Farming and reading family

When Chen Jie heard his second sister-in-law ask this, he immediately shut up.

Peng Can looked tall and strong and a bit stupid, but he was very familiar with the managers of those wealthy families. He felt that he did not have the ability to do it for the time being.

Gao E smiled and said, "As I said before, just earn what you deserve. He is fair, and we are also fair."

Chen Jie was a little unwilling, but still nodded.

Chen Hanyue thought for a long time: "I think that Peng Can is not simple."

Gao E smiled and said, "As long as he has no intention of harming anyone, that's fine."

Chen Hanyue nodded.

They came back earlier than expected today and were able to make it for lunch, but Chen Ke didn't know how to cook. When Gao E got home, she saw Chen Yuning limping and cooking with Chen Duokui.

Chen Ke also wanted to help, but he didn't even know how to light a fire.

Gao E was speechless when she saw Chen Ke like this, but when she thought that he was reborn, she realized that he had many advantages that belonged to this era.

As for whether Chen Ke will confess this to her, we will talk about it later.

"You're back so early?" Chen Ke knew that doing business was not easy.

Chen Jie tied up the horse and came over: "Second sister-in-law is amazing. The pork sold very quickly today, and we even met someone who was willing to buy our wild boars at a high price."

Chen Ke laughed dryly.

"Then I'll go back first." Chen Jie said and left.

"Wait until your sister-in-law and your wife come back, come up together and we'll divide today's money." Gao E reminded.

"Okay." Chen Jie was not polite.

Watching Chen Jie leave, Gao E signaled Chen Ke to go to the third cave with her.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ke asked cautiously.

In fact, Gao E has always been very strong, and Chen Ke has no grudge against Gao E's ability.

"I heard that someone in He County is buying crickets at a high price." Gao E said happily, "Do you think your crickets are worth a lot of money?"

Chen Ke couldn't help but show ecstasy on his face, but then hurriedly restrained himself: "Is there such a good thing?"

Gao E noticed his transformation and confirmed that Chen Ke was reborn: "It seems that it is good for my husband to read more. He will encounter more good things than others."

This compliment was very effective on Chen Ke: "Madam, please ask the price."

"I didn't ask for specifics. I just said that as long as the conditions are met, any one of them will cost three or five taels." Gao E said uncertainly.

This is much lower than what Chen Ke knew in his previous life, but three or five taels is already a lot. You know, Chen Ke now has dozens of high-quality crickets.

"Then let's go to the city tomorrow to confirm it." Chen Ke suggested.

Gao E nodded: "Okay."

The matter was settled. Gao E thought that even if not every one of them could be sold at such a high price, it would still be a windfall for their family.

In the afternoon, Gao E began to smoke the pickled meat, and the yard was filled with smoke again.

Chen Qing and his friends came after dinner, and Yang also brought a bag of dried mushrooms.

"My mother said that there is nothing good at home. This is picked by ourselves. Please don't dislike it, my second brother and sister-in-law." Yang said embarrassedly.

"How could I dislike it?" Gao E looked at the small bag of clean mushrooms. These were all top-quality wild mushrooms.

"If you like, I'll pick some fresh ones for you later." Yang thought she didn't have anything to offer.

Gao E was surprised: "Are there many on the mountain?"

"Not a lot, but by this time, the cover has become flowery and thicker," Yang explained.

Gao E thought, isn’t that high-quality flower mushroom?

"It's not dangerous to pick them, so you can pick some and bring them back. They will be delicious when stewed with meat." Gao E thought it was okay.

The villagers also eat these, but not much. If there is more, they sell it in the city for silver.

Although it tastes very fragrant, it is just bland if you eat too much salt.

After saying this, Gao E took out all the silver she had collected today.

"I've counted it. It's three taels, one qian, and twelve wen." Gao E took out all the money and "divide it equally."

"My family only needs one or two ounces." Chen Qing said directly.

He earned this money by doing the same thing, so he didn't care about the small change.

"What I mean is..." Chen Jie looked around, "Let's not divide the money for now."

Everyone looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie explained with a smile: "We can spend this money individually after we divide it up. If we put it together, we'll have some capital if we need to do something."

Chen Qing thought about it and said: "I am short-sighted."

"Then..." Gao E thought it wouldn't be a big deal to put everything here. "We can each take 200 coins first, and put the rest here. We'll make a record later."

"That's good." Chen Jie nodded immediately.

"Then the leftovers are not so clearly divided every time. We don't know how to cook, so we just let my second sister-in-law tell us how to cook and we help. Anyway, no one in the family will go hungry." Lei said with a smile.

Yang nodded, she felt that she was the most useless.

"Okay." Gao E nodded. "My husband and I have something to do in the city tomorrow, so I bought an account book."

After discussing this, Chen Qing left with them. Gao E took a box and locked up the remaining money.

She looked around and found that there was no safe place in the house. Although there were a few cabinets, the locks on them could not stop anything.

After much thought, I think the best way is to make a hole in the ground or wall, but it will make too much noise.

Because he was thinking about selling crickets, Chen Ke woke up early in the morning. After breakfast, the couple set out for the city.

They only brought three crickets, and they would let the other party take a look at them and then negotiate the price.

It was windy today, and the hay and straw on the ridges of the fields looked a little desolate. Chen Ke shrank his neck and suddenly thought of the desolation of his previous life.

"If I can sell it for a good price this time, I'll make two more sets of clothes for the children for the winter." Chen Ke said suddenly.

"Then we need to buy some cotton." Gao E thought that we must wear cotton clothes in winter.

Chen Ke was silent for a while, thinking that cotton was too expensive: "Okay."

It was already dawn when Fan Shiping got up. There was rice porridge, fried cakes and a few side dishes on the table. He ate a few bites and then put down his chopsticks.

"Do you still have the braised food from yesterday?" Fan Shiping suddenly asked.

"Master Lu and his friends had a good meal and a drink last night." The little maid said timidly.

Hearing that Lu Hongliang and the others had finished eating it, Fan Shiping didn't know what to say.

He relied on Lu Hongliang's protection to get here from the capital, and they had a good relationship.

But I haven’t collected enough crickets yet, so I’m afraid this trip will be in vain.

He opened a shop selling antiques in the capital and also helped the powerful and wealthy to find some rare items. Nowadays, those young men were obsessed with cricket fighting and even organized cricket clubs. If the crickets he found could help those children of the powerful and wealthy win, there would be unimaginable benefits in the future.

But it's getting colder day by day, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find crickets in a while.

"Forget it." Fan Shiping thought that if he really couldn't receive it, he would return to Beijing to avoid missing anything else.

At this time, Lu Hongliang staggered over, sat down on the drum stool, and looked at the table full of vegetarian dishes with some disgust.

"Where did you buy the braised food yesterday? I'll go buy some more." Lu Hongliang said with the taste of a hangover still in his mouth.
