Chapter 60: Eavesdropping

Xu Ling was overjoyed, he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing.

But there are some things that need to be clarified.

He hurriedly said: "I still have a lot of them at home, if they are all sent, I am afraid that it will be useless for the old man to ask for so much." ”

The man smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. My lord plans to use it to give away, that is, he wants to put on thirty or fifty cans, but I'm afraid it won't be enough. ”

After that, he took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Ling, asking him to leave all the autumn pear paste in the back basket.

The remaining half tael should be used as a deposit, and when he sends some to the door tomorrow, he will settle the rest of the money again.

This is a big deal, and it is amazing to see Xu Ling.

Leaving from the back door of the Wei family, Xu Ling looked at the small vermilion door again and again, and muttered in his heart: "Sure enough, the gap between the rich and the poor is in every world." ”

Some people sell their daughters for a few pennies, and some people spend a lot of money to buy things and give them away without blinking.

On the way home, Xu Ling thought that he would continue to boil autumn pear paste tonight, and there would be about a few hundred catties of pears in the space, and he would be able to make thirty cans after boiling, but he would have to go to Lijiazhuang to buy some more pears the day after tomorrow.

Put the money in the space and take the pears on the cart and take them home.

Xu Ping and Xu An were anxiously waiting at the back door, seeing that he was back, they hurriedly shouted, "Big brother!" Chong Xu Ling ran over and helped him push the cart.

"Big brother, why did you buy a lot of pears again?"

"Business is very good, I will continue to boil sugar paste today, the day after tomorrow I may have to go far away to buy pears in Lijiazhuang, are you two at home or go with me?"

"Brother, let's not go to Lijiazhuang, right? Wouldn't it be a waste of money to take a boat if you went? ”

"Yes, but we can help you sell sugar paste together!"

Xu Ping and Xu An pushed aside by themselves, helped Xu Ling push the cart to the yard, unloaded the pears, put them into a large basin, and went to the well to fetch water to wash and peel pears.

Xu Ling had to sit for a while, knocking on his calves and drinking tea, and asked what the two children had done at home today.

When they first arrived in Lingbao Town, they didn't have the courage to go far away, and the money Xu Ling gave them didn't spent, Liu Niang cooked a meal in the morning, invited them to eat together, and said that they would take Xu Ping and Xu An to the ready-to-wear shop to buy clothes.

It's just that there are many customers in the tea shop in the front yard in the afternoon, and she doesn't have time, so they play by themselves in the yard.

Xu Ling touched his sister's hair and asked them to take the money to Matou Street to buy some food and come back, he was going to continue to work.

The autumn night was cold, and the freshly drawn well water was steaming white, but it soon became cold to the bone.

Eating and working, Xu Ling stayed up until the second half of the night again, and he didn't feel like he had slept long when he lay in bed, and the sky was bright again.

Xu Ling got up together, Xu Ping had already bought breakfast, three bowls of hot dumplings, sprinkled with green leeks on top, and it was warm and filling to eat.

Xu Ling fooled his younger brothers and sisters, this time he left them 600 yuan, 300 yuan per person, if he sold all the autumn pear paste today, he would go to Lijiazhuang, and he might not come back at night.

The money is set aside for them in case they need it.

Xu Ling told him a thousand times, and the two children agreed to come down one by one.

Xu Ling rushed to Wei's house with the last thirty cans on his body, for fear that the big customers would fly away.

This time, it was the same person who received him yesterday.

Xu Ling also learned his name, his name was Wei Cai, and he was the scholar of Wei Shiqing, the owner of the mansion here.

The eldest of his family is the grandson of the third lady of the Wei family in Yangzhou. Seeing the outstanding people of Lingbao Town, they settled here.

Even in Lingbao Town, the Wei family is famous.

Xu Ling praised a few words greatly, and the scholar who said it smiled brightly, and he was also very happy when he gave the money.

He said that the Wei family has its own merchant ship, going back and forth between Yangzhou and Lingbao Town, and his master saw that Xu Ling's fritillary cough cream had a miraculous effect in treating cough, and it did not hurt the body, and the taste was as sweet as honey, so he thought of his grandmother in Yangzhou and wanted to send some over.

If you still need it in the future, you have to find Xu Ling to buy some more.

Xu Ling repeatedly assured that the mother-of-pearl cough cream he made was not deceived and was naturally harmless, and told the other party that he lived in the tea shop courtyard in the alley of Matou Street, so he resigned

Leaving the Wei family, Xu Ling was happy in his heart, meeting a big customer, wouldn't he sit and wait to get rich?

Coupled with the more than 20 cans sold yesterday, Xu Ling sold 56 cans in the past two days, and accumulated 25 taels of silver.

plus the sixteen taels saved before, there are forty-one taels in total.

It's enough to pay back Wang's money. But the family always has to live, plus there are debts owed by others, in case people come to the door, if he can't come up with the money, he can't do it.

Xu Ling hurried to the dock to take a boat, and after one or two more trips, he could go home after saving enough money.

In the courtyard of Matou Street, Xu Ping and Xu An ate and ate, and there was a lot of trouble. Neither of them dared to go out against the orders of the eldest brother, but in this small yard, there was not much to play in the countryside.

Xu An originally hoped that Liu Niang from the tea shop in the front yard could take them out to buy clothes and go shopping on the street by the way, but who knew that Liu Niang's man was back again, and I didn't know what to say to her, so Liu Niang closed the shop and went back to the house with her man.

Xu Pingxian was bored, and sighed: "I don't know what the eldest brother is doing, is he selling things, or is he going to take a boat?" ”

Xu An rolled his eyes, ran to the outside of the arch, and leaned sideways to listen carefully.

Then he ran back and stabbed Xu Ping with a small bamboo stick and said, "Second brother, what do you say Liu Niang is doing in the house with her man?" Will there be another fight? ”

Xu Ping saw at a glance what his sister had in mind, and he warned: "Big brother said, if I take you to see anything lively, he will unscrew my ears." ”

Xu An grinned, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, how can the eldest brother know?" ”

This girl was actually pouting her brother to listen to the corner with her.

Xu Ping refused a few times, and couldn't bear Xu An's proficiency in crying, making trouble, and threatening three times, and finally was deceived by her, and the two first climbed from the wall of the west wing to the roof, and then tiptoed from the roof of the front yard to the roof of the east yard.

The place was at the junction of two houses, and the tiles were low enough to allow them to hide here and eavesdrop.

Xu Ping excitedly uncovered a piece of tile, carefully put it aside, and moved the angle to look into the house.

It's just that they can only see the bamboo couch in the side room, and they can't see the human figure.

"I can't see anyone." Xu Ping said to his sister silently.

Xu An frowned and motioned for him to listen carefully.

Xu Ping leaned over, only to hear the faint sound of Liu Niang and Wang Zhu talking in the house.

"Sister Liu, when are you willing to do the game? If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that kid will find out! ”

"You fool, his brother and sister are at home, where do I start? If you dislike me, just put a knife on his neck and ask him for a prescription! ”

"Hmph, what you said is true or false, I won't argue with you, I'll pretend not to be at home these days, you can pick a time, while his younger brothers and sisters are asleep, trick him into coming to our house, wouldn't it be easy to act? There happened to be those two little beasts here, and he didn't dare to make a noise, and he would definitely hand over the things happily! ”

Xu Ping and Xu An glanced at each other with shocked expressions.
