The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 58 Sour Taro Pole

"50 taels of silver?" Lin lost her voice, "That's a real life!"

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "No, alas, it's that girl Tonghua who is poor."

Suddenly the room fell silent.

Qingguo was not surprised at all, probably when Luo Xiangju chose Tonghua, she had thought about how to deal with the failure. The Zhou family didn't lack money, what they lacked was relationships.Take out 50 taels, in exchange for the favor of the county magistrate, the Zhou family thinks it is a good deal no matter what!

Mrs. Niu would choose this time to bring her natal brothers to make trouble, so why didn't she just try to make some money?As Zhou said, it's Tonghua who is poor.

Qingguo couldn't help thinking of Tonghua's pale and helpless face under the moonlight, and she became more and more determined that she had to make money, and she had to make a lot of money.

"Mother, I will go to town with my sister and brother tomorrow."

"Going to town?" Mrs. Lin looked back at Qingguo, "Tomorrow will be your third uncle's big day."

"What does that have to do with us?" Qingguo looked at Mrs. Lin and said, "I'll go to the town to sell sour taro sticks tomorrow. If the price is right, we'll make large quantities later."

The Zhou family on the side also paid for the sour taro sticks in the afternoon, and asked quickly: "Guo'er, you said that the sour and crunchy ones you ate in the afternoon were made by yourself, and didn't your grandma send them?"

"No." Qingguo shook her head and said, "We made it ourselves. I plan to take it to town tomorrow to see if anyone buys it."

Mrs. Zhou nodded quickly and said, "I think it's okay. I'll pay for it in the afternoon. It tastes pretty good."

"Well, Auntie, I'll make a bowl for you to take home later. You can fry it, eat it in soup, or eat it lightly." Qing Guo said.

"Hey, thank you in advance."

Qingguo smiled and waved her hands, and when Zhou Shi left, she really filled a large bowl and asked Zhou Shi to take it away.

The next day, Qingguo's three siblings got up early as usual, but instead of going out in a hurry, they waited at home to see what the old house's arrangements were for today.

Until Chenshi, there was a loud sound of firecrackers from the old house, Luo Xiaojiang ran out to look, and after a while, he turned back, saying that the old man from the old house started to pick up baskets and carry baskets. The woman is home.Qingguo knew that this was nothing to do with their family!
Anyway, it was expected, Qingguo didn't have any idea, rolled his eyes, turned to Luo Xingzu and said: "Father, the whole family of my uncle's family has gone, why is there no one in our family?"

Luo Xingzu was left speechless by Qing Guo's question.

Qingping also added on the sidelines, "The aunts all asked me why I invited four Quanfu people, but I didn't have my mother."

Sitting on one side, Lin's face was gloomy. He looked up at Luo Xingzu, sighed, and said to Qingguo, "Didn't you say you're going to the town? Go, it's getting late."

Qingguo nodded, thinking about it, since they are not in front of them, the husband and wife should have woken up!
Qingguo kept a handful of sour taro stalks in the big jar, and divided the rest into three smaller jars. The three siblings carried bamboo baskets on their backs and set off.

"Guo'er, are you going to grandma's house?" On the way, the young general asked.

"Well, I have to go. Uncle said that grandma doesn't have a good appetite these days. Our grandma will save some food." Qing Guo said.

"Hey."

Passing by that piece of wasteland, seeing that the radishes and cabbages that had been planted had grown gratifyingly, the three siblings were overjoyed, and felt that their feet were particularly strong.

"If the sour taro stalks are easy to sell, the radishes and cabbages grown in the field can also be pickled and sold." Qing Guo said.

Qingping and the young general nodded, even the taro stalks eaten by pigs are so delicious, how about radish and cabbage?

When the three of them arrived at their grandfather's house, Zhong was sitting under the eaves making clothes for the child. She was four months pregnant and her pregnancy was already faintly visible. Because she was thin, she wore loose clothes, so it was not obvious.See you, the three siblings quickly put down the work in their hands and came forward.

"Why is this time coming, isn't today your third uncle's big gift day?"

Luo Xiaojiang said angrily: "My grandma didn't let our family go."

Mrs. Zhong embraced Xiao Jiang Luo and comforted him: "Don't be angry, when your uncle gets married, grandma will let you accompany her to greet the bride!"

Zhong's words made the two brothers of the Lin family blush, and successfully relieved the aggrieved general Luo!
"Grandma, this is the food we made. You will pay me for it. Let's see if it tastes good." Qing Guo pinched a piece of sour taro stick from the clay pot and put it in Zhong's mouth.

Zhong's originally tasteless mouth suddenly felt his lips and teeth salivating, and he ate several in a row, until Qingguo worried that she would eat too much and scrape her stomach, so she stopped.

"Grandma, this jar is reserved for you to eat. Turn around and make it, and I'll send it over." Qing Guo said.

Zhong quickly waved his hand, "No, no, you can sell it, grandma doesn't need so much."

Qingguo couldn't help but put down a jar, then turned to the two brothers of the Lin family and said, "Uncle, Uncle, we are going to the town, are you going?"

"Go, I put some straw weaving at Third Sister's a few days ago, and I don't know how it is selling, so go and have a look." Lin Fangda said.

As soon as the work in the field was finished, the third father and son of the Lin family wove some straw weaves and sold them in Huang Baozhong's shop. Now that there are more people weaving, their prices have come down. Money for one!
After resigning from the Zhong family and Lin Shanwen, the two brothers of the Lin family and the Qingguo siblings are back on the road.

When they arrived in the town, the three of them went to Huang Baozhong's shop first. The shop was not busy, and there was only Huang Baozhong alone. It was a joy to see everyone.

After knowing that Qingguo's third sister and brother came to the town to sell sour taro sticks, Huang Baozhong paid the repayment, nodded repeatedly and said: "It's delicious, this kind of sour is not as pungent as vinegar, but it's appetizing, so it should be able to exchange for some money. "

Qingguo cheerfully left some for Huang Baozhong to take home to eat, then called Qingping to Gao's restaurant.

"Guoer, I'm a little scared." Qingping said softly standing outside the restaurant.

Qingguo let out a "puchi", laughed out loud, and said to Qingping: "Sister, what are you afraid of, we are here to sell things, not steal things."

Qingping blushed when Qingguo said that, she mustered up her courage, nodded and said: "Well, then...then let's go in."

Qingguo nodded, and she walked directly towards the boss who was thinking about it at the counter.

"Master Boss."

Shopkeeper Gao, who was doing the calculations, suddenly heard such a strange address, and couldn't help but raised his head to look outside the counter. Seeing two and a half little girls, he couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Girl, what's the matter with you?"

Qing Guo nodded again and again, and said to shopkeeper Gao: "Master Boss, I have some home-cooked food here, do you want to have a look?"
