118 Don't Think Too Expensive(2/2)

In another four or five months, you can eat whatever you want.

But with Mrs. Xing's words, Wang Xifeng couldn't tell what her mother-in-law was thinking.

After bowing to Jia Mu and others, and following Jia Lian out of the house, Wang Xifeng's expression changed, "I still lack this little food?"

Jia Lian also understood that his daughter-in-law would definitely be unhappy, but even though Mrs.

Talking about elders behind their back is not only punishable by the seven sins, but more seriously, unfilial piety is also among the ten evils, which can be directly divorced and punished.

He hurriedly pulled Wang Xifeng, then smiled and said to Shun'er who was standing far away, "Go back and tell Bo Qian that his second sister-in-law agreed to this matter."

Shun'er hurriedly thanked him, but seeing Wang Xifeng's smile was a little forced, he hurriedly went back and reported it to Shi Zhongkui.

At this time, Xue Pan had already been sent to the restaurant by Shi Zhongkui to keep an eye on him. After hearing Shuner's words, Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but frown.

It doesn't make sense.

With Wang Xifeng's character of wanting to take over power, there was no reason why he wouldn't want to let her take care of the restaurant's affairs for a few days.

And although the gift he gave was not heavy, it definitely gave Wang Xifeng enough face.

Taking the opportunity to go back to the study, I summoned the golden squirrel, and then I realized that it was actually the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were having trouble.

But he had no intention of sending peaches over again. If he gave something away, he would definitely be looked down upon.

------

But he didn't expect that after three days, Shi Zhongkui also paid homage to the teachers he was supposed to meet and attended several banquets with fellow scholars.

When Jia Lian came to the door again, Shi Zhongkui actually saw obscure fingerprints on his face.

After thinking about it for a moment, I thought to myself, could it be that he was beaten by Jia She?

Fortunately, I have not been reincarnated into the Jia family.

Otherwise, if Jia She and Jia Zhen treated Jia Lian, and Jia Rong would either beat or scold him, or even let his servants spit on his own son, he might have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

As for Jia Zheng, although he is pedantic and rigid, he is easy to get along with as long as he is willing to study.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhongkui's impression of Jia She became even worse.

Pretending not to see the red mark on Jia Lian's face, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but when he spoke, he hesitated.

"Second brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. You and I don't have to worry so much."

The more Shi Zhongkui said this, the more dissatisfied Jia Lian felt with Jia She, but he did not dare to show it.

And it is impossible for Jia Lian to wish for his own father to die because of this. This is completely unreasonable.

Unless they are people with a cold nature, there are really not many people who have rebellious thoughts because their parents treat them badly.

The most modern people can do is move out and live on their own, or work in another city, and have less contact from now on.

In fact, the ancients were similar. Many people went out to do business or served as officials for more than ten years without returning home.

"Brother, do you still have those fresh peaches on hand?"

After hearing this, Shi Zhongkui suddenly felt sorry for Jia Lian. He didn't expect that Jia She would actually take out his anger on Jia Lian, his own son, because of the gift.

If it were any other time, he would definitely say no. After all, it would make Jia She have a hard time, which would actually make him feel quite happy.

But now, just thinking about it, a few peaches in exchange for Jia Lian's gratitude was worth it.

Moreover, Yingchun is not married yet. If Jia She becomes angry and beats or scolds his second wife, it seems that he will be the one who suffers.

Think about it again, maybe you can sell it for thirty or fifty taels of silver per pound.

He even made up nonsense about planting peach trees in hot springs and directly sold the annual output of the peach trees, which also solved the market for the ordinary fruits produced in the space farm.

And even if it doesn't work, it's just a waste of breath.

Pretending to be embarrassed, he said, "Yes, yes, but..."

Jia Lian's face lit up, "Brother Xian just taught Brother Wei a lesson, but now he is hesitant."

"Hey," Shi Zhongkui said after sighing, "Second brother doesn't know that this peach grows in a hot spring valley.

After more than ten years of hard work, the owner has only expanded the hot spring valley by three points and planted more than 20 peach trees.

Even though I can receive twenty or thirty kilograms every year for some reasons, if I want more, I have to pay 50 taels of silver per kilogram, which is really unaffordable."

Jia Lian was immediately surprised, "So expensive?"

"Don't think it's expensive," Shi Zhongkui said, pretending to be in pain, "it's a great honor to be able to buy something that even the emperor can't eat.

If this peach tree had produced fruit in the past ten days or so, the price would have been one hundred taels per catty, and some people wouldn't be able to buy it.

Besides, those hot spring vegetables produced in winter all cost a few taels of silver per catty."

Only then did Jia Lian realize that during the Chinese New Year or when the sky was covered with heavy snow, there was indeed a situation where a pound of cucumbers cost 10 taels of silver.

Don't think things are ridiculously expensive, but some noble families will buy them no matter how expensive they are, out of respect for the old master or old lady.

Besides, the eldest son of the family, the eldest master, and the eldest brother Zhen, every once in a while, give the old lady food.

It is common for a meal to cost three to five taels of silver.

Even in order to eat green vegetables in winter, Ning and Rongfu will dig a pit more than one meter deep under the wall on the sunny side of the farm outside the city in October.

Put a layer of vegetables in the pit, sprinkle a layer of soil, then put a layer of vegetables, then sprinkle a layer of soil, pile it up to about a foot above the ground, and cover it tightly with straw.
