When Qiao Chao told Song Tiesheng what Zhen Yue said, Song Tiesheng looked at Qiao Chao and the others in a more friendly manner. "Brother Qiao, I will definitely tell our wife what you said. And the leeks you gave me yesterday, I didn't eat them, but..." Song Tiesheng whispered to Qiao Chao, "I sent it to the kitchen, and it seems that I cooked it for the master."

Qiao Chao took out a few coins and stuffed them into Song Tiesheng's pockets. "Brother Tiesheng, thank you. If the Song family also accepts our leeks, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Song Tiesheng: "No, no, you used to give me things often, but does leek really have that effect?"

Qiao Chao: "Yes, but you need to eat more. I'll bring you another handful next time."

Song Tiesheng: "Okay, it's settled."

In total, they earned more than 400 coins from more than 100 pounds of radishes. Although it was not as much as what they earned from hunting prey, prey was not available often, and they could still grow vegetables.

After leaving the Song Mansion, Qiao Er asked Qiao Chao: "Brother, will all the radishes in our family be brought to the Song Mansion in the future?"

Qiao Chao shook his head. "It depends on what the Song family says next time we come. If Brother Tiesheng tells us to send radishes to them regularly next time, then it will be fine."

Qiao Er: "Well, I understand."

Qiao Chao: "Your sister-in-law said that we should buy some meat with the money from the sale today. Let's go."

After returning home, Qiao Chao handed the remaining three hundred coins to Zhen Yue, "I sold it for more than four hundred coins, and used some to buy some meat and two large bones."

Zhen Yue counted out the money and gave Qiao Chao and Qiao Er ten coins each. "You have worked hard, too. It's just right that we will stew bones with radishes and cut some leeks and scramble eggs tonight. By the way, the leeks behind the house are growing well. Cut them tomorrow and take them to the county town to set up a stall and sell them. I will make a sign for you."

Qiao Er looked at the ten cents Zhen Yue gave him and waved his hand, "I don't need it, just give it to mom."

Zhen Yue: "Everyone still needs money in their hands, and they also need money when they go out."

Zhen Yue gave herself 50 cents and gave 10 cents to Qian, and the rest was given to Qiao Chen.

Qian was very surprised, "Me too?"

Zhen Yue: "You cook at home, take care of the kids, and do the laundry, and that's all work, of course."

Qian took it happily. She never thought that cooking and taking care of children at home could actually be rewarded.

Mrs. Qiao Chen took the remaining money and put it away. "Tomorrow morning, your father and I will get up early to help you cut the leeks. You can sell them when you get up."

Qian: "Then I'll go make some food early so you can eat first."

When Qiao San came home in the evening, Zhen Yue was sitting in the yard with little Ah Chu in her arms. When she saw Qiao San coming back, Zhen Yue waved at him. Qiao San came over in confusion, "Sister-in-law?"

Zhen Yue stood up and handed the child to Qiao Chao, who was chewing a piece of radish, and said, "Go to your room."

Qiao San: ???

Qiao Chao: ???

Zhen Yue took two steps and saw that Qiao San didn't move. "What are you standing there for? Come here! Help me write a few words."

Qiao San breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be writing.

Qiao Chao also remembered what Zhen Yue said when she came back before, about helping them make a sign. Zhen Yue took out a piece of wood and went to Qiao San's room. Qiao Chao followed her, holding the child in his arms.

"Write on it: Aphrodisiac chives, five cents a pound."

"Ah?" Qiao San was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his ears turned red, and the hand holding the brush trembled.

Zhen Yue saw him dithering and said, "Write quickly? Aren't these words simple?"

Qiao Chao: "How about I write it? I just learned it a while ago."

Qiao San quickly handed the pen to Qiao Chao, then took over little Achu, "Brother, you write." However, he forgot that Qiao San had only taught the word "Yang" and had not taught the rest.

Qiao Chao took the brush, dipped it in ink, took a deep breath, and wrote each stroke neatly, horizontally and vertically. However, each stroke was done very well. It looked a little awkward, half childish and half elegant.

Zhen Yue glanced at it, then looked at Qiao Chao, and she was pretending quite well.

Qiao San praised him, "Brother, you write really well."

Qiao Chao: "Really? I usually practice with a wooden stick."

Qiao San: "Brother, you are amazing. You are so good at self-study."

Zhen Yue: Haha.

After the ink dried, Zhen Yue threw the sign to Qiao Chao: "You and Qiao Er will put the sign aside tomorrow. Oh, remember to shout."

Qiao Chao's face froze: "Shout?" Ask him to shout "aphrodisiac leeks"? This... is so embarrassing!

Zhen Yue: "Not everyone can read, so of course we have to shout."

Qiao Chao put his hands down and lowered his head, "I don't want to shout."

Zhen Yue: "Then let Qiao Er shout. Anyway, one of you two must shout."

Qiao Chao: "Then I'll let Qiao Er shout."

Zhen Yue: "Anyway, just discuss it." Zhen Yue picked up little A Chuyi and left.

Qiao San and Qiao Chao looked at each other. Qiao San said, "Brother, what are you doing? I think you are going to sell leeks?"

Qiao Chao: "Third brother, are you going to the Master's place tomorrow?"

Qiao San shook his head: "Take a day off tomorrow, the teacher has something to do."

Qiao Chao: "It just so happens that you can go with us."

"what?"

In the evening, when Mrs. Qiao heard Zhen Yue say that the leeks were sold for three cents a pound, she hesitated and said, "Isn't three cents too expensive? It seems that I could buy a bunch for one cent in the town before."

Zhen Yue: "My leeks are long and good, and don't you think they taste much better than other leeks after eating them these past two days? I'll sell them for three cents."

Qiao Chenshi: "What if it can't be sold?"

Zhen Yue: "Let's talk about it after it fails to sell. By the way, remember to go door to door and shout first. It's best to go to those areas with better houses." In fact, the customers she wants to sell to are not ordinary people. Ordinary villagers grow vegetables at home and will not spend three cents to buy a leek just to eat better.

For those people, they hope to buy suitable things at the cheapest price. It is already very good if the whole family can have enough food. Only those who have some money at home will think about buying something new and better to eat.

When the world is not going well like this, the rich will become even richer, and the poor will become poorer. It can be said that the polarization is particularly severe.

"Or, you can go ask those restaurants." Zhen Yue glanced at Qiao Chao.

Qiao Chao: "Okay. I'll go to the Song Mansion first." He knew what she meant.

"Ah."

Early the next morning, Qiao Chen and Qiao Dashan got up. They took a small knife and cut leeks behind the house and put them in a basket.

"Boss, our chives are growing really well."

Qiao Dashan: "I don't know how the old family grows them, they grow so fast." He has been dealing with fields all his life, but the radishes and leeks he grows are not as good as Zhen's.

He had only planted leeks a few times, but he planted radishes almost every year. However, they were all small and lacked moisture, so no one wanted to buy them. He could only make some pickled radishes at home.
