A bundle of green vegetables as thick as the mouth of a bowl was sold for fifty cents.
The Li family brought four small baskets and sold them for a total of four liang.
Cucumbers, eggplants, etc. are all sold individually for fifty cents each.
Cowpeas and snap beans were originally weighed by the pound, but people were impatient to weigh them.
It's simply simpler, and a cowpea with a wrist as thick as a cowpea would be given 200 coins. Grabbing the green beans with one hand and scooping them out with both hands, no matter how much it is, it's still two hundred coins.
Sold like this, half a cart of vegetables was worth twelve hundred and fifty cents.
Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
This is not a green vegetable, it is simply a golden vegetable!
You know, these things were cheap in previous years, and if they could be sold for a hundred coins together, it was pretty good.
Otherwise, wouldn't farmers be able to make a fortune just by growing vegetables?
It's not like there won't be enough food for the family, and I would rather leave it to wither in the vegetable garden than have anyone send it to the city.
Now, thanks to the impact of the drought, profits have actually increased a hundred times.
"Haha, this is a great event!"
Liu Biaotou was really happy for the Li family.
"Your family is just lucky. People cry for father and mother when there is a drought. Your family can actually make a fortune!"
Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si also felt happy in their hearts, but they still wanted to be polite.
"Thanks to the well at home."
"Yes, fortunately there is water, otherwise we wouldn't be able to grow vegetables. Of course, brother Zhou is very capable. If we sold it, we would definitely lose half of it."
Manager Zhou was so dizzy with the praise that he hurriedly said.
"No, no, our vegetables are still rare. There aren't even any insect holes on the leaves, and they look so good."
Li Laoer was anxious to go home to announce the good news, and wanted to share the money with Manager Zhou.
Manager Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, "Second brother, don't worry, won't we have to sell a section later? Let's figure it out together in the end."
"That's okay, I'll keep the accounts when I get back. Brother, you can also keep them! This business is done. Let's go have a drink at home."
After a few words of greeting, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si left the escort office and rushed home happily.
Mrs. Li was restless all morning and looked at the door from time to time.
She couldn't bear to let her granddaughter bask in the sun, so she put her granddaughter under the eaves and ran back and forth by herself.
Jiayin was made to giggle by her grandma from time to time.
If dad and second uncle don't come back, grandma will step on a ditch in the yard.
Jia'an and Jiaxi were hiding behind the pillars, secretly watching their grandma.
"What's wrong with grandma? My second uncle just went to town. Did grandma buy something?"
"It's possible, I guess it's snacks."
"I guess it's sesame candy."
Hearing the good news, they couldn't stop laughing. My brother is a foodie, so the appraisal is complete!
She smiled like this, which reminded Jia Xi and Jia An.
On weekdays, grandma is too strict with her sister and rarely lets them help her. If she wants to touch her face, she will be kicked out.
It's a good opportunity to take advantage of grandma's absence at this time.
The two of them moved closer to their sister, making funny faces.
Jiayin spat out two saliva bubbles and struggled to get up.
Her original intention was to let her brother carry her to the door to check, but Jiaxi and Jiaan misunderstood.
The two of them thought their sister was about to walk, so each of them took her hand and led her forward happily.
Jiayin had no choice but to start walking.
With a small body that is not yet one year old, her legs are limp and cannot exert much strength.
Fortunately, his hands were pulled and he could still maintain balance.
The three brothers and sisters walked around twice under the eaves, and they were all happy.
"Sister is so awesome!"
"Yes, yes, let's go like this!"
At this time, Mrs. Li suddenly shouted happily, "I'm finally back!"
Jia'an and Jiaxi turned to look, jumped up and cheered, "Second uncle came back!"
The two of them let go and ran towards the door.
Jiayin had no support. She was flustered for a moment, her feet were confused, and she fell straight to the ground.
She tried to hold back her tears, but it was too painful. "Wow, wow!"
Tao Hongying heard the noise and came out of the stove, ran forward and hugged her daughter. Looking down, I saw that my daughter's upper lip was cut and bleeding.
"Fu Niu, don't cry, don't cry! Look at me, please blow me off."
Tao Hongying panicked, and Zhao Yuru, who came later, was also frightened.
"Why did you fall so hard!"
She quickly ran into the house to get the powder.
Jiayin had a fever earlier, which scared the whole family to death. Then he went to the city and bought a lot of backup medicine.
Li Laosi got this medicinal powder from the escort agency because he was afraid that his daughter might fall while learning to walk. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy today.
Mrs. Li ran back in two steps. Seeing that her granddaughter was injured, she raised her hand and slapped herself.
Why did he put his granddaughter under the eaves of the corridor because he was worried about money?
"Mom, don't be like this. It's normal for children to stumble."
Tao Hongying endured her heartache and applied medicine to her daughter. The powder was easy to use, the wound was not big, and the bleeding stopped quickly.
Jiayin stopped crying, but Jiaan and Jiaxi were scared crazy.
They had just abandoned their sister, causing her to be injured.
The two of them greased their feet and ran directly to the yard next door...
Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si led the mule cart into the yard and found that Jiayin was injured.
The two of them didn't have time to unload the car, so they came to see Jiayin. Everyone gathered around Jiayin and entered the house.
Jiayin was anxious about how much money he had earned, so he reached out to Li Laosi.
Li Laosi quickly hugged his daughter and said with a smile.
"Fu Niu is a money addict. Does she know that daddy has money here?"
Jiayin's little chubby hand touched the robe on daddy's shoulder. She wanted to smile, but her lips hurt.
Mrs. Li felt very distressed and quickly urged her son.
"Hurry up and take out the silver and give it to Fu Niu. She will be happy and the pain won't hurt anymore."
Li Laosi turned his robe upside down and a pile of copper coins and broken silver fell out.
Everyone opened their mouths in shock.
"This seems to be seven or eight taels. Is it too much?"
Tao Hongying helped bundle vegetables last night. She knew how much, so she was even more surprised.
Mrs. Li was also happy. She grabbed a piece of silver and stuffed it into her granddaughter's hand.
Sure enough, Jiayin beamed and drooled.
"Look, silver is more useful than medicinal powder."
Everyone laughed, and then asked about entering the city.
Li Laoer said it carefully and was excited at the end.
"We can also send vegetables over in the future, and Manager Zhou will be responsible for selling them."
"That's good. We don't show up at home, so there will be less talk. As for giving him 10%, that's right. It's not easy for people to run errands to find buyers."
Mrs. Li affirmed her son's approach, which made both Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si feel relieved.
After all, a lot of money is involved. If you sell ten taels a day, you can give Manager Zhou one tael to moisten his hands. After ten and a half months, it will be more than a dozen taels.
Fortunately, the old lady was sensible and never let her children and grandchildren down.
People from the village often come and go at home, and Mrs. Li is afraid that her money will be exposed. She quickly collected the money and sent it into the back room.
Sure enough, after a while, Uncle Zhao from next door led Jiaan and Jiaxi over.
The two boys cried until they had runny noses and tears. Especially when they looked at Xiang Jiayin's bloody lips, they cried even louder.
What else does Mrs. Li not know? She snorted and cursed.
"Run away after making a mistake. Are you really promising? How do you know you are back at this time? Do you expect your Grandpa Zhao to intercede and support you?"
Jia An Jiaxi burst into tears and hiccupped, "We didn't do it on purpose!"
