Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 139 139 Strange Guest
He had just put the sorghum into the warehouse, so even if he wanted to sell it, he would have to wait for the guards to collect the tax grain.

From this, it can be fully seen that this person is definitely not a crop grower!

Everyone who grows crops knows that before the grain tax is collected, the grain cannot be moved, and even if they want to buy seeds, it will be after the grain tax is paid!
Jiang Hu wondered, who is this person? Does he want to eat sorghum from their village?
It's not right, this person doesn't know Fu'an Village at first glance, doesn't know that their village is blessed by lucky stars, and the food is better than outside.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been holding on to Shopkeeper Liu just now.

Then why did he buy so much sorghum?
The middle-aged man was also taken aback: "Grain tax?"

Then he slapped his head: "Yes, the food tax, the food tax has not been collected yet!"

"Brother Jiang Hu, which village are you from?"

Jiang Hu: "Fu'an Village is quite far from here."

"Fu'an Village, Fu'an Village." The middle-aged man muttered a few words, then patted the back of Jiang Hu's hand with a smile: "I made a note, I will come to you when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, without giving Jiang Hu a chance to continue talking, he grabbed the steamed buns brought by Xiao Ding just now, which he hadn't finished eating, turned around and left, still muttering something.

"Fu'an Village, Fu'an Village, Jiang Hu..."

When the people walked out, Jiang Hu looked at Shopkeeper Liu and Master Zhang inexplicably: "Who is this man, do you know him?"

It feels weird.

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head: "It's very familiar, it's the first time I've seen you."

Operating the restaurant all the year round, Shopkeeper Liu has already developed a pair of piercing eyes, not to mention his memory, but it is almost the same.

As long as the customers who come to the store to consume, they only need to meet once or twice, they can leave some influence.

Master Zhang had already brewed a pot of sugar water at this time, seeing that they were still thinking about the stranger, he said hastily.

"Okay, okay, whoever he is, you can buy things without giving money, come on, come on, try this sugar water first, it smells so good!"

After speaking, he took a quick sip and his eyes lit up.

That's right, the main reason is that it is very fragrant, and there is a delicate fragrance that I don't know how to describe.

Only Jiang Hu knew that it was the smell of sorghum stalks, and the juiced sorghum stalks were later used by him to feed the cows. Not to mention, the big buffaloes were quite happy to eat them.

Jiang Hu had already tasted the taste yesterday, plus eating good food at home every day, he was much calmer than Master Zhang and Shopkeeper Liu.

But just as he was about to serve the cup, he realized that the wooden barrel was still in his arms.

Suddenly a little ashamed, and quickly put it aside.

Several people drank a pot of sugar water, even though they still felt that it was not enjoyable, they still resisted the urge to make another pot.

Master Zhang is a cook who is most sensitive to the taste of food.

Putting down the bowl, he smacked his mouth a few times, his eyes brightened.

"Produce body fluid to quench thirst. I've been a little angry these days, and my throat feels uncomfortable. After drinking a bowl of this sugar water, it's actually much better!"

Quite surprised.

Shopkeeper Liu also nodded: "This sugar water is really comfortable to drink."

As for the price, Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a moment.

"Brother Jiang Hu, this thing is a good thing. We have cooperated for so many years, and we won't give you a fake. In this way, 20 taels, this whole tank!"

Jiang Hu was instantly shocked: "Two, 20 taels?"

Even Master Zhang was surprised. He glanced at the big syrup tank and suddenly regretted it.

If I had known earlier, I would have made another pot just now. It was so expensive, and I would definitely not be able to eat it casually in the future.

Shopkeeper Liu nodded: "That's right, but Brother Jiang Hu, you don't have to be polite to me. Since I give you this price, I can earn it back."

Jiang Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although he did save a little money in the past few years, it was all accumulated bit by bit.

At most, it was only one month, and there was only four or five taels of silver, and that was earned by selling eels, not every month.

But this time he earns 20 taels at once, even if he splits up with the Liu family, there are still [-] taels left!

I can't even dream of it.

Shopkeeper Liu, on the other hand, skipped the syrup and started looking at the old turtle.

"And this old turtle..."

"Shopkeeper Liu, I won't sell this."

Shopkeeper Liu was interrupted by Jiang Hu before he finished speaking.

As soon as this remark came out, let alone Shopkeeper Liu and Master Zhang, even Jiang Hu himself was stunned.

Then he waved his hands again and again: "That's not what I mean, I mean, I don't sell all of them."

The two were even more confused.

"Brother Jiang Hu, you only have one, why don't you sell it all?"

Jiang Hu paused, and finally figured out what to say.

"It's like this. This turtle was caught by some children in the family. This is the first time they have caught it."

"I just thought that I should give the children a taste, but there are so many children in our family that we can't finish eating such a big turtle, and it can't be too nourishing."

"So I thought, sell it to you, but, if you kill it, just leave me about half a catty, and the money will be deducted directly. I will take the half catty home and make soup for everyone to taste."

He didn't dare to feed the children too much, but it's okay to taste some. He himself has lived for more than [-] years, and he hasn't tasted the taste of the old turtle yet.

Master Zhang looked at shopkeeper Liu. Although he thought there was no problem, he couldn't make the decision on this matter. It still had to be up to the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while and said, "This is not a problem, but such a big old turtle cannot be eaten in one meal."

"How about this, old turtle, 15 taels of silver, including half a catty left for you, but I'm not busy killing it for now, I'll put it at the entrance of the restaurant, reserve a place, wait three days before killing the stewed soup, and you will deliver the food in the morning, It’s just right to take half a catty of you back with you.”

With the impact of the 20 taels of syrup and the 15 taels of the old turtle, Jiang Hu felt a little numb.

But shopkeeper Liu said before that since he gave the price, there must be some profit.

As for when to take his half catty, he is not in a hurry, anyway, the family is not in a hurry to eat it.

After negotiating the price, the shopkeeper went back to his room in the courtyard and brought Jiang Hu three ten taels of silver ingots and five taels of silver.

There are many people outside, so much money is too eye-catching and too dangerous.

When Jiang Hu left, his legs were a little fluttering. This feeling of carrying a huge sum of money was really exciting.

Fortunately, after leaving the restaurant and being blown by the wind, he calmed down a lot.

Take a deep breath, so that you don't act like you haven't seen the world, isn't it just money, and you can earn more in the future!
Thinking about it this way, his expression was much more natural.

Then, with the bucket in hand, he went to the back alley to drive his ox cart.

After earning money, Jiang Hu wanted to buy something to go home, but after looking around, he found that there was nothing to buy, and the family now has no shortage of food.

I simply bought two bolts of coarse cloth, one gray and black, the other a little blue, and some cotton cloth, which can be used as an inner coat.

I also bought Erni three plain handkerchiefs and a little colored cotton thread for her embroidery.

When I was about to go back, I saw someone picking out a few ducklings and geese. Thinking that there was a river in front of my house, I bought a few of them.
