Old man Shen has tasted the dishes made by Chaotian pepper and river clams, and it is not surprising that there will be restaurants that need to be purchased, and after feeling in his heart that this granddaughter does have insight, he also has a lot of happiness in his heart, if it weren't for growing up in the capital, he probably wouldn't have such knowledge.

Shen Shuang didn't know that Old Man Shen had regarded her actions as the harvest of growing up in the capital, and she had thought of relevant words before, "Master, peach gum is the resin of the peach tree." ”

Xiao Wan's words about silver will be a hundred times more energetic than usual, and when he heard peach gum and peach trees, he quickly remembered that he had overheard the conversation between Shen Shuang and Xu by the window before, and suddenly his face suddenly realized, and his eyes exuded a greedy essence.

She never thought that the peach trees that were all over the hillside were also treasures, and even the river clams in the creek were wanted, or three pennies a pound, those peach gums must be more expensive, thinking that she would be able to make money by making peach gum in the future, Xiao Wan's whole person felt a little unable to find the north.

Xu knew about peach gum, but he didn't know that someone else had bought this thing, Shen Musheng wrinkled his brows and didn't know what he was thinking, while Old Man Shen and Wan were very curious and suspicious, "The resin of the peach tree?" Can that thing be eaten? Don't eat people to death. ”

Wan thinks that she is old and knowledgeable, but she is so old, even in the famine era, she only sees people eating grass roots and tree bark, but she doesn't see people eating those resins, how can children eat things that children don't like to play with? She was deeply skeptical.

Wan's words were echoed by Old Man Shen, "Xiaoshuang, is that peach tree resin really edible?" ”

"Of course you can, this is what I heard when I was in the capital, this peach tree resin is called peach gum, which is not only edible, but also tastes very good, and is also good for the body, and is also called tree bird's nest."

Nests? Xiao Wan hurriedly took Wan Shi's hand and spoke, his tone was very excited, "Bird's nest? Mother, I know bird's nest, isn't this what Chun Tao said at home before that she ate bird's nest when she was at Yang's house? I've heard that there are dozens of taels of silver and a tael of treasures. ”

Xu's eyes were big, she had never heard of bird's nest, and she felt distressed when she heard it now, "What can cost dozens of taels of silver a tael?" Isn't that a waste of money? ”

Wan Shi rolled his eyes at her when he heard Xu's words, his face full of impatience, "Old family, don't always make a fuss about your shallow eyelids, why do you go out and embarrass the old Shen family, you haven't even heard of bird's nest?" That's something that only nobles can eat, how can it be a waste of silver? People have silver at home, can they look at those dozens of taels? ”

"Hey, old man, when the aquatic students of the family are admitted to Xiucai and promoted to become officials, then we will eat bird's nest every day."

Shen Shuang on the side couldn't help but roll her eyes, eating bird's nest every day? Now she can't even afford to eat a penny of meat buns, her milk is really good at opening her eyes and talking nonsense, and this perception doesn't sound correct, how many people who are admitted to Xiucai and become officials can eat bird's nest every day? Unless it's a dog officer!

Of course, Shen Shuang is not easy to say this, otherwise her grandmother can chase her all over the village.

After this topic went to Dongshan Village next door, he was pulled back by Old Man Shen, "Xiaoshuang, you go on, don't listen to your milk, is this bird's nest also worth money?" How much money is Miss Jiang willing to give to buy peach gum? ”

"Jiang Gongzi is willing to give us a tael of silver and a catty, the quantity of this peach gum is limited, and only some old peach trees have it, so we can't pick much."

Xiao Wan was daydreaming, and when he heard Shen Shuang's words, he shouted in dissatisfaction, "What? Why is it only a pound of silver? Isn't it called tree bird's nest? People's bird's nest is dozens of taels of silver and a tael, how can this be compared? Xiaoshuang, don't be fooled by that Jiang Gongzi to forget everything, I heard that those rich sons are not good things, maybe they just see you foolishly deceive you. You're not a stunning beauty, why do people do business with you. ”

When Xiao Wanshi said the latter sentence, he glanced at Shen Shuang in a weird way, the latter looked at this-stirring stick, his face was not very good-looking, but before she could speak, her father Shen Musheng spoke in a cold voice, "Second brother and sister, you are talking about peach gum, don't talk about anything else, my Xiaoshuang is well-behaved, don't splash any dirty water on her." ”

Xu was also a little unhappy, his daughter was running around for the family to make money, but now she was said that although she was soft, it didn't mean that she could suffer everything, "Second brother and sister, you can't talk nonsense, and Miss Jiang is also accompanying Xiaoshuang." ”

Old man Shen also glanced at Xiao Wan with displeasure, and Wan quickly pulled the person who stood up to sit down, "You talk a lot of." ”

Xiao Wanshi laughed wryly, but he still refused to give up the opportunity to fight the mouth cannon easily, "Dad, I'm not wrong about what I said, that peach gum is a tree bird's nest, since we know that it is such a good thing, then can we worry that no one wants it?" Now that Jiang Gongzi wants our family to help pick peach gum tirelessly, but he gives such a little silver, and there is no way to pick it like this! In my opinion, it is better to pick it up and sell it to other restaurants, I have heard that the largest Manfulou in the town has the best business, and I must be willing to pay more silver, father, mother, it is better for us not to do business with that Jiang Gongzi, just do business with Manfulou. ”

Listening to Xiao Wan's words, Old Man Shen and Wan looked at each other and fell silent, Shen Shuang looked at the reactions of the two and knew that they agreed with Xiao Wan's words in their hearts, although she could understand what kind of mentality they had, after all, it was a matter of making money, and they must be selling at a high price, but Shen Shuang still felt very angry when she heard it.

She did think before that if the value of peach gum was known, it would be picked and robbed by others, and even if it was a good thing, if it was all over the street, it would not be so rare, and she even changed peach gum to snow gum, that is, in order to be able to hide the raw materials of peach gum syrup, as for how long she could hide it, she didn't know how long.

It's just that listening to her second aunt's words now, Shen Shuang is inevitably a little angry, and she really struggles to talk to people who have no brains.

Shen Shuang stood up, glanced at Old Man Shen and Wan Clan, and then looked at Xiao Wan Clan with an expressionless face, his expression and tone were very cold, "Second Auntie, presumably if I don't say it today, you don't know that there is a way to make money on the peach trees on the hillside, why should I say it?" Is it for myself or for the Shen family? People can't be so greedy, peach gum is a tree bird's nest and not bird's nest, I'm afraid you don't know how precious bird's nest is, and peach gum can't be compared at all, and the price can't be compared, why should you have something all over the mountains to give you dozens of taels of silver? ”

When Old Man Shen heard this, he seemed to be paying attention, but he didn't speak for a while, and Shen Musheng on the side hurriedly helped his daughter speak, "Dad, Xiaoshuang is right, if Xiaoshuang doesn't say it, we don't know that the peach resin is still valuable, one or two silver and a pound is already a lot, since Xiaoshuang has discussed it with Miss Jiang's brother, it is not good for us to do business with Manfulu again." ”

Xu Shi also nodded in agreement, but she didn't speak, Wan and Xiao Wan on the side glanced at each other, the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law obviously didn't agree in their hearts, as for Xiao Shan and Shi, who didn't understand what the adults were talking about, had already run outside to play with a slingshot, Shen Zhuzi sat in a sullen voice, and didn't say a word.

Shen Shuang was angry in her heart, although she had thought that there would be such consequences before, but it was really difficult to control her anger, and she was not afraid that Manfulou would buy Chaotian pepper and peach gum and river clams at a high price, after all, there were many of these things, but the chef of Manfulou didn't know how to do it, and it was impossible for anyone to ask for it at all, she only laughed at this little Wan's innocence.

Shen Shuang saw that her father didn't say anything after she told her father, probably still entangled in her heart, she is not a very patient person, since the business can't be done, then break up, her family is better alone, originally thought that the first rich will lead the latter to get rich, people don't appreciate it, she shouldn't seem to be angry.

At this time, the sky had darkened, and everyone at the table did not speak, Shen Shuang sighed softly and spoke, "Master, originally I have negotiated with Jiang Gongzi today, our family supplies the things they need, and after establishing a cooperative relationship, we can also cooperate happily for a long time, and now the second uncle is still working at Jiang Gongzi, so willing to help our family, but we are...... Since the second aunt is saying this now, it seems that the business of the two families can't be done, and the second aunt wants to do business with Manfulou, so just take the peach gum to Manfulou to sell, I don't want to care about this matter anymore, and the cooperation with Jiang Gongzi will end here. ”

As he spoke, Shen Shuang looked at Xu, "Mother, since everyone has eaten well, let's clean up the dishes and chopsticks." ”

Xiao Wanshi heard what Shen Shuang said so far, and she didn't know why she was inexplicably a little flustered, but she thought that since the peach gum was so valuable, someone must want it, so she was also relieved.

Old man Shen was still struggling, he heard Shen Shuang's words and knew that she was unhappy about this, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, but Wan Shi on the side was disdainful, she didn't care about Shen Shuang's attitude at all, she thought that when the time came, it would be good to sell peach gum for dozens of taels of silver a catty, and she could buy a house in the town and be a townsman, and her face would be bright at that time.

Seeing the old man sighing, Wan couldn't help but persuade, "Old man, what are you sighing, the second family talks a lot, and the Jiang family is too burying people, so they only give one or two silver and a catty, let's go to another family if we don't do business with him, what's there to be afraid of." Old man, pillar, boss, don't go down to the ground tomorrow, let's go up the mountain to pick peach gum. The second family, tomorrow you don't beat pigweed, go pick peach gum. ”

Listening to her grandmother's joyful arrangement, Shen Shuang just wanted to roll her eyes, she really didn't know where they got their confidence, but she still didn't want them to shout out about letting everyone know that peach gum could be eaten, and it was estimated that she wouldn't be able to sell peach gum at a price, so she couldn't help but remind more, "Grandpa, grandma, don't tell others everything when you pick peach gum, otherwise everyone will know that peach gum can be eaten, and no one will ask for a penny or a catty." ”
