Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 249 Chapter 240 Eighth: Moisture

The woman smiled shyly, "It's been washed. It's not intended to be sold. It's the same as selling vegetables. If it's cleaned, it will look better. Auntie, you don't have to worry about keeping it?"

This is true, for the buyer to consider.

But Song Qiu looked at the sweet potato skin, not only had it been washed, it must have been soaked in water for at least one night.

I don't know if the family really wanted to do well for the buyer, or something else.

But the sweet potato has been soaked in water, and if there is too much water, it will be heavier no matter what.

Song Qiu took a closer look at the woman, saw that she was smiling, and she looked a little shy and embarrassed, but it was the man next to the woman who kept grabbing the hem of her clothes when the woman was talking, and kept using his peripheral vision Looking at her milk's reaction secretly, she seemed a little embarrassed.

Before Song Qiu could say anything, old Yuan Shi had already started to speak, "This sweet potato looks clean after being washed, but the one that has been soaked in water is heavier than the one that has not been soaked in water. If it is one catty or two catties, I will not say Now, you have a lot, two loads, at least two or three stones, this is a lot of weight."

When the woman heard it, her face was stunned, she obviously didn't think of it, or she didn't think there would be any problem after thinking of it.

Immediately he continued: "Oh, I just wanted to wash it clean and look better, but I didn't think about it, auntie, we picked it all the way, look at this..." Or just call it, I don't care about the point, do I?

"Why don't you move back first and spread it out to dry in the sun, the sun is good today, so let's call it your name in the end." Old Yuan directly interrupted the woman before she finished speaking.

When the woman heard that they were going to be weighed at the end, and they had to dig out all the busy work, she was a little unhappy. She managed to squeeze in the front one just now, so let her go to the back, what should I do?
"Auntie, our couple set off from home early in the morning and picked a road for more than ten miles. We are tired and hungry. You tell us to wait. When will we have to wait? There is still a baby waiting for us to go home Well, do you think it’s better to pass us first? It’s okay to lose a catty or two.”

It's not a matter of a catty or two for these two picks.

Old Yuan frowned. With so many people watching, it's not easy to show her face and tell her plainly.

Can she suffer this loss?That's not okay, even a copper coin is earned by her granddaughter's worry!
Just as he was about to speak, a woman at the back laughed and shouted, "I said Bupleurum's family! I told you about both of you when you and I washed up all afternoon yesterday. This is a waste of time, my God!" When it’s bright, pick it up from the water basin, pick it up and still drip water all the way, it didn’t break your little body! It’s good now, people can’t beat you, so you should be dawdling! I said don’t Delay us big guys, hurry up and start, whose family is not a mess?"

When the woman in front heard this, her complexion became a little bad. She was in the same village as this woman, and she didn't deal with it at first, so she turned back cursing immediately.

Another man in the line said: "Who is looking at you and doesn't know who you are, who is so diligent and willing to plan for the buyer? Isn't it because of the weight of the water? Why else are you two willing to spend more money?" I tried my best to soak the sweet potatoes!"

"Nowadays people don't want to accept yours first, and it's not that they won't accept them. I said hurry up and turn them over and dry them in the sun, or they won't accept them at all. I'll see you two cry slowly!"

The woman was hit by the truth, seeing everyone staring at her, and even the people in Songshan Village pointing fingers, she felt ashamed, and she was really afraid that the Song family would not accept them later, so they would not accept her. Dare to swear any more, honestly give up his position and go back.

Her man didn't say anything, he blushed in shame, and honestly carried the burden out of the yard, found a clean place to turn out the sweet potatoes and spread them out to dry.

The woman followed, watching people from the same village go by one by one to get the silver, but she had to stand here to dry the sweet potatoes, cursing in her heart.

Still thinking that the Song family is just grandparents and grandchildren, and they can't afford to quarrel. They don't care about her sweet potatoes getting into the water. How can they pick them up like this?

In addition to this woman's bad start, all the sweet potatoes that passed through several houses in a row afterward were all dry sweet potatoes that had been cleaned of mud.

The old Yuan was busy saying, Song Qiu settled the account and handed over the silver, and Zhao Anzi and Wen Shunzi, who happened to have empty hands and waited for the bucket of crushed sweet potatoes to be filled, ran over to help carry the harvested sweet potatoes into the house. I vacated the baskets and came out in the baskets so that they could be returned to others.

There are only about twenty families who came to this village, and nearly two hundred shi have been collected, and the last two are still left.

One is the couple who are still spreading sweet potatoes, and the other is the last one.

Mrs. Hu frowned, and asked people to lift it up the scale without hesitation.

First of all, that one was soaked in water and weighed a lot, but this one did not need to look in the basket to see a lot of dug and rotten ones.

A total of seven people came to this house, an old man with two men and three boys, and each of them carried a load, some full or half full, and an old woman with a basket on her back followed.

There were twelve baskets and a basket, and there were many rotten sweet potatoes in them.

This is too much, at least it is seven or eight stones, and the rotten sweet potatoes in it account for how much.

The old Yuan said: "We don't accept the rotten ones. You first pick and choose by yourself. Pick out the rotten ones and then use the rest."

When the men heard this, you looked at me and I looked at yours, not knowing what to do.

But the old woman jumped out immediately, "I said big sister, what's wrong with this? Don't talk nonsense, our family just dug it from the ground and sent it here. It's only been a day or two. How can sweet potatoes be rotten? In the past, we would have some that haven’t rotted for a few months! Why did you accept all the previous ones, but not mine? Who do you look down on?”

Old Yuan's face turned dark when she sprayed her all over his face suddenly, she knew this woman.

Last year, I went to her house to deliver a baby. Her daughter-in-law gave birth to a thin girl. The old woman came out cursing as soon as she heard it. When she left her house with half a bag of beans, she heard the old woman swearing at another daughter-in-law , Don't kill the prepared chicken, just give birth to a girl who doesn't need money, make up for it, don't give up milk, etc.

This woman is not a good friend, it's a mess.

"I mean, if it's dug up and rotten, we don't accept it, no matter if it's rotten or dug up. If it's dug up and rotten, it will all go bad the next day. It's not for nothing that I keep it. gone?"

The old woman was taken aback, and immediately yelled again, "Ouch! Who doesn't dig up some sweet potatoes here? You collected them earlier, and if you don't look carefully, which one doesn't have a few rotten ones in it? This is rotten. It’s not that it’s spoiled, it’s not the same food! If you don’t like it, when there is no food to eat, this is a good thing!”
