After getting the money, Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang wanted to see the cotton, cloth and various seeds. As for the remaining pile of yams, they decided to take them home, wash them, cut them up and dry them in the sun as Dr. Zheng said, and then bring them to the pharmacy.
Man Bao felt that it was too troublesome. Since the shopkeeper uncle said that rich people would use it as a medicinal meal, she went to drag the fifth and sixth brothers to the county government.
He also waved to Zhou Dalang and Zhou Yilang, "Big brother, second brother, go shopping slowly, don't worry about us."
Zhou Dalang knew that the fifth and sixth sons were already familiar with each other in the county, so he didn't worry about them, so he told them to look after the younger ones and left with Zhou Zhoulang.
Man Bao insisted on keeping the cart and yam, and curiously followed Zhou Wulang to the county government.
She has never been to the county government office since she grew up, so she insisted not to go to the back corner door of Fu's house, but Zhou Wulang pushed her to go to the front door of the county government office first.
To be honest, Wu Wulang had never been close to the county government office. He used to come to Miss Fu Er to sell sugar, but he turned directly to the back corner door.
There are two yamen guards on both sides of the gate of the county yamen, and there is a high stone wall on the side of the county yamen, on which many notices are densely pasted.
Since entering school, Man Bao has to study for a long time when he sees a word outside, not to mention seeing so many words now.
So she disregarded Fifth Brother's obstruction, climbed off the scooter and ran up to have a look.
The two yamen servants guarding the door turned their heads and looked over. Wu Wulang bit the bullet and chased after him, muttering in a low voice: "Man Bao, little ancestor, let's go home and play, aren't you going to find Second Miss Fu?"
Man Bao ignored him, stood on tiptoe to read the announcement posted on the stone wall, and read word by word: "Winter campaign in the fifth year of Wenzhi, from October 22 to November 21, a total of 30 days, It is necessary to build two water conservancy lines in Baima Town, and level the Guoguan Road from the town to the county... "
Man Bao thought something was wrong, and said with his fingers: "Isn't next month October?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Wu Wulang obviously didn't understand very well.
Man Bao pointed to the last line of words and said: "One family and one member, there must be no mistakes, and they are going to serve."
Wu Wulang was stunned, glanced at the announcement, picked up Man Bao and left.
Man Bao lay on his shoulders and waved goodbye to the two yamen guards who came over curiously at the door, and chatted with her fifth brother, "Fifth brother, who is going to serve in our family?"
Wu Wulang said in a muffled voice: "According to the rules, it's the third brother's turn this year."
Saturday Lang was guarding the cart, and he didn't know what they said on the side of the stone wall. Seeing Brother Wu's expression was not good, he asked Man Bao in a low voice, "Did you make Brother Wu angry?"
"I don't have one," Man Bao said unconvinced, "I'm so good!"
Saturday Lang stopped talking, and silently pushed the cart to the rear corner door of the house behind the county office.
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang came every day for a while ago, and during this time they came here every now and then, and the boy at the corner gate was already familiar with them.
Liu Liulang skillfully stuffed him with a few candies, and after a while, a girl came out with a purse.
When she saw Man Bao, she gasped and said, "Why did the young lady of the Zhou family come in person this time?"
Man Bao looked at her curiously, and the little girl smiled and said, "Miss, don't you remember me? When I bought the flower basket, I was in the car with my young lady. My name is Qiuyue."
Man Bao immediately asked, "Is there another sister named Chunhua?"
Qiuyue couldn't help laughing and bent over, said: "You are really right, there is a sister Chunhua in our lady's courtyard, what kind of candy did you bring this time? Let me tell you first, if it is not delicious, we don't want it." .”
Wu Wulang stuffed one for her with a smile, and whispered: "It's delicious, it's different from last time, it's a new one."
Qiuyue stuffed it into her mouth and ate it, and asked as she ate, "Isn't there any other place?"
"No, I'll come to your house first when I get it. I think that the second lady is a regular customer, and she is generous with the price. The second lady has to eat it before I can give it to others."
Liu Liulang was no stranger to Fifth Brother's glib tongue, but Datou and Daya were looking at him with admiration, thinking that Fifth Uncle's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is amazing.
On the other hand, Man Bao agreed, and showed Qiuyue a piece of yam, "If we have something good, we must think about Second Sister Fu first. After all, we are customers with other people, but we are not with Second Sister Fu." , look, this is a yam that my family dug from a very high mountain, do you know what a yam is?"
The little girl shook her head, she didn't know.
Luojiang County is not rich, and it depends on luck to dig up wild things like yams, and it depends on luck whether the Fu family can buy them after they are dug up, how does the little girl know
Man Bao learns and sells it now, telling her that yam is an ingredient that can be used as medicine, a medicine that can be used as an ingredient, it is warm in the middle and sweet, it is a good thing for invigorating the spleen and nourishing qi, and it is best for the elderly, women and children to eat.
If you don’t believe me, you can ask the doctor. Anyway, the shopkeeper Zheng of Jishitang has agreed, so don’t you have one at home
In the end, the little girl Qiuyue didn't have time to buy candy, so she was stuffed with two candies and a yam.
She came back to her senses when she was about to walk back to the yard. She wanted to leave, but Chunhua happened to see her, so she could only go in with a blushing face and report to the young lady.
Man Bao squatted outside the corner door with his five brothers and six brothers and waited.
Wu Wulang said to her, "We should wait until she buys sugar before recommending yam."
"The value of sugar can't compare to that of yam, fifth brother, do the math, a hundred pieces of candy only cost one hundred Wen, and a catty of yam is twenty Wen."
Wu Wulang said: "One catty is the price of drying."
Man Bao said: "Aren't they all about the same?"
"It's far away. Look at the centella asiatica. We pulled a whole yard. When it was raw, a handful weighed a pound, but it turned out that a pound didn't weigh two or two in the sun. Do you think it can be the same?"
Wu Wulang was planning to have a serious theory with his sister when suddenly the corner door opened, and a lady in an apron came out with a straight face and asked, "Who said there are yams for sale?"
"I, I!" Man Bao immediately raised his little hand to let her look at the yams on the cart.
The lady glanced at her, then lowered her head to look at the yam, and found that the quality was similar to the one Qiuyue brought to the kitchen, so she nodded and said, "Okay, we'll have both."
Man Bao said: "I want to keep one."
The lady frowned, and looked at Zhou Wulang, "Since we have everything in our family, it's not easy for you to sell it to others, right?"
Zhou Wulang lowered his head to coax Man Bao.
Man Bao said: "I want to eat it for my mother. I bought meat and stewed it together. My mother will be healthy after eating it."
Wu Wulang immediately bent over to his wife, and said with a flattering smile: "My lady is surprised, my mother is not in good health, and my younger sister misses my mother, you see, otherwise, the one that Qiuyue took in just now is a free gift from us." , we’ll leave one here and sell the rest to you, okay?”
The lady glanced at Man Bao unexpectedly, but she didn't want to pursue it, as long as she didn't sell it to another family. So she nodded and asked, "How much?"
Man Bao blinked his big eyes and looked at her, "Twenty Wen a catty."
The lady didn't hesitate, she nodded and said, "All right."
Zhou Wulang and the others opened their mouths wide, how did they make such a price
