Chapter 174: Door-to-door proposal

"The second sister is worried about repaying debts."

"Yes? Big sister". The second sister nodded.

"These second sisters don't have to worry? At present, after selling fifteen small winter melons, our family has earned four taels of silver and five hanging money, and there are winter melons in the greenhouse one after another, plus there are 100 catties of vegetables today, Xiangmanlou has not yet settled for our family, and the eldest sister estimates that these vegetables can also earn a few taels of silver.

After that, there will be vegetables picked in the greenhouse one after another, deducting the cost and the like, the eldest sister estimates that we can earn twenty taels of silver to thirty taels of silver in one winter.

As for the money owed to our master and Zhang's shopkeeper, it will be two years later, or three years at most, and our family will be able to repay their money, besides, every day, the eldest sister looks at the fifth brother and the seventh brother going back and forth to the next village and town to study, and it takes too much foot travel on the road.

Three, second sister, the eldest sister told you the truth, the eldest sister took advantage of the price of dry land to drop a lot, the eldest sister has asked Uncle Wang to buy another eight acres of land for our family, our family plus the previous four acres, now there are twelve acres of land, although our family has Uncle Zhou and their help, but there is also a lot of land, I am afraid that the time will not be busy, the matter of buying an ox cart is bound to be put on the agenda."

"Well, it's all up to the eldest sister." At first, when the second sister heard her eldest sister say that she had bought another eight acres of land, the second sister looked up at her eldest sister in surprise.

The second sister's heart is turning, and she already has a plan in her heart, and the winter melon in the greenhouse will be taken care of by herself in the future, after all, a small winter melon can buy three hundred copper plates, which is more profitable than other dishes.

Three days later, Zhang Xin sent the money that was sold to Xiangmanlou vegetables a few days ago, and Xiangmanlou launched this batch of vegetables that could not be eaten in winter.

Scarcity is expensive, and the Liu family does not supply many vegetables, in order to whet the appetite of the guests, the Liu family sent these vegetables need to be booked to be able to eat.

The shopkeeper Zhang also took advantage of this to raise the price, and gave the Liu family all kinds of vegetables except winter melons, forty copper plates per catty, and the vegetables sent by the Liu family this time had the appearance of one hundred catties, and forty copper plates per catty, then there was an income of four taels of silver.

Sold fifteen winter melons before, there were four or two, plus some that were saved before, and the third sister cooked melon seeds with the Wang family and the Huzi family, and after more than a month, they earned one tael of silver and five hanging money, and the Liu family had already saved eleven taels of silver and another hanging money.

In addition to the silver that Zhang Xin gave to the Liu family this time, Liu Yiyu did not let him go back empty-handed, eggplant, water spinach, and beans have grown into some, and some of them were picked and sent back to Zhang Xin.

As for the two things, cabbage and oilseed lettuce, after picking a batch, they need to be sown again and then grown before they can be harvested.

In addition, three small winter melons also grew up and were taken away by Zhang Xin.

Before leaving, the three small winter melons were sold for nine yuan, and the vegetables also looked like thirty catties, and they were sold for one or two pieces of silver and two dollars, and they were sold for two taels of silver and another for another money.

After deducting the silver money that costs one tael of silver to buy charcoal every month, the Liu family earned nine taels of silver by relying on greenhouse vegetables.

After Liu Li and the Liu family knew that the vegetables in the greenhouse could be sold for so much silver, Liu Zhang and the Liu family sisters and brothers diligently drilled into the greenhouse every day, fertilized, watered and loosened the soil, and were very busy.

As for Liu Yiyu, after seeing that the vegetables in the greenhouse could be sold for so much silver, Liu Yiyu also planned in his heart to return the borrowed money this year, buy an ox cart, and then save the extra silver money first, so as to prepare for the seventh brother tomorrow to hand over the bundle and use it for other purposes.

The days soon came to the day of filial piety of the Liu family's sisters and brothers.

On this day, Liu Zhang's miraculously came to the spirit, and he was able to sit up.

Liu Yiyu looked at Liu Zhang's like this, smiled and cried, Liu Zhang's is obviously a return to the light, I don't know how many days Liu Zhang's can last? .

On this day, the Liu family cleaned the bright hall, and this day happened to be the day when the school was closed and the fifth brother was on vacation, and the Liu family sat in the hall one by one after breakfast.

Today, the second sister and the third sister are wearing newly sewn muslin jackets, with beaded flowers on their heads, and a little rouge gouache on their faces.

After a while, the golden matchmaker in the village walked in with an embroidered handkerchief and walked in to the Liu family, and said to the Liu Li family, "Sister of the Liu family, congratulations to your family, the tiger of the Xiaoying family has taken a fancy to the third sister of your family, and asked me to propose to their tiger son?" ”。

"It's ......". Earlier, Liu Yiyu told Liu Li that after his sister and brother were out of the filial piety period, they were afraid that someone would come to the door and propose marriage to the second and third sisters, and Liu Li understood in his heart.

pretended to hesitate on his face, and agreed in one breath, others thought that he was eager to marry his daughter, and others thought that his daughter couldn't get married? .

"The sister of the Liu family, the tiger son of the Xiaoying family is honest and honest, diligent and diligent, although the head of the family is lame, the tiger is filial, and he is the burden of the family, taking care of the old and young in the family, and the head of the family is a good hand at doing work, the third sister of the Liu family is married to the eldest sister-in-law, and the third sister of the Liu family will be in charge of the family in the future?" After looking at the hesitation and hesitation on Liu Li's face, Jin Matchmaker thought that after Liu Li disagreed, Jin Matchmaker hurriedly praised Huzi's goodness.

The golden matchmaker is a matchmaker, saying that the matchmaker is successful, and the man will seal a letter to the golden matchmaker, and the golden matchmaker naturally hopes that this pro-person will say it, and she boasts about the barrage that the tiger doesn't want.

After saying that Huzi is good, he said that Zhou Xiaoying, Huzi's younger brothers and sisters are good, and said vigorously.

"Aunt Jin, you've been talking about it for so long, and you're thirsty, drink saliva first." Liu Yiyu saw that Mrs. Jin had just finished speaking, and handed a cup of tea to Mrs. Jin.

After taking the tea handed over by Liu Yiyu, she raised her head and drank the tea directly, and then asked Liu Li, "Sister of the Liu family, you see if this marriage is successful, give me a letter, let's go back and reply no."

"Third sister, what do you think".

"The daughter is all up to her mother and eldest sister." The third sister looked at the big grin in the past, and blushed in front of her life's events, and after saying this, she ran to the backyard.
