Mrs. Ye tied the picked vegetables with straw rope and handed them to Tian and Yan. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and said with a smile, "You are working for the emperor. How can I not trust you?"
When Tian and Yan heard this, they were immediately filled with respect, and felt that the Ye family had suddenly become powerful.
Yan had originally only ordered a handful of coriander, intending to go home and make some soup. But now, holding the vegetables in her hand, an idea suddenly occurred to her: "Hey, Third Sister-in-law, I want some other vegetables. Give me some spinach, celery, or something."
Tian was puzzled by this. Because they had bought the grocery store and had a lot of goods left over from the New Year, Wang Jindou and Yan had been living an extremely tight life recently.
I really want to string money on my ribs, and every time I spend a penny my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys will ache.
Why are you suddenly so generous now?
Before she could ask, she felt Yan nudging her with her elbow.
"Auntie Tian, why don't you buy more quickly? The seedlings are almost ready. If you don't buy more now, you won't be able to eat them later."
When Tian heard this, she suddenly realized, that's right!
These vegetables that have been harvested have been selling well in the village recently.
Tian had come to buy some before, and after returning home, Doctor Gu found them delicious, so he urged her to buy some more.
Originally, there were only the two of them at home, so she didn't buy too much each time. She would buy more after they finished eating.
Anyway, the Ye family has grown so many vegetables, they must be sold.
But now all the vegetables in the garden have been bought up by Mr. Cen, so doesn’t that mean only the last few seedlings that have not been planted are left to buy?
Thinking of this, Tian made a quick decision and said, "I want some more too!"
Who would have thought that Sister Ye San looked at the few remaining vegetable seedlings and said embarrassedly: "Auntie Tian, I'm so sorry, there are only so few left. We have to have a meal at home, don't you think?"
Tian had no choice but to say, "Then just sell me another bundle of chrysanthemum. My husband loves to eat this!"
Mrs. Ye San actually wanted to sell it, but when she thought about her two sons who also liked to eat Chinese cabbage, she hesitated.
Fortunately, after her impulsive behavior, Yan came to her senses and began to feel pain again. Seeing this, she quickly pretended to be magnanimous and said, "In this case, give the chrysanthemum that I wanted later to Aunt Tian!"
"That way, everyone is happy." Mrs. Ye San took the money, smiled, and sent the two people out. As they walked away, she said, "Remember to tell the villagers that my family will no longer sell vegetables, so that everyone won't have to come here for nothing."
After sending the people away, Mrs. Ye San pulled out all the remaining vegetable seedlings in the room and prepared them for cooking at noon.
Since this is all that’s left, it’s time to improve the food for my family.
Secondly, Boss Cen came all the way here and bought all her dishes. She couldn't just let him eat cabbage, radishes and wild vegetables.
After lunch, Mr. Cen asked Mr. Ye to find him some paper and pen, and drew up a contract for buying vegetables. He stamped it himself and asked Mrs. Ye San to come over and put her fingerprints on it.
Worried that Mrs. Ye might misunderstand, Mr. Cen explained, "Don't worry, it's not that I don't trust you.
"But you know, I'm just an errand boy.
"Every penny I spend needs to be backed up, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself later."
When Mrs. Ye San was called to press her fingerprints, she actually felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, she was born and raised in the countryside and had never done business.
When villagers do things, unless they are selling houses, land, children or daughters, there is no need to write a deed.
However, after listening to Mr. Cen's explanation, she immediately understood.
That's right. We are doing work for the emperor. We can't just spend whatever amount of money we want. There must be written proof.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but blush, feeling a little ashamed of her previous suspicion, and quickly pressed her handprint on it.
Mr. Cen immediately took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "This is your deposit, please keep it well.
"If something unexpected happens and I don't need your vegetables anymore, you don't have to return the money to me, you can still sell the vegetables to someone else.
"If everything goes well, the remaining money will be given to you when I come to collect the vegetables."
Mrs. Ye San didn't expect that she could actually get the deposit, and she became happy again.
Apart from anything else, just being able to get these five taels of silver made her feel that her hard work for so many days was not in vain.
Only after deciding to buy groceries did Mr. Cen feel a little tired.
After all, he was old, and it was already tiring for him to ride in a bumpy carriage all the way to the village. He was also too excited when he saw the vegetables in the yard.
In order not to waste such delicious tender vegetables, Mr. Cen even volunteered to take on the task of making those vegetarian dishes himself at noon.
Now that I have finished all the work, I finally feel tired.
Seeing that the old man looked tired, Boss Ye quickly took him to the west room and said, "Old man, the bedding is ready for you. It has been freshly washed and dried. Please go to sleep and have a good rest.
"Don't worry, we'll still have time to go back once you get up."
Elder Cen sat sideways on the kang and said, "If it were a few years ago, I would have urged you to go back.
"In recent years, I've felt more and more that I'm really getting older. I can't help but accept my age!"
"You're not old at all, you're just a little tired today.
"You forgot, the way you cooked at noon made the third son's wife dumbfounded.
"It's no exaggeration to say that you're still strong despite your age."
Elder Cen had already lain down, but upon hearing this he could not help but laugh, "He's still strong even at age, isn't he the youngest?"
