Chapter 209: Trouble

I heard that Zhang Jinlan wanted to give ten cents.

The old woman was stunned.

She waved her hands and said, "What? Ten cents? That's too much. They're just sour fruits, not worth much. Seven cents is enough. I don't want to make so much money from you. Fruits are everywhere in the mountains and fields at this time of year. You can pick a few baskets easily if you look for them."

The old woman is dutiful and honest.

She told Zhang Jinlan truthfully.

These green plums were brought from the mountain by her son and daughter-in-law. It cost no money and was not much effort. In a short while, they got two large baskets.

How can it be sold for ten cents?

That's just killing people.

She couldn't do such a thing.

After all, green plums are very sour and hard to swallow. Except for pregnant women, almost no one eats them. Before she came, she didn't expect anyone to buy them.

Jiang Fubao saw that such simple farmers were actually very common.

Because he was kind and honest and didn't want to take advantage of others, he was poor all his life.

If we were more smart, life would have been better long ago.

Jiang Fubao tugged at the corner of grandma's clothes, thinking about telling her to just give him ten cents.

However, he hasn't opened his mouth yet.

Grandma and she were in perfect sync.

"Okay, that's ten cents. It's not easy for you to carry the basket in this hot weather. I want all of this. Keep the money. Yamato, come and get the things. Wait here. I'll ask my son to deliver the green plums to the backyard of the shop and then return the bamboo basket to you."

Zhang Jinlan counted out ten copper plates and placed them in the old woman's hand, then shouted towards the shop.

"Oh, thank you, thank you so much, good people will be rewarded, you will live to be a hundred years old in good health, your granddaughter will grow up safely, I wish you good fortune."

If you don't accept it, you will be ungrateful.

The old woman held the copper plate and thanked him repeatedly.

Auspicious words come out for free.

Zhang Jinlan was delighted to hear this, and she was also happy to speak about it.

Both the buyer and the seller smiled like chrysanthemums.

Only Jiang Fubao was drooling because of the jealousy.

This green plum is really lethal.

Who could have thought it would be so sour.

It even goes beyond eating lemons on empty stomach.

After an incense stick of time, the uncle returned the bamboo basket to the old lady selling green plums, and Jiang Fubao watched her leave.

At that moment, the sour feeling in my mouth completely disappeared.

She was led by her grandmother back to the backyard.

"Fubao, how do you make the green plum drink you mentioned before? Can you tell grandma?" Zhang Jinlan looked at her granddaughter and asked carefully.

Wherever you look, you see green plums all over the ground.

She was a little worried.

Why did I buy so much on impulse?

She didn't think there were too many green plums in the bamboo basket just now, but they ended up piling up like a small mountain.

This thing will go bad in a few days at most.

I have to find out how to make green plum drink.

Zhang Jinlan thought in her heart.

"It can be made into two kinds! Grandma, you have to wash the green plums first, and then dry them. If there is water, it will be spoiled. After it is dried, soak half of the green plums in wine, and make sure to cover it well, just like grandma pickles pickled vegetables. Pickle the other half with sweet water and three spoons of salt, and also cover it well.

Both of these can be drunk in a month. Then mix the tea Uncle Kong gave me with the fragrant osmanthus and boil it. After it cools down, add a cut green plum and a little sugar, and it will be green plum drink. One kind has the taste of wine that adults drink, and the other is sour and sweet. Fubao likes it. Grandma, Chunxia’s grandma has osmanthus at home, it is especially fragrant! "

Last year, Ma Chunxia picked a branch of osmanthus for the original owner.

That scene is clearly recorded in my memory.

Through his memory, Jiang Fubao seemed to travel through time and really smelled the scent of osmanthus.

Her favorite drink is green plum drink with osmanthus flavor, and the tea mixed with osmanthus is so fragrant.

This is something she had made herself in modern times.

It tastes very refreshing, icy, sour and sweet. The pickled green plums are also very delicious.

Thinking of this, she was so greedy.

Making green plum drink is just the right way to use up the tea that Uncle Kong brought.

And in another month, the osmanthus flowers will bloom.

When the time comes, you can go to Grandma Chunxia’s house to buy it, or go to the foot of the mountain. There are also two osmanthus trees there, but the trees are not very big and have few flowers.

Not as much as Chunxia Grandma’s.

"Okay, when we get home tonight, grandma will start pickling. There happen to be two empty jars at home. For four silver coins, go buy two cans of wine. The cheapest one. I won't drink the wine anyway. I'll just use it to pickle things. It would be a waste to buy expensive ones.

Forget it, I see you can't carry it all by yourself, you go to the front of the shop and let your second brother do the buying, you and your eldest brother will look after the shop, Pingmei, I'll leave the stove to you, grill the skewers well."

Zhang Jinlan looked at her frail little son and worried that he couldn't hold two cans of wine.

Just let him go ahead and replace the second son.

Jiang Siyin didn't say much, just nodded, put down the skewers and walked over.

Sun Pingmei took his place.

Responsible for grilling.

After grilling for a while, she bent down and secretly ate a skewer of vegetarian vegetables. As for why she didn't eat the meat skewers, it was because they were expensive and she couldn't bear to eat them.

Looks sneaky.

Afraid of being seen by family members.

In the afternoon, the shop was closed.

She ate half her meal.

Jiang Fubao saw it all and was speechless.

Second aunt-in-law always treats others as fools. It’s ok for her to steal food, but she should at least hide the skewer.

There were a dozen bamboo sticks that appeared on the ground out of nowhere. Did they really think grandma and the others couldn't see them?

Besides, even if she eats openly, grandma won’t scold her.

My second aunt always thought that being greedy was wrong, so she loved to eat secretly.

Sure enough, Zhang Jinlan, who was cleaning the yard, looked at the bamboo sticks on the ground, cast a helpless look at her second daughter-in-law, and shook her head.

She was used to this kind of thing.

So he did not expose his daughter-in-law, but quietly swept the bamboo stick away.

Help her destroy the 'evidence'.

"Let's pack up and go to Mrs. Wan's house. I must make a scene this time, otherwise they will think we are easy to bully and even steal from the shop. I will not let them go.

Just now, I have already asked the owner of the wine shop next door. The Wan family is the third door in the middle of the Never-Sleeping Alley. Humph, you guys just wait and see. I will scold her to death. This old bitch can't be allowed to steal our wine for nothing. Yamato and Eryong are also following. With you two here, they dare not do anything."

The eldest son and the second son looked ferocious.

She had scared many children in the village since she was young, and this had caused her a lot of trouble.

Afraid that the two brothers would cause trouble.

I was also afraid that they wouldn’t be able to find wives.

But, at such times, the looks of the two sons come in handy.

It gave her some confidence.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Jiang family members got on the ox carts and went to Linxiang.

Because it's close.

It will be here in a moment.

The ox cart stopped in front of the Bai family’s gate.

Zhang Jinlan walked over and knocked on the Bai family's door.

"Who?"

Wan asked casually in the yard.

Zhang Jinlan didn't answer.

The moment the door opened, her slap landed on Wan's face.
