Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 49
"Then go back and ask, can you sell me a hundred fresh eggs today? I don't want chickens now, and the house hasn't been built yet." Ding Shitou looked at Jiang Huzi excitedly.

"A hundred eggs?" Jiang Huzi was startled, and then smiled, "My family can sell you two for a penny, and you can sell one for a penny in the market."

"You don't need to sell it to me at a very cheap price. You can sell it as you usually sell it." Ding Shitou said quickly.

"It's okay, my family is the only one in the village that can sell this price. Others' homes don't have so many eggs, so they won't make small profits but sell them quickly." Jiang Huzi didn't care, "I'll go back and ask, and if there are a hundred eggs, I'll tell you. Wait a day without you."

It seems that Jiang Huzi still understands the situation of raising chickens at home, and Dang even gave a backup plan.

Ding Shitou nodded, watching Jiang Huzi run home, thinking quickly.This is the best way at present, but she has to borrow money to make money, and she can't get cash.

"Boss." Ding Dian came back and was walking towards her.

"How?" Ding Shitou stood where he was and waited.It's empty and no one is moving around, just talking.

"A big bed for a wife is the cheapest one tael, two or three taels for good ones, three drawer tables for two taels of money, eight immortals tables are cheaper, stools and basins are cheaper, at least ten to fifty more."

Ding Dian told the price quotation that was asked.

"Well, although ten taels of silver can add seventy-eight eighty-eight to the most important furniture, we are debtors now, so we can't be so high-profile." Ding Shitou thought for a while and said.

"That's the reason." Ding Dian nodded immediately and let out a sigh of relief.

"Looking at your frowning all the way, are you worried about my spending money?" Ding Shitou was amused by his expression.

"I heard on the way back that you gave away our family's last dozen or so coins, and I was beaten. Why don't people pay us money?"

Ding Dian angrily rolled his eyes.

"Fool, what I gave was only a few dozen pennies, but what I got in return was the reputation of being a victim of humiliation. In the future, as long as that shrew bullies her again, we can bear it no longer."

"Are you paving the way for the next conflict?" Ding Dian raised her eyebrows, somewhat understanding.

"When did the boss suffer?" Ding Shitou raised his hand and patted Ding Dian's thin shoulder, explaining in a low voice.

"Today, I almost sent that woman to the whole village for public trial. If I really send her away, what will the villagers think of us?"

"I did this. In the Chen family, in the village, and in the village head, I was considerate of favors, gained a good reputation, and also gained friends who helped us. A dozen pennies, in exchange for so much, I got two slaps in the face. Good deal."

"The boss is still wise, I didn't think about it before." Ding Dian grinned a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, that's not important. When Brother Huzi comes back, let's decide what to do in the afternoon." Ding Shitou put his arm on Ding Dian's shoulders, and the two brothers walked back happily, explaining her plan.

When the buns were steaming, Jiang Huzi came back.

"Grandma said that the eggs at home have been saved for the past two days. It's better not to go to the city when you are busy with the chickens. You wait another day, and tomorrow I can gather a hundred for you."

"Okay, I'll go to your house early tomorrow morning to get eggs. I'll take as much as I have, and I'll give you money when I sell them." Ding Shitou immediately made a decision.

Jiang Huzi said "yes" without hesitation, which moved Ding Shitou very much. Obviously Jiang Huzi was helping the Ding family in this matter.

At noon, the teenagers were entertained with delicious buns. Everyone praised the three sisters, and Ding Shitou couldn't help laughing.
