"I'm really going to plant two or three more times." Mingyue had already greeted the rest of the Ming family in advance, so as soon as the old shopkeeper asked, Mingdi immediately told the truth.

The old shopkeeper touched his white beard, "If you plant at this time, you should be able to send another batch over before the year, right?" ”

"Well, we plan to harvest another crop and send it to your old man on the twenty-second and third days of the lunar month."

The old shopkeeper bowed slightly, "Then I will leave someone here to collect the food at that time." If the condition is still so good, I can add another article to the price. ”

Everyone was overjoyed.

If you add one penny to one catty, then they will be able to get hundreds of more wen next time. With these hundreds of texts, the elderly and children in the family can tear a piece of new cloth to make a New Year's dress to wear.

For the industrious and simple farmers, this is enough to make them happy for a long time.

***

After thanking the old shopkeeper repeatedly, Mingdi and the others left Jufu Restaurant together.

As soon as they came out of the back door of the restaurant, the old men of the Wang family, the Xie family, the Tao family, and the Zhou family began to thank them without saying anything.

Mingdi is an honest man, and being praised and thanked by several elders is more tiring for him than carrying wood for a day.

He was embarrassed to put his hands and feet down, and just scratched his head and said, "Yes, you are too polite."

Mingyue looked at it as if it was not a problem, she rolled her eyes, and then squeezed into the crowd and whispered to Old Man Tao, "Grandpa, your wealth is not exposed." ”

With that, she glanced meaningfully at the pedestrians who came and went around her.

Only then did several old men realize that they had almost written the big words "I made money, come and steal me" on the door of their heads, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

Mingyue took the opportunity to pull her uncle out of the crowd, "Grandpa, uncle, uncle (Mrs. Ming's brother), cousin, Grandpa Xie (Xie's father), Uncle Xie, Grandpa Zhou (Zhou's father), Aunt Zhou, aunt, aunt, Grandma Chen (Chen Bai's mother), sister-in-law, it's cold, you should also hurry home." ”

Thinking of the hot and heavy silver ingots in their arms, everyone suddenly felt that what Mingyue said was very reasonable, so after a messy goodbye, only Mingyue, Mingdi, Huang Dashan and Minghe's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in front of Jufu Restaurant.

Huang Dashan is because he wants to pull Mingyue and return to the village in Mingdi, and Minghe's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are because Mingdi opens his mouth to keep people.

Mingdi was worried that it would not be safe for the two of them to go home alone with Yinliang, so he planned to let Huang Dashan take a detour and send Mrs. Chen and Minghe back to their house first.

A group of five people got on the mule cart, and Huang Dashan drove the mule cart to Minghe's house - in the past, the Ming family always hired his mule cart to send firewood, festival gifts and other things to the Chen family, so Huang Dashan was very familiar with the road to Minghe's house.

When the mule cart arrived at Chen's house, Mrs. Chen entertained Mingdi and the three of them to have lunch at her house, while Minghe went to the house next door to pick up her six-year-old son.

Mingdi politely rejected Mrs. Chen - the Chen family only has Mrs. Chen, Chen Bai, Minghe, Minghe and Chen Bai's only son, these four people, and now Chen Bai is not at home, Mingdi can't let Mrs. Chen and Minghe come forward to entertain him and Huang Dashan, the two big men.

He drank a cup of brown sugar water with Huang Dashan at Chen's house, and then played with his six-year-old nephew for a while, and then took Mingyue and Huang Dashan back to Wulitun together.

"How? What did the old shopkeeper say? As soon as Mingdi and Mingyue entered the house, Mingcheng, Mingtang and others immediately gathered in the main landlord's house of the Ming family, and Mingtang couldn't wait to inquire about the details.

"Say let's send another batch a year ago." Ming Di only said this, and the juniors of the Ming family were already cheering, and Old Man Ming and others also smiled.

"The old shopkeeper also said that if the quality can be as good as this time, he will make the decision on the price and add another article to us." As he spoke, Mingdi took out the silver money he had sold this time, "This is the money for the dishes given by Jufu Restaurant this time, a total of fifteen taels of silver and eight strings of money." There is still a fraction of sixty-two Wen, and I bought a pound of plate oil, two pounds of pork belly, a pair of pigs for the family, and I also bought a bag of sugar cubes for the children. ”

"My uncle also bought a pack of trough cakes, which was for grandpa, grandma and Xiaoxue." Mingyue smiled and put the paper bag she was carrying on the kang table, "So, part of the copper that the milk gave us before was also used by me and my uncle." ”

Mrs. Ming's happy eyes and eyebrows were full of laugh lines, but her mouth was still unintentionally muttering, "It's too expensive, with that money, how good it would be for you to buy more candy cubes for the children." ”

Mingyue smiled and helped Mingdi to relieve the siege, "Milk, then let's make dumplings at noon." ”

She doesn't like to eat fatty meat, so she bought meat at home, and she would suggest making dumplings nine times out of ten, and Mrs. Ming basically followed her every time, even if she didn't follow it occasionally, it was because Mrs. Ming wanted to change her tricks and make a bun, pie or something.

Mingyue doesn't have any opinion on this - she just wants to turn the pork belly into meat filling, as for the dumpling filling, bun filling or cake filling, Mingyue said that she doesn't pick at all.

"Then make dumplings, and then slip a liver tip and stew a cabbage." As soon as Mrs. Ming made the final decision, the women began to wash the vegetables, cut the meat, and mix the noodles, while the men gathered around Ming and asked the others how much silver they were selling.

Mingdi answered them one by one, but he didn't remember them very clearly, so he could only give an answer about how much silver he had, and he didn't remember anything about it.

Mingyue listened to the adults while thinking about what she would do next.

As long as it doesn't snow, the matter of picking rabbits and pheasants in Xishan and Nanshan every day will definitely continue, after all, this business has now become his family's main source of money.

These two mountains, mainly the West Mountain, have brought the Ming family a rich income of more than 20 taels of silver in the past month or so, which is a huge income that even Mingyue has worked so hard to toss out of season greens.

So as long as the snow doesn't cover the mountain, Mingyue will never give up this income.

In addition to going up the mountain twice a day, she also continues to grow out-of-season greens with her family.

With these two incomes, plus her family's plan to sell a pig and ten live rabbits in the near future, her family's savings will reach at least one hundred taels before the year.

If God eats all the time and there is a few snowfalls, then she can at least make the family's savings reach 110 taels.

With so much money, if she didn't spend some money to go out, Mingyue felt that her heart was itchy.

She whispered to Mrs. Ming to bite her ear, "Milk, did my father say when our family will buy big livestock?" ”
