Chapter 7 The Golden Lock Turmoil

Stay until dinner.

Because of Zhang's advance notification, Cheng Da is also rare to smile, coupled with his honest temperament on weekdays, the whole person looks red.

Cheng Er and Cheng San also became more and more inexplicable, Cheng San deliberately said angrily: "What is a good thing, why is it that everyone knows it today, and I am willing to share it with me." ”

"Ahem, so am I." Cheng Er raised his hand.

The others couldn't help but chuckle. Zhang and Cheng Da glanced at each other, then looked at Mrs. Cheng, touched Ping'er's little head and said: "Today, I mentioned Ping'er's name to my mother, and my mother said that I wish Ping'er a safe life, and named it Changping." ”

"It's such a good thing, Changping, Cheng Changping, a good name." Cheng San was emotionally direct, laughed loudly, and hugged Ping'er for a while.

Cheng Er was happy at first, and subconsciously looked at Liu, and saw that she was also smiling, so he spoke: "Such a good happy event should be celebrated." Come, it just so happened that the second uncle gave Ping'er a gift. As he spoke, he took something out of his bosom.

Seeing such a thing, the dinner table, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, was quiet,

"Second brother, you ...... Where did you come from, don't you dare to ......" Cheng Da was taken aback.

It turned out to be something that Cheng Er took out, but it turned out to be a golden lock.

The others were also very surprised, and Zhang's was also busy prevaricating: "This is too valuable, it can't be given to Ping'er, the second uncle quickly take it back." ”

Compared with Zhang's refusal, Liu was more calm, just looked at Cheng Er in belief and didn't say anything.

"Second brother, tell me quickly, where did you come from, why don't I know when you got rich?" Cheng San approached Cheng Er and couldn't help but touch the golden lock.

The gold lock is not big, a small piece, and it is also a little rough and old.

Seeing that Cheng Shui's gaze also swept over, Cheng Er said weakly: "I listened to my mother's words a while ago, didn't I find a way to sell food with my eldest brother, hey...... It's not from the greedy Mo family. ”

Cheng Er hurriedly explained: "At that time, there were a lot of sales, and later the shopkeeper who collected the grain asked me if I still had any food. ”

"Later, didn't you embezzle the money from the villagers' grain sales?" Cheng Da asked straightly, staring at Cheng Er tightly.

"How is that possible!" Cheng Er is unhappy, although he is greedy for money, he has also been taught to take it in a good way. "It was the treasurer who collected the grain and gave it to me as a thank you. I wanted to give me money, but I confiscated it, and saw that this little golden lock was just right for Ping'er, so I changed it. ”

"That's good, this golden lock is not big, and it is not very valuable." Cheng Da said worriedly.

Cheng Er rolled his eyes, and just wanted to refute, but saw Cheng Shui's face unswerving.

Not only Cheng Er, but Liu also saw it, and couldn't help but say: "Mother, but is there anything wrong with Erlang?" ”

Cheng Shui put down his chopsticks, shook his head and said: "Erlang's heart is not bad, he not only helped the shopkeeper who collected the grain, but also helped the villagers in the village, so it is not too much to accept this golden lock." Just ......"

"Just what?" Cheng Er was first overjoyed to be affirmed by his mother, but after listening to his words, he asked nervously.

"It's just too much." Cheng Shui thought to himself, the price of grain has reached its peak, and in the future, this shopkeeper will be good to collect and sell. Originally, he was not greedy enough, but Cheng Er intervened in it, and he was afraid that he would be angry in the future.

Hearing this, everyone was a little confused, and they didn't understand why the matter of benefiting both sides was not enough.

Only Cheng Er has a hidden awareness in his heart, which shows that he still has some talent in this business.

"In this way, you go and tell the shopkeeper tomorrow that when the water is full, the moon will be full and the moon will be lost, so that he will cherish himself." Cheng Shui said.

Cheng Er understood, his heart was a little settled, and he went to remind him the next day and didn't mention it.

On this night, everyone was smiling, although it was coarse tea and light rice, they were still longing.

……

In the following days, Cheng Shui observed silently.

She knew that such a peaceful time was like a bright moon in the water, and it would be broken when she poked it.

Sure enough, news soon came.

There were caravans that brought large quantities of grain and peddled them around the town, and people from all over the villages flocked to it.

During the meal again, Cheng Er smacked his tongue: "Mother, didn't you see it, the people in that town are like crazy." If you want me to say, there is still grain in stock, and there is really no need to rush to buy that grain, because if everyone is not in a hurry to stock up on grain, the price of this grain will inevitably fall. ”

When Cheng Shui heard this, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Erlai carefully.

Seeing his mother's strange gaze, Cheng Er scratched his chin, a little ashamed, turned his head to look at Liu's snicker, and became more and more embarrassed.

Recently, somehow, Liu's temperament has become more and more soft, and the two of them seem to have returned to the time when they first got married.

Seeing Cheng Er smirking, Cheng Shui shook his head and asked him: "Did you see the shopkeeper who collected grain that day you said that day?" ”

"Mother, don't worry, my son reminded him, he was a little hesitant a few days ago, and now that there is food in this town, he must not be stupid, he should act as soon as possible." Cheng Er replied.

Because Mrs. Cheng said that she may have to escape the famine. Even if he knew that there were people selling grain in Shilong Town, his family was not in a hurry to buy it, and thought that there was more and cheaper food outside.

Who would have thought that the opposite would have happened. These princes have no other skills, and the news of selling grain to make money is tightly hidden.

Even those big families were shaken by them, and the food in the north was exhausted and concentrated in Shilong Town.

Ringing noon.

"Mother, mother, you see I'm right." Cheng Er sweated profusely and ran into the house. "Food prices have fallen, food prices have fallen."

Because of this, there were constant caravans selling grain in the town. It is inevitable that people's hearts in Changliu Village will fluctuate, and Cheng Er will go to the town every day to see the excitement.

"Erlang, on such a hot day, you drink saliva first." Liu said distressedly on the side.

Cheng Er's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but clench Liu's hand.

"Second brother, you just said that the price of food has dropped?" Cheng Da couldn't help but speak.

Just now, everyone heard Cheng Er's shouting.

"Yes, big brother, you didn't see it. The grain shops of the Li family and the Feng family have been closed, and now the grain sellers are all foreign caravans, and the price of grain has dropped to 2,000 Wen. Cheng Er said it in detail this time.

Half a month ago, he sold grain with Cheng Da, 3,000 wen per stone.

"Look, I always feel that the price of food is going to go down." Cheng Er said as he looked at Mrs. Cheng.

And Boss Cheng looked at Mrs. Cheng, and he always had a premonition in his heart that his mother seemed to know that the price of this grain was going to drop, so she sold almost all the grain.

In a few days, as Cheng Er said, the price of grain dropped again.

At the same time, a strange rumor gradually fermented in Changliu Village and slowly spread.

And Cheng Shui only felt that there were many more people in front of the door recently. These people have excuses to come to the door to greet each other, some secretly look at themselves, and everyone is talking to each other and exchanging secrets.

Rao is her experience in two lives, and she is not surprised, but also a little confused.

However, before she could probe, the answer soon came to her door.
