Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

"Do you think this contract is feasible?"

Not long after, the shopkeeper sent him a re-drafted contract, which was similar to yesterday's one, only adding the amount he had to supply every month and a new agreement of one or two silver per catty. Ling Jingxuan took a rough look at it. After a while, take the seal and stamp it with your own finger print, and the cooperative relationship between them will be established.

"Since the matter has been settled, I won't bother you any more. The restaurant is still busy."

The shopkeeper took out yesterday's contract and tore it up in front of Ling Jingxuan, and put away the new contract, as if he was about to leave, Ling Jingxuan hurriedly said: "Jing Peng, Jing Peng?"

It wasn't until this time that he belatedly discovered that his younger brother had no idea where his fugue had gone, and glanced at the burden he was holding in his arms foolishly, Ling Jingxuan couldn't laugh or cry, it was just 100 taels of silver, what did he do?

"Jing Peng? Jing Peng??"

"Huh? Brother, you called me?"

Under his pushing and shoving, Ling Jingpeng finally came back to his senses, but his two-way eyes were full of confusion, Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly: "The shopkeeper and the others are leaving, you take the buddy to the cellar to carry the jam."

"Oh, then this is for you!"

The confusion faded away in an instant, Ling Jingpeng couldn't help but blush, stuffed him with the burden indiscriminately, and ran out sullenly, the two guys standing behind the shopkeeper also followed, Ling Jingxuan smiled: "Sorry, let the shopkeeper see the joke Oh, my younger brother hasn't seen much of the world yet, so he lost his composure."

However, it seems to be better than his little bun. If he also fell to the ground like little bun, it would be really embarrassing and embarrassing.

"It's okay, young people, just practice more. By the way, brother Ling, you probably don't know yet. The plague broke out in the Ping'an Hall in the town yesterday. The county lord came here overnight with the yamen servant. It is said that where the child is The village has been quarantined, but fortunately, Ping An Tang came up with the prescriptions to prevent and treat the plague in the first place, and the epidemic has not spread. You'd better go to the town to pick up two medicines to prevent it. Also, At the same time, the county lord brought the news of the conscription. There seems to be an accident on the front line. The imperial court temporarily decided to recruit soldiers. As long as each family has two labor force aged 35 to [-], one person must be sent out. I heard that you have two younger brothers. It’s better to prepare in advance, the official document will be sent to every village soon.”

When shopkeeper Zhang said the previous words, Ling Jingxuan was still a little careless. When he talked about conscription, Ling Jingxuan frowned fiercely. Don't pay much attention to it, plus yesterday's incident, once the military service is over, they will definitely let Jingpeng go, right?Damn it, why don't you come sooner or later, why come at this time?In this era of cold weapons, isn't being a soldier the same as dying?

"But you don't have to worry too much. If you really don't want to let your relatives go, just pay 20 taels of silver."

He didn't notice the murderous look in his eyes. Seeing his frown, Shopkeeper Zhang thought he was simply worried, and hurriedly told him the remedy. As important as people "Well, thank you Brother Zhang for telling me about this."

The murderous intent subsided in an instant, Ling Jingxuan cupped his fists and clasped his hands towards him, a faint smile appeared on his face, there was never any absolute good or bad thing in this world, and conscription might be a good opportunity, and it might not be a good opportunity.

"Brother Ling is being polite, so I'll just say that I don't deserve your being so polite."

As soon as I heard his address, I knew that their relationship was one step closer. Shopkeeper Zhang expressed his pleasure about this. He really liked this kid who was scolded by everyone. For some reason, he always had a strange feeling. Premonition, this child is definitely not a thing in the pool! "Hehe... I don't have anything to thank you for. These are the mushrooms I picked in the mountains. The shopkeeper can take some back to eat."

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan didn't say much, stood up and picked up a tattered dustpan from the cabinet next to him. The mushrooms they picked yesterday night were soaked in Crescent Spring water and left to dry, and they are still fresh.

"What?! Mushrooms?"

The shopkeeper snatched the dustpan excitedly, picked up one of the mushrooms with a trembling right hand and sniffed it. After a long while, he looked at Ling Jingxuan and asked cautiously, "Can you identify mushrooms?"

"Yes, is it strange?"

Nodding strangely, Danfeng's eyes couldn't help but be tainted with doubts. Not to mention that he knows medical skills, even for ordinary people, it shouldn't be difficult to distinguish some edible mushrooms, right?

"How is it possible? Do you know how precious mushrooms are? There is a special profession in the capital called Mushroom Identifyer, which is basically employed by various restaurants or aristocratic families. Even they sometimes make mistakes in identifying mushrooms and pick poisonous ones." Mushrooms kill people almost every year. It is said that the identification of mushrooms is handed down from generation to generation. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to teach it to outsiders. How did you learn it?

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan finally knew why he was so excited, and suddenly remembered that when he was picking mushrooms for the first time that day, Little Baozi had asked him, those mushrooms were poisonous, why did he pick them? Baozi was young, so he didn't know that this thing could be eaten, but 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 young, I met a barefoot doctor who traveled all over the world. While he taught me medical skills, he also taught me how to identify mushrooms."

Ling Jingxuan casually made up a character, no one would investigate anyway, right?

"No wonder, I said Brother Ling, you are really lucky. If you can gather more mushrooms in the future, you must send them to our Xinyuan Restaurant first. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good price."

The shopkeeper didn't think too much about it. He patted his shoulder and laughed loudly. He didn't forget to pull out a cloth towel from his arms to wrap all the mushrooms in the dustpan. This is a good thing.

"Then thank you, brother. It seems that Jam has finished moving. Let's go and have a look."

Now is not the season for mushrooms to multiply, Ling Jingxuan didn't intend to say more, and made a gesture of please with one hand behind his back. The shopkeeper happily hugged the bag wrapped in mushrooms, and his eyes were full of naked satisfaction.

With the concerted efforts of Ling Jingpeng and several fellows, one hundred cans of jam were quickly moved out. By the way, they also weighed the fish. There were 35 fish in total, 130 catties, ten cents a catty, one thousand three hundred coins, The shopkeeper wanted to pay, Ling Jingxuan thought it was a long-term supply anyway, so he simply told him to settle the bill every ten days to avoid trouble, and the shopkeeper readily agreed.

"Father, father?? Is all this money ours?" After seeing off the shopkeeper, the two brothers went back to the house one after another. He also followed behind him with a look of excitement.

Seeing his money-obsessed appearance, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help laughing, led them into the main room and sat down, and then said slowly: "Yes, a total of 100 taels, Zhang Zhang also signed a long-term cooperation contract with us, and there will be more in the future." 100 taels, not only that, but our shopkeeper also asked for the Yuzhang shopkeeper, and every morning from now on, he will send people to the house to pull them, as well as those mushrooms that my father picked. The shopkeeper said it was a good thing, more expensive than meat, and said yes If we can get more, we must sell them to him, so that our family will have more income, you should be more at ease in the future, right?"

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

"Really?! From now on, don't eat the mushrooms we pick, let's keep them all and sell them for money." Ling Wen made a decisive decision after hearing this.

"Huh?" Ling Jingxuan's forehead darkened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "What's the matter, mushrooms are the only nutritious thing in our family's diet, how can we sell them all?"

So when can he turn them into meat buns?

"What's the matter? I've thought about it. Dad, didn't you say that mushrooms are more expensive than meat? Let's use the money from selling the mushrooms to catch two piglets and bring them back. They can be fattened up for the New Year and kill them." Where's the pig?"

Look at what he said so well, Ling Jingxuan just wanted to beat himself to death, why would he tell him that mushrooms can be sold if he has nothing to do?This is great, the only decent ration is gone.

"Daddy, this is good, catch the piggies and eat the butchered vegetables!"

The two buns didn't notice their father's depression at all, the older one spoke logically, the younger one slapped his hands and walked around the room, Ling Jingxuan's body went limp, and he lay powerlessly on the table, a money slave, a foodie, a brat, Are you trying to make things difficult for him? "Hehe...Brother, I think it's okay to catch two piglets. By the way, I can sell some chickens to raise them, and they can lay eggs in the future. But Xiaowen, don't sell the eggs laid by your own hens. Come down and build up your body, seeing how thin you are, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your father and Xiao Wu."

Ling Jingpeng, who had a panoramic view of everything, said with a smile, he can understand how my brother feels, really!but? ?In the future, he will never let his children hang out with Xiaowen, this stingy habit is too annoying, although it is really funny.

"I, I know." Let the uncle say that nakedly, even if he hadn't thought about that level, he couldn't help but blush a little.

"Haha." Seeing this, Ling Jingpeng couldn't bear it any longer, and he was laughing up and down with his stomach in his hands. He dared to bet that if he didn't remind him first, his little nephew would definitely plan on those bastards.

Glaring fiercely at the uncle who was laughing out of shape, Ling Wen realized that his father was "dying to death". Looking at the white money in his hand, and thinking about what he said just now, Ling Wen suddenly blamed himself, Walking over to pull Ling Jingxuan's clothes, he asked cautiously: "Daddy, are you angry?"

"Ah? No, I just think that saving money is not a bad thing. To make a fortune, it is best to focus on open source, Xiaowen, remember what I told you? You must have a healthy body before doing anything. Look at our bodies, we are all skinny and out of breath no matter what we do. We used to be fine if we had no money, but now we have made money and will continue to make money in the future. In terms of food, we are Shouldn't you let it go a little bit?"

After regaining his senses, Ling Jingxuan turned around and put one hand on his shoulder and said seriously, if they continue to suffer, they will lose the meaning of making money.

Ling Wen tilted his head, and his two dark eyebrows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes loosened, as if he was thinking carefully about what he said. After a long while, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and opened them with a fleshy face. Painfully said: "Then let's buy white noodles and rice to eat from now on, and cut some meat back from time to time, is that okay?"

"Hey, that's the way it is. Not only meat, but also one egg a day. I also want to go to the town to buy a cow or sheep. You are all five years old, but your body looks like a three- or four-year-old child. Same, do you know how distressed Daddy is? Daddy is a doctor, and I will leave it to Daddy to arrange the food in the future. Didn’t I say it? You must be made into meat buns, so you can give Daddy a chance.”

It's really not easy for the big bun to let go. Ling Jingxuan's previous depression was swept away, and he took the opportunity to regain part of the family power. He didn't dare to think about anything else. It's actually a good thing for his son to be stingy, at least he can save Money isn't it?
