Chapter 59: Business Classics
Early in the morning of the second day, Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang ordered the bean curd, and the fox fence was going to the school, and left after eating.
Not long after the fox fence left, the fox Dayou also went out with the burden of bean flowers.
Wei Sanniang dropped the bowl and chopsticks and poured the pig food into the pot, Fox Lixiang was eating with the bowl while lighting the fire, while Hu Xiaomei was washing her face and picking herself up, and when Hu Xiaomei cleaned up herself and started cleaning the house, Wei Sanniang had already left the house and went to the market.
When the pig food in the pot was almost cooked, the fox fence had just finished breakfast. Put down the dishes and chopsticks, she carried a bucket and scooped the pig food, and the fox Xiaomei helped to lift the pig food outside the pigsty, and then, the fox fence Xiang knocked on the pigsty with a scoop, and the big fat pig who was sleeping in the corner of the pigsty raised his head.
Fox Fence Xiang poured a large scoop of pig food into the pig trough, and her mouth evoked: "Yoyo...... Yoyo ......"
The big fat pig's mouth immediately made a "buzzing ......" sound, and the fat head flicked, staggered up, flicked its tail, and walked to the pig trough to eat happily.
Helping Fox Lixiang carry the pig food over, Fox Xiaomei went back to the kitchen to get a bowl and start eating breakfast.
Fox Lixiang fed the pigs, washed her hands, threw the cloth on the stool, went into the house to change her clothes, and when she changed her clothes and freshened up, Fox Xiaomei also finished eating and washing the dishes. The two sisters locked the door and headed for the market.
Regarding the matter of renting dry land, Hu Dayou went to Tang Daming's house early this morning to say hello. Therefore, in the morning, Douhua Fox Xiaomei and Fox Lixiang were going to help sell, while Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou were going to the mayor's mansion.
As long as the business is done, it can take a lot less effort, and now Fox Dayou is fixed in two places every day to set up stalls, a market entrance. A main street entrance. If you want to eat bean curd, you can usually buy it at these two places.
The two sisters of Fox Xiaomei guarded the bean flower stall for Fox Dayou, and the two husbands and wives of Fox Dayou went to the mayor's mansion.
There are a lot of people rushing to the market. Half of it was sold in just one hour, and the two people who were still worried about how to change the bean curd stall were originally worried. I don't plan to move again.
The middle-aged man who sells bean curd on weekdays has suddenly become two beautiful girls, and many regular customers who often buy bean curd will ask a few questions curiously.
"Yo, why did you change to two girls today, Fox Dayou is your father?"
"Yes!"
"Hey, I didn't expect his two daughters to be quite handsome!"
Or......
"Hey, what's the change today? What about Otomo? ”
"He's in trouble!"
"It's good to change people, say a word to you young girls, we mothers-in-law who buy things feel younger!"
"Auntie, you are so young. What kind of mother-in-law, where is such a young mother-in-law! ”
"Ah, this girl has a sweet mouth, come, scoop me another bowl!"
I also met a few acquaintances.
Zhou Chengqi's wife Wang just went to the ready-to-wear shop to hand in the embroidery work, and took her daughter Zhou Lanhua to this side to see two girls on the side of the bean flower stall. It's a fence crystal and a fence incense! ”
The voice was loud, and the startled people who came and went, old and young, men and women, looked over one after another, and the two of them were embarrassed. The fox fence blushed, and the fox was embarrassed.
Both of them are big girls, and they quickly returned to normal. greeted the Wang family with a smile: "Aunt Wang, you are in a hurry!" Then he greeted Zhou Lanhua, who followed closely.
Zhou orchid is long and upright. He has a gentle temperament and has already made a marriage. The other party is an ordinary family in Weijia Town, although it is not a big family, it is better to live in the town, have its own yard, and do a small business to make a living, which is much easier than farming in the countryside to live.
Therefore, when it was first ordered, many people were envious.
The wedding date is scheduled for the beginning of next year, and with Wang's craftsmanship, Zhou Lanhua rarely goes out on weekdays, and basically embroiders dowries at home.
Wang is also worthy of being knowledgeable, and asked Zhou Lanhua to embroider her own wedding dress herself, but also embroider a set of pillows for her mother-in-law and make shoes. Even after passing through the door, I drew the patterns of my husband's clothes for the four seasons. I don't know how many people's eyes have been popular, and how many people I envy.
Zhou Lanhua is quiet and easy to speak, Hu Xiaomei likes to deal with such people, and yesterday she gave her two sisters handkerchiefs, she enthusiastically shouted: "Sister Orchid, are you here today?" ”
Zhou Lanhua pursed her lips and smiled, her voice was gentle and soft: "Well, Sister Lijing." Looking at the fox who was smiling at her, "Sister Lixiang!" ”
"Sister Orchid." Kitsune Fence also greeted her.
Compared with the two fox families, the fox family can only solve the problem of food and clothing, and the fox Yingtian brothers even if they don't do anything else, there are ten acres of land all year round and they don't have to worry about eating, drinking, chewing, etc., therefore, many people in the fox village like to hold the high bottom, and in the past, there was no less gossip about the fox family, and now the fox Dayou's bean curd business is good, although every time you catch the market, you can see it, but few people are embarrassed to come forward to ask.
The relationship between the Wang family and the fox Taiyouwei Sanniang has always been okay, but this is also the first time to approach and greet them. Hu Xiaomei wanted to have a good relationship with the Zhou family, so she took the opportunity to smile and said: "Aunt Wang and Sister Orchid haven't tasted our bean curd yet, it's your first time here, I invite you to taste it." ”
Fox Lixiang understood, and immediately took the bowl and handed it over, Fox Xiaomei picked up the spoon and scooped two bowls skillfully.
Wang hurriedly excused himself: "How good is this, you are a small business." Next to her, Zhou Lanhua had already taken out money from her purse, and Hu Lixiang grabbed her: "Sister Orchid, if you and Aunt Wang can afford our sisters, don't say that the money is not rich, these two bowls of bean curd are sincerely invited by our sisters to eat." ”
Hu Xiaomei also smiled and said: "Yes, Aunt Wang, no one in our village has tasted our bean curd, you and Sister Orchid have a taste, see if there is anything that can be improved, and give us advice." ”
Seeing that the two sisters were sincere and sincere, the Wang family was not good at pushing again, and Zhou Lanhua picked up the bean curd and ate it. As soon as he took the first sip, Wang's eyes lit up, and sure enough, it was the same as the one in the village, it melted in the mouth, smooth and tender, and there was a fragrance of bean flowers, which tofu could be compared? It's exactly two tastes!
Swallowing it in one gulp, she scooped another spoonful into her mouth, and she gave a thumbs up to Sister Fox Xiaomei. Praise sincerely: "Your bean curd is really delicious!" No wonder business is so good every day! After speaking, she pushed Zhou Lanhua next to her with her elbow. He wrapped a large mouthful of bean curd in his mouth, and said vaguely: "The taste is really good!" You see. Why don't you bring a bowl back to your father? ”
Zhou Lanhua Si Wenwen took the spoon and scraped it in the bowl, wrapped a mouthful of bean curd in her mouth, chewed slowly with her mouth, and nodded to Wang at the same time, when the bean curd in her mouth was swallowed, she fed the last spoonful of bean curd into her mouth, and then took out a white handkerchief, the handkerchief was lifelike embroidered with a hibiscus, pinched the corner of the handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. The action is sven and good-looking.
Fox Xiaomei couldn't help but glance at the fox fence incense that was standing upright next to her, and was also looking at Zhou Lanhua's fox fence incense.
"Mother, I also think this bean curd is delicious, why don't we bring a bowl back to my father and buy another bowl back?" Zhou Lanhua didn't seem to notice the gaze of Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence Fragrance at all, and said to Wang gently and gently.
Wang also felt that eating a bowl didn't seem to be too enjoyable, so he responded happily, took out four copper plates and handed them to the fox fence incense, and said to the fox Xiaomei: "Fence crystal." Give the eldest lady two more bowls. However, I didn't bring a bowl, can I put your bowl in it? ”
Hu Xiaomei immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." You can take my bowl back and put it back, and I'll pick it up when I go back at noon. As he spoke, he began to scoop bean flowers for Wang.
In the past, the relationship between the Wang family and the fox family could only be regarded as average, but today the fox Xiaomei sisters unexpectedly invited her and her mother to eat bean curd. was so polite to her, Wang was very happy in his heart. spoke to the two sisters of Hu Xiaomei and became much more affectionate: "This is all there is to a village!" I really don't see it on weekdays, but you two sisters are also business materials! ”
Fox Xiaomei smiled. gave the bean curd to Wang, and Wang handed the money to Fox Fence Xiang, who only received two copper plates, and returned the other two copper plates to her: "Auntie, one copper plate and one bowl, those two bowls are for you and Sister Orchid to eat, and we will not accept your money." ”
Wang's eyes narrowed with a smile, and she didn't accept the fox fence incense, so she took the opportunity to put the money back, and said with a smile: "Oh, these two children are really polite." If you really don't take it, then I'll put the money away. Then he complimented: "I think you two can do business better than your father, and this business will simply be watched by your two sisters in the future, so that your father can find a business again." ”
Fox Fence Xiang laughed: "It's easy to say, how can there be such a good business!" ”
"Why not, your father won't be able to see it this time!" Wang said with a smile.
Hu Xiaomei didn't want to say this anymore, so she pointed to the handkerchief on Zhou Lanhua's hand and said curiously: "Sister Orchid, your handkerchief is also embroidered by yourself?" ”
Zhou Lanhua smiled and nodded, very modest: "Just embroider casually when you're fine." ”
"Is this still casually embroidered?" Hu Xiaomei's eyes widened in surprise, and an expression of disbelief was more realistic than the two peonies and lotus flowers yesterday: "Sister Orchid, you are so beautiful in embroidery casually, if you get serious, then you can pay it back?" He pouted and glanced at his sister Fox Fence Fragrance, and said with envy: "Sister Orchid's embroidery skills are really good." Unlike me, at least my sister can make her own clothes, but my mother will dislike me even for sewing and mending! ”
Fox Lixiang is also very envious: "Yes, we only know that Aunt Wang's embroidery skills are good, but I didn't expect that Sister Orchid's embroidery skills are also so good." ”
Zhou Lanhua's quiet face was full of smiles, reserved and unassuming: "How can you say it so well, I like embroidery, I have been learning since I was a child, if you are like me, maybe you are better than me!" ”
These words made Fox Xiaomei and Fox Fence Xiang feel a little better. Hu Xiaomei, a person from modern times, has no interest in embroidery, but after seeing other people's embroidery skills, she still has envy in her heart.
And the fox is a real ancient woman, sewing, changing clothes that must know, in a poor peasant family, there is no way to learn embroidery like those big family girls is a pity.
Zhou Lanhua is engaged, and she can make a beautiful red wedding dress in person, embroider her favorite patterns, embroider pillows for her mother-in-law, and embroider patterns for her husband's clothes, what a happy and proud thing she is. And Fox Lixiang is fifteen this year, and the family is already thinking about kissing, but she has no way to embroider her wedding dress with a satisfying picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, or embroider lifelike peonies on the big red wedding robe.
Naturally, there is something wrong in my heart! As a peasant girl, her face is a little dull, who makes her mother's embroidery skills mediocre! However, Zhou Lanhua's words made her feel a lot more relieved! (To be continued......)
