Chapter Twenty-Eight: Cao Sanlang Sells Expensive Lotus Root
Is the kid gone?
Just like his silent appearance at the beginning, did he leave silently?
The child who was obviously educated, had read, but was not sour and rancid, and had a certain knowledge of agriculture, for Lindsay Yu, was like a straw suddenly grasped by a drowning person, so that her lonely and panicked heart could be comforted for a moment, and now it is lost, right?
"Your mother beat you again?" A voice fell from the sky and directly smashed Lindsay Yu, who was sitting on the ground with tears streaming down his face, because it was too sudden, it hit Liu Xiaohu's jaw, causing him to fall backwards in pain, but fortunately, Liu Niangzi happened to approach and held him up in time.
"You stupid flower!" Liu Xiaohu was so hurt that tears were about to flow out, and he almost bit off his tongue.
Lin Saiyu because of the rapid change in mood, the already stunned face looked even more demented, basically the face that was washed every two days was outlined by the vertical and horizontal tears, Liu Xiaohu, who was crying out in pain, laughed when he saw her like this, and then frowned again, stepped forward and said: "This time the fight is bad?" How do you cry like this? But where did it break? Show me...... ”
Lindsay's frightened rabbit jumped back, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said in a crying voice, "Where have you been?" ”
Liu Xiaohu sighed, raised the cloth bag in his hand and said: "Mr. is sick and can't come to class, I went to the city with my mother to live for half a month to make up for my homework... Why are you being beaten again? Are you naughty again? That's 。。。。。。。。 ”
Before he finished his words, Lin Saiyu had already run away, Liu Xiaohu had to scratch his head, turned around and looked at Liu Niangzi who was walking towards the yard and said, "Mother, Xiaohua, don't beat Xiaohua stupidly, right?" ”
Liu Niangzi smiled, looked at Lin Saiyu's figure running away, sighed, and said, "Erlang, this kid is worried about us." ”
Liu Xiaohu suddenly smiled, with an indifferent face, "What a stupid flower, a few gossips and a few cold faces, it's not like we haven't seen each other, as for crying like this... As she spoke, her heart was a little sour, and she slowly clamped the cloth bag and walked into the house, Liu Niangzi had already rolled up her sleeves, ready to clean the dusty house, bowed her head and said: "This child is a sincere child." ”
The sun set into the distant mountains, accompanied by the last ray of light on the ground, the candle flame of the size of gas beans in the Liu family's house, and the sound of the fire crackling under the stove, and in a short time, the curling green smoke rose, and the fragrance of the most simple and simple food diffused in the village merged in the sky.
Lin Saiyu looked at the lotus root in the ground for a long time, washed her face with river water, touched it with her hand and still felt that her eyelids were swollen and swollen, and she couldn't help but beat it on the ground a few times angrily, and she didn't know why she felt ashamed, Cao Saburo came over after eating, beckoned Lindsay Yu to go home for dinner, and sat on the green weeds on the spot, humming a small tune with satisfaction, Lin Saiyu said that the lotus root would be harvested in the next few days, and he was more and more careful to guard it for fear of being ruined.
"Dad, why are you so happy?" Lin Saiyu glanced at Cao Sanlang a little strangely, this sullen man, he said no more than ten words a day, and the heavy burden of life was about to crush his back, Lin Saiyu was still the first time to hear him sing, this rustic man can also sing?
Cao Saburo seemed to notice the gaffe, coughed and didn't reply, just urged her to go back, Lindsay Yu didn't understand it or ask for a solution, and found a pinch of wild vegetables in the field before it came to the point and went home.
There is no money to light the lamp at home, the yard is dark, the golden egg is kneeling in front of the stone and the piglet is snoring and eating, and the dregs of the soup are scattered all over the ground, Lu Shi hugged Cao Sanjie to breastfeed, and when he saw Lin Saiyu coming back, he said with a smile: "The rice is still hot, hurry up and eat." Scared that Lindsay's hairs stood on end, abnormal is a demon, this sentence is extremely effective on the Lu family.
After half a month, Lixia arrived, Lindsay Yu's lotus root field removed the shed, surrounded by an arrow-like wheat field, it was particularly special, people had changed into single clothes, and it was common to be shirtless when working, Lindsay Yu once again reviewed the lotus root field, and decided to collect it after Xiaoman, think about coming in this era, there has never been a lotus root so early on the market, right? Lindsay seemed to have seen a large basket of money poured in front of her, and grinned.
Although Cheng'an County is a small city with a small population, but because it is located in the north-south traffic artery, it also has a different prosperity from the general small city, and there are two high-grade restaurants, which are located in the south and north of the city.
Cuifeng Building in the north of the city is praised for the shopkeeper's secret wine, and Shengkui Building in the south of the city has endured for a long time because of a good dish.
The shopkeeper of Cuifeng Building is surnamed Wu, born with a fat body and a round waist, full of wealth, these days I got the news, the new county order is about to take office, the squire's dust-washing banquet is bound to win, but he is worried about the dishes without characteristics, and he can't compete for the chef of the Sheng Kui Building.
Cao Saburo carried a basket in front of the restaurant to probe his brain, at this time there were not many people who had eaten, only a few guys on the first floor were cleaning up the tables and chairs, seeing Cao Saburo's shabby appearance, only to collect swill, all waved his hand and said: "That man goes to the back door, where can I come to the front door!" ”
Cao Saburo was even more embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to lift his feet and leave, but he was unwilling, so he had to say boldly: "Little brother, say a word of mercy, do you want a good lotus root in the house?" ”
Hearing this, the little guys looked at each other, and then burst into laughter, and one of them pointed out: "Where did you get madness!" ”
Cao Saburo hurriedly opened his basket and said: "It's not nonsense, it's not nonsense, little brother can take a look first, it's all fresh and just dug up." ”
The original laughter of the guys in the restaurant stopped abruptly after seeing Cao Sanlang's basket, and became dumbfounded, most of them had only heard of this object, but they had never seen it, and then looked at Cao Saburo's appearance hesitantly, you look at me, I look at you, one of them ran upstairs and shouted loudly to the shopkeeper.
After a while, I heard a vague scolding, accompanied by the scolding, a fat figure paced down from the stairs, and the shopkeeper Wu was calculating how much money he would have to lose if he went to Tokyo to buy, and when he was in pain, the man's shouting made him extremely irritable, and he was about to kick him down when he raised his foot.
"The shopkeeper, there is a person who said that he sells lotus roots." The shopkeeper Wu's eyes widened in surprise by the man's words, first of all, the rare object of lotus root rarely appears in his small city, and besides, now is not the time for lotus root to go on the market? Looking at Cao Sanlang's appearance again, Shopkeeper Wu had to conclude that this person was a madman, but when a basket of earthy green lotus root appeared in front of him, Shopkeeper Wu felt like a madman.
"How is this possible? Where are you from? Shopkeeper Wu almost sat on the ground and asked in surprise.
Cao Saburo looked at this rich and noble man with a shiny face, and almost buried his head in his clothes, Nuo Nuo said: "I planted it at home, it's very fresh, and I just harvested the first frame." ”
Grow your own? Shopkeeper Wu almost couldn't believe his ears, when will Cheng'an be able to plant lotus roots? But at present, he can't care about studying this, this basket of lotus root is his savior, with this, he can definitely step Sheng Kuilou under his feet, busy recovering the demeanor of a businessman, and said slowly: "How much money do you want to buy?" Do you want to Bo? ”
Cao Saburo was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, don't sell it, ask for it, a basket of twenty, a total of five yuan." ”
As soon as these words came out, almost no one in the room made a sound, five money! That's a tael of gold! With Cao Saburo like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to earn a gold or two in my life!
"You man, but you're joking?" Shopkeeper Wu stroked his chest and said with a forced smile.
Cao Saburo didn't have to look at everyone's appearance to lose his confidence, he had no confidence in the first place, he said earlier, this thing is precious, why is it worth so much money? The eldest girl in her own family is stupid, she is so stupid that she has to ask the little brother of the Liu family to come with her, so how much money is sold can't be hidden? It's really a child's home, is there any bargaining for this self-buying and selling? According to what she said, if she insists on not selling it, won't this basket of lotus root be folded in her hand? and they should not eat.
After thinking about it like this, he said a little timidly: "How much does the shopkeeper give?" After speaking, he added with insufficient confidence, "There are only so many, if you miss it, it will be gone." ”
Shopkeeper Wu pressed the heartbeat of the puff, and was about to say the consistent money, but after hearing Cao Sanlang's supplement, he gritted his teeth and said, "Three times the money, if you have more money, you can try it elsewhere." While looking at Cao Sanlang cautiously, as long as he had the intention of leaving, he would immediately rise to Siguan, but he saw Cao Sanlang raise his head happily, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, great good man, it's with you." ”
Shopkeeper Wu's nervous breath almost didn't ease, almost gaffe to the counter, trembling handed the three pieces of money to Cao Sanlang, who was also trembling, until they saw Cao Sanlang running away, and the group was still standing in the store dumbfounded, looking at the basket of fresh lotus roots in front of them in disbelief.
"It's not a dream, is it?" Shopkeeper Wu opened his mouth and bit his arm, he snorted in pain, tears almost flowed out, developed, Cuifeng Lou is developed this time!
At the same time, Lin Saiyu of Shifang Village also bit on her hand, of course, she was not willing to exert herself, she was almost angry, from Cao Sanlang's refusal to buy lotus root in person, let alone the request to let Liu Xiaohu follow, she knew that the lotus root would definitely be sold cheaply, she was a full three days of calculation, before she figured out how much the lotus root should be sold, which is equivalent to only five or six hundred and one baskets, which is a little expensive, but it is rare to be expensive, besides, a famous restaurant can definitely afford this price.
"Dad, didn't I say I wouldn't make a bargain!" Lin Saiyu complained and looked at Cao Saburo, who was sitting at the head of the bed, smiling.
Cao Saburo looked at the money in front of him again and again, he ran all the way home, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he collapsed, if it wasn't for Lu's scoop of cold water on his face, he still felt that he just had a dream, a dream he often had, in the dream he was also running and running with the money, endlessly.
Lu Shi suppressed his heartbeat, and only quieted down after changing the money to ten storage places, and forgot to breastfeed when he hugged Cao Sanjie, but he was in a daze, laughing twice from time to time.
"You know what!" Cao Saburo snorted and ignored Lindsay.
Lin Saiyu sighed, but Lu suddenly said, "The eldest sister still has two baskets!" She was so frightened that she jumped up and shouted, "Mother, that's going to be returned to Second Master Li!" It's not worth the money if I sell it! ”
The Lu family naturally knew that although he was greedy for money, he didn't dare to compete with the rich Second Master Li, glared at Lin Saiyu, and said, "Don't tell the little brother of the Liu family when you go out!" If he came to the door and asked for money, he said that he only received two baskets! Take a little breath and watch your skin carefully. ”
Lin Saiyu pursed her lips, and she really believed it! Leaving this and thinking of something more important, taking advantage of the good mood of the Lu family, he hurriedly rubbed his hands and said, "Dad, can you use that money to buy some rice seeds?" Sell some more land, and we'll have more 。。。。。 ”
Lu Shi glared at her and said, "You don't care about this, let's get married after the summer." ”
Get married? Lin Saiyu opened her mouth and looked at Lu, "Who to marry?" ”
