Chapter 8 is only worth three taels and five dollars
Dian Cuizhu moved his cane step by step to the back basket that Yueying threw down, and poured out these grasses, and the thick grass canes and roots were actually very light in his hands. Diancui smiled slightly, it's so good, such a look is right for her.
According to her memory, as long as it takes another ten years, this grass is urgently needed, so it often grows to a year, and then it is dug up to make a grass head flower. It's rare to see it as long as it is three or five years, or even ten years like this.
Dian Cui happily packed them up at the base of the wall and put them together with other firewood. Then some of the insects in the bamboo tube were fed to the chickens, and the rest was poured into a large stoneware jar, and a layer of rotten leaves was put on the kang stool where the fire was burned, so that the insects would live longer in winter.
So on the second day, there are not a few grass piled up at the root of the wall, while it is wet, the core inside is taken out one by one, cut into sections, and then straightened up and put it in the big bamboo strip to dry until it will be dry. It took another whole day to cut them into thin slices with a bamboo knife.
The texture of this thin slice is beautiful, soft and white, and it is lovely to look at. That night, Diancui slept steadily, just waiting for the dawn, Qian Laosi and they went out, and they started to make grass hairpins by themselves.
Who expected that on the second day, Qian Laosi's family was reluctant to go out, Diancui's heart was in a hurry, and the grass sheets were dried for a night, today is the time to make a good production, but the adoptive mother has been refusing to go out, she has to look hard.
At noon, in addition to the emerald, even Yueying began to be like an ant on a hot pot, because in another hour, it would be the time for the little guy to deliver snacks!
Just when the two of them were sad, a man with a short and fat figure came in outside, and Qian Lao Si's family heard the sound in the house, and walked out quickly with a smile on his face to greet him.
The two of them glanced at each other meaningfully as they walked past Diancui, who was feeding the chickens outside, and then entered the house.
"Xiaocui, go to the head shaving shed at the head of the village and call your father back, saying that a guest is coming." Qian Laosi's family commanded in a loud voice.
Diancui was stunned for a moment, looked at the inconvenient legs and feet, and thought that he had heard a mistake, and according to her, he moved to the village head and left......
"Mother, I'll go, sister, she's on crutches." Yueying hurriedly took over the conversation, the little guy brother should be about to arrive, and he is in a hurry to die!
"Let Xiaocui go, Xiaocui will go, what is the rubbing, go quickly!" The eyebrows of the fourth family of Qian Lao were hanged, and his voice was higher again.
When Diancui went out, Qian Laosi's family immediately changed their faces, poured a bowl of hot tea for the second housekeeper, and ordered a large spoonful of sucrose and a pinch of black sesame seeds.
The second housekeeper took out a sweat towel from his arms, tied a small tweezer and a teaspoon to the corner of the sweat towel, twisted the teaspoon and stirred the tea, took a sip, and said slowly.
"The appearance is considered Zhouzheng, but this leg is ......"
When Qian Laosi's family heard that Diancui's broken leg was mentioned, he hurriedly spoke: "Don't worry, this little girl's leg is not injured, and she is a good person to feed, she has only been injured for a few days, and she can walk and move down the kang with kinetic energy, and she can also go to the pot to wipe the stove." If this is not a few days away, he will be a lively person again......" Qian Lao Sijia said and picked up the short-spouted pot for the second housekeeper to pour the tea full, while sighing: "If it weren't for the silver outside my house, I would be reluctant to sell it cheaply." ”
The second housekeeper thought for a moment, and only said: "I think four taels of silver is difficult to achieve, if you want to say three taels, there may be a play." Su Ri and I have been doing things at Master Liu's house, and we can be regarded as getting along well, for this I will also go to the master to fight for five more dollars with you, and it is also considered that we have a relationship, what do you think? ”
The fourth family of Qian Lao knew that the three taels and five dollars of silver should be the highest price that could be paid by the rich man Liu, so he nodded immediately, and sent the second housekeeper out of the door with a thousand thanks. Before leaving, the second housekeeper did not forget to remind her that in five days, someone would come to deliver the silver to the house, and they would pack up and take it away.
After hearing this, Qian Laosi's family said that they could rest assured, the family will boil madder and dye the water-red muslin in the near future, and Ming'er will ask the neighbors for help, and he will be happy to discipline Master Liu in a new dress.
After the second housekeeper left, Qian Laosi's family asked Yueying to call Diancui back, and when the lobbyist left, she also had to go to Liu's house to work, so that their father didn't have to come back.
Yueying was very happy to get this, and rushed to the entrance of the village with a jump, and saw that Diancui was still limping there halfway, and couldn't help laughing at her stupidity in her heart, but she didn't show it directly on her face like before, because Diancui said that it would only take a day or two for the flower to be made.
