Chapter 100

100. Not getting a dime, but trying to take advantage

Shen Ruoxi looked at it and saw that the medicinal materials were okay. "Wang Yi, you can calculate it for this old man. It will be calculated as one penny more based on the purchase price."

"Okay." Wang Yi came over and carried the old man's basket to the backyard. He weighed and counted the money one by one. There were thirty coins in total. "Old man, take it."

"Thank you very much." The old man wiped his tears, put the money away, and left with tears in his eyes.



Shenjia Village.

Shen Ruohao and Shen Erniu pushed the bullock cart back to the village. After the two separated, Shen Ruohao went straight to Carpenter Shen's house and said, "Uncle Carpenter, I want to dig twenty more beehives."

When Carpenter Shen heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Shen Ruohao, "Twenty more?"

Shen Ruohao nodded, "Well, are you busy?"

"I'm so busy, I'm so busy." Carpenter Shen hurriedly responded. It's rare to have such a good business, so even if I'm too busy, I still have to do it.

Shen Ruohao still had a lot of things to do and was in a hurry to go home. "Then you go ahead and get busy. I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute." Carpenter Shen waved to Shen Ruohao, "I heard that your family sold honey today. How was it? You sold it for a lot of money, right?"

Shen Ruohao suddenly became vigilant. It was taboo in the village to tell how much something was sold for. If it was too much, people would definitely be jealous. "As my uncle said, honey is expensive, but our harvest is small, so we didn't sell it for much. "

Carpenter Shen smiled and said, "You kid refuses to tell the truth. Even if it's a small amount, it must be dozens of kilograms and a few taels of silver."

Shen Ruohao smiled awkwardly, "Uncle Carpenter really thinks too highly of us, not that much."

Carpenter Shen waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I won't ask you anymore, just go back to work. This beehive will be ready in two or three days. Come and get it then."

Shen Ruohao said politely, "Okay, thank you, uncle."

"Hey, first time." The carpenter's wife chased her out of the house, "Ruohao, your family makes so much money from beekeeping, can you help me?"

Shen Ruohao stopped and turned around and said, "My second sister said that she can help, but she has to give her ten taels of silver."

The carpenter's wife widened her eyes as if she wanted to take advantage, "Ten taels of silver?"

Shen Ruohao nodded, "This is the second sister's rule. If you don't follow her rules, she won't teach others how to keep bees."

"That's too much money." Naturally, the carpenter's wife didn't want to, "How can there be any sense in giving money before making money?"

Shen Ruohao didn't say anything, but he was cursing in his heart. There is no reason in the world to hand over your craftsmanship to others in vain!

The carpenter's wife waved her hand, "Ruohao, go back. Just pretend you didn't hear what happened just now."

Shen Ruohao turned around and went home.

Everyone is jealous of their own beekeeping. If they really want to keep it, they will pay for it. They don’t think of anything and just want to get it cheap. How can there be such a good thing in the world?



Shen Yun came to the door of Shen Ruoxi's yard, looked in, and shouted, "Ruohan, are you at home?"

"Here we come." Shen Ruohan was cleaning at home and filtered honey in the morning. Many pots and dishes were stained.

Shen Yun had a basket on her arm. She waved to Shen Ruohan, "Would you like to dig wild vegetables?"

Shen Ruohan said, "Okay, just wait for me and I'll get the basket and sickle."

Shen Yun nodded, "Go ahead. Today I will take you to a place where no one in the village goes to dig wild vegetables. I guarantee they will be tender and plentiful."

Shen Ruohan smiled and said, "Wait."

She ran back home and quickly got her things back, "Let's go and see the place you mentioned."
