Chapter 276: Rare things are precious
Tang Tiezhu said with a face: "Jiao'er, why are you so unruly." ”
Tang Qing'er took Jiao'er's hand and said, "Dad, how old is she?" is talking about the New Year's money, Xianggong has been ready for a long time, just waiting to come home to his younger brothers and sisters. ”
"yes, Daddy." Xue Qianxun echoed lightly.
Li patted the master's arm and said, "When your daughter-in-law comes back, what are you doing with a straight face?" He glared at Jiao'er again and said, "Jiao'er is a big girl, you can't be so big or small, what are you doing when you don't take taro out of the house,"
Jiao'er pouted and said, "There is Man'er taking care of the taro in the house, so I will take the opportunity to come out for a walk." ”
Li shook his head and said, "You girl, why are you so ignorant, you left your sister alone in the house to take care of your brother, and ran out by yourself." ”
"I'm not watching my brother-in-law and sister return home, and I forgot about ...... for a while."
Tang Qing'er saw that her father was about to get angry again, so she hurriedly said, "Jiao'er hurry up and go into the house and bring Man'er and Taro over." ”
Jiao'er hid behind the eldest sister, afraid of her father's anger, and hurriedly followed the eldest sister's words: "Well, I'll go over now," and trotted away.
Tang Qing'er pulled Xue Qianxun out again, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that you would give your father an idea?" He was too busy in the shop all day long. ”
"What does Qing'er mean by that?" Regarding the things in the shop, Tang Tiezhu's face was slightly better, and he asked.
Xue Qianxun said: "I heard my mother say that around the New Year, many people in the town went to your shop to order treasure chests?" ”
"Yes, I can't be busy, and I'm afraid that I'll find other carpenters to come over and learn this trick, so I, your second uncle and Brother Xiang have been busy in the shop."
"Dad, I'll give you an idea, can you do it? You sell 10 of these treasure chests every month? ”
Tang Tiezhu thought about it and shook his head and said, "This is not good, if you sell ten a month, when will you be able to earn money to buy a shop?"
As soon as Xue Qianxun said this, Tang Qing'er understood what he was thinking, from ancient times to the present, everything is rare and expensive, the less it is sold, the more everyone will rush to rob it, which raises the price of the item, tunnel: "Dad, don't worry, Xianggong hasn't finished saying this?" ”
Xue Qianxun continued: "Now this treasure chest is so popular with the ladies and ladies of the town, if my father makes a large number of them, resulting in one person in the future, this sense of strangeness will slowly subside, if you want to continue the business of this treasure chest, it is best to sell ten a month, first served, first served, not only to ensure that there are always customers, but also to allow you and the second uncle to rest normally." ”
"That's a good idea, but as my uncle said, it costs so much money to buy this shop, and if you sell it like this, when will you be able to earn the money from this shop, besides, if this treasure chest is sold for a long time, it will be made by other carpenters sooner or later."
Xue Qianxun said lightly: "You can take the opportunity to raise the price, just say that there are too many people who order it, you can't be busy, so the person who buys the treasure chest won't say anything?" He looked at Brother Xiang and said: "For you to say that after a long time, other carpenters can also make treasure chests, I thought about it, why not engrave the word 'Tang' in the hidden place of the treasure chest you made, and someone in the province will take your signboard and sell the treasure chest to the townspeople." ”
Brother Xiang thought about what Xue Qianxun said, felt that it was very reasonable, and said with a smile: "It's better to be a scholar, know more, understand more, put this matter on him, and immediately come up with a countermeasure." ”
"Xun'er's method is really good, but there are too many people in the shop to order treasure chests, and if Xun'er says, it will take two months before it can be implemented." Tang Tiezhu thought that the ladies and ladies in the town had ordered more than fifty treasure chests in his place before the New Year.
"Dad, you promised to do these things slowly, if someone still orders a treasure chest for you, you will shirk it and say, there is a lot of work in your hands, you can't be busy, wait until these treasure chests are finished, and then make it for them, so take your time, everyone knows that you can only make about ten treasure chests every month."
Tang Tiezhu said with a smile: "This is a very good idea, Xun'er has helped my father a lot." ”
Li Shi saw that the corners of the master's mouth couldn't close the smile, and teased: "You were angry just now, and now you are the one who is laughing happily, the older you get, the more strange your temper becomes." ”
Tang Tiezhu's face turned red, and he said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense about? ”
Tang Qing'er and Brother Xiang couldn't help laughing, and the corners of Xue Qianxun's mouth also smiled lightly when they saw this.
At this time, Feng Xiao and Sanshun entered the main hall, and saw that everyone in the family was laughing, so he said uncertainly: "What are you laughing at?" ”
Li Shi said in a slow tone, "Xiao'er and Sanshun have put things in order?" ”
Feng Xiaodao: "Well, put the food in the kitchen, and put the ones in my room." ”
"Okay, it's hard work." Li touched Feng Xiao's head and praised him affectionately.
Feng Xiao and Feng Man have always known their background, they are not children of the Tang family, they have to go back to their homes sooner or later, and they will get back all the things they have lost, but he and Man'er like to be the babies of Tang Tiezhu and his wife, they are really good to their brothers and sisters, but if Tang Yang has anything for them, their brothers and sisters will also get the same thing, and they will not treat them because they are not biological, so they can do something for this family, he always rushes to do it.
Feng Xiao scratched his head and said, "Mother, I'm your son, shouldn't I help you work?" ”
Li Shi was stunned for a moment, hugged him and said, "No, it is natural for a mother to call her son to work,"
Feng Xiao nodded vigorously and gave Li a big smile back.
After Sanshun entered the house, he first greeted the young master and the young lady, and then gave the Tang family a New Year's greeting one by one, Li took out the silver from his arms and handed it to him: "It's the New Year, this is the New Year's money for you, I hope you have a good fortune this year." ”
Tang Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother, even if you don't give Sanshun silver, he will be a happy event this year?" ”
Sanshun thanked his in-laws for the silver given by his wife, stood in the room with a red face and looked at the young master like a helper, but the young master was really stingy with a look, so he could only smile and say, "I'm going to marry a wife next year." After speaking, he lowered his head with a flushed face.
Tang Qing'er sneered: "Sanshun, are you embarrassed?" ”
Li glared at his daughter and said, "There are no rules at all, and I'm not afraid of Sanshun laughing at you for not having a master." ”
"Sanshun don't dare? Isn't it? ”
"What Madame said is that it's too late for the slave to thank you, how dare you...... How dare you...... What about laughing at you? ”
Li said: "Why do you want to thank you for getting married?" ”
Tang Qing'er said crisply: "Because Sanshun's family was facilitated by me, of course he thanked me." ”
Sanshun bent over and said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, the slave Mrs. Xie is complete." ”
"Alright, alright, no kidding you." Tang Qing'er saw that Sanshun's head couldn't be lowered, and said kindly.
Sanshun hurriedly raised his head and showed mercy to Mrs. Xie, slowly raised his feet and went to stand beside the young master, and let the lady see it and make fun of him.
Xue Qianxun said kindly: "You go home first!" When it gets dark, I'll come and pick me up and my wife back home. ”
Hearing this, Sanshun's eyes were excited and only tears flowed, since the young master and Mrs. got married, the young master's heart is getting better and better, on the contrary, Mrs.'s temperament is getting worse and worse, people say that those who are close to Zhu are red and close to ink are black, why are the two of them temperamental but the opposite, for fear that the young master will regret it, Sanshun hurriedly said: "Yes," turned around and left.
Even though Feng Xiao is a little mature, he is a half-grown baby, and he doesn't want to leave when he is held in Li's arms, so he is tired of Li's arms and says, "Eldest sister, brother-in-law, you haven't given me New Year's money yet?" ”
"Gotcha! This is another little money essence," Tang Qing'er said to Xue Qianxun.
As she was talking, Jiao'er hugged the taro, followed by Man'er and walked out of the house, Feng Xiao said playfully: "Sister, there are all the people here, you can't help it." ”
Tang Qing'er stretched out her hand to Xue Qianxun and said, "The younger brothers and sisters have all come out, give me the New Year's money that is ready for the New Year!" ”
Xue Qianxun took out five New Year's money from his arms and handed it to Qing'er, Tang Qing'er took the New Year's money and said to his younger siblings with a smile: "You hurry up and give me and your brother-in-law New Year's greetings,"
Jiao'er stiffened her neck and said, "Don't give it!" Didn't I just give you a New Year's greeting, why do you want me to worship you?"
Tang Qing'er shook her head and said, "Not counting just now, this time you stood in a row and greeted us in unison." ”
Jiao'er snorted: "Eldest sister, I don't want it." ”
"Then you just don't want to press the New Year's money." Tang Qing'er blinked.
"Big sister...... You...... You are so hateful. Jiao'er glared at Tang Qing'er and stomped her feet.
"Hurry up, don't wait for the obsolete time,"
Except for Tang Yang who went to the master's house and didn't come back, even Feng Xiao, who was the youngest and had just been able to walk, stood up, from tall to short, and a few little radish heads in the family greeted Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun together: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law has a good New Year,"
Tang Qing'er seemed to have a look at Xue Qianxun for demonstration, and it was clearly written in her eyes: See, this is my younger brothers and sisters, look at your younger brothers and sisters, one by one, they are hypocritical to me, and they still look down on them when they send them things during the New Year, and they get angry when they think of it.
Xue Qianxun pretended not to understand the meaning in Qing'er's eyes, and said to the younger brothers and sisters of the Tang family with a light smile: "You guys hurry up and snatch away the New Year's money!" He pointed to the New Year's money in Tang Qing'er's hand.
As soon as the words fell, Jiao'er quickly snatched a New Year's money from the eldest sister, looked at the eldest sister provocatively and said: "Actually, my brother-in-law didn't finish what he said just now, and he was going to say that the eldest sister may regret not giving us the New Year's money at any time,"
Xue Qianxun nodded approvingly, Jiao'er was like a student who was praised by the teacher, and her smiling eyes narrowed and said, "I know the eldest sister's capricious temperament best." ”
Tang Qing'er stretched out her finger and tapped her on the head, saying, "Don't you know me?" I'm beating you, why don't you hide,"
Jiao'er said pitifully: "Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, I took your money, shouldn't you be beaten twice?" ”
Tang Qing'er laughed angrily at Jiao'er's fallacies and fell into Xue Qianxun's arms, and said, "Do you think my sister is cute?" ”
Xue Qianxun curled the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "If you have a sister, you must have a sister, how can you not be cute." Boasting about Qing'er in and out of the words, Tang Tiezhu and his wife looked at their son-in-law so pampered on the sidelines, and they were happy for her.
Man'er stepped forward with the taro, pouted and said, "Sister, I'll let you beat it, will you also give me the New Year's money?"
Tang Qing'er couldn't hold back her laughter even more, and gasped: "Even if you don't fight Man'er, the eldest sister will give you New Year's money." ”
Man'er immediately changed her expression, and said crisply: "Sister Xie Lu, Brother-in-law Xie Xie." ”
Taro didn't know what was going on, seeing the young lady smiling so happily, grabbing her hand and thumping and screaming.
Tang Qing'er withdrew from Xue Qianxun's arms, picked up the taro on the ground and said, "Do you remember the eldest sister?" ”
Taro couldn't speak, just stretched out his little hand to grab Qing'er's hair, hehe, and smiled.
Li stepped forward, shook his head at the taro and said, "Don't mess up my sister's well-knit bun, come...... Mother's hug. Saying that, he stretched out his hand to take the taro away from Qing'er, how could the taro look good at the hairpin on Qing'er's head, just reach out and reach, Li was afraid that he would mess up Qing'er's bun, and forcefully hugged the taro from Qing'er's arms to his arms.
Taro was not happy, and was about to cry with his mouth shut, but Man'er stepped forward and whispered to reassure: "Taro doesn't cry, see what my sister got for you?" He took out a sugar cube from his pocket and handed it to the taro, and when the little guy saw what he usually ate, he hurriedly stretched out his fat little hand to hold it, and 'ahh
Tang Qing'er nodded his nose and said, "You are happy and tight every day." ”
Taro yelled at Tang Qing'er, Li hurriedly hugged the taro who was about to fall and said to Qing'er: "Don't tease him anymore, the more you tease him, the more energetic he becomes,"
Jiao'er also echoed: "That's it, eldest sister, you can't ignore him, if he sticks to you, there will be times when you cry." "Taro's spirit is getting better and better now, if she and Man'er are brought down in a day, the two of them are exhausted after being the most tired, but he still looks very energetic.
Xue Qianxun looked at the taro, his eyes became softer and softer, and he couldn't help but fantasize about whether he and Qing'er's future children would be like taro, so pleasing to people.
Li Shi noticed the expression on Xun'er's face, and looked at Qing'er who was laughing happily with taro very meaningfully, thinking that there were some things that she still had to talk to her, after all, she would be fourteen years old after the New Year, and she had reached the age of giving birth.
Then Li said, "What do you want to eat at noon?" I'll do it for you. ”
Tang Qing'er didn't care much and said: "Just eat a little as you like, these days, Xianggong and I, who eat big fish and meat every day in the house, are a little sick to our stomachs, and we can't eat anything." ”
Li Shi nodded, and said, "Your uncles brought us some green vegetables in the first year, and my mother blanched them and ate them in fried meat sauce, how about it?" ”
"Really, there are still dipping pickles at home," Tang Qing'er said in surprise.
"Well, it was your uncles who planted vegetables in the house, and they produced more than ten catties in total, and brought us five catties, and your father and I were reluctant to eat them, thinking that we would take them out to eat when you came home."
Hearing this, Tang Qing'er blamed: "The uncles sent them to you to eat, so you will eat them, don't stay and wait for us to come and eat." ”
"You kid, my mother knows that you can eat anything, and we don't have to worry about it, but it is very rare to dip pickles this winter, so I will keep it for you to come and eat together."
"Okay!" Tang Qing'er didn't say anything, and her mother could refute any reason.
Li Shi winked at Qing'er and said, "You and Jiao'er go to the kitchen to help me, and Man'er will play with taro in the house," and the rest of the people talked and chatted in the house.
Tang Qing'er instantly understood that her mother was deliberately taking her away, and wanted to say something private to her, she nodded and followed her mother's words: "Okay, I haven't cooked with my mother for a long time." ”
The three of them went to the kitchen together to cook and were busy cooking, while Xue Qianxun accompanied his father-in-law and Brother Xiang in the house, and attached a brother-in-law who troubled him from time to time.
