Chapter 78

Man Bao hugged her elder brother's neck and said, "Brother, we made a lot of money today."

Zhou Dalang remembered the money he had just bought for cotton and fabrics, and his face was a little bitter, "It's also a lot."

"We made 500 yuan selling yam."

Zhou Dalang was stunned, and quickly asked, "Who did you sell to?"

"Sold it to the magistrate's family," Wu Zhou Lang quickly took out the part of the money he had collected and handed it in, saying, "Twenty cents a catty, a total of more than twenty-five catties, and Man Bao spared the extra money. They did, and they sent an extra yam."

Zhou Dalang frowned and said, "Isn't this a scam? It's only twenty wen."

Wu Wulang lowered his head and whispered, "The county magistrate has charged us for entering the city."

Man Bao agreed, but she couldn't tell her elder brother like that, so she whispered, "Brother, raw yam is a rarity, and we still sell it cheap."

After briefly summarizing what Keke said and telling him to listen to him, Zhou Dalang was stunned. He didn't expect the price of the medicinal materials to be so different when they came in and out. Dried yam, one penny for every dollar?"

Man Bao nodded, Keke would not lie to her.

Zhou Dalang only felt his heart beating wildly, and he murmured, "My darling, how much is that pound?"

He couldn't figure it out anyway.

Man Bao said: "It's only one hundred and sixty wen."

Zhou Dalang felt extremely painful.

Seeing that he didn't feel the pain enough, Man Bao continued: "There is privet in the medicine that my mother caught. I have seen the prescription. The medicine that my mother caught in the county town has eight flavors, and it costs twenty cents, while the medicine that my mother took in the county town costs 20 cents. Sadako is three coins, and I heard that the most expensive thing in my mother's medicine is Angelica."

Zhou Dalang calculated by himself, and felt that Privet should not be cheap, but he was only fifty cents per pound.

Zhou Dalang said: "Next time, let's dispense the medicine for my mother."

This idea has also been proposed by Manbao, and the elder sister-in-law also mentioned her at that time, so this time she also laughed at the elder brother mercilessly, "Our family only has one medicine, and other people's medicines are prepared one by one, how can there be any taste? Just bought it?"

Zhou Dalang remained silent.

Although Tuesday Lang was also a little uncomfortable, he thought about it and said: "People also rely on their ability to make money, didn't Manbao say it all, it will cost a lot of money to transport the medicinal materials, and take a lot of risks, not to mention others. The pharmacy is not allowed to have a doctor sitting in the hall?"

Tuesday Lang was a little envious, "This is the advantage of having the ability. My uncle was right before, everything in this world can be someone else's, and only the ability you have learned will always be yours."

Zhou Dalang nodded, then thought that it was wrong, and glared at him.

Man Bao has already asked curiously, "Second brother, which uncle is the uncle? What he said makes sense. After returning to the village, I will discuss it with him."

On Tuesday, Lang Qiang laughed and said, "You heard it wrong, it wasn't the uncle, it was the head of the riviera. That's a high-ranking official. You will see it from a distance in the future, you know?"

Man Bao muttered in dissatisfaction, "I'm not deaf, so I'm talking about my uncle."

But Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang didn't give her a chance to ask another question at all.

After walking a long way, Manbao remembered, "Big brother, second brother, I haven't bought you sesame cakes yet."

The brothers smiled and said, "We're not hungry, and the county town is not far from home. We'll be there soon after walking."

How could it not be far?

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang stuffed the unfinished dry food into the mouths of the two brothers. Forget it, let’s fill up some stomachs.

Be light on your way back.

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang are also sensible, taking turns helping two older brothers push the cart, Man Bao and four nieces and nephews sitting on the cart by turns, it is not particularly heavy.

It takes a lot of effort to go up the mountain.

Therefore, Man Bao always found various excuses to slide down the scooter and insisted on walking by himself.

Zhou Dalang's brothers felt that she was very sensible and knew that they felt sorry for them, but they also felt sorry for her, after all, she was young.

But I don't know how happy Man Bao is. All the way, she found a place with grass along the road, and asked Keke to scan the flowers and plants that were not recorded. Not to mention, she talked a lot along the way. Note that it was stuffed to Koko.

Everyone is used to Manbao's behavior of pulling flowers and weeds. This child has this problem since he was a child. When he walks on the road and sees an ugly flower, he has to go and pull it. Sometimes he insists on uprooting other flowers. , and then throw it away after playing in the hand for a while.

Several times, he slipped into other people's vegetable gardens and took the vegetables as grass, so Man Bao's fault is not just known to the Zhou family, it is well-known in the whole village.

So for her cheerfully going all the way to the woods on both sides of the road, grabbing a grass and pulling a branch in a while, everyone couldn't be more calm.

With that said, he went home.

Not only the Zhou brothers, but also Man Bao were hungry, so as soon as they came back, they went into the kitchen and clamored for Xiao Qian to make dinner.

Xiao Qian glanced at the sun that was just in the sky, and couldn't help but said, "How can I have dinner at this time? If my aunt is hungry, can I bake a cake for you?"

"And the big brother and the second brother."

Xiao Qian also felt sorry for them, but the family just sold two bags of grain not long ago, so they had to save some food.

In the room, after learning about the money earned today from Da Lang, Mrs. Qian raised his voice: "Since the children are hungry, let's cook the rice in a pot. If it's dry, cook a little more, and leave some for later. It’s enough to make porridge to fill the stomach, and I’ll eat dinner earlier today.”

The children cheered, and even Wu Lang was very attentive to help with the cooking.

Little Qian hurriedly drove out the boys and said, "Don't make trouble."

Let Da Ya and Er Ya go into the kitchen to help cook the fire.

Man Bao went to take out the mutton, and gave it to the little Qian family, "Sister-in-law, eat mutton today and stew it with yam."

"What is yam?"

Wu Wulang took out the yam and boasted about how powerful it was and how much money it made for them. It is said that this is medicine that only rich people can afford.

Xiao Qian's tongue was stunned, "It's a medicine that is three-point poisonous. Why do we still take medicine when we're not sick?"

"This is a medicine that can make ingredients," Man Bao said, "it's delicious."

Little Qian asked her, "Have you eaten?"

Man Bao shook his head with drooling saliva. At this moment, in her brain, Keke was naughty calling out several pictures of meals made of yam collected in the encyclopedia, all of which looked good, especially the chicken stewed with yam , looks delicious.

Seeing that Man Bao was drooling, Mrs. Qian couldn't help laughing, and while helping her wipe, she said happily, "You little thing, you don't lack anything to eat, why are you so greedy?"

However, she also agreed to take it and put it away, and asked how to do it. Knowing that it was enough to peel it and cut it into pieces and put it into stew, she patted her chest and said, "This is easy, my sister-in-law will make it for you in a while."
