Gu Qiu, Lin Yu'er, and Gu Dong nodded quickly, picked the fruit and then made candied fruit, and then there was another business.

To Gu Qiu's surprise, golden candied dates were sold very well in the county. Lin Dashan went to Zuixianlou and Zhouji grocery store after five days, and brought over sixty catties of candied dates. Xianlou was held back by Shopkeeper Ye.

"Dashan, the candied dates you sent last time were selling very well in our restaurant. Many customers ate and packed a lot of them back. They were almost sold out yesterday. Fortunately, you delivered them today, otherwise our restaurant would have to buy them." It's out of stock." Shopkeeper Ye greeted Lin Dashan enthusiastically when he saw Lin Dashan coming.

Lin Dashan smiled and said, "Master Ye, are our dates really that easy to sell? Hehe, I brought another sixty catties here today. How much do you need for Zuixianlou?"

Shopkeeper Ye did the math, "Sixty catties, we at Zuixianlou can eat it all."

Originally, Lin Dashan brought so many dates to sell to Zuixianlou and Zhouji Grocery Store, but now shopkeeper Ye said that he could eat [-] catties of candied dates, so Lin Dashan temporarily decided to sell all the dates in his hands to Zuixian Building, after all, the price of Zuixianlou is two cents more than that of the grocery store.

Lin Dashan immediately handed over the jujubes he brought today to Shopkeeper Ye, collected the money and went to Shopkeeper Zhou.

Shopkeeper Zhou has always been very enthusiastic towards people, but this time seeing Lin Dashan was even more enthusiastic. When he saw Lin Dashan's figure from a distance, he walked out of the store, pulled Lin Dashan into the store with a smile, and poured it for him. A cup of good hot tea, "Dashan, the golden candied dates you brought last time were sold well, how many did you bring today? Hey, what are you doing, why did you come here empty-handed?"

Looking at shopkeeper Zhou's fat face full of disappointment, Lin Dashan felt a little guilty, but he couldn't just say that he sold all the dates he brought to others, so Lin Dashan thought for a while and said, "Treasurer Zhou, This time, let me first ask how much you need in your store?"

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded knowingly, and asked, "How many candied dates do you have at home?"

"It's about fifty catties." Lin Dashan made an estimate.

"It's only fifty catties." Shopkeeper Zhou showed a regretful expression on his face, "If you can, send it to our store."

"Okay, shopkeeper Zhou, then I'll go back to the village first and bring you the dates in the afternoon." Lin Dashan nodded in agreement.

Although the price offered by Zuixianlou is high, shopkeeper Zhou is very kind and has always taken good care of him. Lin Dashan will not break his promise for the benefit of a few pennies.

In the afternoon, Lin Dashan sent his own dates to Shopkeeper Zhou.

In just a few days, all the more than 100 catties of golden candied dates made at home were sold. Seeing the four taels of silver they just bought, several people were extremely happy.Although more than four taels is not a lot, it is different if you can earn so much in such a short period of time, and this is a long-term business. In the future, you can make your own dates and various fruits. Sell.

As soon as Gu Qiu and the others thought of this, they couldn't wait to go to the back mountain to pick fruits.

Gu Qiu pulled Lin Dashan's sleeve, looked at Lin Dashan and asked eagerly: "Dashan, when are we going to pick fruits in the back mountain?"

Lin Dashan smiled and patted Gu Qiu's hand in fear, "Don't worry, the fruit trees on the mountain won't escape there. The soybeans and corn that were brought back from the field last time haven't been processed yet. Wait for another two days."

Gu Qiu is not a capricious person either, Lin Dashan's words made sense, so Gu Qiu put the matter aside first.

In the next few days, Lin Dashan's family was busy peeling corn kernels and beans.Sitting and moving your hands is not very tiring. Gu Qiu, who is pregnant, also helps, but under the supervision of Lin Dashan and Lin Yuer, after half an hour of work, you have to rest for an hour. .

"Dashan, you are busy."

Hearing a familiar voice, Lin Dashan looked up and saw He Zhengping leading Gu Dong into the yard.

"Yeah, I heard from Gu Dong that you've been very busy recently, why did you come here today when you're free?" Lin Dashan didn't show so much courtesy to He Zhengping, he was busy with the work at hand while talking to him.

"You can't be busy every day. There is always time. My old man liked the candied dates that Gu Qiu asked Gu Dong to send last time. I ate them up in a few days, and I was still very hungry, so I came over to buy some. Son." He Zhengping said with a smile.

"Then it's not a coincidence that you came here, my family's candied dates have been sold out." Lin Dashan was a little proud of his brother's craftsmanship.

"Sold out so quickly!" He Zhengping was a little shocked.

"Yes, but we still have some for ourselves, and I'll take some back for you later." Lin Yuer comforted with a smile.

"Brother Yu'er, you are really partial. Last time I said I wanted to eat your candied dates, you were only willing to give me a few. Now that Brother Zhengping wants it, you just say you want to give me more." Gu Dong said without hesitation.

Lin Yu'er blushed when she heard Gu Dong's words. The speaker had no intention of listening to them. Although Gu Dong's words were just a child's coquettishness, it sounded a little strange to Lin Yu'er's ears. Some felt uneasy and embarrassed as if he had been seen through, so he quickly explained: "I'm afraid that you will have a toothache if you eat too much, and it's not a good heart. Zhengping, sit down, and I'll pour you a glass of water." He hurried into the room up.

Looking at Lin Yu'er's hurried back and the indistinct blush on his face just now, a faint smile flashed in He Zhengping's heart, but he immediately suppressed this feeling after he realized the sweet smile. When he got to the bottom of his heart, he turned around and talked to Lin Dashan.

Lin Yu'er got a cup of hot tea and brought it out to He Zhengping: "Be careful, it's a little hot."

He Zhengping took the water glass from Lin Yuer's hand, consciously or unconsciously avoiding Lin Yuer's hand, "Thank you, I will be careful."

Seeing He Zhengping's suddenly distant attitude, Lin Yu'er felt a little strange. The heat in her heart suddenly cooled down, she smiled at He Zhengping with the corners of her mouth open, and then turned to talk to Gu Qiu.

At dinner, Gu Qiu asked He Zhengping to stay for dinner: "Zhengping, why don't you stay for dinner today, Gu Dong, go and invite Dr. He over, so that you don't have to start a business again."

"This is too much trouble for you."

"What's the trouble? Anyway, Mr. Wang and Xiaoqi are coming to eat, just need to add two more pairs of chopsticks." Gu Qiu said enthusiastically.

Unexpectedly, He Zhengping shook his head, "No, the family has already cooked rice, let's come to your house for dinner in a few days."

Now that He Zhengping said so, Gu Qiu naturally wouldn't force it anymore, "That's fine, you can go back first. I'll send some more when my family's candied fruit comes out next time." Said and put Lin Yu'er in the box. Pass the candied dates to He Zhengping.

Seeing He Zhengping's walking figure, Lin Yu'er inexplicably felt a little sore in her heart, fearing that Gu Qiu who was standing beside her would see that Lin Yu'er lowered her head and hid in the kitchen.

@@@@@@@@@@@@

Lin Dashan's family only kept a small part of the processed soybeans and corn, and the rest were shipped to the grain store in the county town for sale.

"Brother, don't be too busy, sit down and rest for a while." Lin Dashan looked at Lin Yuer who was feeding the chicken and said.

Lin Yuer took a look at Lin Dashan, put down the things in his hands, wiped his hands, looked at Lin Dashan and said, "What's the matter, do you have something to tell me?" Lin Yuer said to her younger brother The most familiar, looking at the expression on his younger brother's face, he knew that Lin Dashan had something to say to him.

Lin Dashan smiled because his brother guessed what was on his mind, and pulled Lin Yuer to sit on a stone bench under the jujube tree, "Brother, you know me best, you can always guess what I think. "As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lin Yu'er's hand.

Lin Yuer opened the purse and found that it was a few taels of silver. Lin Yuer looked at Lin Dashan suspiciously and said, "Dashan, what do you mean by that? Why did you give me the money?"

Looking at Lin Yuer's puzzled and somewhat unhappy expression, Lin Dashan quickly explained: "Brother, don't think about it. The eight acres of wasteland in our family is yours, and the natural harvest is also yours. The money is mine. What you get from selling grain is supposed to be handed over to you."

Lin Yuer shook his head and still refused to accept the money. He returned the money bag in his hand to Lin Dashan, and said in disagreement: "We are all a family, so there is no need to divide it so clearly. You should leave the money to Gu Qiu to keep it." .”

Lin Dashan naturally knew his brother's temperament, so he stuffed things into Lin Yu'er's hands without any explanation, and said seriously: "Brother, since we are a family, it is normal for you to help collect the money. I will leave this The money is in your hands, and you are not allowed to refuse any more."

Didn't Lin Yu'er know that this was just an excuse Lin Dashan made to make him accept it, but he knew that today Lin Dashan would never take the money back anyway, so he smiled and accepted the money bag, and waited Return the money when you have a chance in the future, "You... well, I will keep it for you for the time being. If you want to use it in the future, you can get it from me."

Lin Dashan smiled innocently, watching Yu'er put away the money with satisfaction.

"You came to me just to tell me about this. After talking, I'm going to feed the chickens." Lin Yu'er was thinking about the chores at home, patted her clothes and stood up, intending to continue feeding the chickens.

Lin Dashan hastily grabbed Lin Yuer's sleeve: "Hey, brother, let's sit down and chat for a while. It's been a long time since we brothers sat down and had a good talk."

Hearing this, Lin Yuer sat down again, looking at her tall and strong brother, Lin Yuer felt strange.The two brothers have been very close since they were young, but it's never happened for two people to sit and talk heart to heart. How can we talk about heart to heart today.What Lin Dashan said today made him feel a little weird, could it be...

"Dashan, did you have a quarrel with Gu Qiu, he is now..." Lin Yuer worriedly persuaded.

As soon as Lin Dashan heard Lin Yuer's words, he knew that he was thinking wrong, "Brother, no, I just want to ask you why you seem to be always unhappy recently. What's on your mind?"

Lin Yu'er raised her head in shock, she didn't expect Lin Dashan to ask this question.Lin Dashan is a rough man, how can he see what is on his mind, I am afraid that Gu Qiu has noticed it, and has no intention of mentioning it to Lin Dashan.Lin Dashan only asked.

Lin Yu'er raised a smiling face, "I was thinking about those fruits in the back mountain. I was worried because I had money but didn't make money. I have nothing to worry about, you are really fussing."

Lin Dashan showed a smiling face knowingly, "Brother, I will accompany you to the back mountain in the afternoon, don't worry."

Lin Yu'er looked at her younger brother, and the dull melancholy in her heart dissipated a lot.He should be content with the love of his own family, and he shouldn't think too much or be too greedy.
