"It didn't grow well? What about the ones we 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 we know the rules? We sold the things the Wen family asked for casually." Lin Lu couldn't help but angrily scolded.
Old Man Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at this person, feeling that he did not need to beg him to be polite: "Well, Wei Yuanzi, our family has neither taken the deposit from the Wen family, nor is it a tenant of the Wen family. We want to sell our own things to him."
I sell it to whomever I want, I don’t care!"
After that, he took his eldest son back home and ignored those people again.
Ah Qiu and another attendant looked at each other.
Lin Luke was furious, but he had nothing to do with the unruly people.
"Hui! Go back!" He angrily rushed to the carriage and asked the driver to drive.
Ah Qiu had to follow her on horseback.
Several people went east to Nanpo and returned the same way. When they passed the patriarch's old house, they met Han Miaoniang, the second daughter-in-law of the patriarch.
Did Han Miaoniang know Ah Qiu? She nodded to him, thinking that there was Mrs. Wen San in the carriage, "Hey, Mrs. Wen San is here?"
Ah Qiu clasped his fists at her: "Mrs. Han, his third wife is not here. Is his wife's brother the eldest son of our family in the car?"
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. Naturally, Aqiu was very polite to them.
Han glanced at the carriage and asked with a smile: "I saw us going to Nanpo just now, why did we leave in such a hurry again?"
Aqiu turned to look at the carriage and saw his master walking in the carriage shed, lowering his eyes in deep thought.
Bu Nao, he neither urged her to leave, nor allowed herself to drive Han Miao Niang away. It was obvious that she was distracted because she had not done her errand well.
Ah Qiu turned to Mrs. Han and said, "To tell you the truth, his husband came here to collect mushrooms from the Jiang family. He didn't expect that the Jiang family went back on their word and even sold the mushrooms to others privately. Alas, what a disaster.
We have traveled more than a thousand miles."
When Han Miaoniang heard whether they were here to collect mushrooms, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Brother Qiu, he actually has a lot of golden ears in his house. Can I please take a look?"
"Really?" Ah Qiu was very happy when he heard this: "Is there really a golden ear in my family?"
He had lived in Dongchen Village for more than half a year, and naturally knew that all the people in Dongcun grew mushrooms, but for some unknown reason, the old man of the Wen family begged them to just harvest the mushrooms from the Jiang family.
Han Miaoniang: "Of course it's true, please don't wait, he will go back and show it to me."
Before Ah Qiu could answer, Lin Lu lifted the car curtain, stuck his head out and said, "I'll get it."
"Hey!" Han Miao Niang ran home happily and took all the golden ears that she had not sold this time.
Those moldy golden ears have been cleaned and dried again by her, and the mildew spots and other stains have been removed. People who are not familiar with the industry can't even see it.
She originally wanted to take it to the county town to have a look, but it turned out that she didn't go.
Soon, Han Miaoniang ran back with a large bamboo basket of golden ears, followed closely by her sister-in-law Chen.
"Brother Qiu, let me see, his golden ears are the brightest. I beg you to keep them for your own consumption. They have been sold for a long time."
As Han Miaoniang explained, she looked at the expressions of Xiaoqiu and the people in the carriage.
Lin Lu leaned out, picked up one, looked at it, sniffed it, and asked, "How can I sell that one?"
Lin Lu had seen Golden Ear at his sister Lin's place once. He roughly knew what Golden Ear looked like, but he had no idea whether its nature was good or bad.
But it doesn't matter, just ask yourself to take the things back, even if you complete the task successfully.
As soon as Mrs. Han heard this, she knew that this person did not know the goods. She was very happy and said with a smile: "Is it true that Mrs. Wen San will buy it from them at the price of ten taels per catty?"
Lin Lu didn't even bargain with her, but said to his servant Aqiu Nunu: "Go and weigh something."
Before coming, Mrs. Wen San asked someone to bring him a basket and asked him to weigh it before collecting the golden ears, so as not to be deceived by the unscrupulous people.
Ah Qiu agreed, took out the box from a box where the carriage was, and weighed Jin Er.
Sister-in-law Chen was so excited that she asked, "Well, Wei Yuanzi, his family also has several kilograms of golden ears. Do you want to take them?"
Lin Lu took a look at the golden ears being weighed and saw that there weren't many, so he nodded: "I'll bring it to him to see."
Sister-in-law Chen was so happy that she even ran home to move the golden ear from home.
Lin Lu took a brief look at it and asked Ah Qiu to weigh it.
Two portions of gold ear, a total of fifteen and a half catties, calculated as ten taels per catty, is equivalent to 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 the golden ears into the carriage, and then drove away.
Han Miaoniang was so happy that she watched the carriage go away and immediately ran home with the money 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."
Huh! I really want to smash the silver ingot in the face of the black-hearted manager Zhou, so that he can 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 money.
"Yes." Sister-in-law Chen held dozens of taels of silver in her hands and gratefully said to Han Miaoniang: "Thank you for reminding my sister and brother that time. Later, he will go to town and cut a piece of meat and come back, so we can make dumplings to eat."
Han Miaoniang smiled proudly: "Which of us is following whom? We are all one family."
Little did the Han family know that the golden ears in her family almost caused the Chen family to be wiped out.
After March, it soon came to the end of April.
The weather was particularly dull during those months.
The two thousand golden fungus and snow fungus planted by Yingbao are already mature, and she and her mother-in-law are harvesting them in the bamboo shed.
Jiang Sanlang sent the mushrooms harvested from the east to the oven to dry.
The family went there for several days and finally collected all the mushrooms. They harvested a total of twenty-eight kilograms of golden fungi and an equal amount of snow fungus.
If you sell them all, you will get a lot of money.
Taking advantage of the lack of rain, Jiang Sanlang decided to send the batch of 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 is not good in the near future. It is expected to rain heavily in the east, so I won't go far away."
She has been feeling panicked lately, as if something bad is going to happen.
Jiang Sanlang mistakenly obeyed his little girl's advice, "Well, he will inform the villagers and ask them to be careful."
I especially requested to remind Patriarch Chen’s family because his two sons live in the old house in Shandong.

There was a thunderous sound, accompanied by bright lightning, which was very scary.
Ying Bao jumped up from the kang, opened the window and looked out.
It's obviously midnight now, but it's dark outside as if night has fallen.
She danced on the bed, put on her shoes and ran outside.
"Yingbao! Where am I going?" Chun Niang chased her and shouted, "My brother is at home."
As Ying Bao ran, he turned back to Chun Niang and said, "He goes to find daddy."
"My father has gone to the patriarch's house! I'll be 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.
When I rushed into the courtyard of Chen Zhu's house, I saw Grandma Tang holding her little grandson in her hands, standing on the eaves of the corridor looking eastward.
"Ying Bao? It's almost raining. Why am I running out?" Tang said angrily, "What if I get caught in the rain? Go home quickly!"
