Chapter 221 Phoenix 8 Brother
Chapter 221 Phoenix 8 Brother
"Then can you learn how you scared them before?" she continued.
"Whoa whoa-"
"woo woo woo woo--"
Just as she finished speaking.
The starling on my arm actually imitated the crying sounds of babies and women.
The voices switched back and forth, as if there were two people standing in front of her crying.
Learn at least 100% of it.
Fortunately, it was daytime. If it were night, if I didn't know there was a starling in the yard, I would have thought there was an wronged ghost in the yard.
Jiang Fubao's hair stood up because of its barking.
"What's that noise? Who's crying?"
Hearing the sound, the Jiang family looked up and looked around.
"Grandma, it's this bird crying! Phoenix, please learn how to sing it again for my family to hear. You are amazing."
I’m afraid this vain bird will not agree.
Jiang Fubao even praised it.
"Whoa whoa-"
"woo woo woo woo--"
Jiang Fubao has grasped the weakness of the starling. It is a vain bird that cannot stand being praised.
The Jiang family saw that the black bird on Jiang Fubao's arm could actually make human crying sounds.
Everyone was so scared that they stood there stupidly.
It took them a long while to come back to their senses.
"Oh my, what is this? It's broad daylight. Is this a ghost? How can a crow cry?"
"Is there really a ghost in the backyard?"
Zhang Jinlan and Sun Pingmei said together.
"This is not a crow. I heard there is a kind of bird whose feathers are all black except for its eyes, beak and claws which are yellow. Only the inside of its wings has white feathers. This bird is called the starling. It can learn human language, but I have never seen one. I didn't expect it to be true. It seems that the ghost crying at night is caused by it."
Jiang Shoujia, who was well-informed, walked up to his granddaughter.
After looking at it for a while, he explained it to his family as if he suddenly understood.
"I've only heard that rich people would keep parrots that could mimic human speech, but I didn't expect that there are starlings that can also mimic human speech. I don't know who gave it this name, it's really ugly, why call it a starling, why not call it Big Brother or Second Brother."
Seeing that there was no ghost in the yard, the timid Sun Pingmei started to complain.
"Second Aunt, it's not called Mynah Bird anymore. I gave it a new name, Phoenix."
Jiang Fubao heard the mynah bird cursing his aunt in his heart.
He quickly spoke out its new name.
"Hahaha, Phoenix, this black thing is called a Phoenix? Fubao, you are praising it too much. But it's okay. If it is called a Phoenix in this life, it will be reincarnated as a Phoenix in the next life. It can be considered that our Fubao is not calling it a Phoenix in vain."
Sun Pingmei held her stomach and almost got a stitch in the side from laughing.
It can be seen that my niece is pouting and the starling is chirping.
She quickly added.
The child and the bird stopped glaring at her.
After eating the watermelon, the phoenix flew back to the tree.
Ever since Jiang Fubao was reincarnated from the dead, the family has been blessed by immortals.
The Jiang family's ability to accept things has become much stronger.
After seeing the starling scholars.
They continued to be busy.
noon.
An ox cart stopped at the entrance of Jiangjia Village.
About twenty people gathered under a big tree at the entrance of the village.
Behind each person there is one or even two large bamboo baskets.
It was filled with bamboo tubes.
Seeing Jiang Lingu returning to the village, everyone rushed forward.
Surround him.
"Lin Gu, my family made 120 bamboo tubes, you can take them all."
"It's the same in my family. Oops, your uncle misheard you and thought you wanted 150. So we decided to finish them for you even if we had to stay up late. Well, 150, not one less.
Who knew that I just asked and found out that you only wanted 100, what about the remaining 50? You have to take them, otherwise our work will be in vain, right? Auntie didn't sleep all night. "
"Well, nephew, I was afraid you wouldn't have enough, so I thought of making more. One hundred and forty, that's only forty more. Can you take them?"
"Manager Lin, you are finally back. My family doesn't make much. One hundred and ten bamboo tubes. According to the price you agreed on, you have to give me eleven cents."
"..."
Everyone was trying to gain some connections and get Jiang Lingu to collect more.
After all, ten bamboo tubes are worth one penny.
If you make dozens more, you can earn a few more cents.
Jiang Lingu's face looked a little bad.
He didn't bring enough money.
I counted and found that there were twenty-five people.
If each person makes at least 100 bamboo tubes, he will have to pay 250 coins.
I spent 230 cents to rent the house before.
Plus eating and drinking also costs money.
I only have two hundred and forty coins on me.
It's simply not enough.
He clearly remembered that he had only visited twenty stores before.
Ma Chunxia's family and Wang Taohua's family also rejected him.
Why are there a few more people?
But he couldn't help thinking about it, and the noise of these people drowned out his thoughts.
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise!"
He shouted while standing on the bullock cart.
These people only calmed down for the sake of money.
"There are more of you than I expected, and I only accept 100 bamboo tubes from each family. I can take the extra, but I don't have enough money. After all, I didn't expect so many of you to come. If you feel comfortable, I will come next time and settle the bill. Of course, I can't run away.
My father is the clan leader and the village chief. Where can I go? I am the boss of the shop now. If business is booming, I am afraid these bamboo tubes will be used up in a few days. By then, I will have to collect at least fifty from each of the twenty-five of you every day, which means that you will earn five cents a day.
If I hadn't wanted to help you, I could have gone to a village close to town to collect the money. You should be grateful, understand? Okay, put all the bamboo tubes on the oxcart. I won't count them. I trust you once. Each of you take nine coins first. I'll give you the rest next time I come."
Jiang Lingu finished speaking.
These people were somewhat hesitant.
But then I saw him take out his purse and actually count the coins.
I don't have time to worry about it.
He quickly put his own bamboo basket on it.
The ox cart couldn't hold so many bamboo baskets, and in the end they were even stacked into two layers.
If the road is bumpy, the bamboo tube will fall down.
"Now that the coppers have been counted, I must hurry back to town."
After paying the money.
Jiang Lingu patted the driver on the shoulder.
The oxcart changed direction.
Heading towards the town.
"Oh, nine copper coins. Even if my son works odd jobs in town, he only makes seven coins a day. If he meets a wicked person, he won't even get seven coins. Lin Gu is a more conscientious child than the Jiang family!"
"That's right. The Jiang family is really evil. They only gave one cent for fifteen bamboo tubes. The clan leader's son is better."
"I won't waste my time talking to you. Lin Gu will be back in two days. I have to do more. What if his business is too good and he wants more next time? I have to make more money."
"My family doesn't cut much bamboo, so I have to go to the field and call my parents-in-law to come with me to cut bamboo."
The crowd dispersed at once.
Many people who were not notified looked at these people making a lot of money and their eyes turned red with envy.
