Middleman
Tan rushed to introduce Yang Ruoqing.
What is this, what is that, he said a lot of things in a very clear and logical manner.
Yang Huamei stood up and listened with a smile, sighing secretly that she has a really good memory at the age of seventy.
She had just said it once before, but she actually remembered all these scattered things.
As for Yang Ruoqing, she couldn't hide her surprise after listening to Tan's enthusiastic introduction.
Dabai is actually willing to spend money on his family members?
This is really the sun coming out of the west.
"Dabai is really thoughtful, sending so many good things here, look at it, give me my milk."
Yang Ruoqing also smiled happily.
When Tan introduced these things previously, the price of some items was a bit exaggerated, obviously rising by 20 to 30% from what it should have been.
Yang Ruoqing was not sure whether Tan deliberately raised the price to gain Dabai's face, or whether Yang Huamei raised the price when quoting the price for Tan? Or maybe it was Dabai and Yang Huamei who raised the price?
In a word, there are 'middlemen' who raise the price difference.
Okay, I won’t go into detail on this issue. No matter which link among the three of them, or which link raises the price, it’s just human nature.
Just like when some people buy a car, the starting price of the 3 Series is only over 300,000, but they and their relatives and friends around them inflate it to 600,000 to 700,000.
It's so high that it confuses the uninitiated.
If you meet an expert, you are a joke. You can buy a 7 Series, but why do you buy a top-spec 3 Series? You are out of your mind!
Therefore, Yang Ruoqing did not expose the gifts and fabrics on the table in front of her face. She just smiled and praised them casually, taking it as a sign of sympathy for Yang Huamei, the poor mother.
Who told her to dream that her sons would be successful? She finally got something in return, so naturally she wanted to praise them.
Yang Huamei was very generous and immediately opened a bag of snacks for Yang Ruoqing to eat.
It was a box of winter melon candies, with soft white winter melon puree inside and a layer of sugar coating and frosting on the outside. It was cool and sweet in the mouth, and had the fragrance of the winter melon itself.
"The candies are delicious, and Dabai is very good at shopping." Yang Ruoqing ate one and praised it again.
When Yang Huamei heard the compliment, she actually said it from Yang Ruoqing's mouth. This was undoubtedly a cleansing of Dabai and an affirmation of Dabai. Yang Huamei was happy and relieved.
She picked up other snack boxes on the table and wanted to open them for Yang Ruoqing to eat. Yang Ruoqing quickly waved her hand: "Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. I came here after breakfast and I really can't eat anymore."
"Well, anyway, I brought these snacks to you and your mother. You can eat them later when you can eat them."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.
Yang Huamei and Tan were left sitting there, sighing at Dabai's success and sensibility, and then quietly went to the backyard to find Sun.
Mrs. Sun was cracking poached eggs into the Qi-boosting soup, and there were two bowls on the stove.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming over, Sun said: "Your aunt is here, have you seen her?"
"Yes, I even ate the winter melon candy my aunt gave me."
"They were all brought back by Dabai. Dabai is sensible now. Your aunt is very happy, and I am happy for her too."
"Well, me too, I hope Dabai can keep it forever!" Yang Ruoqing said.
"Qing'er, I've cooked a big pot of Qi-tonifying soup, and you'll also have a bowl later."
"This is good stuff. I just found it by smelling the fragrance. I will definitely drink it." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, and helped Sun collect the finished egg shells into the swill bucket aside.
"Mom, where is my dad?"
"Your father went to the pasture early in the morning."
"What's going on over there in the pasture?" Yang Ruoqing asked in surprise.
Sun said: "It's not that big of a deal. Duo'er and Shengnan came over for dinner yesterday and mentioned that they bought ten calves from other places. The calves were soaked in the rain for several hours on the road. When they got home,
The last five or six calves all have runny noses. Your father is worried and kept talking about it while sleeping last night, so he rushed to the pasture at dawn today to check on the situation."
Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.
Xiaoduo and his family didn't raise many cattle in the pasture at first, but later they sold some one after another. Using the money from the sales, the cattle dealer discussed with Xiang Shengnan about buying a batch of calves from other places and raising them again.
One calf is nearly sixty taels of silver, and ten calves are sixty taels of silver.
The place to buy cattle was contacted by a cattle dealer. He had been doing this kind of selling business in his early years and had good connections.
"Logically speaking, cows should have rough skin and thick flesh, so why should they be afraid of getting wet in the rain? We farmers have to work in the fields in the rain during busy farming days, and this is even more true for cows. I haven't heard of anyone whose cows can't do this.
It’s raining…”
Mrs. Sun muttered as she stirred the poached eggs in the Qi Bu Qi Soup.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Cows can also get sick. They are not invulnerable to five poisons. What's more, they are still calves, not adult cows."
"Qing'er, then according to what you say, there won't be anything wrong with those snotty-nosed calves, right?" Mrs. Sun immediately became worried and her eyebrows knitted together.
Regarding this issue, Yang Ruoqing has never been exposed to it, so she cannot give an accurate answer.
We can't even comfort Ms. Sun by saying it's okay against her will.
"Calves are just like people. A runny nose means they are cold in the rain. Let's try giving them medicine. The uncle who is a cattle dealer should have experience in this area. After all, he has been dealing with cattle all his life."
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Mrs. Sun could only nod lightly, "I hope they can find a way. Don't worry about anything else. You only get six taels of silver each!"
Mrs. Sun not only served Mrs. Tan the Qi-boosting soup, but also scooped out a bowl for Yang Huamei. In addition to red dates, hawthorn, peanuts and red beans, there were also a few poached eggs.
Yang Huamei was polite at first, but couldn't stand Sun's enthusiasm and Tan's persistence.
"Meier, please don't be polite. This is your parents' home and not anywhere else. Qi-tonifying soup is good for us women, and poached eggs have been your favorite since you were a child. Just sit down and eat it honestly before you go home!
"
Yang Huamei had no choice but to thank Mrs. Sun, took the bowl and chopsticks and sat down, playing and eating with Mrs. Tan.
It was at this time that Yang Huazhong came back.
My face wasn't very good when I walked in.
Yang Huamei originally wanted to talk to him about Dabai, but she immediately flinched when she saw his gloomy expression.
Tan still spoke first, "Is the third child back? Look quickly. Everything on this table was bought by your eldest nephew Dabai to honor us, but he is no longer promising..."
Yang Huazhong was thinking about something and was sweating all over his head. When he heard Tan's words, he glanced at the table, said "hmm" absently and strode towards the backyard.
