Chapter 67 Chapter 67 was shocked
The three of them hurried back, turned around the mountain, and when they were about to reach the stone bridge, Yang Chunyan called Zhou Huaian, "Huaian, grab some corn leaves for me."
Zhou Huaian stopped the car and asked, "What do you want the corn leaves for?"
Yang Chunyan walked quickly to him, put down the basket, and said, "Cover the meat with corn leaves to prevent others from asking questions."
At present, few people believed that the second branch of the Zhou family had contracted bezoars, and most people did not believe it. However, seeing that they bought so many things...
Zhou Huaian understood immediately, and immediately took the corn leaves from the bamboo basket and put them in the backpack, covered the meat, pig's feet and pig intestines inside, and also carefully covered the things he bought.
The three of them crossed the bridge and went up the slope. Before they reached home, they met several groups of people who were returning home from work. They all greeted them with a smile.
Seeing the three people pushing a chicken cart and carrying a basket into the village, they all looked out curiously, "Hey, this is Zhou Laoyao, so you can push a chicken cart?"
Zhou Huaian rolled his eyes, "..." I'm just lazy, not stupid. You guys just treat me like a prodigal son who knows nothing!
"Zhou Laoyao, what are you guys with your big bamboo baskets and big backpacks doing to sell them on the street?"
Zhou Huaian pointed at the corn leaves in the bamboo basket and said unhappily, "What are you selling? Corn! The early-ripening corn in my house had just been starched when Xu Hongbing, that bastard, started to steal it. The first time he stole thirty or forty bags, and the second time he stole a sack..."
"We took his clothes to the brigade and he still refused to admit it. If he dares to go again, I will cut the tendons of his hands and feet if I catch him. Let's see where he can run."
"My family also ordered some early-maturing corn, which also went bad a few days ago. It looks like it was caused by that scoundrel Xu Hongbing!"
"That bastard, he's been a dirty bastard since he was a kid. If you want to pick on his tendons, we support you."
"That's right, cut the tendons of his hands and feet, and see how he can go out and steal!"
"That's right, if you catch me, I'll support you too!"
Seeing that they were talking excitedly, Zhou Huaian pushed the chicken bus and walked back.
The women at the back were still talking. Most women in the countryside were like this. The greatest pleasure in their lives was to gossip about the neighbors.
Yang Chunyan and the other person entered the yard. Zhou's mother was turning over the herbs on the mats in the yard to dry. Zhou Xiaolin was sitting on the straw mat at the door of the main room and playing. Zhou Jiakang and others were picking half-flowered flowers, mountain whips and motherwort on the eaves.
"Mom, we're back."
"Why are there only two of you? Where's the youngest?"
"The youngest is at the back and will be here soon."
"My mom and aunt are back!" When they saw them coming back, they threw away the herbs in their hands and came over to greet them, "Did you buy some candy for us?"
"Tangtang, I want Tangtang!" Zhou Xiaolin hugged Li Qiuyue's legs, put down the basket, picked her up and kissed her, "Tangtang is with Auntie Yao!"
Yang Chunyan took out some fruit candies from her bag and gave a few to each person. "Eat less. If you eat too much, your teeth will get worms!"
"Got it!" Several children went to eat candies happily.
By the time Zhou's mother had finished turning over the herbs, Yang Chunyan and the other man had already taken all the meat out of the basket and put it in a basin.
Looking at the meat and vegetables in the basin, he frowned and asked, "Why did you buy so much again?"
"I bought it!" Zhou Huaian put down the chicken bus and sat down on the straw bench at the door, "I'm so tired." He stretched out his legs and began to untie the cloth bandages wrapped around his hands.
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him and was about to speak when Yang Chunyan stopped her and said, "Mom, the honey Huai'an brought to Dr. Wang's house is more expensive than in town by one yuan per pound. The extra money can't even be used to buy the meat."
"It's more than one yuan per pound!" Zhou's mother's eyes lit up after hearing this. "It's still the highest price in the city. I'll sell things in the city from now on."
Li Qiuyue also said, "Yes, I'll go to Ning'an to sell things in the future. Even the price of corn is higher than in the town."
Zhou's mother: "Have you sold the young corn as well?"
"We've sold them all." Li Qiuyue took the money from the eels and corn out of her bag and put it on the eight-immortal table. "I'll pick some corn tomorrow and bring Ning An to sell. Young corn is 10 cents a pound!"
Zhou's mother looked at her in disbelief, "Can it really be sold for 10 cents per pound?"
"Really? Look, the money is all here." Li Qiuyue smiled and pushed the money from selling corn in front of her. "More than 60 catties of corn were sold for 6.85 yuan. About 10 catties were sold for 1.1 yuan or 1 catty, and the rest were all sold for 10 yuan per catty."
Zhou's mother picked up the money, dipped her fingers in saliva, and counted it. "After all this time, it's more profitable to sell young corn in the city than corn seeds. I went to check today, and in two days we can break a batch. This year, we will break all the corn from several acres of land and sell it in the city, and use the money to buy rice."
"There were also yellow eels. The youngest one found a dealer and bought all of them from him at 3.8 yuan a pound. He sold them for 10.86 yuan."
After hearing this, Zhou's mother clapped her hands and laughed, "That's great, each family gets more than 2 yuan."
"Mom," Zhou Huaian came up, "We sold hundreds of dollars today, and my sister-in-law and the others can each get more than a hundred dollars."
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop bragging. Seven or eight dollars per person is a big deal."
"I don't believe it!" Zhou Huaian turned his head and looked at Yang Chunyan, "Yan'er, go get the money and share it with my sister-in-law and the others."
"Okay." Yang Chunyan nodded, "Go and call the eldest and second sisters-in-law."
"They are drying herbs in the backyard. I'll go and call them."
After saying this, Zhou's mother ran to the backyard like a gust of wind, and she ran two steps so fast that even Zhou Huaian couldn't keep up with her.
Zhou Huaian went out and lay on the recliner, thinking happily that he was also a man with a fortune of several hundred thousand. This money was enough to buy a bicycle, and it was still a little short of buying a cow. A bicycle was convenient for going out and it was a foreign brand!
The cow can help with plowing the fields, and can also be taken up the mountain to help carry herbs. What if another bezoar comes... Thinking of this, he became conflicted. Is it better to buy a bicycle or a cow?
Yang Chunyan went back to the house, untied the cloth bag, took out the more than 600 yuan from it and put it in the bag, hid the rest of the money in the compartment of the cabinet, took the list and went out, and saw Zhou's mother and two others were already waiting in the main room.
She entered the room and put the list on the table. "Three sisters-in-law, brothers should be clear about accounts. This is the list written by Doctor Wang. Please take a look."
Zhao Huifang looked at her in reproach, "Chunyan, we still don't believe you? What list are you looking at?"
Zhang Xiuxiang nodded, "Yes, if you say it's a lot, it's a lot."
Seeing that none of the three of them looked at it, Yang Chunyan had no choice but to pick up the bill and said, "This time the total sales are 646.76 yuan. You three will split 324 yuan, and the rest will be used as transportation fare."
As she spoke, under the dazed gazes of Zhou's mother and the other two, she took the money out of her bag and placed it on the table.
"Oh my god~" Zhou's mother, Zhao Huifang and the other two came to their senses after looking at the money on the table and exclaimed, "It really sold for that much money!"
"Yes!" Yang Chunyan looked at the few people, "We were lucky this time. We found several kilograms of high-quality Ganoderma lucidum and the Magnolia officinalis we picked was of good quality. The price also increased, so we sold so many."
Although Li Qiuyue already knew how much she had sold for, she still felt jealous when she saw the thick stack of money on the table.
Yang Chunyan glanced at her and began to count out the money to be divided among the three people.
