Chapter 852: Glory to the Ancestors!
Lingxi County.
Sunset.
"Bao Zai! Bao Zai! Your mother shouted that you were going home for dinner! ”
"Huh? I don't want it, I haven't had enough fun! ”
"Hahaha, you decrepit boy, be careful to wait until your mother catches you, take the sugar cane and whip you a decrepit boy!"
The uncle from the same village who was passing by saw that the sun was about to go down, and he was catching loaches in the field with a group of monkey cubs, and his nephew, who refused to go home, shouted twice, and saw that he didn't hear a word and was ready to leave.
Anyway, it won't be long before the old lady of this decrepit boy will come to arrest him, and then this decrepit boy will know what it means to not listen to the old man and suffer a loss in front of him.
Now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I picked so many sugar oranges today, I have to pick them home quickly, but I don't have time to waste here with this decrepit boy.
I heard that the sugar oranges in their Lingxi have been ordered by His Majesty as the best products for the New Year of the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know if it is possible for their sugar oranges to be presented to His Majesty's table as tributes.
When the time comes, you may be able to open a single page for yourself in the family tree!
Suck! I can't dream, it's getting dark, so I have to pick sugar oranges and go back.
Shaking his head and leaving the whimsy in his head behind, Chen Ah Shan hurriedly walked home with sugar oranges.
Fluttering!
As the sky grew darker, the tired birds began to return to their nests, and the little children in the fields were still digging for loaches, laughing and laughing.
However, this beautiful scene did not last long.
"Chen Abao! You decrepit boy, it's dark, don't you know how to go home? Do you want the old lady to take the sugarcane every day to smoke you a decrepit boy to know how to go home! ”
With this familiar sound in his ears, Chen Abao, who was having a good time, suddenly shuddered, revealing a frightened look.
Before his friends could laugh at him, the next moment!
"Chen Shuyi! Your girl's family runs around with this group of decrepit boys every day, isn't the old lady tired of washing clothes every day! Don't go home yet! ”
"Chen Guangzong! Did the old lady give you face! Don't you know how to go home for dinner when it's time? ”
"Chen Cheng! ……”
"Chen Ergou! ……”
……
With the call of the old lady, the children who originally wanted to laugh at Chen Abao suddenly couldn't laugh, and they all froze their movements.
The next moment, I don't know who shouted.
"Run! Mother is here! ”
A group of mud monkeys, covered in mud, rushed out of the fields, carrying their harvest for the day, whether it was fish or shrimp or crabs and loaches.
However, where could the monkeys escape from the Five Fingers Mountain of the Buddha, and it didn't take long for the mud monkeys to be accompanied by a burst of squeaky screams, and all of them were grabbed by their respective mothers and taken home.
They were accompanied by the babbling of a group of old ladies and the occasional sudden fall of branches or sugar cane that smacked them on their buttocks.
Sure enough, just as Chen Ah Shan guessed, this group of mud monkeys finally understood what it meant to not listen to the old man and suffer a loss in front of them.
After some picking, each family began to eat.
The same is true of Chen Abao's family, after being thrown into the water, Chen Abao, who has changed into clean clothes, honestly sits on the stool and watches the old lady bring the food to the table, grinning from time to time, it was the pain of the butt that was pumped just now.
His father, Chen Ashui, sat opposite and looked at him like this, where he gloated.
It wasn't until his daughter-in-law put a bowl of rice in front of him that he hurriedly restrained her smile.
"Laugh and laugh! Just know how to laugh! Day by day, let you take him to pick sugar oranges, and the result! Net run to play!
It is also thanks to the good years of the past two years, the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven, otherwise if it is changed in the Holy Year of the Heavenly Saint, I see that if he continues to play like this, how will he live when he grows up in the future!
I can't learn every day, and I don't work! Just know how to play!
Take a look at Li Jiacheng in the East Village, although he doesn't go to school anymore, he is smart when he is young, you see how old he is to go out to do business with his father! Look at this mud monkey again, and you will know how to play!
It's all your father's fault! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! It's all my fault......"
Chen Ashui didn't dare to refute, hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the rice, and let his wife chatter, this is already commonplace, he is used to it.
After the wife finished speaking, she would be quiet, and if she talked back, it would be endless.
For this, the father and son rarely reached a tacit understanding, and no one dared to refute it when the tigress roared at home, and they all ate silently.
After the tigress finished speaking, the house finally quieted down and everyone began to eat.
Halfway through eating, Chen Ashui said: "Zhao Di, the sugar oranges at home have been picked, and I am going to take them to the county to sell tomorrow, do you think you will go with you tomorrow?" ”
Li Zhaodi frowned when she heard this, and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the county seat to sell it?" Didn't you always go to the town in previous years? It's a few dozen miles back and forth. ”
Chen Ashui said with a smile: "You don't know, I heard my uncle say today, last year, our county order sent sugar oranges to Bianjing for offerings, and His Majesty said it was delicious after eating!"
Have you heard of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce? I heard that it is the royal chamber of commerce, I heard that this year has opened a store in the county, is buying sugar oranges, ready to be transported to the capital by sea to sell, their purchase price is high, a pound of sugar oranges is full of ten dollars a pound!
Our family's three acres of land can produce more than 7,000 catties of sugar oranges every year, and if this can be sold, it will be a full seventy taels of silver! ”
"What! Ten texts! It's only three things in town! ”
Li Zhaodi exclaimed in surprise when she heard this.
Chen Ashui said triumphantly: "You haven't seen this."
People are the Royal Chamber of Commerce, they want the best sugar oranges, Nala goes to the capital to sell, it is a high-end product, it sells more than ten yuan, ten yuan is very high for us, it is very cheap for them, but His Majesty wants us people to make more money, so we can buy it directly from the people, otherwise it will be directly contracted to those merchants, and those merchants will not be able to collect it at the original price and sell it at a high price?
As you just said, Li Ka-shing's family, when I heard that because of this matter, I wanted to talk to Feiyun Business with others, but they didn't agree, otherwise where would we have this opportunity? ”
Chen Zhaodi's heart was moved, this is seventy taels! With this money, not only will the family's expenses not have to worry about next year, but the children can also go to a better school when they study, maybe they will be able to take the exam in the future, and they will not have to live by planting fruit trees like their husband and wife.
But......
"You said that what people want is good fruit, can our sugar oranges be valued?"
Li Zhaodi asked worriedly, don't let people want it then, the sugar orange has been pulled all the way back after pulling it for so long.
In this regard, Chen Ashui said confidently: "I don't dare to say anything else, who in our sugar oranges can be sweeter than ours?"
We're all decades old!
Besides, even if it doesn't work, I will sell it in the county seat at that time, and the purchase price in the county town will be higher than that in the town, and I will not lose money! ”
Li Zhaodi thought about it when she heard this, and immediately said: "Okay, I'll send Baozai to my father and mother early tomorrow morning, let's go to the county seat together, let's pull a car to test the water first!" ”
"Good!"
The night passed.
As soon as the sky was bright, Li Zhaodi sent her skin monkey to her parents-in-law, and then followed the man to pull a cart of sugar oranges towards Haining County.
Nearly 20 miles away, the husband and wife pulled a whole morning to arrive, and there were many people from the same village who received the news.
When a group of people came to Haining County, they found that people from many other villages had also received the news that they had come to Haining County, and the whole Haining County was full of sugar oranges.
Now Chen Ashui panicked, there are so many sugar oranges that are sold, and his confidence in his own sugar oranges is gradually decreasing, but Ladu is here, and he has to try it in hard, otherwise it will be in vain?
With this mentality, the couple finally came to the shop of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, but there was already a long queue of people here, and at first glance, all of them were selling sugar oranges.
At this time, Chen Ashui and his wife's hearts were cold, and Li Zhaodi couldn't help but start complaining:
"It's all your fault, look at so many people, can we still sell our sugar oranges?"
Chen Ashui also regretted it a little at this time, but they came, and the couple could only continue.
After waiting in line for an unknown amount of time, it was finally the couple's turn.
The shopkeeper of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce who was in charge of collecting sugar oranges looked at the sugar oranges brought by the husband and wife, which made the two nervous.
He reached out and picked up another and ate it.
The husband and wife were nervous again.
As his expression changed, the couple was nervous three times!
Finally!
The shopkeeper's complexion changed!
The husband and wife were nervous four times!
Immediately afterwards, I heard the shopkeeper's surprise: "Not bad! It's the sweetest sugar orange ever! Can you be sure that your sugar oranges are of this quality? ”
Chen Ashui was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly woke up under the secret waist of his daughter-in-law, and hurriedly nodded again and again!
"Don't worry, sir! All the sugar oranges in our house are so sweet! ”
"Really?"
"Seriously!"
"That's good! We will send someone to your house for a spot check, and if what you say is true, then I have to say that your family is in good luck! ”
"Huh?"
Chen Ashui and his wife looked dazed.
Hit the big luck, hit what the big luck.
But I heard the shopkeeper whisper: "Last year, since His Majesty said that sugar oranges are delicious, our Chamber of Commerce is looking for the best sugar oranges in various places, ready to be used in the palace this year, your sugar oranges I see OK, if it is spot-checked, maybe your sugar oranges will become a tribute in the palace in the future, do you say it is lucky?" ”
"Ah! Tribute? ”
Chen Ashui's eyes widened, and then he fainted straight, which caused a commotion around, and it took a while for Chen Ashui to be woken up by the pinch, and as soon as he woke up, he hurriedly grabbed the shopkeeper's thigh!
"My lord! Small guarantees are all of this quality! The little one will take you to my house, and this quota must be given to the little one! ”
Glory to the ancestors! Glory to the ancestors!
This earth-pouring wealth is finally my turn Chen Ashui!
Hahahaha......
