Perhaps the peddlers had not expected that there would be a woman in this small town who would buy so much. Seeing that she was a big customer, they became even more enthusiastic: "This pink one is five hundred coins, this gold one is two taels of silver, and this white one is also two taels of silver, a total of... eighty-five taels."
Yang Haiyan has many pearl necklaces in modern times. Take this pink flower bead for example. A string of this kind costs about six to eight thousand. Here, twenty-five taels of silver, although it is only twenty-five taels, each tael is equal to fifty grams. According to the modern five yuan per gram of silver, it is also more than six thousand. So the price of pearls is similar to that of modern times.
However, she did not buy pearls to trade with the platform, but to wear them herself.
Yang Haiyan negotiated the price with the peddler: "I want all of these, and you can give me this small one, fifty pieces." She pointed to the small white pearls, about 5mm each. The difference of 2mm in the size of the pearls can make a big difference in the price.
The peddler hurriedly said: "No, no, this one costs 100 coins each, and 50 pieces will cost 5 taels of silver."
Yang Haiyan: "Forget it." After saying that, she stood up.
The peddler called her anxiously: "Madam...this lady..."
Yang Haiyan turned around: "I am a straightforward person, if you sell, I will buy, if you don't sell, don't call me, I don't like to drag." In fact, she felt that the price could be lowered a little, but in her opinion, the selling price was worth it, so she was too lazy to pay too much.
This was the first order from the peddler. For a good omen, he had no choice but to sell it: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. You are really good at bargaining."
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "I wish you a lot of money."
The peddler was very happy to hear this and said, "You are really good at talking. Don't you like this jade?"
Yang Haiyan shook her head. She didn't like gambling and taking risks, so she decided not to try.
After receiving the beads, Yang Haiyan was in a good mood. In addition to the ones she liked, the fifty beads given by the peddler could be used as rewards or gifts.
Then, she bought some seeds from other peddler's places, such as flower seeds. The reason for buying them was not that she wanted to grow flowers, but that she planned to use the flower seed bags to pack the fruit and vegetable seeds she bought on the platform. In addition to the seeds, she also bought some saplings. The vendor said it didn't matter what kind of fruit tree saplings it was, she would mix them with the fruit tree saplings she bought from the platform.
After buying these things, she went to the backyard of the snack shop, and then put the fruit tree saplings and fruit and vegetable seeds she bought from the platform into a basket, and then went to find Sister Lu. This arrangement was perfect and no one would find out.
Mrs. Lu bought a few pieces of leather and some odds and ends. When she saw Yang Haiyan's basket, she was stunned: "What did you buy? What are all these?"
Yang Haiyan smiled and explained: "There are flower seeds, vegetable seeds, fruit seeds, and fruit tree seedlings. I think they are all interesting, so I bought some. I will plant them all in the house tomorrow. I don't know what they are, but it's fun."
Mrs. Lu didn't know what to say, and she couldn't say anything. After all, Haiyan had money, unlike her, so their lifestyles were also different.
The two of them bought almost everything, so they went back to the family room.
Yang Haiyan just walked in and saw Qin Siya walking back and forth at the door. Seeing her coming back, Qin Siya ran out happily: "Sister-in-law."
Yang Haiyan looked at her and could guess something: "How did you learn the characters today?"
Qin Siya opened the book in her hand: "Today, Aunt Lian taught me ten characters, and I remember them all. In addition to characters, she also taught me arithmetic."
The arithmetic that Aunt Lian taught was naturally the arithmetic of Qi State, which is the simplest numbers, and then there will be addition and subtraction. Yang Haiyan felt that this was enough for Qin Siya. She would not teach multiplication and division that are not of this era, just like she would not teach pinyin that is not of this era. After
Qin Siya finished speaking, she looked at Yang Haiyan with expectation.
Yang Haiyan naturally knew what she was thinking: "Sister-in-law promised you before that if you remember ten words, you will be rewarded with one penny, right?"
Qin Siya nodded: "Yes." With one penny, she can save it, save it one penny at a time, and then buy something she likes. Like Hua Ling in the village, she has a beautiful bracelet, which she also likes, but her family has no money.
Hua Ling is the daughter of a hunter in the village.
Yang Haiyan said: "Then my sister-in-law asks you, you remember ten words now, will you still remember these ten words tomorrow? Will you still remember these ten words the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Can you guarantee that you will always remember these ten words?"
Qin Siya is only nine years old. She has three older sisters and four older brothers. As the youngest girl in the family, even if the Qin family is poor, she is not really needed for washing clothes, cooking and doing rough work. So in terms of personality, she is a bit lively and naive. Children who grow up without worries are naturally naive. Yang Haiyan said tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and she didn't quite understand.
Yang Haiyan said: "Now you have memorized ten words, and your sister-in-law rewards you with a penny. Then tomorrow you forget these ten words, or the day after tomorrow you forget these ten words again. Does that mean you didn't remember these ten words?"
Qin Siya thought about it and thought that if you forget, it doesn't count as memorizing. This is not wrong.
Yang Haiyan continued: "If it doesn't count as memorizing, then your sister-in-law rewards you with a penny now, so shouldn't she also reward you?"
Qin Siya was about to cry, it seemed like this! Oh..." Then what, she didn't know.
Yang Haiyan smiled: "Then let's make an agreement, how about taking the test every three days?"
Qin Siya was puzzled: "What do you mean by taking the test every three days? "
Yang Haiyan said: "I will test you in three days. If you still remember the words you learned in these three days, then you will be considered to have remembered them. Ten words a day, that is thirty words in three days. If you remember them all, you will be rewarded with three cents."
Qin Siya's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Really?"
Yang Haiyan: "Of course it is true, so you have to work hard and don't forget it in three days."
Qin Siya held the book: "I will work hard."
At noon, Qin Shoucheng came back from school, and he came back with Kun Daying.
Seeing Qin Shoucheng coming back, Yang Haiyan asked Nanny Lian to serve dinner: "Shoucheng, how did you study in the private school this morning? "
Qin Shoucheng answered respectfully: "There are ten students in our class in the private school. The teacher taught us... The teacher also assigned homework, which should be handed in when we go to the private school tomorrow."
Yang Haiyan nodded and said: "Then take a half-hour nap after lunch, and then get up to do your homework. After finishing it, it's your free time. Today, the private guards followed your eldest brother to hunt, so there is no need to practice martial arts in the afternoon."
Qin Shoucheng said, "Yes." He was very grateful to his eldest sister-in-law, who gave him the opportunity to continue his studies, so he respected her very much. It can be said that he respected his eldest sister-in-law more than his eldest brother.
Then, Qin Shoucheng and Qin Siya returned to the east chamber, and Yang Haiyan asked someone to call Uncle Hong: "How is the land?"
Uncle Hong said, "We have only bought five acres at present, because my wife wants to connect all ten acres together, but the landowner next to the five acres does not want to sell it."
Yang Haiyan wanted to connect all ten acres together, which is also convenient for management. When the ten acres are fenced off, people outside cannot enter. But for a while, it is indeed difficult to buy ten acres of land connected together. After all, land is the life of ordinary people, and many ordinary people are reluctant to sell it.
Yang Haiyan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's deal with the five mu of land first. Is the house next to the land under construction?"
Uncle Hong said, "I just came back from the fields. There are enough villagers to build houses, so it can be built in two days. According to your instructions, it is built according to our servants' courtyard, with a total of two courtyards." Each courtyard cost about ten taels of silver.
Yang Haiyan nodded and said, "You can hire someone to plant the land. These are vegetable seeds and fruit seedlings. These seeds and fruit seedlings are not cheap. Ask them to be careful when planting. There are serial numbers in these bags. Different serial numbers have different seeds. The same seeds should be planted together. These fruit tree seedlings are tied with cloth. The same color of cloth is the same kind of fruit tree seedlings. Fruit seedlings and vegetable seeds should be planted separately. As for how to plant, you can find some old farmers who are familiar with the land." Because Yang Haiyan herself didn't know.
Uncle Hong picked up the basket and said, "Yes." There were a lot of seeds and fruit tree seedlings in the basket. In fact, after returning home, Yang Haiyan secretly put a lot of fruit tree seedlings in, because she couldn't carry too many on the street. However, the seedlings she bought were very, very small, about the thickness of two fingers, otherwise a large seedling would not fit into the basket even if there was only one.
The seedlings she prepared included apple seedlings and pear seedlings, and the fruit and vegetable seeds included cauliflower seeds, broccoli seeds, tomato seeds, and watermelon seeds. When it was early April, when the county market was open, she would go shopping again and then "buy" some more seeds to store. If this batch of seeds died, there would be another batch. Anyway, she had to prepare enough seeds and let the old farmers grow these things.
Walking out of the main courtyard, Uncle Hong carried a basket full of things. Fortunately, Uncle Hong was a local, and he was very fast in buying land and hiring people. In addition, he had Qianfu's backing, which made it easier for him to do things.
It must be said that it was a good decision to buy Uncle Hong.
Qin Fang brought five private guards and hunted two wild boars. When the two big wild boars were dragged into the family room, many people saw it.
"Qin Qianfu is really amazing. He hunted two wild boars today and hunted some more the day before yesterday. Mrs. Qin is so happy."
"If you ask me, it's a pity that Qin Qianfu and Mrs. Qin are married. Mrs. Qin is a spendthrift woman and knows how to spend money."
"Who are you talking about? Mrs. Qin's snack shop has a very good business. She knows how to spend money, and she spends her own money."
"What? Then she married Qin Qianfu, so isn't the money she earns also the Qin family's money?"
Mrs. Lu went out to fetch water and heard those women talking nonsense.
