"Don't worry, I said that there will be work to do, you go home and wait in peace!" Looking at the eight families who were a little anxious, Lu Ziqing assured again.

"Won't it really be more than five days?" The villager asked again.

"I can promise that within five days, we will definitely work for everyone!" Although Lu Ziqing didn't want to say it anymore, she had to reassure the villagers about their worries.

The eight families who were guaranteed again asked again

"Then when there is work to do, Sanya niece, how can we know?"

Lu Ziqing: "When the time comes, I will let my brothers go to your house to inform you!" ”

The eight families who had no meaning left after saying hello to Mrs. Lu left!

As soon as the villagers left, Li, who was drying knotweed, looked at Lu Ziqing and said

"Ziqing, why do we all don't know about this ox tongue grass?"

Well, Lu Ziqing is really annoyed by this Li family, so she is a little angry

"Third aunt, you have had a lot of problems since you knew that I bought knotweed from the people in the village, how can I have time to tell you this?"

"Mother, this ox tongue grass is a price that the three of us negotiated on the road, so you don't have to worry about Qing'er making her own decisions!" Lu Zixiao was also a little displeased.

"Didn't I just ask?" Li snorted.

"Third daughter-in-law, just shut up, Qing'er and Yun'er have their own proportions, since the old wife and I let them do business, I will definitely let them make their own decisions." The old lady Lu, who helped to dry the knotweed together, looked at Li and reprimanded.

was trained by Mrs. Lu for a while, and Li obediently shut up.

Just after the hour, seeing that the Liu family and the Li family were cutting and drying the knotweed, Lu Ziqing looked at Lu Ziyun and Lu Zixi

"Eldest sister, let's go change our clothes, Xi'er, you go to the cowshed and call the second brother, and tell him that he is going to town!"

Lu Ziyun and Lu Zixi responded in unison

"Good"

……

Looking at Lu Ziyun and Lu Ziqing, who were dressed in men's clothes, Liu praised him

"Yo, our family Yun'er and Ziqing, this is really handsome in men's clothes!"

"Sister-in-law, don't say it, this Yun'er and Qing'er changed into men's clothes, they are really handsome!" Li also echoed Liu's words.

Girls, they all like to be praised, even if the soul is already in their twenties Lu Ziqing, after hearing the words of Liu and Li, she and Lu Ziyun said happily at the same time

"Really? Auntie, third aunt? ”

"Really? Mother, third aunt? ”

"Of course, you can go and take care of it!" Liu quipped.

Uh, it's really not good to be poor in this family, it's a luxury to look in the mirror, Lu Ziqing complained in her heart.

The old lady Lu who took the silver from the upper room also praised

"Our family Yun'er and Qing'er are already good-looking, even if they change into men's clothes, they are also handsome!"

"You know that Sister Exaggerated and Qing'er, am I not handsome? I'm a real boy in my family, too! Lu Zixiao, who put on the ox cart, drove the ox cart out a little depressed.

Mrs. Lu: "Jun, it's all handsome!" ”

When Mrs. Lu's words fell, both the Liu family and the Li family laughed.

Looking at Lu Ziyun, who was ridiculed by the adults, the three of them were embarrassed.

Looking at the three grandchildren who were blushing a little, Mrs. Lu took out ten taels of broken silver and told Lu Ziqing

"Qing'er, you four go to town and be careful!"

"Got it, grandma!" Lu Ziqing took the silver and replied respectfully.

After the four sisters and brothers got into the ox cart, they said goodbye to Mrs. Lu

"Grandma, mother (aunt) and third aunt (mother), let's go to town!"

"Go ahead!" Old Lady Lu waved at the four of them.

Looking at the backs of the four grandchildren leaving, Mrs. Lu said in her heart, "I hope that Yun'er and Qing'er will succeed in doing business this time, so that the Lu family will have hope in the future!" ’

……

Lingxiang Township

Because they came to exchange silver, they were not in the market in the afternoon, so when the four of them arrived at the bank, it was already before the time of Shen (that is: it was almost 17 o'clock. ）

When exchanging silver, because the money had to be deducted, Lu Ziqing only exchanged five taels of silver, of which four taels were exchanged for one tael of silver, and one tael was exchanged for copper coins, so according to the rules of the money bank, the silver coin in his hand was forty coins and 950 copper coins.

When they got out of the money village and got into the ox cart, Lu Ziyun and Lu Zixiao asked in unison

"Ziqing, didn't grandma give us ten taels of silver? Why did you exchange five taels? ”

Lu Ziqing first asked Lu Zixiao to drive the ox cart to the iron shop, and then she smiled and explained

"Eldest sister, second brother, Xi'er, how many knotweed do you think these ten families can dig in a day?"

Lu Ziyun thought for a long time before saying, "According to the calculation of one person a day of one hundred catties, if all the people in each of these ten households dig up, the knotweed for a day will be about ten thousand catties!"

However, of these ten families, some are big families, and some are only five or six people, and it is impossible for all the people in the family to dig, so the knotweed on this day should be less than 10,000 catties! ”

Because she had already arrived at the door of the iron shop, for Lu Ziyun's analysis, Lu Ziqing gave her a satisfied smile, then asked Lu Zixiao to stop, and she got out of the car and entered the iron shop.

After coming out again, the guy from the iron shop took ten firewood knives and put them on the ox cart, Lu Ziqing climbed into the ox cart and asked Lu Zixiao to rush home, and then she said to Lu Ziyun

"Eldest sister, what do you think, these five taels of silver can buy 10,000 catties, and these ten families will start digging this afternoon, so we only need to buy today's and tomorrow morning's silver.

As for the knotweed tomorrow afternoon, we will come to sell today's knotweed tomorrow afternoon, and by the way, we will give him the medicinal herb book of the cloud shopkeeper, so that the silver money for the evening, we will pay with the silver money from selling knotweed, isn't it? ”

"Yes, then we can sell it again the day after tomorrow, and then we will pay with the money from selling knotweed." Lu Ziqing's words fell, and Lu Zixiao drew inferences.

Lu Ziqing nodded with satisfaction

"Yes!"

"Zixiao, Ziqing, don't forget, there are unforeseen circumstances on this day, what if it rains?" Lu Ziyun said suddenly.

Regarding Lu Ziyun's precautionary words, Lu Ziqing gave her a satisfied smile again

"Eldest sister, don't worry, if the heavens are not beautiful, I still have a back-up move, in short, it is impossible to make the knotweed pile up!"

Lu Ziyun: "Aftermath?" ”

Lu Ziqing: "Yes, in addition to using the sun, this medicinal material can also be dried in the shade, but this shade drying is relatively too troublesome and too slow!" ”

Seeing what Lu Ziqing said, Lu Ziyun was finally relieved, so she asked another question

"Ziqing, you have arranged for people to dig this knotweed and plantain, what do you plan to do with the eight households in the back? Is it for them to dig up another herb? ”

Regarding Lu Ziyun's question, Lu Ziqing really asked inscrutablely

"Eldest sister, do you know why I only have thirty households?"

Lu Ziyun shook her head and said, "I don't know, and we don't have thirty households now, now there are only twenty-eight households, oh, by the way, there are two more families, who are you going to find?" ”

Lu Ziqing did not explain the previous question, but answered Lu Ziyun's later question

"Eldest sister, we were indeed going to find thirty families to help dig medicinal herbs, yes, but now there are only twenty-eight people who have signed up, so I plan to only use these twenty-eight households in the future, of course, if there are shoddy people among these twenty-eight households, I will not use them."
