Chapter 47: Cutting Rice
"Uncle, are you ready for the scythe? How much money was spent together. Huang Yiyun came out of the back kitchen of the big bowl of food and wine shop to meet Huang Conghe, Huang Yiyun saw that the uncle bought a lot of things, and after he carried a lot of things, Huang Yiyun hurriedly took some things from the back basket on Huang Conghe's back and put them in his back basket, and asked after seeing Huang Conghe buy five sickles.
"Uncle, isn't it just about to cut rice when you see the village chief's family and the Liu family? You have to use a sickle to cut rice, this sickle is not cheap, Uncle estimated that touched, each family has calculated the number of sickles, I'm afraid there is no superfluous, even if there is, it is one or two more, not enough for our family, when the time comes, go to the two of them to help, there is no sickle in hand, and it can't help, plus our family also has to use it, so, Uncle bought it with this purchase, and there are still five hundred and ninety copper plates left? ”
"It's still thoughtful." Huang Yiyun raised his thumb at Huang Conghe and said.
After Huang Conghe saw his eldest sister praising herself, he scratched his head a little embarrassed.
After Huang Yiyun and Huang Conghe rushed back from the town, they saw that many villagers in the village were cutting rice in their paddy fields.
After Huang Yiyun's uncle and nephew saw this, they quickened their pace and walked towards their home.
"Mother, sister-in-law, why are you at home, didn't you say that you were going to the village chief's house and Liu's family to help cut rice?" After Huang Conghe saw that Huang Li and Huang Liu were still at home, he asked a little strangely.
Didn't my mother say yes before? Did they each send to the village chief's house and the Liu family to help?
"They don't have extra sickles to cut rice in every house, they don't have sickles, and they don't want to go to their fields to help. Therefore, my mother sent a few small ones to the two of them to pick up ears of rice.
Hey, the field chicken sold for so much money, not only bought two coarse cloths back, but also bought cotton and shoe soles, which cost a lot of silver! After Huang Li saw that Huang had come back from carrying so many things from the back basket on the back of the river, he said lightly.
"Milk, Uncle also bought a sickle in the town, let's go and help." Huang Yiyun said and took out the sickle from the back basket.
"It's not that the eldest sister has made up those spices, and they can be sold for money, you guess, you wrapped a small bag of spices yesterday, do you know how much money you sold for a pack?" Huang Conghe asked Huang and Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with some excitement on his face at this time.
"How much is such a thing worth, and I am too expensive to sell two copper plates in a pack?" Seeing that his man was so excited, Huang Jiang shook his head and said.
"Two copper plates, you are too underestimated, a package of spices, the eldest sister sold nine copper plates?" Huang looked proud from the river, as if he had sold the business.
"I'm a mother! That's what we sold. Huang Liu felt incredible, and said with wide eyes.
Yesterday, Huang Liu and Huang Jiang wrapped those spices for the eldest sister, and the eldest sister said it was a surprise, so she didn't ask.
Isn't it going to be a shock today.
Even Huang Li is incredible.
"And more than that? The eldest sister taught a dish in a wine shop with a big bowl of dishes, do you know how much the eldest sister taught them how much a dish sold? Huang Conghe asked the three of Huang and Li with some ostentatiousness.
"How much.".
"That's the number." Huang Conghe stretched out three fingers and said.
"Thirty copper plates, well, the eldest sister cooks delicious food, teach them a dish, although thirty copper plates are not cheap, but they are not expensive." Huang Jiang nodded.
Although she has not eaten the dishes made by the wine shop in the town, she has eaten the food made by the eldest sister, and the food made by the eldest sister tastes very good.
"More than that?" Huang Conghe shook his head.
"Difficult...., is it three...., three hundred copper plates." Huang Liu was a little shocked and stammered.
"Exactly."
"Eldest sister, you got those spices from the mountains, are there any other spices in the mountains? The shopkeeper of the town's liquor store doesn't want those spices next time. Huang Li also knew that the eldest sister and Huang Liu's concubine were making these things in the kitchen with the eldest sister yesterday, and Huang Li didn't expect that the small package of spices would be sold for nine copper plates, and he was also very shocked in his heart.
Then, after Huang Li thought of something, he looked around, beckoned them into the house, and then asked Huang Yiyun.
"Yes, and there are quite a few? However, Shopkeeper Zhang has already agreed with the eldest sister that he will now send a hundred packets of spices to their wine store every ten days. Huang Yiyun nodded and replied.
"In that place, the eldest sister saw that there were no footprints, it seems that no one had been there, and the eldest sister also knew the things, plus the spices that the eldest sister sold to Xiangmanlou were all chopped up, and even the doctors and guys in the pharmacy couldn't recognize them, so let's rest assured." After Huang Yiyun saw that Huang Li and the others had something to ask, Huang Yiyun hurriedly said.
So that they can relax.
"One pack can sell nine copper plates, and three hundred packs a month, how much can it be sold for?" Huang Liu folded his fingers and calculated, and asked after some confusion.
"Mother, we can sell twenty-seven hanging copper plates. That is, two taels of silver and seven hanging coins. ”
"Don't worry about this for the time being, our family also has a sickle now, hurry up and finish breakfast, let's go to the village chief's house and Liu's house to help." The second family, you are guarding at home, and now when the farm is busy, our family will eat three meals for the time being, and do a little more. Huang Li took the remaining copper plate from Huang Conghe and locked it in the cabinet in his room, and after coming out, Huang Li said.
Huang Liu finished eating in a daze, and was dragged by the eldest sister to Village Chief Zhang's house to help cut rice.
It's just that before Huang Yiyun left, he went out with a wooden barrel.
In addition to her mother-in-law Zhang Lin, Village Chief Zhang also has five sons, the eldest is already twenty-one years old, and the youngest one is fifteen years old this year, and he was admitted to the county school, and then went to the county academy to study.
After Huang Yiyun and Huang Liu came to the paddy field of Village Chief Zhang's house.
I saw that the family raised the sickle and tried hard to cut the rice.
After the fourth brother saw Huang Yiyun and his mother coming, he wanted to shout, but Huang Yiyun hurriedly made a shush to the fourth brother.
After that, Huang Yiyun pulled Huang Liu's clothes, snorted at Huang Liu's mouth, and motioned for the two to cut rice from the other paddy field at the other end of their house.
Huang Liu also understood, and the two of them bypassed the front of the village chief's house, tied up their trousers directly, and began to cut rice in the back.
Now at the beginning of July, when the sun is shining, I tie up my trousers and walk into the paddy fields.
The paddy fields are soft and warm.
