Chapter 92 New Market

Dong Bao thought for a while, and said, "I think if I sell tofu these days, it will definitely sell better."

Although tofu only sells for two cents a catty, most of the farming families have their own vegetable gardens, and they are not lazy. As long as they take care of them a little, they don't need to spend money to buy vegetables.Farmers are used to saving, and they don’t spend money if they can buy it without spending money. Although there are many people who buy tofu, not everyone buys tofu every day.However, during the busy farming season, no matter how poor the family conditions are, they will not be stingy about food. If the food is not good, the work will be weak, and the harvest will be affected.

"If we can sell tofu in their village, it will definitely sell well. Those who have no money can exchange wheat or beans!" Dong Bao said.In the past, her father rode a big [-]-style bicycle, went to various villages to sell tofu, and saved his first pot of gold.

Mrs. Li nodded, this is a good idea, the farmers don't go to the market every day, like the Song family, they don't let the daughter-in-law go out to the market, for fear that the daughter-in-law will spend more money.If you can bring the tofu to someone's doorstep, and you can exchange the tofu with your own grain, you won't have to worry about selling it.

In the end, Mrs. Li shook her head, "We don't have anyone."

Although the law and order is good now, if you go to other villages, you will be on someone else's land. They are orphans and widows, and they will inevitably be bullied when they go.

Dong Bao sighed, this is the shortcoming of not having a man in the family, this kind of walking around the streets to do business should be done by men.

"We can find someone to sell it." Dongbao said, "Some people in the village have less land and more people, and they don't need so many people during the busy farming season, so they all go to do part-time jobs. Isn't selling tofu much easier than doing part-time jobs? Sure. Somebody wants to do it."

Mrs. Li and Li Hongqin thought it over, and felt that the idea was feasible, and they were going to discuss it after going home.Seeing that it was almost noon, and the students in the academy were about to finish their classes, Dong Bao and Zhang Xiuyu hurried to Li Lifeng's shop with their meals, and Xiao Xu also hurriedly followed.

Xiao Xu was very obedient along the way, hiding behind Dong Bao with his head down, as if afraid that others would see him, but Dong Bao didn't expose him because he looked guilty.Mrs. Li also asked everyone who had lost their child. She had a premonition that within two days, Xiaoxu's family would come to her.

The two of them had set up the booth, and the students hadn't come out yet. Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Xiuyu whispered to Dong Bao, and asked, "Your second uncle came to make such a fuss last night. Is your grandma sick?"

Dong Bao whispered: "I don't look like it. If I'm really sick, I can't ask for a doctor? I'm sure I'll bring the doctor to ask for money at night. When we left, it was already high in the sun. If we haven't come here, it must be fine."

Zhang Xiuyu nodded, "From now on, you guys should avoid your second uncle and your grandma, you'd be fooling around with money, that's a bad idea!"

As they were talking, the students were out of class after class, and they rushed out in small groups, holding their rice bowls and queuing up to buy pancakes and vegetables at Dongbao's stall.

When it was Zhou Pingshan's and his friend's turn, Dong Bao smiled and ordered half a spoonful of food for each of them.These days, they come to eat every day, and Dong Bao is quite familiar with them.

"Dongbao, you don't need to use it tomorrow." Zhou Pingshan stood aside with a bowl in his hand and said, "Tomorrow our academy will be closed for six days of busy farming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students behind him all echoed, "That's right, little girl, we're leaving tomorrow, and you won't be here for a few days."

Most of the students in the academy are from farming families. Even if the family conditions are better, they still have to participate in production as labor when they go home. Not only the academy is closed, but even the shops in the town have to give the guys a holiday to go home to harvest wheat.

"Okay." Dong Bao nodded. Their customers are these students. The students are on vacation, so they don't need to come here. They are just at home thinking about what other business they should do these few days.

When returning home at noon, Mrs. Li said that there were not many beans in the house, so Dong Bao went to Lao Cheng's shop to ask for beans.At noon, there was no one in the old grocery store.Seeing Dong Bao, Lao Cheng rushed out to greet him, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and asked, "Dong Bao, do you want beans again? Same as before, one hundred catties?"

Dong Bao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Let Brother Guizi send two hundred catties over here, and it will save Brother Guizi trouble."

"Why is he bothering you? He's alone." Lao Cheng smiled, and asked politely, "Why, these days are busy with the farming, and you don't rest?"

Dong Bao smiled and said: "I want to rest, it's right to prepare more things, anyway, the beans won't go bad after a few days."

Lao Cheng nodded and said yes, now Dong Bao is the big customer of his family, Dong Bao said that the sun comes out from the west, and he also raised his hands in agreement.

When he was about to leave, Dong Bao seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Uncle, have you seen my milk today?"

Lao Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "See you, I came to drink a bottle of vinegar in the morning. What's the matter?"

"Hey!" Dongbao sighed pretentiously, aroused Lao Cheng's interest even more, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, we are all acquaintances, and I will not hide it from you. Last night, when my second uncle came to my house, it was another Kicking the door is called again, saying that my grandma is seriously ill, what is wrong with asking our family to pay him so that I can get a doctor for my grandma. How dare my mother and I open the door in the middle of the night, my second uncle scolded It's ugly."

Lao Cheng's eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't know that, now that the village chiefs are busy harvesting wheat, fewer people come to chat with him.Lao Cheng spat on the ground, "Don't talk to him! He just doesn't learn well! Curse my old lady! Don't worry, your milk is very good."

Dong Bao nodded with a smile and said, "My grandma has always been angry with my mother and me, so it's not easy for me to go to my grandma's house to see what's going on. With your words, I feel relieved. Uncle, how many times did you have last night? The whole family heard my second uncle yelling, my second uncle kept saying that my mother was not filial, and asked the village chief to poke my mother's spine, but my mother and I were terrified!"

Lao Cheng was a shrewd person, so he patted his chest and said immediately: "Don't worry, Dongbao, others don't know what kind of people you and your mother are, can uncle not know? As long as you hear someone say something, uncle will definitely explain it clearly to him Uncle has opened the shop for so many years, so he has some face in the village."

"Hey, thank you uncle!" Dong Bao smiled and said that the family was busy, so he went back first.

Lao Cheng ordered Guizi to carry the beans. Seeing Guizi's foolish appearance, he couldn't help but slapped his son on the head with a smile, "You, if Dongbao is half as smart, I can rest assured!"

After eating at noon, Li Hongqin took Zhang Xiuyu back to Zhangjia Village. Although their family's land was rented out, when it came to such an important stage of grain harvesting, the owner still had to watch over it. Qian had to go back to handle the matter of dropping out of the private school.

Not long after Li Hongqin and Zhang Xiuyu left, Aunt Qiuxia brought Lin Shi and Quanzi over.Lin Shi was holding a big bamboo basket full of vegetables that were in season, including gourds, beans and pumpkins.At this time of year, the vegetables are growing extremely fast, and they cannot be picked one after another.

Both Li Shi and Qiu Xia have been friends for many years, and they were not polite to her. They took the basket and said with a smile: "Why are you sending so many vegetables? Aunt Dongbao took Xiuyu home to harvest wheat. It's just me and Dongbao." The two of you, Bao, can’t eat much.” The weather is hot, and it would be a pity if it goes bad.

Qiuxia smiled and said, "There are a lot of vegetables in the field, if you don't pick them, the vegetable field will be rotten."

Mrs. Li looked at the small vegetable patch in the yard. Because it was planted too late, she didn’t have time to take care of it. The vegetable seedlings didn’t grow very well, and the vegetables produced were not enough. I take care of the land more carefully, and the vegetables grow well..."

If ordinary people were separated, the vegetable field would be taken care of by the whole family. Even if they were separated, they could eat vegetables from the vegetable field. However, in the Song family, the Huang family would not be so generous.

Aunt Qiuxia waved her hand, "How long has it been, don't think about it so much, you earn a lot a day, and still care about the two vegetables in her yard? Now she can only envy you!"

Several people chatted together, and Dong Bao talked about the fact that Uncle Song came to ask for money last night.

"Grandma Song is not sick!" Quan Zi, who was playing with Xiao Xu, yelled after hearing this, with a puffy bun face, he was so angry, "I scolded Second Aunt Song again at noon today, and I scolded him very fiercely! My ears are still ringing! I haven't eaten well!"

"What are they arguing about?" Dong Bao asked, and then laughed again. In fact, she didn't need to ask, she could guess what Huang's and Song's second aunt and daughter-in-law were arguing about.In the past, Mrs. Li took care of all the housework. Aunt Song didn't have to do the work, and Mrs. Huang only used her airs to pick and prick her. Being able to work on your own, one or two days is enough. After a long time, with Huang's proud and irritable temper, how can he bear it?
It's just that Second Aunt Song's performance was beyond Dong Bao's expectations, and she didn't expect her to dare to argue with Huang Shi.

Quanzi complained: "The scolding is so fierce, Grandma Song scolds Second Aunt for being lazy, her buttocks are itchy, and Second Aunt scolds Grandma Song for being partial, a black-hearted old bastard! All the money is given to Third Uncle Song, regardless of grandson... ..."

Lin Shi frowned, patted Quanzi's head lightly, and reprimanded: "They are all dirty words, and you follow suit?"

Quanzi covered his head and said in a low voice: "I don't want to hear it either. They are so loud that you can hear it clearly even if you cover your ears! The second aunt is still clamoring to separate the family. Grandma Song said that it is okay to separate the family. Sister Bao, you will give them the standard score of your house in the West Wing, and nothing else!"

Land is the lifeblood of farmers. It is okay to have no money, but it is absolutely impossible to have no land.Dong Bao thinks that the Huang family is also a strange woman, only Song Bai is her heart, and if Song Bai's interests are endangered, she will be ruthless towards her grandson.

"According to the division of Dongbao's milk, her second aunt is definitely not willing." Li shook her head and said, "That's a master who can't afford to suffer at all!"
