level in this county?"
Hearing this series of questions, Wu Hongsheng first put down his things unhurriedly, and then explained slowly.
"I feel that the Lishui County we are staying in now has a good economic development and a relatively good public security situation. It's just ,......"
When Wu Guifang heard this critical turn, she couldn't help but ask.
"Just what?"
Wu Hongsheng listened, and after taking off his clothes very seriously, he said it quite thoughtfully.
"I just feel that something is wrong in this county......"
Wu Guifang: "What's wrong?" ”
"Could it be that they, like us, in the county where we stayed before, will arrest all the people in the mountains and sell them to other places?"
Wu Hongsheng listened and shook his head seriously. "Not really."
