Chapter 167 Tai Yongan negotiated a good deal!
Tai Jiye was startled and slapped his nephew on the back of the head.
"You little bastard, you act like a daredevil every day and can't even talk properly!"
Tai Yongan chuckled and scratched the back of his head, "Uncle San, please hit me gently. It doesn't hurt me, but your hand will! Besides, when we get home, if Grandpa finds out that I've been beaten silly, he'll kick you out of the house!"
Tai Jiye was so angry that he wanted to blow his beard, but unfortunately he couldn't, so he could only glare.
Min Liang was amused by the two uncle and nephew, and quickly changed the subject, "What good thing did Yongan get?"
Tai Yongan immediately became alert again and took out a dagger with a jewel and presented it to Baoer.
"I just wrestled with these nomads and beat five of them in a row. I got a dagger! It's so beautiful! I'll take it home and give it to my sister. She's sure to like it!"
Min Liang took it and examined it carefully, and couldn't help but praise it, "Oh, it's really a good thing. It must have come from the grassland royal court. This kind of craftsmanship can't be made in ordinary places!"
Tai Yongan became even more proud and was so happy that he wanted to jump a few times on the spot.
Tai Jiye also noticed a bruise on his nephew's face at this moment, and he felt both distressed and angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to wrestle with others? Why didn't you listen? What if you break an arm or a leg? How am I going to explain myself when I get back?"
Tai Yongan chuckled and shamelessly pestered his uncle.
"I'm fine, they're all weaklings, no match for me!"
Tai Jiye really felt powerless even when beating someone. This nephew was born to torture him.
After spending so much time together, Min Liang has become familiar with the Tai family and is no longer so cautious and restrained.
He looked at the dagger again, then pulled Tai Jiye and Tai Yongan to a corner of the tent and said, "Brother Tai, Yongan, if I remember correctly, Yongan's little sister is only three years old, right? A girl that young should like snacks, jewelry, and new dresses. Would she like these things involving fighting and killing?"
Tai Jiye didn't say anything, and Tai Yongan was already discouraged.
Yes, he liked the dagger, so he thought his sister would like it too. He really forgot that his sister was only three years old. I'm afraid that in his sister's heart, this dagger is not as valuable as a box of snacks...
Perhaps Min Liang felt there was an opportunity, so he quickly added, "It just so happens that my master wants to prepare a birthday gift for a good friend in Shuntian Prefecture. That nobleman is frail but also likes martial arts, so I think this dagger is very suitable.
How about this? I'll buy it for a hundred taels of silver. What do you think?
Tai Yongan immediately objected, shaking his head like a rattle.
Min Liang thought he was dissatisfied with the small amount of money, and quickly raised the price, "One hundred taels is not enough, then one hundred and twenty..."
As a result, Tai Yongan threw out a sentence.
"My sister doesn't like silver, change it to something else!"
Min Liang's breath almost got stuck in his throat. He thought quickly in his mind and then came up with another plan.
"Then I'd like to exchange it for ten rolls of silk, two sets of jewelry suitable for my little girl, and... all she can eat at the pastry shop for a year. What do you think?"
Tai Yongan immediately thrust the dagger in his direction, "Deal! You're not allowed to refuse!"
Min Liang stuffed the dagger directly into his arms, his eyes narrowed with laughter, "Don't worry, I, Min Liang, will definitely keep my word."
Tai Jiye opened his mouth on the side...
Well, the deal is done, so he won't say any more.
Of course, there is no point in talking too much!
Not to mention that Tai Jiye was tortured to death by his nephew, but the people of Taijia Village, young and old, were busy for five or six days and finally planted all the fields.
I have to say that farmers are simple and honest. If they receive a favor from others, they always want to return it twice as quickly.
The Tai family has a few more acres of land this year, so it is naturally more difficult to farm than for other families.
So, whether it was their own family members or the villagers from Liujia Village and Zhangjia Village, they all rushed to help as soon as they finished planting the crops at home.
As a result, the Tai family finished their spring planting only two days later than other families.
God was also particularly kind. After the seeds had taken a short nap in the ground, the spring rain began to fall.
In a subtle and silent way, almost half of the year's harvest can be determined!
The old men and women in the village sat under a big tree at the entrance of the village and chatted, their voices getting louder. The wives of each family also took advantage of the good mood of their parents-in-law and before the cashmere work began, and asked to go back to their parents' home.
It is basic courtesy to return to one's parents' home without empty hands, and this reason has caused the wild beasts in the mountains to become restless.
Although it was spring, a critical breeding season for wild animals, and hunters had put away their bows and arrows, catching a rabbit or shooting a pheasant wouldn't have a significant impact on the mountain's ecology.
The man with a good reputation wanted to let his wife hold her head high in her parents' home, so he went to Tai's house with a silly smile.
"Sixth Uncle, we want to go up the mountain to look for some rabbits and pheasants, but we're not sure where to go. Could you please come with us? When the harvest is good in the autumn, I'll get you some wine!"
Before the old man could speak, he saw hope in his chubby granddaughter's big, bright eyes.
Zhimaqiu couldn't wait to rush into the house. The bolt of the stable door slammed and the big black horse's head popped out!
Well, the old man decisively "surrendered".
"Then go back and ask. If anyone is willing to go, we can come with you. But we have to agree that we can't go deep into the mountains. We can only hunt pheasants and rabbits, and nothing else."
"Okay, Uncle Six, don't worry, we will all be obedient!" The man ran away.
Early the next morning, Grandpa Tai was carrying a basket with a smiling fat girl sitting in it. Behind him were Tai Jizong, Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, and a big black horse carrying the lazy sesame balls.
