【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

In this way, the work that could have been completed in one day took two days to finish. The yard of my own house was planted with spinach, the yard next door was planted with cabbage, and the last yard was planted with white radish and red radish.

After the winter vegetables are planted, it is the season for harvesting autumn fruits. All the mountain products that can be harvested must be harvested, such as red dates, walnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, etc.

This job is very hard. Yun Xi doesn't want to go up the mountain, but if she doesn't go, she will be called a fool by the tribe members for not even picking up the free food.

It seems that after experiencing the natural disaster, the tribesmen are particularly eager for food and don't want to waste anything. If it weren't for the danger in the mountains, they would probably go in to find food. They are really energetic.

Yun Xi, who didn't want to be called a fool, followed Shi Qiu into the mountains with tears in her eyes. What a sin.

After working diligently for more than ten days, it was already October. The tribesmen were preparing to go to Chengdu again to sell their recent harvest. After that, they would not go again and would wait until before the New Year.

I haven’t finished eating all the red dates from last year, and I harvested a lot this year. There are about 35 kilograms of them dried up, and I can’t finish them even if I eat them until my nose bleeds.

"I'll keep one pound of red dates from last year, five pounds of freshly dried ones, and sell the remaining thirty pounds. I've saved too many dried mushrooms to eat, so I'll sell them in ten-pound pieces. I've harvested so much fish and shrimp from the rice fields that I can't eat them all, so I'll sell twenty pounds and keep twenty pounds to eat later." Yun Xi put everything on the car and frowned at the full carriage. "When you think about it, I have a lot to sell."

"Mom, there are too many dried pumpkins, more than 80 kilograms, and we can't eat them all." Li Meizi felt heartburn when she saw the pumpkin and didn't like to eat it. She really didn't expect that pumpkins are so fond of bearing fruit. She didn't know where her mother bought the seeds from.

A Beijing grocery store owner: ??? The clown is actually me?

"Okay, keep 20 kilograms to eat slowly, and sell 60 kilograms. There are still 800 kilograms of pears that we got. I feel like three ox carts are a little insufficient. We also have bedding for three children. Let's tie up the roof."

Yun Xi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, there were not many walnuts and chestnuts, so she only gave some to Chunsheng and the others to eat, and kept the rest at home.

Li Daniu shouted from the front: "Sister-in-law, let's go, let's go."

This time all the cows and donkeys in the family were mobilized. She and Mei Zi each drove an ox cart, and Li Daniu helped drive one. The donkey cart was lent to Li Daniu for family use and driven by his eldest nephew Li Dashan. The poultry and pigs were left to his sister-in-law to help feed. Valuable items were all in the space disk, so there was no need to worry about losing things at home.

The convoy set off slowly. Other tribesmen also pushed carts to sell mountain products and grains. In addition to picking pears, other families also harvested peanuts, corn, beans, etc. This month, if they couldn't finish eating them, they would have to sell them. These were not as easy to store as grains.

Six days later, I arrived at the north gate of Chengdu again. After entering, I didn’t go anywhere else. I still found a clean place on the streets of the north city and started setting up a stall.

Time is short and the task is heavy.

Before I even called out, sharp-eyed customers had already arrived. An old lady came over with her granddaughter, asking, "Boss, how much is the cotton?"

Yun Xi said calmly, "Three hundred and eighty coins per jin."

"So cheap? Could it be old cotton?"

Seeing that the old lady was about to touch it, Yun Xi quickly stopped her, "Hey, don't touch it, this is all new cotton, please don't touch it, I'll show you."

Yun Xi washed her hands very clean, and whatever she pulled out of the sack was pure white, soft, and good cotton. "How is it, old lady? I didn't cheat you, did I? This cotton was just harvested this year. If the shop hadn't been so hard on the price, I wouldn't have set up a stall here."

The old lady seemed to have grasped a common topic and said indignantly, "That's right, the price in the shop has now risen to 420 wen per catty. They say it's going to be a cold winter this year, so the warehouses are raising prices. Your cotton is good, give me 10 catties. Last year, some people were reluctant to buy cotton, and many elderly people froze to death. If it's a cold winter this year, they really can't stand it."

Yun Xi echoed and weighed the cotton for the old lady, "Look, it's ten kilograms, more than enough."

"Okay, here is five taels of silver, weigh it." After checking the scale, the old lady found that it was indeed enough, so she paid with satisfaction.

The old lady took out a piece of cloth and asked Yun Xi to put cotton in it, then pressed it hard and tied it tightly around her chest. Yun Xi asked Mei Zi to weigh the silver, and it was indeed five taels of silver. She gave the other party one tael and one hundred coins in change, and picked up a pear and handed it to the drooling little girl.

The old lady looked down, smiled with satisfaction and left.

Once there's a chance, there's a second chance. Word of the cheap cotton spread like wildfire, and many people flocked to the stall. Yun Xi sat in front of the stall, firmly in control. Everyone came to her one by one. Did she think she could take advantage of the situation? Impossible!

Under her dominance, the crowd quickly formed into two lines. She and Mei Zi were responsible for one team each. From morning to noon, they sold all 4,000 kilograms of cotton and earned 1,520 taels of silver.

What a huge profit!

Just imagine that other people's families have to plant dozens of acres of land to produce 4,000 kilograms of cotton, and cotton seeds are not easy to buy. There are not many for sale in Rongcheng anyway. The seeds she sold to her clansmen were all traded in the system trading mall.

I sold all the other miscellaneous supplies in the afternoon and earned another 15 taels of silver. Unfortunately, the price of pears has dropped to eight cents per catty this year. Everything is falling in price, which is neither good nor bad for ordinary people.

"Brother, we probably won't be able to travel tonight. Mei Zi and I will stay at an inn, and you all can sleep in the big dormitory." Yun Xi suggested. Because they had too many things and sold them slowly, which resulted in everyone being unable to set off on time, they had to make some compensation so as not to let others suffer.

"Okay, it's a little cold at night."

The big bunk bed cost five cents per person per night, and one room could sleep more than twenty people. There happened to be twenty-five villagers coming, so Yun Xi and Mei Zi chose a lower-class room, which cost thirty cents per night and provided hot water, which was pretty good.

Li Daniu saw his brother and his wife had asked for another room and couldn't help but sigh, "People are really strange. In the wild, men and women sleeping together is nothing, but once they live together in a house, they are considered adulterers and promiscuous couples."

Patriarch Li looked up:???

What kind of tiger-wolf words are these, deep well ice!

After taking a bath, Yunxi and Meizi pulled the ox cart to find Chunsheng and the other two. Li Meizi looked at the city which was still prosperous at night and felt longing for it.

I couldn't help but say: "Mom, the city is so lively."

"Like it?"

"like!"

"If you like it, then make good money. It wouldn't be bad to live in the city and live off the rent."

Chen Xiucai's Qingfeng School had already let the children rest at this time. Yun Xi's arrival made the three children who had just woken up very happy.

"How are you adapting? Boss, can you understand the teacher's lectures?" Yun Xi handed over the quilt and helped to spread the quilt. "Is Yanran used to Xia Qing's food? Can you understand the teacher's lectures?"

"Mom, the teacher is so amazing and knowledgeable."

This is Xia Qing's opinion.

"Mom, the fish made by Master's wife is delicious."

This is Yanran’s feeling.

"Mom, my classmates are all so rich."

This is a manifestation of Chunsheng's inferiority complex.
