Chapter 137 Farmer
Gu Yundong put down the candy in his hand, wiped his hands and went out.
He Ye was standing in the yard, holding a basket in his hand, looking very cramped.
Seeing Gu Yundong coming out, Dong Xiulan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law of the Shi family said she will bring you oranges."
"I know, I saw it in the city before, and I told her to ask my aunt to pour me a glass of water."
Dong Xiulan nodded, "Okay, I still have the **** tea I cooked for the homestead. I'll bring it here."
Gu Yundong thanked him, and then took He Ye to the main room.
"Auntie's basket of oranges is all sold out?"
He Ye nodded hurriedly, "Hey, it's sold out. I came across a tea shop to buy them. When I saw that the oranges were fresh, I bought them all. These were specially brought back by my boss. Can you take a look?"
She put the basket on the table and opened the cloth covering it, revealing the dozen or so plump and refreshing oranges.
Gu Yundong liked it at first glance, she let He Ye sit, He Ye was a little uncomfortable, so he sat on half of his buttocks.
"Auntie, calculate how much money, I'll give it to you."
He Ye was silent for a moment, then whispered, "One, one penny."
Gu Yundong frowned. The pear I bought last time was also a penny, but the pear was not in good condition and was not very fresh. It couldn't compare to this orange at all, and the price was obviously lower.
"Auntie, follow the market price. You gave me such a cheap price. When I look back, others will say that I bullied honest people."
Dong Xiulan came over with **** tea at this time, she handed it to He Ye's hand, and said with a smile, "Shi's family's oranges are well grown. Last time, a businessman from out of town stopped by the village to see it and gave him ten wen I bought it for a pound."
Ten cents a pound? In this era, a pound is sixteen taels, and the Shi family's oranges are large and hydrated, and almost four have a pound.
This is only bought in the village, and it may be more than sold in the market.
Gu Yundong knew what he knew, and took out sixty wen.
"Auntie, keep it."
He Ye quickly refused, "I can't give that much, I can't give that much."
"Yes, fifty cents is the money I bought for those twenty oranges, and ten cents is the compensation for knocking over your basket before."
He Ye didn't dare to ask for it when he heard it, "It didn't crash, so why do you need to pay for it?"
Gu Yundong has a headache, it's not good to be too polite.
Dong Xiulan had been with her for a while, and she understood her temperament somewhat, so she took He Ye aside to persuade her.
Gu Yundong breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, He Ye still accepted the sixty pennies, thanked Gu Yundong again and again, and then left the Zeng family.
"Her family's son is a gangster. I didn't expect his parents to be so honest." Gu Yundong shook his head, turned to see the oranges on the table, and said to Dong Xiulan, "Shi's oranges are really good, fragrant and delicious. Sweet and big."
"That's right, Shi Dashan's husband and wife are really good at farming, especially those fruit trees, but they are too cowardly." Dong Xiulan admits that she is not daring, but compared with Shi Dashan and his wife , she can be considered sturdy.
Gu Yundong thought for a while, but still felt that he should go to the village chief's house, "Auntie, I will trouble you to cook dinner with my mother. I have something to do."
"Hey, are you still going out so late?"
"Come back soon." After Gu Yundong finished speaking, he had already walked out of the gate of Zeng's house.
When Gu Yundong arrived at Chen Liang's house, he realized that it was dinner time, and it was rude to come to the door.
