Chapter 224： thunderstorm

“It didn’t grow well? What about the ones you planted before?” Lin Lu asked calmly.

Jiang Dalang: “What I planted before has been sold out long ago.”

"Sold out a long time ago? Do you know the rules? You even sold the things that the Wen family wanted casually." Lin Lu couldn't help but angrily scolded.

Old Man Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at this person, feeling that he no longer needed to be polite to him: "Sir, our family has not received the deposit from the Wen family, and secondly, we are not tenants of the Wen family. We can sell our goods to whomever we want. It’s up to you who gives it to you!”

After saying that, he took his eldest son back home and ignored these people again.

Ah Qiu and another attendant looked at each other.

Lin Luke was furious, but he had nothing to do with these unruly people.

“Let’s go! Go back!” He angrily got into the carriage and asked the driver to drive.

Aqiu had no choice but to get on his horse and keep up.

A few people went back down the same route from the south slope. When they passed the patriarch's old house, they met Han Miaoniang, the second daughter-in-law of the patriarch.

Han Miaoniang knew Aqiu, so she nodded to him, thinking that Mrs. Wen San was in the carriage, "Hey, Mrs. Wen San is back again?"

Ah Qiu hugged her fists and said, "Mrs. Han, my third wife is not here. In the car is my wife's brother, the eldest son of our family."

Mrs. Wen San had lived in the patriarch’s house for a long time and got along well with the patriarch’s eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law, so Aqiu was naturally very polite to them.

Han glanced at the carriage and asked with a smile: "I saw you going to Nanpo just now, why did you leave in such a hurry again?"

Aqiu turned around to look at the carriage and saw his master sitting in the carriage shed with his eyes lowered in deep thought.

However, he neither urged her to leave, nor allowed herself to drive Han Miao Niang away. Apparently, he was distracted because he had not done his errand well.

Ah Qiu turned to Mrs. Han and said, "To be honest, my husband came here to collect mushrooms from the Jiang family. I didn't expect that the Jiang family went back on their word and sold the mushrooms to others privately. Alas, it hurts us." Running more than a thousand miles in vain."

When Han Miaoniang heard that they were here to collect mushrooms, her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly said: "Brother Qiu, I actually have a lot of golden ears at home. Do you want to take a look?"

"Really?" Ah Qiu was very happy when he heard this: "Does your family really have golden ears?"

He has lived in Dongchen Village for more than half a year, so he naturally knows that all the people in Dongchen Village grow mushrooms, but for some reason, the old man of the Wen family wants them to only harvest mushrooms from the Jiang family.

Han Miaoniang: "Of course it's true. Why don't you wait and I'll go back and show it to you."

Before Ah Qiu could answer, Lin Lu lifted the car curtain, stuck his head out and said, "Go get it."

“Hey!” Han Miao Niang ran home happily and took all the golden ears that she had not sold last time.

These moldy golden ears have been washed and dried again by her, and the mildew spots and other stains have been removed, and people who are not familiar with it cannot see it at all.

Originally, she wanted to take it to the county town to have a look, but she didn't go.

Soon, Han Miaoniang ran back with a large bamboo basket of golden ears, followed by her sister-in-law Chen.

“Brother Qiu, look, my golden ears are the brightest. If I hadn’t kept them for my own consumption, I would have sold them long ago.”

Han Miaoniang explained while looking at the expressions of Xiaoqiu and the people on the carriage.

Lin Lu leaned out, picked up one, looked at it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and asked, "How do you sell this?"

As for the Golden Ear, Lin Lu had only seen it once from his sister Lin. He roughly knew what the Golden Ear looked like, but had no idea about its performance.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as you bring the things back, the mission will be completed successfully.

As soon as Han heard this, he knew that this person did not know the goods. He was very happy and said with a smile: "Last time Mrs. Wen San bought it from us at the price of ten taels per catty."

Lin Lu didn't bargain with her, and said to his servant Aqiunun: "Go and weigh it."

Before coming, Mrs. Wen San asked someone to bring him a penny and asked him to weigh the gold ears before collecting them, so as not to be deceived by the unruly people.

Aqiu agreed, took out a box from a box on the carriage, and weighed Jin'er.

Mrs. Chen's eyes were hot when she saw it, and she quickly said: "Sir, I also have several kilograms of golden ears at home. Do you want to take them?" Lin Lu glanced at the golden ears being weighed. When he saw that there were not many, he nodded: "You take it. Come let me see."

Sister-in-law Chen was so happy that she quickly ran home to move the golden ear from home.

Lin Lu only took a brief look at it and asked Ah Qiu to weigh it.

Two portions of golden ears, a total of fifteen and a half catties, calculated as ten taels per catty, is one hundred and fifty-five taels.

Lin Lu took out the cash from the carriage box, handed it to them, ordered the attendants to carry Jin Ear into the carriage, and then drove away.

Han Miaoniang was so happy that she watched the carriage drive away and immediately ran home with the silver in her arms.

“Haha, I’m getting rich.”

Han Miaoniang was so happy that she said to Sister-in-law Chen: "It's really a blessing in disguise. Housekeeper Zhou refused to accept our three liang and one catty. After the New Year, our golden ears were sold for ten taels and one catty."

snort! I really want to smash the silver ingot on the face of the black-hearted manager Zhou and let him take a good look at it. Fortunately, I didn't sell my golden ear to him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to earn so much silver.

"No." Sister-in-law Chen held dozens of taels of silver and said to Han Miaoniang gratefully: "Thank you for reminding me this time. Later I will go to the town to cut a piece of meat and bring it back, and we can make dumplings to eat."

Han Miaoniang smiled proudly: "Which one of us is following the other? We are all one family."

Mr. Han didn't know that her family's golden ears almost caused the Chen family to be wiped out.

After March, it soon came to the end of April.

The weather has been extremely dull these days.

The two thousand golden fungus and snow fungus planted by Yingbao are already mature. She and her mother-in-law are harvesting them in the bamboo shed.

Jiang Sanlang sent the harvested mushrooms to the oven for drying.

The family has been busy for several days and finally packed up all the fungi, harvesting a total of 28 kilograms of golden fungus and the same amount of snow fungus.

If you sell all these, you will get a lot of money.

While it hasn't rained yet, Jiang Sanlang decided to send these mushrooms to the county town and give them to his eldest nephew Jiang Cheng for sale.

"Do not worry."

Ying Bao looked at the sky outside and said to her father: "The weather has been bad recently. It's likely to rain heavily. Dad, you'd better not go out far."

She has been feeling panicked lately, as if something bad was going to happen.

Jiang Sanlang obeyed his little girl's advice, "Okay, I'll inform the villagers and ask them to be careful."

I especially want to remind Patriarch Chen’s family because his two sons still live in the old house at the foot of the mountain.

Click!

There was a thunderous sound, accompanied by bright lightning, which was very scary.

Ying Bao jumped up from the kang and looked out of the window.

It is obviously afternoon, but it is dark outside as if night has fallen.

She jumped off the kang, put on her shoes and ran outside.

“Ying Bao! Where are you going?” Chun Niang chased her out and shouted, “Your brother is at home.”

Ying Bao turned around and said to Chun Niang as he ran, "I'm going to find daddy."

"Your father has gone to the patriarch's house! Come back! Just go find me!" Chun Niang picked up an oil-paper umbrella and chased him out.

Yingbao ran very fast and soon reached the place where the patriarch’s grandfather lived.

I rushed into the courtyard of Chen Zhu’s house and saw Grandma Tang holding her little grandson in her hands, standing under the eaves of the corridor and looking over.

"Ying Bao? It's going to rain. Why are you running out?" Tang said angrily, "What if you get caught in the rain? Go home quickly!"
