Chapter 29: Envy and Jealousy
Liniang and Erlang were shocked by the price Du Yi asked for, and they couldn't say a word for a long time. Le-Wen only saw Du Yi's mouth open and closed, and his tongue was like a spring.
"If you're cheaper, I'll buy it. That's it, five pennies a pound. ”
The woman was also moved, not to mention the effect of eating, but smelling the fragrance of grapes, she couldn't help but speak. Thinking that his wife and old lady both like fruits, he bought these back and won the favor of his master, and the reward would definitely not be less.
"It's not that I don't want to sell it, it's just that the grapes are worth the price. Doe smiled and didn't agree. Erlang and Liniang around him were in a hurry. This grape is much more expensive than that dish, and it doesn't cost anything, so it's picked from the mountain, and the price is completely worth it.
"That's it, Liuwen, no more. The woman thought for a moment, and quoted a price, as if she had been greatly bargained by Doy.
The people around also want to buy it, they all live in this town, and this purple fruit is also a rare thing for them. It's good to buy some and go back and taste it.
It's just that at this time, everyone is looking at the people in front of them to bargain, if it can be lower, they can also save some silver.
"Bawen, even if the family can't get by, it can't be lower. If you can't sell it today, that's fine. At that time, I can make my own wine, and I will drink it every night to beautify my skin. ”
Doe looked at the women around him, and spread the news that grapes could be made into wine, so that the time would be free to make wine, and to pave the way for the future.
When the people around heard this, they looked at Du Yi's fair and beautiful face, and they were even more impatient. Is it really as she said, that it has such an effect? The woman beside her is different from her.
Not to mention her appearance in the countryside, even in this town, I am afraid that there is no one who can compare with it.
The woman looked at it and looked like she was going to be married, so she didn't know if she was married. Ask another day, if not, it is a good match with your own children.
But looking at the girl's clothes, and then looking at the clothes of the sister-in-law next to her, I think this girl is also a favored person at home. Even if the family can't get by, it must not be bad, and the clothes are at least a tael or two pieces of silver.
"Cheng, eight words are eight words, you sell all these to me. You weigh it, and send it to the Song Mansion for me in a while. Little bud, you take them over. ”
The woman saw that the price could not be lowered, so she wanted to give it up, but for the sake of rewarding the silver, she still gritted her teeth and decided to buy it.
The people around were dumbfounded when they saw this. The feelings of this Song Mansion are going to be bought, so what should they do?
"Wait, I'll get a pound first. ”
"I want half a pound. ”
Du Yi and the others had already weighed it when they came, and this basket of grapes weighed fifty-two pounds. But I still weighed it again in front of me, and said how heavy my back basket was, and how much was left after deduction.
When Du Yi heard the words of the people around him, he just smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I made a deal with this lady first." If she agrees, then buy some with you. ”
The woman in front of her was very satisfied with Du Yi's attitude, glanced around, and nodded to Du Yi: "You sell it, it can't exceed ten catties at most." ”
After hearing this, the people around felt more and more rare. In less than a quarter of an hour, ten catties were sold, and the rest was settled with the woman in front of him, and under the leadership of that little bud, he sent it to the Song Mansion.
Erlang and Liniang were still fluttering at this time, no one thought that the purple fruit could be sold and sold at such a high price.
Those who didn't buy it shook their heads and felt regretful. Maybe they can be as white as the girl after eating it. Because of his regrets, he began to have illusions about the wine that Doe said. I wondered, I didn't know where to buy it, when I would be able to buy it.
It can be said that Dui has a good grasp of the mentality of people. Especially to capture the heart of a woman's love of beauty. Use yourself to advertise to arouse the desire of others to buy.
The three of them sent their things to the side door of the Song Mansion, emptied the back basket, and left. Li Niang felt her palms hot. The more than 400 yuan seemed to be a pie in the sky, which made her completely unbelievable.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, let's go and sell the medicinal herbs now!" Lingzhi was left at home for peach blossoms, and all kinds of herbs were dried at home, and after processing, they should be able to buy some silver.
Jiro and his wife can now fully express their worship of Duyi. Thinking that the herb could earn a little silver, his steps suddenly became lighter and lighter.
"Baohetang is good, let's go there!" Because Peach Blossom's health is not good, the people of the Liu family have not had much contact with pharmacies, so they are relatively familiar with the pharmacies in the town.
After the three of them came out of Baohetang, they had more than 200 more than 200 wen in their hands. Du Yi thought to himself, in fact, the biggest silver is the Ganoderma lucidum, even a small flower of it, it is worth a lot of silver.
However, seeing the happy expressions of Erlang and his wife, he didn't want to say the price of the Ganoderma lucidum. After all, Peach Blossom's body is more important than anything else. Just let them never know, the province's distress. If there is something in the future, I will bring it up and talk about it.
Today, I have earned more than 700 yuan, and before Du Yi could speak, Li Niang said: "Yiyi, you earned all this silver." When I get home, I'll give you the money, and now let's go buy the urn." ”
Although Li Niang was very excited, she also understood that the silver was earned by Du Yi. I didn't think about it at all, but I made up my mind that when I got back, I would go to the mountains to pick grapes, and then go back to the town to sell and save some silver.
Paradoxically, Doe wants to make wine from grapes. That's whether it's the first thing to brew wine, or the first thing to sell to save some silver. My mother-in-law's household registration has always been there, and it hasn't been transferred.
"Cheng, but sister-in-law, when you go back, buy some meat or something, you all need to make up for it. Xiaohuzi is still young, so he can't lose it. After you finish buying things, give me half of the remaining silver, and you can keep half of it, sister-in-law, and there are many places where you need to use silver at home. ”
Because of Duyi's words, Liniang decided to go to the mountains to pick grapes and make wine for Duyi. She saw that Doe was a generous person, and she hoped that this family could really rely on her. In the future, their own little tigers and others will also be able to enjoy happiness.
Erlang bought a large and a small urn and spent more than 100 yuan. I bought some vegetable seeds, bought more than 10 catties of fat, and spent more than 200 yuan, and then I went home satisfied.
Although the money is very distressing, Yiyi said that making money is for spending. Wait a few days and then sell the herbs. Slowly save some money, and when the time comes, you and the villagers will buy the mangosteen tree.
The couple was distressed, but when it came to Xiaohuzi and their future visions, they nodded and agreed. When he returned, Doe glanced at the clothes on the couple's bodies, and then took them to the cloth shop. It's not so cold right now, so the cotton shouldn't be so expensive, after all, it's all old cotton from last year, so why not take the opportunity to buy some back.
The family buys some cloth and sells it for money, and when they come back to pick some herbs, they make wine and sell it.
When Erlang and his wife heard that Du Yi wanted to buy cloth and cotton for their sake, they disagreed. said that he had enough clothes to wear, and there was no need to spend that unjust money.
Du Yi, who couldn't resist the couple, had no choice but to give up.
Outside the gate of Crescent Town, there were already many people sitting on the ox cart in Liujia Village. When they saw what Erlang and his wife bought, they were all envious.
"Sister Liniang, your family must have spent a lot of money on so many things, right?"
The ox cart slowly walked towards Liujia Village, and the woman sitting in the big urn began to listen again. Erlang's family, who originally shouted that they had no money, seemed to have everything overnight.
The taxes and all the other were paid in silver, and so many things were bought. Maybe it's because the man named Doe has the money and gave it to them, right?
Then Liu said that there was no money, so there was a medicine jar girl in the end. Now this Du Yi looks at the clothes that he wears, they are worth a lot of silver, and he thinks he has brought a lot of them.
Then the Liu family is really good at calculating, so they said, it is good to recognize a daughter who is about to be married as a goddaughter, it turns out that there is this benefit. It's a pity that she has already been married, otherwise if she marries into her own family, wouldn't her money be her own?
The hearts of the people in Liujia Village had already turned around, and at this time, they looked at Du Yi's gaze, as if they were looking at a gold ingot, extremely hot.
Li Niang was inconvenient to answer this question, so she just smiled.
When the people of Liujia Village saw that Liniang didn't speak, their minds turned even more. Even if I sold the rice, I guess I wouldn't be willing to spend so much money on these things that I didn't need at all.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Du Yi paid for these things. Looking at so much meat, it is enough to eat for a year, and my heart is more and more envious and jealous.
"I said Li Niang, your family is really lucky enough to be able to recognize Yiyi as a sister. ”
When Li Niang heard this, she didn't think much about it, and nodded directly: "Yes, this is the fate that my mother said, Yi Yi and my mother have a fate!"
"Your family is having a better time now, and you don't have to worry about taxes and taxes. You don't have to worry about not being full, and you can still eat meat. If our family could do the same, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"
After Du Yi got into the ox cart, he closed his eyes, leaned on Liniang's shoulder, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Hearing this, I sneered in my heart.
"There will always be a day, such as Mother, your family is so hardworking, God will have an eye-opening day. Li Niang's tone was very cautious, as if she was taking an oath.
"But now it's almost winter, and even food and clothing are a problem. After a year of hard work and taxes, the family has less than 30 catties of food left. This is a year's worth of chewing, and that person's Ding tax, Li Niang, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to put it at home, lend me some silver. ”
