Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 102 Discussion on Purchasing

"Okay, how about going tomorrow?"

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Okay."

I am going to the market the day after tomorrow. The silk nets are almost finished and will be delivered at the end of the month.

In the evening, after returning home and cooking, the three brothers carried their empty baskets into the village.

Shen Zhong was walking around in the fields and saw the three people. He waved to Shen Rongshan.

The latter said to the two twins: "You go home first."

The two nodded: "Got it, big brother, you go and come back soon."

Looking at the person walking over, he said with a smile: "Rongshan, I heard from the villagers that your family bought several hundred kilograms of goods. How are they selling?"

"There are still more than 200 kilograms left to sell. I'll go again tomorrow."

It rained the past two days and I didn’t go out.

"You've been to all the nearby villages, right? The villages are too far away, and it's tiring for you to run around. Why not let them come to your house to buy goods and open a grocery store?"

Shen Rongshan stood beside him, looking at the sprouts in the field: "Right now, we don't have the money to buy a foundation. This is only enough for our family of four to eat and use."

"Don't worry, do business and make money. When you have money, you can choose any vacant residential plot in the village."

Except for the residential land next to his house, which he will not sell, that is left for his two grandchildren.

Shen Zhong walked slowly along the edge of the field: "Your family has too few fields and the harvest is small. After the rice is harvested this year, do you plan to sell it or keep it for your own consumption?"

The land is seven mu, and the rice harvest is not much. The land is at the foot of the mountain.

"I haven't decided yet. Let's see how much I can collect. If there's less, I'll keep it for myself."

Shen Rongshan looked up and caught a glimpse of Ji Wenhe halfway up the mountain. She was waiting for him.

My heart softened, and I quickly said goodbye to the village head and walked quickly towards home.

From Shen Zhong's angle, he didn't see Ji Wenhe as he was blocked by a big tree.

He muttered, "Why is this kid leaving in such a hurry?"

Then he shook his head and went to take a look at other people's fields.

"Brother Shen."

Shen Rongshan raised his eyebrows and smiled dotingly: "Why don't you wait for me at home?"

Ji Wenhe went up to him and held his hand: "The meal is ready. I'm waiting for you to come back and eat."

The lace has been made, and the clothes for several people are also ready. There is nothing to do at home.

He gently held her hand, but his grip was too strong, so he was afraid of hurting her: "I came back late today, come earlier next time, and I'll cook dinner when I get back."

She smiled but didn't answer him: "Brother Shen, go to the market the day after tomorrow and buy some meat and two fish."

Shen Rongshan held her hand, his big hand could hold her hand in his palm: "Let's go to the river to catch fish."

Ji Wenhe raised his head and glanced sideways: "The river opposite the village? I don't see any fish."

Those that have have been caught have probably been caught too. There are so many residents nearby, how could they wait for them to catch them?

"There are many small rivers on the way to the market. We can go and see them. We have donkey carts and it won't delay us."

"Okay, the four of us will go to the market. Wenshan hasn't been there for a long time, so he wants to go along and have some fun."

Shen Wenshan always stayed at home, but this time he had a donkey cart and took him along.

"it is good."

When they arrived at the yard, Shen Rongshan reluctantly let go of her hand.

They washed their hands and the food was already on the table.

Shen Yuanshan was eating wild vegetable cakes: "Sister-in-law, brother, how much goods will you bring back the day after tomorrow?"

"The black noodles should still be 500 kilograms, and the others should be less."

In the village, black noodles are still the best seller.

Ji Wenhe lowered his eyes to look at the rice in the bowl, thought for a moment, and looked at Shen Rongshan: "Brother Shen, can we bring some fabrics back to sell?"

He shook his head: "It's not easy to sell."

“Someone should buy it.”

"Well, we didn't buy much. Look at our village, everyone's clothes are patched up. It's the same in other villages, very few people wear new clothes."

Shen Wenshan took over the conversation: "Well, what big brother said is right. Yuanshan and I have been to many villages, and we haven't seen many people wearing new clothes."

He pulled off his clothes.

"This one I'm wearing must be several years old. It was because it was too small for Brother Anguo, so Aunt Lan gave it to me."

"Clothes that adults can no longer wear will be altered to be worn by children, or given to people with whom we have close relationships. Children usually never wear new clothes."

Ji Wenhe understood and thought of his neighbor when he was a child. There were three girls in their family. The clothes that the eldest could not wear were given to the second one, and the clothes that the second one could not wear were given to the third one. The clothes that the third one could not wear were given to other families.

"It's easy to get a lot of weight if we bring in cloth, so let's not bring it in. We're mainly selling food, so we need to bring in meat this time."

"Brother Shen, how much meat do you plan to take in?"

Shen Rongshan pondered for a moment and looked at her: "Ten catties of fat pork, five catties of pork belly, and two catties of lean meat."

“So little lean meat?”

"Well, fatty pork is easy to sell, and lean meat is not oily. When the farming season is busy, we can buy more fatty pork, and it will sell better then."

Ji Wenhe likes to eat lean meat, and will eat a few pieces of fat meat that has been braised into oil residue. He cannot eat too much, otherwise he will feel greasy.

She doesn't like pork belly either. She will vomit if she eats fatty meat. It has been like this since she was a child.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll buy a small amount first and sell it back. Next time, you know the amount and you decide how much to buy."

She was responsible for paying.

After dinner, Ji Wenhe sat cross-legged on the bed: "Brother Shen, will you go with them tomorrow?"

Shen Rongshan walked to the bed and sat down: "Well, come back early after selling."

"Okay, Aunt Lan and I will go out to look for wild vegetables tomorrow, and then we will invite them to dinner the day after tomorrow. Who will be there?"

"Aunt Lan and Xiaoya, Master, I would also like to invite Uncle Sanbao."

"Is it the one who lent us the donkey cart?"

"Correct."

Ji Wenhe pulled the quilt and lay down: "Should we invite the whole family, or just him?"

Shen Rongshan took off his coat and said, "Only invite Uncle Sanbao. Do you want to invite everyone? They have a big family, eight or nine people."

"...I can't afford it."

Then he thought for a moment and said, "Brother Shen, buy half a pound of pork and send it over. Uncle Sanbao won't be called over. This way, the whole family can eat meat."

"And they have children at home, right?"

"Yes, I have two little grandchildren."

"Look, if you go to their house and invite him, the little grandson will come along, and you can't just say 'I didn't invite you, so you can't come'."

Shen Rongshan was amused by her and said softly, "I'll listen to you and buy half a pound of pork to send over. I won't send it over anymore in the future."

Ji Wenhe nodded and then asked, "Who else?"

"Li Zheng must be invited."

"Well, if we don't invite him, he might feel uncomfortable. We also borrowed his scale, so we should invite him. There's more."

"And Aunt Miao's family. The basket is borrowed from them."

Ji Wenhe propped up his chin and said, "I remember Aunt Miao's husband broke a leg and couldn't walk."

"It's not that he can't walk, it's that he can't walk much. His legs aren't completely broken. He usually walks around the yard at home leaning on a piece of wood. You probably haven't seen him before."

"No, he doesn't go out, and I seldom go to the village. Not only him, but I haven't seen the husbands of many aunts."

"By the way, Shen Liang is back."

Shen Rongshan tilted his head to face the inside: "When did you come back?"

Ji Wenhe thought for a moment and said, "I forgot exactly when I came back, but it was in the morning anyway."
