Chapter 69: Make a Big Splash, But Keep a Low Profile!

orrow lodgings, with his noble status and his ancestors having connections with the Marquis, Jiayin wouldn't have arranged things like this...Originally, Lu Zong's excuse for treating illnesses was ju...She excitedly waved her hands, releasing a dozen rabbits one moment and a large plate of cherries the next. 。Rabbits are raised in the backyard. If they can be sold, it would lighten the burden on the small courtyard. 。As for the cherries, they originally grew in a corner of the yard, half dead and barely surviving. 。Jiayin didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly this year it actually sprouted and bloomed. Now, it has a full tree of cherries. 。It looks pretty good, with a sweet and sour taste. 。At this time, taking advantage of the novelty, it is likely that some silver could be sold. 。Seeing there was no greens, Li Laotai cautiously asked. 。"Fu Niu, do you still have any vegetables Can we sell them every day in the future" "Ah, ah..." 。Jia Yin nodded, pointed at the cherry who frowned. 。Because the cherries are too small, it's really difficult to pick them. 。Li Laotai was delighted and asked, "Is there that much green vegetable every day" Jiao Yin still nodded. The old woman's heart was at ease. 。Li Laosi was also happy. Although he didn't understand his daughter as well as his mother, he still understood a few things. 。"Mother, then I'll go back quickly." 。Brother Two and Liu Biao are still waiting. 。"Okay, remember to be careful on your way back." 。When asked, just say that you went to help the鏢局. 。"Li Laotai instructed carefully, “Someone in the city asked where the vegetables came from." 。You just say that there is water in the well at home, and the vegetable garden hasn't died. 。It can also be said that during the spring season when entering the mountains, some were planted beside the springs in deep mountains as well. 。"

Li Laosi nodded repeatedly, these words were actually thought-provoking. " 。But when that happens, it's good to just eat something. 。Who else can break the pot and ask to the bottom He came back in a hurry, and left quickly. 。The villagers, curious, lined up to draw water while asking Li Lao Tai. 。“Aunt, why did the fourth brother run so fast Is something wrong at home” “No, it’s the鏢局 who called him to help.” 。 。Perhaps bandits or robbers came from somewhere, but I didn't understand it either. 。Li Laotai waved her hand, speaking vaguely. 。The villagers, however, immediately imagined, envious of Li Lao Si's every trip as a money-making escort. 。It's not as easy to get this money now. 。Bandits and robbers are desperadoes, it's simply too dangerous to face them. 。They may not earn as much, but they don't have to work as hard either. 。

Thinking about it this way, many people feel a sense of balance in their hearts.

Li Laotai saw the expressions of everyone and didn't get angry. 。Human nature is like this, even if you get along well, there will always be comparisons between each other. 。But when compared, jealousy arises. 。I've always hoped you would be happy, but not happier than me. 。Although the Li family tries to keep a low profile, they are still too conspicuous among the villagers... But she certainly wouldn't want to gather her children and grandchildren to live off the land like everyone else in the village. 。So, be low-key in your actions and high-profile in your personality. 。Jiayin snuggled in her grandmother's arms, oblivious to the turmoil of thoughts swirling in her grandmother's mind. She was preoccupied with tidying up the vegetable patch in their small courtyard. 。A simple calculation shows that it will rain tomorrow, and it will take another half month for each household to grow vegetables. 。That is to say, robbing money at home... bah bah, the golden period for selling vegetables at home is half a month. 。A penny saved is a penny earned. 。The seeds she had sown in the fields before now can all be harvested. 。But mostly they were leafy greens like spinach, bok choy and Chinese cabbage, and even in the small vegetable garden, there weren't many cucumbers, eggplants or green beans. 。Now I'm a little regretful, if only I had divided one or two mu of land to grow vegetables...But one shouldn't be too greedy. 。With just these, if they sell smoothly, it'll be enough for a year's worth of expenses at home. 。In the county town, Li Laoliu and Zhou Guanchang had been waiting for Li Laosi. 。Hearing that the Li family could send this much produce every day, and even fresh cherries, Zhou Guan was overjoyed. He quickly calculated the profit... 。He was about to take Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si to look for people to sell vegetables, but Li Lao Si stopped him. 。"Zhou brother, our family is just an ordinary farming household" 。At this point, taking out the greens is too eye-catching. 。If someone were to forcefully buy our house, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to handle it. 。How about you help me sell these greens from now on 。We give Yicheng money as a commission for doing chores. 。What do you think"

Zhou Guan, after a moment of surprise, his mind whirring, his eyes lit up

He was originally helping to connect people, but now that he can make a profit for himself, of course it's even better. 。But he couldn't agree so easily, as if money was his top priority. 。So, he shook his head repeatedly and politely declined. 。Liu the鏢 head's appearance was rough and he wasn't a simple man either, at this moment he saw that Zhou, the manager, was held back by his face. 。Looking at the Li brothers again, they were truly sincere in their concessions. He just slapped Zhou Guan two times and complained, saying... 。"We're all brothers, no need to be so formal." 。Don't say you don't give yourself a little pocket money when you shop around every day Brother Li is sincere, so just stop being difficult. 。"It's serious business to sell the vegetables quickly!" Zhou Guanchang was slapped on his back, causing him pain. He gritted his teeth and agreed. 。Okay, okay, I agreed. 。He rubbed his lower back and instructed Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si 。“This car is a green one, so I’ll take it first.” 。Rest assured, within an hour, I guarantee I'll be back. 。"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Zhou ge." >。"

Li Lao'er and Li Lao'si weren't worried either, after all, Liu Biao Tou was there. Zhou Guan Shi wouldn't dare to take things away. " 。After sending off Zhou Guan, Liu Biaotou and Li Laosi started fighting. 。The Liu family didn't lack anything, their weapons were complete. 。After the archery contest, they sparred with fists and feet. 。Seeing Li Laoer often cheered, for the first time he looked up to his younger brother like this. 。On weekdays, we only saw him going up the mountain to hunt chickens and rabbits, but who would have thought that he was so capable. 。It's no wonder Liu Biāotou is particularly protective of their family. With a skilled brother like him, it must be beneficial to the鏢局 as well. 。Zhou Guan's word was his bond, he came back within an hour. 。He was beaming, his smile reaching his ears. 。"Li Erge, Si Ge, simply overjoyed!" 。“Everyone heard him change his title and guessed that the vegetables must be selling very well.” 。That is indeed the case. 。Zhou Guan drove his carriage to the door of a familiar teahouse. The city was short of water, and the teahouse was barely surviving; it was about to close. 。Zhou Guan gave two young lads a handful of copper coins, sending them off to hire someone. 。Junyang County wasn't large; it was almost within two quarters of an hour. Five or six familiar officials in charge had all come running. 。These people were all buyers for wealthy families in the city. They occasionally met, chatted over tea, and exchanged news with each other, so they became familiar. 。Zhou Guan was the least conspicuous among them, because the鏢局 (mutual protection agency) paled in comparison to the wealth and prestige of various prominent families. 。Had he not said he had greens earlier, these people would not have arrived so quickly. 。When you see the fresh green vegetables with your own eyes, the crystal cucumbers, the eggplant, the emerald green string beans and snap peas. 。Everyone was excited, it wasn't a wasted trip! These things, they were all delivered to the mansion from the farm every day before... 。But such a severe drought, the village faced water shortages, and they had only sent out a few batches of vegetables since the beginning of spring. 。Now the household is relying on dried vegetables and wood ears to get by, the young masters are throwing tantrums and refusing to eat, while the elders have mouth ulcers from worrying. 。Three meals a day are really putting the cooks to the test. 。If I bring the greens back today, my master will be pleased. 。They took the rewards as secondary, for the sake of being known in front of their master. The real benefit was the future good fortune that followed. 。Half a cart of vegetables was almost devoured in the blink of an eye, and there were even complaints that it wasn't enough. 。But hearing that there will be more tomorrow, the crowd finally seemed satisfied. 。
