Chapter 213 Her mother is really hypocritical
The two of them spent quite some time in the carpenter's shop. The braised food shop had already started selling, and Chen Lin and the others were busy. Cheng Yue and Chen An came in from the main entrance and greeted Lai Xing and Lai Wang first.
Although there were not many individual customers at the pastry shop, Lai Xing Lai Wang still had a smile on his face and stood very straight, looking much more calm than when he first arrived.
After listening to Lai Xinglaiwang's happy report, Cheng Yue and the others went to the window and said to Chen Lin, "Xiao Lin, we have something else to do at home, so we won't stay here any longer. Take good care of yourselves, and we'll come back in a few days."
There were many people buying stewed food, so Chen Lin had no time to talk and could only nod obediently, "I know, Dad and Mom, don't worry!"
He knew that his family was building a house. In the morning, his parents said they were going to order doors and windows. The village head grandfather also said that his mother was helping to collect medicinal herbs in the village. He knew how busy she was just thinking about it.
"Okay, then we'll go home first!"
After Cheng Yue finished speaking, she said hello to Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong, then followed Chen An to the backyard to find the head of the village.
The village head was sitting in the courtyard. When he saw the two men coming in, he stood up and asked, "Why are you back so soon? Have you already decided on the doors and windows?"
With such a big house, he thought he would have to be busy until the afternoon, but he didn't expect it to be so quick.
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "It's settled. We know the carpenter and we've thought of the style in advance. We'll come back after we settle the bill."
The head of the village was a little worried and wanted to ask what kind of wood was used to prevent him from being fooled. But then he changed his mind and laughed. He was really old and confused. Chen An did this and must know more than him.
"That's good, that's good!"
Chen An smiled and said, "Uncle Lizheng, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
The village head stroked his head, which only had a few sparse hairs, and smiled naively.
Cheng Yue asked again, "Uncle Lizheng, we are going home now. Do you want to tell Shao Wen?"
"No need, we've said everything we need to say, let's just go home!"
Speaking of going home, he was extremely excited, because there were seventeen taels of silver in the basket!
Just now he was sitting there doing nothing, and when he carefully counted his share, he found that it was about 1 tael and 5 cents!
Seeing the red-faced appearance of the governor, Cheng Yue and Chen An smiled at each other, and the latter immediately went to pull the ox cart, "Let's go home!"
Not to mention the head of the village, I guess the villagers are also looking forward to it and are afraid that they have no intention of picking medicinal herbs.
Chen Tong, Chen Ning and the others collected a lot and also received two taels of silver. If the two children knew about this, they would be so happy that they would not be able to sleep all night.
As the group passed through the town, Cheng Yue stopped by Wu's pork shop and saw the two men busy cleaning up. Not to mention the pork, even the machete was gone on the table.
"Dad, Mom, are you guys shutting down the stall?"
This is quite fast. They made the decision in just a few days.
Father Cheng and Mrs. Wu were sweeping vigorously when they were startled by the sudden sound beside their ears. Mrs. Wu straightened up and turned around to curse:
"You damn girl, you don't make any noise when you walk, and suddenly you shouted and almost sent me away!"
Cheng Yue touched her nose and said, "My voice isn't loud, it's just that you guys are too engrossed..."
Wu glared at him, "You stupid girl, you're blaming me!"
Father Cheng said helplessly, "I miss you when I'm not around, and we argue when we meet. By the way, my girl, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Then he remembered that he hadn't answered his daughter's question yet, and said, "This stall was closed yesterday. We are here to clean up the owner's house today. Your mother and I will listen to you. We will go to collect herbs during this time."
It was a good coincidence that my daughter came. If she had come a day later, we would have missed her.
Cheng Yue nodded and said with a smile: "We are going to the county town today to deliver the medicinal materials. I came here to tell you that I have already made arrangements with Doctor Xu. You can just take them and sell them."
There was no mobile phone at that time, and the delivery time in their village did not coincide with that here with my parents. It was impossible to run around to ask every day, and it was too troublesome. It would be better to sell it myself.
Anyway, the price is the same. At most you just need to go to the county town and pay a two-cent entrance fee.
Wu said straightforwardly: "Okay, it's more convenient for us to sell it ourselves!"
Then he looked around and asked softly, "Girl, how much are those herbs per pound?"
She really calls me a girl when she has something to do, and a dead girl when she has nothing to do. Her mother is really hypocritical...
She came here to talk about this. Even though I have double standards, I still have to say it. "Anemarrhena asphodeloides is 50 wen per jin, and Artemisia argyi and Leonurus japonicus are the same price, 20 wen per jin."
"What?!"
"Oh my! God!"
Father Cheng and Mrs. Wu exclaimed at the same time. There was actually a sky-high price of fifty cents per pound?
The two covered their mouths, looked at each other, and decided immediately, "Hurry up, clean it up quickly and go up the mountain early!"
Cheng Yue knew this would happen, "Just relax, I'll help you!"
When the head of the village saw this, he immediately called out to Chen An, "You go and help, I'll lead the ox cart."
He felt the same excitement!
With Chen An's participation, the floor was cleaned shiny in less than a quarter of an hour. Father Cheng and Mrs. Wu kept nodding their heads, "Son-in-law is still the best!"
Cheng Yue was calm, okay!
The family washed their hands, locked the door and went out. Cheng's father and Wu greeted the head of the village and thanked him. "Head of the village, Zhang, my daughter always says that you take good care of her. Thank you so much! It's a blessing for the children to meet a good elder like you!"
My daughter said that this picture is exactly the good one. The parents are thinking about them everywhere. This is the blessing of the children. As their parents, they have never thanked them specifically.
The head of the village was too embarrassed to keep praising her, "Hey? You guys raised a good girl, who is not only kind-hearted but also capable. It is a blessing for our village that she married into our village!"
Without her, how could our village be what it is today? Now everyone is getting better and better, and we really have to thank Cheng Yue girl!"
Upon hearing this, Father Cheng and Mrs. Wu couldn't suppress their smiles. Their backs straightened up, and the feeling of pride surged to the top of their heads!
Cheng Yue felt embarrassed and had to stop them, "Dad, Mom, don't you want to go pick herbs?"
Father Cheng raised his hand, "Yes, yes, Zhang Lizheng, we'll talk again some other day!"
The head of the village smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go and get busy first. We still have to hurry up and make money!"
Father Cheng nodded affirmatively, "Zhang Lizheng's words make sense!"
Cheng Yue shook her head and laughed, "Mom and Dad, get in the car, we'll take you back."
"No, no, the bullock cart can't move faster than us! Let's go!"
Father Cheng said goodbye to Mrs. Wu and left without stopping. The speed was indeed faster than that of an ox cart.
Cheng Yue was helpless. Seeing the good opportunity of making money, she quickened her pace.
Father Cheng and Mrs. Wu ran away in a flash. The head of the village was slightly surprised. They were in better health than him!
If Cheng Yue knew that the head of the village thought this way, she would have to say, it's the same thing.
As soon as Cheng's father and Wu left, Cheng Yue said, "Let's go too, back to the village to distribute the silver!"
