Crossing the Farmland Happy Events

Chapter 14 Da Zhuang was stunned

Ye Chengliang wanted to borrow an ox cart because he planned to go into the town to buy glutinous rice and corn. Although these things are available in the village, they are a minority after all. If you really want to make a lot of caramel, it is not enough at all, and asking door to door is not only a waste It’s a waste of time, and you can bargain if you go to the town to buy a lot. In the end, it’s almost the same as buying in the village. This is the same thing as wholesale things in modern times. It's just a bit of a hassle to come back.

Zhang Dazhuang spent several days cultivating land on the mountain, and he was exhausted. Ye Chengliang made a deal with him and asked him to take a day off and go to the county to buy caramel materials together.Zhang Dazhuang knew that Ye Chengliang couldn't drive an ox cart, and how could Ye Chengliang, with his slender arms and legs, be able to carry heavy things?So he agreed, and decided to go to town with Ye Chengliang after paying off Wang Jinhua's gift money with his mother.

Wang Jinhua dressed very festively today. Although she didn't have her grandson in her arms, she felt suffocated to death, but in order to show her magnanimity, she not only took out the clothes she wore during the New Year and festivals, but also said that girls from the Zhang family Jingui must be a lucky person, she is the daughter of Linsheng now, maybe she will be the daughter of Juren after autumn.Besides, life in this family is good, the children are young, and boys can be born again in the future, right?

Li Jinge heard Wang Jinhua's sharp and loud voice comforting herself from a long distance away, and smiled disdainfully, then heard Ye Chengliang come over and whisper something in her ear.She was even happier when she heard this, and took out the wedding money wrapped in advance, walked over and said: "I will give it to Qiufeng of your family to nurse, and I wish you a grandson as soon as possible."

Wang Jinhua snatched away the wedding money like a grab, counted how much was in it, and said: "That must be a grandson before you, Dali married a wife and became a father after all, unlike your family, who is big and strong, The shoes are torn and the toes are exposed, there is not even a sole for the shoe, just look at it, then it is not a mother-in-law."

Li Jinge knew that Wang Jinhua would talk about these things long ago, so he was not angry at all this time, and said according to what Ye Chengliang taught her just now: "Yes, yes, my Dazhuang is indeed not my own, but this is not The biological ones also know how to respect my mother, and when the weather is warm, they also know how to get me a pair of cotton clothes. Unlike some people, the younger ones are all dressed decently, and the older ones are still wearing big cotton at this time. What's the use of being beautiful ?It's hot and sweaty."

Everyone took a look, everyone who came to give wedding money today had changed into two-padded clothes, and some who were not afraid of the cold only wore two single clothes, but this Wang Jinhua was wearing winter clothes.The material is good, but it’s scary that it’s going to be very hot, right?When I looked again, my forehead was really sweaty, and I didn't know if it was from anger or heat.

"You fart! My old lady wears silk and satin, and your ragged cotton clothes are so easy to talk about!" Wang Jinhua was furious!After her son was admitted to the preparatory school, the family made a face for him, and at the same time, he didn't want his son to look shabby in front of his classmates, so he always dressed well.But no matter how good life is at home, they are just farmers. How can everyone eat well and dress well?As a mother, she naturally needs to save some time.

"I'm still willing to wear these cotton clothes. Besides, it's normal for this farmer to wear cotton clothes, but it's a strange sight for an old sow to wear a gold necklace?" After speaking, Li Jinge turned his head and left.After the people behind figured out what she meant, they couldn't help being happy, and Wang Jinhua was so angry that he cursed Zhang Dazhuang for not being able to find a wife in the future.

Li Jinge must have been pissed off before, but now she thinks about it, she thinks what A Liang said is right, if she has money in the future, why don't she just pick a good woman? !

Seeing that his mother was in a good mood, Zhang Dazhuang followed suit, and asked with a smile, "Mother, do you want to go home or go to town with us?"

Li Jinge thought for a while and said: "Go home, I have bad legs, don't slow down your journey by entering the town. Besides, my mother can see some things now, so I can't guard against things at home. "

As soon as Zhang Dazhuang heard this, he and Ye Chengliang sent Li Jinge home, and then went to the village head's house to catch a bullock cart and go to town.

Having nothing to do along the way, Zhang Dazhuang had nothing to say, "Ah Liang, now this mountain land has more than an acre, what should we plant by then?"

Ye Chengliang held a straw in his mouth and turned his back to Zhang Dazhuang, saying: "Planting wheat, and expanding the vegetable garden at home, when you save money, you will come back, and you will work hard to open up all the land. Whatever you plant, you can listen to me.”

Zhang Dazhuang said "Hey!", feeling very happy in his heart. He always felt that life became better and better after Ye Chengliang arrived at his house. He ate comfortably every day, so even if he went up and down the mountain every day and worked hard I don't feel tired.

Ye Chengliang heard Zhang Dazhuang smirking, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhang Dazhuang said with some embarrassment: "I want to marry a virtuous and good woman like Liu's sister-in-law when the land is opened. How about you, Ah Liang? What do you like?"

The straw in Ye Chengliang's mouth stopped shaking suddenly, and he said after a moment of silence: "I like tall and strong ones, and they are strong and strong at first glance."

Zhang Dazhuang's simple and honest face briefly showed a stunned expression, "Then, so strong?! Then what if you can't beat her? What if she bullies you?"

Ye Chengliang slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and tapped Zhang Dazhuang twice with a straw, "An idiot is an idiot."

Zhang Dazhuang looked at Ye Chengliang in bewilderment, he couldn't figure it out, but he felt that Ah Liang was very beautiful when he smiled, so he decided that no matter what he said in the future, he would not let Ah Liang marry such a scary woman.

Ye Chengliang looked at Zhang Dazhuang's wide back shoulders, and suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he went to a friend's construction site when he had nothing to do, just to see if he looked good and seductive, but unfortunately he was always disappointed.But this Zhang Dazhuang is much more interesting, he is thick, strong, and good-looking, but he is very innocent, making people always want to bully him, which is very interesting.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they arrived in the town quickly, but since they had to go back earlier, they didn't delay much, and went directly to the grain store.Ye Chengliang was well prepared before coming here, and he also asked He Yan where he could buy wheat, and even confirmed the price with Liu Datong.

The shopkeeper in the grain store raised his eyes and saw the customers coming in, well dressed and looking good, and asked quickly, "What does this little brother want to buy?"

Ye Chengliang said: "I want to buy some glutinous rice and unhulled wheat, does the shopkeeper have them here?"

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, unhulled wheat costs two renminbi a catty, first-class glutinous rice costs five renminbi a catty, second-class glutinous rice costs four renminbi a catty, and worse ones cost only three renminbi. How much do you want? "

"Let's have a look first. If it's successful, I want to buy more." Ye Chengliang said, looking around the room.There are only some rice noodles and oil here, but no wheat.

The shopkeeper saw that the people came with an ox cart, and the ox was still tied outside, and a tall man was watching, so he said, "Come with me."

Ye Chengliang followed the shopkeeper to the backyard, only to find that there is a special storage place for grain. The glutinous rice is marked with one, two, and three grades, and the same is true for rice and corn.Ye Chengliang looked at the quality of the glutinous rice, and found that the ones worth four renminbi a catty were similar to the ones from Liu Datong's family, while the ones at five renminbi a catty were better, so he said to the shopkeeper: "Buy more, the shopkeeper will be cheaper." ?”

The shopkeeper is also a real person, so he said bluntly: "It is cheaper to buy more than [-] catties, but little brother, can you buy so much?"

Fifty catties is only half a sack, Ye Chengliang said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you really like to joke, what do I bring the cow here for only fifty catties? Why don't my brother carry it away by himself?"

The shopkeeper thought about it, so he asked, "How much will it cost?"

Ye Chengliang made some calculations in his mind, pointed to the first-class glutinous rice and said, "I want four hundred catties of this first-class glutinous rice, and a catty will cost me three Wen. Can you see it, the shopkeeper?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his beard was raised with anger, how can there be such a bargain!Then he said: "That's impossible. If you want four hundred catties, I can give you four and a half pennies a catty. Three pennies is absolutely impossible. This is a small business. Brother, you have to look at this Isn’t the color of the rice fine?”

Ye Chengliang said in his heart that of course I have to look at the quality, but I still think that four and a half pennies are expensive, so I didn't ask this for now, and asked instead: "Then what is the price of corn kernels?"

The shopkeeper said: "That one is cheaper, the first-class one costs three Wen per catty, and the second-class one costs two Wen per catty."

Ye Chengliang showed a little embarrassed look, "Shopkeeper, I want four hundred catties of first-class glutinous rice and one hundred catties of first-class corn groats, can you count me as cheaper? I don't just buy it this time, I will buy it later. Will come to buy more often.”

The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and felt that he would earn too little in this way, but if he could really become a long-term buyer, it would be really good, so he said: "Well, first-class glutinous rice will be worth four cents a catty for you. , As for the corn kernels themselves, there is not much income, so I will charge you three Wen."

When Ye Chengliang heard it, he showed a regretful expression, "Then I'll go to another place to have a look. Glutinous rice is not bad for four cents a catty, but these corn kernels are a bit more expensive."

When the shopkeeper saw that the person was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped him, "Don't, little brother, if you buy it sincerely, we'll count it up!"

Ye Chengliang: "First-class glutinous rice costs four cents a catty, and first-class corn kernels cost two and a half cents a catty. If you think it works, find someone to load it for me, or else forget it. I bought it sincerely, so you should be more affordable, right? "

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and shouted directly behind the door: "Third brother, come out to work!"

Zhang Dazhuang had been watching the bullock cart outside, and now he also came in.The shopkeeper asked his son to go out to look at the bullock cart, and asked Da Zhuang to help him.Originally, Ye Chengliang thought that manpower should not be used, but after thinking about it, he should watch something to prevent these people from doing things, so he told Da Zhuang what kind of rice and what kind of corn kernels, and how much.After speaking, he pointed to the door, "I'll go to the cloth shop to buy some materials for shoe uppers, and I'll be back soon."

Ye Chengliang used to buy clothing materials, but the materials used to make shoe uppers were not suitable. At most, he would take out pieces of clothes that he could not wear before and make them into soles, but he still had to buy black cloth for shoe uppers.As for whether Da Zhuang would be deceived if he was so honest, he wasn't worried about it, anyway, he hadn't been paid yet, besides, honest people are sometimes the most difficult to deceive, because they are more determined.

Thinking of Zhang Dazhuang's brain with few circuits, Ye Chengliang entered Wangji Cloth Village with a smile.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Ye Chengliang: Da Zhuang, take good care of Mi, don't let anyone change the bag.

Zhang Dazhuang: Don't worry!If he dares to lie to me, I can deal with him!

Ye Chengliang: Hey, how do you clean up?

Zhang Dazhuang: I'll take the shopkeeper home!Let them take good rice to redeem!

Ye Chengliang: ...
