The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 60
On the way to Renshantang, Qingguo turned her head and said to Qingping and Luo Xiaojiang: "Sister, brother, I'm thinking about the business with shopkeeper Gao, we still have to hide it from my father and mother, what do you think?"

"Guo'er, we'll listen to you. You can do whatever you want." Luo Qingping and Luo Xiaojiang said in unison, "However, grandpa, third uncle and uncle must be told."

"Well, when shopkeeper Gao returns here, we'll talk to them." Qing Guo said.

After talking, the three of them walked outside Renshantang, Qingguo thought for a while, then asked Qingping to bring out some copper coins, and asked the young general to fetch two jugs of wine before entering the pharmacy.

"Uncle Wen." Qing Guo greeted Old Wen's tent.

"Hey girl, you're here!"

Wen Lao accountant put down the pen in his hand and looked at Qingguo with a smile.

"Uncle Wen, we made some side dishes at home and sent them over to shopkeeper Wen for compensation. I promised you these two jugs of wine last time. You take them."

Qingguo handed the wine and the sour taro stick to Wen Lao's tent.

"Girl, you are so polite!" Mr. Wen did not refuse, took the wine from Qingguo's hand, but pointed to two small bundles of sour taro sticks and asked, "What is this? How do you cook it?"

"This is a stick of sour taro. It is delicious when fried with meat or put in soup."

Old Wen's accountant called a clerk to come forward and ask him to send the things to the backyard, while he chatted with Qing Guo without saying a word.

"The batch of medlars you sent last time were transferred by the shopkeeper to Qingzhou Prefecture. They are very popular. Look, can you get more next year?"

"Hey, there will definitely be more crops next year than this year, and you know that this year's weather is bad, and everything will be bad." Qing Guo said.

Old Tenant Wen nodded. There is not much demand for medlars to be used as medicine, but those rich people like to use it to make tea, stew, soup and so on. On the contrary, the price is higher than the price on the medicinal materials!

Qingguo had a short conversation with Mr. Wen. Seeing that Mr. Wen was slowly getting busy, she was also in a hurry to go home, so she said goodbye to Mr. Wen. The siblings went back and bought some things before returning. Huang Baozhong's shop.

When rushing home from Huang Baozhong's shop, the sky was slowly getting dark.

The Zhong family was still waiting for them on the road at the entrance of the village. Qingguo bid farewell to her grandfather's family in Shizhen Village, and declined Lin Shanwen's offer to send the third sibling back.

And when they returned to Sankeng Village, it was completely dark. As usual, Mrs. Lin stood guard at the entrance of the village. The mother and son got together and walked home talking and laughing.

"Mother, have I nursed them back?" Little General Luo asked.

Lin nodded, "I'm back, I'll be back in the evening."

"My aunt is back too?"

"Your aunt did not. Once the incident over there, she went directly back to the city." Lin said.

Qingguo curled her lips, Luo Xiangju, would she have the nerve to reply?
"How about it, are the sour taro sticks easy to sell?" Lin asked.

"It's easy to sell, it's easy to sell." Little General Luo said snatching it up, "Guo'er said, the shopkeeper made an order with us, and will deliver one hundred catties in ten days, three times a month."

Mrs. Lin was overjoyed when she heard it, and quickly asked Qingguo: "Guoer, is what your brother said true? Three times a month, that's three hundred catties!"

Qingguo nodded with a smile.

"This……"

Lin's face was flushed with excitement, and she was so happy that she couldn't even speak when she entered the room.

"Mother, don't you even ask how much it sells for a catty?" Qing Guo winked at Mrs. Lin and asked mischievously.

"Hey, yes, my mother was so happy that she forgot to ask you how much it sells for a catty." Lin said tremblingly.

Luo Xiaojiang rushed in front of Qingguo and said loudly: "Mother, it's a penny and a catty!"

"What, can you sell it for a penny and a catty?" Lin looked at the green fruit in a daze.

Qingguo felt a rare embarrassment, although she was the one who decided to hide the truth from Lin Shi and Luo Xingzu, but she felt guilty when she saw Lin Shi's burning eyes.However, thinking of the cowardice in the bones of these two big buns, she secretly cheered herself up.Hey, everything, just for a better life.

Qing Guo nodded heavily, "Well, it's a penny a catty."

"Oh, in this way, we can earn three hundred Wen a month." Lin happily put aside Qingguo's hand, turned around and rushed into the house, "Guo'er, her father, Guo'er and the others ..."

The remaining three siblings stood in the yard, the three exchanged a look, and then all laughed out loud.

After Luo Xingzu knew that his family would receive [-] Wen a month, he was so happy that he closed his mouth. After the fun, the smile on his face was suppressed, and he looked at Qingguo hesitantly.

"What's the matter, dad, what do you want to say?" Qing Guo asked.

Luo Xingzu smiled sheepishly, and said softly: "Guo'er, your grandfather planted a lot of taro stalks, look..."

"Huh?" Qingguo looked up at Luo Xingzu.

"Look, can you teach me how to make sour taro sticks?" Luo Xingzu finished speaking anxiously, fearing that Qingguo might misunderstand, he quickly said: "Guoer, daddy has no other intentions, daddy just..."

This is really a 24 filial son!

After Qingguo secretly sighed, she said to Luo Xingzu: "Father, I don't care about what you mean, and I don't want to care about it. But, if you tell me how to make sour taro sticks, I will go to the third aunt's house later. Will never come back again."

Luo Xingzu was stunned in place immediately, he had a feeling that Qingguo was not joking, she would definitely do what she said!
"Then... then forget it." Luo Xingzu said softly: "Then... anyway, our family doesn't have so many taro poles, look..."

What Luo Xingzu meant, Qingguo knew, anyway, asking others to buy is still buying, why not just ask the old house to buy.It's a pity that Qingguo had made up her mind long ago, and she only wanted to save face with the old house, and not to talk about anything else.

"I won't ask my grandfather where they bought it. I didn't eat the mutton and it would cause me a lot of trouble. I didn't do it before, and I won't do it in the future." Qing Guo looked at Luo Xingzu and said again: "Father, you must be filial to my grandfather." Grandma, I have no objection, but don't get involved with us."

Luo Xingzu wanted to say something more, but Qingguo turned around and walked out, not wanting to, bumped into Zhou Shi who came in from outside.

"Aunt Zhou is here." Qing Guo raised her head and called Zhou Shi with a smile.

"Hey, Guo'er, you are pouting, but who made you unhappy?" Mrs. Zhou held a bowl in her hand, and when she looked up, she saw Mrs. Lin coming out to greet her. She handed over the bowl in her hand and said, " Mother Guo, what do you mean by that?"

Lin smiled and said, "My Guo'er must give you this half bowl of frosting sugar. She remembers your kindness!"
