Zhou Dagen, who was standing at the back of the crowd, yelled: "it was agreed at the beginning that if the milled rice is not enough, you can use potatoes and sweet potatoes to fill it. I can supply you with the quantity."
After all, the price of potatoes and sweet potatoes is certainly not as high as pure rice, so if you use potatoes and sweet potatoes to make up for it, you should give more.
"But these are black sweet potatoes. How can you sell them?"
The so-called black sweet potato is that the skin is black. When the skin is scraped off, the flesh inside is purple. In the view of villagers, it's not edible and it's probably poisonous.
It turned out that some time ago, Zhou Dagen was cheated by an outsider. The outsider took out a kind of sweet potato seed and said that it was more fragrant and produced more. Anyway, how good it was. Zhou Dagen believed it and bought one.
Well, the yield is at least twice as small as that of black sweet potato.
Even if it can be eaten, the color is not auspicious. Who dares to buy it?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dagen sold it to Gu's family.
Before, in the shed, there was no candlelight and it was dark. People didn't see it clearly. They thought it was ordinary sweet potato or sweet potato. They thought it was OK to fill some rice with it, so they didn't say anything. They would know it by candlelight.
"If we can eat it, our family will eat it, and we haven't died." Zhou Dagen's daughter-in-law yelled, "anyway, they eat by themselves and don't sell to outsiders. What are they afraid of? My family now on these sweet potatoes, no rice, no matter how you force us, we have no rice to you! "
Zhou Dagen and his wife fooled people again and again, which made many people tremble. The village head wanted to knock on his nephew's head to see if there was water in it.
As the village head racked his brains to explain to Gu Yu, he heard Lu Xiaohua say faintly, "I can take these, uh, black sweet potatoes."
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Before Zhou Dagen gave her flaws, she had to worry about them. How could she let go of such a big thing?
They didn't know how excited Lu Xiaohua was at this time. If she didn't try her best to suppress and force herself to be cold, she would have laughed.
What is this black sweet potato? This is purple sweet potato, purple sweet potato!
The value of purple potato is higher than that of ordinary sweet potato. There are several ways to make money in her mind.
Money is everything!
When everyone looked at her, she also felt that she was speaking too fast, so she whispered in Gu Yu's ear first, and then asked, "is that OK, Xianggong?"
Without hesitation, Gu Yu said, "just make a decision."
Lu Xiaohua looked at Gu Yu with a little surprise. How could he talk so well?
This meeting is not suitable to ask. She helped her husband to sit down, limped to the head of the village and said in front of everyone:
"I believe all the villagers are tired because of today's trouble. I'm here to thank you for your help. As for me, I really don't have the energy to investigate. However, we all see what Zhou Dagen did to us. Today, the rice dishes are gone, and there are nearly a month's dishes left. I don't need Zhou Dagen and Zhao Si to send them. I want to ask for a refund. "
"Is that all right, village head?"
Can the village head say no?
After weighing the pros and cons, he agreed and changed the contract document on the spot.
Zhou Dagen and his wife, of course, refused. Then they were suppressed by the crowd, and finally they gave two liang silver.
These two liang, a better farmer, at least two strong men in the family, can barely earn one or two liang after a month's hard work.
Gu's family probably didn't care about the money, so he generously gave Zhou Dagen a lot of food money.
That's why the two of them are now picking up the leak and can pick out the two from Zhou Dagen's hands.
Lu Xiaohua looked at the two liang of silver, her eyes almost glowed. She quietly wiped the corners of her mouth, took the two liang of silver, and gave it to Gu Yu.
She thought to herself that she couldn't be in a hurry now. She had to come steadily.
But she didn't expect that the silver only turned around in Gu Yu's hands, and then returned to her hands. She heard Gu Yu say: "next, it's up to the lady. The lady will take the money first."
Lu Xiaohua
Did she hear it wrong?
But the weight in hand is so clear.
