The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 124 Difficulties
"Do you still have beans here?" Han Qianluo asked.

Hearing this, the young man said quickly: "Yes, yes, girl, come with me." He hurriedly led Han Qianluo to the shop, but probably because few people bought beans, the young man continued to buy beans. I opened several bags, but none of them were soybeans.

Han Qianluo didn't urge her, but the clerk was worried that she was leaving in a hurry, so he quickly explained: "Girl, wait a moment, there must be some soybeans, but I just moved them in the past two days, and suddenly forgot where I put them." As he spoke, he opened another bag, and said happily, "I found it, girl, take a look at the soybeans, are you satisfied?"

Han Qianluo casually grabbed a handful of soybeans and looked at them carefully. The size of these soybeans was quite uniform, and they were all about the same size. In other words, they were all small. So she asked directly: "How do you sell your soybeans?"

"150 Wen a stone, how much do you want to buy, girl?" The man asked quickly, with a more sincere smile on his face.

Han Qianluo seldom came to the grain shop to buy grain before, and rarely sold grain to the grain shop, so she didn't know if the price of soybeans was too expensive, so she stood there hesitating for a while, and didn't speak immediately.

"Girl, this price is not expensive at all. The beans are only being planted now, and not many shops sell soybeans." The man tried his best to persuade her, hoping to let her buy it.

Han Qianluo also knew that what this guy said was true, and now they couldn't buy soybeans in Qianyang, so she came to the grain shop to buy: "How many soybeans do you have here?"

The young man thought for a while: "There should be a few hundred catties left, does the girl want all of them?" Although the question was asked like this, the disbelief on the man's face was obvious.

Han Qianluo is not an idiot, and her eyes are fine, so she can see it naturally, so she deliberately said loudly: "I want all of them."

Seeing the guy's surprised expression, Han Qianluo felt extremely happy.But the guy was only surprised for a moment, and then he said happily: "No problem, girl, sit here for a while, and I will call our shopkeeper." After speaking, he hurried out from behind.

In the shop, besides the young guy who was a clothes moth, there was another man in a slightly older grade. The man wiped the things in the shop and said, "Girl, do you buy so many soybeans to eat? How about that?" It's better to buy small yellow rice, or barley."

"I didn't buy it to eat." Han Qianluo said.

"If you don't eat it, what is it for?" The older man asked puzzled, probably unable to think of a second use besides eating.

Han Qianluo didn't answer his question, but just smiled, and the older man didn't continue to ask.Soon, in just a cup of tea, the young man came back, followed by an old man with gray hair. Han Qianluo estimated that this old man could be in his 60s.

"You are the shopkeeper, right?" Han Qianluo stood up quickly.

But the old man took advantage of the situation and sat down: "I heard from the guy that you want to buy all the soybeans in my shop?"

"Yes." Han Qianluo replied bluntly, "I wonder how many soybeans you have here?"

The old man also thought for a while before answering: "There are about two or three hundred shi, can you buy them all?"

"If I buy them all, can the price be negotiated again?" Han Qianluo asked.

Finally, after some bargaining, Han Qianluo finally bought the soybeans at a price of 130 gold per stone. After paying the money, Han Qianluo found an ox cart and pulled the soybeans back.

Sitting on the bullock cart, Han Qianluo soon saw her own yard. The gate of the yard where she lived was locked, while the gate of the other yard was open, so she shouted loudly, "Brother, come out."

"What's the matter?" Following the voice, Han Qingquan came out of the house. He didn't show any surprise when he saw the cart of soybeans, and consciously helped unload the soybeans and moved them to the yard.

After paying the money, the man driving the ox cart left. Han Qianluo walked into the yard and started working. After a while, Han Sanwei called her outside: "Sister San."

Hearing this, Han Qianluo was a little surprised: "Why are you back so early?"

"Didn't you come back at the same time as before?" Han Sanwei replied with some doubts.

Han Qianluo glanced outside the house a little strangely, but was surprised that it was already evening, but her soybeans were only cooked in one pot, and she couldn't help but frowned, feeling that the efficiency was too low.

But she still locked the door, went back to the yard next door, walked into the kitchen and saw that the dinner was ready, and Pan Song was taking out the food, when she saw her coming in, he quickly put down the bowl he had already brought up, and said : "Sister Han, what's the matter?"

"No." Han Qianluo said, and hurriedly helped to take out the food. Just after taking out the food, he saw several other people came back, so he said loudly, "Wash your hands and you can eat."

Everyone washed their hands and sat down to eat. Han Qianluo looked around habitually, but he didn't see Liu Linchu. He felt a little strange: did he come back or didn't come to their house?
"Xiao Luo, what are you still thinking about? Let's eat quickly." Han Qingquan interrupted her thoughts.

"Okay, let's eat." Han Qianluo came back to his senses and began to eat, but just after taking a few bites of rice, he heard Xu Gui from the side say: "Miss, there is another shopkeeper who came from another state today." , Said to order a batch of paper, hope to talk to you in person tomorrow."

Han Qianluo almost choked on this sentence, coughed a few times before recovering, frowned and said, "Did he say how much it would cost?"

"He just said that he only needs tens of thousands of copies this time." Xu Gui replied.

After hearing this, Han Qianluo was both happy and troubled. The happy thing was that the business was good and he could make more money. The troubled thing was that there were so many things to do now, and the people in their family couldn't be too busy at all.

"Xiao Luo, what's the problem?" Han Qingquan looked at her worriedly.

Han Qianluo put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and said truthfully: "Brother, from this point of view, we don't have enough people in our family." Speaking of this, he remembered that there were other things, so he continued, "Besides, There are so many other things to be busy with.”

Xu Gui, who never spoke, suddenly said, "Miss, you can hire some permanent or short-term workers."

This sentence reminded the two of them. Han Qianluo patted himself on the head. After staying in this place for a long time, he even forgot that he could hire workers: "Brother, let's hire some workers."

"Long-term workers, or short-term workers?" Han Qingquan asked.

Han Qianluo thought for a while: "It's better to be a short-term worker, a long-term worker is too troublesome, and maybe what will happen in the future."

"Xiao Luo, you can decide on this matter." Han Qingquan said, picked up the chopsticks again and prepared to eat, but still added: "Xiao Luo, you can tell me after you decide what to do."

"kindness."

Han Qianluo responded casually, and then began to consider whether to hire workers according to the standards at this time, or according to her impression of future generations, and who to hire is also a question to consider.

Han Qianluo kept thinking about this matter during the meal, but he didn't think of specific details until after dinner.After dinner, the sky was still slightly bright, and he could barely see the scene outside. Thinking of Liu Linchu who hadn't come to eat, Han Qianluo stood up and said, "Brother, I'll go over to see if brother Linchu is back."

"Go."

Soon Han Qianluo walked to the gate of the courtyard of Liu Linchu's house. The lock on the gate was still locked, and it was obvious that he hadn't come back yet.Han Qianluo felt a little strange, but thought that he might be saying goodbye to someone he knew, so he didn't feel strange anymore, turned around and planned to go back.

As soon as he turned around, Han Qianluo saw a figure walking in this direction. The figure was still familiar, and he wondered if Liu Linchu had returned, so he didn't move for a while. Liu Linchu: "Brother Linchu, you are back."

"Xiao Luo, it's so late, why are you here?" Liu Linchu asked in surprise, and took out the key to open the door.Han Qianluo quickly followed in and said, "I'll come over to see if Brother Linchu is back."

"While talking to them, I accidentally forgot the time." Liu Linchu said with a smile, and lit two candles to brighten the room.

Han Qianluo sat on the chair next to the table, propped his chin and looked at Liu Linchu in the room, watching him walking around the room: "Linchu, have you packed your things, do you want me to help?"

"No need, you have a lot of things to do. Besides, I have nothing to clean up, just a few clothes." Liu Linchu said, also sitting on the chair next to Han Qianluo.

There was no one else in the room, just the two of them, Han Qianluo looked at the person he liked sitting in front of him, thinking that this person was about to leave, and he would not see him again for a long time in the future, so he felt very sad. Feeling very reluctant: "Brother Linchu, I am reluctant for you to leave."

Liu Linchu stretched out her hands, wrapped her smaller hands inside, and said softly: "What is there to be reluctant to do? It's not that I won't come back, I will be back soon." When she said this, she suddenly lowered her voice , "I can't bear Xiao Luo either."

Hearing this sentence, Han Qianluo was immediately happy. Is this a response to her? If so, if this is the case, then leaving this time may not be considered a very bad thing.So she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin Chu..."

This sentence just started, Han Qianluo didn't know how to continue asking, so he stopped here and did not continue asking.
