Chapter 111: Avoidance
Walking along the path led by the farmer, he came to a courtyard in a short time.
The terrain here is quite a bit off, and there is a small bamboo forest in front of the courtyard, which is not bad, and it is quite cool.
At this time, there was an old lady in the yard who was chopping pigweed with a knife, and her movements were swift and skillful.
Ye Xiaoyan walked forward and shouted at the old lady, "Grandma, are you Xiaocui's home?" ”
Hearing this, the old lady raised her head and looked at Ye Xiaoyan with a little stunned in her eyes, "Yes, the young lady came to find my sister Cui?" ”
"Yes!" Ye Xiaoyan smiled and entered the courtyard with San'er.
Seeing this, the old lady immediately stood up from the low stool, "My hands are dirty, Miss go and sit in the house first!" Immediately, he shouted inside, "Sister Cui, come out quickly, someone is looking for you!" ”
"Whoa!" As soon as the words fell, a crisp response could be heard from inside.
Immediately, after hearing a sound in the room, Wang Xiaocui's figure appeared in front of him.
"Flowers, why are you here?" Looking at Ye Xiaoyan, Wang Xiaocui was obviously a little incredulous.
"Something's coming!" Ye Xiaoyan smiled and handed her the rattan basket in his hand, "I brought you and your grandparents some snacks!" ”
Wang Xiaocui took the basket in his hand and looked at the things inside, "Hua'er, what are you doing, come here, what else do you bring!" ”
Not to mention peanuts, the sugar cubes and pastries cost a lot of money, Wang Xiaocui only felt that the things in his hand were a little heavy.
"For my grandparents!" Ye Xiaoyan said with a smile, but Grandma Wang's Chen had already washed her hands and poured two cups of tea into the house.
"Little brother, young lady, let's have a cup of tea first!"
"Grandma doesn't have to be so polite!" Ye Xiaoyan and San'er stretched out their hands to take it, looked at the early sky, and said directly to Chen, "I came here to ask if grandma's peanuts are sold now?" ”
"Peanuts?" Chen subconsciously glanced at Wang Xiaocui.
Wang Xiaocui gestured and introduced to Chen, "Milk, this is Ye Hua'er from Shili Village, that is Grandpa Liu's little child, Liu San!" ”
Introducing it like this, Chen suddenly realized, and carefully inquired about the little girl.
This little girl is clean and clean, and she smiles from the moment she enters the door, and she looks like a sensible child.
"Flowers, are your peanuts sold out?" Hearing that he was here to buy peanuts, Wang Xiaocui was extremely surprised.
She hasn't gone to Ye Xiaoyan in the past few days, so naturally she doesn't know the current situation.
"Sold out!" Ye Xiaoyan nodded, "Your peanuts are going to be sold, if they are sold, I will buy them directly today!" ”
"! This ...... "Selling peanuts is naturally not a trivial matter, Wang Xiaocui looked up at Chen.
The Chen family has a good impression of Ye Xiaoyan, and it is good to treat his granddaughter, and this peanut is meant to be sold, and now he can exchange some money for some money to subsidize the family as soon as possible.
Yes, he didn't ask the price directly, but said, "There are some at home, but I don't get much!" ”
"It doesn't take much!" Ye Xiaoyan smiled at Chen, "It's good to have a hundred catties!" ”
"There should be a hundred pounds!" Chen nodded, "It's in the house, you come with me to take a look!" ”
After saying that, Chen took Ye Xiaoyan into a side room forbiddenly.
There were two beds in the room, but the beds were devoid of bedding and were now filled with all kinds of miscellaneous things.
The washed and packed peanuts were placed in the corner of the wall, and Chen dragged the hemp bag out a little hard.
"That's all there is to the family, and I haven't weighed it, there should be a hundred catties!" She said to Ye Xiaoyan, "This is still dug up from ago, it rained yesterday, and I didn't have time to dry it!" Do you want to see if you still want it? ”
"Done!" Ye Xiaoyan nodded, walked over and took a peel and tasted it, although it was not as good as his own, it was not bad, "Then let's weigh it first!" ”
In this regard, Chen naturally has no meaning.
Because a hundred catties of peanuts are not something that everyone can carry with a flat shoulder, Ye Xiaoyan first found a back basket, weighed the weight of the back basket first, and then put the peanuts into the back basket little by little.
Weigh three times, and write a number on the ground with charcoal for each weighing.
In this era, Arabic numerals have not yet been introduced, and Ye Xiaoyan naturally would not be so careless as to count with numbers, but wrote numbers with capital letters.
San'er had to rush to carry the flat burden, but Ye Xiaoyan had no objection.
So, after weighing, it was more than one hundred and six pounds.
"Grandma, I still have to process these peanuts at your house, is it convenient for your family?" Ye Xiaoyan asked towards Chen.
"It's convenient, there's nothing inconvenient, as long as we have something at home, you can use it at will!" Chen smiled kindly.
"What's in your house? You can fit these peanuts! ”
"Yes, there is a jar in the backyard, which is useless on weekdays, if you can use it, use it first!" Chen replied without hesitation.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyan couldn't help but have some good feelings for this grandmother.
Since she said that she would buy peanuts, Chen has never asked about the price, nor has she said when she will give the money, but she has just said that she will weigh herself, and she has not questioned whether a little girl's family will look at it.
Now I asked her if she had something like a vat, and the other party didn't ask and said directly.
It's all out of trust in her.
Subsequently, Ye Xiaoyan and San'er and Xiaocui put all the peanuts into the big vat, and Ye Xiaoyan took out the spices from the basket, and the rest was just enough for the last hundred catties.
When mixing ingredients, Wang Xiaocui took the initiative to avoid it, and when Ye Xiaoyan saw this, his heart moved slightly.
After everything was done immediately, Ye Xiaoyan returned to the front yard from the backyard.
"Grandma!" She shouted Chen and said with a smile, "I bought yours for ten pounds of peanuts for ten pounds, and one hundred and six pounds is one tael of silver and sixty pounds!" ”
As she spoke, she took out the money from her bosom, first took a tael of silver, and then counted sixty copper plates, "You count the money!" ”
"Oops!" Not only Wang Xiaocui was shocked, but Chen was shocked, "Sister Hua, what are you doing, where are these peanuts worth ten cents a catty, in the past, they could only be sold for five cents a pound when they went to town, what are you doing!" ”
"You're welcome, now that the peanuts are soaking in your house, I have to let you take care of them! You'll have to keep it! Ye Xiaoyan said, and directly stuffed the money into Chen's hand.
Chen took the money, but a pair of rough and wrinkled hands trembled a little, "No, this is not good!" ”
So, the two of them pushed me again, and finally under Ye Xiaoyan's good words, Chen Shi took a tael of silver tremblingly, but the sixty Wen refused to ask for it.
