Chapter 116: A Secret Profession of Wanli
Hu Lezong rushed straight back to the main courtyard, and as soon as he entered the main courtyard, he saw Qiao Shi lying on the Luohan kang, frowning slightly, obviously not falling asleep.
Hu Lezong couldn't hide things in his heart, and he said happily: "Madam, don't worry about that mention anymore." There's a way. ”
Qiao Shi opened his eyes, and when he heard Lang Jun say this, he couldn't hide his surprise: "What's the way?"
Hu Lezong told Qiao's about Sister Hu Chun's proposal to make wine.
Qiao's surprise turned into a great discouragement, and she was a little troubled in her mood, but in the face of her beloved man, she only smiled and said, "Lang Jun said that he was laughing." Sister Chun is only a little lady in her teens, how can she understand the method of making grape wine? Have you forgotten that I told you about my father? He tried so many times and failed......
The implication is that I don't believe that Sister Hu Chun can make grape wine.
Hu Lezong had some kind of confidence in his daughter, and he smiled and persuaded Qiao: "Just let her try, it's better than so many grapes rotting in the ground." ”
Qiao Shi almost wanted to vomit blood when he heard this, and he couldn't speak with a heart attack.
Let's not talk about the special meaning of those grapes, just talk about the value of those grapes, which is also a lot of money, so take them out and give them to a teenage lady to "try"?
It really hurts the child left by the Meng family.
Qiao's heart was sour, uncomfortable and tight. But she also knew that if she refused, she would not be able to say anything anyway.
Because it was a "rotten grape", she still didn't agree to it, and others still didn't know why she was being mean and stingy after hearing it.
Qiao Shiqiang smiled: "It's also good, then let Sister Chun give it a try." ”
Hu Lezong saw that his wife agreed, and at the same time, he felt that his wife understood the righteousness, and at the same time, he was full of expectations for his eldest daughter, so he couldn't wait to inform Sister Hu Chun.
Although it was a day off the next day, Sister Hu Chun got up early in the morning and changed into neat men's clothes, and Sister Hu Xia also planned to go to Dizhuang with her eldest sister to have a look, and she also changed into men's clothes.
Hu Bincheng was envious, and said with a bitter face: "The eldest sisters have a rest for three days, and we have to take a full 15 days." ”
Sister Hu Chun touched Hu Bincheng's little head: "Next time, you will take you out to play." ”
Hu Bincheng has a good temper and is also easy to coax, and when he heard Sister Hu Chun say this, he happily agreed.
Qiao Yuyin, who received the message last night, rushed over with a flower butterfly with excitement on her face. She originally wanted to come straight to her eldest sister's place for dinner this morning, but then she thought that her mother was still in a bad mood yesterday, so she should accompany her mother, so she finished breakfast in the main courtyard with her temperament.
Qiao Yuyin grunted and ate a bowl of millet and red date porridge, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and ran out, saying as she ran: "I'll call the eldest sisters, father, you can wait for us in the car!"
Qiao's heart is not very tasteful, she feels that she watched her beloved little girl vividly perform all morning, what is called "being in Cao Ying, heart in Han".
Dare to be affectionate, she has all become Cao Ying here...... Qiao's heart was abnormal, and he couldn't help but shout, "Yin Yin, just finished eating, don't run so fast." ”
Qiao Yuyin had already run away with the girl ring butterfly at this time.
Hu Lezong smiled and said to Qiao's family: "Yin Yin is getting better and better with their eldest sister." ”
Qiao really doesn't want to speak!
When Qiao Yuyin came over, Sister Hu Chun, Sister Hu Xia, Sister Hu Bincheng, and her brothers were still eating breakfast.
Qiao Yuyin saw that the two eldest sisters were dressed up as little teenagers again, her eyes widened, and she was unhappy: "Why didn't you tell me when you were wearing men's clothes?"
The little sister's brutality and willfulness, Sister Hu Chun and the others have long been accustomed to it.
Sister Hu Chun was a black-hearted person, deliberately distorting the meaning of Qiao Yuyin's words, and said with a smile: "If Little Sister Yin hates it, you can not go with us." ”
Qiao Yuyin's eyes widened, and she shouted in disbelief: "Eldest sister, you!"
"Eldest sister teases you. Sister Hu Xia gently pushed the arm of Sister Hu Chun, who was smiling, and said angrily, "Why are you always teasing little sister?"
Sister Hu Chun said seriously: "Since what Yin Xiaomei said is very willful, then I naturally want to reply to her willfully." ”
Sister Hu Xia really can't take this bad eldest sister.
She saw Qiao Yuyin's pouting and pouting Lao Gao, and couldn't help but smile and explained: "Little sister Yin, don't be angry, I and my eldest sister are old, and there is always something inappropriate for someone interested to look at in the eyes. You're young, so it doesn't matter what you wear. ”
Qiao Yuyin received this explanation, glanced at Sister Hu Chun, saw that Sister Hu Chun was just looking at her and laughing, don't be awkward and stumble: "...... Yin Yin is not capricious. ”
Even she herself has some confidence in saying this.
Thanks to Sister Hu Chun, she didn't have to make people cry, she accepted it when she saw it, and didn't chase Qiao Yuyin anymore.
If she realizes what the problem is.
Temperament transformation must be done step by step. She has pampered Qiao's for so many years, although her nature is not bad, but her arrogance has almost formed a habit. If you want the little lady to slowly learn how to get along with people gently, it is by no means an overnight thing.
Hu Lezong was waiting outside the house for his daughter to come out.
As soon as he saw Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia pretending to be a dead boy again, he had some headaches, but he didn't say much, just smiled sadly, and let the children get into the car.
The village is not far away, in the western suburbs of Dangjun, backed by the mountain, the geographical location is very good.
The car arrived in less than an hour.
Mrs. Fang and the fourth cow in charge of their house took the tenants and servants on the village to wait on the head of the village early, and when they saw the master's cart, they rubbed their hands to meet them: "Eh, the masters have worked hard together, the village has prepared tea and soup, and how many masters will go to rest and rest first?"
After Mrs. Fang finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong.
Isn't it the eldest lady who says that she knows how to make wine?
Bite...... The people brought by the master except for the little lady are two handsome brothers?
Mrs. Fang didn't dare to look at the master's face, she didn't think about it after a while, and scolded herself gloomily, she was really old and confused.
It is expected that these two brothers are the two ladies left by the master's original match.
Eh, this look, if you put your sister's body on the ...... That's really remarkable.
Mrs. Fang muttered in her heart, and Qiao Yuyin shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?
Mrs. Fang was excited, relieved her mind and admitted her mistakes one after another, hung her head and didn't dare to say more, and led a few masters into the village.
There are many chickens and ducks in the village, and naturally there is some taste, and Qiao Yuyin, who is pampered and habitual, is miserable, and covers her mouth and nose with a handkerchief one after another.
Niu Lao Si is a crop master who is immersed in farming, and he is not very good at looking at it, seeing that Qiao Yuyin is so disgusted, he hurriedly explained: "Little Miss, don't underestimate this. The dung of this chicken and duck is very useful, and it can be piled up in the ground to make fertilizer, and the vegetables grown are guaranteed to be good and tender. ”
It's okay if he doesn't talk about it, as soon as he says that the vegetables are grown like this, Qiao Yuyin's face turned yellow, and she almost vomited all her bile, and Hu Lezong was scared for a long time.
In the end, it was Sister Hu Chun who boiled ginger juice and put down sugar to make Qiao Yuyin eat it, so that it was better.
In this way, Qiao Yuyin refreshed the listlessness of the struggle and lay down on the kang to rest.
Hu Lezong was not at ease and stayed to take care of Qiao Yuyin.
In the end, Mrs. Fang only led Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia to the Rape Garden.
Niu Laosi also wanted to follow, but because he said the wrong thing, Mrs. Fang was angry and afraid, angry that he didn't understand his mind when he spoke, and was afraid that the master's family would take away their positions in anger, so he asked him to get away and not appear in the eyes of the master.
When I arrived at the grape garden, I looked at it, and it was almost a sea of grapes that could not be seen. Many tenants were picking grapes under the shelves, and many baskets of picked grapes were piled up under their feet.
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Two young ladies, you see, our grapes are good, but they really can't be sold." In the first two years, as soon as this grape was promoted, not only our family, but also many families in Dangjun County planted grapes, and no one bought them this year. ”
Sister Hu Chun took a look, the grapes were full, there were very few broken skins, and some of the rotten ones had been selected by Mrs. Fang to be piled aside, and almost all of the baskets were unbroken and intact.
Sister Hu Chun tasted one, which was delicious and just right for winemaking.
Not bad.
Sister Hu Chun was extremely satisfied.
Mrs. Fang glanced at Sister Hu Chun's expression and said cautiously: "Miss, look, what will you do next?"
Sister Hu Chun didn't reply, but asked, "Did the messenger inform you last night that all the 20 large urns have been prepared?"
Mrs. Fang patted her chest and promised: "Naturally, it is brewed." Miss, my mother-in-law, you can rest assured, as soon as I received the message last night, the old woman, I asked me to go to the village to find these Shao big urns, all of them were scrubbed clean, and they were also refreshed with boiling water. I'm basking in the courtyard right now, why don't I take you to take a look?"
Sister Hu Chun nodded.
Mrs. Fang led Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia to the courtyard, and Sister Hu Chun couldn't help but be very satisfied when she saw that all the clean ones in the courtyard had some bright big water urns.
Next, Sister Hu Chun assigned the work to wash the picked grapes with water as much as possible to ensure the integrity of the grains, and not to wash off the hoarfrost on the grapes.
Niu Laosi didn't know when he was walking and coming over again, and when he heard Sister Hu Chun's assignment, he was a little unhappy, and muttered: "Little Nier, what can you understand?"
Mrs. Fang really wants to be angry with Niu Laosi, who can't look at her. Sister Hu Chun didn't care, and she couldn't explain to others that hoarfrost is the natural yeast on grapes, and winemaking depends on it for fermentation.
She only pretended not to hear, and continued to assign work with a smile.
Dozens of people on Zhuang's head were all mobilized.
After washing the hands, then wash the grapes, dry, several 10 tenants on the village in the field of drying grain on weekdays spread mats, sieves, etc., full of grapes, it is also magnificent.
Today's day is not good, there are some cloudy days, it is a good opportunity to dry grapes, the cool breeze is blowing, dozens of people are also fanning the grass fans, and the grapes are very fast to dry.
Sister Hu Chun touched the humidity of the grape with the palm of her washed hand, nodded, and started the next step.
They were assigned to wash their hands again.
When Niu Laosi went to wash his hands, he muttered again: "Which family in the countryside farms and washes hands so diligently......"
gave the unbearable Fang Poniang a fierce twist, and the painful Niu Lao Si didn't dare to say more.
Then, almost the two of them were assigned a large urn, and began to crush the grapes, remove the stems and cores.
This work is more tiring, dozens of hard work and grudges for a long time, the urn in front of me is only half of the depth, and there are many grapes left.
Sister Hu Chun saw that she was almost gone, and asked someone to move in again, and the white cotton candy that she bought at the beginning.
This white cotton candy is a rare thing at this time, and the general township farmer only buys some for his baby to taste during the New Year's Festival on weekdays, who has ever seen a pocket to buy sugar?
This white cotton candy came with the car, and Mrs. Fang didn't know about it first, and when she saw the white cotton candy in this pocket, she couldn't close her mouth in shock.
"Miss, how much money is this?" asked Mrs. Fang tremblingly.
"Not much. Sister Hu Chun didn't think it mattered.
In her eyes, it really doesn't cost much, especially for making grape wine, which she has invested in the early stage and paid for it completely out of her own pocket. At first, Hu Lezong was also shocked when he saw it, and he felt a little embarrassed to spend his daughter's money.
Sister Hu Chun said that this was her heart as a daughter, and Hu Lezong was willing to accept it.
A few sturdy tenants carried their pockets and poured white cotton candy into the urn.
The white cotton candy is poured into the urn with a bang, which is really a bit spectacular. The children of several tenant households couldn't help but want to come up and grab a handful of white cotton candy to have a good time.
They just ran over, and before they could surround them, they dragged them back to their own adults.
Now everyone knows that this brewing in front of the face is not a joke.
Who is joking with this bag of white sugar?
Sister Hu Chun looked at it, and when she saw that the white cotton candy and grapes were almost 1 to ten, she asked someone to stop it.
Sister Hu Chun pretended to take out a white can son from her arms, and sprinkled some white powder into it with a solemn face.
The others held their breath as they watched as Sister Hu Chun sprinkled some powder into the urn, wondering what it was.
The fourth cow couldn't help it, and asked directly: "I said eldest lady, you sprinkled it, this white end, what is this?"
Sister Hu Chun's face was unfathomable: "This is the key to making grape wine." "I won't talk about it anymore.
This was what she thought about at first, and now that so many people are looking at it, the recipe for making grape wine must not be hidden. To put it bluntly, the method of making grape wine is simple and abnormal, and almost everything can be learned.
She sprinkled this white powder just to confuse others and make them think that this white powder is the core process of grape winemaking.
In fact, it is white sugar.
She really didn't lie, white cotton candy is really the key to making grape wine.
Naturally, it won't take long for this kind of little smart to be seen through.
But so what, the sights of them trying to find the truth about the white powder were enough for his grape wine to gain a foothold in the market.
In the end, the grapes are good, the raw materials are good, and she also personally checks the process.
waited for others to touch it out one by one, and it wasted a lot of time.
What's more, she still has a back-up move.
The tenants carried their pockets and poured the amount of white cotton candy checked by Sister Hu Chun into each large urn, and then they had to wait for it to ferment.
Sister Hu Chun also put burlap on the head of the courtyard, so that nothing would fall into the big urn.
After doing all this, Sister Hu Chun told Mrs. Fang: "In the past two days, you have made people guard these wine urns carefully, and asked people to take a clean bamboo grate and press these grapes into the juice, sooner or later. Don't forget. ”
Mrs. Fang nodded solemnly.
She went from a small rough mother-in-law to the mother-in-law in charge of a big farm, and she naturally distinguished the importance of the matter. She was not like the farmer of their family who was immersed in the ground, and she knew that she had to listen to the eldest lady in this matter.
And it should be completely complete, and it should be completely and exactly as it was instructed by the eldest lady.
If this grape wine is made, she will naturally have a share of the credit, if this grape wine is not made, then she has strictly relied on the steps instructed by the eldest lady, and if something goes wrong, the pot is naturally not hers.
It's harmless.
Mrs. Fang was full of spirits and commanded.
After doing all this, it was not early, Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia went to the grape garden to pick two baskets of grapes, and the two sisters carried a basket and returned to the yard with a smile.
Qiao Yuyin, who was resting in the courtyard, had just woken up for a long time, and she was much better, and Hu Lezong was feeding her a bowl of sweet and delicious matsutake porridge.
Seeing Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia coming back, Hu Lezong said with concern: "Everything has been done?"
Sister Hu Chun shook her head: "No." Relying on the recent day, why don't you ferment for two days first. I'm going to have to come back again. ”
Qiao Yuyin was just angry: "It's so easy to come out once, and it's a failure!" She saw that the two eldest sisters were all carrying a basket of grapes, and her mouth was about to cry, "I'm also going to pick grapes!"
Hu Lezong saw that her face was very pitiful and pitiful, and his heart ached terribly, and coaxed: "Good Yinyin, didn't you listen to what your eldest sister said? ”
Qiao Yuyin broke into tears and laughed at this point: "Father, this can be said." She remembered something, and shouted, "Yin Yin will also wear men's clothes at that time!"
Hu Lezong couldn't be entangled, so he sighed helplessly: "I clearly raised a daughter who is like a flower, and in the blink of an eye, I became a dead boy." It's really ......."
Qiao Yuyin was unrelenting: "Father, you stink." My eldest sister and I are all fragrant!"
A house of people couldn't help but laugh.
Back in the house, Qiao Shi was waiting for everyone in the side room.
She was uncertain for a day, and when she saw a few people coming back, she was relieved and at the same time, there was an indescribable sourness.
Mrs. Qi had abnormal eyesight, so she took the lead in welcoming her, and hugged Qiao Yuyin and felt a heartache: "Eh, little miss, what's the matter, why don't you see people who are not energetic when you go out for a day?"
In order not to worry about Qiao's, a few people discussed it when they were in the car, and they didn't tell Qiao's about it.
Qiao Yuyin showed a big smile and said, "Auntie, you're too worried about me, I'm mentally abnormal." ”
Qiao Shi carefully observed the little girl, and saw that although her face was a little pale, she was still mentally abnormal in her words, and it was expected that she was tired from the car. She beckoned Qiao Yuyin over, hugged Qiao Yuyin and said, "Yinyin tell her mother, are you having fun at the farm today?"
Hu Lezong was afraid that the little girl would say that he would show his stuffing, so he gave Qiao Yuyin a look.
There is quite a tacit understanding between father and daughter, and Qiao Yuyin threw this job to Sister Hu Chun with understanding: "Eh, mother, I'm so tired from taking the car." Can you ask the eldest sister to tell you about the grapes?"
This is exactly what Qiao's cares about the most!
Qiao Shi looked at Sister Hu Chun.
Sister Hu Chun smiled and said: "Aunt Qiao, rest assured, I took a look, the grapes are abnormal, the maturity is enough, sweet and delicious, and it happens to be the best material for grapes wine." ”
It was obvious that this was not what Joe wanted to hear.
She feigned a lack of energy and rubbed her temples.
This is the dark name agreed upon by Qiao's and Mrs. Qi at the beginning.
After all, she didn't want to be the vicious stepmother, someone had to come and say bad things for her.
When Mrs. Qi saw Qiao's like this, she also had an idea in her heart, and opened her mouth and said: "Eh, I said that the eldest lady, the old woman has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Sister Hu Chun didn't eat her alone, she saw Mrs. Qi say this, and smiled lightly: "Then Aunt Qi won't talk about it." ”
Mrs. Qi choked on the soft nails given to Sister Hu Chun.
The smile on her face froze, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Sister Hu Chun ignored her anymore, turned her face and instructed the little girl to take the grapes they brought back to wash them.
Hu Lezong smiled and said to Qiao's family: "This is picked by the children themselves, which can be regarded as a piece of filial piety." Mrs. Moment's Taste a few. ”
Qiao Shi smiled softly and nodded.
Mrs. Qi glanced at it, and unyieldingly opened her mouth with a smile: "...... Miss, the old woman thought about it, and felt that it was better to talk about it. In the end, the old woman has been in Qiao's Mansion for decades, and she is loyal to the mansion. Even if the eldest lady thinks my mother-in-law is noisy, the old woman is not unhappy. ”
When the words were all at this point, Sister Hu Chun straightened up and looked at Mrs. Qi with a smile: "Auntie, are you saying that I did something wrong and you can't look at it?
Hu Lezong also looked at Mrs. Qi, his eyes unpleasant.
In his opinion, the eldest daughter has been working hard for a day, and as soon as she returned to the house, she gave the servants in the house an old education and sold the old.
It's just that this is the mother-in-law of his wife's side, so he can't say much.
Seeing Hu Lezong's unhappy expression, Qiao Shi hurriedly said, "What is the misunderstanding?"
Mrs. Qi has always known that Sister Hu Chun's clever tongue is abnormal, but she also knows that Sister Hu Chun is a good-natured person, where did she think that Sister Hu Chun would hold on to the words in her words like this?
Mrs. Qi naturally didn't know that Sister Hu Chun had always tolerated Qiao's demons, that was because Qiao's was her father's wife and her little sister's mother-in-law, she didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, so she naturally wouldn't be mean and aggressive. But to say something unpleasant, what is Mrs. Qi? She dared to jump out and want to slap her Sister Hu Chun's face, she naturally wanted to be angry, fierce, and pull back according to her face.
Mrs. Qi had some stupid eyes, but all the words mentioned this point, she stubbornly said: "...... The eldest lady said seriously. The slave just wanted to ask, the brewing method of the grape wine has always been kept by the palace brewing bureau, the eldest lady said that she had seen it in an ancient book, where is it in an ancient book? If you don't try it, you will go straight to the village to brew, once it doesn't work...... The minions didn't think about it, but they were heartbroken that the hard work of those tenants in the past two years had been wasted. ”
Sister Hu Chun sneered in her heart.
It's not that she doesn't know that if she doesn't make wine, the grapes in the farm will end up rotting in the ground.
This Qi Po Niang is really ......
Sister Hu Chun glanced at Qiao's who was sipping tea with her head down.
She naturally knew that if Mrs. Qi dared to jump out like this and make such a call, it would be strange without Qiao's permission!
Sister Hu Chun made a look of not much control, and said with hesitation: "Aunt Qi is talking about it." At first, I was just at a bookstall somewhere in the township, and I saw an ancient book, and I thought it was interesting to flip through it a few times, and memorized such a method. Whether it can be done or not, I don't know the bottom in my heart. But no matter what you say, it's good that the grapes are rotten in the ground, aren't they?"
Hu Lezong nodded: "Sister Chun is talking about it." ”
In fact, he also felt that it was okay to ask his daughter to try grape brewing than to rot in the ground.
I think that at the beginning, when the grape was still a precious thing, did his father-in-law try it many times?
Qiao Shi smiled lightly on his face, but he was angry in his heart.
Mrs. Qi said anxiously: "That means that the eldest lady has no bottom in her heart? The eldest lady really doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and those grapes can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, so you can take them like this...... Pity our wife......"
A few thousand taels of silver? Sister Hu Chun laughed, Mrs. Qi didn't know how to count? She took the price when it was popular a few years ago, is it interesting? What's more, not to mention that all the grapes on the village were sold, it would be difficult to sell a quarter of them. How did this Qi Po Niang calculate a few thousand taels?
Qiao Shi scolded: "Aunt Qi, shut up!"
Mrs. Qi knelt down with a righteous and awe-inspiring puff, which startled Hu Lezong.
Qiao Yuyin was leaning on Qiao's side and eating some dim sum, but when she saw Mrs. Qi suddenly kneeling down like this, she was also startled, and hurriedly wrapped the dim sum in her palm into a handkerchief and put it on the table, and went forward to caress Mrs. Qi: "Auntie, what are you doing here?"
Mrs. Qi buckled her head towards Hu Lezong, and then buckled her head towards Qiao Yuyin and Qiao's direction, and when she raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and her lips trembled slightly: "Master, don't let the slave say these words, but the slave really can't hold back today, don't vomit and be unhappy...... Master, although our house has been getting better and better in recent years, Mrs. has never been stingy with you and a few young masters, and she has never left behind jewelry, clothes, and books. But you are busy with business, and you probably don't notice that your wife hasn't made new clothes or bought new jewelry for a year...... My wife often said that the family used to be difficult, but now that the situation is better, it is not to be forgotten, and life is to open up sources and reduce expenditure. But Mrs. was reluctant to deduct your use, so she deducted all her own use...... Mrs., Mrs., it's not easy for her to run a house. ”
Qi Poniang's confession of a loyal slave made Hu Lezong shocked and guilty, he used to wear looser homely clothes from time to time for Qiao's family, and he rarely went out, and he didn't even notice that Qiao's had not purchased clothes and jewelry for such a long time.
The guilt of Qiao's family was overwhelming, and Hu Lezong was annihilated.
Qiao Shi frowned and looked at Mrs. Qi: "Auntie, get up, who wants you to say this? I have clothes and jewelry, what are you going to do with those unjust money?"
When Hu Lezong saw that Qiao was still saying this, his heart was even more uncomfortable.
Qiao Yuyin blamed herself in Qiao's arms: "Mother, Yin Yin doesn't know at all...... Yin Yin won't buy jewelry in the future......" She paused, her little face was full of hesitation, and finally she looked determined to endure the pain, but she still changed her words, "At least 10 years old, I won't buy ...... before"
She thought that when she grew up to the size of her second sister, she would also have to dress up as elegantly as her second sister, and then she would have to buy some jewelry without makeup.
Qiao Shi kindly hugged Qiao Yuyin: "Yinyin, the little lady's family, why don't you buy jewelry and dress up? My mother and relatives are all very old, and all the jewelry at first is enough. She looked at Sister Hu Chun again, and her words were full of maintenance, "Sister Chun, you can go and make grape wine with peace of mind, although Aunt Qiao knows that it is difficult and abnormal, she still supports you." The family still has some money. ”
When will you ask her to give a penny?
Everyone has mentioned this scene, what else can Sister Hu Chun say?
Seeing that the guilt and self-blame on her old father's face were all about to annihilate him, Sister Hu Chun sighed helplessly in her heart.
His old father was good at everything, but his always soft-hearted temperament was a little bad.
Sister Hu Chun thought like this, but the smile on her face never stopped, she smiled narrowly, showing two sweet pear vortices, did not comfort Qiao's, but said to Mrs. Qi who was kneeling on the ground: "...... Aunt Qi, there are still some things that are not quite right about the location you talked about. I grew up in the countryside, and I still have a second understanding of these chores. Those grapes, when they were not promoted a few years ago, were really a rarity. But this year's output has gone up, almost every household has planted grapes and seedlings, this year is another bumper harvest year, there are many people selling grapes in the alleys of Dangjun Street, and they are sold for 10 cents a catty, and not many people will buy them. How can you get the highest estimate of the price?"
The old face of Mrs. Qi who said it turned red and blue, she opened her mouth and wanted to quibble, Sister Hu Chun didn't give her a little close, and after a slight pause, she continued: "Let's rely on 10 cents, if the grapes in the garden can be sold for two-thirds, don't think about refutation, relying on this year's market, I didn't say that it is very polite to sell less than one-fifth...... In this way, it can be sold for about 80,000 catties. Let's do the math, in this case, it will be about 800 taels of silver. In my first opinion, there are not only grapes planted on the village, but also many other grains and fruits planted in the corners of the side, let's take a whole and count it as a thousand taels. That's the biggest profit you can make, right?"
Sister Hu Chun glanced at Qiao Shi with a smile.
In fact, the price she calculated was very high.
Sister Hu Chun's words are reasonable and well-founded, and the data smashed directly into Qi Poniang's face, and Qi Poniang was dizzy.
She was shocked by Sister Hu Chun's mental arithmetic, and on the other hand, she desperately calculated whether those numbers were right or not, and after a long time of calculation, there was no result, and she didn't know if this number was Sister Hu Chun's casual remarks to fool her, so she had to stiffen her neck and refute: "Miss, how can I calculate that it is a few thousand taels? Moreover, even one thousand taels is not a small number." You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are ......."
Sister Hu Chun saw that Mrs. Qi was going to quibble with that old trick again, she immediately laughed, got up and said, "That's it, father, Aunt Qiao, can you wait for me for a while, I'll go back to the room to get something." As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Qi, "Aunt Qi, you can go and find an abacus plate, take this time, calculate it, and see if what I said is right." ”
Hu Lezong didn't know what medicine was sold in his daughter's gourd, so he nodded.
Sister Hu Chun's speed was abnormally fast, she took a key from the dark grid of the kang head, and went to open the cage, and turned out a carved black wooden drawer from under the cage when she came to Qiao's Mansion at that time.
She opened the black drawer and took out two thin sheets of paper.
After putting the things back in their place, Sister Hu Chun carried the two thin pieces of paper in her arms and went back to the main courtyard.
Hu Lezong felt that he owed Qiao's a lot, and he became more and more petty and gentle towards Qiao's, and Qiao Yuyin also sat on the side obediently, looking obedient.
Qiao's face was not obvious, but his heart was abnormal, and his heart was straight and said that Mrs. Qi had taken a good move.
Sister Hu Xia sat on the side, sipping flower tea with her eyes down.
Sister Hu Chun came in with a smile, first saluted Qiao's Hu Lezong, and then glanced at Mrs. Qi: "Aunt Qi can be calculated?"
Mrs. Qi was embarrassed: "Miss, don't you understand? It's not a matter of the amount at all, it's that you are so bad and wasteful." ”
"Isn't it a waste if it rots in the ground?" Sister Hu Xia put down the flower tea and asked Mrs. Qi in a soft voice.
Seeing that Mrs. Qi wanted to cry miserably again, she used "I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are" to block her sister-in-law, and Sister Hu Chun lost her good complexion.
Sister Hu Chun smiled and said directly to Hu Lezong: "Father, that Dizhuang, you sell it to me." ”
As soon as these words came out, it was regarded as a shock.
Hu Lezong was surprised, and he was surprised and felt ridiculous: "You are a little lady's family, what are you doing to buy a land village?"
Sister Hu Chun glanced at Mrs. Qi: "It's my business to learn after I buy it." It's not a waste of waste. ”
"You kid. Hu Lezong couldn't cry or laugh, and waved his hand one after another, "Aunt Qi is also a heartache wife, I have my own plans, you can play with those grapes." ”
Qiao Shi also reluctantly advised: "That is, don't be angry with your child." Those mentions are nothing. ”
Hu Lezong nodded in approval, feeling that Qiao's generosity was abnormal.
Sister Hu Chun insisted: "Father, Aunt Qiao, I'm not angry. She took the two thin pieces of paper she took out of the black drawer and gave them to Hu Lezong.
"What is this?" Hu Lezong took it with confusion, lowered his head and looked at it, almost losing the two pieces of paper.
Two thin sheets of paper, each with 5,000 taels written on it.
The payment is Ping An Yinzhuang.
Hu Lezong's firm is also a partnership with Ping An Yinzhuang, so he naturally recognized that the stamp was really built by Ping An Yinzhuang, and it couldn't be fake.
"You, where did you get so much money?" Hu Le Zongjue was frightened, and asked the eldest daughter with a frown.
He knew that his daughter had always been very smart, but he must not go down any crooked path......
Sister Hu Chun smiled and said, "Father, where do you want to go." This was earned a few years ago when I was doing business with Mrs. Cheng of the county. The coming road is abnormal. ”
Hu Lezong had an unusual trust in his daughter, and when he saw her say this, he calmed down, took the silver money and said, "Then what do you want to do?"
Sister Hu Chun smiled: "Father, I want to buy the village in the western suburbs." ”
Hu Lezong's generous gesture to his daughter shocked him speechlessly.
Qiao's seemed to be holding his throat as a whole.
This is, two 5,000 taels, which is 10,000 taels of silver bills?!
She had heard Mrs. Qi say that these stepdaughters and stepsons seemed to be rich, and she didn't put it in her mind at that time.
If you have money, you can have her Qiaofu money?
But now it's ferociousness that slaps the face of reality!
Sister Hu Chun, that's not rich, it's quite rich!
Although Qiao Yuyin doesn't know how to read, she still knows 5,000 taels of words, two 5,000 taels of silver bills, although she can't calculate how much money is in total, but she also knows that one is a lot, not to mention two!
Qiao Yuyin cheered, and rushed over to hug Sister Hu Chun's waist: "Eldest sister, it turns out that you are so rich! Take me to buy jewelry tomorrow!"
Just said that she would not buy jewelry, but she turned her head and forgot about the arrogance of the eldest sister of the local tyrant.
Mrs. Qi was also stunned by Sister Hu Chun.
10,000 taels ?......
This, this is too rich!
How did they earn such a sum of money from a few orphans and orphans?!
Mrs. Qi's face changed several times.
Hu Lezong relieved his mind and stuffed the silver bill into his daughter's palm: "You stupid boy, take it back quickly...... No, this money is not safe in the palm of your hand, tomorrow your father will go with you to the bank, and you can store the money in the bank. ”
Sister Hu Chun was embarrassed to say that there were still a lot of them in Yinzhuang......
Even in her black drawer, there are still a few of these denominations.
Sister Hu Chun didn't give Hu Lezong any more orders, she put the silver money in Qiao Yuyin's palm and touched Qiao Yuyin's head: "Little sister Yin, take this silver money to your mother, this silver money is taken out by the eldest sister to subsidize the family." ”
Qiao Yuyin was still young, she only knew that this was a lot of money, and she didn't have any other concepts, when she heard that the eldest sister gave this money to her mother, she happily took it back, stuffed it into Qiao's arms, and smiled very sweetly: "Mother, the eldest sister gave it to you." ”
In her opinion, it is natural to honor her mother, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
Qiao's face was full of anxiety: "You kid, how can you collect your eldest sister's money?!"
Qiao Yuyin was a little dazed, Qiao Shi hurriedly stood up and wanted to give the silver money to Sister Hu Chun, but she suddenly felt dizzy and fell back to the round chair.
The frightened Hu Lezong jumped over and stroked Qiao's in one step: "Madam, are you okay?"
Qiao Shi said with a weak face: "It's okay, Lang Jun, I'm just a little anxious...... You give this silver money to Sister Chun, I am her stepmother, Sister Chun is not young, and she should look at others, so she should send her a dowry when she waits for her to come out of the cabinet, since she wants the village, she will give it to her. ”
Hu Lezong was speechless to Qiao's thoughtfulness and generosity, although he had earned a lot of money for Qiao's Mansion in recent years, which had expanded Qiaofu's family business a lot. When Hu Lezong spent money, he was confident and unusually at ease. But that village is one of Qiao's escorts, and they had joked about it earlier, saying that they would give this village to Yin Yin as a dowry.
Now his wife actually took out the dowry left for her biological daughter to give to her stepdaughter as a dowry, how did Hu Lezong not move, how did he disrespect Qiao's family?
But in this way, it will be difficult for him to get the money back to his eldest daughter.
In the end, he could not use his wife's dowry to subsidize his daughter.
Hu Lezong was in a dilemma.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qi hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lady, rely on the slave to see, this silver money Mrs. is still good to stay." Didn't the eldest lady also say that this money was given to the wife to subsidize the family, which was a heart of filial piety to the elders, and the wife gave the village to the eldest lady, which was a mother's heart. This is the embodiment of our family's harmony and harmony and prosperity. ”
Hu Lezong's heart was shaken by this, but he still felt that 10,000 taels of silver was really too much.
Qiao Shi saw Hu Lezong's vacillation, and there was still an anxious look on his face: "Auntie, don't talk about it, no matter what you say, 10,000 taels is a bit too much." ”
Sister Hu Chun said in her heart, Qiao's palm is really beautiful to retreat and play.
Really, on the surface, taking 10,000 taels out to buy the Dizhuang is a bit of a gas. But she knew the price of the grape wine, and she also knew that the 10,000 taels to buy the village was actually not a loss.
She took a closer look at the soil in the village, and it was very suitable for planting grapes, and grapes were used to make grapes wine, and the price of grapes wine in this era was a million profits.
