Chapter 50

"Do you think this contract works?"

After a while, the shopkeeper sent a new contract to him, which was almost the same as yesterday's, adding only the amount he had to supply each month and the new agreement of one or two silver and one kilogram. Ling Jingxuan had a brief look at it, took the seal and put his finger print on it. The cooperative relationship between them was established.

"Now that the matter has been settled, I won't disturb much. The restaurant is still busy."

The shopkeeper took out yesterday's contract and tore it in front of Ling Jingxuan. He took out the new contract. He was about to leave. Ling Jingxuan quickly said, "Jingpeng, Jingpeng?"

At this time, he realized that his younger brother didn't know where he was going. When he glanced at the burden he was holding in his arms, Ling Jingxuan suddenly couldn't help crying and laughing. It was not 100 Liang silver. Did he?

"Jing Peng? "To Peng"

"Ah? Brother, do you call me

Under his push and shove, Ling Jingpeng finally came back to his mind, but the two-way spirit of the eyes is a confused, Ling Jingxuan helplessly shook his head: "shopkeeper, they are leaving, you take the man to the cellar to carry jam."

"Oh, here you are!"

Confused for a moment, Ling Jingpeng could not help blushing. He casually put the burden on him and ran out. The two assistants standing behind the shopkeeper also followed him. Ling Jingxuan chuckled: "I'm sorry, let the shopkeeper see the joke. My brother hasn't seen anything in the world. I'm a bit out of shape."

However, it seems to be better than his little buns. If he falls to the ground like a steamed bun, he will lose face and lose his hair.

"It doesn't matter, young man, just have more experience. By the way, brother Ling, you don't know. Yesterday, a plague broke out in the Ping'an hall in the town. The county master came with the Yamen servants all night. It is said that the village where the child is located has been isolated. Fortunately, Ping'an Tang took out the prescription to prevent and treat the plague at the first time, and the epidemic did not spread Come on, you'd better go to the town to pick up two pairs of medicine to prevent it. Besides, the county master also brought the news of conscription. It seems that something has happened to the front line. The imperial court has decided to recruit temporarily. As long as there are two laborers aged from 14 to 35, one person will be sent out. I heard that you have two younger brothers. It's better to prepare in advance. I'm afraid the official documents will be sent to all villages soon It's time. "

When manager Zhang said those words, Ling Jingxuan was still a little careless. When he talked about the conscription, Ling Jingxuan frowned fiercely. He didn't care. He didn't meet the standard. My younger brother was in danger. Because Ling's family didn't pay attention to his parents and what happened yesterday, they would let Jingpeng go once the military service came down, right? Damn it, why didn't you come early or late? It happened to be this time? In this age of cold weapons, is not being a soldier equal to death?

"But you don't have to worry too much. If you don't want your relatives to go, you can pay 20 Liang silver."

He didn't notice the murderous spirit looming in his eyes. Seeing that he frowned, shopkeeper Zhang thought that he was simply worried and told him how to remedy it. The imperial court has been fighting for many years, and the Treasury is not abundant. The military expenditure is also very tight. Money is as important as people. "Well, thank you, brother Zhang for telling me about this."

As soon as the murderous spirit subsided, Ling Jingxuan clasped his fist and arched at him, and a faint smile appeared on his face. There has never been any absolute good or bad thing in the world. Conscription may be a good opportunity.

"Brother Ling, you're welcome. I'll say it's not worth your politeness."

As soon as I heard his address, I knew that their relationship was getting closer. In this regard, manager Zhang said he was very happy. He really liked this boy who was scolded and abandoned by everyone. I don't know why. He always has a strange premonition that this son is not in the pool! "Ha ha I have nothing to thank you for. This is the mushroom I picked in the mountain. The shopkeeper will take some back to eat. "

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan didn't say much. He stood up and picked up a tattered dustpan from the cabinet next to him. The mushrooms they picked yesterday were soaked in the water of crescent spring at night, and they were all fresh now.

"What?! Mushrooms? "

The shopkeeper grabbed the dustpan excitedly. His right hand trembled and picked up one of the mushrooms and sniffed it. After half a sound, he looked at Ling Jingxuan carefully and asked, "can you distinguish mushrooms?"

"Yes, very strange?"

With a strange nod, Danfeng can't help but feel puzzled. Let alone his medical skills, even ordinary people, it's not difficult to distinguish some edible mushrooms?

"How could it be? Do you know how precious mushrooms are? There is a special occupation in Beijing called mushroom identification. It is basically used by restaurants or aristocratic families. Even they sometimes make mistakes. When they pick poisonous mushrooms, people die almost every year. It is said that this mushroom identifier is handed down from generation to generation. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to teach them to outsiders. How did you learn it?

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan finally knew why he was so excited. He suddenly remembered that when he first picked mushrooms that day, Xiao baozi also asked him about the poisonous mushrooms. At that time, he only thought that he was young and didn't know that it could be eaten. He didn't expect that there was such a meaning in it, hehe?? Can he say that he has found another way to get rich?"When I was a child, I met a traveling barefoot doctor who taught me how to distinguish mushroom seeds as well as medical skills."

Ling Jingxuan casually makes up a character. No one will check it anyway, does he?

"No wonder, brother Ling, you are really lucky. If you can collect more mushrooms in the future, you must first send them to our Xinyuan restaurant. You can rest assured that I will give you a good price."

The shopkeeper didn't think so much about it. He patted him on the shoulder and laughed. He pulled a cloth towel from his arms and wrapped all the mushrooms in the dustpan. This is a good thing.

"Thank you, brother. The jam seems to be finished. Let's go and have a look."

It's not the season for mushrooms to proliferate in large numbers. Ling Jingxuan doesn't intend to say more. He makes a gesture of invitation with one hand on his back. The shopkeeper is elated with the mushroom package, and his eyes are full of satisfaction.

With the cooperation of Ling Jingpeng and some of his assistants, 100 jars of jam were quickly removed. By the way, they also said the weight of the fish. The total amount was 35, 130 Jin, 10 Wen / kg, 1300 Wen / kg. The shopkeeper wanted to pay for it. Ling Jingxuan thought that it was a long-term supply, so he simply told him to settle the account once every 10 days to avoid any trouble. The shopkeeper readily agreed.

"Dad, dad?? Is all this money ours? " After seeing off the shopkeeper, the two brothers turned back to the room one after another. Before entering the door, Ling Wen ran out with a red face and Ling Wu followed him excitedly.

Seeing his money fan's appearance, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help laughing. He led them into the hall and sat down. Then he said slowly: "yes, a total of one hundred Liang. Shopkeeper Zhang has signed a long-term cooperation contract with us. In the future, there will be more than one hundred Liang. Not only that, but also our shopkeeper, Zhang Yuzhang, will send people to the house every morning and dad will pick them up The shopkeeper said that they were good things, which were more expensive than meat. If we could get more mushrooms, we must sell them to them. In this way, our family would have more income. You should be more down-to-earth in the future? "

Alas, my son loves money, so he can only try to make money as a father.

"Really?! After that, don't eat the mushrooms we picked ourselves, and we'll keep them for money. " On hearing this, Ling Wen made a decision decisively.

"Ha?" Ling Jingxuan's forehead is black, the corner of his mouth can't help but smoke: "that what small article ah, mushroom is the only nutritious thing in our family's food, how can we sell it all?"

When can he make them meat buns?

"What's the matter? I've thought about it. Dad, you said that mushrooms are more expensive than meat. Let's take the money from selling mushroom seeds to catch two piglets back. After fattening up for the Spring Festival, we can kill the pigs."

Look at what he says. Ling Jingxuan just wants to kill himself. He has something to tell him what mushroom seeds can sell for? This is good. The only delicious ration is gone.

"Dad, this is good. Catch the pig and eat the pig food!"

The two steamed stuffed buns didn't notice their father's depression at all. The big one was right. The small one clapped his hands all over the room. Ling Jingxuan's body was soft, and he was lying on the table. A money slave, a foodie, a bear child, was deliberately blocking him, right? "Ha ha Big brother, I think it's OK to catch two piglets. By the way, we can sell some chickens to raise, and we can lay eggs in the future. But Xiaowen, don't sell the eggs laid by your own hens. Stay and mend your body. You are so skinny. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your father and Xiao Wu. "

Ling Jingpeng, who had a good view of everything, said with a smile that he could feel his brother's feelings. Really! however?? In the future, he will never let his children have many places with Xiaowen. This stingy habit is too troubling, although it is really funny.

"I, I know." Let uncle * * naked so a say, even if he did not think of that layer, also can't help a little red face.

"Ha ha." Ling Jingpeng couldn't help it any longer, holding his stomach and laughing wildly. He bet that if he didn't remind him first, his little nephew would definitely hit those eggs.

With a fierce look at his brother-in-law, who was laughing without image, Ling Wen found that his father was dying. He looked at the white money in his hand and thought about what he had just said. Ling Wen suddenly felt a bit remorse and went over to pull Ling Jingxuan's clothes and asked carefully, "Daddy, are you angry?"

"Ah? No, I just think it's not impossible to cut expenditure. If you want to make a fortune, it's better to open source. Xiaowen, do you remember what I told you? Before doing anything, we must have a healthy body. Look at us, we are all skinny. No matter what we do, we are panting. We have no money in the past. Now we all make money, and we will continue to earn it. Should we be more open about food? "

Back to God, Ling Jingxuan turned and put one hand on his shoulder and said seriously. If they continue to live on bitterly, they will lose the meaning of making money.

Ling Wen's head was crooked. His two black eyebrows sometimes wrinkled and sometimes loosened. It seemed that he was thinking carefully about what he said. After a long time, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes and said, "let's buy white flour and rice later, and cut some meat from time to time. Is this OK?""Well, it's not only meat, but also eggs. I also want to go to the town to buy a cow or a milk goat. You are five years old, but you look like children of three or four years old. Do you know how much my father feels? My father is a doctor. I've told him that I'll arrange the food for him? You must be made into meat buns, and you will give dad a chance. "

It's really not easy to let go of big steamed stuffed buns. Ling Jingxuan's previous depression was swept away. He took the opportunity to take back some of the ownership of his family. He didn't dare to think about anything else. In fact, being stingy is also a good thing. At least he can save money, isn't he?
