The flowering period works

Chapter Seventy: A Different Kind of Robbing the Rich to Hel

    

lent.Everyone looked at Old Li in astonishment, not understanding why she said that.Although things are better now and we don't starve anymore, studying is still very expensive. It's just too much of...The greens were bundled together, about the thickness of a bowl's opening, and sold for fifty wen.

Li's family brought four small baskets and sold a total of four liang six.

Cucumbers and eggplants are sold individually for fifty mon.

Cowpeas and broad beans were originally weighed by the jin, but people got impatient with the weighing.

To simplify things, I'll just say that a handful of yard-long beans will cost 200 wen. For soybean pods, just grab them with your hands, no matter how many you take, it's still 200 wen.

This way of selling, half a cart of greens earned ten taels and fifty wen.

Li Lao'er and Li Lao'si were both so shocked that their mouths could not close.

This isn't just any vegetables, this is practically gold!

You know, in past years these things were cheap. Putting them all together, selling for a hundred wen was already quite good.

Otherwise, wouldn't farmers become wealthy just by planting vegetables

It's not that there's too much for the family to eat, it's just that no one would bring them into town even if they wilted in the vegetable garden.

Nowadays, due to the drought's impact, profits have increased by a hundredfold.

"Haha, this is great news!"

The head of Liu's bodyguard was genuinely happy for the Li family.

"Your family is just so lucky. Other people are crying over drought, and your family is actually making a fortune!"

Li Lao'er and Li Lao'si were also thrilled, but they still had to be polite.

"Thanks to the well in our house."

"That's right, luckily we have water, otherwise we couldn't grow vegetables. Of course, Brother Zhou is also very capable. If it were us selling, we would definitely lose half."

Zhou Guan was so flattered, he stammered.

"Where, where, our home-grown vegetables are still the best. The leaves don't even have a single wormhole on them, they look so good."

Li Laoer hurried home to announce the good news and was about to give Zhou Guan a share of the silver.

Zhou Guanxi waved his hands again and again, "Second Brother, don't worry, aren't we still going to sell a section later Let's calculate everything together at the end."

"Alright then, I'll go back and keep track of the accounts. You keep track too! When this business is done, come to my house for a drink."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Li La Er and Li La Si left the鏢局 and rushed home.

Li Laotai spent the entire morning fidgeting and pacing, frequently going to the door to look out.

She couldn't bear to have her granddaughter bask in the sun, so she put her granddaughter under the eaves and ran back and forth herself.

Jia Yin was often tickled into giggles by her grandma.

If Father and Uncle Two don't come back soon, Grandma will wear a path through the courtyard with all her pacing.

Jia'an and Jiaxi hid behind the porch column, also secretly watching their grandmother.

"Grandma, what's wrong Second Uncle just came back from the city. Did Grandma buy good things"

"Maybe, I'd guess snacks."

"I guess it's sesame sugar."

Jia Yin was laughing non-stop. These two brothers are foodies, the assessment is complete!

Her smile reminded Jiaxi and Ji'an.

On weekdays, Grandma was very strict with my younger sister, rarely letting them hold hands. She wouldn't even allow touching her sister's face.

This is a good opportunity because Grandma isn't here.

Two people huddled up to their younger sister's side, making silly faces to tease her.

Jia Yin sputtered out two bubbles of saliva and struggled to get up.

Her intention was to have her brother carry her to the door to take a look, but Jiaxi and Jian understood it wrong.

Thinking their sister was about to walk, the two held onto her hands each and eagerly led her forward.

Jia Yin helplessly had to begin walking.

A tiny frame that hasn't even turned one year old, with legs so soft and wobbly, barely able to muster any strength.

Luckily, I was being pulled by both hands and could still keep my balance.

The three siblings walked back and forth under the eaves, both of them overjoyed.

"Wow, little sister is amazing!"

"Yes, yes, that's the way!"

At this time, Li Laotai suddenly cried out with joy, "Finally, you're back!"

Jia'an and Jiaxi turned their heads and jumped up, cheering, "Second Uncle is back!"

The two of them let go of each other's hands and dashed toward the gate.

Jia Yin lost her support, her heart panicked for a moment, her feet became confused, and she fell straight to the ground.

She wanted to hold back her tears, but it hurt too much, "Wow, wow!"

Tao Hongying heard the noise and came out from the kitchen. She ran forward and hugged her daughter. Looking down, she saw that her daughter's upper lip was broken and bleeding.

"Don't cry, Funiu, don't cry! Look, Mama will look at you and blow on you."

Tao Hongying panicked, and Zhao Yuru, who came after her, was also frightened.

"How did you fall so badly!"

She hurried into the house to get some powder.

Previously, Jia Yin had a high fever and scared the whole family half to death. Later, when we went back to the city, we bought a lot of medicine as a backup.

This medicine powder was brought back by Old Li Si from the escort agency. He was afraid that his daughter would get hurt when she learned to walk. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

Li Laotai ran back in three or two steps. Seeing her granddaughter was hurt, she raised her hand and slapped herself.

How could you be so obsessed with silver that you left your granddaughter exposed to the elements

"Mother, please don't be like this. It's normal for children to stumble and fall."

Tao Hongying endured the heartache and applied medicine to her daughter's wound. The medicated powder was effective, and since the injury wasn't severe, it stopped bleeding quickly.

Jia Yin stopped crying, but Jia An and Jia Xi were about to be scared out of their wits.

They just abandoned their younger sister, which is why she got hurt.

The two of them greased their feet and ran straight to the next courtyard...

Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si drove a mule cart into the yard and found Jia Yin was injured.

Before they could even unload their things, the two rushed to see Jiayin. Everyone immediately surrounded her and escorted her into the house.

In a hurry, Jia Yin learned how much silver Li Laosì had earned and rushed to him.

Li Laosi quickly hugged his daughter and said with a smile.

"Funiu is a money-grubber, isn't she Does she know her daddy has silver here"

Jia Yin's little chubby hand reached out to touch her father's shoulder bag. She wanted to smile, but her lips hurt when she tried.

Old Li was heartbroken and quickly urged her son on.

"Quickly get the silver and give it to Fúniū. When she's happy, she won't be in pain anymore."

Li Lao Si turned his bag inside out, and a clatter of copper coins and silver pieces spilled out.

Everyone was shocked and their mouths hung open.

"This seems to be about seven or eight ounces, isn't that too much"

Last night, Tao Hongying helped tie up the vegetables. Since she knew so much, she was even more surprised.

Li Laotai was also happy, first grabbing a piece of silver and putting it in her granddaughter's hand.

As expected, Jiayin's eyes lit up with a smile and her mouth watered.

"Look, silver is better than medicine powder."

Everyone laughed and then asked about entering the city.

Li La Er detailed his account, and finally, he was filled with excitement.

"You can still send over vegetables later, Zhou will be in charge of selling them."

"That's good, our family doesn't have any troublemakers, so naturally there will be less gossip. As for giving him a tenth, it's also deserved. It wasn't easy for him to run errands and find buyers."

Li Laotai affirmed her son's actions, putting both Li Laoer and Li Laosi at ease.

After all, a considerable amount of silver is involved. Selling ten taels a day and giving Zhou the manager a tael as a "grease money", after half a month, it would be fifteen taels or so.

Fortunately, the old woman was sensible and never disappointed her grandchildren.

Villagers often came and went from the house. Li Lao Tai was afraid that her wealth would be exposed. She quickly put away the silver and sent it to the inner room.

As expected, shortly after, Uncle Zhao from next door came over with Jia An and Jia Xi.

The two boys cried, tears and snot streaming down their faces. Especially when they looked at Jia Yin and her bloody lips, their cries became even louder.

"What else doesn't Old Li know" she snorted coldly.

"To run away after making a mistake You have some guts! How do you even know when to come back Are you hoping Old Zhao will speak up for you"

Jīa'ān Jiāxǐ cried so hard that she hiccuped, “We didn't mean to!”et me tell you, we are the good people of Heavenly Martial who built our new homeland and grew such fine fruits and vegetables. 。The Emperor bestowed upon the bitter melon the name "Biyu," and the fra...
