Chapter 11 How to spend the money

The people gathered around the pharmacy originally lamented the shit luck of the Tang family's Xiucai, and the unlucky ones were not unlucky!

The next second was dumbfounded, the unlucky guy became a fool, don't give 100 taels, isn't this a fool?

Nong Wenfu was also a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect to hear such an answer.

"I'm not a high-ranking person." Tang Yingcai's face was calm: "I just don't want Young Master Nong to spend more money, how much should I give." ”

He didn't know the price of medicinal materials on the market, even if the local ginseng was precious, it was not worth 100 taels.

Accepting this money is equivalent to owing agricultural favors, which cannot be done.

"Mr. Tang is thoughtful." Nong Wenfu said: "In addition to wanting to buy this native ginseng, I was also moved by the sincere family affection of the two. ”

"Money is like me and Fuyun, the two let me see the true feelings of the world, I am really envious, so this money is worth it."

He was sincere and insisted: "Please also ask Mr. Tang not to shirk and agree to the request of the juniors." ”

Nong Wenbin is the eldest son in the family, with outstanding ability, and he is also a son-in-law, but he is not loved by his father.

His father loves the concubines in the family, and he is extremely strict with agricultural literature, and the relationship between father and son is very tense.

Tang Yingcai thought about this and handed him the medicinal herbs.

It's all said about this, and it's clear that he wants him to accept it. What else can I do?

"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Nong Wenfu made another move.

With the businessman's keen intuition, he asked again.

"What do you want to buy when Mr. Tang comes to the market? Need help below? ”

"That's embarrassing, it's just a little bit of a gadget." Tang Yingcai waved his hand and thanked him for his kindness.

"What's more, Young Master Nong has already helped us, and he is already grateful. Sugar Baby, say goodbye to big brother. We'll see you soon. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Tangbao raised his head and looked at Nong Wenfu a few times, and the small dimples on his face were unconsciously revealed.

Waved at him: "Thank you, big brother, goodbye, brother." ”

The bright smile instantly shattered Nong Wenfu's heart, and he suddenly understood why his relatives and friends wanted to have a daughter.

It's really different to have a sweet little padded jacket.

At this moment, looking at the back of the Tang family's grandfather and grandson leaving, Nong Wenfu's heart was stunned, and a sense of loneliness surged up......

*

Xiao Tangbao, who was walking in the bazaar, asked a little puzzled.

"Grandpa, why don't you let the big brother help us? With his help, we will have a lot easier. ”

Tang Yingcai's footsteps stopped, he touched Xiao Tangbao's head, and his tone was a little heavy.

"Sugar Baby, you're still young. A lot of things are not understood yet. If you could, Grandpa hoped you wouldn't understand for the rest of your life. ”

"A scholar must have the integrity of a scholar, and I would rather starve to death than eat the food that comes from me. I don't want to get along with people with bad intentions! ”

There was a hint of bitterness on his face, he Tang Yingcai didn't like to owe favors the most, and he would never succumb to things he didn't agree with.

Now it is a famine year, the people are struggling to make a living, and there are many bones along the way, which is really unbearable for him to watch.

In addition to the government's inaction, this rich farmer did not secretly contribute to the troubles and did not control the price of grain?

He Tang Ying is 10,000 don't believe it!

On the surface, the eldest son of the farmer, Nong Wenfu, is not only humble and polite, but also a young and promising rich and noble child.

In Daoxiang Town, no one praises this person's excellence.

But Tang Yingcai thought from the bottom of his heart that this person was definitely not as gentlemanly as he was.

What's more, even if Nong Wenfu is clever and clever, he understands that this native ginseng is definitely not worth the price.

These 100 taels, whether they are selling this native ginseng or something else, it is unknown.

"Grandpa hopes that Xiao Tangbao must be tough when he goes out, someone dares to bully us, and he will bite off a piece of meat if he fights for his life!"

"We are not poor, and a gentleman will die a good death." Tang Yingcai's eyes showed sadness.

"But because of grandpa's idea, your grandma suffered a lot. Grandpa was an incompetent coward. ”

"The only thing I can do is to love her wholeheartedly, and I hope to make up for the hardships that Shulan has endured over the years."

When talking about Huo Shulan, the corners of Tang Yingcai's mouth finally showed signs of rising, and the spirit of the whole person also returned.

Little Sugar Treasure looked thoughtfully at his grandfather's expression at the moment, and seemed to have a seed planted in his heart.

"That's it, let's not talk about that." Tang Yingcai pointed to the grain store not far away: "Let's plan how to spend this money first." ”

Their original plan was to give priority to rice, flour, grain and oil, which were necessary foods.

Forget it, buy 10 catties of each, almost spend 15 taels, save some food this winter, it's not a big problem.

Then I plan to buy some vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, and potatoes that are not easy to spoil, and put them in the cellar when the time comes, so that they can eat them anytime and anywhere.

But now it is a famine year, and there are very few of these vegetables, and the situation in Daoxiang Town, where they are located, is okay.

At least there is a dart game here, and there is no shortage of food for the time being, but the price has gone up. It is estimated that one pound will cost 5 taels of silver.

Tang Yingcai weighed some silver in his hand, bought 10 catties and put it in the cellar, and saved some food!

"Grandpa!" Xiao Tangbao caught a glimpse of a shop making clothes next to him: "This shop is called Brother Ling Ling, it's so beautiful!" ”

"It's Linglong Pavilion." Tang Yingcai corrected her with a smile: "Go back and give you a good enlightenment." ”

"My granddaughter Tang Xiucai can't be illiterate." The mouth responds to the little sugar baby.

But when he saw the luxuriously decorated Linglong Pavilion in his heart, his heart was hot. Take the little sugar baby and go inside.

At the first glance of his entry, he saw a brocade cloth, which was not precious.

But the pattern embroidered on this fabric is the love token of his marriage to Huo Shulan - plum blossoms.

But I'm afraid this price is not cheap, what if she scolds me for spending money indiscriminately?

That's it, if you are scolded, you will be scolded.

He didn't want his lady to always wear that gray dress that was washed to white and full of patches.

I don't know if Shulan likes this dress or not.

He was uneasy in his heart, and he was as nervous as a hairy boy.

Tang Yingcai was fascinated, and a rounded half-aged walked out.

"Isn't this Tang Xiucai. I haven't heard from your family for many days, how are you doing? ”

The proprietress of this Linglong Pavilion is an old acquaintance with the Tang family, Tang Jingfu's embroidery skills are good, and many orders will be handed over to her to do.

"Jingfu's health is temporarily inconvenient, I came today to find the proprietress to make a few decent clothes."

Tang Yingcai nodded and smiled, he admired Wen Chu, the proprietress in front of him.

Her husband died young, and she had no children and no daughters, so she was the only one who left the shop.

Wen Chu actually resisted for decades on his own, making the scale of Linglong Pavilion bigger than before, and he was really a heroine among women!

When she heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Making clothes? I heard you right. Forgive me for talking too much, do you still have spare money to make clothes in your family's situation? ”
