Looking at the hens in the big bamboo baskets behind the little brother, Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction.

"Cheng, then we'll move these things into it for you." Then the two little brothers went back and forth several times under the surprised eyes of everyone, and moved a few baskets into the courtyard.

After all the chickens were counted, the two little brothers began to weigh the mushrooms, which had been sorted and packed when they were purchased yesterday, and they were weighed quickly.

The mushrooms were sold for a total of 27 taels of silver, deducting 4 taels of silver for 50 hens and 1 tael of silver for door-to-door service fees, for a total of 22 taels of silver.

Because he still had to buy mushrooms, it was inconvenient to buy the whole silver, so Gu Qing asked for all the copper coins.

After the two sides paid the money, the old lady came back to her senses and asked Gu Qing after the two little brothers drove away.

"This, is this mushroom really unjustly collected at a high price?"

"That's right, grandma, I told you that now I'm doing serious business, you still don't believe it, you look at the back you gave me this back, I didn't sleep all night last night."

Gu Qing said with a big grin, but she didn't get angry with the old lady, the old lady was also afraid that she would come nonsense, and she hated that iron and steel would not make her beat, Gu Qing was an only child before she came here, and she had a good relationship with her grandparents since she was a child, her grandparents loved her, but they didn't spoil her, every time Gu Qing made a mistake, her grandparents still chased her with a broom and ran all over the village.

These are all the love of the elders, Gu Qing understands it, but the love is too heavy and some can't bear it.

Thinking of her ruthless hand yesterday, Mrs. Gu felt distressed: "It's grandma who is wrong, I beat you by mistake yesterday, grandma apologizes to you......"

"Milk, what are you doing here?" Gu Qing came out with a basket of chickens, "Grandma, these chickens, when you go back, I will ask Ah Pei to send them to you, you can kill them directly and eat them or keep them to lay eggs!" ”

"How can this be, my wife doesn't want it, you family have so many mouths to eat, I still have your two uncles to raise, now that you have a money-making livelihood, I can rest assured, even if you die, you can go to see your father and mother with peace of mind." Old Lady Gu rubbed her eyes, wiped away her tears, and walked towards herself tremblingly.

Gu Qing hurriedly asked Yang Pei to follow with the box of chickens.

The two walked to Lao Gu's house, and the whole family was in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness.

"Early in the morning, are you going to Gu Qing?" Old lady Gu looked at the chicken coop that Yang Pei was holding in his hand, "Why did you buy so many chickens?" ”

Yang Pei said with a smile: "Master, I didn't buy it, I asked the head of the family to send it to you." ”

"Don't you say it, why are you still following me back?" Mrs. Gu chattered: "There are so many of you, Gu Yu Gu Nuo is still young, hurry up and take it back." ”

"Grandma, you know the temper of the head of the house, if I take it back again, maybe the head of the house will be angry and go to the flower house again."

The old lady thought that Gu Qing's bastard might really do such a thing, so she had to accept it, "Now that your family master has changed, you will live a good life in the future, Dong Rong's two boys will leave as soon as they leave." ”

I haven't seen Dong Rong and them in the fields for the past few days, but Mrs. Gu asked Gu Nuo privately to know that it was Gu Qing who separated from him, there are many people, and there are many people who open their mouths.

Yang Pei put the chicken coop in the yard and went back, after seeing the mushrooms sold for so much silver, he had to hurry back and do more work, and let Zhu Han and Mo Li go out to pick mushrooms.

The second daughter-in-law, Sun, looked at the chicken coop and gasped, there were ten chickens, how much silver did this cost? When did the eldest niece become so generous?

Old Lady Gu entered the house and said to Old Man Gu: "Gu Qing is finally sensible, and she is becoming more and more open and generous, which is really different from before." ”

Old man Gu smoked a dry cigarette and said, "I guess I woke up after being beaten, can she really make money by collecting that mushroom?" ”

Old Mrs. Gu nodded: "No, I saw it with my own eyes, and there are more than twenty taels left after settling the money for 50 chickens." I estimate that I should be able to make a lot of money except for the money from mushroom harvesting, we are all honest farmers, we have never done business, and we can't teach her anything, let her explore it slowly......"

Gu Qing has been counting.

The 22 taels of silver in hand, excluding the unsettled 9 taels of silver, she earned more than a dozen taels in one day.

You must know that in this era, the income of peasant families is only four or five taels of silver a year, and this is still a good situation.

Gu Yu and Gu Nuo sat excitedly on the side and counted the money.

Yang Pei was dumbfounded: "It's a total of 22 taels of silver, mother, how can you earn so much in one day!" ”

Zhu Hanmo couldn't believe the two of them: "It's only 20 yuan a day to carry a big bag, and it's only 60 yuan to copy a book, we just make so much money by collecting a mushroom, our family is going to become a rich man!" ”

Gu Qing: "......"

Can these people put away this look that they have never seen the world?

She said angrily: "22 taels we still owe the villagers 9 taels of silver that have not been settled, what are you happy about?" ”

Gu Yu and Gu Nuo's faces immediately collapsed.

But the thought that there was still more than half of the silver left, especially the forty chickens in the yard, immediately became happy again.

Gu Nuo cautiously asked, "Eldest sister, can we eat chicken at noon?" ”

Gu Qing put away the copper plate: "Yes, Zhu Han, you come back early at noon, kill three chickens, let everyone eat enough, and the rest are cut off their wings and raised to lay eggs to eat." ”

"Great, can the eldest sister chop chicken legs?" Last time, there were too many half of the chickens, and I was afraid that there would not be enough points, so Zhu Han chopped the chicken legs into small pieces.

"Yes, three chickens, chop 6 big chicken legs and 6 small chicken legs for you, so that you can eat enough!"

"Eldest sister, you're so nice!" Gu Nuo looked at Gu Qing's eyes shining, very good-looking.

It's just too thin, and he's short, looking at the yellow and thin faces at home, hey, it's all the sins of the original body.

Mo Li went out to dig wild vegetables for the chickens to eat with a basket on his back, and Yang Pei was cutting the wings of the chickens, and it was easy to fly away and run away without cutting half of the feathers.

Zhu Han went to the kitchen to stall white flour cakes, ate early and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

"Brother Zhu, spread more cakes, Xiaonuo and I will take them to the mountain to eat, and we won't come back at noon."

"No, it's not safe for you two to come back on the mountain at a young age, you must come back at noon!" She has a mall in hand, she can make money no matter what, but she can't let her children take risks.

As soon as Gu Qing raised her eyes, she saw Yang Pei squatting on the ground to cut the feathers of the chicken, still wearing the old clothes that were all patched, and thinking about it carefully, it seemed that everyone except herself was not wearing the new clothes she bought last time.

I still have too few clothes, and I am reluctant to wear them.

"What is the head of the house thinking?" Yang Pei felt that Gu Qing had been staring at him for a long time, and when he turned around, he found that he was thinking too much, Gu Qing was facing his direction at any time, but his eyes were empty, and he was in a daze at first glance.

"I want how much money I want to make in order to completely improve our lives, so that you don't have to wear clothes with patches, have meat to eat, and build a big brick house before winter."

Yang Pei was speechless in shock after hearing this, the blue brick and big tile house, that is a place that only the county master can afford to live, the head of the family really dares to think.
