They are a family used to a life of luxury. Except for the old couple who are quite capable, the rest are useless. While breaking off a bamboo shoot, they felt thirsty, tired, had backaches, and were hungry. The old woman and Lai Di also had to urinate frequently. Bamboo shoots, which were available everywhere, suddenly became popular and were quickly picked by everyone. They could only rely on snatching, but they could never beat others. What they saw was snatched away by others before it even got to the ground. After a whole day, they were so tired that their backs and waists ached. After collecting the bamboo shoots, they were only left with half a sack, which weighed about 60 to 70 kilograms.
The old man didn't know about the battle results of other people outside and thought that these were already a lot. After all, one pound was worth one cent, and he could earn dozens of cents a day, so he was really satisfied.
"Old man, carry it to the next door and sell it."
"Ai!"
Mr. Zhao felt very unhappy. He passed by Liu Shunzi's house and looked at the number of bamboo shoots sold by other families. His family is no smaller than other families, but its number is much smaller than theirs.
They all spent the same day picking bamboo shoots, and there were just as many people, but why did others have 100 or 200 coins, or even 200 or 300 coins, while they only had a few dozen coins? He is feeling extremely unbalanced now. If the third brother’s family were here, they would definitely make the most money from sales in the entire village!
Dad is so confused, can’t we divide the family business after a while?
Liu Shunzi looked at Mr. Zhao sharply. He didn't want to pay attention to him and refused to accept the bamboo shoots from his family. The village chief gave him a look, saying that now was not the time to cause trouble and they were too busy.
Okay, just take it. He looked at the bamboo shoots he brought with disdain. The amount was about the same as what Old Man Qian and his grandson brought in the village. The old man can't even walk, and the child is only eleven years old. Haha, without Zhao Laosan, the whole family is useless!
"Sixty-three coins, that's good!"
Mr. Zhao looked at the people queuing behind him and felt ashamed, so he took the copper coins and ran away.
"Today, every family in the village really made a small fortune!"
"Yes, Village Chief, this is your home!"
The village chief laughed when he heard this. "Thanks to you! But, with so many bamboo shoots, are you sure it's okay?"
"It's okay. It's just today. It will be difficult for everyone to make so much money tomorrow. All the bamboo shoots have been picked." When he collected them, he saw clearly that these crazy people did not even let go of the small bamboo shoots. He emphasized that we should not keep such small ones in the future, otherwise, the bamboo shoots would never grow up.
"That's right." The village chief nodded. It was difficult for the Tian family to produce even a few dozen kilograms. I heard that all the bamboos in the forest had been plucked out.
Their family would not break up in the village forever. He knew that there were two large bamboo forests near the county town. Every day, they go there to break it. Don't blame them for telling everyone that there are ways to make money. There is money to be made as long as there are bamboo shoots. Everyone in the village knows where there are bamboo shoots. I didn't think about it, who can I blame?
The Liu and Zhao families worked hard until late at night before they rested. "Girl, do we have enough money for so many bamboo shoots?"
Zhao Xiaoyu also felt that he was careless and should have paid one penny for two kilograms. "It should be enough. Keep it for now. Go to bed early. You still have to go to the county town to deliver goods tomorrow."
"Hey! It's this incident today that makes me feel uncomfortable. Your uncle Liu and aunt Liu are the ones who earn the least, and so is the village chief."
