In the evening, Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou returned to Yang's house, Yang Xuan's eyes were bright, and he saw Yang Yun covering four baskets of green plums under the eaves with a cloth. He ran over and lifted the cloth covering it, took two green plums directly from the bamboo basket, and took them to his mouth without washing them and took a bite.
"Bah, bah, ah! It's so sour. Yang Yun looked at Yang Xuan's clumped little face, and couldn't straighten her waist with a smile. Yang Yun saw his actions earlier, but she deliberately didn't tell him.
"Sister, you're so bad, you laugh like this, you must have seen me just now that I want to eat green fruits, and you didn't remind me, such sour green fruits, your teeth are sour."
"You stinky boy, your eyes are bright, you don't ask if you can eat it, and you can eat it directly in your mouth without washing it, who can blame you."
"Hmph, who told you to put the fruit here, I saw it at a glance. It's so sour, my teeth must be broken. ā
"Your teeth are not broken, but you must not be able to bite the braised pig's feet tonight, and I cooked the braised pig's feet again tonight."
"Sister, you're so bad." Yang Xuan looked at Yang Yun with a wicked smile on his face, such a Yang Yun reminded Yang Xuan of himself before, he used to eat sugar gourds and couldn't bite anything, and that night my sister also cooked braised pig's feet, my sister was really bad, she must have done it on purpose.
Yang Yun really didn't mean it this time, how did she know that as soon as Yang Xuan came back, she would take the green plum to eat without asking. The last time the sugar gourd happened was she did it on purpose. Yang Yun looked at Yang Xuan with an angry face, and rushed him and Kong Tianyou to review what he learned today, which is what Yang Xuan must do every day.
The next day, as soon as there was a glimmer of light in the sky, Yang Yun called Yang Yong, and the two brothers and sisters didn't eat breakfast, so they hurried to the town. The wine of soaking green plums is about 40-50 degrees, if the degree is too high, it will destroy the nutrients in the green plums, and finally Yang Yun bought 200 catties of liquor in the wine shop in the town, one catty and 20 Wen, and the shopkeeper saw that Yang Yun bought more, and finally sold at the price of 18 Wen a catty. Two hundred catties of liquor totaled 3,600 yuan.
"Shopkeeper, can you help send this wine to Zhoujia Village."
"Little girl, Zhoujia Village is quite far from here."
"The little girl knows, your family can help us deliver it immediately, we can add some travel expenses to you, and we will come to buy wine in the future, how about you be a repeat guest." The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, if the guests in their wine store bought hundreds of catties of wine, they would help deliver the goods, but some far places did not go, and it was not a long time to have a carriage in Jiajia Village this week, and it could be delivered in half an hour.
"Okay, I'll send it for you, and you can add twenty yuan for delivery."
"No problem, can you wait for us a while, we still need to buy something."
"Yes, this wine will also be loaded into a wagon."
Yang Yun's brother and sister went to the grocery store to buy 15 catties of sugar again, this time Yang Yun chose the sugar color is whiter, and there are fewer impurities, but it is very expensive, a pound of white sugar costs 25 Wen, which is more expensive than wine. One hundred and fifty catties of sugar, a total of 3,750 Wen, Yang Yun cut the price with the store for half a day, and finally sold it for 3,700 Wen. In addition to fixed merchants, few people will buy so much sugar at one time, so the stores are naturally cheaper, and they wholesale to fixed merchants for only 18 yuan a catty.
The brother and sister went to buy ten jars at the place where they bought the jars, this time they bought the kind of larger jars that were packed with fifteen catties, and the small jars that were bought yesterday were five catties of bamboo shoots, and the fifteen catties of jars were fifteen cents a piece, and the store saw that Yang Yun was the little girl who came to buy the jars yesterday, and came to buy them again today, and the last ten jars only received Yang Yun one hundred and forty yuan.
Yang Yun asked the store that sold the jar to move the jar to the liquor store, and the two stores were quite close. Finally everything was loaded onto the wagon, and the whole wagon was full. Yang Yun calculated that it was spent today, seven taels of silver and four hundred and forty wen. There were still thirteen taels of silver left after selling burdock tea at home last time, and today she let herself spend so much money, Yang Yun felt that she would have to kneel on the washboard when she went home.
Naturally, the business of green plum wine will not be missing from the Li family, so I believe that Uncle Li will be willing to share it with the Yang family for more than seven taels of silver, and I just hope that when I go home and my grandfather wants to beat me, I can outrun my grandfather.
"Sister, where is it enough for you to buy ten jars, but you bought two hundred catties of wine."
"It's enough, the jar they use to hold wine is a big jar of about fifty catties, these big jars can also soak green plum wine, and the soak green plum wine is calculated according to the ratio of 1:1:0.7, that is, one catty of green plums, one catty of wine, seven taels of sugar, but our green plum wine will be sold to Master Zhu's restaurant in the future, and the wine in the restaurant is all men, and my sister plans to put only 0.5 ratio of sugar, because it is too sweet, men may not like it."
Baijiu with green plums, in proportion, is equal to 200 catties of liquor will eventually become 400 catties of green plum wine. Yang Yun felt that she was really crazy today, and she didn't know why she was so confident. Yang Yun's consciousness always told herself that she would succeed, so this batch of green plum wine would definitely make a lot of money for the two families in a few months.
Today, the money has not been earned, and when she goes home in a while, Yang Yun feels that she will definitely earn a beating first. Brother and sister took the carriage back to Zhoujia Village, after returning home, Uncle Li and they all went to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, not at home, the coachman of the carriage and Yang Yong, the two of them, moved the wine to the Yang family's utility room, after all the things were moved off the carriage, Yang Yun paid 25 wen delivery fee to the coachman, it turned out that 20 wen, Yang Yun gave 5 more wen to the coachman to drink tea.
"Grandma, when grandpa comes back, he wants to beat me, you have to help me intercede."
"Did you girl spend a lot of money today?"
"Grandma, I'm not for the good of our family, the green plums can be picked this month, and they will be ripe and rotten in half a month, we will have to wait for next year if we miss this opportunity to make money."
"Grandma knows that what our Xiaoyun does is for this family, we were so poor at the beginning, if it weren't for you, how could we be fed and clothed now, don't worry, if your grandfather is angry with you in a while, grandma will scold your grandfather, so it's okay."
"Grandma, it's better for you to be the best for Xiao Yun." Yang Yun hugged her grandmother and lied to her, and her grandmother unconditionally supported anything Yang Yun did! Yang Yun feels that her grandmother is the one who understands her best.
Yang Yun asked Yang Yong to pick up two loads of water and come back, clean the four baskets of green plums, remove the stems, and then reload the washed bamboo baskets with the cleaned green plums. Four baskets of green plums are placed under the eaves and drained, and they can be soaked in wine in the afternoon.
At noon, grandpa and they came back after digging bamboo shoots, and when they saw so many things that Yang Yun bought, as well as four large jars of wine, they knew that she must have spent a lot of money, and this time grandpa directly picked up a small bamboo and was going to beat Yang Yun. Yang Yun naturally ran around the yard as if she was running for her life, and kept asking for help from her grandmother who was cooking in the kitchen.
"Grandma, help, grandpa is going to beat me." (To be continued.) )
