farm concubine

Chapter 15 is not a good person
Lin Shuirou put the longevity fruit on her back by the water tank, then walked up to Li Rulin and asked, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

The Li Wanqing siblings also looked at their father curiously.

"Rou'er, I...it's fine." Li Rulin seemed hesitant to speak.

Li Wanqing wondered if her father was going to teach Li Ruying how to make dried shrimps?Why come back like this?Could it be that she was angry at the old house, there was no one else in the old house except her top-notch grandma who could give her this fatherly anger.

"Father, did grandma say something about you again?" Li Wanqing asked tentatively.

Hearing that Li Wanqing guessed right, Li Rulin's body froze, and finally turned into a deep sigh: "Alas—mother said, instead of drying dried shrimps like Ruying, I might as well share the money I earn from selling dried shrimps." Give them half."

"Pfft" Li Wanqing burst out laughing, her grandma is really top-notch, Li Wanqing teased Li Rulin: "Father, didn't my grandma turn a corner and ask you to help my second uncle raise his wife and children?"

When Li Wanqing said this, Li Rulin's face became even more ugly. His first reaction was to look at Lin Shurou. Anyone can misunderstand, but Lin Shurou alone can't misunderstand.

Lin Shuirou poked Li Wanqing's forehead with her index finger: "What nonsense are you talking about, let outsiders listen to it, and you still don't know how to arrange your father's story, don't you?"

"Understood, mother." Li Wanqing replied obediently, wiping the aching forehead from Lin Shuirou's poke.

But she didn't think so in her heart, and only a good person like her mother would not think so. Her grandma asked her father to give half of the money she earned to the second uncle. It was clear that she wanted her father to help the second uncle support the family?Her mother didn't take it seriously, so she thought this way, and then she heard Lin Shuirou ask: "You agreed?"

Li Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, her mother also knew that her family's money cannot be given to others for free, even if the other party is a relative.

"I didn't agree, so my mother scolded me, saying that I have no brotherhood." Thinking of Deng's scolding, Li Rulin felt very sad. If he really didn't have brotherhood, he wouldn't teach Ruying how to make dried shrimps. How did he end up with such an unreasonable mother?Li Rulin couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought.

"Then second uncle thinks the same way?" What Li Wanqing cares most about is Li Ruying's reaction. As for her superb grandma, it's best to ignore her, since they seldom go to the old house anyway.

Li Rulin shook his head: "Your second uncle studied very hard."

"Has Second Uncle learned it?"

"I have learned." Li Rulin nodded. It is not difficult to dry dried shrimps, as long as you teach them.

"Well, when the market is over two days later, after the second uncle is done drying, everyone can take it and take it to Huayuanju and give it to Mr. Ouyang." Li Wanqing planned to buy a few large tanks and return to the workshop next time he went to the market. open up.

After finishing speaking, Li Wanqing went to clean the longevity fruit that she had picked up, and leave the words of comfort to her mother.

But it was getting late, so Li Wanqing changed her mind, let Li Muchen wash the longevity fruit, and she went to cook.

The two days passed quickly, and it was time to go to the market again. Li Wanqing told Li Rulin that she was planning to buy three large tile vats, so Li Rulin went to Fulin's house in the village to borrow an ox cart. It's time to harvest the crops.

When the family was separated, Li Wanqing's family only got three acres of mountain land, so their family didn't have to harvest crops.

Li Rulin and Li Ruying made an appointment to meet under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. This time, only Li Rulin and Li Wanqing's father and daughter went out, and Li Muchen was left at home to help Lin Shuirou watch the dried longevity fruit being dried.

When the father and daughter drove the ox cart to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, Li Ruying and his wife were already waiting under the tree. As soon as the ox cart stopped, her second aunt Gu rushed over: "Brother, why don't you bring me and Ruying along?" Bar."

Hearing that Mrs. Gu is going with her, Li Wanqing is not happy. Could it be that she can't trust them?

"His second aunt, we have to buy a few big tanks when we come back, and we can't take anyone with us." Li Rulin rejected Gu Shi without even thinking about it.

"Brother, these are dried dried shrimps in the past two days. The child's mother has weighed them, and they weigh ten catties." Hearing Li Ruying's words, Li Wanqing was out of breath. When the smoke disappeared, it seemed that not only her grandma was a top-notch person, but also her second uncle and his wife were not very good people.

Her father taught him how to dry dried shrimps for free and they didn't thank them. It's really thankless to be so preoccupied now. Li Wanqing decided not to teach them alone in the future. If she has a good job, she will let the villagers bid for it.

Li Rulin took the bag of ten catties of dried shrimp and put it on the bullock cart: "Understood, we will be back around noon, so you can come and get the money then." Apparently Li Rulin was also very dissatisfied with the behavior of the couple.

"Understood, brother." Li Ruying saw that Li Rulin had already got into the car, and backed away. Li Rulin flicked the bullwhip, and the ox cart drove forward slowly.

After entering Liantang Town, the father and daughter went straight to Huayuanju. Only Ji Fang received them, saying that Ouyang Yuanhao had something to do with the other semicolons.

Li Wanqing told Ji Fang that the dried shrimps were dried by her second uncle and had to be weighed by the catty.

"Miss Li, since your dried shrimps came out, people in the county have started to sell them, and the price may not be as high as the previous two times." Ji Fang said a little embarrassed.

"Brother Ji, let's make a price." Thinking of the attitude of Li Ruying and his wife, Li Wanqing felt very uncomfortable. Since Li Rulin was right next to her, she still had to do some superficial work so that Li Rulin wouldn't get angry.

"Sixty cents a catty, what do you think?"

"Can you add more?" This price is indeed far from her previous price.

"Miss Li, this price is already very high."

"Okay then, let's go over the scale."

Li Wanqing was also thankful that he made a quick move and made a lot of money.

Ji Fang hurriedly asked someone to say: "Miss Li, no more, no less, ten catties, six hundred Wen."

"Okay." Li Wanqing nodded, and accepted the money for selling dried shrimps. Li Wanqing remembered selling green vegetables for the villagers: "Brother Ji, I have something I want to talk to Mr. Ouyang, but he is not here."

Because Li Wanqing's recipes have brought a lot of business to their other semicolons, Ji Fang is very interested in Li Wanqing.

"What's the matter, Ms. Li, you might as well just tell me. I'll tell my master when he comes back."

"I just thought that since your son has other semicolons, there is a lot of demand for these vegetables. I wondered if you could buy the vegetables grown in our village. Of course, the price will be based on the market price."

"Well, our other branches already have fixed hawkers, and only Huayuanju has not been confirmed yet. I'm afraid they don't want much." Ji Fang wondered.

"Brother Ji, it doesn't matter, as long as the vegetables in our village can be sold, we can find a way to do the rest." Li Wanqing regretted that she didn't make an agreement with Ouyang Yuanhao in advance. In the current situation, she might not be able to talk to her. The village chief explained that he had to find other ways to make up for his fault.

"I know that Li Guzheng is a sensible person." Ji Fang was very tactful.

"Brother Ji won the prize, so I'll go back to the village and tell the villagers to see if any of them are willing to sell the vegetables. Well, Brother Ji, can you estimate how many catties of vegetables Huayuanju needs a day?"

"There weren't many customers at the opening, and I guess it's only seventy or eighty catties a day."

Li Wanqing counted silently in her heart. The vegetables grown by the villagers are all eaten by their own families, and the vegetables they eat are limited. They have to collect the vegetables from several houses in a day to be able to count them, and it takes a while for the vegetables to grow. Well, in this way, after one month, it's still not enough to supply Huayuanju.

Li Wanqing made up his mind, and immediately had an idea in his mind: "Thank you Brother Ji, I'll go back and talk to the villagers later."

"You're welcome." Ji Fang smiled gently.

After bidding farewell to Ji Fang, Li Wanqing and Li Rulin went to the grocery store to buy three large clay vats that she needed to start her workshop, and cut two portions of meat. Seeing that they were regular customers, the butcher sold them a big bone along the way.

The father and daughter drove the ox cart to the village slowly.

Along the way, Li Rulin was entangled in the price of dried shrimps.

"Father, this shrimp is not a precious thing in the first place. Our family can make a lot of money, but it's just ahead of others." Li Wanqing explained to Li Rulin that the price is inherently unstable. Today's precious things, It doesn't mean that gold will always be expensive, let alone dried shrimps with no technical content, the price drop is reasonable.

"But." Thinking of his younger brother's expectant eyes, Li Rulin felt very complicated.

"Father, the price of this dried shrimp has been reduced now, but it still costs [-] yuan a catty, and the second uncle doesn't need to be exposed to the sun and rain. In just two days, he can earn [-] yuan, and this dried shrimp It is a long-term supply, and the water will flow for a long time, and the accumulation of less will make more."

"But, it's still too little." Compared with the price they sold for the previous two times, the six hundred wen is really too little.

"If Second Uncle doesn't want to, I'll let Aunt Fu do it." Li Wanqing has no patience, and the price is beyond her control. How did she know that the price was reduced today?
Seeing his daughter angry, Li Rulin quickly said, "Father has no other intentions."

"What do you mean if there is no other meaning? Dad was present when the price was discussed just now. Why didn't you say it at that time?" Li Wanqing was really angry. If her father wasn't there at that time, would it be suspected that she was greedy? Uncle's money?Thinking of this possibility, Li Wanqing became even more depressed, turned her head to the other side, and ignored Li Rulin.

"Alas—" Li Rulin sighed and remained silent all the way home.
