Chief Assistant Daddy: Mother Koi is a big villain

"Ma'am, this, this thing is really not poisonous, don't worry, my family and I have eaten it all winter." Fang Xiaofei stammered.

I don't know if it's because of the heat or because of nervousness, his forehead to the tip of his nose is covered with dense sweat.

It looked so pitiful.

While thinking, Gu Yuzhu bent down and picked up a sweet potato.

When they got closer, they saw that these sweet potatoes were already a little wilted, and some of them had sprouts.

But sweet potatoes mature in autumn and winter, and they can be stored in the cellar after harvest for up to half a year. It is not easy to maintain the current state.

"You sweet potato, how do you sell it?"

"Nowadays the price of rice is seven cents per bucket, and the amount of sweet potatoes here is almost one bucket. If Madam wants it, five cents is enough." Fang Xiaofei said this carefully.

It was also the first time he sold this kind of thing, so he didn't know the selling price.

Seeing that Gu Yuzhu frowned, he hurriedly added: "If madam thinks it's expensive, four dollars... no, three dollars is fine."

He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, it can't go any lower. My younger brother is in a hurry to see a doctor.

"I don't think your price is high, it's just that you don't have loose money with you." Gu Yuzhu saw that the young man's face had turned pale with anxiety, so she quickly spoke to appease him, "Besides, you can also see that it's not convenient for me to pick this thing now. I wonder if you can deliver the things to my house?"

Fang Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course there is no problem."

Gu Yuzhu put the things in his hand back into the basket, went downstairs to settle the bill, and then went back home.

Fang Xiaofei carried a pick of sweet potatoes on his shoulders, and at first he followed Gu Yuzhu without distraction, but gradually he realized that they were not heading in the right direction.

This seems to be... the way to the Yamen!

Reed!

Fang Xiaofei slammed on the brakes.

He stood there dumbfounded, his head completely covered.

Could it be that this lady also thought that the thing he was selling was poisonous, but she was afraid that others would run away, so she used this roundabout way to trick him into the yamen?

No, no!He must not be caught in the Yamen!He has to run!

Fang Xiaofei was determined to leave, but a hand was put on his shoulder, "What are you doing here?"

Su Ziyi stared at him suspiciously.

Fang Xiaofei concealed his panic, and dryly found a reason: "I, I suddenly feel a stomachache, and I want to find a latrine, young master, or else, can you wait for me for a while?"

Su Ziyi stared at his pale face, looked again and again, and said calmly: "It's almost here, it's only two steps away, and there is a hut in the mansion, which is much more convenient than going outside."

Fang Xiaofei opened his mouth, anxious.

He still wanted to find a reason, but Gu Yuzhu, who was walking ahead with three small milk bags, heard the movement, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Ziyi frowned and said, "He doesn't want to go with us."

The excuse was ruthlessly dismantled, Fang Xiaofei's eyes flashed with panic, and he quickly explained: "No, that's not the case, I just have unbearable abdominal pain..."

But his guilty expression was really not convincing.

Gu Yuzhu probably guessed why he was so flustered, and comforted him softly: "You don't have to worry, our family happens to live here, so we didn't take you to meet an official."

Seeing that the boy's expression didn't improve a bit, she paused, and she resorted to a unique trick.

"If you send this thing to my home, I will give you a tael of silver for the things here."

Money bombing.

Fang Xiaofei's eyes lit up, one tael of silver was already a huge sum of money for a poor family like his.

He struggled for only a moment before being defeated by the huge sum of money. He summoned up his courage and said, "I, I'll take you home and then go to the latrine."

At this time, he still didn't forget to tell a lie for himself.

Gu Yuzhu didn't intend to expose him, but thinking that he was so afraid of the Yamen, he didn't take him in through the main entrance, but walked around to the alley and led him in through the small door behind.

When stepping in, Fang Xiaofei felt as if he was stepping on a cloud.

Isn't he dreaming?This is the backyard of the yamen, right?

What is the identity of this lady?

"Just put your things here." Gu Yuzhu casually pointed to a corner, and took out a piece of silver from his purse to give him, "This is your reward."

Fang Xiaofei took the money in trepidation, but found that the weight was not right, "This...it's more than one or two taels of silver, madam..."

He has seen a tael of silver, but there is only one small one. The weight of this one in his hand is about two or three taels.

"It's okay." Gu Yuzhu waved his hand, "Actually, I still have a business I want to talk to you about."

"What business?" Fang Xiaofei didn't understand.

"You still have sweet potatoes at home. It doesn't matter if they are not ripe." Gu Yuzhu endured the excitement, "Just wait until they are ripe, can you sell them to me? In terms of price, I can give you more. If you If you are short of money, I can give you a deposit first."

Now that it is summer, sweet potatoes may not survive if they are planted again. The best way is to wait until next year to plant again.

"You want them all?" Fang Xiaofei seemed to be hit by a huge pie, his hands were trembling with excitement, "Yes, of course, thank you Ma'am, I, I have three acres of wasteland in my house, all of which are sweet potatoes, you, you If you want, you can let someone go and see it with me."

"Also." Gu Yuzhu felt that this was also a solution. After thinking about it, she asked Su Ziyi to call two officials over.

There have always been official servants in the Yamen, but they are all at the front. What she has to do is for the sake of the people's livelihood, so it is reasonable to order people to run errands.

When the two officials heard that the county magistrate's wife had called them over, they ran so courteously.

"Ma'am, what orders do you have?"

Gu Yuzhu didn't delay, and directly ordered them to go now.

Seeing a few people leave, Gu Yuzhu hummed a little tune in a good mood, but heard Su Ziyi suddenly shout: "Second treasure!"

Gu Yuzhu turned her head quickly, and saw Erbao holding a big sweet potato in his hand, with a bulging mouth.

There was a suspicious gap in the sweet potato.

"Erbao, did you bite?" Gu Yuzhu asked amusedly.

Er Bao shook his head first, then nodded guiltyly, and spat out the piece of sweet potato that was still in his mouth.

"Bah! Bah!" Er Bao spit out a few mouthfuls of sand.

Su Ziyi worried: "Sister Yuzhu, is this thing really non-poisonous?"

"Don't worry." Gu Yuzhu patted him on the shoulder and deliberately asked Erbao, "Is it delicious?"

Er Bao muttered: "It's not delicious at all, mother, we have been deceived."

He clearly saw that brother eating deliciously in the restaurant before.

"This food is not eaten like this." Gu Yuzhu couldn't help laughing, pinched his milky cheek, "I'll make it for you later."

But when she mentioned this, she remembered the maids she had bought, and wondered if they had arrived.
