"But the little master Jiang didn't let us suffer." Mingdi sighed and told Jufu Restaurant about the high price of their hares and yams.

“... At first, I really believed the old shopkeeper's statement, but the cousin of the Zhou family later secretly told me that their restaurant accepted other people's hares, and the life was only 21 yuan a catty, which was 4 yuan lower than the price given to our family. The same is true of the yam, in the autumn of previous years, we dug up the yam and sold it in the town, who would be willing to charge us a high price of eight cents a catty? And people also said that just that thorny old bud, we will collect as many people as we have in the future. If you are in good condition, you will count us as thirty wen a catty, and a little less than twenty-five wen. “

Mrs. Ming couldn't help but gasp again, "This old man!" ”

"Yes, I guess they should want to ship it to the county seat to sell. It's just that they gave our family this high price, and it is estimated that they won't make a lot of money when they ship it to the county seat. As he spoke, Mingdi took out the silver ingots, two small pieces of loose silver, and some copper plates in his arms to his mother, "This is five taels of silver given by Young Master Jiang, and these two pieces of broken silver are worth 1,700 yuan, which are obtained from selling hares and yams." Originally, there were sixteen copper plates, so I spent them. ”

"Didn't you give me fifty wen before I went out, I bought a pair of pigs for 11 wen, two packs of sugar cubes for 10 wen, and then 20 meat buns for 40 wen. So there are only five copper plates left. ”

Mrs. Ming nodded to her eldest son, and at the same time hurriedly put the money into the cabinet and locked it, "I sold it for almost seven taels of silver at once, my God, the money came too quickly." ”

Ming Erlang had the heart to invite credit, "Milk, I picked the thorny old buds, I'm tall, and they can't reach them!" ”

Mrs. Ming couldn't help laughing, "Then today I will reward you for eating one more meat bun." ”

Ming Erlang jumped with joy, "Then I'll pick it today!" ”

"Done. Wait a minute, and let your father, your brother, your mother, and your two aunts go with you. Mrs. Ming touched the top of Erlang's hair, "Tomorrow this thorny old bud will be sold for money and come back, and the milk will give you braised meat to eat." ”

Ming Erlang immediately became anxious, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's hurry up the mountain! ”

Mrs. Ming couldn't help laughing, "Your mother and your two aunts are still in the field, so you have to call them home first." ”

Ming Erlang immediately jumped up from the edge of the kang, "Then I'll call them now." ”

"I'd better go, you're too high-profile." Mingyue grabbed Ming Erlang, who was about to rush out, "Do you want to draw the attention of everyone in the village to our house?" ”

Ming Erlang was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his face a few times, "I'll go, my legs are fast." Don't worry, I won't show others that something is wrong. ”

As he spoke, he took a few deep breaths to calm down.

Mrs. Ming looked relieved, "If someone asks you, you will say that your father bought eggplant seedlings from the town and came back." ”

Ming Erlang is a ghost and clever, Mrs. Ming said so, where else does he not understand.

With a loud "hey", Ming Jiro pulled out his feet and ran into his own field.

Mrs. Ming instructed Da Lang Ming Xu to run errands again, "San Lang, they have gone to the east of the village to play, you go and call them home." ”

Because Erlang, a half-grown child, was not at home, Mrs. Ming was worried that there were only a few little beans to go to Nanshan to dig wild vegetables, so San Lang, Shilang, and Golang dragged Yu Jiayan to the east of the village to find their friends to play.

After about a quarter of an hour, Da Lang and a few small ones made a noise and went into the courtyard.

Saburo, Shiro, and Goro were all curious about whether the things were sold, and of course, they were even more curious about whether the delicious ones were bought.

Mrs. Ming is a child who hurts, and as soon as a few little guys enter the yard, Mrs. Ming immediately fetched water for them to wash their hands.

After everyone washed it, Mrs. Ming began to give meat buns to the children.

San Lang, Shiro and Goro's eyes widened, and Yu Jiayan rarely showed a little greed.

Mrs. Ming was impartial and gave everyone in the family - including Mingdi, who is an adult, and Xiao Mingxue, who is still a glutinous rice dumpling, all of them have a big bun with white flour and pork filling.

After a while, Erlang and the three daughters-in-law of the Ming family also rushed back, and Mrs. Ming subcontracted her daughter-in-law and Erlang again.

The three daughters-in-law of the Ming family were all stunned - the meat buns in the town, they married themselves, and the number of times they ate them could be counted on one hand.

Zhou's is the most clever, and she immediately thought of the fact that they went to the town today, and she carried a few children and asked Mrs. Ming in a low voice, "Mother, what kind of thorny old bud, is someone really buying it?" ”

Mrs. Ming saw that the other two daughters-in-law were also looking at her with blazing eyes, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows couldn't help but show a deep sense of joy, "Your eldest brother sold all the thorny old buds to Young Master Jiang of Jufu Restaurant, and the old shopkeeper of the restaurant said, let us send them as much as we want in the future." ”

Zhou was overjoyed, "Oh, that's a good feeling!" ”

Because Saburo, Shiro, and Goro were all around, Mrs. Ming was afraid that the children would be young and not strict in their mouths, so she didn't tell her daughters-in-law how much money this thing sold.

As soon as she was so vague, the Xie family, the Tao family and the Zhou family had a preconceived idea that Mingdi was also the same as Mingyue's special back-the-pot man "Grandma", who sold the thorny old sprouts for eight cents a catty.

With this stubble, Mrs. Ming directly said that she would let a few daughters-in-law also go up the mountain to pick thorny old buds, "... You and Erlang only take care of it, and the boss and Dalang are responsible for carrying it down. ”

Eight dollars and a pound of golden and expensive wild vegetables, even if Mrs. Ming didn't say that she would let them pick them, Xie's, Tao's and Zhou's would not be ready to let go.

If they hadn't been afraid to work in the fields, they would have carried baskets up the mountain a long time ago.

Now that they have received the order of Mrs. Ming, the three of them immediately rubbed their hands, and they took their tools and were about to go up the mountain.

Mingdi, Mingxu and a group of little radish heads also followed each other, and the people of the Ming family quietly went out of the house and went straight to Nanshan.

In the evening, the old man Ming came back with Mingcheng and Mingtang, and Mrs. Ming called all her sons and daughters-in-law to her and the old man's room, and showed them the silver that Mingdi brought back today.

Old Man Ming and the others were surprised and delighted, and in addition to the surprise, Old Man Ming immediately thought of controlling the mouths of his family.

The old man has lived in Wulitun for so many years, and he has not been to Nanshan a thousand times and has been there at least eight hundred times, so he knows better than anyone in the family how many trees in Nanshan produce thorny old buds.

Just a little thing, if the whole village went to pick it, then their family could pick it was very limited, so he not only told his son and daughter-in-law to keep it a secret, but also called a few children over and told them carefully with a straight face.

The old man attached so much importance to it, so that the Xie family and the Zhou family, who originally wanted to talk to their mother's family, immediately stopped thinking - no matter how much they took care of their mother's family, they couldn't dig the corner of their mother-in-law's house for their mother-in-law's house when their father-in-law had already ordered it, otherwise how would they gain a foothold in their mother-in-law's family in the future?
