Chapter 7: Send it over first
Not only does she want to earn enough money for this military service, but she also wants to prepare a few taels of silver for another family, the autumn harvest is about to begin, and if she has no money, how can she buy meat?
"It's good to be able to earn enough money for military service." Ye Aya'er's uncle, Ye Changlin said helplessly.
If it weren't for the niece and nephew who thought of such a way to make money, they could only watch their children go to war, and they were too late to be grateful, so how could they have other ideas?
"Anyway, it's better to prepare more, in case there is an emergency?" Ye Aya'er shook her head and said.
Old Mrs. Ye nodded approvingly: "Aya'er is right, let's look for it again, and make more money if you can, so that you can have an emergency." ”
"Okay, let's go up the mountain and pick some fruit, we'll pick it back tomorrow, and after we pick it back, we'll look around."
"That's it, we sold 700 wen today, I bought some meat and came back, and we all ate it tonight, uncle, don't go back to work." Ye Aya'er looked at Ye Changlin's family and said.
"Okay, we'll be cheeky and wait for dinner." Ye Changlin said happily.
Ye Aya'er went to the kitchen with Zhou Cuiyun, Zhou Cuiyun watched her daughter start cooking neatly, with a smile on her face: "Seeing you like this, my mother thinks that you have changed into a different person." ”
The movements in Ye Aya'er's hand paused, her eyes flickered slightly, isn't it just a different person?
"Mother, I've died once, if you're still as shy as before, then you won't be bullied to death in the future?" Ye Aya'er said angrily.
Zhou Cuiyun shook her head funny, but after thinking about it carefully, what her daughter said is also that people can't bully people, but they can't let people bully them in vain.
The mother and daughter quickly cooked the meal, and the two families sat together and began to eat, regardless of you and me, and discussed the rest of the matter during the meal.
The next day, Zhou Cuiyun and the two of them, plus Ye Shuang'er and Ye Kun and his wife were preparing to extract oil at home, and the rest of the people went to pick camellia fruits, and the main purpose of Ye Aya'er was to find camellia trees.
After entering the mountain, Ye Aya'er talked to Ye Haoxuan, who was picking fruits, and began to look around, looking for a morning, Ye Aya'er found a camellia tree about two or three hundred meters away from them picking camellia fruits, which was full of fruits, and those fruits should add up to nearly 100 catties of oil.
One hundred catties of oil can also be sold for seven taels of silver, plus the previous family can still get four or five taels, although Ye Aya'er is not very satisfied with this, she is also content.
Ye Aya'er remembered the way, so she went back to find Ye Haoxuan and them, when she passed, the camellia fruits on the three trees had been almost picked, and the rest still looked unripe: "Brother, there is another one over there, and the fruit of that tree is better than these." ”
"Really? Then we'll send these back and pick them up again. Ye Haoxuan said happily.
The Ye Changsheng brothers were also very excited, so that in addition to the money for military service, they could still have some leftover.
"Let's go deliver the fruit, and you and Aya'er will pick it." Ye Changlin opened his mouth and said.
Looking up at the sky, Ye Aya'er wiped the sweat on her face: "Uncle, let's go back together, it's noon now, it's time to go home for dinner, and the fruit can be picked later." ”
Ye Changlin looked up at the sky, and then said with a smile: "That's okay, Aya'er didn't say that I forgot it, let's go, let's send it back together, and come back after dinner." ”
"Okay."
When the group went back, the meal had already been prepared, and the camellia seeds that had been processed before had been squeezed into oil one after another, looking at the oil, Ye Aya'er had a smile on her face.
"Have you picked it all back?" Ye Kun looked at his two sons.
"I've picked the one I found before, and Aya'er found another one in the morning, so we'll pick it again this afternoon, or tomorrow morning." Ye Changsheng shook his head and said.
Ye Kun nodded to indicate that he understood, and looked at the fruits: "Since this is the case, let's get the fruits together today, and when you go to pick the fruits tomorrow, we will go to squeeze the oil again, so that there will be no delay." ”
Ye Aya'er agreed with Ye Kun's statement very much, and it was more efficient to do so.
After eating, the two families began to process the fruits, and it was not until the evening that they were all ready, and looking at the fruits that were spread out to dry, the family was satisfied.
After dinner in the evening, the two families sat in the courtyard to enjoy the shade: "By the way, grandpa, when the conscription is over, is it time for the autumn harvest?" Will we be together then? ”
Ye Kunen sighed: "It's two families together, wasn't it like this in the past?" It's fast. ”
Ye Aya'er didn't speak, but she also knew that it was indeed much faster for the two families to receive together than for the family to receive alone.
Later, the camellia tree that Ye Aya'er found had more fruits than before, and Ye Haoxuan picked them twice before they picked all the fruits, and at this moment there was already a lot of oil at home.
When everyone cleaned up the fruits they picked back, Ye Aya'er looked at the oil in the big jar at home: "Grandpa, let's send this oil over first, right?" Otherwise, you will get too much together, and you won't be able to take it all at once. ”
"Okay, tomorrow I will go to your Uncle Lang to borrow an ox cart, and you and Haoxuan will send it over when the time comes." Ye Kun said approvingly.
There is so much oil in the house, and he is worried that if he accidentally knocks him down, he will be in trouble.
After discussing, the next day, Ye Aya'er's brother and sister borrowed Ye Dalang's ox cart, and with his help, they sent the things to Zhuyunju.
When the two of them passed, Xiao Liluo happened to be there, looking at the jar on the ox cart, Xiao Liluo walked over casually: "It's all here?" ”
"There are some that will probably be delivered the next morning." Ye Aya'er shook her head, there are still a lot of camellia seeds at home, and she must be able to squeeze a lot of oil.
"Since there are still any, then I'll wait for you for two more days and move in and weigh it." Xiao Liluo instructed the shopkeeper on the side.
In the end, the weight was more than three hundred and sixty catties, which surprised Ye Aya'er very much.
More than 360 catties, a total of more than 25 taels and 200 Wen, as for 200 Wen, Ye Aya'er erased it, after all, this extra-large jar also weighs a lot.
Xiao Liluo handed the money to Ye Aya'er from the shopkeeper: "The money is for you, and there are good things that can be sent directly here in the future, and I will tell him here that the shopkeeper is here." ”
Ye Aya'er's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are fruits and vegetables okay?" ”
Xiao Liluo nodded: "Yes, but it depends on whether your fruits and vegetables are good or not." "If something is not good, it is his signboard that is smashed, so naturally you can't be sloppy.
