Chapter 657: A Broken Grass
Zhou Weihai held the grass in the small clay pot, no more than a palm, the three wide egg rows on the petiole were serrated and sharply pointed leaflets were sparsely pinnaled together, the flower stalk was drawn from the root, and there were two or three small flowers growing in clusters at the top, which looked plain. The villagers and flower admirers who were watching www.biquge.info Pavilion shook their heads, although they didn't know what it was, but they felt that this bush of grass was definitely not worth ten taels of silver, unless, they met the rich and conspicuous young master.
The hope in the eyes of Zhou Weihai, who was tired and bearded, slowly faded, he slept in the open for more than ten days, and he didn't get anything good, just this kind of grass looked quite pleasing to the eye and had never seen it, so he dug it out babyishly, and now when he saw a few knowledgeable people walking away, he knew that his thing was worthless.
"Zhou Lao Wu, I see that your grass can be sold for a hundred yuan, but ten taels of silver is not to think about it." Pi Xuan touched his chin and concluded, "If you don't believe me, you can take it to the city flower market tomorrow to try." β
Zhou Weihai also had a bad temper, and glared, "You don't know the goods and don't buy them, how do you know that no one buys them, don't delay my business by surrounding here!" Go, where it's cool, where to take it! β
Everyone laughed a few words and scattered in twos and threes, and the lonely Zhou Weihai stayed among the colorful flowers with a clay pot, waiting for the distinguished guests to come forward to inquire.
Lan Yi stopped her feet, others didn't know her, but she knew that this was a wild strawberry, she had been looking for it for a long time last year, but she didn't expect it to be found by Zhou Weihai.
However, even if you like it, this wild strawberry is really not worth ten taels of silver. Zhou Weihai's asking price was indeed high, and Lan Yi stepped forward and asked, "Fifth brother, where did you dig this seedling from?" β
When Zhou Weihai saw Lan Yi, he quickly put the clay pot on the ground and stood up, and wiped his hands on his body crampedly, "It's in the deep mountains, I brought it out when I saw it." Second sister-in-law, do you know each other? β
Lan Yi nodded and said in a low voice, "I look like a fruit called wild strawberry drawn in a book. β
"Wild fruitsβ" Zhou Weihai bowed his head in disappointment, wild fruits can be worth a few dollars. Hu Shi next to him didn't think so, opened his eyes and asked, "Second sister-in-law, is this wild fruit delicious?" Can it be sold for money? β
Lan Yi shook her head, "I haven't eaten it either, the book says it's edible, it's already blooming, and it must be about to bear fruit." β
Hu Shi's eyes rolled, "Second sister-in-law, aren't you good at these wild fruits, why don't you take this one back and raise it, and when it turns out, how about it taste, can it be made into fresh fruit or dried fruit." Sell others for ten taels of silver, we are a family, how can we charge you so expensive, cut it half, five taels, five taels and you will take it! β
Without waiting for Lan Yi to speak, Zhou Weihai glared first, "What are you talking about!" Go to the ground and catch insects, don't embarrass me with this man! β
Hu's neck shrank, she was really afraid that Zhou Weihai would stare at her, he would start beating people if he was in a hurry, in front of so many people being beaten, she would have no face to mix on the street, she didn't dare to hum anymore, she turned around and walked away like glaring at Lan Yi.
"Second sister-in-law, I also know that this thing is not valuable, just dig it out and try your luck, you can take it back and raise it." Zhou Weihai picked up the small clay pot and handed it to Lan Yi.
Although Lan Yi didn't like the Hu family, she didn't like Zhou Weihai's attitude towards his wife, and she didn't want to take his things for nothing to let the Hu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law say, so she said, "Fifth brother, although this thing is not bluegrass, I do like it, just like my brother and sister said, five taels of silver, I'll go back and send you the silver." β
"Second sister-in-law, don't, you're slapping me in the face, how can I take your money." Zhou Weihai resolutely refused.
Lan Yi thought about it, and was about to take the clay pot, Zhou Weihai didn't accept it, Hu Shi would definitely accept it, and it would be the same if it was handed over to her when the time came.
"How much is this grass, this girl wants it!" A haughty voice next to him remembered, "Go, bring it to me." β
Lan Yi heard the familiar voice, and turned her eyes to Zhou Weihai in a low voice, "Can you still find where to dig it, if you can find it, sell it to her." β
Zhou Weihai also said in a low voice, "Remember, there are still several trees at home, second sister-in-law, I'll do her business first, and I'll send it to you later." β
"Okay." Lan Yi was relieved, "Look at me." β
Lan Yi turned around and said with a displeased face, "Xia He, everything has to be said to come first and come first, this flower has already belonged to me, you buy it." β
Xia He, the arrogant and brainless fifth girl in the third room of the Xia family, didn't take a fancy to this grass at all, but she saw that Lan Yi wanted to buy it, and she couldn't get along with her, "This girl didn't see you giving money, she just didn't buy it!" Hey, the grass seller, you're deaf, didn't you hear me ask, how much does it cost, this girl bought it! β
Zhou Weihai's eyebrows jumped, but seeing Xia He's decent dress, he didn't dare to scold, and said angrily, "Ten taels!" β
When Xia He heard this, he jumped to his feet, pointed to the clay pot and shouted, "What, ten taels of silver?" I think you're really poor and crazy, and you dare to sell it for ten taels of silver even if you have this broken grass? β
Lan Yi smiled sarcastically at her, "Xia He, don't slap your swollen face and become fat if you don't have money." Fifth brother, I like this flower, you keep it for me, and I'll go back and get the money. β
Xia He was provoked by her, where is there still reason, "It's just ten taels of silver, who can't afford it!" Hey, grass seller, bring it to me! β
Zhou Weihai was shouted by her twice, and his temper also came up, he was short of money, but he was also a man, no matter how poor he was, he didn't want to be so angry, "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it if you fall!" Where to stay cool, and then call the master to slap you! β
"You...... Not for sale? Xia He pointed at Zhou Weihai angrily, and there was a little happiness in her heart, she was a merchant girl after all, and she still had a little brain, ten taels of silver was enough for her to buy a good-looking spring shirt, why bother to spend it on a broken grass, but this face still had to be done, especially in front of Lan Yi, "Hehe, you don't want to sell, this girl still wants to buy it!" It's only ten taels of silver, and when you send it to call Huazi, do good deeds! Get him the money! β
A mother-in-law who followed beside him opened her purse, took out a handful of silver horns, and proudly lifted her chin and handed it to Zhou Weihai.
Zhou Weihai snorted, and followed Lan Yi without looking. Lan Yi looked up to him a little, nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Xia He disdainfully, raised his feet and left.
Xia He instantly exploded, and the lily hairpin made of small pearls on his head trembled, "Twenty taels!" β
Zhou Weihai's footsteps didn't stop.
"Thirty taels!"
Zhou Wei's people looked at Xia He and felt that her head was kicked by a donkey!
"Fifty taels!" Xia He's brain is congested, and he thinks that only by smashing them with money can he earn back face.
Zhou Weihai still didn't stop, and others looked at him with a little more admiration.
"One hundred taels!" Xia He roared, and he felt a little enjoyable, anyway, this is called Hanako and it is not for sale!
Lan Yi suddenly stopped, turned back to Zhou Weihai and said sincerely, "Fifth brother, I think the five girls of the Xia family are really rare this grass, and they are willing to pay a hundred taels of silver." The gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, I don't want it, you better sell it to her, otherwise what if she raises the price? (To be continued.) )
