Time could not be delayed any longer, and Father Lin had to stop them.
Under Lin's father's repeated scolding, Lin Qi cried and said, "Dad, if you dig some, my brother will have the money to marry his wife."
"Nonsense, this money is far from enough." Lin's father scolded him sternly.
"Daddy is lying, daddy is lying." Lin Qi looked at Mother Lin with tears in her eyes.
Although Lin Si didn't speak, his expression changed drastically.
"Daddy didn't lie to you." Mother Lin said softly.
Lin Qi stared at Mother Lin and said bitterly, "That mother is lying to us."
Mother Lin shook her head and said, "Mom didn't lie to you. We did find money for my brother to marry his wife, but one day is not enough. It takes many, many talents."
Lin Qi's tears turned into smiles, and Lin Si's expression turned from gloomy to clear.
Lin Qi and Lin's father smiled at each other. They picked up a pick of monster yams and walked down the path in a happy mood.
However, when the family just came to the avenue, the vendors on the roadside were packing up the chicken bus and preparing to go down the mountain.
Lin Si became anxious and shouted loudly: "Uncle, uncle, there are still monster taros here, there are still monster taros here."
"There are too many of you, and the chicken bus can no longer fit in it." A vendor looked at their baskets of monster yams piled into a hill and shook his head.
Another vendor looked at the weather and saw that the sun had begun to set. He urged: "Go quickly, go quickly, it will get dark if you don't go."
Lin Qi cried and wiped her tears. She looked at the merchant pitifully and said, "Uncle, uncle, do well. My brother still relies on this to get a wife."
"Pfft, pfft." The vendor was amused by Lin Qi's cute appearance and looked at him several times.
He looked at the people in the Lin family, shook his head and said: "There are too many of you. We will continue to purchase them tomorrow. Anyway, the demon taro can last for a month without any problems, and it will not go bad."
Hearing his words, the Lin family's parents felt a little relieved and hoped that the vendors would arrive as soon as possible tomorrow.
The Lin family father and son carried the demon taro into the gate of the village, but were stopped by Ding, the village's son.
"Stop, pay the fee and go in." The village leader said while holding a long gun to prevent them from entering.
Father Lin looked at the two village men, frowned, and put down his burden.
He held up his hands to the two of them and said, "Master Ding, I haven't had time to sell my demon taro yet, so I really don't have the money to pay."
A village member looked at their family members and said, "Everyone else pays, why don't you?"
"It was too late and they couldn't load it into their car, so they didn't have time to sell it," Lin's father said, pointing to the burden of demon taro.
The two villagers looked at each other, then at their families, and nodded.
One of them said: "Seeing that you are acquaintances, I will let you in today. You must sell it next time before you can go back."
Father Lin couldn't help but get furious. It's unreasonable for you to charge protection fees. If you don't sell, you have to force the sale.
"How much will you pay this time?" Thinking of this, he asked coldly.
Seeing Lin's father's unkind tone, Zhai Ding paused his spear and wanted to stab Lin's father.
But he took it back midway and said coldly: "Thirty percent."
"Why don't you go and grab it!" Father Lin wanted to say this, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them in the end.
When the two villagers saw the Lin family entering the village gate, one spat and said coldly: "Poor guy."
The Lin family father and son couldn't help but sigh as they carried the load home.
They originally wanted to dig more monster yams, but they didn't expect that not only were they exhausted, but they still hadn't sold them for a penny.
The family ate in a hurry and did not take a shower. Instead, they wiped their sweat and washed their feet before going to bed.
In fact, they were so tired that they should take a shower.
But after all, the mountains are no better than the mountains. The water is still a bit tight, so we have to save it.
Although Lin's father and Lin's mother went to bed, they couldn't rest for a while, and they were really worried and scared.
They dug up so many monster yams, so many, what if the other party doesn't buy them?
The two of them tossed and turned, not falling deeply into sleep until midnight.
Two brothers, Lin Si and Lin Qi, slept in the same bed. Although Lin Qi went to bed early last night, she got up earlier.
As a result, while he was brushing his teeth with wicker, his younger brother Lin Qi also woke up.
He also hurriedly washed his face and brushed his teeth, and asked eagerly: "Brother, let me go and see if the merchant is here?"
The two of them hurriedly ate the sour sorghum rice and arrived at the arch bridge. It was a quarter past seven.
At this time, the sun is rising, the scenery is beautiful, and the birds are chirping, it should be a pleasure to watch.
But the two brothers frowned. Since there were no vendors on the bridge, why didn't they come?
There is an octagonal pavilion above the village gate, which not only serves to observe the terrain and look out, but also protects the village gate.
There were six villagers above. They couldn't help laughing when they saw their brothers getting up so early to wait for the traders.
One of them stood the spear in his hand on the city wall, looked at the two brothers, and mocked: "It's so early, the merchant is still sleeping with his wife under the quilt."
"Seventh brother, it's still early, let's go back." Lin Si looked at the sky and said to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi looked around, feeling a little disappointed.
"Brother, isn't it just right for us to move the demon taro here?" He suddenly said to his brother.
Half an hour later, Lin Si picked up the demon taro here, and Lin Qi kept craning his neck to look at the mountain road.
Tap tap, tap tap the sound of the chicken bus finally came from the foot of the mountain, and Lin Qi jumped up with joy.
Over a cup of tea, the traders finally came to the village. Sure enough, they were the same traders as yesterday.
The tall man with the beard from yesterday was still there. He looked at the two brothers and asked with a smile: "How long have you been here?"
"Uncle, if you don't come, I will cry. We have been waiting for half an hour." Lin Qi wiped her tears and said with a smile.
"Okay, just say this to you, and I will be the first to acquire you today." The bearded man touched Lin Qi's face.
He took out a bunch of candied haws, handed it to Lin Qi, and said, "This is to reward you."
Lin Qi looked at Lin Si. Lin Si swallowed his saliva and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Lin Qi took the candied haws on a stick and ran home happily.
Father Lin and mother Lin were sighing sadly about Lin Si, while Lin Ba was washing the face of his six-year-old brother Lin Jiu.
When Lin Ba and Lin Jiu saw the candied haws in Lin Qi's hand, they were immediately petrified and stared at it without blinking.
Mother Lin looked at the candied haws with shining eyes. Father Lin's face was obviously unhappy and asked: "Qilang, where did you get the candied haws? Didn't my parents say not to take other people's things? Why don't you listen to your parents?"
After saying that, he was going to hit Lin Qi.
Lin Qi turned to look towards the village gate, and quickly said to Lin's father with a sad face: "Dad, the merchant uncle is here. He said I was the first one and rewarded me with a candied haws, and Brother Qi agreed."
I heard that Lin Qi agreed to the reward given by the vendor yesterday. Father Lin changed his hands, gently touched Lin Qi's face, sighed and said, "Since your seventh brother agrees, just accept it."
He was a little sad and shed tears. Your parents were so incompetent that they couldn't buy you candied haws.
Lin's mother smiled at Lin Qi and said, "Qi Lang, you can't finish all these candied haws. There are also brothers and sisters, give them a share too."
After saying that, Mother Lin reached out to Lin Qi. Lin Qi reluctantly gave the candied haws to Mother Lin with a sad face.
There are ten candied haws in a bunch, and Mother Lin separates them with her hands.
She gave two to Lin Qi, one to Lin Ba and Lin Jiu, one each to Lin's father and Lin's mother, and kept the rest carefully.
Lin Ba and Lin Jiu stared at Lin Qi.
After all, Lin Ba was a girl. After all, it was normal for the Song Dynasty to favor boys over girls, so she didn't dare to speak.
But Lin Jiu quit. He pointed at Brother Seven and cried while eating: "Mother, why are there two Brother Seven and I am the only one?"
Father Lin shook his head while eating the candied haws, sighing secretly that he was so incompetent that he made the whole family fight over the candied haws.
Mother Lin glared at Lin Jiu and said, "You should thank Brother Qi. Without Brother Qi, would you be able to eat candied haws?"
"I don't care, Seventh Brother has two, I want two too." Lin Jiu suddenly fell to the ground, dancing and crying, begging.
Mother Lin raised her hand to grab Lin Jiu, but Father Lin grabbed her and said, "Now is not the time to fight for the candied haws. Hurry up and dig up the monster taro, otherwise it will be poached by others too late."
"If you don't get up quickly, I won't be able to eat the candied haws." He looked at Lin Jiu, who was still rolling on the ground.
After hearing this, Lin Jiu stood up regardless of the dust on the ground. Anyway, they were all patched clothes left by his brother.
He raised his little face, wiped his eyes with his hands and said to Father and Mother Lin, "Mom and Dad, I also want a small hoe."
"You are so young, what are you doing with a hoe?" Father Lin's heart suddenly melted when he saw his cute appearance, and he touched his face and asked.
"I also want to dig up the monster yam and sell it to the vendors, and then, then I will..." He did not come out.
"What do you do next?" Mother Lin also touched Lin Jiu's face and asked curiously.
"I also want to buy a bunch of candied haws, one for each of my parents and sister, but not for my fourth brother." At this point, his face pouted, and he made an "ignore you" expression towards his brother.
He was not happy, and Lin Qi was even more unhappy. This was originally given to him by a vendor, but when he returned home, it was shared without mentioning it, and especially made the ninth brother bear a grudge.
When Father Lin came out with his family at this time, he saw that the entire mountainside was crowded with people.
Huang Zhizhao was very happy when he heard that the merchants had indeed come.
He asked his servant to move the tea table from the meeting hall to the octagonal pavilion at the gate of the village, and drank tea while looking at everything in front of him.
In his eyes, these have become the people under his rule, just slaves who provide him with wealth.
His eyes were sometimes cold and sometimes warm.
Indifferently, these five thousand people are almost like slaves. In enthusiastically, so many people go to dig monster yams, and I don’t know how much money they provide.
Five thousand people dig monster taro. According to the average level, they have to dig more than 100,000 kilograms.
If converted into copper coins, it would be 100,000 copper coins, and he could charge a protection fee of 30,000 copper coins.
Thirty thousand copper coins, converted into delivery cards, would be three thousand taels. Except for giving it to the person in the county seat, he could get two thousand delivery cards.
Two thousand delivery cards a day, even the official family doesn't have that much income, right?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a proud smile on his face, and asked someone to change the teacup into a wine glass, and turn the drunken spring breeze into fine wine.
Today we have such an unprecedented harvest. If we don’t celebrate, how can we be worthy of ourselves?
However, something unexpected happened today, which caught him off guard.
