Chapter 40 opens
Li Niang returned home, it was still early, she heard a noise in the yard and pushed the door out, only to see her brother picking two buckets in, she stepped forward to help.
Shubai lit the lamp and looked at his sister carefully, "Why did you go back so early today?" ”
"I wanted to take back all the straw tonight, but someone ...... No, the owner punished Du Feng for helping me finish it, and said that the insect invasion was Du Feng's fault before, so he apologized to me and gave me a gift. ”
"Shhh Why are you poking my fingers? ”
Li Niang pricked the embroidery needle back into the placket, and squeezed out a drop of blood from her brother's finger and smeared it on the surface of the brocade bag, and the blood was immediately absorbed.
"This bag was given by Du Feng, and it is also a mustard seed space, I already have a ring, and the bag will be used by my brother, you sink your mind into it, do you see it?" Heavenly Straw grows beautifully, right? Brother, hurry up and give the editor-in-chief Zhuang two cushions. ”
The brother and sister sat in the kitchen and whispered, and Li Niang told her brother what she had seen and heard in the heavenly court, mentioned the latest task assigned by the owner, and also said her own inference.
"Brother, the owner of the village is the ancestor of the Ji family, he is not doing well in heaven, and our descendants are miserable on the ground, you see, the mother's branch, there are only three of us left, if we don't do it for him, then he can only wait for the ashes."
"The Heavenly Family believes in Buddhism, and Taoism has been in decline for nearly a thousand years, alas, Li Niang, we have a long way to go."
"It's okay brother, let's start with ourselves first, and then when you pass the imperial examination and become a big official, then you will have a certain amount of influence."
"The law does not pass on the six ears, Li Niang, after tonight, you will treat these words as if you have never said them, be careful that the disaster comes out of your mouth and you know no."
With his brother sharing the pressure, Li Niang slept extremely peacefully and sweetly in the second half of the night, and Shubai got up from smelling chickens, he hurriedly picked two buckets of fish into the village, rented Li Daniu's ox cart and went to the town, sold the fish to Fuyuanlou and explained that he would not send fish over again in the near future.
Uncle Cheng complained a lot, not Shubai but God, without Fuyuan Fish, his restaurant business will definitely decline, Shubai expressed regret but he can't do anything.
Shubai wanted to borrow a carriage to pull tender corn into the city to sell, Uncle Cheng slapped him, "Why are you pulling it into the city, can't you sell it directly here." ”
"Because of the bad weather, the corn has been picked, you can't delay too long, and the little nephew will leave you a hundred catties through the town, so that you can sell it well, and the little nephew will send it to you tomorrow." Shubai explained, and Uncle Cheng immediately called Zhang San'er to let him go with Shubai.
How much tender corn the Mo family collected, Zhang San'er didn't know, he was a coachman, helping to carry and lift, no matter what else, when the carriage was full, Shubai called him, and the two of them crowded in front and sat all the way to Jinshui Town.
When he arrived at Fuyuan Building, Shubai asked Zhang San'er to unload a heavy bag of hemp, and he and Uncle Cheng walked aside to discuss the price, "Uncle Cheng, you sell this bag first, it tastes better with some salt when you cook corn, this price, a stick is five cents, you can give me two cents after selling." ”
"What's that? Wuwen? "Uncle Cheng has a kind of scolding rush. Move, a pound of cornmeal only sells for five Wen, and you want to sell a corn cob at this price?
Shu Baijun's face was a little red, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, "Uncle, just sell it like this, our family's corn is watered with well water, and it tastes really good, you will know if you try it." ”
Uncle Cheng really wanted to spit on the book, the well water is not water, is it fairy dew? Bullied him for not reading much? Such a fool.
"Shubai, you can't do this!"
"Uncle Cheng, I'm in a hurry to enter the city, you should hurry up and put the corn in the pot, remember to add some salt!"
Shubai ran away, hurried all the way, and finally entered the city not long after the city gate opened, he didn't know many people here, the first thing he thought of was the prosperity of the north and south shops, in fact, he thought in his heart that he might be able to find out the whereabouts of the third uncle when he went to prosperity.
Selling tender corn to the north and south shops, the shopkeeper Chen felt that there was no one, and Xiaoxiu was unreliable.
Shubai said: "Isn't this corn just from the south, and you are not considered to be a cross-line." ”
It's almost said that in his eyes, the North and South Shops are a big grocery store, otherwise, it sells not only strange imported products, but also all kinds of seeds that are not common locally, and also sells dry goods from the north and the south, and now it shouldn't be a big deal to add a tender corn.
For the sake of taking a cut and not taking risks, the shopkeeper Chen reluctantly agreed to try it for a day, so Shubai quickly moved a big pot from the car, and built a stove with a few broken bricks in the leeward corner of the shop, and the corn was boiled and sold!
This trick was learned by Li Niang and the heavenly court, when the owner of the village was playing that video, there was a poor girl who was cooking corn on the street and selling it, the price was expensive, and the business was good, Li Niang remembered it at once, and came back and told her brother about it, and now there is this scene.
Zhang San'er unloaded the car and went back, Shubai asked Li Liu'er to borrow a small bench to sit on the edge of the cauldron and take care of it, still holding a book in his hand to read, and passers-by looked at him curiously.
The bold and careful uncle and aunt came to look at Shubai and asked him what was cooking in the pot, and every time he patiently replied, saying that he was boiling tender corn, and he would cook it for five cents after a while.
Hearing the price, the uncles and aunts turned their heads and left, for the sake of the face of the book, they didn't care about the boy, otherwise they would beat him with peach blossoms on his face, and a stick would sell for five cents, why didn't he grab it!
Shopkeeper Chen's sigh and sigh have offended everyone, how can you sell this corn.
Shubai smiled and said nothing, calmly adding firewood to the fire, when the strong fragrance of corn slowly emanated, attracting more and more attention, there were also two little babies eating fingers around him, he picked up the book and opened the lid of the pot.
The first stick of corn was given to the shopkeeper Chen, the second stick was given to Li Liu'er, and the third stick was given to the little babies to eat.
"Watch out for hot hands." He said gently.
A somewhat old hand stretched out next to him, "Xiao Xiucai, give me a stick too." ”
Shubai looked at the person, a little frightened and shy, this is Zhang Wuye of the British Mansion, and hurriedly picked up a stick and offered it, "Please use it slowly." ”
Zhang Wu looked at the corn cob in his hand, and was surprised, the territory near the capital, it is really difficult to find such a good cob this year, and the smell is also very fragrant, "Oh, Lao Chen, your eating appearance is also ugly." ”
The shopkeeper Chen and Li Liu'er vigorously said that it was delicious, gobbled it up, and ignored Zhang Wu's stubble at all.
The book was opened, Zhang Wu took a bite of corn on the cob, asked the price, waved his hand, and each of the four little guys who came out with him had a stick, and twenty-five copper plates fell into Xiao Xiucai's bag.
And the two little babies before are also bringing a beautiful girl over at this moment, and they want to spend money to buy more tender corn to take home to eat.
