Traveling through mountains and rivers

I have been talking with Master Wu here for a long time, and my feelings are all nonsense. The adults denied it after a mouthful. Although Master Wu argued hard, it was useless. Ning Ze still wanted to talk to Master Wu again. again.

It's not so easy to talk to Mr. Wu. After all, Mr. Wu is a person who can be the master of the house. Naturally, the consideration in this is how much money they can make, not how many peaches they can eat.

With the comparison of Young Master Wu before, Ning Ze felt that he could not do three tricks under Master Wu. This serious businessman is different from half-assed people like them.

Master Wu didn't talk nonsense with Ning Ze at all, and asked immediately, "You haven't brought any peaches over here today? What you say is useless. Even with Dr. Mo's care, I have to read things before making a decision. After all, you are something that weighs a thousand catties, not one catty or two catties."

Ning Ze felt a little annoyed, why did he forget about this matter this morning, even if he brought one or two, he agreed!

Master Wu said that he really had nothing to say, and it was true, and business can't just be lip service.

Ning Ze thought for a while, and planned to turn a corner to talk to Mr. Wu, "Mr. Wu, I really don't have any peaches to show you now, but I want to know if Mr. Wu has the idea to buy my peaches. How about these peaches?" Let's not talk about it first, what do you say, Mr. Wu?"

The question was pushed back to Mr. Wu by Ning Ze. Mr. Wu touched the little beard on his chin and said, "If the peach is good, I will give you a thousand catties. If there is too much, I can't do anything. Alright, then I’m going to close the door to thank you.”

These words are straightforward, they don't know the exact number of peaches on the mountain now, but one thousand catties is definitely a large amount, and Master Wu probably gave Mo Qi a lot of face for asking for this amount.

Ning Ze nodded his thanks, "If so, then I would like to thank Mr. Wu. Don't worry, Mr. Wu, if my peaches are really crappy, I will not sell them, and Dr. Mo will not come forward to ask Mr. Wu. Whether something is true or not, Mr. Wu will know soon."

Master Wu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Well, we will see the real kung fu tomorrow."

The rest were discussed, but the price has not been mentioned yet, so Ning Ze asked one more question worriedly.

Master Wu said, "I won't tell you too much about the price, just like what you just said to my boy, give me twelve cents a catty, and how to sell it later is my business. It has nothing to do with you."

Twelve cents a catty is not that expensive, but it’s not cheap either. Brown rice only sells for ten cents a catty, which is worth a meal for the Tao family. Said that the peach was originally picked up by them.

Facing the price, Ning Ze said nothing, thanked Master Wu again, and Master Wu apologized to him for delaying his time just now, and finally Ning Ze stayed at Wu's house for lunch.

Wu Yan is completely restless, after his father went to work, he pestered Ning Ze to ask about their family's peaches.

Ning Ze was also a little helpless, you said you love everything, but he happened to meet someone who likes to eat peaches.

It just so happened that this person was the son of Mr. Wu, he must not be offended, so Ning Ze could only patiently introduce him, even what peaches tasted like.

Good thing after finishing speaking, the young master of the Wu family tended to start drooling, with a greedy look on his face, Ning Ze really couldn't laugh or cry, for a moment he really thought that the young master of the Wu family had taken the wrong medicine.

However, considering the young mind of the young master of the Wu family, Ning Ze didn't find it too strange.

After lunch, they left from Wu's house, and several other Ningze houses also visited, but it was just a simple visit, and they didn't say anything about peaches. Now they don't know how many peaches there are, and they have to satisfy Wu's family first. Besides, if there is not much left in the end, they can keep it for themselves and eat it, or give it to someone they know.

After he finished visiting these few houses, it was getting late, Ning Ze went to say hello to Mo Qi, bought a few catties of pork and two packs of sugar, and headed home.

Today was not a day for going to the market, there were no people on the road, and Ning Ze didn't meet any acquaintances until he arrived in the village. Ning Ze greeted them with a smile.

When they got home, the Tao family had set aside a special room for peaches. They carried ten baskets on their backs that day, and the house smelled like peaches.

When the Tao family saw that Ning Ze had returned, they all gathered around to ask him for news.

Seeing the eagerness of the Tao family, Ning Ze smiled, "Don't worry, we have already negotiated, as long as our peaches are good, we can sell them for a thousand catties. Daddy is going to ask about the bullock cart tonight. We will send it to the town early tomorrow morning."

One thousand catties, this figure is completely astronomical for the Tao family.

Tao Qing approached Ning Ze, and asked him in disbelief, "Ah Ze, are there really that many? Are they sold to Doctor Mo?"

Ning Ze nodded, "There are indeed so many, but they are not sold to Dr. Mo, but the person Dr. Mo helped find. His surname is Wu, and he is a wealthy businessman in the town."

"What about the money? How much is it per catty?" Tao Qing followed up.

"Twelve cents a catty, I don't know how much it sold for a catty before, but I calculated the price, and it's not bad."

There is nothing to say about the price, the Twelve Talented Tao family seems to have a lot of money, and this is all picked up money.

How much money can you get for a thousand catties!

Ning Ze's words gave the Tao family a reassurance. Looking at the pile of peaches in the house, they were not worried at all.

Since the peaches are going to be sent to the town tomorrow, I have to sort out all the peaches I have carried back tonight, and I can only pack them up and go to the town tomorrow.

There is no need to pick the peaches in the mountains, and they will pick them after the Wu family has received this batch of peaches.

When Ning Ze came back, he bought meat, and all of them were eaten that night, which was also a celebration of the money they were about to receive.

After dinner, Ning Ze discussed with Tao Qing, and took the wine he bought earlier and the candy he bought today, and went to the village chief's house together. The household registration matter has been delayed for so long, so it must be done quickly. If you can't buy it now, then you don't have to follow along. You have to deal with the household registration first, so that the Ning family will not be dragged to them when something happens.

Although it was not the first time for Ning Ze to meet the village chief, it was his first time to visit the village chief's house. When he arrived, the village chief's family was having dinner, and when they saw them, they warmly greeted them for dinner.

Tao Deshu and the village head are of the same generation, and it’s not easy to say that they don’t want to eat at the village head’s house, but they are both juniors, so the meaning is different. Fortunately, they came here after eating, so Ning Ze waved his hands quickly, “No, no, no , village chief, you eat, we came here after eating."

The village chief didn't say anything, and the village chief's husband called him several times to make sure that they really didn't want to eat before sitting down and continuing to eat.

The two of them were waiting at the door. It was just dark and a blurry shadow could still be seen. There was still wind outside, and it cost a little more to sit. Except for the mosquitoes, everything else was fine.

Mosquitoes at this time are not poisonous mosquitoes like modern mosquitoes, and even a single bite can cause some injuries. At this time, if you are bitten by a mosquito, at most it will itch for a while and form a pimple, and the pimple will disappear after a while. Disappeared by itself.

The two of them waited for a while, and then the village chief came out to call them. Ning Ze and Tao Qing came with something, so naturally they had something to do with him.

The rest of the village chief's family was still eating, and no one bothered them while they were talking.

The village chief asked, "It's getting dark today, what's the matter with you two coming to see me?"

Ning Ze said, "Village Chief, we are here to ask you to help run errands to apply for the household registration. You also know that we have nothing to do with the Ning family now, and the household registration will naturally be moved out. I was too busy to take care of it earlier. , I'm not busy now, so I have to do it naturally."

The village head thought they had other things to do, so he just applied for household registration, which was no problem for him. As the village head, he went to the yamen a lot, most of them for the household registration, and a few for the fields , The matter of household registration has long been familiar.

The village head nodded and said, "Sure, I'll go and run for you tomorrow, just the two of you?"

Ning Ze didn't expect such a saying. Apart from him and Tao Qing, there were three younger children in their family.

Ning Ze didn't know the rules here, but the child belonged to his family, so the household registration must be registered, so Ning Ze said, "Village chief, give the three children of my family together. This child grows up fast. It won't be long before I become an adult, and I can't do without a household registration."

The village chief looked at Ning Ze as if he was looking at a prodigal son, which made Ning Ze confused. So he turned his head to look at Tao Qing, hoping that Tao Qing could give him some advice.

Tao Qing didn't understand the household registration either. He had never done household registration before, and his father had done all these things before, so he didn't even know about it.

On the other side, the village chief looked at the two of them, and explained kindly, "Yaoze, Qingzi, the three children in your family are all brothers, and sooner or later the brothers will marry. You have to follow along, even if you don’t apply for household registration now, it’s fine, why bother to spend such a waste of money.”

After saying this, Ning Ze and Tao Qing understood.

However, Ning Ze felt that this household registration must be done for sure, and it cannot be dismissed just because he is a brother. They are a family, so how could there be no child's name on the household registration.

Ning Ze said to the village chief, "Village chief, the child's household registration still needs to be done, and the money can be earned. This person is a family, and the name must be missing. Even if he is a brother, he is still a child of my family. Ah Qing and I don't want to Disrespecting the children."

Hearing Ning Ze's words, the village chief knew that he seemed to insist on it. Ning Ze said he wanted to do it, and he, an outsider, couldn't say no.

So the village chief said, "Success, you wait, I'll get a pen and write down the names of the children, so as not to make a mistake when I go to town tomorrow."

After the village chief finished speaking, he got up, and Ning Ze took the opportunity to ask Tao Qing the names of the three children.

"Ah Qing, what's the name of Putao and the others? It's still called Putao when they can't get their household registration, right?"

Tao Qing shook his head at him, "Ah Ze, Putao and the others don't have a name. Before you, they didn't plan to give them a household registration, so they didn't give them a name at all."

Hearing this, the Ning family, which had a bad image in his heart, deepened a bad impression.

The ancients used to choose names according to their seniority, but Ning Ze didn't know what his next generation was, so he had to ask Tao Qing for help.

Tao Qing was somewhat resistant to the seniority of the Ning family, obviously because he was too angry in Ningze before.

Tao Qing said, "Pao and the others are brothers, so they don't need to be named according to their seniority, Aze, this name is up to you to think about!"

Asked him to choose a name, Ning Ze scratched his head, this is really hard to say.

All three are elder brothers, even if they are not named according to the seniority of the Ning family, the middle character can still be the same.

Ning Ze pondered for a while before coming up with three names.

"Ah Qing, listen to these names, Ning Siyang, Ning Siyu, Ning Siyun. If you want to be pampered, you should choose a nice name."

"Ning Siyang, Ning Siyu, Ning Siyun." Tao Qing muttered softly, then nodded to Ning Ze, "Success, I will use these three names. Ning Siyang is the grape, and Douzi The name is Ning Siyu, and Peanut is called Ning Siyun. Let the village chief write it down later."

As soon as Tao Qing finished speaking, the village chief came out with a set of writing tools in his hand, the village chief looked like he was holding it carefully, but it was a treasure.

The village chief sat down and said, "Come on, tell me your names now, and I'll write them down, so that tomorrow I won't make a mistake."

Ning Ze reported his name and age. After the village chief finished writing, Tao Qing began to report, and after writing his, he would talk about the children.

After hearing the names, the village chief praised them for their well-chosen names.

Whoever chose this name can be heard by the village chief. The people of the Ning family can't come up with such a good name.

The village head wrote down the names and ages one by one, and was waiting to go to the Yamen to apply for household registration tomorrow.

Ning Ze asked the village chief, "Village chief, how much does this trip cost? We have to see if there is enough money, and if not, we have to figure out a way."

The village chief stared at the five names on the paper, and then said, "This trip will cost at least two taels of silver. The three of your children are all brothers. It's cheaper, just the two of you." It will cost some money to separate from the Ning family and resettle."

Ning Ze nodded, "Village Chief, I'll trouble you then, Ah Qing and I will go back and collect the money first, and send it to you in the morning."

Ning Ze didn't give the money right away. In the impression of the village chief, they won't be able to come up with so much money for a while, so it's better to send it over tomorrow morning.

Knowing their current situation, the village chief waved his hand without saying anything, "Then, you guys go back first, and the money will be delivered tomorrow, and the other things should be left to me."

Ning Ze and Tao Qing got up and walked home. Once the household registration was confirmed, they would be able to worry about one more thing.
