Wanshi always knew that bird's nest was very expensive, but he didn't know that it really needed hundreds of taels and one catty.

A few hundred taels of silver, to be replaced, Wan Shi didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't know how much, even if she had a few hundred taels of silver tickets locked in her cabinet at this time, she still felt pain when she heard it, thinking that if she was going to eat Nalaoshzi bird's nest, it would be a waste of silver.

"A few hundred taels of silver, my God, the third child, what kind of treasure are those bird's nests, why are they so expensive? Bird's nest, isn't that a nest made of swallows? But isn't that swallow all the dirt in the field? What the hell is going on? ”

Shen Shuisheng was a little helpless when he saw her divert the topic, but he actually didn't know very well why this bird's nest was so sought after, he had also eaten a little bit when the Wang family ate it before, and the taste was average.

"Mother, the bird's nest we eat is naturally different from the bird's nest under our roof, so naturally it can't be compared."

Old man Shen is actually not unimpressed, a few hundred taels and one catty, even if they can sell the peach gum on hand at a price of one hundred taels and one catty, no, even if it is ten taels and one catty, their old Shen family will not have to worry in the future, but now one or two catties sounds like the price is lower.

Old man Shen has always listened to his old son's words the most, and when he said this in a few words, his original firm idea of not being a demon again wavered.

"Third child, I want you to say, who do you think we can sell these peach gums to? There are still a lot of peach gum at home, and there must be a lot of peach trees on the mountain, even if it is scattered peach trees, it is estimated that there are them. ”

These days, I patronize and sell peach gum, and there is a lot of work in the field, and I can't afford to delay it when I see that I am about to plant it in spring, so I don't go up the mountain to pick it together.

Shen Shuisheng groaned for a while and spoke, "Dad, how much peach gum is left in our house?" According to me, let's stop selling it to Yunlailou, it's only a tael of silver and a catty, it's too low, and it's not cost-effective. ”

Wan Shi also felt that this was the truth when he heard this, so he nodded, stretched out his hand and pushed the old man Shen's arm, "Old man, I think the third man is right, I thought it was very cheap before, only one or two silver a catty, although it is not a real bird's nest, but Xiaoshuang said the bird's nest on the tree, that is the same." Why is bird's nest only a pound for a few hundred taels, our peach gum is so hard to pick, but the price is so low. ”

Old man Shen looked at his son, "There are still eight or nine baskets of peach gum left in the house, and if you sell it, you will have to have at least a thousand taels of silver." ”

Wan Shi pondered for a moment, but she didn't know how to calculate, "Third brother, if we sell these peach gums to other people, how much silver do you say." ”

According to what the two of them said, Shen Shuisheng didn't think that those peach gums were unreliable, he seemed to feel that he would have a lot of silver in the future, "Now it can be sold for a thousand taels of silver, so maybe it can be sold to those Hu merchants, maybe it can be 10,000 taels." ”

Old Man Shen and Wan Shi were so surprised that they couldn't speak, "God, third child, can you really have so much silver?" ”

Wan Shi heard that she could get 10,000 taels of silver, and the whole person was going to float, even if it was 1,000 taels, she was happy, and now, what she was holding was peach gum that could sell for 10,000 taels of silver! The mothers-in-law in the village didn't know how much to look at her.

Thinking like this, Wan's tone became very anxious, "Third child, then you quickly pull the peach gum back to the town to sell, so as not to have too many dreams at night, why don't we pull it to the town tomorrow to sell?" But to whom? Do you know any Hu Shang? Hey, my mother knows that you are the most promising person in our old Shen family, my mother is not wrong, our family really has to rely on you, and your two brothers are waste. ”

Wan Shi was so excited that tears rushed out, and even the old man Shen looked at Shen Shuisheng expectantly, the latter inexplicably felt a little weak, he just said, or what he said at this time is also his beautiful idea, whether it can be sold or not, in fact, he doesn't know.

Shen Shuisheng cleared his throat, and did not reveal his weak heart, but said seriously, "Dad, mother, now that Hu merchants are all passing by, I think it is better to put them in my father-in-law's rice shop to help sell them." Bao Niang's father knows a lot of people, and he may be able to help sell them. ”

Wan Shi became a little hesitant, she knew that the old woman Wang's family was not very happy to be relatives with them, even if she often went to the town, it was because she was thick-skinned enough, so she was not forced to leave by her eyes.

"Third child, don't you know your daughter-in-law's father and mother, they can be so kind to help us sell things? If other people know about the good things like peach gum, then we have a chance to make money......"

Wan Shi didn't finish her words, but she also knew that Shen Shuisheng could understand the meaning of her words.

Sometimes although she is very confused, but she doesn't understand anything, especially the dispute of interests, she is the most meticulous, she thinks that the two old things of the Wang family may still give their peach gum, of course, she is not good to say in front of her son.

Old man Shen was also a little hesitant, he and Old Man Wang were polite on the surface, and it was not a matter of a day or two that the other party looked down on their old Shen family, "Third child, isn't this very good?" I saw that Bao Niang and her father and mother were not happy to do business with us. ”

Shen Shuisheng naturally knew what the two elders were thinking, and there was a little smile on his face, "Dad, it's okay, they're willing." And my father-in-law knows a lot of Hu merchants, bird's nest is a rare thing, and the people there don't like to eat such expensive things, but if it is peach gum, maybe they are willing to eat it. There are also merchants from the south who come to the mountain town, they like food the most, and if they know about peach gum, they will definitely be willing to buy a large number of bird's nests. ”

Although Shen Shuisheng was quite familiar with peach gum, he didn't know how to boil peach gum, but when he thought that it could be sold to Yunlai Lou, it was still as much as a pound and a tael of silver, so he felt that he had to seize this opportunity.

In the end, under Shen Shuisheng's persuasion, Old Man Shen and Wan nodded and agreed to let the peach gum be sold in Wangjia Rice Shop, and at the same time said that they would go to the mountain tomorrow to see the peach gum.

Shen Shuang didn't know that Old Man Shen and Wan Shi had already wanted to change the hexagram and sell peach gum at a high price, at this time she was sleeping soundly, she now belonged to the group of people who went to bed early and got up early, slept earlier than the moon, woke up as early as a crowing rooster, and her body became lighter and lighter, also because there is no condition to weigh herself every day, otherwise she really wants to record her weight every day, and then have a good comparison.

At this moment, Shen Shuang dreamed of the Simmons big bed in modern times, the beautiful clothes in the whole cloakroom, exquisite breakfast snacks, all kinds of delicacies, and all kinds of cool desserts......

Shen Shuisheng was too excited because he was thinking about the peach gum, and when he went back to the house to lie down, he couldn't fall asleep, and the sleeping Wang family was woken up by him, and when he asked him to sleep well, Shen Shuisheng ran up and sat down, she was a little angry, and simply ignored him.

Before dawn the next day, Wang was woken up by the sound of voices in the courtyard outside.

Not only the roosters in the yard but also the sound of the roosters in the village crowing in unison made the ears buzz, as well as the sound of talking, the sound of washing and scrubbing were intertwined, Wang was so angry, but when he got up from the kang, he found Shen Shuisheng sitting next to him reading a book, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Wang was very strange, sat up and gathered his hair and clothes before putting on his shoes and getting out of bed, "Xianggong? What's going on with you? Didn't have a night off? ”

Shen Shuisheng's dark circles are very heavy, it's not that he hasn't slept, but he is not used to lying on this hard bed for a while, and he is thinking about the peach gum thing, and he is afraid of affecting Wang's rest, so he got up and sat down, and after sitting for a long time, he directly lay on the table to rest, and then lit the oil lamp to read, and after seeing the movement outside, it was Shen Musheng's family who got up, and he also went back to the house to continue reading.

Shen Shuisheng wasn't sleepy at this time, but he was a little unenergetic, "Bao Niang, why do you get up so early, let's sleep for a while, I didn't sleep well yesterday, I'll just read a book for a while." ”

Wang frowned slightly, "Xianggong, but what happened?" ”

He came back very late last night, this Wang family knew, and his face looked quite excited, but seeing that he didn't plan to say it, Wang didn't ask, at this time she really couldn't help it, so she asked.

Shen Shuisheng didn't want to hide it from her, originally this matter needed to be discussed with her, "Bao Niang, my father and mother gave me twenty taels of silver last night." ”

As he spoke, Shen Shuisheng took out the twenty taels of silver from his cuffs, as for the one hundred taels of silver, he didn't plan to take them out and confiscate them, he planned to use them as private money.

Every time she asked Wang to take the money, she had to ask the reason, every time Shen Shuisheng followed his classmates to drink flower wine, he had to find ways to make up excuses, this time this time the hundred taels of silver, he thought that he would no longer need to make up so many excuses in the future.

Wang's eyes lit up, the income of the Wang family's rice shop for a month may be only a few taels of silver when it is small, but it can also withstand the income of the old Shen family for a whole year.

In these years, people in the countryside don't make much money, most of them are self-sufficient, but the shops in the town can make a lot of money, especially in a big town like Gushan Town, where there are many people coming and going from the south to the north, and I don't know how many people from other places come to do business.

In the eyes of the Wang family, the old Shen family is just a poor family, and he looks down on Shen Shuisheng because he looks okay, he looks polite, and he may still be a promising man who can be admitted to Xiucai in the future and be admitted to the Jinshi examination.

It has been more than ten years since she pressed the chips on Shen Shuisheng, and Wang was afraid that she would live like this for the rest of her life, and she was eager to hope that he could be admitted to Xiucai soon, but she was not on the list again and again, and she was so happy.

Now that he suddenly took out twenty taels of silver, the impact was simply not too big, "Xianggong, isn't the old Shen family rich?" The previous Yunlailou food box was very serious, and suddenly gave you twenty taels of silver? Is it because you can't sleep because of this? ”
