"Uncle Zhang, my family's honey Uncle gives 500 wen a catty, isn't it a lot?"

"Oh! Honey should be divided into spring honey and winter honey, and it depends on the quality. As far as I know, the best quality spring honey on the market is one tael of silver, winter honey costs two taels of silver, and the inferior one costs 500 wen a catty! ”

"Then Uncle Zhang can help us see how much our honey can be sold for?"

When Chen Xiaocai heard that the price of honey was so far apart, he also moved the idea of asking someone to check it.

"Since Brother Zhang understands, please help us check it!"

The steward stopped doing it, and said angrily: "Eh! I said that you have all seen this, and you are negotiating the price, and the price I gave is also fair, so you are making trouble by finding two people like this, right? ”

"Dad, Uncle is angry, shall we go to another house and ask?"

Chen Xiaocai couldn't make up his mind for a while, afraid that he would lose money and that he wouldn't be able to sell.

At this time, Daniel Zhang had already seen honey.

"Brother Chen, your honey is clean and bright, even if it is spring honey, it is also excellent, since you haven't negotiated it yet, how about I give two taels of silver and a catty?"

"Brother Zhang, you are my benefactor! That's what can cost you so much money. I'll find something to put on in a while, you can wear it back, no money. ”

"Brother Chen, you have to collect this money, my master likes good things, although this honey is not particularly precious, but it is really rare to handle it so well, I will be filial, and the master will not lose face when he gives it away."

Chen Xiaocai was overjoyed when he heard this, it was really unexpected that someone gave such a high price! He picked up the jar and put it in the basket and was about to leave.

This is someone else's territory, and if you want to trade it, you have to change places.

The steward was in a hurry, and grabbed his father's sleeve.

"Alas! Brother, aren't we negotiating the price? If you think the price is not suitable, you can add one more, and the transaction is on a first-come, first-served basis, and you can't break this rule. ”

"Uncle steward, isn't there a person with a high price! Uncle Zhang gave two taels of silver and a catty, how much did you pay? ”

The steward didn't want to pay so much money, but there was a grabber, and the quality of this honey was really good, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and gave two taels of silver.

"Uncle steward, although we sold you honey, but we have to keep five catties, after all, we didn't say that we sold it all, right?"

Dad also thought of returning the favor, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I want to leave five catties and not sell them." ”

After saying that, he weighed it, left five catties, and sold it to the steward for twenty-one catties and six taels, and got forty-three taels of silver.

The Zhang brothers bought a lot of medicinal materials such as gold sore medicine and iron wine in the store.

The steward generously gave them a small jar that just filled five catties of honey, saying that in the future, there will be such honey that must come here, as long as the quality remains the same, the price will remain the same.

Chen Xiaocai gave five catties of honey to the Zhang brothers, and then went to eat noodles and bought some things, Yanni asked her father to take a tael of silver, bought paper and pens for her brother, and bought beautiful head ropes and beads for her two younger sisters.

Seeing that my father was holding the money but didn't know how to buy a gift for my mother, I encouraged my father to buy a silver hairpin for my mother, and then bought some food, so I went to take the car home.

When I got home, it was already dark, and when my mother saw that the father and daughter had bought so many things, she muttered, "You father and daughter spend so much money, and you don't have enough money and silver to spend." ”

Although he was muttering, the smile on the corner of his mouth never came down.

When I finished eating, my mother stopped talking a few times.

Is there anything that is so hard to say?

"Mother, what do you have to say? There are no outsiders in our family. ”

"Yes! A-Ying, if there are no outsiders here, just say anything! ”

"The master, the honey is so easy to sell, will we go into the mountain again tomorrow, the honey is hard to guarantee that others will find it in the mountain that day, so it's better to get it home."

Yanni saw her father pondering and interjected: "Daddy, I don't think this matter can be rushed. ”

"Why don't you be in a hurry, honey is so expensive, and it will take us to plant for many years after a trip into the mountains."

My brother also said, "Mother, I don't think I'm in a hurry." ”

The mother wanted to say something, but the father stopped her, "Listen to what the child has to say." ”

My brother said, "First, it's spring planting, and our family is always running to the mountains, which is too attention-grabbing." Second, there are people in the village who have raised honey and sold honey, and they have not seen that person make a fortune, so as long as their family members do not talk about it, even if others find bees, they will not pay attention to it. ”

"Hmmm! Xuan'er is right! Dad agreed with my brother's statement.

Lee: "Alas! As far as you are concerned, I don't just hear that there is a lot of honey, and the bees don't go to collect honey, and it's a pity not to cut honey for a long time. ”

"Mother, it's a pity. In the future, find a way to catch the bees back and raise them, and we will have a lot of honey in our house! ”

"You kid said it lightly, bees are so good to raise others, and others have already sent it."

"In that case, let's think about this after the spring planting! Yan'er, Le'er, and Yu'er, you remember, don't talk about honey, you know? ”

Several girls agreed in unison.

At noon one day, Chen Shizong, the little cousin of the third uncle's family, came to the house to shout. Grandpa came back, asked his father and eldest brother to talk, and said that the whole family would go to the old house for dinner tonight.

At the dinner table, the old man also talked about his experience during this time, originally he lived in his aunt's house, and the neighbor of the aunt's family had a relative who was dedicated to showing people feng shui, and the neighbor said that he wanted to open his eyes, and asked him if he wanted to go, and the old man followed on a whim.

Because he was not well informed, he didn't know that such a big thing happened at home, and when he got the news when he returned to the town, he rushed back to his aunt's house without going.

When he returned home and heard that Chen Shixuan was safe and sound, his heart fell back into his stomach.

Third Uncle: "Daddy! Our family is blessed by the Bodhisattva, Xuan'er can be rescued by nobles in the mountains, this blessing is great, you can relax when you are old! ”

Zhang agreed, "That's it, as the saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing." ”

Uncle and aunt, you are beautiful in everything I say, and I didn't mention a word about the red-faced two families that day.

After the spring planting, it is Qingming, and it is not until the Qingming sacrifice is over that Yanni's family has time to go into the mountains again to cut honey.

Yanni didn't go this time, but the father and mother quietly went with two buckets. When I came back, the bucket was full of beehives, and I should have been to a few places.

Don't look at a few buckets of beehives, the honey that was shaken out was only fifty-four catties.

This time, my father didn't wear anyone to sell honey, so he went quietly, in order not to attract attention.

Yanni was thinking about how to tell Chen Xiaocai about the appearance of the beehive she saw in her previous life, and she said it too clearly for fear of arousing suspicion. So I found my brother and designed the beehive first.

I didn't expect the first step to get stuck, the reason is that Yanni said that the beehive should be made into a square box according to the memory of her previous life, and her brother said that the beehive is round in the tree hole, and several pieces are together, so it should be made into an oblong cage.

Oh! How could she have forgotten that she had seen a cage with bees in her neighbor in her hometown before, but could she successfully raise it with that cage? People use boxes on a large scale.

In the end, the two were drawn, and Yanni's was a little more complicated, and there were a few empty frames in it, which were used for bees to make a nest. That's all she knows, and she'll figure out the rest later!
