85 Buy five pounds of konjac for a penny
Father Lin, Aunt Lin and the dragon and phoenix fetus did not wait for Lin Qianqian's orders, and immediately took out the konjac and cleaned it up.
Daddy Lin and the dragon and phoenix fetus peeled the konjac "swish", and Aunt Lin cleaned the shaved konjac with her hands and feet, and cut it up with "bang dang dang".
Lin Qian ran to the front yard to get the konjac sticks cut by Aunt Lin for a while, and ran to the backyard to throw the konjac sticks into the stone mill.
Lin Mingming moved a stool, sat next to the stone mill, and pulled the stone mill wholeheartedly.
Lin Qianqian saw Lin Mingming sweating profusely, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Ming, you will suffer for a day today, and after we deliver the goods tomorrow, the eldest sister will take you to buy a good thing." ”
"Huh? Are you sure? What is it? Is it delicious? Lin Mingming's eyes were shining.
"Something that works." Lin Qianqian smiled mysteriously.
Lin Mingming asked a few more times, but Lin Qian's tone was too tight, and he didn't reveal half a word.
Lin Mingming suppressed his curiosity, and had to look forward to coming sooner tomorrow.
On this day, because of the successful work of the stone mill, the time to make konjac tofu was shortened by more than half, and the work that originally took three hours now only takes one and a half hours.
In this way, they have more time to dig konjac, go up the mountain to chop wood, and carry water.
Before lunch, Lin Qianqian's family had already made the 600 catties of konjac tofu that needed to be shipped the next day.
After lunch, the family began to divide the work.
Father Lin and Aunt Lin continued to dig the cellar, although there were no two thousand catties of horseshoe to store, but there were still a lot of konjac to store.
Now the time to make konjac tofu is saved, and some other work that can be done is done as much as possible in advance, so Lin Qianqian took a few small ones to dig konjac.
They had been digging along the river a few days ago, and today they had already dug up the area at the entrance of the village.
At this moment, it is early afternoon, due to the dry weather, there is no work in the field, and the leisurely villagers almost gather under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village to gossip.
In the process of chatting, some people couldn't help but feel funny when they saw a few small members of the Lin family digging konjac next to them.
"Didn't the Li family send a lot of food to the Lin family? Although they didn't get 2,000 catties of horseshoe, they weren't so hungry that they wanted to dig konjac to eat, right? ”
"Alas, I used to think they were pitiful, but last time the whole village went up the mountain to dig the horses' hooves, but the Lin family wanted to sit back and enjoy the success, so they waited to share the horses' hooves, and then the horses' hooves were not so much, they couldn't share the horses' hooves, and now they have nothing to eat, I don't think they are pitiful."
"Who said the Lin family didn't eat? My family lives behind his house, and every day I smell the fragrance wafting from there, and I don't know what delicious food is cooked. ”
"If you have something to eat, why do you dig konjac? Pigs don't eat this thing. ”
.....
The first few people in front of Lin turned a deaf ear to everyone's discussions, and a few of them waved their hoes vigorously.
At this moment, Lin Elementary School silently joined their team with a hoe on his shoulder.
When Lin Qian wiped his sweat, he found that he had dug up a small pile of konjac.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao and asked with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, what are you digging this konjac for?" ”
"I'll dig it for you." Lin Elementary School said as a matter of course.
Lin Qianqian had already guessed Lin Elementary School's intentions just now, but when he heard him say it, his heart was still moved.
She said in a harmonious voice: "I can't take advantage of you, so how about I do business with you?" ”
Lin Xiaoxiao's face was full of indifferent expressions, and he said with a smile: "Our folks, what do you take advantage of, besides, you are a girl's family, what kind of business can you do?" ”
Lin Qianqian said with a smile: "The business I talked about with you is exactly the business of konjac, it's like this, the konjac you dug is sold to me, five catties a penny, and you will receive as much as you want." ”
"What? Pigs don't eat this thing, what did you buy it for? Lin Elementary School was amazed.
A few days ago, he felt that Lin Qianqian was strange, he always felt that her temperament had changed greatly, and he thought it was the reason why he was bullied by Fang Mazi.
Now that he knows that Lin Qianqian was not bullied by Fang Mazi at all, why did she change her temperament?
This konjac that pigs don't eat, she even spends money to buy it? Isn't that crazy?
He looked at Lin Qianqian from head to toe inquiringly, and found that Lin Qianqian had not changed at all except that she had become white and tidy, but why did he feel like she was a different person?
He couldn't see the slightest clue, and his inquiring eyes couldn't help but turn to Lin Mingming.
Lin Mingming didn't hear the words of the two at all, he looked up to wipe his sweat and saw Lin Xiaoxiao staring straight at him, he couldn't help but feel a chill, "Brother Xiaoxiao, what do you think I'm doing?" ”
Lin Xiaoxiao shouted before that he wanted to marry his eldest sister, but now he has shifted his target and wants to marry him?
It can't be that he thinks too much, right?
Lin Xiaoxiao shook his head, and he thought it was funny.
Lin Qianqian is the original Lin Daniu, the Lin family knows best, they don't think there is anything, what does he care so much?
Lin Qianqian ignored his confusion and said lightly: "Konjac can be made into a kind of food, I will take it to the county to buy it, you don't have to worry about me making a loss-making business." ”
"Huh? It's true? That'....." Lin Elementary School scratched his head in embarrassment.
He was idle at home, thinking about coming to help, but he didn't expect to sell konjac for money now, and he himself felt blushing.
"Five catties a penny, send it to my house as much as you dig, and if your family is free, you can call them all to dig up." Lin Qian said businessmanly.
"Oh, oh, okay..."Lin Xiaoxiao nodded confusedly.
The two talked about money, and Lin Mingming heard it selectively.
He immediately expressed a small protest: "Sister, we can dig it ourselves, why do you have to spend money to buy it?" So what else do we earn? ”
Lin Qian smiled, but now that they are outside, there are many people, and it is difficult for her to calculate the accounts carefully to him.
She reassured: "Don't worry, I have my own opinions." ”
They dig their own, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and this time might as well be spent on selling konjac tofu and making konjac tofu.
"I'll just follow my eldest sister." Lin Mingming said.
The dragon and phoenix tire will not protest at all, because the eldest sister has never missed it when it comes to doing business.
A few people were digging hard, when two men hurriedly ran from outside the village.
When the two entered the village, they asked aloud the people who were sitting under the big banyan tree and chatting.
"Excuse me, sister-in-law, where does Lin Qianqian live?"
The people gathered under the big banyan tree were bored, and now they saw the strangers entering the village, and then looked at the clothes of the two, and they all looked at them curiously.
Although the two people who entered the village were dressed in neat linen short brown, their clothes were clean and clean, without a single patch, and they wore cloth shoes on their feet, unlike their countrymen, and the best thing was to wear a pair of straw sandals woven by themselves, or directly barefoot.
The faces of these two people were very clean, their hair was shiny and smooth, and they were neatly combed, on the other hand, they were a group of people who sat under the banyan tree to enjoy the shade.
Their faces were dirty, and there were places on their faces that could almost scrape off a small pile of mud, and because their hair had not been washed for a long time, a lot of dirt stuck to it, stuck together and knotted, and they couldn't be combed at all.
When the villagers suddenly saw two well-dressed people entering the village, everyone was a little ashamed of themselves, and they were embarrassed to approach the two, but just sat far away, looking at the two with fiery and envious eyes.
