Chapter 18: The Gluttonous Little Niece

"Go get it and weigh it in the back kitchen." The old shopkeeper is not like Young Master Jiang, and he will talk to Mingdi about the price, as a quite experienced businessman, it is easy for the old shopkeeper to fool Mingdi.

He looked incredulous, so he touched his gray beard and explained briefly, "In this season, it is quite rare to come to sell game and yams, so I will make the decision to add some money to you." ”

Mingdi came back to his senses, and he bowed down to thank the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper smiled slightly, "Thank you for not needing." In the future, if there are such good goods, you can all sell them here. Oh, by the way, and the thorny old sprout you sold to my young master today, you can send as many of them as you want here. If you are in good condition, I will count you as thirty wen a catty, and a little less than twenty-five wen. ”

Mingji was dumbfounded again, and the two brothers Ming Dalang and Ming Erlang were just as dumbfounded as him.

Mingyue covered her face - the father and son were actually stunned collectively, and there was no one who could respond to the old shopkeeper in time.

In desperation, Mingyue had no choice but to stretch out her foot and kick the lobby brother Ming Xu who was standing in front of her.

Ming Xu came back to his senses coldly, and made a promise to the old shopkeeper in a busy voice, "Don't worry, we will definitely send it." ”

The old shopkeeper nodded with a smile, and then called the bookkeeper to come over and count the money for the Ming family.

The bookkeeper of Jufu Restaurant is surnamed Zhou Minghu, and he is the brother of Mingyue's third aunt Zhou.

The second elder of the Zhou family is only his only son, he works as a bookkeeper in the town, and the second elder of the Zhou family has given most of the family's fields to others for farming.

There are few people in the family, and there is a fixed salary of Zhou Hu, the account man, every month, so the life of the Zhou family is richer and easier than that of most families in the village.

Even the Ming family, which is still "wealthy" in the village, is also unable to compare the quality of life with the Zhou family because of the large population in the family.

The two groups of people greeted each other, and after a few words of greeting each other, Zhou Hu took out the abacus and began to crack and calculate the money for the Ming family.

"The two rabbits are a total of eight catties and eight taels, and the price is two hundred and twenty wen. The two baskets of yam totaled 187 catties, and the price was 1,496 wen. Together, the two items make a total of 1,716 texts. ”

Mingdi trusted Zhou Hu, who was both a cousin and a family member, and he said how much, Mingdi was convinced, but Mingyue, a little follower, quickly calculated it with Arabic numerals in his heart without saying a word.

"Cousin, do you want silver or copper?" Putting down the abacus, Zhou Hu specially asked Mingdi before going to get the money.

"Odd to copper coins." Mingdi said this, Mingyue thought it was a thousand copper coins for silver, and the remaining seven hundred and sixteen wen took copper coins, until Zhou Hu took the money, Mingyue realized that her uncle's so-called fraction was actually the sixteen yuan!

What is this enough for? She also wants to buy some snacks for a few friends at home!

"Uncle, let's go buy something delicious!" When Mingdi collected the money, said goodbye to Zhou Hu and Chen Bai, and walked out of Jufu Restaurant with the three children, Mingyue immediately couldn't wait to pull the sleeve of his uncle.

Mingdi has always been very spoiled by his second brother's only daughter, if he had changed a few naughty boys in his family, he would have slapped him earlier, and he would have scolded him with a black face, "Why are you so greedy!" ”

But after changing Mingyue, Mingdi said to her with a very kind expression, "What do you want to eat?" Uncle bought it for you. ”

"Really eccentric!!" Erlang, who has witnessed how partial his father is to Mingyue countless times, once again did not hold back the sour water in his heart, and he complained to his eldest brother quietly and resentfully.

Da Lang has long been accustomed to the special status of his sister in the family, and besides, he is the same as his own father, and he has always been quite spoiled by this lone seedling of the second uncle's family.

He comforted Erlang, "Mingyue doesn't eat alone." You should be glad that the elders in the family love her, so that a few of you can follow suit. ”

Erlang thought about it, he was about to get to Mingyue's side and ask her to help order a meat-stuffed bun that he liked to eat, but Mingyue had already generously mentioned it to Mingdi.

"Uncle, you're so nice!" Mingyue slapped a rainbow fart first, "I want to buy some candy cubes, buy some meat buns, and then buy a pair of sewers." ”

Ming Di was stunned.

He later realized that his little niece... It seems to have become as greedy as his stinky boys. She wasn't like that before.

Mingyue also knew that she had changed a little bit compared to the little original master, but she had already thought about how to cover it up.

She pretended to be casual, and crossed her fingers and said to Ming: "You have to buy a few more meat buns, and we have a lot of family, so we have to get one each." I plan to keep the candy cubes for the second brother and them, if it weren't for their help, I wouldn't have been able to get back this lot of yams, and I wouldn't have been able to catch rabbits or pick up thorny sprouts. Then our family wouldn't be able to earn all this money today. ”

Mingdi looked relieved - his little niece has become greedy, which is obviously better for the family. She said so much that it was not just a small amount that could end up in her mouth.

And when he thought about it, he felt that what his niece said was indeed very reasonable. If it weren't for these leather boys in the family, a little girl in Guangming Yue, she really wouldn't have been able to do such a big thing.

Mingdi, who had given a few sons, little nephews and Yu Jiayan a credit for each, suddenly became very talkative, and he waved his hand, "Nacheng, then let's buy ten yuan of sugar cubes, a pair of water, and then buy some big buns with white flour and pork stuffing for the family." ”

Ming Erlang immediately cheered, but Ming Ji rarely didn't teach his son anything.

"Why did you buy this old thing?" When the four of them returned home with large bags and small bags, Mrs. Ming couldn't help but be startled.

"It's a lot of money if it doesn't sell." Mingdi said while honestly reporting to his mother-in-law, "That basket of thorny old sprouts was sold to Young Master Jiang of Jufu Restaurant, and they gave me five taels of silver." ”

Mrs. Ming gasped, "Why is this so old?" ”

"They gave it to me according to the price in the county, and they said they wanted to buy our basket. I, the eldest person, was embarrassed to take advantage of a child, so I gave him a basket of yams. ”

When Ming Di said this, Mrs. Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It should be." I can't let the family of Young Master Jiang think that our Ming family is not kind. If you get into trouble with your brother-in-law or your cousin, it's a big deal. ”

Mingyue knew that her grandmother would definitely say this, not only her grandmother, but also her father, her father, her third uncle, and all the old men of their Ming family would definitely say this.

This is also why she didn't rush forward and stop his uncle from sending yams to that little young master Jiang.
