Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 1343

The old Zhou family was busy. Of course, the onlookers left, leaving only their family, but it was also very busy.

Not long after Zhou Silang got home, he was taking out the prepared new year goods one by one to introduce them to everyone. Fang sat beside him with the child in her arms. Seeing her father-in-law coming in, she immediately picked up the child and gave him a seat.

Zhou Silang, who was enjoying Zizi boasting, immediately straightened his face and respectfully said to his father, "Dad, you're back."

Old Zhou tou said "Hmm" and asked, "are all the things sold?"

Zhou Silang answered "yes".

Old Zhou tou asked, "how much did you earn?"

Zhou Silang's smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise, tried to suppress his smile and said, "those goods have sold a total of 37982."

Old Zhou tou almost dropped the cigarette pole in his hand. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "so this is earned..."

Zhou Silang said, "I made 2152 Liang."

He proudly looked at Zhou Liwei and asked with a smile, "Liwei, am I right?"

Zhou Liwei nodded and showed the account book to Grandpa. "Yes, Grandpa, you see, it's all written on it."

Old Zhou tou took a look. He didn't know most of the words except a few numbers. He knew that his old wife knew more words than himself, so he turned to Qian's account book.

Qian didn't know many words. In the past, they didn't know one of them. It was man Bao who taught his children to read after reading. They only recognized some words, but they also stumbled.

Qian is smart and spends more time watching children at home, so he knows more words than Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang.

She looked at it carefully, and there were many words she didn't know. She directly skipped those words. According to the words she knew, she even guessed and read almost. She pointed to the total money behind and said, "why is there only 1895 Liang left now?"

Lao Zhou looked at it immediately.

Zhou Liwei said, "I bought tea."

He gave a brief account of the origin of the business, but they still had a deposit of 1000 liang of tea from Hu Shang.

After listening for a long time, Lao Zhou understood. He made trouble together for a long time. None of the money he earned fell into their pockets. He had to buy all the tea and send it to Hu Shang in the capital?

Not the real gold and silver, Lao Zhou sat aside rather disappointed.

But Qian took the account book and looked at Lang on Thursday and said, "so you're going to transport tea to the capital this time?"

"Yes," Lang said on Thursday, "Mom, this business has been negotiated. Even the price has been agreed. 3000 liang of tea is transported to the capital. It doesn't count the cost on the road. At least you can earn some money. The three sons are mixed with me. I give you wages, and the cost is not big at all."

Qian frowned, "just you people, young, young, few. What if you encounter danger on the road?"

Zhou Silang looked at man Baole.

Man Bao shrunk, leaned back and asked, "what am I doing?"

On Thursday, Lang said: "now we have bought a cart of tea bricks. When they go to Beijing, they let the old five follow them. One cart of the remaining tea is enough. It's OK for so many of us to bet on one car. No, I'll look again to see if we can find the caravan. It will be much safer if we go together."

Tea is not like fur. Fur is not as valuable as tea and takes up space. Therefore, when they came back on Thursday, Lang pulled four cars, but tea is different. If Lang hadn't been sure to buy all the tea before manbao's departure on Thursday, I'm afraid the four cars he brought back would not be loaded with two cars.

Man Bao obviously thought of the vacancy of the car and asked, "are you going to return to Beijing empty for the rest of the car?"

Zhou Silang looked at old Zhou head with a guilty look and whispered, "don't I dare, or we'll borrow some money to fill the car?"

Old Zhou tou calmly knocked on the cigarette rod and said, "we went to buy cattle today. It was sold by the Jia brothers in Dali Village."

Zhou Silang didn't understand how his father suddenly mentioned it and looked at him in a daze.

Old Zhou tou said, "their brothers gambled. They have sold the cattle and borrowed a lot of money from outside."

When it comes to gambling, Zhou Silang lowers his head and mutters, "I've changed..."

Old Zhou knocked him on the head with a cigarette stick, "have you changed it? Borrow money to do business. There are nearly two thousand liang of tea in one car. You have to borrow two cars of tea money, which is more powerful than gambling. "

Qian also disagreed, nodded and said, "it's too dangerous. If you don't say you meet bandits on the road, even if you have a safe trip, what if you encounter rain? Tea is worthless when it gets damp. "

In fact, Zhou sirang just had this idea, and he didn't make up his mind very much.

After all, as his mother said, it's too dangerous.

This is different from "borrowing" 1000 liang of goods from Hu merchant. The former is real gold and silver and does not rely on it. The latter is goods and there is a shop behind him.

So when his family objected, he stopped talking about it.

But Feng thought of something. He pushed Zhou Erlang away and squeezed in. He asked, "Silang, can you exchange silk and satin for tea?"

Everyone looked at Feng.

Feng was timid, but still whispered, "didn't you say that? Outside, like our countryside, we can use cloth as money..."

She said, "since silk and satin are so cheap, it's better to spend money. Just like we go to the market, a piece of linen can be exchanged for twelve Dou of millet, but if we get it to the shop for money, we can only get 300 Wen. It's only seven or eight Dou of millet..."

Man Bao couldn't help but give his thumbs up to his second sister-in-law, "second sister-in-law, you're so powerful."

Seeing her sincere praise, Feng couldn't help being happy. He also raised his eyebrows at Zhou Erlang, "right, I didn't think wrong?"

"That's right," Zhou Erlang thought about it. He said, "the silk and satins full of treasure can't be worn by ordinary people. You have to take them to Yizhou city or other big cities..."

When he thought about it, it happened that he received tea while selling leather goods. They were all tea farmers in direct contact. This time, he could go to the tea merchant or some rich squires to ask for some tea.

Xiao Qian smiled and said, "OK, let's have dinner first and talk after dinner."

Daya had brought out all the food. Seeing her, Zhou Silang took a box out of his arms and said, "your fifth uncle said your wedding date was set. Here, this is from the fourth uncle."

Daya couldn't help looking at her mother.

Zhou Silang stuffed it into her arms and said, "take it. You're polite to me."

It's true that both Da Ya and Da tou were brought up by Lang on Thursday with her three younger brothers. They were closer. She accepted them happily, "Uncle Xie."

Man Bao sat under her mother's head and asked Zhou Silang diagonally opposite, "fourth brother, have you gone out to buy good tea this time?"

"I don't buy good tea," Lang said on Thursday. "Ah liudun doesn't specify good tea. Their tribe doesn't pay as much attention to tea as Mr. Zhuang, and we can't buy good tea."
