In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of November, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and I was wearing thin jackets before I knew it.

The Chinese New Year is still two months away.

Su Yining's family sat around the courtyard, with a pile of ginger in the middle, and each of the four of them held a small wooden stick and gently pulled out the mud from the ginger gap.

Su Yong said while digging: "Last year, everyone planted more ginger, and the price was cheaper, but this year, everyone planted less." No, there are fewer things, and the price has gone up, but fifteen wen a catty! We have a lot of growing, but we can sell it for a good price! ”

"Yes, the price is not usually seven or eight pounds a pound in a year! Before, I wanted to plant less, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sell it, but fortunately I listened to you! Jiang Qing spoke, and his hand didn't stop, "How many catties can we sell?" ”

Su Yong estimated, "Three hundred catties, four or five taels of silver is about the same!" ”

Su Yining didn't have any concept of these silver and copper plates, and he didn't quite understand how to convert them.

But she knew that four or five taels of silver was enough for their family to spend a year!

After all the ginger has been processed, it is spread out in the yard and allowed to dry the moisture from the surface of the wind.

Looking at the ginger in this yard, Su Yining was a little worried, "Dad, how can so many of them be transported to the town to be sold?" ”

Su Yong grinned and said, "You don't have to go to the town, someone will come to the village tomorrow to collect it." ”

Jiang Qing was a little surprised: "Didn't they all go to the town to sell in previous years?" ”

"This year, I heard that some people from the county town came down to collect it, and it seems that it is still the owner of a big restaurant! It's a lot, so just come down and collect it yourself! Su Yong said what he heard from the village chief.

The three of them understood.

Sure enough, after breakfast the next day, I heard someone outside shouting: "The people from the county town have come down to harvest ginger!" ”

Su Yining and Su Yijin heard this and hurriedly ran out to see.

When the two came to the entrance of the village, they saw a flatbed truck parked on the pipeline at the entrance of the village, and at the end, there was a carriage.

Su Changqing, the village head, was talking to a middle-aged man.

"You're there too?"

When the two of them heard this, they turned around and saw Bai Zhusheng standing behind the two of them in white with a gentle smile on his face.

As soon as Su Yining wanted to speak, Su Yijin took the lead.

Su Yijin put her arm on Bai Zhusheng's shoulder, "Isn't our family going to sell ginger, I heard that someone from the county seat is coming, so let's take a look." Why are you here too? ”

Bai Zhusheng glanced at Su Yining, and then spoke: "I heard that an acquaintance is here, come and have a look." ”

"What acquaintance?" The brother and sister asked at the same time.

Bai Zhusheng laughed, raised his hand and pointed to the middle-aged man who was talking to Su Changqing, "Now, shopkeeper Zhang, the big shopkeeper of Fuke Restaurant." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang also saw that Bai Zhusheng was born, said something to Su Changqing, and walked to Bai Zhusheng's side.

Bai Zhusheng hurriedly caught up with him, and the two of them hurriedly followed when they saw this.

"Shopkeeper Zhang!" Bai Zhusheng saluted.

Shopkeeper Zhang helped Bai Zhusheng up: "Bai Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

"Shopkeeper Zhang is polite, how is Jiang's harvest?" Bai Zhusheng smiled and asked politely.

As soon as he mentioned this, Shopkeeper Zhang was worried, "Alas, don't say it." I ran to several villages, and I only collected more than 500 catties! Everyone grows less, and a family is only a few dozen catties, and many people are still reluctant to sell, saying that they want to keep their own food! In previous years, it was necessary to go to the countryside to collect it, and it was not all transported to the town to be sold! ”

Shopkeeper Zhang raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, with a sad face.

Bai Zhusheng asked: "Then how much do you have to collect?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhang sighed: "Naturally, the more the better, so many restaurants, they all have to be used!" The owner also sent someone to collect it from the town. ”

Bai Zhu was surprised and nodded.

Su Yijin spoke at this time: "Shopkeeper Zhang, my family has planted a lot of ginger this year, do you want to take a look?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned: "Better?" How many? ”

Su Yijin pulled the corners of her mouth, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "There are three hundred catties!" ”
