After Zhao Liya and the others discussed it, tomorrow Zhao Xiang, Hu Ling, and Zhao Liya will go to the county town with Ganoderma lucidum and silver to go to Yu Gongcao to intercede.
It's okay to go to Zaihu Village tomorrow afternoon. Anyway, there are two clan leaders there, and Li Guangwu and his brothers have arranged to watch over them, which is very safe and reliable.
The lychees in the yard are ripe, and the family has been eating them for several days. The flesh is white and crystal clear, sweet and juicy, and not to mention delicious. I went to see Yu Gongcao today and picked some to take with me.
Widow Qu went to the vegetable patch and picked a lot of beans, eggplants, red peppers, and loofahs, as well as a few clusters of fresh ginger. She also put a basket on her back for them to take with them.
Although this is a local specialty and not worth much, it is still appreciated, right?
Regardless of whether you have gifts from others, you will always feel happy in your heart.
Besides, young ginger is a good thing in this season, and it’s not cheap. Chop the red pepper and garlic cloves into small pieces, mix them with the washed young ginger, put them into a jar, and marinate them for about half a month. It’s fragrant, sour, and spicy.
Whether it’s stir-fried or served directly with porridge, it’s great!
Yu Gongcao and the other three entered the city and soon inquired about Yu Gongcao's family.
Yu Gongcao's wife was very happy when she saw that they had brought so many things, especially when she saw so many bright and beautiful red peppers and white and tender young ginger.
Pour a bowl of tea.
The tea brewed from the leaves of Huangpi fruit is refreshing and thirst-quenching, with a hint of sweetness.
Zhao Xiang presented two Ganoderma lucidum plants and complained and begged for mercy. Zhao Liya occasionally added a sentence or two, and while begging for mercy, she also told the story about the Gu family taking away a Ganoderma lucidum plant.
"...We really couldn't find it. We also asked the people from Zaihu Village and went into the mountains with them to look for it. We really couldn't find it. There was nothing we could do..."
Zhao Liya did not say how old the Ganoderma lucidum taken away by the Gu family was. When Yu Gongcao saw the two plants in front of him, he took it for granted that the one taken by the Gu family was also that big, and suddenly frowned: "The Gu family is getting more and more outrageous.
! If anyone has anything to hand over in the future, please remember to bring it directly to me and don’t give it to them.”
"Yes, sir."
Yu Gongcao didn't say anything else about the Gu family. In a place like Yancun, there should be people like the Gu family who can suppress them, otherwise it would be easy to cause trouble. To the Gu family, he always treated the Gu family with both kindness and power, giving a sweet date with a stick.
As long as the Gu family doesn't make too much noise, he won't care.
Of course, it doesn't matter to him if someone pulls Gu Jia down and replaces him.
It’s not that you have to take care of your family.
After several conversations, Zhao Liya already knew that Yu Gongcao did not regard the Gu family as his own, and what he needed was a manager.
Yu Gongcao said: "If there are three such large Ganoderma lucidum plants, I can barely handle it, but there are only two plants... It's a bit difficult!"
Zhao Xiang and the others begged hard, and finally took out the ten taels of silver they had saved, and finally got over the matter.
Zhao Xiang was lucky and said: "Fortunately, the two sons of the criminals found some Hericium and red fungi when they went into the mountains. They were lucky enough to meet businessmen from the provincial capital and sold them to them and made some money. Otherwise, this time,
It’s true, it’s true...Thanks to your lord, I finally handed over this errand."
Yu Gongcao's wife was doing needlework nearby. When she heard this, she raised her head and smiled: "Hericium? Oh, this is a good thing! It's not easy to get. You guys are really lucky!"
Zhao Liya immediately smiled and said: "Yes, we will not miss a while this time before going into the mountains. If we are so lucky to find it again, we will give some to Mrs. Yu to try. Other mushrooms in the mountains are also quite good.
If Mrs. Yu doesn't mind the delicious food, she will bring it all."
Yu Gongcao's wife immediately beamed: "Oh, how can you be so embarrassed!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Things in the mountains are not valuable at all. Just don't dislike them."
Yu Gongcao's wife smiled and stopped talking, obviously very satisfied.
After a while, Zhao Xiang and the others said goodbye and left.
Hu Ling could not help but mutter: "He is just a small official, but he is also so greedy..." His adoptive father had never done such a thing before.
Zhao Liya said: "Stop talking, this is settled."
Zhao Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that no wonder people said that officials are as smooth as oil, it is indeed good.
On the other side, Yu Gongcao's daughter-in-law said to Yu Gongcao: "The Zhao family is a good family and they are very knowledgeable. I say if you can help them, just help one or two. Such a family is better than the one who can't squeeze anything out of them."
The poor guy is much stronger!"
Yu Gongcao looked at her: "Okay, what do you know!"
Yu Gongcao's wife hummed: "I don't understand, I only know that smart and knowledgeable people are much better than stupid and incompetent people!"
Yu Gongcao: "..."
Yu Gongcao's wife: "Besides, what can you do no matter how smart you are? Why don't you just let us decide? Once you get to this place, is it possible that you can still turn the world upside down?"
Yu Gongcao: "..."
Yu Gongcao's wife encouraged her again. She was really unwilling to have such a good Ganoderma taken away by the Gu family. Since the Zhao family had already replenished the money, if they could get the Ganoderma back, wouldn't it become their own?
How can Ganoderma lucidum from the 1950s and 1960s be sold for a lot of money?
Why is it cheaper for the Gu family?
The Gu family is too ignorant. Even if they take it away, they should use it to honor them.
Yu Gongcao also felt that it made sense. The Gu family took the Ganoderma lucidum and kept it secret. What did it mean? What did they want to do? It was time to beat it again, otherwise it would not go to heaven!
Yu Gongcao quickly found Boss Gu and asked him about Ganoderma lucidum.
The Gu family was upset when they found out that the Zhao family had turned over to Yu Gongcao. When Yu Gongcao asked, he complained even more. How could Boss Gu dare to hide it? He handed it over immediately.
When Yu Gongcao saw him taking out such a small Ganoderma lucidum, he was obviously trying to fool himself, which shows that his heart has really grown up.
Boss Gu was scolded all over the place.
Boss Gu finally gritted his teeth and handed over five taels of silver and received a scolding before the matter was over.
Boss Gu went home with a sullen face. When he mentioned this, the whole family became very angry and wanted to settle accounts with the Zhao family, blaming them for talking nonsense.
Boss Gu said coldly: "Forget it, there is no point in talking about this matter anymore. If something happens again, it will be hard to explain to Yu Gongcao if he knows about it."
Yu Gongcao had just punished him, but his family was causing trouble for the Zhao family because of this matter. Doesn't this mean he was dissatisfied with Gongcao?
The Gu family was not afraid of the Zhao family, but they had to consider their merits. They felt extremely aggrieved and said, "We can't just let this matter go!"
Boss Gu sneered: "Of course not, it's time for Hulu to propose marriage to the Qu family."
"Um?"
Everyone was not as insidious as Boss Gu, and they didn't understand why this topic jumped so quickly.
Boss Gu said calmly: "Aren't the Qu family and the Zhao family now one family? When Qu Yutao gets married to Hulu, he and the Zhao family will naturally become relatives..."
