Chapter 520 The aunt in the shop next door

Although the skins are ordinary rabbit skins, uncle gray skins and the like, he handled them well and looked pretty good.

Everyone in the family made leather jackets as jackets, and they kept them at home for a long time for fear of being damaged by insects, and blamed the old lady Zhuang for finding a reason to come in and sweep them up. up.

When the car arrived at the door, Zhuang Daniu stopped the car with a shout, stretched out his hand and tied the cow under the tree at the door, picked up a large bundle of leather and dragged Sang Yue into the shop.

"Uncle Ma."

The horse shopkeeper who was tidying up the leather saw that it was Zhuang Daniu, and immediately walked out: "Daniu, you went down the mountain today? Oh, this is your little wife?"

Zhuang Daniu nodded proudly: "It's my wife, her name is Sangyue. Yue'er, this is the horse shopkeeper who has been taking care of me. He is closer than my uncle. From now on, you can call me Uncle Ma."

When Sang Yue heard the words, she immediately called out "Hello, Uncle Ma", and then let Zhuang Daniu let go, and carefully looked at the fur shop.

Shopkeeper Ma admired Sang Yue's generosity, so he responded with a smile and said to Zhuang Daniu: "Daniu, last time my uncle told you to bring your daughter-in-law, and my uncle treated you. Why did you come here today? Didn't have lunch?" Right? We'll go to the restaurant in front of you later, the old man treats you young couple to a light meal!"

Upon hearing the meal, Zhuang Daniu hurriedly said: "After eating, I sent some mountain products to Hongyan Tower. Uncle Ji must let us eat before leaving."

Shopkeeper Ji of Hongyan Tower is naturally familiar with Shopkeeper Ma. Although he is not from Liuhu Town, he is an old shopkeeper since the opening of Hongyan Tower.

"Then next time you come to town, you have to let the old man do something."

Zhuang Daniu heard that the elder was so polite, but he was extremely humble in his heart: "Next time, I must eat it at Uncle Ma's house. I still remember the taste of Aunt Ma's green rice dumpling. Uncle Ma, Today I brought some skins for you to take a look at, and my wife and I grew some mushrooms and sent them to the restaurant, and left you a few catties, you can taste them later."

Mushrooms are not a novelty. You can pick a load of mushrooms a day when the season is good in the mountains, but this season is unusual.

Shopkeeper Ma saw the fresh shiitake mushrooms in the basket that looked like they had just been picked from the mountain, and his eyes lit up: "My boy, you really have the ability to grow these things by yourself this season?"

The shopkeeper Ma's surprise startled the woman who came in at the door: "I said he, Uncle Ma, what surprised you so much? You picked up the treasure? Today, my mother and I will see you every day."

Following the sound, two women, one old and one young, came in at the door.

The old man was about forty, with a big fat face, a fine cotton coat and a red jacket, and a silver shovel in his head.

The young one is about 23. Although she is dressed as a young daughter-in-law, she has an oval face and fair skin, giving people a delicate feeling.

Shopkeeper Ma raised his head and smiled faintly: "Is that him, Aunt Tang? Is your aunt and nephew here today? This is rare."

Aunt Tang put on a smirk: "He, Uncle Ma, what are you talking about? How can there be less people next door? It's just that I got up early today, and my head is a little dizzy. Xi'er said she wanted to use fur to wipe my forehead , come in and see if you have any good squirrel skins."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately put down the shiitake mushrooms in his hand, and picked up the bundle of skins that Zhuang Daniu took out just now: "What a coincidence, Daniel just sent ten pieces of good-quality squirrel skins, thirty cents a piece You choose."

When Aunt Tang came in, Zhuang Daniu and Sang Yue had their backs to the store door, they just took a quick glance and turned their backs when she came in, naturally they couldn't see who they were.

At this time, when she heard Zhuang Daniu's name, Aunt Tang didn't expect that the person standing on one side was him, so she said, "He sent it? Thirty Wen is thirty Wen. I don't even know him at all." How long did it take to find it, and I won’t lower the price.”

It sounds like Aunt Tang is kind-hearted, but if you listen carefully, you can hear something else.

Shopkeeper Ma's cheeks twitched when he heard this, this woman is saying that this kid, Daniel, is too poor, right?
She may not know that he sent a lot of good leathers to him a few days ago.

After all, she is a woman, and Shopkeeper Ma is not going to talk to her too much.

Aunt Tang had just paid the money when she saw the basket: "Hey, what is this? Fresh mushrooms? Uncle Ma, where did this strange thing come from?"

Thinking of what the shopkeeper said before, he quickly glanced at the woman next to Aunt Tang, and said with a smile: "No, it was sent by Daniel, who said it was the mushroom he and his little wife planted at home." He is Aunt Tang, don't you think it is very rare to be able to give this thing out this season?"

Having said that, Aunt Tang discovered the two talking on the other side of the counter.

Seeing the neat and new Zhuang Daniu, Aunt Tang glanced at her niece and suddenly changed her face, and said with a smile: "So it was a good thing sent by Daniel's nephew? It's cold early this year. It's hard to find these mushrooms in the snow, isn't it?"

Zhuang Daniu didn't know that Aunt Tang had thought of him, thought she was sympathizing with him, and immediately smiled honestly: "Thank you for your concern. These things were not found on the mountain, but my daughter-in-law bought the seeds from her mother's house , planted in my own yard."

"What? Can you grow mushrooms at home?" Aunt Tang didn't believe anything.

Zhuang Dazhuang knew Aunt Tang because her family ran a tofu shop not far from here.

Immediately nodded: "Well, it can be planted, and it has grown a lot. Today we sent a few hundred catties to Hongyan Tower, and specially left a few catties for Uncle Ma to try something new. Is your business going to be okay at the end of the year?"

At this time, Aunt Tang's heart was already shocked: I gave away several hundred catties at once. It is rare to find such fresh mushrooms for sale in the market now.Although there are many poor people in the countryside, there are also many rich people in the town...

The Tang family's tofu shop has been in business for more than 20 years. There are not many people who like tofu. It is considered a good business to earn [-] taels of silver a year.

But Zhuang Daniu can send hundreds of catties of shiitake mushrooms to the foot of the mountain once. How much money would it cost if he sent them ten or eight times a year?

Immediately, Aunt Tang felt uneasy, and said with a sneer, "It's okay, it's okay, if your family wants to buy fried tofu for Chinese New Year, you have to come to my house to buy it."

Every family must have oily tofu for Chinese New Year, some buy some, and some make tofu by themselves or even deep-fry some.

There is no tool for making tofu at home, Zhuang Daniu immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I must find my aunt to buy a few catties for the New Year."

While the two were talking, Aunt Tang smiled and asked as if she had just seen Sang Yue: "Nephew, is this your new daughter-in-law? You are so young, where did you buy it from?"
