Chapter 76

After getting the money, Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang wanted to look at cotton, cloth and various seeds. As for the remaining pile of yam, they decided to take it back, wash it, cut it, dry it, and bring it to the pharmacy as Dr. Zheng said.

Man Bao felt that it was too much trouble. Since the shopkeeper's uncle said that big families would use it for medicinal meals, she took the fifth and sixth brothers to go to the county office.

He also waved with Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang, "Big brother, second brother, you go shopping slowly, don't worry about us."

Zhou Dalang knew that Lao Wu and Lao Liu were familiar with them in the county, so he didn't worry about them, and told them to watch a few small stools and Tuesday Lang leave.

Man Bao insisted on leaving the trolley and yam, and curiously followed Wu Wulang to the county government office.

She has never been to the county government office yet, so she insisted not to go to the back corner gate of Fu's house, but must Wu Lang push her to the main gate of the county government office first.

To be honest, Wu Wulang has never been close to the county government office. He used to come to Miss Fu Er to sell candy, but he turned directly to the back corner door.

There are two yamen guards on both sides of the gate of the county government office, and there is a high stone wall on the side of the county government office, on which a lot of announcements are densely posted.

Since entering school, Man Bao has been studying for a long time when he sees a word outside, not to mention that he still sees so many words.

So she ignored the fifth brother's obstruction, climbed off the scooter and ran up to see it.

The two yamen guarding the door turned their heads to look at them, and Wuwu Lang bit his head to catch up and whispered: "Manbao, little ancestor, let's go home and play, aren't you going to find Miss Fu Er?"

Man Bao ignored him, stood on tiptoe to read the announcement posted on the stone wall, and read word by word: "Dazhen five years of winter service, from October 22 to November 21, a total of 30 days. , it is necessary to build two water conservancy projects in Baima Town, and level the Guoguan Road from the town to the county..."

Man Bao thought about it and felt that something was wrong, he snapped his fingers and said, "Isn't it October next month?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Wuwu Lang obviously didn't understand very well.

Man Bao pointed to the last line of words and said: "One household and one small, there must be no mistake, we are about to serve."

Friday Lang stayed for a while, glanced at the announcement, picked up Man Bao and left.

Man Bao lay on his shoulders and waved goodbye to the two yamen who were curiously looking over at the door, and chatted with her fifth brother, "Fifth brother, who is going to serve in our family?"

Friday Lang muttered: "According to the rules, it's the third brother's turn this year."

On Saturday, Lang was guarding the scooter, and he didn't know what they said on Shibi's side. Seeing that Fifth Brother's face was not good, he asked Manbao in a low voice, "Have you made Fifth Brother angry?"

"I don't have it," Man Bao said in disbelief, "I'm so good!"

On Saturday, Lang stopped talking, and silently pushed the trolley to the back corner door of the house behind the county government office.

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang came every day a while ago. During this time, they came every so often. The servants at the corner door had gotten to know them well.

Saturday Lang skillfully stuffed him with a few candies, so after a while, a girl came out with a purse.

When she saw Man Bao, she giggled and said, "Why did the little lady of the Zhou family come in person this time?"

Man Bao looked at her curiously, and the little girl smiled and said, "Little lady doesn't remember me? When I bought the flower basket, I was in the car with my young lady. My name is Qiuyue."

Man Bao immediately asked, "Is there another sister named Chunhua?"

Qiuyue couldn't help laughing and bent over, and said, "You're right, there is another sister Chunhua in our young lady's courtyard. What candy did you bring this time? Let's talk about it first, we don't want it if it doesn't taste good. ."

Wu Wulang smiled and stuffed one for her, whispering: "It's delicious, it's different from the last one, it's a new arrival."

Qiuyue ate it in her mouth and asked, "Is there any other place?"

"No, I'll come to your house first when I get it. I think that the second lady is a regular customer, and she is generous. You can eat it for others only after the second lady has eaten it."

It's no surprise that Saturday Lang's slick tongue at Fifth Brother, but Da Tou and Da Ya are looking at him with admiration, and feel that Fifth Uncle's ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense is very powerful.

Man Bao had a face of approval, and held a yam to show Qiuyue, "If we have any good things, we must think of Second Sister Fu first, after all, we are customers with others, but not with Second Sister Fu. Look, this is a yam that my family dug up a very high mountain, do you know what a yam is?"

The little girl shook her head, she didn't know.

Luojiang County is not rich. For something like yam, which is purely wild, it depends on luck. After it is dug up, whether the Fu family can buy it depends on luck. How does the little girl know?

Man Bao learned to sell it now, and told her that yam is a food that can be used as medicine, a medicine that can be used as a food.

If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor. Anyway, shopkeeper Zheng of Ji Shitang said yes, so why don't you have one from your family?

The little girl Qiuyue didn't even have time to buy the candy, so she was stuffed with two candies and a yam.

She came back to her senses when she walked back to the yard. She wanted to leave, but Chunhua happened to see it, so she could only go in with a blushing face and report to the young lady.

Man Bao and the fifth and sixth brothers squatted outside the corner door and waited.

Friday Lang said to her, "I should wait until she buys sugar before recommending yam."

"How can the value of sugar be compared to yam, fifth brother, do the math, a hundred pieces of sugar cost 100 cents, and a pound of yam costs 20 cents."

Friday Lang said: "One pound is the price of drying."

Man Bao said: "Aren't they all about the same?"

"It's a long way off. Look at Centella asiatica. We pulled a yard. When it was born, a handful was a pound, but when it was dried, it didn't weigh two or two. Do you think it can be the same?"

Friday Lang was planning to discuss theories with his sister carefully when suddenly the corner door opened, and a lady in an apron walked out with a stern face and asked, "Who said there are yam for sale?"

"I, I!" Man Bao immediately raised his little hand and asked her to look at the yam on the trolley.

The lady glanced at her, then lowered her head to look at the yam, and found that it was similar in quality to the one that Qiuyue brought to the kitchen, so she nodded and said, "Okay, we all have it."

Man Bao said: "I want to keep one."

The lady frowned and looked at Wuwu Lang, "Since we have all of our family, then you can't sell it to others, right?"

Friday Lang lowered his head to coax Man Bao.

Man Bao said: "I want to eat it for my mother. I bought meat and stewed it together, and my mother can eat it and be healthy."

Wu Wulang immediately bent over to his wife and smiled ingratiatingly: "Miss, my mother is not in good health, and my sister misses my mother. If you don't think so, the one you just took in Qiuyue is a free gift from us. , we'll keep one here and sell the rest to you, okay?"

The lady unexpectedly glanced at Man Bao, but she did not pursue it, as long as it was not sold to another family. So she nodded and asked, "How much?"

Man Bao blinked at her, "Twenty cents a pound."

The lady didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "Okay."

Wu Wulang and the others opened their mouths wide, how did they get paid for it?
