The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 239 Zheng Yang

Mr. Zheng is the father of Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng's second grandson, and Mr. Zheng's second son. Zhulan only met the grandson of the Zheng family when he was seeing him off. The children of the Zheng family followed Mr. Zheng. Not at all like a general.

Zhulan asked, "You're here, who will entertain you?"

Zhou Laodao said: "Father just came back and ran into him at the door. He welcomed me to the front yard. He asked me to invite mother."

Zhulan was surprised, Zhou Shuren came back, what a coincidence, invited her over, is it her business? She didn't expect the boss to hear anything, so she asked Xuemei to find Zhao Shi and Xuehan, and followed Boss Zhou to the front yard.

Ever since we moved, the first room and the second room have been completely separated. Mrs. Li loves to join her, but Mrs. Zhao doesn’t come here much. Mingrui is one year old. , Mrs. Zhao and her second sister-in-law learned to embroider screens and are trying to embroider large pieces. Xuehan is following suit and gets together with Mrs. Zhao every day.

Zhulan went to the front yard and saw Master Zheng's second grandson, whose name was Yang, Zheng Yang.

Zheng Yang stood up, "Hello, Auntie."

Zhulan asked, "It's only been a month since you left, so you must not have returned to the northwest, why did the old man ask you to come back?"

Zheng Yang thought to himself, no wonder grandpa is optimistic about the Zhou family, even women have such reactions, the Zhou family is indeed good, "I came back because of my aunt."

Zhulan sat down and looked at Zhou Shuren, Zhulan didn't get a reminder, it seems that Zheng Yang didn't say why she came back before she came, and when she met and talked, she didn't feel that she had anything worthy of the old man's attention, not on herself , then the external cause, squinting his eyes, "For the dried vegetables, or for the ointment?"

Zheng Yang praised in his heart, and he tested again, and Yang was indeed not an ordinary woman, "Auntie is smart, both of them, the plaster that Auntie gave Brother Yang is surprisingly effective, grandpa asked me to come back and talk to Doctor Lu, as for dried vegetables , the northwest is always in war, there are very few farmers, and green vegetables are rare in summer, let alone winter."

Zheng Yang paused and continued: "Grandpa saw that the dried vegetables my aunt brought to Brother Yang were good, so let me collect some dried vegetables and mountain products to take away."

Zhulan sighed again, Mr. Zheng is shrewd, the ointment must be obtained, the ointment that has no eyes and swords can save lives, whether you keep it at home, or offer it to the Zheng family, it can benefit the Zheng family, and there is a shortage of vegetables in the northwest, just right By the way, it is also good to collect some, take them home to eat, or give them as gifts.

Of course, there are also merchants selling dried vegetables in the northwest, but the variety she gave away naturally caught Mr. Zheng's eyes.

She brought wild fungus for Wu Chun and the others,

Mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, dried bracken, spinach, dried radish, dried day lily, and dried dandelion are all good for making tea soup, which has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.

These things are collected in summer, most of them are wild vegetables, except for mushrooms and fungus which are sold in grocery stores, there are really no others.

Zhulan said, "Auntie will also give you a good idea. Hericium erinaceus and dried dandelions are only available at my aunt and my daughter's house. You can get dried daylilies and so on. The monkey heads in the nearby villages are all sold by my aunt. Received."

The yield of wild Hericium erinaceus is small. If the soup is not handled properly after drying, the stew will be a bit bitter. It is not as popular as mushrooms. Bamboo orchids are not as much as they are harvested.

As for the dried dandelion, Zhulan just wants to make tea. In the Northeast, the fire wall is burned indoors to dry it in winter, and it is easy to get angry. The dandelion tea just goes to the fire, so it has been dried a lot. Chinese medicine shops also have dried dandelion, but the amount is not too big. .

Zheng Yang said: "Please also ask my aunt to sell me some Hericium erinaceus and dried dandelions, and I will collect the rest in various villages."

Grandpa likes hericium erinaceus stew very much. When he was still in Lijia Village, he picked it from the mountains every year. Grandpa would keep it and eat it slowly. When he came back, he specially asked him to collect more. After all, the whole family just wanted to leave quickly. Yes, I never thought of collecting some to take away with me.

Zhulan's family has no shortage of money to sell Hericium erinaceus and dried dandelions, and when the time comes, I will send some to the Zheng family. Zhulan asks the price for her daughter, "I wonder how much my nephew's other dried vegetables cost?"

The daughter's family followed her all summer and also dried a lot of dried vegetables. They originally ate them for themselves in winter, but they didn't expect to make a fortune.

Zheng Yang came back yesterday. He had already gone to the grocery store to inquire about the prices. Unfortunately, the grocery store only had mushrooms and fungus, and the quantity was not particularly large. Every farmer would stock some, and few people bought them.

The big households in the county will buy them specially, and rarely go to the grocery store to buy them.

Zheng Yang said: "Mushroom fungus costs eight cents a catty, Hericium erinaceus fifty cents, bracken six cents, yellow flower ten cents, dandelion ten cents, spinach eight cents, and dried radish four cents."

Zhulan wanted to vomit blood when she heard the price. Bawen, fungus and mushrooms are the purchase price of a grocery store. It weighed a lot, really not heavy, only a little over three catties in total, and a lot was caught and brought to Wu Chun.

The same is true for dandelions and spinach, these things do not weigh, and the price is too low.

Zhulan shook her head, "Let's not talk about fungus mushrooms, other things are too low, a few catties can't be dried, Hericium erinaceus is less dried and has no weight, Hericium erinaceus is one hundred cents per catty, day lily fifty Wen is a catty, bracken is 20 Wen, dandelion is 30 Wen, spinach is 20 Wen, radish is 5 Wen.”

Zheng Yang intentionally calculated other prices based on mushroom prices, which are not available in the main market. Naturally, he had to find out first. Although the Zheng family is rich, he just wanted to lower the price. Well, this is why grandpa asked him to come back to collect it. Because of his temperament, he will not suffer, and he wants to take advantage of it.

Zhulan stood up as if not talking, "My nephew is back, I'll go prepare the meals."

Saying that, Zhulan left, she knew clearly, if the old man of the Zheng family dared to let a grandson back, Zheng Yang must be good at calculating.

You know, Mr. Lu is also a human sperm, and he is very difficult to deal with. Zheng Yang dares to talk about medicine alone, and his ability is not small. Zhou Shuren should leave the rest to Zhou Shuren.

Zheng Yang, "......"

Zhou Shuren received Zhulan's hint, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for farmers all year round. In the past, no one harvested wild vegetables. This year, it's rare to add some money to the family. Although it is not much, it can also add clothes to the children in the family. Live a prosperous life." In the first year, nephew, don’t press too hard, give a fair price in the first year, and the old man will collect more in the next year, and the money spent on collecting these dry goods is insignificant compared to the benefits it brings."

Regardless of the fact that mountain goods are very common, they must have the greatest value in the hands of the old man, otherwise he would not have deliberately asked his grandson to accept them.

Zheng Yang looked at Zhou Xiucai, and it was indeed as his grandfather said, a fox that is difficult to deal with, first he said that the peasants’ life is difficult, and finally he guessed his grandfather’s plan, he pursed his lips, knowing in his heart that what the Zhou family said about the price fair price.

Zheng Yang said: "That's the price set by my aunt. I'm going to disturb my uncle's house these days, and please spread the news about the dry goods. I want to borrow my uncle's place to collect dry goods. Please trouble uncle."

Zhou Shuren smiled: "I'll let your aunt clean up the house for you."

Zheng Yang felt uncomfortable. It used to be his own home, but now he is a guest when he comes back. He can't go back to his own room. "Please trouble uncle."

Just as Zhulan asked Ming Teng to find Mrs. Li, Boss Zhou came over, "Mother, Dad told Zheng Yang to live in the house, by the way, Dad also asked me to publicize that Zheng Yang will borrow our place to collect mountain goods tomorrow." Mom, the price is set according to what you said."

The corners of Zhulan's mouth turned up, she knew that Zhou Shuren would be able to handle it.
