Gu Yundong put down the candy in his hand, wiped his hands and went out.
Standing in the yard was He Ye, 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 to send you oranges."
"I know. I met her in the city before and told her about it. Please ask my aunt to pour me a glass of water."
Dong Xiulan nodded, "Okay, I still have the ginger tea I made for the homestead earlier, and I'll bring it over."
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 met a buyer from a teahouse and saw that the oranges were fresh, so I bought them all. These were specially picked by my head and brought back. Can you see if you can?"
She put the basket on the table, and opened the cloth covering it, revealing the dozen or so round and refreshing oranges.
Gu Yundong liked it at the first glance, she asked He Ye to sit, and He Ye felt a little uncomfortable, so she sat on half of her buttocks.
"Auntie, calculate how much it is, and I will give it to you."
He Ye was silent for a moment, then whispered, "One, one penny."
Gu Yundong frowned. The pears he bought last time were also worth a penny each, but the pears were not good in quality and not very fresh. They couldn't compare with these oranges at all, and the price was obviously lower.
"Auntie, let's follow the market price. You give me such a cheap price. Later, people will say that I bully an honest person."
Dong Xiulan came over with ginger tea at this time, she handed it to He Ye, and said with a smile, "The oranges in the Shi family are well grown. Last time, a businessman from other places passed by the village to rest and saw it. Give it to Shiwen." I bought it by a catty."
Ten cents a catty? In this day and age, a catty is sixteen taels, and Shi's oranges are big and watery, almost four of them weigh a catty.
This is only bought in the village, and it may be more than sold in the market.
Gu Yundong knew it well, and took out sixty Wen.
"Auntie, you take it."
He Ye quickly refused, "I can't give that much, I can't give that much."
"Yes, fifty cents is the money I paid for the twenty oranges, and ten cents is the compensation for knocking over your basket before."
When He Ye heard this, he didn't dare to ask for it anymore, "It wasn't damaged, 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, so 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 Wen, thanked Gu Yundong again and again, and then left Zeng's house.
"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, "The oranges from Shi's family are really good. They are fragrant and delicious. Sweet and big."
"That's right, Shi Dashan and his wife are really good at farming, especially those fruit trees, but they are too cowardly." Dong Xiulan admits that she is not a bold person, but compared with Shi Dashan and his wife , she can be considered sturdy.
Gu Yundong thought about it, but still felt that he should go to the village chief's house, "Auntie, I will trouble you to make dinner with my mother, I have something to go out."
"Hey, are you going out so late?"
"Come right back." 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 very impolite to come to the door. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
