Chapter 077: Birthday Banquet Yihong is a metaphor for the destiny of heaven
In the Beijing Palace, the princess wanted to eat candied tomatoes, and the person in charge of the small kitchen of the palace went around half of Jinling City and finally found "green fruits and vegetables". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Some people recognized her, and hurriedly said to the grandmother surnamed Ma: "This little girl is stupid, her grandmother asked her to sell it as ginseng fruit no matter what kind of dish she had." ”
"What is the ginseng fruit, other people's families don't have tomatoes to sell at this time, only my family has, that is my grandma spent a lot of effort and effort, grandma said that God rewards hard work, naturally some people understand the hard work. ”
The little girl was suddenly not stupid, although she was still smiling, but what she said was convincing.
Mama Ma didn't say a word, and immediately paid a tael of silver and bought five catties of tomatoes.
It is said that the ladies in the palace, because they have to keep the system for the old lady, the rest is not good, not to mention the tiredness all day long, and they have to quit meat, and there are few appetites that are good, Princess Beijing sent the news that "Qingqing fruits and vegetables" have fresh vegetables to sell into the palace, and about an hour later, a few yellow-shirted people drove the carriage over, bought the vegetables in the Qing'er store at one time, and agreed that tomorrow morning, they will come to buy vegetables again, if there are other melons and vegetables also sent together, the palace will choose and then sell them to other families.
"Little girl, you have good luck, just now it is the father-in-law of the imperial kitchen, I heard that the ladies in the palace love to taste fresh, and your vegetables will not be sold. The proprietress of the restaurant came over to talk to her again.
"Beautiful sister, my name is Wang Qing'er, I will be your neighbor in the future, please take care of my sister. Qing'er hurriedly put it on, and enthusiastically gave the remaining tomatoes to the proprietress and said: "This is specially left for my sister, not a tribute, please taste it fresh." ”
The proprietress is still polite, and the boy who is playing at the door of the restaurant comes over like a wind, grabs one and eats it.
"Mother, Qing'er's tomatoes are so delicious!" It turned out that this was the little son of the boss's wife.
Glancing at her own fat son who looked like a dough, the proprietress was moved, and she was no longer polite, took the tomatoes, and said to Qing'er with a smile: "Miss Qing'er calls me Aunt Jiang, that's my bastard boy, who was born in early May of the last year of Chen, so it's called May Day, and I'm nine years old this year." ”
"Qing'er has seen Brother Wuyi!" Qing'er pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, pretending to be blessed.
Wang Gou'er hid in the back room and slept beautifully, and just woke up at this time, heard the words in front of him, and turned to the front slowly.
"The next surname is Wang, and he is Qing'er's father, thank you for the sister-in-law of the Jiang family for taking care of the little girl!"
"Oh, it turns out that Miss Qing'er's father is also here, fortunately, fortunately, the slave family is polite here. The proprietress was blessed for a moment, and secretly scolded herself: "I have never seen this kind of father, sleeping in the house by himself, and letting a little girl support the storefront." ”
Wang Gou'er didn't have time to be polite to her, so he quickly put on the door panel, sent Qing'er back to Rongguo Mansion first, and went home to clean up tomorrow's vegetables, and by the way, he cleaned up some of the various dried vegetables, and still sold them at a stall.
The next day, the man in the yellow shirt came again to buy all the fresh vegetables, and also bought some dried melons and vegetables.
A few of the giants and eunuchs who came here only had to buy dried melons and vegetables, so they immediately agreed with Qing'er to buy her family's vegetables on a monthly basis, and left a fixed amount of money to let Wang Gou'er deliver vegetables to the door every day.
It seems that the small shop that can't be opened is running extremely prosperously, and Grandma Liu is more and more important, and she has let most of her family be a seven-year-old girl.
Seeing that the vegetables are about to go on the market, Qing'er adjusted the price of vegetables in time, Qing'er and many large households signed an agreement to supply vegetables, and the vegetable land at home is in short supply, so they negotiated with their tenants to underwrite their vegetables at the same price last year, and sold all the vegetables in the field, and the vegetable farmers were naturally very happy, and Qing'er signed a supply and marketing contract happily.
Liu Jiaxiang knew that Qing'er was buying vegetables at a high price in the city, and given the relationship between the two families, he did not expose her, and secretly signed a contract with the tenant, ready to make a lot of money.
Many villagers around Jinling City are living by selling vegetables, but they do not know the changes in the price of vegetables in the city, and the traders in the city know that this year's vegetables are expensive, so they go to the countryside to contract large tracts of vegetable fields, sign purchase contracts, and want to make a lot of money.
When it comes to the big market of vegetables, the prices of vegetables in the whole city are ridiculously high, but the price of "green fruits and vegetables" is only twice as high as in previous years, and many large households quickly signed regular delivery agreements.
As a result, the honest vegetable farmers picked up the cheap, and those traders saw that they were unprofitable, and continued to buy vegetables, losing even more, so they had to breach the contract and lose their deposits in vain.
However, those big households think that "Qingqing fruits and vegetables" go with the market, do not deceive or deceive, but do not regret signing a peace contract with him, and she also took the initiative to reduce the delivery price at the right time to create a good business reputation.
seems to have calculated Liu Jiaxiang's actions, Qing'er just used his vegetables to fill the shortage of his supply, ate his vegetables and vegetables, helped him recover his losses, and ended up with a big favor.
However, Liu Jiaxiang is responsible for the labor of delivering vegetables, anyway, his family has a carriage and directly delivers the vegetables to Qing'er's shop.
For her tenants, in addition to the promised loan, Qing'er held a family banquet, invited all the tenants to eat, and divided half of the money earned to everyone in proportion.
In this way, the entire Liujiatun who planted vegetables was grateful for Qing'er's kindness, because they thought about how his family's vegetables were listed earlier than others, they all came to seek advice, and they all said that they would listen to her about what vegetables to plant and how to plant them in the coming year.
Because Qingwen is not good at showing her head, and she can't cook, she does some needlework at home, tidying up the family, and from time to time making a few delicate decorations such as shoes, hats and purses, and selling them in "Xue Ji" to earn a few pocket money.
Ban'er has to go to school, and Grandma Liu and Wang Liu's fields are too busy, so the matter of selling vegetables falls on Qing'er and Wang Gou'er, and Wang Gou'er is also responsible for transportation, and Qing'er guards the shop most of the time.
Jiafu will receive vegetables sent by Qing'er's family every day, and Grandma Liu obeyed Qing'er's instructions and resolutely did not charge money for vegetables, saying that if it were not for the help of the old lady, Mrs. and aunt when it was difficult, where is today, I can't forget my roots, my Grandma Liu buys vegetables for a day, and the small dishes in Jiafu have the filial piety of my family picking up the top.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng combined, their family did not have a carriage, and the transportation of vegetables was borrowed from the Liu family's car, so they simply sent them the extra carriage in the family.
The things in Jiafu are naturally much better than those sold on the market, and the value of this half-new carriage alone is enough for them to send vegetables to Jiafu for a few years.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, May 28, is Jia Baoyu's birthday, because no one has heard of it, Qing'er ignored the matter, did not prepare any birthday gifts, and even forgot to kowtow to his birthday.
Because the deadline for the national funeral system has not passed, the house does not dare to hold a birthday banquet, the raider and a few big girls discussed, each of them made up five dollars of silver, and the little girls of Yihong Courtyard each had three dollars of silver, and quietly handed over the kitchen to Sister-in-law Liu to buy dishes, and Heping'er asked for a jar of Shaoxing rice wine, and made a birthday for Baoyu in Yihong Courtyard.
At night, the attacker ordered the two kang tables to be placed together on the kang, and the Liu family had prepared forty plates of delicate dishes, vegetables and fruits.
Several big girls went separately to invite Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai, Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan and Sanchun sisters, because Li Wen lived in Daoxiang Village, so even the eldest grandmother Li Kun was invited.
Baoyu first placed Daiyu well, and intimately brought cushions to her to cushion her back, and then, the girls also sat down around the kang table one after another.
Qiu Wen took out a bamboo carved stick holder, which contained an ivory flower name signature, shook it, and blocked it in the middle of the kang table.
The dice shook six points, and when she counted Xue Baochai, she smiled and said, "I'll catch it first, I don't know what to catch." ”
I drew a lot, and everyone went to see it, but it was a peony, inscribed with the words "Yan Guan Qunfang", and below was a Tang poem: Ren is ruthless and moving.
I didn't think much about it at the time, and read the remarks that wrote: "Congratulations at the table, this is the crown of the group, order people at will, regardless of poetry and harmony, or a new song to congratulate." ”
Everyone laughed and said: "It's very coincidental, you are also with peony flowers." ”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
Baochai ordered Fang Guan'er to sing a song for everyone.
"When the birthday banquet opens, the scenery is good...... "Fang Guan'er sang in response to the scene.
"Stop, I don't need you to come to Shangshou at this time, pick up your good singing. Everyone laughed.
Fang Guan'er sang a song "When Enjoying the Flowers": "The green phoenix feathers tie the broom, and the flowers are swept away by the gate of heaven......"
After singing, Xue Baochai threw the dice, sixteen o'clock, it was Tanchun's turn to draw lots, she took it casually and took a look, blushed, threw it on the table and said with a smile: "You shouldn't play this order, what bastard words are there!"
Everyone rushed over to see, it turned out to be a red apricot, the inscription is "Yaochi immortal product", and the poem cloud: "The red apricot on the sun side is planted on the clouds." ”
The note is even more interesting: "Those who get this sign will get your son-in-law, everyone congratulates a cup, and then drinks a cup together." ”
"It's amazing, the aura of heaven and earth has gathered in your house!" Shi Xiangyun suddenly shouted exaggeratedly, clapped his hands and smiled: "Your family has already produced an imperial concubine, can't Sister Tanchun also be a princess?"
"Sister-in-law, listen to her bastard words, you don't punish her quickly!"
"She didn't become a princess, so you naturally drank this cup obediently!" Li Kun said, and several people helped pour a cup of Tanchun.
After everyone drank together, it was Daiyu's turn, and she secretly said in her heart: "I don't know if there are any good ones that I have drawn." ”
Stretched out his hand and smoked one, only to see a hibiscus painted on it, inscribed with the words "Wind Dew and Clear Sorrow", and hurriedly looked at the following, it was the ancient poem on the pen holder: "Don't complain about the east wind when you sigh to yourself." ”
At this time, the shock in her heart was indescribable, and she knew in her heart that this was no coincidence, and she paid special attention to the pen holders that Qing'er gave to Baochai, Tanchun and others were all the words in this sign. (To be continued.) )
