Chapter 39 Buying Beans
The next day, the Qu family got up early, and the uncle went to a nearby village to look for those skilled carpenters, while the aunt went to the village with others to buy soybeans.

"Buy soybeans for a penny and a catty. If you sell them, come to Qu's house and pay on delivery." Several cousins ​​had a copper gong in their hands, knocked and shouted, full of energy.

"Boy Yi, what did your family buy?"

The villagers were knocked out of the house by the gong, and they couldn't believe it when they heard the Qu family calling for soybeans.Are they crazy to buy something so rotten and cheap like soybeans? They collect it for a penny a catty, which is the same price as Yanlai's grain store.

"Uncle Zhuang, my family buys soybeans. If your family has any surplus, you can send them over. But you must ensure the quality of the beans. I don't want those moldy or rotten beans." It was the second cousin, Qu Zhe, who had the courage to come up. Just make the conditions clear and save yourself trouble in the future.

"Sister-in-law Yanhua, what is your family buying soybeans for? If you eat too much of that stuff, you won't be able to poop." Aunt Osmanthus, the daughter-in-law of villager Li Haicai, had gossip in her slender eyes.

"That's right, is there any big business to do?" Liao Shi, the fat aunt who had spoken ill of Wang Shi at the beginning, also moved forward with a dry smile.

"Where there is any big business, I just cook something for myself." The aunt laughed awkwardly.

"Hey, what are you eating, your family can really make a fuss."

"That's right...we are all from the same village, you old Qu family can't hide your secrets."

"Yanhua, when your family settled in Qinghe Village, my Liangzi's father helped to talk."

Qu You was very depressed by the way the villagers were scrambling one after another, he was convinced that a soy bean could bring up so many topics.Everyone came up to express their attitude, for fear of being left behind when it is beneficial.

"Your family has soybeans, can't you sell them? If you don't sell them, get out of the way. We have to go to another house to collect them." It really makes people angry.

"Hey, why is sister You so powerful?"

"Qiu Yun, you have to take good care of this child, how can you find a good wife like this."

"You, Qu You, won't run into evil!"

"Take care of your own children. I, Xiaoyou, are fine. I dare to chew my tongue in person, and I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue." Wang Shi stepped in front of her daughter to prevent her from being attacked by everyone, although she usually seems weak It's deceitful, but as soon as Qu You encounters a problem, she immediately turns into a lioness.

"Do you have any extra beans? If you have any, send them to my house as soon as possible. My house won't accept them after the deadline, and I don't want to send them when the time comes." Qu You narrowed his eyes, said with a blank expression, and left with his family up.

Seeing Qu You and the others leave, the thoughtful one immediately went home to pack up the soybeans and prepared to send them to the Qu family.The worthless soybeans are grown by almost every family in Qinghe Village. Usually, they spend a lot of money to bring the beans to the five grain store in Yanlai County, and the shopkeeper only pays a penny a catty.The price given by the Qu family is also one penny per catty. Compared with the two, it is easier to sell to the Qu family. Not only does it save money for carriages and horses, but it is also weighed at the door of the house, so you are not afraid of being cheated.In this way, those who don't sell are fools.

The Qu family beat the gong around Qinghe Village. Regardless of whether the villagers heard it or not, they did their best anyway.She welcomes those who want to sell, and doesn't force those who don't want to sell.

"Xiaoyou, I think it's almost there. Let's go back and have a look. If there are any for sale, we'll buy some of them first. Anyway, it's just for practice, and it doesn't need much." The third cousin, Qu Xiao, suggested.

"Okay, let's go back first." Qu You nodded.

When they went back, they didn't beat the gong or call out, they just hurried on their way silently.Soon to arrive at the new house, Qu You took a look from a distance, there were already sporadic villagers at the gate of the clean and tidy compound waiting to sell soybeans.

"Someone is waiting, let's go." This is the first batch of villagers who came to sell beans, so they must be kind.

After Qu Yi and Qu Xiao entered the room and moved the table out, they stood there and waited for Qu You.And it is the second cousin Quzhe who is responsible for maintaining order.

"Villagers who sell beans, please line up. We will weigh the beans later and inspect the appearance. If there is no mold or rot, we will pay immediately." He stood in front of the crowd with his head held high, handsome The face is full of seriousness.

"Oh, Brother Zhe is in charge!"

"Boy Zhe give my family name first."

"Brother Qu Zhe, you have to give it enough credit!"

There was a burst of commotion in the crowd, and everyone talked about it.

When Qu You came out with the abacus, he saw such a messy scene.Her face darkened, and she put down her calculations heavily. "Those who want to sell beans hurry up and line up. Now start weighing. If the quality is not good, we will not accept it. After weighing the beans, go to the front to collect money. Now start weighing..."

"Li Dazhuang, 200 catties, a total of 200 Wen."

"Li Haisheng, 350 catties, a total of 350 wen."

"Li Yan, 260 catties, a total of 260 wen."

"Li Qiushun..."

Qu You's fingers were like flying butterflies, fiddled with the ancient abacus quickly, the speed was really dazzling.

"Why don't you accept my beans? I tell you that my mother is not easy to bully. You old Qu family dare not accept my beans. I will never end with you." Suddenly there was a loud shout from the quiet crowd, Qu You Look up, hey!Encounter Road is narrow, there really are troublemakers like the Liao family everywhere.

"Your soybeans are mixed with moldy beans. We have said in advance that the quality is not good, and you don't want any rotten and moldy beans." Qu Yi frowned and said righteously.

"Bah~ I'm teaching my old lady a lesson before my hair grows at a young age. Tell the one with long eyes to come over and see if there's anything wrong with my beans." Liao's neck still refused to admit that there was something wrong with the beans.

Qu You really can't stand it anymore, what's the matter, bullying our old Qu's family has no one, but bullying my family to be honest.She put down her abacus and walked over.

"Brother, show me a handful of beans."

Before Qu Yi could make a move, Qu Xiao had already brought a hand over.There are big and small soybeans in this handful, and the rotten and moldy ones are all mixed in. Maybe the Liao family was hoping to get lucky when they came to sell them.

The matter of Liao's family sounded a wake-up call in Qu You's heart. She pretended to go forward, and took the opportunity to turn over all the sacks that had not been weighed. The fire came out in a flash.My aunt can't stand my uncle anymore, so blatantly treating her as a fool.

"Fellow folks, because of Aunt Lirong's affairs, today's beans are bought here first. If there is any one that wants to sell, please come early tomorrow!"

Who wouldn't know how to sow discord, Qu You put away the abacus, turned around and entered the mansion without looking at them.
