Chapter 79: Come, Let's Farm Together (Pearl)
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
After Pan Xia took half a basket of river mussels and a fish away, Wang Guxiang was still distracted when she saw her son doing something, and people couldn't help but start worrying, this wouldn't really be a trip to hit the evil spirit.
Jiuwu suddenly jumped up and pecked Zhang Lecheng, and after a snort, Jiuwu's behavior made him completely sober up all of a sudden.
Originally, I was startled and even more worried when I heard him shout Wang Guxiang, but when I saw that my son seemed to be back to normal, I couldn't help but wonder.
Seeing his mother looking at him strangely, with a hint of worry, Zhang Lecheng's face couldn't help but turn red again.
After thinking about it, he took out the pearl from his arms and put it in his mother's hand and said, "Mother, I went out with my cousin to touch the river mussel, and my cousin opened the river mussel and found that there was this in it, and my cousin said it was a pearl." ”
Looking at the white pearls in the palm of his hand, Wang Guxiang was also a little in a trance.
How can you go out and bring back pearls?
She has not touched the river mussel since she was a child, but she has never touched a pearl.
And the pearl in her hand is the size of a soybean, even if it is sold cheaply, it will cost a few taels of silver, no wonder she feels that her son's mind does not belong, that is, she has a little faster heartbeat.
If she followed them to touch the mussels, maybe there would be a few more?
If that's the case, wouldn't it be better than anything else!
But it was just a moment to have this thought, and after a while, I came back to my senses and knew that it was already a great luck to have such one, and it would be a bit wishful thinking to want more.
"This was dug up by your sister, why didn't you give it to her, but you took it yourself?"
Zhang Lecheng heard his mother say this, afraid that his mother would misunderstand him and forcibly occupy his cousin's things, so he hurriedly explained: "No, I touched it, and then my cousin said that what I touched belonged to me." She touches hers. Her one is much better looking than mine, and it's much bigger. ”
"Really?"
"Mother, can I still lie to you?"
Wang Guxiang nodded and put away the pearl and said, "Go to the kitchen and light the fire, my mother will wash the fish you touched." ”
Looking at the small basket full of river mussels, Wang Guxiang always couldn't help but wonder if there would be pearls in them, but reason told her that this probability was really one in ten thousand.
"Auntie, why are you in a trance like your cousin for a while, is there something wrong?" When Shi Liu came out of the main house, he saw that their mother and son were both in a trance, so he asked.
Wang Guxiang said embarrassedly when she heard the question: "Look at my age, I will lose my mind for a pearl." ”
"Pearls? Cousin's small one? Shi Liu didn't know the value of the pearl here, so he thought that maybe this aunt knew, so he asked, "Does my aunt know how much my cousin's pearl is worth?" ”
"That one is already the size of a soybean, and it is round and smooth, and it can be worth four or five taels of silver."
Hearing this, Shi Liu felt incredible, is this pearl so expensive? She was actually still very confused about the conversion of silver coins.
Then he touched it from his bosom, took out a pink pearl twice the size of the white pearl and asked, "Then auntie, how much do you think this one is worth?" ”
Pink pearls?!
Even Wang Guxiang, who is no longer illiterate, has to say that this is extremely difficult to encounter.
"I can't say this well, hundreds of taels should be fine. Xiao Zhen, you better hurry up and put it away. My heart is beating so hard......" Wang Guxiang said, clutching his chest in disbelief.
It was already a surprise to be able to have a pearl of four or five taels of silver on this trip, and it turned out that there was an even bigger "surprise" waiting for her here.
For a while, she felt that her heart was a little unbearable.
Shi Liu hurriedly helped her sit down on a stool under the eaves, it seems that the pearls that Jiuwu found for her are really worth a lot of money, so isn't the house problem solved, and buying land is not a problem? !
Support!
All at once.
You just need to sell it, otherwise it's really worthless to put it in your own hands.
"Auntie, then tomorrow we will go to the county town together to sell pearls, won't we have money to spend."
Hearing her say this, Zhang Lecheng also looked at his mother with great anticipation.
Wang Guxiang covered his chest with one hand, waved with the other, and said, "You let me slow down first." The two of you prepare the dishes first. I'll do it later. ”
"Auntie, no, I'll just come. You have a good rest. Saying that, Shi Liu said to Zhang Lecheng again, "My cousin has burned a fire for me." ”
There was still bone broth in the pot, Shi Liu smelled it, made sure it was not broken, added some water, washed the mussels, and put them in.
When the soup was boiling, I grabbed a handful of chopped wild garlic sprouts and perilla and put it in.
The two small ones in the kitchen are doing well, and Wang Guxiang outside is still a little incompetent.
The family is going to have money all of a sudden?
Although the money belongs to her niece, her niece's life is also what she hopes in her heart, at least she doesn't have to worry too much about her being cold and hungry when she goes back.
To say that she has no idea in her heart is really self-defeating.
How do you make a snail?
How are you going to eat it?
Seeing this snail in a daze, Shi Liu asked Jiuwu, "What should I do with this snail?" Luckily, these ones are quite big. ”
Jiuwu gurgled and said: Either take it out after boiling it and smash the shell to wash it, and then stir-fry.
Zhang Lecheng thought he was asking him, and hurriedly said: "I won't do this, or call my mother to do it." ”
"Huh? No, no, I thought about it. You help me bring the small wooden bowl, hey, the wooden bowl or something has already been delivered, then you can bring the big bowl again. ”
Isn't it just now? How do you know what to do in a while?
Although Zhang Lecheng was puzzled, he only thought that his cousin was smart, so he didn't think much about it.
Wang Guxiang thought for a while that if she took her son and niece to sell pearls, looking at their poor and sour family, she was afraid that the price would be lowered, and maybe she would be sold cheaply.
If someone takes advantage of her for nothing, wouldn't this be cutting flesh on her?
Shi Liu doesn't have this kind of idea at all, as long as he can make progress every month, he can grow up to seventeen years old safely, and wait for the original father to come back, he will be done, and he can retire.
Hey, I suddenly found that I knew so many idioms, alas, will I soon be able to stand alone in the world? Ahahahaha......
The two of them made dinner and found that Wang Guxiang was still in a daze, and they didn't know what she was thinking, and their expressions changed after a while.
Shi Liu and Zhang Lecheng worked hard to carry the table inside to the outside yard, and after putting the food on the table, Zhang Lecheng ran to call his mother: "Mother, the meal is ready, you can eat." ”
