Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ideas
After asking questions, he didn't listen to the answer for a long time, and Li Ying said understandingly: "If you don't want to say it, I know, it must be A-Yao who made you angry." You're older than her, so just put up with it. ”
When Li Pei said this, Li Pei just blinked expressionlessly, but still didn't speak.
Li Ying then said: "Ah Yao has this skill, not to mention taking it out to honor these officials, and I don't know how much money the third sister got from selling last time, if I use this money to bribe the officials, will I have a better life, cousin?" I've seen how many times A-Yao has cooked good meals, but there are many dishes in those meals that we haven't eaten, and I don't know if we can sell them for money? ”
Li Pei was still aggrieved and thinking about her thoughts, and she didn't want to hear Li Jin's words, her eyes flickered and she looked at Li Ying suddenly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing that she was just staring at herself and not speaking, after Li Ying coughed twice, she said ignorant and cowardly: "Cousin, did I say something wrong?" I just wanted our days to be better, and that's when I thought of that. ”
During these days, the officials did not embarrass their line of criminals, and Li Jin's idea was obviously superfluous. But sometimes the cautious eyes of some girls can't be ignored.
Besides yourself, you know your family best. Li An didn't distrust his sister, but he always wondered, was Ji Runshu's sister lying, or was his cousin lying? Therefore, this time he followed behind his sister, so he naturally heard his sister's words......
Li Jin's words seem to be right, for her words, Li Pei naturally understands the deep meaning, she said secretly: Is this using me as a gunman? However, it is quite intriguing for Ah Ying to do this kind of thing, why did she also target the third sister? Is it because my third sister once slandered her? Hmph, I know that what kind of thoughtfulness and kindness, what kind of generosity and virtuousness can behave as a person, it is all for others to see, but it can't hide it from me!
Although Li Pei was so arranged in his heart, Li Pei still volunteered to be a gunman. After thinking about it, she quickly told Mrs. Li the idea. Didn't the third sister say that she wouldn't let me feel better? Then see who doesn't let who have a good time!
Li Ying said that Li Pei was moved, and then thought about how to make the money in Li Yao's hand gone. She had heard from her mother that when her cousin sold her son, she hid the silver herself. She said in her heart: Didn't you rely on your tea and rice skills? I'll just see if your tea and rice skills are coveted by officials, what will you do?
Li Pei told Mrs. Li her idea. Mrs. Li was instructed by her husband, but she was quite worried, she said worriedly: "If this official knows that the prescription in your third sister's hand can be sold for money, and they take the prescription and sell it for money, and collect all the money themselves, I will suffer a big loss if I can't wait!" ”
"Isn't this bribing these poor pipes? I waited for the official to give the money, wouldn't life be better in the future? Grandmother can let my father have a good talk with the official, and I can't say that the official can give you half of the silver, which is not good. Fangzi is in the hands of the third sister, we take advantage of the convenience, grandmother voluntarily filial piety to the official, the official can get the money, if you don't want to, they can't get a penny. You ask your father to tell the official that you have an idea here to make money, but you have to divide the money in half, otherwise you won't say it. The third sister must have more than a few prescriptions, just take out a few bribes and officials, and you can also have more silver in your hand, isn't that good? ”
Originally, Mrs. Li had this intention, and she was indeed a little moved at this time. She said, "Who's going to say that?" Now I can't control your third sister's temper, and I'm afraid that she won't agree when I say this! ”
"Isn't it okay for grandmother to ask my father to tell the official messenger directly, and ask the official messenger to ask the third sister for a prescription?"
The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more she moved, and she was thinking about how to get her son to talk to the official about it.
Li An was talking to Li Ying at this time.
"Sister, I've heard all the things you said to Cousin Pelle. Why are you doing this? ”
"You're eavesdropping on me?" She asked, and when she saw that her brother bowed his head and didn't answer her, she said, "Isn't this for everyone's good?" Don't you think we'll all be better off that way? ”
Sister's words sound right at first glance, but if you don't rely on the seller to bribe the official, everyone's life has been better these days!
Seeing that his brother was silent, Li Ying stepped forward to take his hand and didn't say anything more. At this time, what she could be sure of was that her brother would not deal with her in order to protect Li Yao.
Mrs. Li wanted to bribe the official, but she didn't want her husband to know that she had done this. Li Pei came up with another idea: "Grandmother asked my father to avoid talking to them, and this matter must be hidden from others." You and your father agreed to do these things again, and let him not show his traces. Although we all eat and live together, it is not impossible to avoid talking to officials. ”
Mrs. Li did so, and soon someone in the official mission changed her mind. Then Li Yao was taken by the official for questioning.
Li Yao knew that she couldn't offend these officials, although she didn't know how these officials knew that she had made money by selling, but she also had to promise the seller to make money for these officials. These grievances that were inexplicably betrayed, she had to swallow them in her stomach.
In May, she made a seller's sale, and Li Yao was now betrayed, so she didn't try her best to sell again, and she talked to the restaurant shopkeeper on official errands. These officials don't know how to buy and sell, most of them are rough people, and where do they know the market, so they don't sell for much money. The main thing is that the recipe given by Li Yao is not surprising. Sold twice in this way, Mrs. Li got the silver as she wished, but only got ten taels, and the rest of the silver was taken away by the officials.
Now the group is a wanderer, and they all have to be controlled by the officials, where can they take the initiative to discuss business with the officials! In this way, Mrs. Li was bitter and couldn't speak. Li Yao didn't know who the person behind it was, she just had no choice but to do what the official said.
But these are still not enough. The officials did not eat with the exiles, but they lived next to them, and the officials wanted to see the exiles.
One day, when Li Ying was eating on the official errand, after the two aunts who served the dishes left, she called her younger brother Li An to go over and let Li An wait on the side, and then she said in a hoarse voice behind the official errand house: "I heard that the third lady made a lot of money last time she sold the vegetable recipe to Xilaiju!" It's three or five hundred taels, right? I see that bacon is also doing very well, why don't you see her selling that bacon recipe? ”
When she said this, she didn't know how much Li Yao had sold for her first prescription. It's just that she asked Li Pei and knew that these officials didn't make much money by selling vegetable recipes. So at this time, she said a price randomly, and after speaking, she hurriedly took Li An and left. And after she left, the officials in the house who were drinking and eating food and making a lot of noise were in full swing, but they all quieted down.
Although the business of Xilaiju restaurants is almost all in the counties in the north, the more you go to the stone forest, the fewer big restaurants like Xilaiju. In addition, Li Yao didn't pay much attention to selling vegetables, so he let the official poor sell them at a cheap price, so he sold four or five dishes, and the official only got one or twenty taels of silver.
If it's not a particularly complicated dish, it won't be able to sell very much. And Li Yao's dishes were all sold to Xilaiju, so some of her subsequent home-cooked dishes are naturally not surprising. Besides, there are few merchants here, and there are no specifications for a restaurant. Li Yao doesn't care, the official can't sell it, and the restaurant is not willing to spend a lot of money to buy the recipe, so naturally the seller can't make much money.
Li Yao also has her own ideas. She just let these officials take the money first, and sooner or later she will spread the recipes sold during this time. In this way, these officials often take this road, and the restaurants on this road will naturally not give them a good face in the future. As for her, after walking through here, she will go to the place of exile, the place is different, the chief is naturally different, and she will naturally not be subject to this group of officials in the future, and these officials will not be able to do anything to her.
But she thought thoughtfully, but she couldn't stop her cousin's calculations, and she couldn't stop the greed of officials. Imagine making a windfall, who wouldn't want to make it? At this time, these officials were all carried away by money, where are they afraid of Li Jimin's recovery in the future?
