Chapter 53 Unexpected Joy
In the end, Zhu Ping'an didn't tell his little aunt, because Zhu Ping'an's ancestral hall hadn't left yet, and the grandmother came here. She forgot to put pancakes in the food box just now, and the grandmother was worried that the uncle would not have enough to eat, so she specially brought two pancakes.
Soon, the roar of the grandmother came from the ancestral hall. But the grandmother was eccentric after all, the thunder was loud and the rain was little, and the uncle was not punished. Zhu Ping'an is almost used to this.
There was no wind or rain all night, and after breakfast the next day, my grandmother urged Father Zhu to go to the town to sell wild boars. The family's finances were too tight. The foodie wild boar was **** and slept all night in the yard, and was fed a big bowl of food by the grandmother early in the morning. The foodie didn't know what he was going to face, and he was very happy after eating.
Because the wild boar was too big and heavy, my grandmother sent my fourth uncle to go to town with him. This day happened to be the opening day of the big market in the town, and the sisters-in-law of the Chen family thought together, why don't they go together. So an ox cart carried a wild boar, a large basket of wild flowers that had been laughed at countless times by the family again, and Zhu Pingan, Zhu Pingjun, and Zhu Pingchuan sat in a large cart, and set off in a large cart. Behind the car was my fourth uncle, several sisters-in-law of the Chen family, and Father Zhu who was driving the car, and set off for the town together. It's really a mobilization of the whole family.
There are so many people, I haven't heard any chatter along the way.
"Hey, why are you going to sell flowers again?" The fourth aunt walked beside, seeing Zhu Pingan sitting on the bullock cart and the big basket of dried wild flowers, she couldn't help laughing.
Chen rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I was given a colleague last time." Zhu Pingan said seriously.
As a result, the fourth aunt, the fourth uncle and the aunt laughed even more happily. A copper coin, you really thought it was the money you sold it for, but it was kindly given to you by someone who thought you were too stupid.
The little fourth aunt made a start here, and the family members began to tease Zhu Pingan. After all, the journey was boring, so it would be nice to have someone to amuse.
The first one who bears the brunt of this is the little fourth uncle. The little fourth uncle is a fool, and his way of being funny is also different.
"Hey, do you know why grandma asked us to sell pigs?" The fourth uncle asked maliciously.
"Exchanging money." Zhu Pingan replied flatly.
When the little fourth uncle heard the words, the wickedness on his face became stronger, and he deliberately threatened Zhu Pingan, "Yes, it is for money. But our family still lacks a lot of money. So, the money from selling pigs is not enough, we have to sell pigs." people."
As soon as the fourth uncle's words fell, Zhu Pingan clearly felt that Zhu Pingjun, who was sitting next to him, trembled, and was startled by the fourth uncle's words.
My lord is such a bad taste! Zhu Pingan was very disdainful.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an also cooperated very well and put on a frightened look. The chubby face trembled and asked, "Then who are you selling to?"
Zhu Pingjun also turned to look at the fourth uncle, expressing his concern.
The little fourth uncle was very happy to see Zhu Ping'an's frightened little face, and said to Zhu Ping'an intentionally and without hesitation, "Of course I'm selling you."
Little Fourth Uncle thought that his words would scare Zhu Pingan, a poor kid, to cry, but unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan grinned, "Hehehe, I knew that Little Fourth Uncle was worthless."
The little fourth uncle who was waiting to see the joke was dumbfounded. It wasn't a question of who was worth the money.
Chen was the first to laugh, followed by the third aunt, the eldest aunt, and the fourth aunt, and the fourth uncle was kicked by the fourth aunt mockingly.
When we arrived in the town, we divided up into different groups. The auntie and Chen's sisters-in-law went to the women's shop they frequented to sell the purses they sewed, and bought some women's supplies such as colored thread. Uncle Fourth and Father Zhu went to sell wild boars. Zhu Pingchuan led Zhu Pingan to sell wild flowers. Of course, everyone except Zhu's father and Chen's family laughed at him.
It was the same medicine hall Jimin Hall as last time. As soon as I entered the door this time, one of the two little apprentices walked over with a smile on his face.
"You guys are here, the honeysuckle in the shop is almost out of stock again." This little apprentice was the one who almost turned Zhu Ping'an and his brothers away last time, and this time he was very enthusiastic.
Zhu Pingchuan was carrying a big pannier and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Ping'an's naive chubby face was full of smiles, "Hehe, the little brother should give us a higher price."
The old Chinese doctor over there, twirling his beard and reading a book of medicine, couldn't help laughing, "As long as the honeysuckle is of good quality, it doesn't matter if I give you a few more."
When Zhu Pingan heard this, Chubby smiled even brighter, "Thank you, old genius doctor."
The honeysuckle picked this time is still counted as top-grade. Same as last time, it is 50 yuan a catty. The difference is that this time it is a large basket of honeysuckle, not the small basket of Zhu Pingan last time. This time the honeysuckle is 5 catties and 6 taels. 3 yuan, according to the price, it is 267 Wen. Because an old Chinese doctor spoke, the apprentice made his own decisions and gave Zhu Pingan and the others 270 Wen.
Before going out, the old Chinese doctor kindly reminded that the flowering period of honeysuckle is coming, and Zhu Pingan and the others are asked to go back and pick it quickly.
Out of the pharmacy, Zhu Ping'an and his elder brother put the copper coins in the basket, and then covered it up with a rag.
Zhu Ping'an and his eldest brother gained a lot, and the Chen family over there also had a pleasant surprise.
Mr. Chen and his sisters-in-law went to the women's shop they used to go to, and sold the purses they had worked hard for half a month. The purse is not simply to sew the cloth together, but requires a lot of processes, gaps, and temple embroidery, etc. It takes about two days for a purse to come out. They want to make purses made by Chen's family, because the patterns are not novel, and the fabrics used are relatively cheap cotton cloth, so the purses made by hard work are not very valuable. A purse is about 10 Wen.
"You are really sisters-in-law, and you don't have to choose the handicrafts. The price is still the same. You can still use it for 10 cents each." .
The price is the same as before, of course Mrs. Chen and the others have no objections. The eldest aunt and third aunt did 8, and got 80 Wen. Chen made only 7 and got 70 essays. My fourth aunt made 9 of them and got 90 Wen, the most money, and she was very happy.
"These three purses, please also ask the shopkeeper's palm to see if they can be received."
When the eldest aunt and the others were about to leave, Mrs. Chen thought for a while and stopped, then took out three purses that were different from the ones everyone made from her luggage, and called to stop the female shopkeeper.
These three purses are made of the rags that Zhu Pingan brought back last time. Many of those rags are made of very good materials, including silk, satin and gauze. Chen's three purses are very good. Made of material, if the fabric is not enough, a few pieces are spliced together in small steps.
The female shopkeeper took it and touched it, with a smile on her face, "This is still novel, and the material is good. How about it, I will charge 15, no, 20 coins each, you can see it."
Chen's heart beats very fast, 20 texts, 20 texts each, happiness came too suddenly.
