Lu Xinghe hummed, "Looking at the situation, it will probably be in the next two days."
When she heard that it was going to snow, Chu Yue felt worried, "The radishes and cabbages in front of our house have been ripe for a while, and the ten ridges of land beside the house are almost ripe. I dare not go to town these days. Our family is temporarily I can’t even finish half of it, and I don’t know if it will freeze if it snows.”
Lu Xinghe thought for a while and stood up.
"I'll go to Lu Dagui's house and ask him to accompany me to the county tomorrow."
Lu Dagui was hired for ten days before, and he was sent back after giving Mrs. Shen acupuncture. However, if there was any heavy work at home, Chu Yue would still ask him to help, and in return, he and Tiedan would be given a meal.
"Hey." Chu Yue hurriedly stood up and pulled Lu Xinghe, "Ms. sir, although your injury no longer hurts, you still have to give birth and recover for a while."
Lu Xinghe patted her hand gently, "Don't worry, let Lu Dagui do the physical work when the time comes. I'll just watch."
After he finished speaking, he left the main room and walked towards the courtyard door. But as soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw a carriage parked in front of the door, and Xu Heng was stepping down in stirrups.
Seeing Lu Xinghe, he looked surprised.
"Hey, Brother Lu, what a coincidence. Did you hear the sound of my carriage?"
When friends came to visit, Lu Xinghe felt happy in his heart.
"Why did you come to my house?"
Xu Heng directly explained the purpose of his visit, "I saw you growing a lot of vegetables last time, so I wanted to come and ask if you have any extra to sell? Originally, the market was not good this year, and there were few farmers selling vegetables. Now you have to pay to enter the town. There are even fewer people, and we haven’t eaten decent vegetables for a long time.”
Lu Xinghe raised the corners of his lips, Xu Heng came at the right time.
"Yes, Brother Xu, please go to the house with me first."
After he finished speaking, he led Xu Heng and the coachman into the main room.
When everyone saw Xu Heng, they stood up to greet him.
Yun Cuihe hurriedly brought a chair and said, "Master Xu, come and sit down. In order to save firewood, our family only lit a charcoal pot in the main room. I hope Master Xu won't mind."
Xu Heng waved his hand and said, "Auntie, please don't say that. Just feel free to do it. I don't care about that."
Yun Cuihe looked at Chu Yue with a smile, "Yueyue, go make tea quickly."
"Hey, okay."
Chu Yue responded and went to the kitchen.
After arranging Chu Yue to make tea, she looked at Lu Xinghe again, "Xinghe, why don't you go and heat up the kang in your room, and let Mr. Xu go and talk with you in the room?"
Xu Heng said hurriedly, "No need, Auntie, there's no need to go to such trouble."
Lu Xinghe looked at Yun Cuihe, "Mom, Brother Xu is here to buy vegetables."
Yun Cuihe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Xu Heng was confused, "What a coincidence?"
Lu Yufang also covered her mouth and smiled, "Brother Xinghe and sister-in-law were just talking about going to sell vegetables tomorrow. It just so happened that Brother Xu came to buy vegetables at this time. Isn't it a coincidence? I didn't get any vegetables after being a day late."
Xu Heng smiled warmly, "That's really a coincidence."
At this moment, Chu Yue entered the main room with tea, and she naturally heard what the others said just now.
"We only have carrots and cabbage at home. I wonder how many Mr. Xu needs?"
"It doesn't take much. After all, you still need vegetables to eat. I'll be enough if you give me some extra. As for the price, I heard that someone sold vegetables in the town before. Cabbage sold for 50 yuan, and radish sold for 15 yuan. You guys It’s appropriate to mention this price.”
Chu Yue smiled and said, "This is the first time I see a buyer asking the seller to raise the price."
Xu Heng scratched his head with an honest look on his face.
"I can't deceive you that you don't understand the market, right?"
Lu Yufang on the side opened her eyes in shock.
Are all the cabbages in town selling for fifty cents? Then twenty cabbages can be sold for one tael of silver?
I still have four ridges of vegetables at home, can I ask Daddy to sell them in the town?
Thinking of this, she stood up from her seat a little uneasily.
"Brother Xu, Third Aunt, Brother Xinghe, Yueyue, if you want to buy or sell something, I won't stay here. I'll go back first and come back later."
After saying that, he ran home like a gust of wind.
Yun Cuihe looked at Lu Yufang's retreating back and looked at Xu Heng with a smile, "Yufang is a little fickle in doing things, but in fact she doesn't have any extra thoughts. Mr. Xu, please don't mind."
Xu Heng waved his hand, "I don't mind. I don't mind."
"Master Xu, sit down for a while, and I'll go to the field to get you some vegetables." After Yun Cuihe said that, he picked up the sickle under the eaves and went to the vegetable field.
Chu Yue thought of the five jars of pickled radish she had newly brewed a few days ago, and looked at Xu Heng hurriedly.
"Do you need pickled radish, Mr. Xu? Fresh radish and cabbage can't be stored for long, but you don't have to worry about pickled radish."
Xu Heng was confused, "Soak radish?"
"I'll bring it to Mr. Xu to have a taste. I don't know if it suits your taste."
She turned again and went to the kitchen.
Xu Heng tasted the pickled radish and said it was delicious, so he mixed three jars of it from Chu Yue.
Three jars of pickled radishes, cabbage and radishes were stacked in half of the carriage, emptying half of the vegetable patch in front of the house.
In the end, Xu Heng left after settling three taels of silver.
After Xu Heng left, Yun Cuihe looked at the silver in her hand, somewhat unconscious.
"Is it so easy to make money selling vegetables now?"
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Xu is my husband's friend, so we shouldn't ask for too high a price. If we go to the county town, we might be able to sell it for more."
After a while, Lu Yufang came to the house again.
"Brother Xinghe, can you call my dad next time you go to sell vegetables? My dad said that I can sell two rows of vegetables at home and keep the other two rows for eating."
Lu Xinghe nodded, "We will bring some food to the county tomorrow. Ask your father to bring some later, not too much."
After saying that, he went out to find Lu Dagui.
Chu Yue pulled Lu Yufang to the charcoal basin to make a fire, "Don't tell everyone about selling vegetables. Just our two families know about it."
Lu Yufang nodded hurriedly, "Of course I know, grandma also told me not to tell anyone."
Chu Yue smiled, "Why did you come to see me?"
"I will have haircut the day after tomorrow, so my grandma asked me to come up and tell you that you and your family will get together at the old house the day after tomorrow. It will not be a good year this year. After this gathering, we will not get together during the New Year."
Yun Cuihe put down the money and walked out of the house.
"Okay, we get it. We will definitely go there in the future. Yufang will be a big girl in a blink of an eye. Do your parents look after you?"
Lu Yufang lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I looked at a few of them. Either they have bad character or there are powerful elders in the house, but I rejected them all."
Yun Cuihe smiled and said, "Your mother is doing her whole heart for you."
"I know, I am also grateful for my love and care. It's just that we are meeting each other in a lean year. If we don't get it done this year, it will be even more difficult in the future." Lu Yufang said and sighed.
Hearing this, Chu Yue suddenly thought of someone.
"I know a person who has a good character in all aspects. The elders in the family are also kind to others. Maybe Yufang can consider it."
