Qili Village is remote, and no grain merchants have come here to harvest wheat so far, so Lao Zhoutou doesn't know what the current purchase price of wheat in the countryside is.
But he knew the price of the grain store, because his daughter just mentioned it to him last night.
So he felt that the wheat that was ten cents a bucket less than the grain shop was really cheap, which was a price of conscience.
So he went over his old wife and shook Bai Shanbao's hand, gratefully said: "Young master is kind."
Originally I wanted to ask why Master Bai was still transporting wheat from Longzhou, isn't it his own wheat...? The words are also forgotten.
In Lao Zhoutou's cognition, although Bai's house and Bai's family are two houses, they are actually one family.
Mrs. Liu has no grown-up males here, so she naturally has to rely on Master Bai, so what Bai Shanbao said in his house is representative of Master Bai.
Old Zhou Tou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that Master Bai is really a good man, they only made such a large sum of money from him before.
Thinking of this, old Zhoutou immediately said: "Young master, go back and tell Master Bai that if he still wants to buy my wheat as seeds when the summer harvest comes down, I'll give him a cheaper deal."
"No!" Bai Shanbao and Man Bao said in unison.
They both said at the same time: "Father (old man), how can you lower the price?"
"Ah?" Old Zhou stared. It's fine for his daughter to object, but the young master of the Bai family also objected. Shouldn't he be with Master Bai
Qian Shi glanced at him helplessly, didn't he understand until now? Bai Shan and Master Bai's family are two families!
Man Bao said: "Father, you lowered the price, what about our farm? We are our own family, you can't do this."
Bai Shanbao nodded approvingly.
Old Zhou stared blankly at Bai Shanbao. He and Man Bao belonged to the same family, but aren't the young master and Master Bai from the same family
Isn't he trying to sell Master Bai through the young master
Why does the young master of the Bai family object
Until sending people out of the gate, Lao Zhou was still a little confused.
Bai Shanbao also whispered to Man Bao, "We are in the same group, your family can't lower the price."
"Don't worry," Man Bao said, "I must take good care of my father, I'm not at home, and my mother is there."
Bai Shanbao was still relieved of Man Bao, so he waved his hand to bid her farewell, "That's fine, I'll go home first, I have class tomorrow, I have to go back to preview first."
Man Bao also tensed up, thinking that she would go back to the house to study after a while.
After both the master and the servant had gone far away, old Zhou Tou remembered that he still had one main question to ask, "Man Bao, have you agreed with the young master how many bags of wheat to buy?"
Old Zhou said: "Actually, the wheat will come down in another month, but if Mr. Bai buys wheat seeds from our family again...it's actually fine, and it doesn't look like there will be a flood this month. The ears of wheat have already begun to fill, and the drought will not have a big impact, after all, it just rained a few days ago... "
"So it's okay to buy some grain directly from the villagers at that time." Old Zhou Tou counted the days when the summer grain came down with his fingers. He was not good at other things, but his immediate reaction was comparable to Man Bao It's almost time, so I said: "Add some bran, two sacks are enough..."
Man Bao heard it, and immediately shouted: "I don't want bran-mixed steamed buns!"
The first few children immediately gathered around and said one after another: "Grandpa, grandpa, I don't want to eat either."
The sound was too noisy, as if there were hundreds of chickens clucking in his ears at the same time, and the old Zhou Tou waved his hands in disgust, "Okay, okay, don't eat if you don't want to eat, then buy three sacks gone."
The children were happy when they heard it, and the adults were also happy when they heard it. The family has only earned so much money, how can it be mixed with bran
Old Zhou turned to look for Mrs. Qian, and asked, "I don't know if elder brother and the others want to buy wheat. Anyway, the freshly ground flour at home can be eaten for several days. Why don't you wait for sister-in-law Ming'er and the others to come and ask?"
Qian Shi nodded: "Okay."
Old Zhou bowed his head and smiled brightly at Man Bao, and said in a soft voice: "Man Bao, can you tell the young master to keep the wheat for us for two more days, and don't sell it for the time being, maybe we It is also possible for the family to buy more bags.”
Man Bao said no problem, anyway, in Qili Village, Bai Shanbao's wheat could not be sold.
If it is sold to a grain merchant in Luojiang County, it seems that he will lose money again.
Old Zhou was happy, reached out and touched Man Bao's head and sighed: "Our family Man Bao is really getting better and better."
Man Bao and the old Zhou's family nodded approvingly. She also felt that she was getting better and better, and she would be even better in the future.
Because of Mr. Zhuang's tone of voice today, I am afraid that their studies will be as severe as the strong winds in summer and autumn, and the cold in winter and spring.
well-
After entering the door, Lao Zhou asked someone to close the door.
Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Zhoulang closed the gate in a daze, the sun was just going down and it was still bright, so why close the door in broad daylight
After closing the door, as the head of the family, Lao Zhou took the position on the threshold of the main room. As long as there was a family meeting, basically, this position was exclusively for him.
Qian didn't like to sit on the threshold, she still preferred to sit on a stool, so Man Bao dragged a small stool to sit with her mother.
Although it has been agreed, Lao Zhoutou still feels a little heartbroken when things come to an end.
But seeing that the old wife and daughter were looking at him with bright eyes, and all the children and grandchildren underneath were also looking at him in confusion, Lao Zhou knocked on the pipe and said imposingly: "Boss , Go and take out the silver you just exchanged."
"Oh." Zhou Dalang went into his parents' room in a daze, and found that the pannier he had brought back was still placed on the ground, and the silver inside hadn't been touched.
Zhou Dalang vaguely felt something was wrong, but he still carried the basket out.
Old Zhou asked him to take out the money in the cloth bag.
Zhou Dalang put it in front of his father obediently.
Old Zhou Tou opened the cloth bag, and inside was a pile of silver ingots that doubled in size but half the size.
Lao Zhoutou exchanged the twelve taels of silver for five taels.
He felt that their family would rarely use ten taels and one ingot.
Even though I have seen it several times, but looking at it again, the people of the old Zhou family still couldn't help but shine. They all thought at the same time: Our family is really rich.
But what the old Zhou thought was that I would soon run out of money, and sure enough, the money would not be able to stay in his hands.
No, he couldn't stay in his wife's hands!
Old Zhou Tou murmured: "I discussed it with your mother, so much money is useless with us, and you are all married and established..."
