Chapter 7: Let's Build a House
Qi Dali came back to his senses, but he didn't expect that after a while, the shopkeeper had already raised the price to one hundred and fifteen, and he believed that if he was bargaining, one hundred and seventy taels might be able to be sold, but Qi Dali was really not the one who bargained.
Immediately, he handed the ginseng out in his hand, "Okay, then one hundred and fifty taels!" ”
The shopkeeper took the ginseng happily, thinking that this countryman is really good at talking, this ginseng is worth three or five hundred taels, of course, it has to be concocted, but this fresh ginseng is also worth two or three hundred taels.
He felt that he must have made a meritorious service today, or had he made a great contribution!
The shopkeeper instructed the man to go to the account room to get the money and send it over, and while carefully putting away the ginseng, he asked, "What is this prince's surname?" It's not easy to catch this hundred-year-old ginseng! ”
In these days, ginseng is not something that ordinary people know, and many families have never even heard of it, let alone what it looks like in the soil.
"Well, it's really hard to catch." Qi nodded vigorously and loadedly.
This is, the guy came over with a tray, and slowly a plate of silver made Qi Dali, a person who has lived a good life since childhood, can't help but be a little nervous.
Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that back then, he might not even be able to look at the one hundred and ten taels of silver, but in just a few years, he has really become an authentic countryman.
Qi Dali took revenge and packed the silver taels, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and when he was about to go out, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Qi Xianggong, if you go up the mountain and pick any good medicinal materials, you can take them to our Deshan Hall to sell!" ”
Qi nodded vigorously, caught up with his board car, and didn't care about buying food, just hurried home.
At home, Tang Jinnian leaned on the head of the bed and looked at the ginseng slices in his hand in a daze, he has had countless major illnesses since he was a child, and he has eaten a lot of ginseng, if he is not mistaken, this ginseng in his hand is at least a hundred years old, and it is still fresh ginseng.
Yesterday, he saw the things that Shuning handed her father, and when he looked at it from a distance, it looked like ginseng.
This family is a bit interesting.
Listening to the movement outside, it was Qi Dali who came back.
Tang Jinnian craned his neck and looked out.
As soon as Qi Dali arrived home, he picked up Shuning and kissed him, which made Shuning, who had always been calm as water, blush, and then Qi Dali picked up Shuning and called Miao into the room.
The other two daughters also had to follow, but they were vigorously arranged by Qi to see Miao Zhexiu read and write.
"What's going on? What's so happy? Bought the money? How much? Twenty taels really? ”
Miao looked at his father-in-law's happy appearance and knew that he must have sold it for money.
Qi vigorously put Shuning on the bed, and then untied the burden on his body, Miao exclaimed, as if he was afraid of being discovered, and quickly covered his mouth.
"This, how much silver is that?"
"One hundred and fifty taels! Gui Zhen, let's build a new house! ”
Yesterday, Qi Dali was still thinking about buying more grain, and now it is not cold in autumn, but it is getting colder and colder in the future, and the family has no income, and the food is still prepared early.
But now it has become so much all of a sudden, which makes Qi Dali look at their thatched hut no matter how it looks unpleasant, even if he can't live in the four-entry courtyard he used to have, he can build a two-entry one!
"Build, build a house?"
To tell the truth, this really shocked Miao, the good life she fantasized about was worry-free, the children could eat enough, and the clothes were warm, it was really the happiest day she felt.
Now, can she build a house?
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Qi vigorously took the silver on the bed and covered it with the quilt, and went out with Miao.
Shuning saw that her father and mother had gone out, so she lifted the quilt with her little hand, took a piece of silver ingot, and put it in her hand to look at it carefully.
"Well, it's quite weighty, this is the silver ingot? In modern times, it's an antique! Hehe, it's amazing! ”
The four-year-old girl, holding a silver ingot, looked at it like this, and said such old-fashioned words, this picture is indescribably weird.
Outside, as soon as Qi Dali and his wife went out, they saw a lady standing at the door leading a child who was almost ten years old, and said with a smile on her face: "Excuse me, I'm behind your house, we are neighbors, I only found out that there are people living here yesterday, this is my boy, Xiaocheng call someone quickly!" ”
The boy standing in front of Mrs. Qi Dali looked at Qi Dali and his wife generously and said, "Hello uncle, good aunt!" ”
"Hey, hello Xiaocheng!" Miao likes it very much when she sees other people's sons, she has always wanted to give birth to a son, but she has three children, all of them are daughters, which makes her unable to let go.
"Sister-in-law, your son is so sensible and obedient! Come on, come inside! ”
"No, no, our family is also from another village, we live close, and we often move around in the future, this is my family's own vegetables, my land is still barren, take advantage of the autumn can also plant some autumn vegetables, but hurry up! Let's go back! My family's name is Liu Zhong, just call me sister-in-law Liu! ”
Sister-in-law Liu said, handed the vegetable basket in her hand to Miao's hand, and then prepared to go out with the child.
Miao said that he wouldn't let Sister-in-law Liu go, and hurriedly said, "Xianggong, there is a bun I made this morning in the kitchen, bring it quickly!" ”
You turned her head and said to Sister-in-law Liu: "Sister-in-law, it's not a valuable thing, and we really don't have white noodles at home, but you and your eldest brother try my craftsmanship, don't dislike it!" ”
This sister-in-law Liu is also a cheerful person, and immediately said: "Nacheng, then I'm not welcome!" Our neighbors come and go! ”
After saying that, Qi Dali took out the vegetable basket brought by Sister-in-law Liu, and there were a few buns wrapped in cloth in it, and happily sent Sister-in-law Liu out of the door.
Sending the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter to follow the younger uncle to learn to read and write, Qi Dali and Miao hurried back to the room.
Qi Shuning had already stuffed the silver ingot back, and sat quietly on the bed waiting for her father and mother to come in.
As soon as Qi Dali entered the house and looked at his little girl's well-behaved appearance, his heart was about to melt, and he quickly picked her up and kissed her.
"Gui Zhen, I said last night, Ning'er is the lucky star of our family, and our family's life will definitely get better and better! Now, first things first, let's build a house! I'll go find Lizheng to buy land later! ”
Miao looked at the white silver ingots on the bed, and still couldn't believe that this was true.
"Let's, can we really build a big house?"
"Of course! Let's invite a few more people to plant our land, Guizhen, believe me, life will get better and better! ”
Miao turned his head with tears in his eyes, and hugged Shuning in Qi Dali's arms, "I believe, Xianggong, I have always believed it!" ”
