He smiled and nodded, "Yes, the same price."
Man Bao smiled and narrowed his eyes, and also raised a pen to write a document. Master Bai couldn't help but said: "Man Bao, why don't you let Erlang come for your document, will Erlang know?"
Of course, Bai Erlang had also practiced it before, and he was eager to try it.
This was the first time Master Bai saw an expression of interest on his son's face after asking him for something.
Master Bai smiled and encouraged Man Bao: "Let Erlang write it."
Without even thinking about it, Man Bao gave Bai Erlang the pen. In the past two days, because the documents they wrote were always full of mistakes and omissions, they needed to constantly revise and transcribe, revise, and transcribe again. Man Bao was tired of writing.
It was the first time for Bai Erlang to do such a big thing in front of his father, so he was very excited and serious. After holding the pen, he began to write seriously. After writing a paragraph, he got stuck.
Then he couldn't help but peek at Man Bao.
This is his own document, Man Bao hurriedly went up to read it, and pointed out: "There is a big blank here, please fill in the numbers later."
Only then did Bai Erlang remember that when he was writing the homework assigned by his husband, he gave him the buying and selling price and the quantity of the goods, but they didn't have the quantity of the goods at this moment.
Bai Erlang asked, "How many buckets of wheat do you have?"
"I don't know, let's just weigh the catty when the time comes," Man Bao said, "So just write twelve and a half a catty here."
Bai Erlang looked at his father first.
Master Bai nodded in relief, "Remark one hundred and fifty coins a bucket later, and fill in the amount after that."
Bai Shanbao was the first to write the paper, but he didn't fill in the quantity. First, he didn't know it yet, so he had to go back and check the account books exchanged today;
Secondly, this kind of large transaction must be weighed again, and the exact number will be filled in at that time.
After Bai Shanbao finished writing, Bai Erlang also finished writing under Man Bao's guidance.
Master Bai read the two documents, nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, then we will make an appointment to weigh them tomorrow, and then we will pay the money and the goods."
Master Bai asked with a smile, "Do you want silver or copper plates?"
"silver!"
"Copper plate!"
Bai Shanbao and Man Bao said in unison, they glanced at each other, Bai Shanbao said: "Silver is good, it is easier to take and store."
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "But my family mostly uses copper plates, and rarely uses silver."
Master Bai smiled and said: "If you pay in silver, you have to pay according to the market price. Now copper coins are exchanged for silver at one thousand and two for one tael of silver."
Man Bao roughly counted the wheat he had at home, hesitated for a while, and said: "Then use silver."
It happened to be able to repay the debt of the county government.
Master Bai nodded in satisfaction, otherwise, where could he find so many copper coins all of a sudden
And it's heavy to move so many copper plates around.
Master Bai happily handed both documents to Bai Er, and said with a smile: "Son, the document has to be in duplicate, so you can copy one copy."
Bai Erlang has already shown it, and now he doesn't really want to write. He glanced at the document and said: "Father, let Man Bao come, she hasn't written yet."
Man Bao didn't bother to write, and said: "Your father asked you to write, and you can also practice handwriting along the way, how wonderful."
"That's right." Master Bai stuffed the document into his arms, and said, "Hurry up and write it. Didn't you see that it's dark outside? Have you had dinner yet?"
Only then did the three children feel hungry, and their stomachs ached at the same time, they were hungry!
Master Bai said with a smile: "Hurry up and write, I'll have someone prepare dinner for you."
Bai Erlang wanted to cry, and asked, "Father, can you ask them to help me?"
Master Bai said, "I don't care."
Bai Erlang looked at the two friends.
In order to eat, the two picked up the pen at the same time, and the three of them copied it together, and then put down the pen to eat dinner.
The three of them let go of their worries and were hungry, so they ate very deliciously. After eating an elbow, Bai Erlang remembered his father, raised his head and asked, "Father, don't you want to eat?"
Master Bai glanced at him and said, "Your father and I ate it from the county."
However, he was indeed a little hungry right now. Master Bai hesitated between health preservation and delicious food, but he still raised his chopsticks.
When the three children were full, he called his servants to send them away. Bai Erlang sat still on the chair and said, "Father, I won't go there to live there. You send someone to send Shanbao over there." Just do it."
Master Bai glanced at him, reconfirmed that the son was a little traitor, he didn't bother to talk to him, and waved him away directly.
Just after leaving the main room, Daji followed, bowed and said: "Master, Madam has been looking for you three times, you have to report to Madam when you go back."
Then he said to Man Bao: "Miss Man, your family has also come to look for you three times, and the last time was your fourth brother. From what I heard, it seems that the master and wife in the house are angry."
"Ah?" Man Bao understood after a little thought, it must be for today's wheat exchange, so she took her paperwork and waved goodbye to Bai Shanbao, "See you tomorrow."
Bai Shanbao waved his paw lazily, watching her run away with her belly outstretched.
The servant following Man Bao hastily moved the lantern in his hand a little further, and said repeatedly: "Miss Man, slow down, you are just full."
The two trotted to the gate of Zhou's house, and the servants didn't have to knock on the door, because the gate was wide open.
While running in, Man Bao turned his head and waved at him, "Go back quickly, be careful on the road."
It wasn't long before it was dark, and everyone hadn't slept yet, but were enjoying the shade in the yard, talking or doing some work.
For example, Zhou Zhoulang was tying up the dried bamboo strips in the dark.
It’s just that the atmosphere tonight was a little uneasy. Seeing Man Bao’s return, Zhou Wulang floated out from nowhere, and whispered to her: “Father is angry with mother, just now he found an excuse to scold the elder brother and the second elder brother... "
Big Brother and Second Brother are so pitiful.
Old Zhou Tou was obviously upset, so he didn't go to bed early tonight, but sat on the threshold of the main room while blowing the air, smoking, and worrying.
Qian sat on a stool not far away and combed the hair of the three granddaughters.
Man Bao ran over and shouted happily, "Mother, father!"
Qian Shi smiled, and she knew that the child had probably fulfilled his wish when she heard this sound. She squinted her eyes and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Eat, Master Bai invited you." Man Bao didn't talk to mother again, but sat on the threshold, twisting and twisting his little buttocks, and moved directly to Father's side, and said happily: "Father, you Guess what this is?"
Master Bai glanced at the paper in her hand, and said, "What is it? Your homework? Did the master praise you again?"
"No, this is the document that Master Bai and I ordered," Man Bao said, "I asked Mother not to exchange the wheat, because our family can sell the wheat directly to Master Bai."
