Now Zhu Xingde and his six sons, no matter whose door they knock on, they just need to shout: "The person coming is the eldest son-in-law of the Zuo family."
There are people coming out of every house in Youhan Village, and the people who greet them are basically the heads of the family.
Whoever sees Zhu Xingde will enthusiastically ask:
"Are your parents back? Come inside quickly, it's raining outside. Don't stand outside."
If Zhu Xingde could tell what to call someone from his father-in-law, he would take the initiative to call people "grandpa, sixth uncle, seventh uncle, eighth grandpa" while sitting on someone's bed.
If he doesn¡¯t know how to discuss seniority, just look at his face and call him uncle.
Usually you are right most of the time.
If you call someone by mistake, the other person will take the initiative to correct him and explain that you called him wrong. It¡¯s not that you should call me uncle, but that according to your father-in-law, I should call you uncle.
As for what to collect.
After being polite, let¡¯s get down to business.
Zhu Xingde would "give dishes to others when he sees them."
For example, according to his father-in-law, the house he came to at this time should be called Grandpa Eighth.
In his eyes, the Eighth Grandpa¡¯s family is a very poor household, with a large population and little land.
?Then don¡¯t ask for anything else.
Zhu Xingde directly pointed to the grain spread on the ground and said: "The corn and sorghum that have grown sprouts, and some good straw, will be used to make copper plates for you."
"What does your family need this for? It can't be eaten. Alas, I feel so worried about having such food at home, and you still want to buy it. Boy, does your father-in-law know that you came to my house to collect this?"
??Hearing this, you know that this family has a kind character.
People don¡¯t rush to sell as soon as they hear the money.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off of the left-hander.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you are an old man and don¡¯t know, if we secretly sell it to someone else¡¯s son-in-law, wouldn¡¯t it make people poke their spines if you look back?
Zhu Xingde hurriedly explained with a smile that it was his father-in-law who asked him to come:
¡°Grandpa Eighth, I came with a list.
My family wants to raise pigs, and my father suddenly thought of your family and asked me to ask, if those sprouts can't be eaten, it will be a waste. Why not buy them for my family and keep them to feed the pigs in winter, and then let your family get some copper coins? .
Although it¡¯s not much, you can still use that copper plate to exchange for some filling food for the winter.
Isn't that right? Before I went out, my father ran out of the house on purpose and stood in the rain wiping the rainwater and told me to buy whatever he wanted. First, go to your eighth grandfather's house in Dongtou and ask. If your family has , let me buy your parents first. "
Zhu Xingde¡¯s explanation made the eighth grandfather very enthusiastic.
Hearing this, he hurriedly led Zhu Xingde and Liuzi to see the food in his house, and said with a bit of shame:
"You said this little piece of junk is not worth collecting your copper coins. If life were better, what would be the relationship between me and your father? Anyway, people can't eat it, so why collect money? Straw is not valuable. Things."
He hesitated for a moment: "How about, baby, you can take some away without any money."
I thought: Just grit your teeth and stamp your feet, and let the child pick up some.
Zhu Xingde disagreed.
What are we here to do, right?
We won¡¯t go through any trouble for such a worthless thing. He would rather let the other party remember something good about his father-in-law because of this little coin:
"It's two different things, Grandpa Eighth. I definitely can't ask for it in vain. Don't worry about it. If you do this, I'll be embarrassed to accept it. Just think of it as a good thing for both of us. Besides, that's a big deal. The pigs still sprout a lot, and I can¡¯t spend money to collect them. To be honest, if you buy the poor ones, the pigs won¡¯t be able to bear them anymore. What I catch are still piglets, so don¡¯t give them anymore. Eat something wrong."
"Okay, you watch the draw. I will give you more draw, and the extra money will be free of charge."
In this way, Zhu Xingde came out of the eighth grandfather¡¯s house, with a heart of mutual help, and transferred to several needy households one after another.
This is really helping those in need.
"After all, we buy sprouted seeds from everyone. In fact, every household has some damaged grain as long as it is not dried.
Zhu Xingde had good intentions and wanted to target those families in need who were hit hard first.
First, you can buy a lot in one go, so you don¡¯t have to worry about it twice. When buying from other people¡¯s houses, you have to get it from here and there.
Second, we can¡¯t live in a village and watch those families starve to death, right?
It was also his father-in-law, who was left-handed, who insisted on doing this. He said that it was not easy to suffer the disaster.The three daughters and sons-in-law who live in the house all live in Skipper and Magnolia.
In previous years, Lefty and Magnolia had two mouths to eat, but this year they have so many more mouths. Look at it, everyone seems to be staying or not leaving, and there is one who doesn't want to buy food?
???????????????? It¡¯s a good idea, collecting grain in the village is much more cost-effective than going to the grain shop to buy grain in a few days.
Grandpa Li Zhengwu¡¯s third daughter-in-law was about to interrupt and asked: ¡°How much food rations does your family have?¡±
Zhu Xingde has already given the answer: "Fifth Grandpa, I'm not here to buy rations. I'm here to charge you whatever surplus grain your family has. I will charge as much as you plan to sell this year. The price of grain is based on the price you sold it to the grain shop in previous years." " Having said this, he paused for a moment and said, "One penny more."
Not to mention that Grandpa Li Zhengwu¡¯s third daughter-in-law was extremely surprised after hearing this, but Grandpa Li Zhengwu himself and several of his sons were also shocked.
"What are you going to do with your family?"
It is impossible to hide this kind of thing, and the person in front of you is upright. Unlike others, all kinds of big and small things will be troublesome in the future.
Zhu Xingde said truthfully: "It's for making food and wine."
Li Zheng's eldest son hurriedly said: "That is not what ordinary people would do. I heard that those who tinker with wine can't sell it after they are finished, and the wine they make can only be given away as gifts during the New Year and holidays. Who is your family? Yes? Are you sure it's correct? It's someone's secret recipe you bought. The secret recipe isn't that accurate. You have to try to see if it can be made before harvesting the food."
Grandpa Li Zhengwu thought of the straw he carried on his back, which had taken him a whole day to carry firewood for Bizi's family before it rained. He said in an extremely certain tone: "It's your grandma."
Zhu Xingde smiled: "Yes, Fifth Grandpa, several uncles, and my grandma can make wine. Our family doesn't buy anyone's secret recipe. We have it ourselves, but we are the younger generation who know this. Craftsmanship It was left behind by our deceased grandfather.¡±
What Zhu Xingde said is half true and half false.
There is no need to elaborate on which grandpa it is, anyway, it is all the grandpa who lives with grandma.
¡°But everyone in the Lizheng family all agreed that it was the secret recipe left by Xiuhua¡¯s first man, Magnolia¡¯s biological father.
Grandpa Li Zhengwu asked: "Has the wine been made?"
Zhu Xingde quickly told: "It's done, but the first batch was too little. Before we came out, my father also said that when we make more, I will let you and several elders in the village try our home brew." of wine.¡±
Grandpa Li Zhengwu was still in shock, "Is your grandma going to do it?"
Zhu Xingde shook his head, no way.
He sighed before answering:
¡°Nothing is easy.
After so many years, my grandmother relies solely on memories. Although she has the secret recipe in her heart, she has a ruthless hand.
You don¡¯t know, but I heard that my grandma hasn¡¯t had a good night¡¯s sleep these days, sleeping for at least two hours a day.
At such an old age, I have pondered over and over again and tried again and again.
Not to mention the delicate work that was almost impossible to do and she had to do it all by herself. She only said that she was responsible for peeling corn to make corn syrup and saving it for making wine. Four of the five fingers on my grandmother¡¯s right hand were swollen.
I heard from my second sister that my grandma deliberately made wine while we were not at home.
She was afraid that if she couldn¡¯t remember it, it would be in vain and we would get angry. It was true that some food was wasted, but fortunately, wine was finally made through repeated failures. "
Some of Zhu Xingde¡¯s words are not deceptive. For example, his grandmother didn¡¯t sleep much all day to make wine, and her fingers were swollen from grinding corn to make corn syrup.
Because when he was eating the leek box last night, he saw his grandma's hand.
Last night, Manshan and Manshan slept on the same bed, and Manshan also mentioned that he was exhausted from making wine for his grandmother these days.
"I didn't expect your grandma to have such a skill. A woman can memorize the secret recipe and make it. She has not let this craft be lost in vain, and she is very confident." Grandpa Li Zhengwu commented like this.
Can it be unsuccessful?
Before it rained, I asked him to carry straw.
When asked what to do, he didn¡¯t say anything. He just said that he needed a lot of firewood and straw.
It seems that at that time, I planned to tinker with wine at home.
Li Zheng¡¯s sons nodded, but they didn¡¯t expect that Bizi¡¯s mother-in-law was not an ordinary old lady. Who would have thought that?
¡°At first, when Pai Zi¡¯s mother-in-law first came to the village, they thought there was going to be a difficult person in Pao Zi¡¯s family. At first glance, he is not an easy person to get along with. You can sing, recite, and fight. You don¡¯t have to make a rough draft of whoever you want to scold or punish, you just open your mouth.
He even went out to the field to ask for money from Lefty, saying that he wanted to go for a walk in the city if he had nothing to do.
At that time, one of them thought: Whoever has such a mother-in-law will be unlucky.
Looking back now, it is unlucky to be a sloppy person. Don¡¯t look at the old lady Xiuhua who is still difficult to get along with. But if you can only bring this wine-making skill to my uncle¡¯s house, the money you can make is worth a hundred old people outside. Mrs.
"Then, dad, let's sell our food to the skimmers. You're a virtuous man. Just now you said you would give us an extra penny, one penny more per pound. We heard it right." I've never seen anyone take the initiative. I want to raise the price.
Zhu Xingde said with a smile, he heard that right.
¡°And this matter was brought up by the grandmother and father-in-law at home.
As for why (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It's unlucky to be a sloppy person, even if the old lady Xiuhua is still difficult to get along with, but if you can bring this wine-making skill to your uncle's house, the money you can make is worth a hundred old ladies outside.

Zhu Xingde said with a smile, he heard that right.
