Chapter 73: It Should Have Been Expected

Shen An'an saw that the little boy who spoke was so tiger-headed that he still knew how to read, so he hurriedly walked over and touched his head and said, "What is your name, little friend, who taught you this word?" ”

"My name is Rarity, and my brother taught me that."

Shen Anan nodded, then pulled a candy out of his pocket and gave it to Rarity. "Rarity is awesome, this candy is my sister's reward for you today."

The children next to him are envious of this, and some of the older children even want to snatch the candy from Rarity's hand.

After Shen Anan saw it, he grabbed another handful of candy in his hand.

Seeing this, those children suddenly rushed forward with their eyes lit up, stretching out their hands to ask for the candy in Shen An'an's hand.

But Shen Anan raised his hand, and he didn't mean to give it to them.

Those children were hungry to death, and the parents of those children pulled their children back one by one, some of the children were lying on the ground and did not dare to leave, and some were still crying.

"Don't make a fuss, none of your children here have one, but what, is it okay for my sister to ask you to help me do something?"

At this time, when I heard Shen Anan say that there was candy to eat, those children suddenly stopped crying and didn't make trouble, one by one, like puppies, with big eyes and a look of anticipation.

And said in unison: "Okay! ”

It's a pity to see that these children are all the size of a small radish head, all of them are of school age, but they are all idle at home.

So she pointed to the words on the sign and said, "This word is receiving, this word is big, and this is yellow." Together, these three words are called rhubarb. Read it to me. ”

The children didn't know what it meant to collect rhubarb, but they knew that as long as they read it to Shen An'an, they would definitely have candy to eat, so they read it very seriously.

"Well, you're all doing well. Now you want to publicize it to everyone in this village, or in a nearby village, and say that our Shen family has started to collect a medicinal herb called rhubarb today, and people who don't understand it will come to the Shen family to ask. And then the sugar is yours. ”

Immediately, Shen Anan handed out the candy to the children.

The children immediately rushed up, and after snatching the candy, they were afraid that others would come and grab them, and some of them were immediately taken away by adults. Some of them stuffed the candy into their mouths on the spot.

The scene suddenly became a little chaotic, many people were puzzled, and many people heard that the Shen family had received something, and they immediately felt untrustworthy, and they all left one after another.

One or two bold ones asked aloud, "Sister An, may I ask what you are collecting here, how did you collect it?" ”

"This rhubarb is a kind of medicinal material, after you pick it, dry it and send it to us, and we can give you the price of one catty and five wen."

As he spoke, Shen Anan asked Shen Sanlang to hand everyone the fresh rhubarb left at home.

Everyone came up and took a look.

"Five cents a pound?" Hearing this price, some people's eyes widened, and some people felt that the Shen family might be cheating money. I looked at it, shook my head, and left.

"This is Huang Caogen, it can be sold for five cents a catty, it must be a liar."

The others, who couldn't make up their minds in their hearts, were told this, and suddenly felt that this matter was not very reliable, so they also followed.

Seeing this, Cao Shi hurriedly said: "Hey, folks, don't go, what my Nizi said is true." You have dug up the herbs, and we will pay the cash. ”

Hearing what the Cao family said, Shen Anan immediately pulled the Cao family, if they all took it, there would definitely not be so much cash. So in the beginning, don't fill your mouth with words.

But once the news of the rhubarb harvest was released, seeing that everyone reacted like this, Shen Anan was really surprised for a long time.

"Shouldn't they be happy about how they reacted this way?"

Of course, Du Chong also saw such a situation, he had been by Li Sheng's side, and he also knew a little about doing business, so he comforted Shen Anan and said: "Miss Shen, you don't have to be too anxious, these people don't know the mystery of this, once you let them make money, they don't think so." ”

Shen Anan is not in a hurry, anyway, even if the people in the village don't sell rhubarb to them. At most, she paid someone to dig it up.

Seeing that the excitement had passed, many people left. However, the topic about the Shen family is far from over, and the topic they discussed is not the new carriage added by the Shen family, or the matter that Shen Anan said he wanted to collect rhubarb.

Those people were actually very curious in their hearts, how the Shen family became rich in such a short period of time. None of them had the courage to be the first to eat crabs, but they all kept a close eye on the movements of the Shen family's courtyard.

"Alright, everyone's gone, let's put the carriage away!" When Shen Anan closed the courtyard door, his eyes swept lightly, and he found several people who were looking this way with probes and brains.

Shen Anan just didn't see it.

Now they don't know what rhubarb is for, and when they do, it's estimated that they will all come in a flood. It's okay to do this, some people in the province have a crooked idea of playing rhubarb.

Because the carriage had to be placed in the yard, it was not possible to let the carriage get drenched in the rain, which made Shen Sanlang very brainy. Because of the Shen family's small courtyard, there are only a few in total. The east wing room is Shen Sanlang and Cao's family, with Brother Shan outside.

The west wing houses Shen An'an and Shen Anting, and next to the three main rooms is the kitchen, plus a small grass house stacked with sundries. With such a house structure, it is difficult enough to make room for a little space.

In the end, Shen Saburo was ready to tie the horse to the place where they often stacked their debris. The horses were settled, but the carriage had to be kept in the yard, and if both the carriage and the horses were to be placed in the house, one of the walls had to be torn down.

When Shen Anan bought a carriage, he only thought that it would be easier to travel with a carriage, but he didn't expect that he would encounter professional trouble today.

"Uncle Shen, don't be so troublesome. In fact, you only need to build a new shed in the corner of the yard and place it. ”

"I know how to get it." Shen Anan understood what Du Chong meant, that is, to build a canopy in the courtyard to put the carriage, if you are afraid of showering, you can put more wood and tiles on the roof. Immediately she said her thoughts, and Du Chong suddenly showed her appreciation.

"Miss Shen, you're really smart, just a little bit thorough."

"Du Gongzi, you are too polite, if you hadn't reminded me, how would I have thought of it." Du Chong listened to Shen An'an's praise, and his heart was also happy.

"I can't do it today, I have to get it tomorrow, but I don't know, will it rain tomorrow?" Shen Saburo looked at the weather with some concern.

Unexpectedly, Shen Anan didn't even think about it, and couldn't help but say without thinking: "Tomorrow should be good weather, Dad, you don't have to worry." ”

Seeing that Shen An'an said so firmly, Du Chong immediately felt curious, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Miss Shen will still look at the weather, how do you know that there will be no rain tomorrow?" ”
