The second batch of silkworm cocoons came down, and the snowflake-white cocoons were placed on the bamboo strips to dry, glowing with a silver luster.

Su Li estimated the weight of the silkworm cocoon, full of joy. After selling this batch of silkworm cocoons, you can buy cloth, and the summer shirts of your grandchildren should be made.

San'er's birthday is approaching, and it is best to boil a few red eggs and celebrate. It's okay to cut the meat with a knife, but I'm afraid that there will be no money on hand by then.

People come and go in Nanshi, lively and extraordinary, there are buying and selling, income silkworm cocoons, selling silk threads. Cloth, furs, and medicinal herbs were all bought and sold.

Su Li led a donkey, and two baskets of silkworm cocoons hung on the donkey's back.

The sharp-eyed shopkeeper saw the difference in the silkworm cocoon, trotted to Su Li's, stretched out two fingers, and flipped it up and down.

Another shopkeeper came running, stretched out two fingers with both hands, left hand did not move, and right hand turned up and down.

One person bid 20 wen a catty, and one person bid 22 wen a catty, but this is not what Su Li wants.

Su Li waved his hand, took the donkey and walked inside.

"Mrs. (honorific title for the old man), Mrs., what do you think of this number?" The shopkeeper added another two pennies.

A smart person went directly to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper who had been impregnated in the silk firm for countless years, how could he not see the quality of this silk?

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry to bid, but tossed the cocoons in the basket, and all the cocoons were the same, which was the best goods.

Picking up a silkworm cocoon, the shopkeeper licked his fingers and twisted a silk thread with his wet fingers.

The color of silk is bright and slightly white, and the two fingers rub the silk, which feels smooth and continuous, and the texture is delicate and elastic.

The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, wanting to bid and see his opponent on the side.

Good goods appeared, and the traders who bought and sold silkworm cocoons came to take a look. It's okay to grab business, it's okay to watch the excitement, they won't miss out on good things.

"It's comparable to the double palace cocoon, and the bid can't be low." One laughed.

Double-palace silkworm, cocoon with two or more silkworm pupae in the cocoon. Because it is intertwined with each other when spinning, it is not one to the end. This cocoon makes silk cotton more fluffy, and is most favored by high-ranking households.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid to crook my mouth when I say big things, a single cocoon is not as good as a double cocoon. It's big, but it has too many maculas and can't be sold for good money. ”

"Don't say anything else, just look at the price of this color is not low, Lao Li Tou wants to lower the price, and you can't belittle this cocoon."

"Aunt Su, I'll sell thirty-two texts, if you want, sell them to me." Acquaintances and friends stepped forward to make an offer.

"Thirty-three texts."

"Thirty-three cents and five cents."

"Thirty-eight texts."

Which bastard is not sensible to raise the price like this? Do you understand the rules?

The shopkeepers look out for the people who are bidding.

Wang Lung squeezed through the crowd before entering the inner circle on the periphery, and said to the shopkeepers around him, "I'm really sorry, this business is going to ship, and there is just a lack of treasure." If it's not good, take it back to the owner, and this trip will be in vain. Gentlemen, help, help. ”

Everyone saw that it was this splash, and the barbarian was not a friend. They wanted to raise the price, but they knew that this punk was not an honest person, and they were afraid of falling for him, so they stopped talking and waved their sleeves and left.

Wang Lung honestly gave up his hands, persuaded his peers away, and persuaded the onlookers to disperse. Teach Su Li to pick up a higher price.

People who know each other spread the news that the Su family's aunt has raised good silkworms. Those who hear this news are envious, jealous, and disdainful.

When the lady of the Lai family heard the news, she gritted her teeth and hated, she asked the Su family to apologize, but there was no one to see. taught her son to be beaten in vain, and the lady of the Lai family couldn't swallow this breath. I have to teach the Su family a lesson.

Here, Su Li led the donkey home, put the money bag in a beautiful way, and put it in front of his daughter-in-law.

Su Zhangshi looked at the money bag differently, and asked in surprise: "So much!" ”

Su Li was quite proud, "The silkworms raised by the old body are not cheap. He lowered his head and smiled again, covering his mouth happily, "A descendant named Wang Long directly gave thirty-eight wen a catty. Generous, really generous. ”

"What a nice guy." Su Zhang put away the money bag and went to pour water for her mother-in-law, thinking about what fabrics to buy and how many sets of clothes to make for the children.

The more than 700 yuan made the Su family happy for several days.

Su Zhang's and Su Li's pulled a few feet of cloth and made summer shirts for the children overnight.

Su Shan, who put on new clothes, jumped three times, so unhappy. It's Su Chong, he hides his new clothes and doesn't wear them, and if he takes them out, the clothes won't fit.

On this day, Su Chengqi hurried home and told his wife to prepare the burden, he needed to go out for a few days.

Squatted in front of San'er and gave her two red-headed ropes, "San'er, Lao Li Tou wants his father to go to Dongwangzhuang to go to Soma, this round trip will take seven or eight days, and I can't celebrate my birthday with you." ”

stroked the top of San'er's hair and sighed, "It's been two years in the blink of an eye, and San'er has grown up so fast." ”

Su Chengqi sighed in his heart, or is it the most accomplished thing to touch the top of San'er's hair, do you want to stop pretending to be pitiful and touch it a few more times?

Su Chengqi lowered his face and said with sadness: "San'er, it's my father who doesn't ......."

Su Lingyu thought that his cheap father was sincerely repentant and determined to reform himself, but looking at the corners of his mouth that was forcefully suppressed and raised, he knew that this guy pretended to be pitiful and took advantage of her.

The white and tender little hands snapped on the rough yellowed wrists, and the black and white eyes glared fiercely, as if to say: "Presumptuous, I am the one you can bully?" ”

"San'er is so comfortable to beat his father, come and play a few more." There is no one such a shameless character.

Su Lingyu pouted his ass and opened the stool, escaping from the clutches of his cheap father on the side.

…………

On her birthday, Su Li boiled a few red eggs for her, and Su Zhang made her a lotus root powder shirt.

With the red head rope on the cupola braid, pink and pink, he sat on the small bench, like the lotus doll sent by the lotus fairy.

Su Chong, who returned from private school, opened his coat pocket like a treasure, and a few bayberry berries blackened by red were lying there quietly, full of grains and watery.

Although Yangmei is small, it can reveal Su Chong's attention to his sister and express his brother's love for his sister.

She loves cleanliness, she doesn't care whether it's clean or not at the moment, she just picks one up, puts it in her mouth and grinds the bayberry with her gums.

When the gums come into contact with the tender bayberry flesh, the sweet and sour jam erupts, which is sweet and sour, making the mouth and tongue relish.

Spit out the bayberry kernel, the tongue is sweet and sweet, and the teacher wants to eat the second one.

At this time, Su Shan ran into the house, his hair was dripping with sweat, his cheeks were flushed, he was out of breath, and put the mulberry fruit in his pocket on the table.

The ripe mulberry fruit was black and red, and it was thrown on the table, and a lot of juice flowed out.

Xingda's eyes stared at him, as if to say, "Why are you running so fast?" Can I still run? ”

Su Lingyu pulled out a small handkerchief, and Su Shanbian handed his face over, begging his sister to serve.

Enjoying his sister's service, Su Shan Meizizi, "You don't know that there is a group of animals behind you, all of them are screaming and opening their mouths to grab food." If I couldn't run, you wouldn't want to eat this mulberry fruit. ”

Seeing that his sister helped Su Shan wipe his face, Su Chong was so envious that he bumped his butt and knocked Su Shan away.

He pouted his ass and stretched out his head to his sister, "Good three, big brother also needs you to wipe it." ”

The big and small radish heads are really hard to serve, good for this, not bad for that.

How much water does a small handkerchief absorb? Su Lingyu wiped Su Zhong with his hand sleeve.

Su Zhang's family found clothes, grabbed the eldest son and pulled the second son, and pushed them to change clothes.

Everyone sweats with relish, and they don't change their clothes, but they smell much better when they change their clothes.
