Chapter 34 Remembered
It's good that the owner isn't angry. Shopkeeper Ding consciously escaped the catastrophe, and his heart was relieved.
If Lin Jiu saw Chu Xiangyuan's owner, he would probably be surprised. Because, this proprietor in the county and even the state capital is actually the same as Lin Jiu, she is also a girl named Yan Chunhua.
To say that the Great Zhou Dynasty that Lin Jiu came through was not very strict with women, and women could still show up to do business. However, a woman like Yan Chunhua who has made such a big business is still a minority after all.
This is also due to the fact that the Yan family is a family of merchants, and the children and grandchildren can not be literate, but they can't plan to do anything. Of course, with the increasing prosperity of the family, the children of the Yan family who could not read and write have become extinct.
Today, the Yan family's big house is an official in the court, and the second room is in charge of the family business. And Yan Chunhua is the daughter of the second room, and she has been smart since she was a child. It is said that at the age of three, he was proficient in planning, at the age of four, he learned calligraphy, and at the age of five, he followed his family to inspect the shops.
Now fifteen years old, he is in charge of many family businesses. This Chu Xiangyuan is a restaurant she manages. The performance has been good. If it weren't for the recent sharp drop in income, she wouldn't have discovered that Shopkeeper Ding was so stubborn and self-serving, and pushed out the God of Wealth who was sent to the door.
However, her Yan Chunhua's life creed is that there is no problem that cannot be solved. Since money can't impress Lin Jiu, let's try something else.
In short, what she wants to do, there is nothing she can't do.
Lin Jiu happily returned to the mountain, where Zhao was making a fire and cooking.
"Mother, I'm back. Have you taken your medicine well today? ”
"Yes, of course. My daughter is so filial, how can my mother not cooperate. Zhao smiled contentedly.
Come to think of it, these days are hard though. However, the smile on her face was even more than when she was in the Lin family for so many years combined.
"By the way, Lord Chu has been here today. Ask him when you're going to bring him some more food. ”
Lin Jiu frowned, she did say that she would send delicious food to Chu Linghui. But where is there anyone who chased after me and asked for it, and who was still an official, it was really cheeky.
I secretly complained in my heart, but my face was still bright, "I won't send it today, I'm patronizing to sell things, and I don't have time to hunt in the mountains." We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Zhao agreed, and at the same time instructed: "Don't be careful, I see that Lord Chu has lost weight." It can be seen that Lizheng's family does not eat very well. I really didn't expect that when entertaining Lord Chu, they could still be so careless. ”
Seeing Chu Linghui's face, Zhao took it for granted that it must be caused by the daughter-in-law of the Li Zheng family being stingy and reluctant to give people good things to eat.
Of course Lin Jiu knew that it wasn't, it was obviously that kid was too tricky. Otherwise, the Lizheng family would be able to eat with oil on their faces and fat bodies.
"Don't worry, mother, I'll send him food tomorrow. What do you see I bought back today? As she spoke, she handed over the basket as if offering a treasure.
Zhao excitedly checked the cloth and embroidery thread that his daughter bought, "Oh, the cloth and thread you bought are too good, my mother is afraid that she will spoil things." ”
"Don't be afraid, my daughter has an idea. We don't make ordinary purses, those can't be sold at a good price. Let's make some rare things, and we can earn more silver. ”
"Mother, take good care of yourself. Once we've sold these handicrafts, we'll be able to move to town. The daughters have already looked at the house, just waiting for you to make a decision. ”
"Hey, my mother's Jiu'er is really capable. So soon we can get our two to live in town. ”
Lin Jiu carefully looked at Zhao's craftsmanship. If it is sewn and mended at home, it is definitely a first-class good craft. However, if it is taken out and sold, it is not particularly good.
Today, she has asked the price in both the cloth shop and the embroidery shop, and a purse is only five to eight cents. According to Zhao's craftsmanship, I am afraid that it will take three or four days to embroider a purse. She can't earn any money and is tired, which is not conducive to her recuperation.
But if she wasn't allowed to do it, Lin Jiu was afraid that the Zhao family would be unhappy.
When people have hope, there is hope for life. You have to make Zhao feel that he is a useful person.
With this mentality, Lin Jiu pondered all the way when he came back. It's better to make something new and make a quick buck.
Although she doesn't know how to embroider female red or anything, she has a lot of things in her head. What fabric toys, pillows, hats, etc., there are many patterns. Let Zhao make these fresh fabrics according to his own ideas, and there will definitely be a market.
Zhao kept nodding, these days, she has begun to get used to relying on her daughter. It seems that in front of Lin Jiu, nothing can stump her.
Lin Jiu was talking, and early the next morning, after having breakfast, he went into the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back. She planned to pick up some game, and she was ready to send it to Chu Linghui.
In the deep mountains, the trees cover the sky and the sun, and there are many small animals. Almost effortlessly, Lin Jiu hit three rabbits. Because he had to rush back to make lunch, Lin Jiu didn't stay long and turned back to the forest.
After packing up a rabbit, she remembered that she still had a lot of books in her space. I simply found this recipe and cooked according to the gourd scoop.
This time, she chose a simple approach, the saliva rabbit that was very popular in her previous life. Cook the washed rabbit seasoning and cut it into sections, dip it in the sauce and eat it.
"Do you have two more rabbits to pickle?" Zhao asked.
"No, I'll go to town in the afternoon and sell this rabbit."
Lin Jiu touched his pocket, still feeling that his speed of making money was too slow. Up to now, she had less than ten taels of silver in her pocket. At this rate, when will you be able to make a fortune?
"Jiu'er, it's useless to be a mother, and you're tired." Zhao was distressed. The more sensible her daughter is, the more useless she seems to be as a mother.
"Mother, you're not useless. Don't worry, the fabric I told you will definitely make a lot of money. ”
Lin Jiu cooked the rabbit, made the seasoning sauce, packed it with oiled paper and bamboo tubes, and sent it to Lizheng's house.
Seeing that Lin Jiu appeared again, Zhang glared at her fiercely, and kept scolding her for being shameless in his heart.
However, no matter how much she hated Lin Jiu, she didn't dare to say anything. For the people in the village, the county order is considered a great official. Not to mention a Beijing official like Chu Linghui, if he borrowed her courage, he didn't dare to offend.
Lin Jiu didn't even glance at Zhang this time, and walked directly to the door of the east house, "Is Lord Chu here, I've brought you food." ”
The curtain of the door was quickly lifted, and Lin Jiu seemed to see a flash of joy in the eyes of this cold and hard man.
No, she must have been dazzled. This man is as cold as ice, and his heart is arrogant, how can he look at himself differently.
"I'm looking for you." Lin Jiu said directly.
