The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chen Fan moved quickly and helped Boss Zhou catch the silver. He opened it and found that it was just the right amount, so he handed it to Boss Zhou.

The only thing left is the problem of the rope. The rope does not belong only to his Zhou family, he has to take it back to his neighbor.

For a large restaurant, it would not be a problem to take out a few ropes.

After changing the ropes, Boss Zhou took everyone's ropes and threw them into the car.

After selling the wild boar, everyone understood the idea and climbed onto the ox cart while talking and laughing. Boss Zhou put the money away and took everyone to the street to eat first.

"Second Uncle, you acted so well just now that I was almost fooled." Zhou Laosan sat next to Zhou Tiezhu, recalling what had just happened.

"Hahaha, this shopkeeper is cunning. First he shortchanged us, then he tried to lower the price. He didn't look down on us peasants at all. If the price was 110, he would have let us pay less. He actually dared to play tricks in secret. Fortunately, the diners were watching, otherwise he wouldn't have given in no matter how I acted."

"If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, I wouldn't have sold it to him. If we had taken it to the county town, I don't know how many people would have been vying for it. It would definitely have been able to sell for ten taels of silver."

Zhou Tiezhu tapped the pipe in his hand and cursed the shopkeeper in his heart, calling him a cunning and treacherous guy.

"Uncle, if it weren't for you, I would have nodded just now. I'll cook some delicious dishes at home tomorrow and we can have a few more drinks."

Boss Zhou had already thought about what dishes to prepare, and they took Butcher Yang with them to a wonton stand on the street, where each of them ordered a large bowl of wontons.

"Shouren, don't call me. I don't want to eat. I just ate at home and I'm not hungry at all." Butcher Yang quickly refused.

"You have to eat at least two bites. If you can't finish a big bowl, then eat a small bowl."

Boss Zhou ordered five bowls of large wontons and one bowl of small wontons, which cost seventy cents in total.

All the change from selling the wild boar was spent in no time. Boss Zhou's mouth twitched. The wontons were so hot to eat.

After eating and drinking, the group of people rode the ox cart back home.

Fortunately, the moon is nice tonight, so I can see the road ahead clearly even without a torch.

After dinner, Zhou Mingshu gave the silk thread he had prepared early in the morning to Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi.

It was getting late today, so Zhou Mingqin put it into the frame without looking at it carefully. She just felt that the silk thread was a little bright and had a soft touch, similar to the golden and silver silk threads before.

After washing up in the night, the girls and boys went back to the house to rest.

Old Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Zhou were sitting at the door with large palm-leaf fans, waiting for people.

Liu was going in and out of the kitchen with a small oil lamp. There was some soup and a few steamed buns warming in the bottom of the washed pot.

In case a few people didn’t get to eat in town, at least they could have a couple of hot bites when they got home.

Since she lit the oil lamp, Zhou Mingshu didn't want to go to bed so early. She leaned on the pillow, crossed her legs and read comics on the bed. This was a rare interesting activity in this era, and she read it with gusto.

After finishing reading the two comic books, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San returned home, and noises could be heard in the yard.

"Mom, we're back." Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San saw someone running towards the door excitedly.

When Mrs. Zhou saw the two men coming back empty-handed, she knew the wild boar had been sold.

"How is it? Is it sold?" Old Mrs. Zhou asked again uncertainly.

"Yes, it was sold. It was sold for a price you would never expect."

The person walking slowly behind me was Zhou Tiezhu. It was dark and I couldn't see him clearly, but the light from the pipe in his hand flickered, and I could tell it was him.

"His second uncle, come in and sit down." Old Mrs. Zhou led everyone to sit down and asked her daughter-in-law to prepare food for them.

"Sister-in-law, why are you talking to Xiaolian so late at night? We have eaten on the street. I have never eaten wontons at my age. I am lucky this time. I am still full now." Zhou Tiezhu smiled naively.

"It's good that you're full. We left some food in the pot for you in case you didn't have time to eat."

Boss Zhou handed over the purse. The heavy weight fell into his hands, and Mrs. Zhou's expression froze.

"My goodness, it's quite heavy."

I made an appointment with Zhou Tiezhu to come to my house for a drink tomorrow night, so I let him go home.

Zhou Laosan bolted the door and followed him into the main room.

Old Mrs. Zhou untied her purse, and the silver coins fell onto the table with a few clinking sounds, emitting a dazzling light under the illumination of the oil lamp.

"Mom, I sold a total of nine taels, and I still have seventy-two copper coins left, but it cost seventy cents to treat everyone to dinner." Boss Zhou took out the copper coins that he had given to him before leaving and put them on the table.

"You spendthrift, you spent seventy cents on a meal. You can buy two pounds of meat with this much money. Why did you buy wontons? Each bite costs one cent. Do you think you are really rich..." Liu pulled his sleeve and scolded him, saying that the head of the family is so heartless and does not know how to save money at all.

"Oh, buying two sesame cakes is so shabby and not enough to fill you up. They have helped our family so much, so what's wrong with eating two bowls of wontons?" Boss Zhou felt a little aggrieved when his wife pinched him.

"It's okay, Xiaolian. This is nothing. It's the boss's turn to treat us. We still have to go to the street to buy wine and meat tomorrow. We can invite all the villagers who can help to come over for dinner."

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Mrs. Liu's expression eased a little. It was true that she felt sorry for the money, but it wasn't that she didn't let them eat. She felt that spending seventy cents at once was too much. It was San Ya who discovered the wild boar, and the second son didn't go with her to sell it, and he didn't even get to drink a sip of the soup, but she wasn't afraid that the second son's family would have any opinions.

Old Mrs. Zhou took out all the money from the piggy bank and piled them together. The silver light almost blinded their eyes. They had never seen so much silver before.

"All this silver was earned from San Ya's ointment, this pile was earned from selling wild boars, and these broken copper coins were earned by the second and third brothers. This large pile can not only pay off our foreign debt, but also leave a lot. A few days ago, San Ya said she wanted to buy a donkey. To be honest, I was also tempted. Tomorrow morning, the second and third brothers, you two will come with me to pay off the remaining debt first, and then send the other person's rope. We must treat those who need to be treated. Lao Da and Xiao Lian, you go to the town to buy wine and meat, and we will prepare the wine and food when you come back."

After Mrs. Zhou made all the arrangements, she asked them to go back and wash up and rest, while she carefully counted the silver in front of her and made plans for what to do next.

Zhou Mingshu closed the comic book when he saw everyone coming out of Old Lady Zhou's room.

Zhou Laoer didn't go back to his room, but knocked on her door.

Zhou Mingshu put on his shoes and opened the door for him, "Dad~"

"My girl, I saw the light was still on in your room so I knew you were still awake. Your uncles are back. Do you know how much the wild boar was sold for? Nine taels, a full nine taels."

Zhou Laoer clapped his thigh happily and told her everything without leaving her any room for guessing.
