Pastoral little master

Chapter 149

On the second day, Mr. Tan made a decision that all the Tan family members would no longer go to Luhuapo to dig lotus roots.

Only the family members knew about Erxia's marriage last time, so he didn't feel ashamed.

But this time Shiro's incident has been well known to everyone. He really has no face to ask his family to dig lotus roots for Qiduo's house. Recently, he wants to reduce his sense of presence. He hopes that the villagers will forget about it as soon as possible.

However, asking Sanlang to drive the ox cart to help transport the lotus root back, without wages, is probably a little compensation for Qiduo's family in disguise.

Mrs. Zhao objected, saying that wouldn't it be cheaper for Qiduo's family.

"Old lady, the boss is our son after all, if he can really make a fortune, our face will also be radiant.

Besides, our family is a joke right now when something like Shiro happened. Let Sanlang go over and help the elders a little bit. Not only will the elder feel better, but the village master will also say something nice when he sees it.

Don't be blindfolded, just think about the things in front of you. "Old Master Tan persuaded Mrs. Zhao earnestly.

After Patriarch Tan's education last time, Mr. Tan finally understands some truths.

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while, and had no choice but to agree. Even if she did not agree, the only people who can really work today are Mrs. Yang and Sanlang, and they can't do much.

Knowing Mr. Tan's decision, Sandao and Wuxing were ecstatic, and finally they don't have to work in the mud anymore, which is great.

Qiduo was also a little surprised, she didn't expect Mr. Tan would ask Sanlang to help.

She did not refuse Mr. Tan's kindness.

Qiduo put the hot rice and vegetables into a food box, and asked Sanlang to take it to Luhuapo to make breakfast for Tan Debao.

Wang Xiaodao and Tan Sen's father were too embarrassed to dig lotus root today, and with the absence of the Tan family, there would be fewer people digging lotus root. Qiduo thought of Tan Dama.

"Uncle Ma, there are fewer people digging lotus roots today, if the eldest brother and the second brother are free, they can go there too." Qiduo said with a smile.

"Okay, Seventh Miss, thank you so much, our family has been taken care of by you." The honest Tan Dama rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

Qiduo waved her hand, "Uncle Ma, you are too polite, you are helping me. Besides, we live next door, so we should help each other."

Tan Dama nodded, he knew how to take care of Qiduo.

Mrs. Wang also came out of the kitchen and said kind words to Qiduo.

Qiduo and the others went back to their home after chatting a few words.

The bean sprouts can be sold again, the lotus root is also going to be sold, and tomorrow is the opening day of the food court, Qiduo has to do some preparations, today is busy enough.

There are not too many bean sprouts, which can be digested by Yuekelai and Chunfeng Deyilou, but the lotus root is different. The two restaurants can't use too much in a day, and the lotus root is still being dug out. The number is increasing day by day, and there is an urgent need to find a market.

At about [-]:[-] pm, Tan Dejin came back with an ox cart.

"Father, you're back, let's wash your face and eat, where's Uncle Tang?" Qi Duo shouted with a smile.

"Uncle Tang is going back first." Tan Dejin replied, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and there were still a few drops of mist in his hair.

He has sent Tang Hu to the ferry in Guangming Village.

Tang Hu was supposed to go back after breakfast, but Tang Hu said he wanted to go back early and try to come back in the afternoon.

Qiduo nodded after hearing him explain the reason, and asked about the situation last night.

Tan Dejin said that it was very quiet last night, but it was too open there, and it would be a little scary to sleep alone.

Erxia fetched hot water for him, Liuju put the food on the table, and Liulang also got up.

The family sits at the table and prepares to eat.

"How is everything going well at home last night?" Tan Dejin asked after taking a bite of his meal.

He was just asking casually.

Because he thought that nothing would happen at home.

Liuju originally wanted to talk about what happened last night, but Qiduo kicked her from below and said with a smile, "Everything is fine."

I must tell my father what happened last night, but I have to talk about it after dinner.

Liuju stuck out her tongue quietly, and also lowered her head to eat.

Tan Dejin did not suspect him, and continued to eat.

After everyone had finished eating, Erxia was busy cleaning up the dishes, and Qiduo said to Tan Dejin, "Father, something serious happened to our family last night."

"Ah, what's the matter?" Tan Dejin asked, his eyes tightened, and he grabbed Qiduo's arm.

He exerted great force in this blow, Qiduo couldn't help grinning in pain, "Father, it hurts."

"Ah." Tan Dejin was startled, and quickly let go.

"It's true for you, it doesn't matter what you do." Mrs. Xu hurriedly scolded Tan Dejin, then turned to look at Qiduo and asked with concern, "Duo, let mother see if you are hurt."

Qiduo quickly waved her hands, "Mother, I'm not that delicate."

Then she told Tan Dejin what happened last night.

"Hey, if it wasn't for Duo's high vigilance last night, we made some preparations in advance, and they would have stolen all the lotus roots at home." Xu sighed softly and said.

"Fortunately, Liu Lang remembered that Uncle Fourth had a trap, otherwise, even if we were alert, they would still be able to steal things away after we fell asleep," Qi Duo said.

Tan Dejin clenched his hands tightly, the veins on the back of his hands were protruding, and the bones and joints were turning white. It could be seen that he was very angry at the moment.

"Mingxiu, Duo, you shouldn't be merciful to spare them, you should let the patriarch send them to prison." Tan Dejin said bitterly.

Qiduo shook her head, "Father, that's what I think. Except for the fourth brother, Wang Xiaodao and Tan Sen belong to the same village. We don't see each other with their families. Their parents are also honest people. Xiaodao's younger sister has a good relationship with his second sister.

Even if they were really sent to the yamen, it is unknown how the county magistrate would sentence them in the end, maybe they would be released after a few boards.

Who knows what else they'll do when they're back.

Right now our family just needs someone to look at the lotus roots, and Sanniang and the others are begging not to send them to officials, so I will be a favor, and within three months my family’s lotus roots must not make any mistakes, otherwise I will send them to the officials immediately.I think under the constraints of this condition, they should be somewhat restrained. "

"But after three months, if they don't change their minds, they will still steal." Tan Dejin gritted his teeth.

"During this time, our family has to dig and sell lotus roots, and is busy with spring plowing, so we really don't have the energy to deal with them.

After three months, many things will come to an end. If they don't open their eyes and make trouble again, don't blame us for being rude.At that time, they must be dealt with severely, and they will not be relentless.

Of course, if they are just confused for a while, they are motivated and willing to improve, then everything is easy to talk about. "Qiduo said.

"Hey, this is the end of the matter, I'll listen to your arrangement. Fortunately, you are smart, otherwise... Hey, this Shiro usually seems to be a very honest person, when did he learn from being a bad guy and start stealing chickens and dogs? Already?" Tan Dejin said bitterly.

But he broke into a cold sweat, thinking about what happened last night is dangerous.

Mrs. Xu curled her lips and said, "You don't know something. Last year, several people in the village told me in private that Shiro had stolen winter melons and pumpkins from their house. I didn't believe it at the time, saying they must have seen Wrong person.

But they said they read it right, but there were few things, so they didn't come to look for them.

Now that I think about it, Shiro really did that kind of thing, but thanks to me, I was always defending it in front of outsiders, a heartless white-eyed wolf. "

"Ah, there is another matter, we were all deceived by Shiro's appearance." Qi Duo was startled.

Sure enough, he was mistaken, there were always three hands around him, but he didn't know it.

Tan Dejin didn't say anything else, he just loaded the things he was going to take to the town and county into the bullock cart, and called Qiduo and Liuju to get on the cart.

Liu Lang bit his lip and said to Mrs. Xu, "Mom, I'll help my father sell lotus roots too."

"You can't do it, stay at home." Xu shook her head hurriedly.

"Mother, I can do it. It's boring to stay at home every day. I really want to help." Liu Lang pulled Xu's clothes and begged.

Qiduo heard this, came over, and said to Mrs. Xu, "Mother, let Liulang go. Boys, you should go out and exercise more. You will learn more, and it will be good for your future studies."

Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then, Duo, you and Ju must take good care of Liulang. This body is just better, so we can't make another mistake."

Still worried about Rokuro's body.

"Mother, don't worry, it's okay. Liulang, let's go." Qiduo comforted Xu with a smile, then put her arms around Liulang's shoulders, and got into the bullock cart together.

Xu and Erxia watched Tan Dejin and Qiduo leave.

After finishing the work at home, Wang took sister Qiuhua to Qiduo's house to help wash yesterday's remnants of lotus root.

The carriage stopped at the door of Yue Kelai, seeing Qiduo and the other three were fast asleep, Tan Dejin couldn't bear to wake them up.

Didn't sleep well last night, Qiduo, Liuju and Liulang fell asleep leaning against the lotus basket due to the bumping of the ox cart.

Seeing the exhausted appearance of the three, Tan Dejin was very distressed, and became even more angry with Shiro.

But it was late, and there were still many things to do, so he had no choice but to wake up Qiduo and the others cruelly.

Qiduo opened her eyes, looked around in a daze, and didn't understand where it was for a while.

When she came to her senses, she scratched her head in embarrassment, covered her mouth and yawned, and said to Tan Dejin, "Hehe, I fell asleep unexpectedly, get out of the car."

After finishing speaking, she got out of the carriage neatly, and then went to Yue Ke to find Uncle Nian.

When Uncle Nian saw Qiduo, he immediately smiled, "Miss Qi is here, what good things did you bring today?"

"Hello Uncle Nian, gold and silver buds, river clams, and lotus roots." Qi Duo responded with a smile.

"Okay, let's take a look." Uncle Nian nodded with a smile.

He followed Qiduo to the ox cart to see the goods.

The main thing is to look at the lotus root. After all, this is the first time he has seen lotus root in spring. The quality must be carefully checked.

The lotus root was very fresh and in good condition. Uncle Nian was relieved and asked Qiduo, "Miss Qi, how do you sell this lotus root?"

Pointing to two baskets of whole lotus root, Qiduo said, "This kind of lotus is thirty yuan a catty." Pointing to the half-cut lotus root, "This kind of lotus root is eighteen cents a catty."

I asked Tan Dejin that when the lotus root is on the market, it costs [-] Wen a catty.

It stands to reason that it can be sold at a higher price at this time of year, but in order to sell the lotus root faster, Qiduo decided to sell it cheaper so that more people can afford it. Lotus root, you can afford lotus root.

Regarding the price of lotus root, Uncle Nian knows better than Qiduo, and has no objection to the price.

"Miss Seven, I still want this kind of whole lotus root. I can put it on for a while." Uncle Nian pointed at the whole lotus root and said.

"Okay, no problem, how much does Uncle Nian want?" Qi Duo smiled and nodded.

"The shopkeeper told me that I want two hundred catties first, and half of it will be given to the restaurant in the county." Uncle Nian said.

Qiduo said yes with a smile, and Tan Dejin quickly moved the lotus root.

In addition to lotus root, there are one hundred catties of river clams and fifty catties of yellow and green bean sprouts.

After weighing, it was to settle accounts, a total of 13 taels of silver, and Qiduo still gave Uncle Nian fifty Wen to buy wine and eat.

After Nian Shu declined, he happily accepted.

Qiduo remembered the Han family's marriage proposal, so she called Uncle Nian and found a secluded place, "Uncle Nian, I want to ask you something."
