The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...

After a few days, the first batch of strawberries was ripe, and the family was busy, so Hui Niang called Aunt Qi and Xiaoxue, and Xiaoliu and Ma went to pick strawberries together. The first batch of strawberries, Hui Niang does not plan to sell, because there are not many ripe, in modern times Hui Niang loves to eat strawberries, and modern strawberries are surprisingly expensive, at this time the strawberries at home come out, the first thing that comes to mind is to hold on to their belly, eat it well. Hearing that the strawberries planted by Hui's family were ripe, let them go over to pick them, Ma and Xiaoyanagi were very happy, and Ma brought Fan Shaoxuan and Fan Shaoliang and Fan Qiqi sisters to Hui's house with Xiaoliu. The two Fan Shaoxuan brothers came with Ma's, Hui Niang was stunned for a while, and after listening to Ma's explanation, she realized that there were also winter vacations and summer vacations in ancient times, so she greeted them in with a smile, and took a small basket, and gave one to a few of them. I didn't forget to tell me: "Wait a while, let's go pick strawberries, you all give me some good behaves, don't step on it everywhere, if you trample the strawberries to death, I won't let you go again in the future, do you know?" Hui Niang knew that the children at this time were very skinny, if she didn't tell her, she would play with it, run around the east, make trouble in the west, and she wouldn't expect to make money with this strawberry. Miao Miao and Xiaoxue were the first to respond, "Got it." He smiled happily when he was finished. Hui Niang looked at the three brothers and sisters of Fan Shaoxuan, and when the three brothers and sisters saw Hui Niang's gaze swept over, they immediately responded in unison: "Got it, third aunt." "Okay, Aunt Qi, you take them over first, if the basket is full, Miao Miao, Qiqi and your brothers and sisters, don't pick them first, otherwise it will be bad, this strawberry is the most unacceptable thing, do you understand?" Not long after Hui Niang finished speaking, several children ran away with Aunt Qi. Xiaoliu and Ma smiled on the side, and Ma smiled and quipped: "Third brother and sister, I didn't think about it, just now you still have the potential to be the king of the mountain." Xiaoliu said: "Sister-in-law, you are wrong, how can the third sister-in-law have the potential to be the king of the mountain, it is clearly a leader." The two sang and harmonized, and Hui Niang was not angry, and said with a smile: "Hey, I called you here today to play." I'm not teased by you, and if you me off, I won't allow you to pick my strawberries. The three of them laughed haha. Following the Miao Miao brothers and sisters, as soon as they arrived at the place, Ma and Xiaoliu saw several acres of red and bright strawberries in front of them, and they looked very pleasing. It was about five or six o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was not very hot, and there was a gentle cool breeze, and the sunset shone on the strawberries, which was even more pleasing to reflect on those strawberries. Xiaoliu and Ma sighed twice, and then stepped forward to pick strawberries. There was no fun in this ancient world, and the other thing is that the countryside is inaccessible. It's not convenient to go anywhere. Since Fan Ming went out, the house has not been so lively for a while, and after picking for about half an hour, the baskets in the hands of several people are full.

After discussing it, she said she was going back. This pick is almost done, Hui Niang glanced at it. A few small ones who were having a good time called out, and Miao Miao and Fan Shaoxuan's brothers and sisters were a little reluctant to go back.

When Ma saw it, he said: "Okay, I know that you want to play, it's not early, we should go back to cooking, your father still has to eat." ”

Ma took Fan Shaoxuan, who was still a little reluctant, and slowly walked home, and after a long distance, Hui Niang also saw Fan Qiqi looking in the direction of Hui Niang's house.

Miao Miao and Xiaoxue were also reluctant, when they got home, before they ate, Miao Miao yawned and said that they wanted to sleep, Hui Niang coaxed: "Miao Miao, my mother will give you a bath first, and then sleep after taking a bath and eating, how about it?" ”

Miao Miao nodded, Ma and Fan Shaoxuan brothers and sisters were also very happy, and said in their hearts: It's good that I changed it, otherwise this kind of good thing, the third brother and sister will definitely not call it myself, Ma Shi feels more and more that he has changed for the better, and look at this popularity is much better than before.

A few days later, in a blink of an eye, it was the end of July, these days, there were far more ripe strawberries than in previous days, Hui Niang knew that this could not be delayed any longer, so she and Feng San went into the city to find Pei Muqing to talk about the problem of strawberry sales.

At this time, fruits such as strawberries and watermelons are still relatively rare, of course, this thing is rare, and the price is expensive.

Hui Niang knew this reason, so she wanted to talk to Pei Muqing about it, but it happened that this time Hui Niang went to Jubaolou to find Pei Muqing, and the shopkeeper Zhou told Hui Niang that Pei Muqing was not there, and when she heard the news, Hui Niang suddenly felt like she had been poured a basin of cold water, and she was a little depressed.

But he didn't show it on his face, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhou, when will your young master come to Jubaolou?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou frowned, "I'm afraid it's hard to say, didn't you say a while ago that our young master went to the north?" This hasn't come back yet, has it? ”

This time it was Hui Niang's turn to be shocked, "Haven't come back yet?" "It stands to reason that it shouldn't, it's been so long, it's been months, she hasn't been to this treasure building for a while, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

"yes." Shopkeeper Zhou was a little embarrassed on his face, obviously he didn't want to talk too much to Hui Niang, Pei Muqing's current situation.

Hui Niang's heart also had a bad premonition, and there was a feeling that the wind and rain were coming, and suddenly remembered, should this Pei Muqing really go to the capital to find someone to promote this corn planting method, then if this is the case, Pei Muqing should be more auspicious.

If it succeeds, it's okay to say, if it doesn't work, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back in the future, to put it selfishly, Hui Niang still doesn't want Pei Muqing to have anything to do in her heart, after all, how difficult it is to find a partner, Hui Niang still knows.

Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper Zhou, Hui Niang walked out of the treasure building with a depressed face, thinking about countermeasures in her heart, it seems that the dozens of catties of strawberries brought today have to find a place to sell them, otherwise they will be broken.

Hui Niang sighed, walked over to Feng San, who was waiting not far from the restaurant, reported a name, and let Feng San leave in the carriage.

Feng San was stunned, and the puzzled Chao Huiniang asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" Young Master Pei, he ......"

"Uncle Feng, don't ask yet, let's leave first." In this place where people come and go, it is really not suitable to talk about things.

Feng San nodded, and when Hui Niang got into the carriage, he drove the carriage out of the treasure building and went to the downtown of Yunzhou City, and found a random position, Feng San stopped the carriage, and Hui Niang got off the carriage and took down the basket with strawberries in the carriage.

Downtown area, as the name suggests, is of course the most lively place in Yunzhou, the right side is close to the vegetable market, this downtown is so many people come and go every day, countless.

Hui Niang asked Feng San to guard here, she went to pay a few pennies for the stall fee, took a sign, came back soon, found a not very big position, put a basket of strawberries on the ground, and began to sell.

Strawberries, this is still a novelty in Yunzhou, many people who have never seen it, listening to Hui Niang's call, there are many people around, but no one is willing to pay for it, one by one watching from a distance, wondering how this strawberry is sold.

Hui Niang grinned and said, "It's not expensive, thirty-five dollars a catty." "It's a bit difficult to sell for a high price in this busy market, but Hui Niang won't say too low a price.

The onlookers were frightened by the price Hui Niang said, and some of them were still muttering: "This catty of meat is only twenty yuan, and this strawberry is thirty-five yuan a catty, and this strawberry is ten yuan more expensive than meat." ”

"It's not, but this strawberry is a rare thing at first glance, and it is reasonable to be expensive."

Those onlookers discussed for a while, and then left one after another, Hui Niang did not stay, this price is indeed expensive for ordinary people, but she is mainly for rich people, such as those in charge of high-ranking families, but they will not think this thing is expensive.

The more expensive things are, they can kill half of the price, and then increase the price they bought back, then the price in the middle is all in charge, like the stewards of these rich families targeted by Hui Niang, all these stewards and the like, it is definitely not an ordinary character, there must be some backstage behind it, otherwise it is impossible to achieve such a sufficient position of oil and water.

So at this time, Hui Niang is full of confidence, if someone comes forward to ask, and kindly explains to others, in this way, there are many people who see it, and there are very few people who buy it, and there are so many people who have money in their hands, they will spend a dozen dollars, pick up a few and take them back to try it, and if they don't have money, they can only look at it twice, and then leave.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and the strawberries were only sold for a few catties, Hui Niang hoped to have a rich person, but none of them came, and she was a little depressed, but Hui Niang saw Feng San on the side shouting energetically, and there was a little comfort in her heart, and the trace of irritability that had just floated was quickly suppressed.

Finally, before noon, there was a generous steward, who bought ten catties at once, these dozens of catties of strawberries, went to a third at once, Hui Niang's confidence came back, added a few more taels to the steward, and pretended to the steward separately, the steward saw that Hui Niang was so good at behaving, and said to Hui Niang with a smile: "The little lady is quite good at business?" If our master eats your strawberries and thinks it's delicious, I'll buy them from you in the future. ”

"Thank you for the help of the steward, you can rest assured, as long as your master eats it, I think this strawberry is delicious, and it is the most suitable to make some strawberries on a hot day to relieve the heat, but this can't be eaten more, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach." Hui Niang said with a smile.

Hui Niang's words made the steward listen to it very comfortably, and felt that this village woman knew a lot, gave ten catties of strawberry money, and happily took the strawberries that Hui Niang had packed and left.

Feng San looked at Hui Niang with admiration, it was not early at this time, Hui Niang was about to collect the strawberries and was going to have lunch, who knows, but at this time he heard the voice that Hui Niang never wanted to hear in her life.
