When the group got on the donkey cart and walked towards Qiliangou, they didn't meet anyone on the way, and Chi Lingmiao finally started chattering happily.

Qi Shan is no longer surprised by his daughter-in-law's chattering temperament, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi are also a little adapted, but Qi Jiuli is not, all the way is filled with Chi Lingmiao's cheerful laughter, although the voice is louder, but it is also pleasant.

Qi Jiuli echoed a few words from time to time, and Chi Lingmiao was even happier when he said it.

"Jiuli is still the same as before." Qi Shan said happily, "You are willing to listen to your uncle's nagging." ”

"Where am I nagging, it's so happy today, that Qiu Mansion is really a home of great benevolent people, if you ask us to buy so much charcoal every year in the future, you won't be rich." Chi Lingmiao said happily.

"Auntie, where can I make a fortune by selling some charcoal like this." Qi Jiuli laughed.

"Although we can't make a fortune, we have an extra income at home, and we can not only sell to Yu Zhai, I think we can also sell it in Yu Ji grocery store." Chi Lingmiao said.

"It's half the price." Qi Jiuli pointed out.

Chi Lingmiao's expression was a little entangled, "Hey, too, I thought it was very good for six wen and one pound before, but Qiu Zhai was out of twelve." ”

"But Qiu Mansion needs so much every year, we can make it in two days, and this excess must be sold to others." Chi Lingmiao said, "If you are lower, you will always have six Wen and one catty, which is much better than nothing." ”

"What's more, we don't need any silver, just trees and water."

"Although we don't want the principal silver, we have spent our labor." Qi Jiuli said, "But the eldest aunt is right, we can't just sell it to Qiu Zhai, we also have to sell it to others, and it is best to be able to ask for it for a long time like Qiu Zhai." ”

Qi Shan glanced back at Qi Jiuli, "Jiuli, you already have an idea?" ”

"Yes, yes, but we have to see it." Qi Jiuli said.

"Jiuli, what kind of melon and what kind of cotton did you say today, I saw that the housekeeper was very happy after listening to it, and gave such a basket of things, when she talked to me, but I went to see you, you took these back, and the eggs were not given in vain." Chi Lingmiao said.

"That's right, auntie, when my sister took eggs from me and wanted to give them away for free, my heart hurt so much." Qi Shixiang said with deep sympathy, "But people bought so much charcoal from us, even if I feel distressed, I have to bear it myself, I can't let people see it, what if she doesn't buy our charcoal in the future." ”

"I didn't expect that the housekeeper returned the salute later, and I don't know what it is, sister, let's take a look now?" Qi Shixiang looked at Qi Jiuli expectantly.

"Well, look." Qi Jiuli stretched her neck to look, she was also curious.

Qi Shixiang lifted the red cotton cloth on it and touched several handfuls, "Wow, this is cotton, but this size is ......."

Qi Shixiang compared the cotton cloth to his body, and had a plan for this cloth in his heart, so he put it aside.

"Wow, this is brown sugar." Qi Shixiang picked up a pair of oiled paper seals, smelled the smell, and opened them excitedly, "This has to weigh one pound, and these two are two pounds." ”

"What is this?" There was also a pair of oiled paper seals, Qi Shixiang opened them carefully, and there was pastry inside, "Look good, plum blossom-like pastries, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful pastry." ”

Qi Shixiang swallowed her saliva as she spoke, "I don't know what it tastes like?" ”

Qi Jiuli directly picked up a piece and stuffed it into Qi Shixiang's mouth, and then took two more pieces and stuffed them into Chi Lingmiao and Qi Shiyi's mouths respectively, as for the uncle's, Qi Jiuli asked Chi Lingmiao to stuff it, and finally took a piece and ate it himself, and there was only one piece left in the letter.

"Sister, it's delicious, but it's really not eaten." Qi Shixiang covered her mouth, her eyes were very bright, but when she saw that the letter was almost empty, she felt pain in her flesh.

"There are only six pieces in this envelope, plus this one is left, a total of seven pieces, and the lobby brother, the lobby sister-in-law, the third cousin, the third cousin, and the eighth cousin and Wen Shu, plus the brother, exactly one piece per person." Qi Shixiang folded his fingers and counted carefully.

"You take it back yourself, and eat it when Qizhu comes back." Ji Lingmiao refused.

"Auntie, you refused, how can we be embarrassed to go to dinner in the future." Qi Jiuli swallowed the pastry and said, "Everyone has done their best to make charcoal, of course, they all have to eat good things." ”

Qi Shan smiled and said, "Jiuli said well, listen to Jiuli." ”

"Hey, what is this?" Qi Shixiang opened a large oiled paper seal that was not bound, and it turned out to be a roast chicken, probably because it was cold, and the smell was covered by the oiled paper seal, so he didn't smell it.

"Roast chicken." Qi Jiuli swallowed uncontrollably, he had never missed meat so much, he could finally have a good meal tonight.

"Qiu Zhai's return gift is too generous." Qi Shixiang was dumbfounded.

"There's one more." Qi Jiuli saw that there was a red envelope at the bottom of the basket, picked it up, it had some weight, opened it and saw that it was a copper coin, and counted it, fifty wen.

"How do you pay the money back?" Qi Shixiang was shocked, "That basket has a total of twenty-eight eggs, even if it is sold, it will only cost one penny, and these fifty can buy fifty eggs." ”

"Jiuli, what do you mean by what you said before?" Qi Shan asked curiously.

"The melon is endless, and the erchang is blazing, which means that the descendants are like melons and vines, and the children and grandchildren are prosperous from generation to generation." Qi Jiuli touched his nose and said, "This is what I heard before, it seems to be called something from the Book of Songs, so I borrowed it." ”

"That's what it means." Chi Lingmiao suddenly said, "No wonder you finished talking about the housekeeper with a smile on his face." ”

"It seems that this Qiu steward is not simple, the woman can do stewardship, and she is also literate, not an ordinary slave." Qi Shan said.

"We are also very powerful in Jiuli, we can think of such good words, it must be Jiuli who said it, people think that we are good people to give such a heavy gift in return, and they also said that they only buy our charcoal." Chi Lingmiao said.

Qi Shan nodded in agreement.

"Well, by the way, I have one here." Chi Lingmiao thought of the red envelope she had received before, opened it and saw that there were also ten wen, "Wow, Qiu Zhai is really generous, you used to go to the landlord's house to work, and you earned fifteen wen a day, and you didn't have to eat." ”

Chi Lingmiao wrapped the red envelope and handed it to Qi Jiuli, "Jiuli, it depends on you to get it today, the charcoal is what you came up with, and it is because of you that Qiu Zhai set the charcoal, these are all taken and saved for Qizhu as a plate." ”

"Auntie, I have this." Qi Jiuli raised the red envelope of Yang Wuwen, "And the eighth cousin is also going to take the exam, and he has to be entangled, not to mention that he will not send it again in the middle of this month, and he can earn a lot, and after he tells other shops, there will be more." ”

Chi Lingmiao didn't get entangled, anyway, it was the same, she kept it first, Qi Qizhu was not enough to entangle her, and then she would take it out.
