Tian An didn't go to bed until almost midnight last night. Then, her usually punctual body clock failed to work. When she woke up, Da Niu had already led his men into the mountains.
Aiyu is used for business, so the quantity cannot be small. Since the tree was found yesterday, Daniu wanted to pick more while he was here.
Tian An had just eaten something and was about to start working when the village chief arrived.
Building a village school is related to the future of the children in the village, so the village chief attaches great importance to it.
He was afraid that Tian An would go back on his word, so he hurried to get the deed ready and came to find Tian An.
Opportunities are fleeting, and if you miss this one, you don’t know when you’ll have the chance again! Apart from Tian An, I’m afraid no one else in the village has the ability to build a village school, and even if they do, they may not be willing to do so.
After taking the land deed, Tian An readily gave the silver to the village chief.
Then I asked Mangzhong to inform Master An to check the ground materials and prepare to start the work. When he came back, he would bring two people to help process the jade.
"Don't forget to bring extra dustpans."
After Grain in Ear was gone, Tian An went to see the little rabbits again, grabbed a handful of vegetables for them, and then began to process the aiyu fruit.
To harvest the aiyu fruit, you need to peel off the green skin first, then make a vertical cut on the fruit, put it in a winnowing basket and take it out to dry in the sun.
When the fruit softens after being dried in the sun, turn it over along the cut so that the seed side faces outwards.
Turn all the fruits over and dry them in the sun. The seeds can be easily taken out of the dried fruits with a knife.
Take out the fruit seeds, put them in a cloth bag and store them dry, just like the small bag I took from Qin Yalan's house before.
By the time Grain in Ear came back, Tian An had already processed about ten pounds of fish. After telling the aunts what he wanted, they all got busy.
Both were diligent and quick-footed, used to farm work, and soon they had peeled a basketful of aiyu fruit. After lifting them under the sun to dry, they moved on to the rest.
After processing another basket of fruits, the fruits that had been dried previously had softened, so one person was assigned to turn the fruits while the others continued to peel them.
Tian An and Daniu didn't bring back many fruits, so they finished processing them all in the morning. All they had to do was wait for the sun to dry them.
After lunch, Tian An dug up all the golden thread vines planted in the ground during the Grain in Ear season, preparing to sell them along with the ones in the space. He also kept a few for seedlings.
After digging the ground, before Tian An could take a break, Peng Zhang came again.
As soon as Peng Zhang entered the yard, he saw Tian An sitting under the eaves to rest. He looked at the things drying in the winnowing baskets in the yard and asked curiously:
"What's in your winnowing basket?"
Tian An looked up at him and said weakly, "It's delicious."
Hearing this, Peng Zhang ran back to take a look and touch the aiyu fruits.
"Can this thing be eaten?" He expressed disbelief.
Tian An didn't explain, but simply said, "Our shop will open in a few days. Come and try it and you'll know."
Peng Zhang's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Shop? What shop? How come I don't know about it?"
He pointed at the winnowing basket and said, "If you open a shop, sell this stuff."
"You'll know now! When the time comes, you'll know what I'm selling!" Tian An said.
Peng Zhang said a little aggrievedly, "You're planning to open a shop, but you're only telling me now. Do you consider me a friend?"
Tian An didn't feel guilty at all about this: "I just got the shop! Besides, you weren't here earlier! I have nowhere to talk even if I want to! By the way, why are you here today!"
Hearing this, Peng Zhang stopped worrying and didn't explain why he was there. He excitedly told Tian An how much he had sold the tiger he brought back that day.
But when he heard him say that the tiger was sold for 620 taels and he was still very excited, Tian An looked at him as if he was a fool.
He spent six hundred and eighty taels to buy the tiger from me, and sold it for six hundred and twenty taels. Doesn't that mean he still lost sixty taels?
This guy is not stupid! He wouldn't do such a loss-making business and act like he made a lot of money!
Unfortunately, Peng Zhang didn't realize that Tian An had already lumped him in with the fool. He was still happily talking!
It was Peng Zhong who couldn't stand it anymore and helped Tian An to clear up the confusion:
"Our young master only sold the tiger skin for this much money because he kept it. Otherwise, the skin alone would be worth two or three hundred taels!"
Tian An was also surprised: "Is tiger skin so valuable?"
No wonder Peng Zhang is fighting to the death with Boss Yu.
Before she could think about it, Peng Zhang said, "That tiger skin is quite good. It only has a hole where the arrow hit its forehead. The rest is intact. I spent ten taels of silver to find someone to peel it off. Two or three hundred taels is the price in the prefecture. If you want to take it to the capital, you'll have to pay at least a thousand taels."
Tian An said sourly, "You even spent ten taels of silver to hire someone to skin the animal. If Brother Yiming did it, he would definitely be better than the one you hired."
Peng Zhang shook his head. He didn't care about the ten taels of silver. He had plenty of money.
Tian An felt her heart bleed! The silver flew away. She really wanted to get the tiger skin back!
Peng Zhang guessed what Tian An was thinking as soon as he saw her expression. He said with a frown, "Don't even think about it. The tiger skin is mine."
Tian An pursed her lips. Who did he take her for? She knew the rules of buying and leaving. She refused to admit that she had really wanted to get the tiger skin back.
Before Tian An could recover from the sadness of the silver flying away, Peng Zhang came up to him with a nasty smile on his face.
"Why don't you talk to Zhao Yiming and ask him to hunt a few more tigers and sell them to me!"
Tian An exploded: "You think the tiger is yours! Beat it up if you want! There are still several of them! Go away, go back and come back when you wake up."
Tian An regretted selling him one so much that his intestines turned green. He wanted a few more. Why didn't he just pick them himself?
Peng Zhong, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed. His son was too shameless. He didn't know how to read people's faces. Didn't he see that Miss An An was regretting her death, but he kept poking her in the heart.
Peng Zhang also knew that it was impossible, he was just asking! But after showing off, it was time to get down to business.
"I came here to pick grapes today. I was so busy catching tigers the other day that I didn't have time to pick any grapes!"
When Tian An heard the word "tiger", his heart ached and he didn't want to sell the grapes to Peng Zhang anymore.
Peng Zhong felt that he was also worried to death. He kept winking at Peng Zhang, asking his son to pay more attention and stop mentioning the tiger!
It’s a pity that some stupid person keeps complaining about the tiger’s strengths and weaknesses.
Until Tian An couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "If you mention tigers again, don't even think about taking a single grape from me."
Only then did Peng Zhang stop talking with a wronged look on his face.
I feel so tired!
