Chapter Twenty-Five: The Astringent Fruit Turmoil

readx;? As winter approaches, the days get shorter. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info The sun has already begun to set. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the road, giving it a very quiet feeling. Before Ziluo had time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the countryside at dusk, she was pulled back to reality by Zishu's words.

"Let's hurry up, it'll be dark in a minute. Zishu said.

So, everyone began to hurry.

When I got back to the village, it was already dark. Before, Ziluo was worried about how the people in the village would analyze where the money came from when they saw them buying so many things, but it seems that there is no need for it now, because everyone will already go home to eat and sleep.

When they arrived at home, although everyone was tired, it was hard to hide their excitement today. After putting the things away, Ziwei and Zitao began to cook porridge and spread cakes. Zishu and Zixuan helped Ziluo and Xiaoliu feed the chicks, and after they were locked in the cage, they also helped to dispose of the pork and bones they bought today.

An hour later, they had finally finished eating and washing. Everyone gathered in the room of Ziluo and her three sisters. Ziwei saw that everyone was sitting on the pit, so she took out all the money she earned today by lighting the oil lamp.

"This is the money we make today, and it's all here, except for the purchases, so let's count how much it has. Ziwei said.

So, Zishu and Ziwei divided their labor and counted the silver.

"There are a hundred and three taels of silver and twenty pennies left. Zixuan said.

Although everyone knew how much silver there would be, when they saw so much silver again, they felt that they still couldn't react.

"Almost all of this money is earned by Ah Luo, I want to leave one hundred taels of silver for Ah Luo as a dowry in the future, do you think it's okay?" Zishu thought for a while.

Ziluo listened to the urge to sweat, how old is she! My eldest brother, isn't it really too early to think about her dowry so quickly? What's even more sweaty is that everyone thinks it's very reasonable.

At this time, Ziluo knew that she couldn't be silent anymore, in case Zishu and they really left the one hundred taels of silver to her as a dowry, and then they had no money to use again, it would be too thunderous. So he said: "Sister Peach Blossom, aren't they just preparing a dowry now? The eldest sister hasn't prepared a dowry yet, so I don't have to be so fast." Big brother, if you use this money to study and buy land now, we will be able to earn more money in the future, and then you will give me more money, wouldn't it be better? ”

Zishu thought about it and knew that it was the same thing, and now it was the time for the family to use the money, but he still wanted to leave some silver to Ah Luo, who knows what will happen in the future.

"Then we will leave fifty taels of silver for Ah Luo as a dowry in the future, and the other fifty taels of silver will be used for the current family. Zishu said.

"So be it. Arroco is a great contributor to our family. Ziwei said.

"Okay, the second brother will definitely earn more money for the eldest sister, Zitao and the younger sister as dowries in the future. Zixuan also seemed to have made up some kind of determination.

Ziluo thought that it would be good for Zishu that they could use the fifty taels of silver, which was better than leaving it all for her as a so-called dowry.

"Then let's break up. Tomorrow we will receive Uncle Zhou and them. Zishu said.

Speaking of the idea of a meeting, this was also put forward by Ziluo. Before, Ziluo saw that everyone loved to chat in the sisters' rooms after eating. So it is recommended that everyone come here for a small meeting after eating every day. Everyone can say what suggestions they have for their families, and let everyone discuss them together.

"Big brother, tomorrow Uncle Zhou will come to our house to pull persimmons away, if they can pull a lot of persimmons at once, we will find the village chief and ask him to tell everyone that you can sell persimmons." At this time, Ziluo said. Ziluo knew that although the big brothers and sisters didn't say it, she could also feel the heavy feelings of the big brothers and sisters from time to time for owing everyone favors. Now she wants to use this incident to repay the favor of the villagers, so that the eldest brother and sister will not think about these things anymore. Therefore, today she told Uncle Zhou about the method of processing persimmons for free, on the condition that he should give priority to buying persimmons from people in the village.

"No wonder Ah Luo, a little money fan, you will tell Uncle Zhou how to deal with persimmons for free, on the condition that he will give priority to buying persimmons from people in the village. Ah Luo, how did you come up with the idea of helping the people in the village?" Zi Xuan wondered how Ah Luo, a little thing, could understand so many things.

"Didn't the eldest brother say that we should repay those who helped us? The people in the village have helped us, especially in the aftermath of our mother's death, shouldn't we help them now that we have the ability? Ziluo said.

"Okay, Ah Luo is just thoughtful, then tomorrow after I ask Uncle Zhou, if he needs persimmons from the people in the village this time, I will go and tell the village chief. Zishu didn't expect Ziluo to think so thoughtfully, and after listening to Ziluo's words, Zishu couldn't help but be moved by the little sister's sensibility.

That night, Ziluo and her siblings slept well.

Early in the morning, Zishu and Zixuan went to the mountain early to check if there was any prey in the trap, so that they could go home early and wait for Uncle Zhou and them to come to the door. Today, they caught two more rabbits in the trap, and together with the two rabbits that were not sold yesterday, they have four rabbits in their family, but fortunately, these rabbits are still alive and can be kept with grass for the time being. Otherwise, they should now be worried about the sale of rabbits.

Before noon, Lao Zhou and his men drove three carriages to the entrance of the village. The arrival of these three carriages brought about no small amount of movement. Many people were curious about the origin of these three carriages.

"May I ask the fellow, how to get to Brother Shu'er's house?" Lao Zhou saw that there were people at the entrance of the village, so he stopped to ask for directions.

"Who are you from Brother Shu'er's family?'s is there anything to do with them?" Bolt Father saw that the person who came to ask Brother Shu'er's family, so he kept an eye on it, he was not financially able to help Brother Shu'er and them, but he couldn't lead the bad guys to Brother Shu'er's house, so he had to ask them what they were looking for Brother Shu'er for, if they were looking for Brother Shu'er to trouble them, he would definitely not give them directions.

"We made an appointment with Brother Shu to come to his house today to deliver the goods, where is their home?"

Seeing Lao Zhou, Bolt Daddy didn't look like they were looking for trouble with Brother Shu'er, but it seemed like they were looking for Brother Shu and them when they had something. So he said, "I'll take you there." He wanted him to go with him so that he could know what was going on, and if something was wrong, he could inform the village chief in time.

"Then there's Brother Lao. "Lao Zhou doesn't know the twists and turns in the plug daddy.

So, Lao Zhou took his bolted father to drive the carriage to Ziluo's house.

Unbeknownst to them, a sneaky figure was following them.

Aunt Pan went to her mother's house near the town this morning to visit relatives in Panjia Village, her mother's house. She heard the eldest brother say that yesterday they went to the town to catch the market and saw Brother Shu they were selling astringent fruits, I don't know what method they used to deal with those astringent fruits, making those astringent fruits very sweet and delicious, and many people bought them for five cents a catty.

When she heard the news, she couldn't sit still, and immediately rushed back to see what was going on. When she had just returned to the village, before she had time to inquire with the people in the village, she heard that there was a carriage entering the village, so she came out to take a look, just so that she heard that Lao Zhou and they were going to Brother Shu'er's house to transport goods, so she followed them all the way secretly. Now she didn't dare to follow Brother Shu'er's house, so when she saw Brother Shu'er come out to open the courtyard door, she hurriedly hid in the bamboo forest near Ziluo's house.

"There are a total of 1,700 catties of persimmons here, each catty is two and a half yuan, a total of 4,250 yuan, yesterday I gave a deposit of two taels of silver, and now I will give you another 2,250 yuan, do you see it?" After weighing the persimmons, Lao Zhou said to Zishu.

Zishu had already calculated it just now, and found that Uncle Zhou's calculation was exactly the same as his own calculation, so he said: "That's right, Uncle Zhou, do you still need to buy persimmons today? If you can, I'll go and inform everyone to pick persimmons." ”

Lao Zhou thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow." Today I have to rush to the county to open the door of this persimmon, so I don't have time to stay here and wait for you to pick persimmons. Tomorrow I will decide how many persimmons to receive based on the reaction of the people in the county to this persimmon, what do you think?"

"Okay, then tomorrow when you come, I'll inform the people in the village to pick persimmons. Now let's take the persimmon to the wagon. ”

"Okay, Xiao Chen, Xiao Mu, come and move the persimmons. ”

When all the persimmons were loaded into the car, Lao Zhou took out 2,250 yuan and said, "Here is 2,250 yuan, you see the number is right." ”

"Yes, thank you Uncle Zhou for this trip. Then we'll see you tomorrow. Zishu took the silver and counted it.

"To put it mildly, I haven't thanked you for telling me how to deal with this persimmon. When this persimmon really makes money, I will thank you again. Then I'm gone. I'll have to hurry in a while. ”

Until, the carriage disappeared in front of Ziluo's house. Daddy Plug, who had witnessed what had just happened, had not yet reacted.

"Brother Shu, did the person just now really sell your family's astringent fruit for two and a half pounds?" Bolt Daddy still couldn't believe that the astringent fruit that was usually rotten on the mountain and no one wanted it was now bought by someone for two and a half dollars a catty.

"Yes, we stumbled upon a way to sweeten the astringent fruits, and we told Uncle Zhou about the method, so he agreed to buy the astringent fruits in our village for two and a half dollars a catty. Zishu saw that his father asked, so he told him about the matter, but he omitted the part where Ziluo discovered this method, he didn't want everyone to focus too much on the little sister, Hui Ji will be hurt, he will definitely protect the little sister.

"Brother Shu'er, you mean that they are willing to buy the astringent fruits of our village for two and a half dollars a catty. Bolt Daddy asked excitedly after hearing this.

"Yes, but you heard that, too. Uncle Zhou, they will come tomorrow to buy the astringent fruits of the people in the village. Now we don't know how much fruit Uncle Zhou and they need, so I think we should not tell everyone for the time being, lest Uncle Zhou not need so many astringent fruits and make everyone happy in vain. Zishu said.

"That's, that's. You are very thoughtful. I won't tell you about it yet, but we'll let the others know when you decide on the number of acquisitions tomorrow. "The bolt father also thinks so, if you ask everyone to pick astringent fruits now, if people buy not much tomorrow, let everyone work hard for a day in vain, everyone will inevitably blame.

"Wu Niu, what did those people do with Brother Shu just now?" The father's surname is Gao, the fifth in the family, and his big name is Gao Wuniu. Aunt Pan just saw Lao Zhou and them moving a lot of baskets into the car from a distance just now, and she wasn't sure what was inside. She didn't hear what they were talking about, but she did see Lao Zhou handing money to Zishu and them. Now I saw Bolt Daddy passing by the bamboo forest where she was, so she came out and asked.

"It turned out to be Lin Ziniang!Why are you here?" Bolt Daddy, who was walking on the way home, was almost frightened by Aunt Pan who suddenly appeared out of the bamboo forest.

"You don't have to worry about this for now, let me ask you, what did the people do just now when they were looking for Brother Shu'er?"

"No。。。。。。 Nothing, just a little thing. I'll go home for dinner first. After saying that, the bolt father hurried home. He has never lied, and he is afraid that if Aunt Pan continues to ask, he will not be able to resist.

"There's really nothing to be nervous about. Those people must have come to buy their persimmons. Aunt Pan said to herself. According to what her mother's family said, combined with everything that had just happened, she was almost certain that the person just now had come to buy the astringent fruit of Brother Shu'er's family. Thinking of the big bag of copper coins that Brother Shu received just now, and then thinking of the astringent fruits on the mountain at home, she couldn't be calmer anymore.

So at noon, it was supposed to be lunch time, but there were more than a dozen villagers around the door of the village chief's house, and they were noisy.
