Sell cinnamon
After the morning's incident, Zhao Lingling understood the Li family, although she is not easy to get along with, but for her children and relatives, she still cares in her heart, from her full head of silver and sad face, as well as the expression of Zhao Laosan, these can't deceive people.
People in the village said that Old Man Zhao and the Li family should take the children of the third room back to the old house to raise them. But the Li family refused, this is not because the Li family is ruthless, but because there are many people in the old mansion and it is complicated. A few children who have no fathers and mothers may suffer in the past.
Stay in your own yard, you can do whatever you like, and no one will bully you.
"Okay." Looking at Zhao Fuling's serious expression, and thinking about what she had experienced over the years, Zhao Guihua nodded firmly, and then turned to leave.
Just as Zhao Guihua left for a while, Gu Zheng and Zhao Dongqing came back.
"Sister, brother-in-law and second brother are back." Zhao Fuling was still cleaning the stone mortar just now, when she heard Zhao Nanxing shouting at the gate of the courtyard.
"Got it."
After packing up her things, Zhao Lingling also came out, only to see Gu Zheng and Zhao Dongqing both sweating profusely.
"Where have you been?"
"Sister, didn't you say that you took all the herbs in the yard and sold them, my brother-in-law and I packed up before dawn and went out, and you didn't dare to wake you up when you were still sleeping."
Zhao Dongqing took the water handed over by Zhao Nanxing, and gulped a few gulps.
"Give."
Gu Zheng, who had always been silent on the other side, handed a coarse cloth purse in his hand to Zhao Fuling.
Zhao Fuling took the purse and shook it in her hand, which was jingling, it seemed that it should be a pile of copper coins.
"Sister, this is what we sell herbs, a total of five taels and 680 copper coins." Zhao Dongqing counted on the side.
"Five taels more?" Zhao Fuling looked at the two of them, and then at a small basket behind them.
"Sister really only sold so much, if you don't believe it, you can ask the shopkeeper Tong." Seeing Zhao Fuling's suspicious look, Zhao Dongqing hurriedly explained, afraid that Zhao Fuling would not believe it.
"I believe you, I just want to know, our family doesn't have so many herbs, how did you sell them for so much money?" Zhao Fuling looked at the two people in front of her with a serious face.
Usually, when Zhao Laosan was alive, there was a large amount of herbs, so the herbs could be sold for four or five taels at a time, which was also relatively solid in the entire Xinghua Village, otherwise Zhao Laosan would not have been able to separate the family and build a house by himself not long after.
"Huh?" Zhao Dongqing's whole person began to be confused, he was still worried about Sister A just now thinking that they had embezzled the money.
"Huh?" Zhao Fuling looked at the two again.
Gu Zheng's face was calm, but he was not ready to explain. Zhao Dongqing glanced at his brother-in-law, drooped his head and said, "Sister, we sold a piece of cinnamon." ”
"Cinnamon?" Zhao Fuling searched for information in her brain, how could she not remember that there was cinnamon at home.
"The last time my brother-in-law found it in the mountains, my brother-in-law sawed a lot of it and came back to dry it, but I didn't expect it to be sold for a good price today." When Zhao Dongqing talked about money, he was very excited.
"How much did it sell?" Zhao Fuling was not excited, only more than five taels, she now has more than a hundred taels of silver, a proper little rich woman.
"The shopkeeper Tong said that the cinnamon is of high age and good color, and he gave three taels of silver." Zhao Dongqing said that he was very excited.
"If you sold so much silver, why don't you buy something and come back?" Zhao Fuling looked at the two young men in front of her, and then looked at the empty back basket behind them.
It's really depressing, there is nothing to eat at home, don't they know?
"Sister, you didn't let us buy anything." Zhao Dongqing swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice.
They wanted to buy it, but when they remembered what Zhao Fuling had done before, the two of them set off before dawn, and they didn't even sit in the ox cart back and forth, let alone buy things.
"You ......" Zhao Fuling suddenly wanted to say, are you stupid? I didn't say I wouldn't buy it if I didn't buy it, right?
But in Mu Ran's mind, there was a picture in which Zhao Dongqing bought a chicken leg for Nanxing without permission, and she lifted a stick and chased Zhao Dongqing to run three terriers......
"Okay, let's take a break, and I'll go make the rabbit braised later." Zhao Fuling didn't know how to hide her embarrassment, so she turned around and went to the house after explaining.
Back in the room, Zhao Fuling poured out all the silver in her purse, just a few taels of silver and copper coins. She took a look at it, and sure enough, there was no shortage of copper plates, and Zhao Fuling couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth with a touch of arc.
It seems that the original owner still has some deterrent power in this family. However, this money cannot solve the current situation of the Zhao family, the house needs to be repaired, and it is about to enter winter, and it is still necessary to prepare things for the winter........
All at once, the money is simply not enough.
It was lunch time after a while, Zhao Dongqing and Gu Zheng cooked very quickly, and after a while, a large pot of fragrant braised rabbit meat was served on the table.
Zhao Fuling came out of the house, looked at Zhao Nanxing who couldn't wait to serve the table, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
"Little gluttonous cat." Zhao Fuling walked to Zhao Nanxing's side, reached out and rubbed his head melon, then took out a large thick bowl and used chopsticks to put a lot of meat and some wild vegetables and mushrooms in the pot.
"Sister, what are you doing here?" Zhao Nanxing watched Zhao Poria pick up the meat one by one, not for himself, and Zhao Nanxing's eyes were about to fall.
"For Grandpa and Grandma. Nanxing's grandma helped us in the morning, we have to thank her, don't you say? Looking at the little gluttonous cat with a reluctant look, Zhao Fuling comforted her.
"Well, my sister and father said that we want to repay our kindness!" Eating is important, but he understands the truth of retribution.
Zhao Fuling looked at Zhao Nanxing, who was snorting, and couldn't help pinching his face. "Nanxing is such a good boy."
"Sister, I'll send it over." Zhao Dongqing came out of the house with dishes and chopsticks and replied loudly.
When he was in the kitchen, he and Gu Zheng listened to Zhao Nanxing talk about what happened in the field this morning.
"Okay, then you go and come back quickly, we will wait for you to eat." Zhao Fuling handed the bowl to Zhao Dongqing.
Seeing Zhao Dongqing leaving, Zhao Nanxing was still sitting on the table, his eyes motionless as he looked at the braised rabbit meat in the pot, but he still couldn't help but didn't move his chopsticks.
Gu Zheng came out of the backyard with a fluffy white thing in his hand, and when he looked closely, it was a rabbit skin.
The white rabbit skin was neat and tidy, without a trace of miscellaneous hair and bad traces, Zhao Fuling couldn't help but exclaim: "This rabbit skin is so well peeled." ”
"Well, I'll make a scarf for you in the winter or something." Gu Zheng nodded a little happily and said.
"For me?" Zhao Lingling was surprised for a moment.
"For you." Gu Zheng nodded again in confirmation.
"Wow! It's beautiful! Zhao Fuling hurriedly stepped forward and carefully rummaged through the fur in Gu Zheng's hand.
"Morning ...... Are you okay? Looking at the happy people in front of him, Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
He was careless in the morning, and he didn't notice that Chen still had this thought.
"Hey, it's okay, grandma has solved it." Zhao Lingyun passed by lightly in the breeze.
Just as the two were still talking, Zhao Dongqing came back.
"Sister, the second brother is back, can we eat?" As soon as Zhao Nanxing saw Zhao Dongqing's figure, he hurriedly called Zhao Ling.
Hearing Zhao Nanxing's call, Gu Zheng and Zhao Fuling looked at each other and smiled.
"It's okay, you little glutton." Zhao Fuling strode to the dining table, and was the first to hand the dishes and chopsticks to Zhao Nanxing.
And Gu Zheng also sat down after drying the rabbit skin.
"Sister, Grandma said that she would let the second uncle send us all the rice over in a while." Zhao Dongqing said as he walked, and the thick bowl he was holding in his hand was slowly and carefully covered by his sleeves.
"Holly, what's in your hand?" Looking at Zhao Dongqing's cautious appearance, Zhao Lingling opened her mouth and asked.
"Shh I saw him make a silent gesture.
Everyone looked at him suspiciously, what was the god doing mysteriously?
"What's wrong?" Zhao Fuling asked in a low voice, and even the greedy Zhao Nanxing stopped his chopsticks.
