Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 162
Su Youde used a wooden ladle to pour a large ladle of water, and he didn't even notice that the water spilled on his clothes.

Seeing him going out to get busy after drinking water, Ban Xia was a little dazed.

My uncle seems to have changed slowly. Thinking about it carefully, such a change did not happen in a day or two. It seems that since Su Youfeng became a scholar, he...has not loved so much and put everything in his pocket Although I still like to push the limelight, I still like to covet some small things, but there is one more thing, self-consciousness.

That's right, that's the way it is. Could it be that because of having a talented son, while having face, he also feels that he can't live as he wants like before?Always be more scruples about face?
In any case, Pinellia is happy to see such a change, and I just hope that there will be no rebound in the future.

Pinellia followed and came out again.

Su Youde yelled, "Don't be in a hurry, pick out the soybeans, bring the copper coins back, drink a little wine and plant the seedlings..."

Pinellia is having fun again.

It was getting dark, and the sound of a woman coming to her and urging her children to go home for dinner, as well as the cry of the buffalo "moo--", gradually it was getting dark.

The other end quickly sent the oil lamp out, and the dim light cast on the pile of soybeans, making faint shadows.

Finally, once again, Su Youde missed. There was a man with more than 70 catties of soybeans, which Su Youde estimated wrongly. The scale was put down, and a cry broke out.

"It's less than 75 catties! I just said it was 78 catties!"

"It's all right now, more than 70 catties of soybeans, you can get a tael of silver!!"

The discussions around include those who are envious and jealous, and some who think that they have to try their luck too.

The person who was wrongly estimated took the money with great enthusiasm, and laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. Amidst the applause, he happily took the money and went home.

Ban Xia looked at Su Youde's expression from the side, and was almost certain that he did it on purpose, who made this person have less soybeans, and the difference was very small, almost always counted as two, and the difference was three A little more catty will not damage his reputation, but it will also benefit people. I am afraid that this wind will blow to every village soon.

"It's getting dark, don't worry about it!" Su Youde was a little annoyed.

I have to continue acting.

Ban Xia laughed out loud.

Su Youde glared at her, "Look, you are a heartless baby, we will die if this goes on! You can still laugh, you are not in charge of the family and don't know the price of daily necessities!"

This means that even I have to be in the play, the uncle must be making a fake so that he can't get out.

There were still two or three people picking soybeans, "Da Su, that's not kind! It's darker, so you can't see clearly anywhere. There's no reason to pick something back!"

It seems that I am afraid that it will not be accepted here.

Su Youde had no choice but to continue in a "frustrated" manner, but in the end there was no further disturbance.

The harvested soybeans are all piled up in the workshop.

Ban Xia asked Su Youli and Su Youde to have dinner, and then she found mint, and asked her to distribute the soybeans to pick out as soon as possible. If possible, let people come over to the workshop, and post a few more articles a day. In extraordinary times, too many mistakes cannot be made.

The night passed so peacefully.

The next day, I heard that some soybeans can be sold at such a high price, and those who still have soybeans at home are eager to try.

Rumors are always scary, and someone has already come to inquire, "Third brother, I heard that you can exchange half a bag of soybeans for two taels of silver?!"

Seeing the starry eyes of the visitor, Su Youli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he explained well, "This is a time when there's no other way, usually five or six yuan a catty, isn't the soybeans outside now more expensive? You can't let the big guy It’s a loss, and the yuba order has already been signed, so even if it’s a loss, we have to make things, everyone can make money, and at worst, our work will be wasted.”

What the third child said was a little vague, but others believed it.

In this way, Su Youde still collects these soybeans at home, but he is not afraid of not being able to receive them. Su Youli and Su Youzhang are not limited to this town, but go to the surrounding area to collect soybeans.

There is still no news from Zhang Liu.

Wu Liangping also took Wu Mei back home, and he couldn't let go of the family's business, so he only said that he went back to help inquire, but he was busy after all, or the soybeans in many places were almost sold out, and there was nothing he could do in the end.

Two days later, the soybeans in several nearby villages were almost harvested, and they were all stored in the warehouse.

Su Youde was still in high spirits, as if he had found something new to do again. After Banxia discussed with Su Youli, he transferred his position to the town. In front of the snail powder shop, Su Youde sat in town, still doing the same thing, It's just a little extra. If the estimated pile does not exceed three catties, it will only be charged according to the original two catties. But because it needs to be transported to the town, one hundred catties will be charged an extra five cents as the shipping fee.

No one said much.

In one episode every five days, Su Youde moved to several towns and was extremely busy.

He loved the exclamations of those around him so much.The oil on the face became brighter.

In this way, in the past ten days, although it was still bustling, the soybeans harvested had already done their best, and they were only more than 5000 catties, which was only a quarter.

What can be guaranteed now is that there will be no shutdown.

It still depends on Zhang Liu.

How could Boss Pang and Boss Tang fight unpreparedly? There are a lot of these soybeans nearby. They have already got the big head, and there are not many others.

Even if you put so much effort into buying, you still only get a small portion.

Ban Xia looked at the workshop that was about to stop production again, and was very worried.

I have run all over the surrounding places, and I can only get this result.

Fortunately, everyone in the workshop is familiar with them, and they didn't think too much about it. They just worked. I heard that there were not enough soybeans, and I asked relatives and friends to sell soybeans.

Seeing that the workshop was about to calm down, Ban Xia sighed leisurely.

Discuss with Su Youli and the others again.

Su Youli was the first to speak, "So many orders, let's forget about the rest. Boss Pang's 5000 catties, if we go on like this, we may not be able to give them. What we have raised so far is only more than [-] catties of beans, and there are still some that have not been selected." Even if it is all processed, there are almost two thousand catties of bean curd sticks, but this is just a drop in the bucket, and the rest is the problem."

Everyone's faces were dark and inexplicable.

Mrs. Li knew the truth, but she didn't look in a hurry.

Ban Xia looked at something wrong, "Mother, are you not in a hurry?"

Mrs. Li shook her head with a smile, "How can you not be worried about doing business, anyway, remember, no matter what, it can't be worse than the beginning. We didn't have nothing at the beginning, and we will come again."

Li Shi was able to think so, and Ban Xia felt a little more at ease.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Ban Xia said, "From the current point of view, we are very passive, and now we can only try a few methods. Uncle Zhang hasn't sent a letter back yet, so I guess we can buy some. Otherwise, it would be impossible to delay for so many days. In addition, Boss Tang and Boss Pang are obviously going to form one body to trap us. Not so..."

Before the words fell, I heard someone talking outside, "Ban Xia, Ban Xia!"

It was a woman who went to sell snail noodles, she was still wearing an apron, and she looked at her in a panic.

Could something happen there too?Ban Xia was a little startled.

"Auntie, what's the matter? Is that all right?"

The woman smiled, "Okay, that's it! Your uncle is watching from the outside, it's the Zhang family brothers who have delivered the letter from the city. In case you are worried, someone riding past the shop came in to say something."

Ban Xia and the others quickly stood up, pinning all their hopes on this, "Auntie, what did Uncle say?!"

The woman was out of breath, and she knew about the shortage of soybeans here, "I said I got it! I was afraid that you would be busy, so I hurried back to tell you that I have brought the word, and I will go back and sell rice noodles!"

bought?
Mrs. Li hurried over and grabbed her hand, "It's so short of effort, drink your saliva quickly, what do you say."

The woman waved her hand, and still took the water, she was also very thirsty, and gulped it down, "It's just a message, saying that I can come back in two days, the price is not high, but the money is not enough, There are several places where you have paid a deposit, so you don't have to be angry with the grandson anymore!"

These words were indeed as if Zhang Liu could say them.

Mrs. Li laughed happily, "See? Don't worry, there are soy beans. When the beancurd sticks are handed in, Boss Pang has so many beans. I don't know how he will sell them! This is called lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot." !"

Ban Xia was naturally happy too.

It's just that Su Youli is still a little scared, "After all, Huang Dou hasn't come back here, I just can't let it go."

Su Youzhang and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they learned that Zhang Liu had a clue, and they even imagined the misery of Boss Pang in the future.

In this way, we can only wait.

After waiting for two days, Zhang Liu did not come back.

Two days later, Zhang Liucai rode into the village with a dusty and unshaven beard on his horse. He looked ashamed at the expectant eyes of everyone, "Third Brother, is it me this time?"

No beans, just him.

Seeing him like this first, Su Youli thought that Soybean had been robbed, and asked him repeatedly if he was injured, Zhang Liu was about to burst into tears.

Been blaming myself all the time.

It took me a long time to figure it out.

It turned out that the soybeans were indeed bought, and even because the price was not expensive, Zhang Liu had ordered a little more money, but it was only a deposit, thinking that he would take the money back and ship it back.

As a result, when he wanted to transport a batch of soybeans back first, and then take money to pull the rest, he was dumbfounded. If he hired a horse-drawn carriage, a horse-drawn carriage could only transport more than ten packages of soybeans, and no one else would travel such a long distance. , Zhang Liu is a new face again. Things like buying soybeans from a long distance sound too weird, and it is easy to grind it down. He promised, but he agreed, but he asked for a high price, but he offered a price of more than ten taels of silver!
These soybeans are cheap, but they are useless!
Unfamiliar with life and place, Zhang Liu has nothing to do.

Pinellia's head buzzed, and as a result, the goods on one side were suppressed, and the money on the other was also suppressed. Even if they went to buy Boss Pang's high-priced soybeans, they still couldn't afford to buy them.

Is this a dead end?
