It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 167 Negotiation (May [-]th)
Seeing that there was something going on, the patriarch of the Wang clan glanced at Wang Hanping in surprise, and said excitedly, "I, we want corn. Of course, we also want some wheat and rice if we have it."

Meng Mingzhou thought for a while, then nodded: "There is no problem with this, I just want to trouble you to help me figure out how many chestnuts can be sold."

The royal patriarch nodded, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, let's go back and count."

Patriarch Wang stood up and said to Wang Hanping, "Uncle Hanping, I'll go back and ask my family to bring some food over."

Wang Hanping waved his hand and refused, "No, they came with Meizi's two sons, they are all relatives."

The royal patriarch could not refuse, "That's it, let's go back first."

After saying goodbye to Meng Mingzhou, he brought a group of people, came in a mighty way, and left in a big way.

Afterwards, the eldest son of the royal patriarch's family sent five eggs and some vegetables, and then Wang Han sent a home-raised chicken, and then other clan elders who were present at the time asked their family members to bring them home Some eat.

They all put down their things and left, and no one could refuse.

Wang Hanping shook his head with a helpless smile, and said to Meng Mingzhou who was standing beside him: "Boy Mingzhou, although our Wangjia Village is poor and remote, our hearts are not as dark as those outside."

Meng Mingzhou nodded with a smile, "Yes, they are very simple."

How could he not understand the meaning of Wang Hanping's words?I just feel that the heart and eyes of this village are probably all in his head, but he also thinks it is nothing for the good of their Wangjia Village.

After lunch, the Patriarch Wang came to Meng Mingzhou with the counted amount. Meng Mingzhou saw the amount and knew that it was similar to his calculation.

"Twenty-seven thousand catties, half of which is counted as silver money, is 670 catties, and five cents per catty is [-] and five taels of silver."

Meng Mingzhou didn't use the abacus brought by the patriarch, he did the calculation in his own mind, and said it directly after the calculation.

The patriarch Wang glanced at Meng Mingzhou in surprise, then picked up the abacus and calculated it himself, and it was really these amounts.

"Mingzhou kid is really amazing."

Meng Mingzhou smiled and didn't explain. He learned this mental arithmetic from Su Rui teaching his younger brother, and he was very surprised when he heard it.

"As for the food, we will exchange the remaining silver with the corresponding food, and then we will have to trouble the royal patriarch to divide it himself."

The royal patriarch nodded, "Well, I don't need to trouble you to help share this. When the food arrives, we will share it ourselves."

Seeing that none of the people present objected, Meng Mingzhou took out his purse, which contained 300 taels of silver notes from Su Rui and about a hundred and ten taels of broken silver. He took out the 300 taels of silver notes and handed them to the royal family long.

"I didn't bring so much silver with me when I went out. I will pay some deposit first, and I will take some away when I leave tomorrow. Of course, I won't take away all the chestnuts at once."

The patriarch Wang picked up the banknote with trembling hands, and nodded slowly. This was the first time he saw a banknote, he was a little excited, and then he said in embarrassment: "Boy Meng, I, no one in our village has a hundred and ten Two silvers, even if you give me such a large denomination, we can't exchange it."

"Forehead…………"

Meng Mingzhou didn't expect this, and neither did Su Rui. At that time, he just thought it was convenient to bring bank notes and save some trouble.

Meng Mingzhou thought for a moment and said: "How about this? Look, who will go back with us tomorrow, and I will exchange it for cash for you?"

Meng Mingzhou said this to reassure them that he was not lying to them, let alone running away.

The patriarch Wang shook his head with a smile. He already knew that Meng Mingzhou was related to Wang Hanping's grandson's family, so he still trusted him.

"No, no, we trust you."

The patriarch said so, and everyone who was doing it suppressed even if they had doubts, and said in unison: "Yes, yes, we trust you."

Meng Mingzhou just smiled slightly. In fact, the price Su Rui told him was acceptable for seven or eight cents a catty, but he didn't base his purchase on that price, and bought it at the county price.

In fact, he understood that Su Rui wanted to give one or two Wen a catty more because she felt that Wangjia Village was poor and wanted to help, and more than two or three Wen a catty was nothing to her, but he couldn't let her do this .

Since ancient times, most people have been greedy and greedy. It is right for you to treat them well every time, but as long as you treat them badly once, it is your fault.

Meng Mingzhou thought to himself, since Su Rui wants to subsidize them, then let's use another way to subsidize them.

After admiring the banknote, the patriarch Wang handed it to Meng Mingzhou, "You should take this banknote back."

Meng Mingzhou was not polite either. He took the banknote and put it back into his purse. He took out the remaining dozens of taels of silver in his purse and counted it. It happened to be 75 taels.

"Since you don't need bank notes, then these silver coins can be regarded as a deposit, and next time I will directly give you 700 taels."

This time the royal patriarch did not refuse, counted the money and put it away.

The royal patriarch stood up, "Then I will arrange for the clansmen to put the chestnuts together?"

Meng Mingzhou shook his head, "It's not urgent. I have something to discuss with you later. Should we write two documents first? This is good for you and me."

The royal patriarch nodded quickly, "It should be written, it should be written, look at me, because I was excited, I forgot about this matter."

Meng Mingzhou understood the mood of the patriarch Wang, he looked at Wang Hanping, "Grandpa Wang, do you have pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

Wang Hanping showed an embarrassing smile, "Well, none of my grandsons have ever attended a private school."

"...Then, who has it?"

Everyone shook their heads one after another. Those who are poor can only eat, and dare not eat when they are full. How can they have money to buy pens and inks?Even Wang Han, who has just joined in and can eat enough, doesn't have spare money to buy pens and ink.

The royal patriarch thought for a while, and quickly said, "There are in the ancestral hall, which are usually used to worship ancestors."

"…………………"

Meng Mingzhou was helpless. In a village, there was only one pair of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Wang Hanping glanced at the crowd, and hurriedly called to his grandson who was eavesdropping in the yard, "Well, Xingda, you run fast, go to the ancestral hall to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are in..."

Before the royal patriarch finished speaking, Wang Xingda jumped out.

Patriarch of the royal family, "........."

Meng Mingzhou: "...so ran away?"

Wang Hanping, "It's okay, I'll be back in a while."

Sure enough, Wang Xingda came back after a while, panting and asked, "Grandpa, you didn't say where you put the paper, ink, brush and inkstone?"

Wang Hanping shook his head helplessly, there was nothing he could do about this impatient grandson.

"I don't know why you are running so fast?"

Wang Xingda said aggrievedly, "You told me to hurry up..."

Meng Mingzhou, "........."
