Looking at the hens in the big bamboo baskets behind him, Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's move these things inside for you." Then the two boys went back and forth several times and moved several baskets into the courtyard under the surprised eyes of everyone.

After all the chickens were counted, the two boys began to weigh the mushrooms. The mushrooms had been sorted and packed when they were purchased yesterday, so weighing them was very fast.

The mushrooms were sold for a total of 27 taels of silver. After deducting the 4 taels of silver for the 50 hens and the door-to-door service fee of one tael, the total was 22 taels of silver.

Since he still had to buy mushrooms and it was inconvenient to collect money, Gu Qing asked for all the copper coins.

After the two parties paid the money and the two boys drove away, the old lady came back to her senses and asked Gu Qing.

"Here, is it true that someone has taken advantage of someone and paid a high price for this mushroom?"

"Yes, Grandma, I told you that now I am doing a serious business and you still don't believe it. Look at the blow you gave me on my back. I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep all night long."

Gu Qing said carelessly, but she didn't get angry with the old lady. The old lady was also afraid that she would do whatever she wanted and that she would beat her because she hated iron. Before she came here, Gu Qing was an only child. She had a good relationship with her grandparents since she was a child.

She loves her but doesn't dote on her. Every time Gu Qing makes a mistake, her grandparents still chase her around the village with a broom.

This is the love of the elders, Gu Qing understands it, but the love is too heavy and some cannot bear it.

Thinking of the cruelty she had dealt yesterday, Mrs. Gu felt extremely distressed: "It's my fault. I hit you by mistake yesterday. I apologize to you..."

"Nai, what are you doing?" Gu Qing came out with a basket of chickens, "Nai, I will ask Apei to deliver these chickens to you when you go back. You can kill them directly or keep them to lay eggs.

As you wish!”

"How can this happen? My old lady doesn't want it. You are a big family with so many mouths to eat. I still have your two uncles to support you. Now that you have a profitable business, I am relieved. Even if you die in the future,

Now I can go see your parents with peace of mind." Mrs. Gu rubbed her eyes, wiped away her tears, and walked towards her tremblingly.

Gu Qing quickly asked Yang Pei to follow him holding the chicken frame.

The two of them walked to Lao Gu's house, where the whole family was enjoying the cool weather in the yard.

"You went to Gu Qing's place so early in the morning?" Old Mrs. Gu looked at the chicken coop in Yang Pei's hand, "Why did you buy so many chickens?"

Yang Pei smiled and said: "Sir, I didn't buy this. The head of the family asked me to send it to you."

"Why are you insisting on following me back after you said no?" Old Mrs. Gu muttered: "There are so many of you, Gu Yu and Gu Nuo are still young, so hurry up and take it back."

"Grandma, you know the master's temper. If I take it back now, the master might get angry and go shopping in the flower house again."

When the old lady thought that it was possible for that bastard Gu Qing to do such a thing, she had no choice but to accept it, "Now that the head of your family has changed, you can live a good life from now on, and those two boys Dong Rong will leave as soon as they leave."

Dong Rong and the others have not been seen in the fields in the past few days. It was only after Mrs. Gu asked Gu Nuo privately that she found out that Gu Qing had divorced Hehe. There were many people and many people opened their mouths. If you want to make peace, just make peace.

Both sides can have an easier time.

Yang Pei put the chicken coop in the yard and went back. After seeing the mushrooms sold for so much money, he had to go back and do more work, leaving Zhu Han and Mo Li free to go out to pick mushrooms.

The second daughter-in-law, Ms. Sun, looked at the chicken coop and gasped. There are ten chickens. How much money does it cost? When did the eldest niece become so generous?

Mrs. Gu entered the room and said to Mr. Gu: "Gu Qing has finally become sensible, and she is becoming more and more open and generous in her work. She is really different from before."

Old Man Gu smoked dry tobacco and said, "I guess she woke up after being beaten. Can she really make money by collecting those mushrooms?"

Mrs. Gu nodded: "No, I saw it with my own eyes. There are still more than 20 taels left after paying for 50 chickens. I estimate that after excluding the money for harvesting mushrooms, we should be able to make a lot of money. We are all honest people."

The farmer who is divided has never done business, so I can’t teach her anything. Let her slowly explore on her own..."

Gu Qing has been doing math.

From the 22 taels of silver she received, excluding the unsettled 9 taels, she earned more than a dozen taels in one day.

You know, in this era, the income of farmers in this era is only four or five taels of silver a year, and this is when the weather is good.

Gu Yu and Gu Nuo excitedly sat beside them and counted the money.

Yang Pei was stunned: "It's 22 taels of silver in total. Mother, how can you earn so much in one day!"

Zhu Han and Mo Li also looked in disbelief: "It only costs 20 cents to carry a big bag a day, and 60 cents to copy books. We have made so much just collecting mushrooms. Our family is going to become rich!"

Gu Qing: "..."

Can these people put away their inexperienced appearance?

She said angrily: "We still owe the villagers 22 taels of silver and 9 taels of silver have not yet been settled. Why are you happy?"

Gu Yu and Gu Nuo's faces immediately fell.

But when I thought about still having more than half the money left, especially with the forty chickens in the yard, I immediately became happy again.

Gu Nuo asked cautiously: "Sister, can we have chicken for lunch?"

Gu Qing put away the copper plate and said, "Yes, Zhu Han, you can come back early at noon, kill three chickens, let everyone eat enough, and clip the wings of the rest and raise them to lay eggs."

"Great, elder sister, can you chop the chicken legs?" Last time, there were too many people in the half chicken, so Zhu Han chopped the chicken legs into small pieces as well.

"Yes, I have three chickens. I will chop them into 6 large chicken drumsticks and 6 small chicken drumsticks for you to eat to your heart's content!"

"Sister, you are so kind!" Gu Nuo looked at Gu Qing with bright eyes, which were very beautiful.

He is too thin and short. Looking at the sallow appearance of everyone in the family, hey, it is all his fault.

Mo Li carried a basket on his back and went out to dig wild vegetables for the chickens to eat. Yang Pei was clipping the wings of the chickens. If they didn't cut half of the feathers, they would easily fly away and escape.

Zhu Han went to the kitchen to spread white flour pancakes and had breakfast so that he could go to the mountain to pick mushrooms.

"Brother Zhu, spread out more pancakes. Xiaonuo and I will take them up the mountain to eat. We won't be back at noon."

"No, it's not safe for you two to be young in the mountains. You have to come back at noon!" She has a shopping mall in hand and can make money no matter what, but she can't let her children take risks.

As soon as Gu Qing raised her eyes, she saw Yang Pei squatting on the ground trimming chicken feathers. She was still wearing the old clothes that had been washed and turned white and were covered with patches. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that no one except herself had worn the ones she bought last time.

New clothes.

There are still too few clothes and I can’t bear to wear them.

"What is the head of the family thinking about?" Yang Pei felt that Gu Qing had been staring at him for a long time. When he turned around, he found that he was thinking too much. Gu Qing was always facing his direction, but his eyes were blank.

daze.

"How much money do I want to make so that we can completely improve our lives, so that you don't have to wear patched clothes, have meat every day, and build a big brick house before winter."
