Chunniang hesitated and refused to open the door: "My husband is not at home, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to let you in." ”

The person who came smiled and said: "You are Jiang San's sister-in-law, we are from Jinxiu Cloth Village in Simen Town, I heard that you have two big gourds in your house, and you want to see the real face, you see, our brothers have run for dozens of miles, can you let us take a look." ”

Sakura Poked her head out from behind Ah Niang, pulled Ah Niang and whispered, "Let them in." ”

Maybe these two are big customers.

Chun Niang touched her daughter's head and stepped forward to open the bamboo fence door.

The two walked in and arched their hands towards Chunniang: "Disturbed." ”

Chunniang didn't let them into the house, so she brought a big gourd and put it on the stone slab in the middle of the yard to show them.

The two of them were amazed around the big gourd, looked at each other, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if this gourd is for sale?" ”

Sakura Bao replied first: "Of course it is sold, but if the price is not suitable, it will not be sold." ”

Chun Niang nodded, "There are already several people in my house who want to buy this gourd, I don't know how much silver Lang Jun can give?" ”

One person asked, "How much do you want to sell?" ”

Chun Niang is speechless.

She didn't know how much the gourd could sell.

Ying Bao also asked rhetorically: "Do you give as much as we say?" ”

The man choked, then laughed, "You little girl is so funny." ”

Another said: "We also sincerely want to buy it, but it is not cost-effective if it exceeds thirty taels." ”

Sakura Bao smiled and said, "Then thirty taels." ”

There are many caves in her cave about this thing, and it is already a sky-high price to sell for thirty taels, so she can't be too greedy, and her greed will be struck by lightning.

The two of them were also refreshed, and took out three ingots and ten taels of silver from their blankets and put them on the small table under the apple tree: "This is a silver ingot of ten taels and one ingots, you are optimistic." ”

He thought that the peasant family didn't know the silver ingot, and pointed out the inscription in the inside of the silver ingot to Chun Niang: "The official office of Luzhou Mansion makes silver, ten taels." See? ”

Chunniang nodded: "I saw it." ”

The two of them picked up the gourd and were about to leave, but Sakura Bao stopped: "Take out the seeds first, and then you can take them away." ”

The man laughed and said: "You little girl is really a ghost, if there are no seeds in the gourd, it is not worth ten taels." ”

Then he walked out of the yard quickly, carefully rested the gourd on the mule cart, and the two of them jumped on the cart and waved their whips, and drove away from the village as fast as they could.

Ying Bao pursed his lips and chuckled, touching the silver and muttering, "If you don't say this, you still think you're losing money." Hum. ”

Chun Niang regretted on the side, "Yes, why did you forget to dig out the seeds first." "Even a few grains are fine, and it would be nice to grow some at home.

Sakura Bao: "Isn't there a big gourd on the southern slope, let's dig out the seeds of that gourd and plant them." ”

No matter how bad it is, there are a lot of caves in her cave.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chun Niang took the silver back to the hall and asked her daughter: "Do you keep this money or will your mother help you collect it?" ”

"Let it go there." There are still more than forty taels in his cave, and these thirty taels are still properly collected by his father and mother.

When Jiang Saburo came back in the evening, he was stunned when he heard that his gourd was sold for thirty taels. "Who bought it?"

"It's said that it's a cloth village over there." Chun Niang told Xianggong about today's 1510. "Let's dig out the gourd seeds on the south slope and plant some first, you see..."

"Okay! Tomorrow I will go to the south slope and cut out the gourd seeds. "Since this thing is so valuable, it's better to plant some at home, in case it can grow a big gourd, isn't it another entry.

As a result, before he went out the next day, the patriarch and the village chief came to the door.

"San Lang, I heard that you sold the divine gourd in our village?"

Jiang Saburo: ......

Why did his gourd become the village?

Patriarch Chen Fu looked sad: "San Lang, that's a sacred object in our village, how can you say that you can sell it?" Alas, what about the other one? You can't sell anymore. ”

He hadn't touched the gourd for a day, he felt that his waist was sore, he had to walk hard, and his old cold legs were throbbing.

Jiang Sanlang was about to speak, and heard Chen Sanyou say again: "Sanlang, it's better to give the seeds of another gourd to the people in our village, it's not in vain, you see how much money you charge, let's pay for it." ”

Chen Sanyou knew that he and others couldn't stop Jiang Saburo from selling gourds, but it wasn't too much to let him leave some seeds.

Jiang Saburo thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, wait until I take out the seeds in the gourd." ”

So, Jiang Saburo went to the south slope to carry the big gourd back, broke a hole from the top, and took a lot of effort to get the seeds out of it.

Clean the gourd and peel out a total of more than 30 plump seeds.

During his digging of the basket, more than a dozen villagers surrounded him, and even the patriarch and village chief sat on a low stool and watched.

There are a total of 28 households in Dongchen Village, which is the number of households on the household register, but there are still many families that have not been divided.

There are only more than 30 seeds in total, how can they be distributed to each household?

"Otherwise, let's divide it according to household registration." Chen Sanyou, the village leader, waved his hand, "One for each household." ”

Jiang Saburo has no opinion, but how to collect money has become a problem.

If you collect too much, the villagers will definitely not be happy, and it will be difficult for him to be a person in the village in the future, after all, the villagers can help him a lot.

For example, building houses and digging ponds, their own families did not pay a single salary, but they only provided them with two meals a day.

If you want to be less, it's better to send them to forget it, they are all villagers, but it's just a little seed, if you can't plant it, it's not good to blame yourself.

Sakura saw this scene when she came back from school, and there were many people crowded in her yard, stretching their necks to look at the middle of the yard one by one.

Squeezed in and took a look, there was a small handful of gourd seeds on the small table, and several big men were leaning their heads on the head to discuss something.

In the end, Jiang Saburo said: "Okay, then it's ten Wen, but whether you can grow it depends on your luck." ”

He wanted to give it away for free, but the patriarch and Muramasa disagreed, so Jiang Saburo set a price for the seeds.

Ten cents is not a decimal amount in the eyes of the villagers, but it can still be afforded.

Everyone readily agreed, and even Aunt Wang, who had always been careful, didn't say anything, because her family could also get one, and Chen Cunzheng's family had a son, and they all lived separately, but they only got one gourd seed.

Even the richest Chen clan patriarch in the village has only one, you must know that this is a divine gourd seed.

Hehe, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and Aunt Wang actually feels in an unprecedented mood.

Not long after the gourd seeds were divided, someone came to buy the gourd, and Jiang Saburo sold the empty gourd for twenty taels.

Many villagers watched this, and their hearts were immediately hot, and they couldn't wait to go home and plant the gourd seeds immediately.

But now that autumn is falling, it is not the season to plant gourds, so everyone can only hold down their hearts and carefully collect the gourd seeds, hoping that the next spring will come soon.

Just after the Midyear Festival in July, Jiang Erlang was about to go to the south slope to harvest golden fungus, opened the courtyard gate, and suddenly saw a woman with a cloak standing outside the courtyard gate.

Jiang Erlang was startled, took a closer look, and his face instantly sank, "Why are you?" What are you doing here early in the morning? ”
