Chapter 55 Buy and Sell
Zhao Qiao'e rubbed her knees nervously and didn't say anything more.
As for Lin Zhaozhao, Zhao Qiao'e still had some feelings for her because of the incident against Song Yuntang in Rongshu Village last time, so she did not take the initiative to greet her. Instead, Song Yuntang waved at her without any hesitation.
"Ms. Lin, do you think what I said before is true? I said that we will have many opportunities to meet in the future, right?"
That expression looked well-behaved and friendly, but only Lin Zhaozhao could see that Song Yuntang was provoking her, a naked provocation!
He clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, and finally couldn't help but snorted and turned his head to the window.
As Lin Zhaozhao's mother and a woman who has stayed in the back house for so many years, how could Zhuang Wenyin not know what she was thinking?
But now that an outsider like Zhao Qiao'e was present, she couldn't educate her in the carriage. After an awkward smile, the carriage became quiet.
There was no conversation along the way, and they finally reached a fork in the road. Song Yuntang and Zhao Qiao'e got off the carriage after thanking Zhuang Wenyin.
After watching the first carriage leave, the next carriage slowed down as it passed the two of them. Lin Jingyao lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at Song Yuntang and said, "Tang'er, be careful on the road."
Song Yuntang waved his hand, and turned around and walked towards Rongshu Village with Zhao Qiao'e.
…
When I got home, it was already noon.
"Tang'er!" Song Jinyuan ran towards Song Yuntang with excitement, took her to the pigpen, and uncovered the wet thin cloth on one of the buckets. "Look, the soybeans sprouted so quickly!"
Song Yuntang stretched his neck to take a look inside. "The temperature is high, so it's normal for them to germinate quickly. They will grow for a day tomorrow, and we can take them to town to sell the day after tomorrow."
Song Jinyuan's eyes lit up, "So, can I go with you to meet my future brother-in-law the day after tomorrow?"
Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows.
"Whether it will work or not is still uncertain, don't call it so early."
Song Jinyuan hurriedly covered the bucket with cotton cloth, and after Song Yuntang left the house, he closed the door of the pigpen.
"Didn't mother say that the Wu family is well off?"
"If the conditions are good, I will agree to it?" Song Yuntang looked at Song Jinyuan and asked in a low voice, "Didn't my elder brother and his wife fall in love with each other before getting married?"
Song Jinyuan shook his head. "Our marriage was arranged by our elders. I didn't even know what your sister-in-law looked like before the veil was lifted."
Song Yuntang pursed his lips and suddenly felt that there was no point in talking to him.
"Then pretend I didn't ask."
After saying that, he went back to the house to rest.
Song Jinyuan scratched his head in confusion, wondering why he suddenly ignored him when he didn't say anything wrong?
He shook his head and went back to his room.
During dinner, Liu Xiangyun took off the purse from her waist, poured all the copper coins inside onto the table and pushed them in the direction of Song Yuntang.
"Tang'er, this is the sixty-five cents I received from selling shampoo today. Please count it."
Song Yuntang was stunned. "Didn't everyone complain about the high price last night? Why are there still people buying it today?"
"They saw people who bought it showing off." Liu said with a smile, "Luckily, we villagers don't have any, otherwise who knows how they would show off."
Song Yuntang smiled and put the copper coins on the table into his purse without counting.
Today's harvest was quite considerable. Holding the money in her hands made her feel more at ease.
…
The day agreed to meet with the Wu family arrived.
Early in the morning, Song Jinyuan put all the first batch of bean sprouts into a bamboo winnowing basket.
The soybean sprouts grown in four buckets and a bathtub were just enough to fill two winnowing baskets.
He soaked another 1.5 liters of soybeans, took a bamboo tube and sprayed the soybean sprouts with water, put it in a winnowing basket, covered it with wet cotton cloth, and then carried it on a shoulder pole and set off with Song Jinbao and Song Yuntang.
The three of them walked to the town. There was still more than half an hour left before the time agreed with the Wu father and son, so they went to the market on East Street together to sell bean sprouts.
Although we didn't arrive early, it was a hot day and every household's vegetable garden was not growing well, so there were not many people selling vegetables. We quickly found a relatively good spot.
Song Jinyuan put the dustpan on the ground, uncovered the cotton cloth and sprinkled water on the bean sprouts first.
"I'm selling bean sprouts. Three cents a bunch."
There is no scale at home, so I can only grab it by feel.
With Song Jinyuan and his son Song Jinbao looking after the stall, there was no need for Song Yuntang to stand by and watch over them.
I looked up and saw the pastry shop at the entrance of the market. I had never eaten date paste pastry before, but now I actually missed the taste.
Thinking that he had made a small profit in the past few days, he walked towards the pastry shop.
He spent eighteen cents to buy a portion of jujube paste cake, took a piece and took a bite, and just as he turned around, he met Lin Gengshi.
Both of them were stunned, as if they didn't expect to meet here.
Afterwards, Song Yuntang ignored him and walked straight past him towards Song Jinbao and Song Jinyuan who were not far away.
"Dad, big brother, try it." She said, handing the pastry wrapped in oil paper to the two of them.
Song Jinbao took a look and found that the pastries were exquisite and smelled fragrant, but there were only five or six pieces in total, so he waved his hand.
"Dad won't eat it, you eat it."
Song Jinyuan also collected the money and said, "I'm busy right now, sister, you can eat by yourself."
The aunt squatting nearby buying bean sprouts glanced in Song Yuntang's direction and said with a smile, "The girl is still a blessed person."
Hearing this, Song Jinyuan was so happy that he grabbed a handful of bean sprouts for the old lady.
"Go slowly, Auntie."
The lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Hey, if it tastes good, I'll come to buy it from you tomorrow."
Song Yuntang looked in the direction of the two winnowing baskets. After just a short while, one of the winnowing baskets was almost empty.
Looking around, they found that compared with other vegetable farmers, the price of their bean sprouts was not high, and these people had never eaten them before, so naturally they were more popular.
After Lin Gengshi bought a portion of date paste cake, he glanced in the direction of Song Yuntang, but did not disturb her and hurried back to the Lin family.
Song Yuntang stood aside and slowly finished his second piece of jujube paste cake. Both baskets of bean sprouts had been sold out.
It was Song Jinyuan's first time setting up a stall to do business in town. He was very happy to make money.
He collected the things and picked up the two empty winnowing baskets on a shoulder pole.
"Dad, Tang'er, go to Yuchun Teahouse to find Matchmaker Zhou first. I'll put the things on Grandpa Sun's ox cart and come over."
Song Jinbao nodded, "Okay."
Song Jinyuan was quite fast. Before Song Jinbao and Song Yuntang stepped into Yuchun Teahouse, Song Jinyuan arrived here breathlessly.
"Dad, Tang'er."
Song Jinbao looked at him unhappily and said, "Look at you, you're out of breath. Don't lose face for Tang'er in front of your future in-laws."
After hearing this, Song Jinyuan quickly straightened up and calmed his disordered breathing.
Song Yuntang looked at the two of them with a strange expression.
A future brother-in-law and a future in-law?
He started yelling before he even started thinking.
They are indeed father and son.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?" Seeing someone coming, the waiter of the teahouse hurried over to greet him.
Song Jinbao did not respond to him. He looked around the teahouse and pointed to Matchmaker Zhou who was waving at him not far away. "We are looking for someone."
