Fields of Gold

Chapter 170 Selling melons

Lee is not the only one who wants to go through the back door! Little Grass's second aunt, a man of pointy acidity, is not a light-hearted woman. She heard from her cousin who married Dongshan Village that Zhou Family Workshop first recruited closely in Dongshan Village and immediately began to move her mind - if Zhou Family Workshop was full of people in Dongshan Village, then she would be fine?

This Hu clan carried her father and grandmother behind her back and forced Little Grass's honest second uncle to come with her to Dongshan Village. Why doesn't she do it herself? She's ashamed!

When Yu Xiaohua's family split up, Granny gave him a few taels of silver, and she held on to it for a long time. Every time she met with Liu and Yu's family, she stressed that the yin and yang were strange.

The saying is, "It makes sense to set aside a line and meet each other in the future." I didn't expect the rest of the family to turn around in a few months, not only to pay off the silver, but also to meet rich businessmen in town. She hasn't brushed her face into Li's yet. How can she ask for help when she was treating people like that?

Hu and his wife got up early in the morning, and by the time they got to Dongshan Village, it was already sunrise. Two people in the rest of the old house, empty. Ask Yuhang, who harvests seafood next to him, the watermelon is ripe, the family is busy in the ground!

“Uncle, Auntie, sit in the yard for a while. It's almost noon and my mother is about to go home to cook...” Yuhang smiled and greeted politely.

Hu Shi waved impatiently, "No, no! We were just on our way to the ground to help. Sha, you're busy! ”

When Liuhan came to help the whole land, he knew where Yujia's three acres of sandy land was, and he didn't need to be led to Guan Tian with his own mother-in-law.

Hu Shi whispered: “His father, did you see the long squad selling the seafood platoon? I'm afraid your sister's family made a lot of money just for this, huh? ”

“People make money! Our village doesn't come to the sea. It's not lucky if you want to make money!” The honest man from Liu Han speaks really well and makes people sound uncomfortable.

Hu Shi glanced at him and said: "We can't take seafood at home, but when they can't help us, they can come and help us! Look, your brother-in-law's cousin, I don't believe he's here for free? How much good is it? ”

“People are close, it's also convenient to come and help!! Yujiang is a good man and a real man. My brother-in-law chose the right man!” Liu Han didn't understand what his daughter-in-law meant, and was itchy with Hu's teeth.

“Humph! Your sister is also a misguided woman! I couldn't think of anything good...” Hu finally said his heart.

Liu Han glanced at her and said: "Our family is not like your mother's. The brothers are not doing anything right. They always want to shave some oil from their married daughter! Look at all your sisters. Your mother's brothers are making a mess of it! If it weren't for our parents' generosity, would you have a good life at home? ”

Hu's voice suddenly softened. “We were just talking about your sister. Why are you talking about my house? I don't want to have a brother like that...”

Liu Han glanced at her and said: “We all know what it was like when my sister split up. Her family just had a better life. We can't be messy as sister-in-law! I waited to see Mu Yun and tell him about it. If she can help you, if she can't help you, you can't say anything bad, remember? ”

Hu's mouth is bad, a little selfish. She can still hear the words of her lords: “I remember, we are here to beg for help after all. I'll be sure to keep my mouth shut! ”

Talking room, came to Guan Tian side. The melons of green oil spread, and a large melon sunk its belly. The rest of the family is in the watermelon field, bending over and tapping gently on the watermelon to find ripe picks from it. On the ground, watermelons are already piled high.

“Oh, my God! This is a watermelon. It's really big. Not to mention a dozen or twenty pounds? Forget about our little village. It's rare in town, isn't it? Father, how much do you think it costs?” Hu's curiously surrounded the watermelon pile, his mouth twitching.

Yu Xiaograss held a ripe watermelon slightly and twisted it. Liu Han saw, hurried up and took the watermelon in her hand.

“Uncle, what are you doing here? In the morning, I talked to my mother about you and your uncle!” Yu Xiaoxue doesn't really like Hu, but he doesn't have any aversion to this slightly mundane uncle.

Liu Han put the watermelon in his hand in the watermelon pile, rubbing his hand, and smiled. “Your second aunt wants to go to Zhou's workshop to work. Don't know if they have enough people? I came with her to ask. ”

Yu Xiaograss glanced at Hu Shi, staring at the watermelon. "There are still a few workers left to dry the fans, people who need careful patience, men and women alike...”

Liu Han, hey, hey, smile. "Don't look at your aunt. She's not very good at what she says. She's a good worker! ”

Hu's ears flanked, listening, scared to miss something. Rumor has it that she was desperate to turn her head around.

Yu Xiaocao looked down and thought, “Well, I'll go with Aunt Er this afternoon. However, if the fan workshop is to sign a confidentiality agreement, if it leaks the way to be a fan, it will cost you money and go to jail! ”

Hu's busy swearing: “Grass, don't worry! I would never say half a word in a workshop!... Just now, you said you were looking for your uncle and second uncle, what is it? ”

Hu's eyes looked at the pile of watermelons. Over there, the Liu family is busy weighing the watermelon for Wang Er Dog.

Speaking of Wang Er Dog, ever since Little Grass promised him to sell watermelons on credit, he has been very fond of Yujia's watermelon fields. When you encounter the watering of the grass and Master Yuhai, you will also grab some water to help pick up. In the evening, he will also come and help watch the melon, so that Yuhai can take a few days off home instead.

In the last few days, he's been visiting Guan Tian almost every day. Knowing that the rest of the family picked the melon today, they came to help before dawn. Though he doesn't really know how to cook a melon, he helps transport it to the ground one by one. In the morning, I sweat harder than I work in my own house!

He had already fixed his trolley at home and was ready to push it to the docks today. He knew Yujia was opening a melon shop in town, and he was going to go to town to sell melons, so he took a break from this thought. When it comes to selling things, eight of them are no better than one weed. North-south passenger and passenger ships on the pier have good daily passenger traffic, and there should be plenty of rich people. So he followed Grass's advice and went to the pier to open the market.

“Grass, you said I don't really recognize scales. What if I lose?” Wang Er Dog was a schoolless man before, and has only slightly converged since he married his daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law was quite capable, and hardly anything could defeat her. But isn't his daughter-in-law carrying a doll? Why would he want his daughter-in-law running back and forth to the pier?

Yu Xiaoxue smiled at him. “It's simple! A bigger watermelon, 20 pounds, you get it from here for a wholesale price of 150 cents a pound, the cost is three taels. In town, you sell five taels of silver! Four taels for the smaller one, and ten pounds for the smaller one. Three taels for the smaller one, that's it! ”

Before Wang Er Dog could react, Hu Shi shouted: “What? Five taels of silver for a melon? Five taels of silver enough for a family to eat and drink for six months? Can you sell it? ”

Liu Han pulled down his daughter-in-law, staring at her eyes: “If you can't speak, don't say anything. Nobody treats you as a mute!! ”

Wang Er Dog smiled uncomfortably: “Sister Liu, people like us can't afford to spend a few taels of silver to buy a watermelon. But there are a lot of rich men at the pier, our watermelon, the water tastes sweet, and it's the only one, there's nowhere else to buy it! Don't say five taels, it's more expensive, don't worry about selling it!! Grass, that's a good idea. That's what I'm doing! ”

The Liu family has almost named the melon. Wang Er Dog's trolley is not big enough to hold twenty watermelons.

“A total of 368 pounds, give you an integer, let's call it 360 pounds. Grass, how much does it cost to give you two dogs?” Liu's arithmetic, compared to a few children, is a little weaker than a star and a half. She doesn't have the confidence to calculate that big number.

Yu Xiaoxue reckoned silently in her heart and quickly came up with the answer: “Uncle Two Dogs, a total of 54 taels of silver! I'll write you a note and you can take the watermelon away with a fingerprint! ”

All you have to do is fill in the two pounds of watermelon and the amount of money. Yu Xiaocao used an ink-sucking fountain pen and filled it with numbers. Read it again carefully to the illiterate Wang Er Dog.

Wang Erdog dipped the ink with his index finger with pleasure. He printed his fingerprints on it and said: "Don't read it, can people still not believe you? When my daughter-in-law arrives, you say I'm going to the pier. ”

According to the size of the watermelon, Wang Erdogs packed the weighed watermelon on the trolley and pushed it away with great energy!

The shop in Yu Xiaograss Town will be open tomorrow, so the watermelon will be shipped to the store to be stocked today. She lifted her sleeves and worked so hard to lift a watermelon to the donkey cart. Liu Han glanced at him and said, “Put it down, I'll do it! ”

Hu Shi also held a watermelon with a good eye and said, "Little grass, how can you move a thin arm? Isn't that what you put in the car? Just give it to aunt and uncle! ”

Little grass was not polite with them, while helping Liu Han, said: "Uncle, there is not much work in the ground at this time, why don't you get a car of watermelon and sell it to the town! As long as the watermelon doesn't fall or touch, it can be saved for at least five or six days. If it doesn't sell out in one day, it can be sold the next day...”

Liu Han quietly moved a few watermelons before mundane opening: “A watermelon costs two or three taels of silver, I'm afraid to hit it... Besides, we don't have a car to ship this thing. ”
