A lucky wife born again from a farm family

As soon as Mrs. Chen saw Gu Jinli, she immediately rushed up and said, "Xiaoyu, your snake was sold for two to eight hundred yuan? Oh, how come a few broken snakes are so valuable?"

He blamed Gu Jinli again: "You didn't call aunt when you went to catch such a valuable thing. If aunt was here, she would definitely be able to help you catch dozens more."

Chen's flesh throbbed with pain. It would be great if her family could share the money.

Gu Jinli looked at her and said with a smile: "Okay, next time we go to catch snakes, we will definitely call your aunt, but the snakes that can be sold for money are highly poisonous, and being bitten will be fatal. When the time comes, If something happens, your aunt cannot blame me."

Mrs. Chen was afraid of death. When she heard this, her face twitched and she said with a smile: "Here, let Auntie think about this again."

While they were talking, Uncle Tian and his son, Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui also carried their things back to the door of the grain store.

Not long after, the Luo family's father and son also bought goods and came to the grain store to meet.

The Luo family bought a lot of things, including enough cotton and cloth. They were also responsible for ordering water tanks for several companies: "A water tank costs 500 yuan, and we ordered five. If we want to transport it to the village, each water tank will cost 500 yuan." The water tank needs an extra hundred dollars, but I didn't let him give it away. I made an agreement with the master to come and move it out at Chenshi tomorrow."

After midnight tomorrow, the shopkeeper and his family will go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year and will not come back until after the new year.

"Okay, let's finish shopping quickly and go back, rest early in the evening, rush to the town before midnight tomorrow, and carry the water tank back." After the third grandfather finished speaking, he led a few people into the grain store to buy the most important grain.

There are large earthenware jars placed in the grain shop, which contain a variety of grains, mainly rice, flour, beans, and grains.

They also sell seeds, including grain seeds, vegetable seeds, bean seeds, garlic seeds, onions, and even dried chili peppers!

Gu Jinli was really shocked when he saw the peppers. He pointed at the peppers and asked the shopkeeper: "Uncle, what is this red thing?"

The shopkeeper glanced at her and ignored her, thinking she was stupid and didn't even recognize Chili.

Qin Sanlang said: "This is spicy food. Like dogwood and ginger, they are all spicy. They were introduced from outside the country during the previous dynasty."

It turns out that it was something that existed in the previous dynasty, and it came from outside the customs, not from the sea.

Gu Jinli once again marveled at the mixture of Dachu and Chu. Seeing that Qin Sanlang knew more, he asked him again: "Are there any potatoes and corn?" In the memory of the original owner, there were no such things, only soybeans, sweet potatoes and wild vegetables.

"Potatoes and corn? I've never heard of them. What are they?" Qin Sanlang asked her with a frown.

Gu Jinli said: "They are two edible things. I heard a few old people say it when I was escaping from famine. I guess they are things produced in their mountains."

She was afraid that Qin Sanlang would ask him deeply, so after saying that, she took a cloth bag and went to pick out peppers, garlic, and onions, about a pound each, and took them to Gu Dashan and the others to choose food.

What they buy the most are sweet potatoes and soybeans. These two items are cheap, costing three pennies per pound. A sack can last them a long time.

Rice and noodles are expensive, new rice and new noodles are sold for thirty cents per catty; brown rice with chaff is sold for twenty cents per catty; millet is eighteen cents, and old rice is cheap, only fifteen cents per catty, and there is also a kind of mold Rice is cheaper, only five cents a pound.

Her family bought fifty catties of soybeans, fifty catties of sweet potatoes, twenty catties of old rice, ten catties of millet, and five catties of noodles.

The Luo family, Gu Damu family, and Gu Dafu family bought something similar to them.

Qin Sanlang didn't buy soybeans, but only sweet potatoes, brown rice and millet.

The Tian family only bought soybeans, sweet potatoes, and a pound of old rice.

After paying the money, they did not go back immediately. Instead, one person from the family was left waiting in front of the grain shop, while the rest went to the butcher shop in the town to buy meat. They wanted to worship their ancestors during the New Year, so they had to buy some meat anyway.

Meat is expensive, especially fat meat, which sells for thirty cents per pound, which is a full ten cents more expensive than pork belly, and lean meat is ten cents cheaper than pork belly.

Gu Jinli's family bought one pound of fat meat and one pound of lean meat. The other families, except the Tian family, all bought two pounds of meat.

After shopping, it was already afternoon, and several families stopped staying and headed back, picking up their things. Because there are so many things, Gu Jinli also has to pick up wooden barrels, pots, pots, bowls and other sundries.

When passing by a farmer's stall, they bought some eggs and other cheap groceries.

After buying, we kept walking out of the town, hurrying and hurrying all the way, and finally returned to the village in the evening.

When passing by the old mud house where they stayed the night before, they saw several villagers outside the yard of the old mud house, and He Sanshengzi was talking dirty words into the yard.

Mr. Mo was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed: "Get out now. If you don't get out, I will go to the village chief and file a lawsuit against you!"

San Leizi laughed and said: "Sue us? Sue us for talking dirty jokes around the old earthen house in Dafeng Village? This is a house in Dafeng Village, not your Mo family. You lived in our Dafeng Village without giving us any money." You still dare to sue us in your house, where do you have the face!"

"You can do it without giving me any money. Call your eldest granddaughter and let us kiss you. We will recognize you as people from Dafeng Village." After saying this, He Sanshengzi and several villagers laughed evilly. , which made Mr. Mo very angry.

A woman's voice came from the old earthen house: "I told you a long time ago that the money can't be saved, you have to dig it out, now it's okay!"

Third Grandpa and the others did not stop, but quickly walked past this old earthen house and returned to the rented house at the end of the village.

The third grandma and the others had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When they saw them coming back, all the women and children from the house ran out of the house.

"You are finally back, have you finished shopping?" Third Grandma asked.

The third grandfather took off the burden, rubbed his shoulders and said: "I have finished buying, and there are five water jars left. I will move them tomorrow morning. How are you at home today?"

"Okay, we gave the village money, and Mr. Qin and Erlang are guarding it, so the gangsters in the village don't dare to approach."

When the children from several families saw them coming back with so many things, they were all so happy that they carried their burdens without letting go.

The adults were helpless and could only carry the burden while letting them carry it, chattering all the way back to their respective homes.

Gu Jinli's family bought too many things, and it took them a full hour to put everything away.

Mrs. Cui looked at the cotton and cotton cloth and said distressedly: "Why did you buy so much cloth? Just buy some burlap, and burlap can also be used to make clothes."

"Mom, we will work hard to make money, you don't have to be so frugal." Gu Jinli said: "It's not good to wear burlap clothes during the Chinese New Year."

The burlap is also used to make filial piety clothes, worn by those who wear filial piety. Their families still have some money, so there is no need to wear burlap clothes for the Chinese New Year.

Although the third grandma was also heartbroken, she liked children and immediately helped: "Xiaoyu wants you to dress decently. When we get to the village, we have to wear some decent clothes. If you dress poorly, you will be looked down upon by the villagers. .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui stopped talking and carefully put away the cotton and two pieces of cotton cloth.

After the family finished packing their things, they ate a hurried dinner and went to bed tiredly.

Before dawn the next day, several men rushed to the town to carry the water tanks ordered yesterday.

After Gu Jinli got up, he ran to Luo's Tian's house and told them that he wanted to use the millstone in the yard.

Gu Jinli wanted to make tofu, but among the several rented yards, only the Luojia Tian family's yard had a dirty old millstone.

The two adults naturally agreed.

Gu Jinli carried a wooden bucket to fetch water to wash the millstone.

Luo Huiniang played well with her and came over to help: "Xiaoyu, can soybeans really make tofu?"

Gu Jinli washed the millstone and said, "Yes. Soybeans are a treasure. In addition to tofu, they can also be used to make many foods, such as bean cakes. This can be eaten as a staple food or as a vegetable."
