Chapter 72

There wasn't much trouble about the daughter of the Chen family's second wife jumping into the river, and the villagers soon forgot about it.

Today, people in the West Village are most concerned about the mushrooms in the East Village and the bamboo sheds they built.

As a result, villagers from the West Village came to visit the East Village in twos and threes, asking a few questions from time to time.

But now the East Village people are thieves, and they don't want to talk to the West Village people very much. They often say a few perfunctory words, justify that they are too busy to answer, and drive them away in disguise.

However, the people in the West Village were not willing to give up easily, and tried every means to spy. Those with thick skins even went to the Jiang family to learn from them, but they were turned away by the Jiang family.

One day, a large mule cart drove into the village, followed by several servants riding donkeys.

After the mule driver asked where Jiang Sanlang's house was, he drove straight to his house.

"Is Jiang Sanlang at home?"

Zhou Mao jumped off the mule cart, came to the gate of the bamboo fence and yelled.

Jiang Sanlang happened to be picking cotton seeds at home, and went out to open the door when he heard the sound.

"Yo! It's Manager Zhou, a rare visitor."

Jiang Sanlang cupped his fists at Zhou Mao, let him and his party into the house, and invited them to sit down.

Chunniang hurriedly got up and went to the stove to make tea.

Zhou Mao looked at Jiang Sanlang's house, said nothing, and sat down on the broken bench with his robe lifted.

Rolling up his sleeves, he said with a smile, "Your golden ears are all dry."

"Of course." Jiang Sanlang also smiled: "Boss Zhou, you came just in time, we are all ready."

As long as you go outside and shout, the villagers will probably send the golden ear snow ear.

"What about those high-quality goods? How much did you charge this time?"

Zhou Mao came here mainly for the high-quality goods this time, which have already been sold for 50 taels of silver in Fucheng, which is more expensive than [-]-year-old ginseng.

This is because not many people know about it. If those aristocratic families know about it, it is estimated that the door of their own business will be smashed by the servants of the family, and the price should be sky-high.

Of course, he will not let the Jiang family know about these things.

"A total of twelve catties of high-quality goods were produced," Jiang Sanlang said.

Among them, there are five catties for my family, three catties each for the elder brother and the second brother, and two catties for the father.

The little girl Ying Baozhong is not included.

"Only twelve catties?" This is too little.

Zhou Mao was a little disappointed, "Bring them to me to see."

Twelve catties is twelve catties, it's better than nothing.Alas, going back is not enough for a few distinguished guests.

The owner of the Light Commercial Bank has to reserve three catties for himself, let alone other distinguished guests, all of whom are waiting for him to bring back the fine golden ear.

Jiang Sanlang moved two large baskets out of the house and placed them in front of Zhou Mao.

Zhou Mao picked them up and sniffed them one by one, for fear that Jiang Sanlang might make a fake one.

Jiang Sanlang ignored him and just watched quietly.

Yingbao also came out of the house, followed by the twins.

After Zhou Mao finally inspected the fine products, he ordered the boy to weigh them.

After weighing the high-quality golden ears, Zhou Mao asked again: "Don't you still have high-quality white fungus at home? Why don't you take them out?"

Jiang Sanlang said with a smile: "To be honest, that fine fungus has already been ordered by another family."

"What?" Zhou Mao was unhappy, "I said Brother Jiang, you are not authentic, you agreed that I would come and get it, and you don't need to run errands, but you actually ordered the fine snow fungus to another family?"

Jiang Sanlang smiled, "But Manager Zhou didn't say that we wouldn't let us sell it to others, and we didn't sign a contract. Of course, whoever has the highest price will set it up."

Zhou Mao angrily pointed at Jiang Sanlang and wanted to scold him, but he didn't dare to scold him out loud, so he asked angrily, "How much is the other family paying?"

Jiang Sanlang didn't raise it too high, and said, "I gave you five taels of silver for a catty of high-quality snow fungus."

"What?" Zhou Mao gritted his teeth, but still cursed, "You, you black heart, how dare you frame me!"

Jiang Sanlang looked calm, "They did give so much, you think it's too expensive for Mr. Zhou, but others don't."

Zhou Mao was so angry that he walked around in circles, and finally gritted his teeth, "Okay! I'll give you five taels too, so you quickly take out the snow fungus, remember that it's a fine product, and I'll make you look better with a fake flower!"

Jiang Sanlang then went into the house and took out two more baskets of fungus, "It's eight catties in total, I can only give you half of it, and the other half will be left for that guest."

Zhou Mao rushed over as soon as he heard it, picked up two baskets and left, saying, "Don't dream!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered the young man to get on the scale quickly, and after the scale was finished, he moved it directly to the mule cart, and ordered a servant to take care of the basket.

Yingbao saw her father's treachery from the sidelines, and she was simply amazed.

Hey, I still need to study harder with my father, this ability to fool people will be of great use in the future.

The next step is to scale the common golden ear.

Jiang Sanlang planted [-] golden ears, Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang each planted [-], old man Jiang planted [-], Jiang Cheng also planted [-], even Dani Erni also planted [-].

It is estimated that the Jiang family will have to plant this amount in the future.

"Golden ears are 52 catties, and snow fungus is [-] catties." The boy reported the count.

Zhou Mao took out his abacus and snapped it. "A total of 330 seven taels and five hundred dollars."

This is the most sales ever, Jiang Sanlang pursed his lips and smiled.

Zhou Mao knew that Jiang's family didn't want silver bills, so he brought a lot of silver ingots this time, many of them were 20 taels of silver ingots, which was more than enough to pay the money.

After loading the golden-eared snow-eared fungus into the car, Zhou Mao went to Jiang Sanlang's bamboo shed to have a look, touched the big deer in the yard, and asked in amazement: "Brother Jiang, can you sell this big deer?"

"Don't sell it. This is my daughter's deer. You can't sell it for any money."

Zhou Mao shook his head regretfully, and was about to leave when Jiang Sanlang said again: "Please wait a moment, Manager Zhou, there are still golden-eared snow-eared fungus in our village that haven't moved here."

Zhou Mao blinked, and just as he came up with an idea, Jiang Sanlang said quickly, "They went to the firm last time and know the purchase price."

Zhou Mao took a breather, and asked without giving up: "Are there any high-quality goods?"

"No. Only our family has high-quality goods, and those things are not easy to grow, and others can't grow them." Jiang Sanlang ruthlessly crushed his illusions.

"Oh." Zhou Mao waved his hand in dismay, "Then why don't you let them deliver it quickly, and don't wait when it's over."

At this time, Yingbao had already run out to call the second mother-in-law next door, and asked the second mother-in-law's son to go to another house to inform others.

Soon Jiang Sanlang's house became lively.

The villagers moved their golden ear and snow fungus here one after another.

Ying Bao and her two younger brothers were sitting on the deer fence, swinging their legs to watch them come and go.

Among a group of old men, there is a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who are very eye-catching.

The older one is about 50 years old, and the younger one is in his twenties. He is fair and delicate, with slender eyebrows and long eyes, soft and weak, and looks like a bully at first sight.

These are Patriarch Chen's stepwife Tang and youngest daughter-in-law Shao.

I saw a little boy in Tang's arms, two or three years old, only a little older than his brother, with a shaved head, slender eyebrows and eyes, very similar to his mother Shao.

That Shaw was holding a big bamboo basket, and there were about a hundred dried golden ears in the basket.

Tang carried her grandson to Yingbao, took out a few pieces of caramel from her pocket and stuffed them in her hands, and gave two pieces to each of the twins, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law made it, it's so sweet."

Ying Bao thanked: "Thank you, Granny Tang."

The two younger brothers followed suit, "Thank you, Granny Tang."

Tang patted Ying Bao's head, and said with a smile: "Next time Bao'er takes my younger brother to visit her mother-in-law's house, she will cook a lot of delicious food."

Ying Bao nodded, "Okay."

Tang smiled even more happily, and introduced her grandson to Yingbao: "His name is Chen Bozhong, and his nickname is Yao'er. Yaoer, please call her sister Yingbao."

Yao'er blinked her narrow phoenix eyes, and called obediently: "Sister Yingbao."

Ying Bao couldn't help touching his three-flowered head, and responded with a smile.

Xiaojie Dawu was not happy anymore, and grabbed his sister's arms one by one, not letting her touch the other little dolls.
