Chapter 34 Making Money

As soon as the carriage drove into town, Chen Xuejiao shouted to stop.

Han Xingjian got out of the carriage, walked to the back and asked through the carriage curtain: "Xuejiao, there are still two streets away from my house, why did you stop." “

Xue Jiao lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "We want to sell something first." ”

"Sell something?" Han Xingjian asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you have developed some recipes again, and you want to go to Qingfeng Village to exchange them." Don't worry, go to my house first, Bi Tao is still waiting for you. “

"That's the case, Xue Jiao invented a new way to boil eggs, boiled with tea leaves, called tea eggs, and wanted to sell them on the street. Xue Ru and Jing embroidered flowers well, and also wanted to earn a few pocket money. The carriage will stop here, I will accompany them, you take Gu Gongzi and Huang Gongzi back first, and when we sell our things, we will go to your house. Chen Qi'an replied instead of Xuejiao.

"How can this work", Han Xingjian frowned, "I originally told my family to pick you up, wouldn't it be bad if I went back first?" “

"Since Xue Jiao wants to do business, I don't think it's better for us to accompany her." Gu Siyuan sat in front of the carriage and spoke.

Han Xingjian thought that it was still early anyway, so it was better to leave it like this, so he stopped the carriage near the side of the road and tied the horse to a wooden stake.

Chen Xuejiao got out of the carriage with the support of Chen Qi'an.

This is the most prosperous place in town, where people come and go, and everything is sold. There are vegetable sellers, there are chicken and duck sellers, and there are fruit sellers, and the cries for selling come and go.

After the tea eggs were made yesterday, while the lights were turned off in the upper room, Chen Xuejiao fished out one and distributed it to the family.

The tea eggs are made of the best Longjing given by Jia's sister-in-law, and they are boiled with firewood, which is not tasteful, although there are no materials in Xuejiao's previous life, they are also delicious to eat. The tea is fragrant, fresh and delicate. Qi Ping took a small bite, staring at the tea eggs in the pot, and his eyes were full of thoughts of longing to eat another one.

Chen Xiucai has always been dull about these things, and even called it delicious after eating tea eggs, and asked Xue Jiao where she got the recipe, and Xue Jiao vaguely said that she saw it in Master Qin's library. Chen Xiucai didn't ask in detail, but only told Master Qin to come and cook it for Master Qin.

It's just that after a night, the tea eggs are already cold, although they still smell fragrant, I don't know if it will affect the taste. Xue Jiao thought that if it was sold well, she would get a hot stove next time.

Chen Qi'an put the basket of tea eggs in front of Chen Xuejiao, and Xue Ru and Jing carried a wicker basket, which was filled with their own embroidered insoles, forehead wipes, belts, and handkerchiefs.

Two lives, it is the first time to stand on the street to sell things, Xue Jiao guarded the tea eggs and beat the drum in her heart, and when she saw Chen Qi'an, Han Xingjian was also uneasy and dodged her eyes, Xue Ru and Jing Hao lowered their heads and looked shy. However, Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang were calm and composed.

"Selling tea and eggs...... Xue Jiao learned from the vendor selling radishes next door and shouted at the top of her voice. Thin-skinned can't eat, thick-skinned to eat a piece of meat, Xuejiao remembered what a salesperson said in her previous life, if you want to sell something, you must be willing to pull down your face.

"Selling tea eggs...... Fragrant and big tea egg ......" Qi Ping shouted with Xue Jiao, he was a child, and his voice was crisp when he shouted, which was particularly attractive.

Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang looked at the two people who were selling in front of them, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths. Growing up in a wealthy township, they felt the secular life of selling things for the first time, and they didn't have any shyness in their hearts, but they were down-and-out and generous.

"What kind of egg is this?" A middle-aged man with a beard asked.

"Tea eggs?" The first customer came to the door, and Xue Jiao's excited voice was full of sweetness, "It's boiled with tea leaves, can you taste the taste, come to one?" “

"Boiled with tea leaves?" The middle-aged man asked suspiciously, and at the same time, interest rose in his heart, and he motioned for Xue Jiao to give him one.

Xue Jiao carefully took one for him and helped him peel it before handing it over.

"Hmm, it's delicious." The middle-aged man took a bite and praised again and again, "It's delicious, it's fragrant with tea and eggs, in short, it's delicious, bring me three more, and take it home for the children to taste." “

"Okay." Xue Jiao said sweetly, "An egg costs a penny, a total of four pennies." “

The middle-aged man paid for Xue Jiao, and walked with eggs and told the people around him that it was delicious.

The first business was done, Xue Jiao's face flushed with excitement, and Qi An Xue Rujing was also infected by Xue Jiao, and they all opened their mouths to shout.

"Sell tea eggs."

"Sell embroidery."

Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang also joined in shouting.

After a while, half a basket of Chen Xuejiao's tea eggs had been sold.

Xue Jiao sweetly counted the money and said to Gu Siyuan: "Gu Gongzi helps me sell tea eggs, next time you go to my house, I will personally make it for you to eat." ”

Here, Huang Sanlang looked at Jing Hao and shouted and blushed, his beautiful face flashed with shyness, and he walked up and said, "Jing Hao girl, your handkerchief is an extremely complicated double-sided embroidery." ”

Jing Hao nodded, and was surprised for a while, this kind of embroidery method is indeed complicated, and it was taught to her when her mother was alive, and she heard that her grandmother taught her.

The quiet female red is one of the best, Xueru's craftsmanship is not bad, the lotus embroidered on the handkerchief is slim, and a dragonfly looks really the same from a distance, as if it is about to fly.

"How handsome is this embroidery? How is it sold? A girl in a green shirt with a double bun asked.

"A penny." Jing Hao's eyes sparkled and said shyly.

"Wait a minute." The girl ran to the palanquin not far away, whispered a few words through the curtain and folded back.

Jing Hao thought she wouldn't buy it, and when the girl came back, she said with a smile: "Look, this is double-sided embroidery, and this lotus flower alone is equipped with twenty strands of silk thread, a penny...... It's not a penny. “

Seeing Jing's shy appearance, the girl in green had a good impression and said crisply: "Your handkerchief and insole are well embroidered, just now my lady liked it, let me ask the price, and buy these three handkerchiefs."

Jing Hao smiled, Xue Ru beside her had already wrapped the three handkerchiefs of lotus, plum blossom, and orchid that the girl pointed to.

The girl in green handed over the money, accepted the handkerchief, and walked to Xue Jiao's tea eggs with a smile and bought five tea eggs.

Xue Jiao's eyes drifted to the carriage with the girl in green, and the curtain of the carriage opened a crack, and she could vaguely see a woman in red sitting inside, with a veil and no face, only a pair of eyes staring at the street outside.

Everyone who ate Xuejiao tea eggs said that it was delicious, and the uncle who sold oil tea next door asked for an egg to taste, and after tasting it, he only praised the good taste.

Xue Jiao is blessed to the soul, and every tea egg sold is added with a sentence "with oil tea" to make it more delicious, and as a result, the uncle's oil tea business has also improved.

Uncle was grateful, chatting, it turned out that he lived in Lijiazhuang, and his surname was Li like Xuejiao's family, and he called Xuejiao's grandfather, Xuejiao should call him Uncle Dashan.

Xueru and Jinghao's embroidery is also selling very well, many little daughters-in-law are vying to buy, and colleagues who are buying keep asking Jinghao's embroidery method.

Before I knew it, a morning had passed, and it was really impossible to say that I would not go to Han's house at this time. Xuejiao's tea eggs were sold out, and Xue Ru and Jinghao still had a few pairs of insoles left.

Xue Jiao counted a total of 100 yuan, and she was very happy. Xueru and Jinghao made money for the first time, and they were happy to bloom in their hearts, and kept saying that they would go back in the afternoon to buy some silk thread and continue to embroider.

The group packed up the basket and drove towards Han Xingjian's house in a carriage.

Originally, I was going to go to Ping'an Street, because there were daughters-in-law on Ping'an Street, and there were too many people and too crowded, so I had to change to another street.

Suddenly, Xue Jiao found through the carriage curtain that her quiet father Wang Baozhu was talking to a woman in front of a beautifully decorated building, and when she saw that there was a person standing next to her, it was Chen Zichang.

Not only Xuejiao found out, but Xueru, Jinghao, and Qi'an all found out.

"What kind of place is this, why are the eldest uncle and second uncle here?" Xue Ruhu asked suspiciously.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Chen Qi'an Tieqing's face and said, "Don't look, this place is not a place for serious people to see." “

After Qi An finished speaking, he glanced at Jing Hao uneasily, Jing Hao's face turned blue and white for a while, and the tears in his eyes swirled.

Xue Jiao suddenly understood what kind of place it was, it was a fireworks alley full of dark prostitutes. Jing Hao must have known, so that's why he had that expression.

Wang Baozhu's father is also quiet and good, and when he sees his father coming to this kind of place in public, he must feel uncomfortable.

But how could Chen Zichang come to this kind of place.

Xue Jiao thought about it, so she had to divert the topic, and Xue Ru also found out, so she guided the topic to today's business with Xue Jiao.

Jing Hao knew in her heart that Xue Jiao and Xue Ru were afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she deliberately changed the topic, and when she wanted to go to Han's house as a guest, she had to endure her sadness and squeeze out a smile.
