Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 77 Please do me a favor

Zhu Liuzheng was annoyed, what's the use of making noise at this time, the key is that Gou Chunlan is wandering around in the village, it's embarrassing to see her, and it's completely unreasonable to accuse him here now.

Burning with anger, he yelled at Gou Chunlan, "Get out of here quickly. What are you doing wandering around outside? It's a complete embarrassment."

Gou Chunlan entered the courtyard, closed the courtyard door with her hands on her hips, and pointed at Zhu Liuzheng angrily, "Why did I marry you, you bastard, and now our family has become the laughing stock of the whole village, and life is not as good as it is?" One day." As she spoke, she even started to cry. In the past, there were other gray incomes in the village, but now they are gone. Since she said she would not be the village head, the attitude of the villagers towards their family seems to have changed. .

Zhu Liu was very angry at being scolded by Gou Chunlan, and he was also full of anger. In the past, he could take advantage of the women in the village by teasing them a little bit, but now he was scolded directly, and he obviously felt that everyone disliked him. respect.

He snorted coldly: "Didn't Dashi be spoiled by you, you only laid one egg, if you had a few more sons, would you be able to become what you are today? Dashi is so unreasonable, isn't it all because of you, a loving mother with many losers."

Gou Chunlan smiled: "Aren't you spoiled? Don't say these are useless. Everyone in the village has gone to dig the kudzu root. You said that Xia Qinghe did a good job. Could it be that the kudzu root is really edible? Really?" Can it be sold for money?"

She doesn't want to quarrel now, she wants to make money more.

Zhu Liuzheng also calmed down, he thought for a while and said: "I heard from the villagers that it is really edible, the Chu family has already made money with Xia Qinghe, and the jelly is really delicious, I think it should be right, it's just our family Now that you are in such a stalemate with Xia Qinghe, even if you sell it, you can't sell it to Xia Qinghe. If this is the case, go back to your mother's house and tell your younger brothers how to make money, and let them follow suit. You don't have to come back during this time. Inquire the news in the village to find out who Xia Qinghe sold to, I still don't believe that I can't beat a little girl."

Xia Qinghe was cleaning the kudzu root that he dug yesterday, and Zhu Xiaochang was helping to hammer the kudzu root. The kudzu root was not easy to put into the mill and could only be hammered, and his hands were sore after a day.

"Qinghe, do you have to hammer this kudzu root in the future? You can't hammer much in one day." He shook his arm and felt a little distressed.

Xia Qinghe comforted with a gentle smile: "Persevere, I'm already thinking of a way. It would be great if there was a stone roller. This millstone can't be pushed, but the stone roller can be crushed. Even if our family doesn't have it, I don't know if there is one in the village. No."

Zhu Xiaochang, the stone miller, was pleasantly surprised when he heard that, and then fell silent.

Xia Qinghe happened to see Zhu Xiaochang's expression, and knew that Zhu Xiaochang must have something to say, so he asked in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhu Xiaochang raised his head to look at Xia Qinghe and sighed, then shook his head: "There is a stone roller in the village, but that stone roller belongs to Zhu Liuzheng's family. If we make such a mess, we must not be able to borrow a stone roller, so...."

So it's useless to say.

Xia Qinghe had other thoughts: "If you can't borrow it, you can buy it. He is definitely not willing to buy it if we come forward, but what about others? I'm thinking about asking Aunt Chu for help. I don't know if it's okay or not."

She thought that this stone mill was rarely used by villagers, and it would be useless if it was left idle. If it could be sold, she believed that Zhu Liuzheng would be very happy.

Zhu Xiaochang thought about it seriously, and thought it was okay to ask the villagers for help, but Aunt Chu didn't think he was the best candidate: "Qing He, if you want to ask someone to help, you can ask Aunt Yuan, who is Er Gouzi's mother , as soon as she comes forward, Zhu Liuzheng will definitely sell."

"But will she help us?" Although Yuan Shi was kind to her, but he didn't know whether Yuan Shi would be willing to help her when helping to buy the rollers, so he felt a little distressed.

Zhu Xiaochang laughed suddenly, approached Xia Qinghe and said mysteriously: "Others will definitely not want to sell it to Zhu Liuzheng, but Aunt Yuan is different, and I believe Aunt Yuan will definitely be willing to help."

If there is a stone mill, it will get twice the result with half the effort. I didn’t think too much about it before, but now I want to make starch on a large scale. It is very likely that I will have to grind hundreds of catties of kudzu root every day, so I must think about it in the long run.

In the afternoon, people from the village came one after another. Da Huzi carried the cleaned kudzu root into the yard, and Mrs. Chu was behind with a scale, and people from the village came one after another.

Xia Qinghe was very satisfied with everyone's cleanliness, so she asked everyone to say hello one by one. She had prepared a small book to remember how many people there were in that family, and she didn't take it out until they were all weighed. purse.

Inside the bag were the copper coins that were exchanged for the starch that I went to sell the day before yesterday, and I counted them one by one for everyone. Holding the copper coins, everyone was excited. When digging kudzu before, everyone still had doubts, doubts, and uncertainty. At this moment, everyone There is only one thought, we must dig a little more tomorrow.

Aunt Liao was the one who dug the most. She, her husband-in-law and her son dug fifty or sixty catties together and sold them for more than 100 Wen.

Most of the people in the village regretted it. Da Huzi sold all the kudzu roots he dug up yesterday with a basket.

"Qinghe, I thought that I might as well sell it to you, so that I can spare a lot of time to dig kudzu. Now there are more trees in the woods and it will be faster to dig." He smiled honestly, this is what he discussed with his mother. after the result.

After thinking about it carefully, I feel more and more that digging kudzu root is easier to sell, and there is no need to grind or wash powder to dry.

Xia Qinghe thought it was all right, so she gave Da Huzi's copper coins to Da Huzi, and all the copper coins she had saved were gone, and now the only thing left was the silver note.

Er Gouzi held the money bag and smiled stupidly. He sold it for seventy or eighty Wen. According to this speed, as long as he dug for a month or two, he might be able to marry a wife later.

The villagers left one after another after receiving the copper coins, leaving only the Chu family and the Yuan family in the yard.

Yuan Shi slapped Er Gouzi on the head, and said with a smile, "What are you smirking about?"

She was also very happy. Today they were not very lucky. The place where they dug kudzu was hard and there were a lot of gravel, so they didn't dig much. In addition, Er Gouzi dug yesterday and sold it for seventy or eighty renminbi. very satisfied.

Er Gouzi scratched his head with a smirk and said, "I don't think I can marry a wife if I have money."

He misses Xia Qinghe unworthily now, Xia Qinghe is beyond his reach.

Yuan Shi was also very excited: "No, Qinghe is still smart, and if this continues, he will have money to marry a wife." She laughed from ear to ear.

Seeing that Yuan Shi was in a good mood, Xia Qinghe said while the iron was hot, "Aunt Yuan wants your help with something."
