"Sell chestnuts, delicious fried chestnuts with sugar, fifteen wen a catty, everyone come and buy it!" Seeing that there were guests in front of the stall in the third room, the fat aunt immediately shouted at the top of her voice.

"Why do your chestnuts sell so cheaply? Isn't there a problem? Someone asked suspiciously.

"Sister-in-law, our chestnuts are the same as theirs, they are all picked in the same mountain, what can be the problem? It's not that we are in charge of the house, and we don't want to make money with a bad conscience, so we sell it so cheaply. Sister-in-law, do you want to do something? One pound of savings of five cents is enough to buy a pound of food. "It's true that the fat aunt is a long-tongued woman, but she can also talk when she sells things.

Seeing this, the woman looked at Bai Sanshu and his wife, who had a bad face, and saw that they were silent, and couldn't help but believe the fat aunt's words, and said unhappily: "I really didn't expect that it looks honest and honest, and it makes black money." ”

"But no, these people are just black-hearted, how hard it is to earn this money, I'm embarrassed to say that it's from a village." The fat aunt spat at Bai Sanshu and his wife, and persuaded the woman to buy more.

Bai Liu's head was dizzy with anger, and he picked up the spoon and thought about the past theory.

Seeing this, Bai Sanshu grabbed Bai Liu's and whispered: "Forget it, this chestnut was originally picked up from the mountain, how much people want to sell is someone's business, and the mouth also grows on other people's bodies, what can you do if you quarrel and win, there are not many chestnuts left in our family, and then we will go home to Maodong." ”

"The Chen family is too much of a thing, they want to sell chestnuts and no one stops them, they want to do it against us, why do they say bad things about us!" Bai Liushi put the spoon and said angrily: "Our chestnuts were bought with money, and after being put for so long, the cost of chestnuts alone will be more than seven cents, which is before earning the black line." ”

"The doctor said you can't be angry, it's getting late, let's go home early, don't you still have to make shoes?" Bai Sanshu hurriedly reassured.

Bai Liushi knew that he wouldn't be able to sell much if he stayed, so he followed Bai Sanshu to close the stall together, but after all, he was choked in his heart.

On this day, Bai Sanshu and his family went home, but they brought back more than half of the chestnuts, and their faces were not good-looking, which attracted the attention of their families.

"Daddy, what's wrong? Someone looking for trouble? Bai Ling put the food on the table and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"It's not the two cows of the Chen family, who also learned from us to sell sugar and fried chestnuts, and I don't know how they did it, and they put the stall next to us, a pound is cheaper than five cents, and many people want to buy them cheaply." Bai Liu said angrily.

Because Chen Huang and Fat Aunt have found trouble with their daughters, Bai Liu's family also hates these two people very much.

Bai Ling smiled when he heard this, hugged Bai Liu's arm and said, "What's the matter, don't be angry, let them be silent for a few days, and there will be times for them to cry." ”

"They sold more than 100 catties of chestnuts a day, how can they cry." Bai Liu's family was really unhappy, and said angrily: "Don't say these words to coax your mother, it's a big deal, we won't sell it, and we will eat the rest by ourselves." ”

"When I taught the big guy to pick chestnuts, I didn't say how to store this thing to keep it fresh. Even if their chestnuts are not moldy, they must be dry, and when those who bought them come home and find that they can't eat it, they must not go to their trouble? Bai Ling chuckled.

When Bai Ling said that he would not accept the chestnuts of the Chen brothers, he had a calculation in his heart, but the Chen family had not moved for so long, and Bai Ling had forgotten about it.

Chestnuts will become moldy if they are not stored well, and even if they are not moldy, they will lose water, which will affect the taste.

The chestnuts at home are selling fast, and the weather in the north is cold, so it has only been sold for more than two months and there has been no qualitative change.

"What?" Bai Liushi was happy when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Second girl, tell me what's going on." ”

Bai Sanshu's father and son also looked at Bai Ling, waiting for her to make it clear.

Seeing this, Bai Ling had to talk about the pit he had dug again, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat dinner.

"Isn't it a bit unkind for us to do this?" After Bai Sanshu heard this, his honest face wrinkled, "The Chen family brothers have not picked chestnuts, this moldy and thrown away is also a waste, and they can't be eaten if they are dry." ”

"When they came to bully people, they didn't think about being kind. Besides, some people don't teach them a lesson, and they think we owe them. Dad also saw it, the Chen family is deliberately against us, if such a person doesn't cheat him, wouldn't it be possible to send him silver for the New Year? ”

Bai Ling snorted, not at Bai Sanshu.

"It's a pity that it's moldy, but dad dares to guarantee that our family will give them the method of preservation, and the Chen family can get sawdust diligently? Besides, dry chestnuts are not delicious, but if they are broken to cook porridge or stewed rice, it is not bad, not to mention filling the stomach, it is much better than eating bran, and the villagers will waste it. ”

"The second sister did the right thing, these two families just owe a lesson." Bai Wei is the most supportive of Bai Ling's approach.

"Master, when will your good old man's temperament change? People are bullying our daughters in front of us, and you still want to help them? ”

Bai Liu's bun personality has changed a lot, after taking off his shoes and going to the kang, he took Bai Xiaoshan into his arms and said to Bai Sanshu:

"I can tell you, this time they brought it on themselves, I'll wait to see if they are unlucky, if you dare to ventilate the news, you will sleep in the kitchen later."

Bai Sanshu's old face turned red, and he got on the kang silently, and didn't say anything anymore.

The Bai Ling sisters glanced at each other, and they both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.

For a few days in a row, Bai Sanshu and his wife went to set up a stall, but they couldn't sell many chestnuts, and only the kind of old customers who were not bad for money would continue to patronize.

However, the two of them ignored the provocation of the Chen family and just did their own business.

The Chen brothers had the idea of making a lot of money in a muffled voice, unless the people in the village found out, otherwise they didn't plan to let the big guy know about it, so the people in the village didn't know for the time being that they were also selling sugar and fried chestnuts.

Finally on the third day, the mayor's mansion came to the stall and directly tied up the four brothers and concubines of the Chen family.

"My lord, we didn't do anything! Did you tie up the wrong person? Chen Daniu shouted.

"Yes, we are doing a little business in our duty, and the two people on the other side are lacking in virtue, and a pound of chestnuts picked in the mountains is sold for 20 yuan, which is too black-hearted." Chen Erniu shouted.

Chen Huang and the fat aunt can talk in the village, but in the end they are just country women, and they will be too scared to speak.

When Bai Sanshu heard this, he was angry and wanted to scold his mother, but he was stopped by Bai Liu's family, and whispered in his ear: "The head of the family is calm, you look at these two families, but you still think that the second girl is not kind before, is such a person worth worrying about them?" ”

"Alas!" Bai Sanshu sighed, but he didn't say anything gloating.

"A few of you stopped at the point, some people went to the mayor to complain, saying that they ate the chestnuts sold by your family, had diarrhea, and some people were lying in the infirmary. If this kills someone, you just have to wait for the lawsuit. Seeing that the Chen brothers were not cooperative, the wooden stick in his hand directly beckoned over.

The mayor of the town is not an official appointed by the imperial court, although the people under him are also called Bu Kuai, but in order to distinguish them from the county government's arrest fast, everyone calls them Bu Kuai.
