Chapter 38 Water Celery

This picture is too strong.

It is as if he has smelled a strong smell of stored and fermented leeks and green onions, mixed with the rich smell of green onions and ginger in the meat filling.

These flavors are bumped in the carriage, matured by body temperature, heated in the throat, and then passed through the yellowing and greasy lips and teeth...

He was throwing up.

The squirming expression successfully pleases Han Chuan.

Han Chuan happily put the silver money in the coarse porcelain bowl into the sachet bag, heavy, there is a kind of joy of sinking hands.

After going to the cost every day, she can probably earn 200 wen - the ingredients are not expensive, the focus is on the novelty of the combination and exquisite craftsmanship, and she can make money on craftsmanship. On the thirties of January, with one day off in the first ten months, if she continues to do it, she will be able to earn more than 5,000 wen a month, and more than 5 taels of silver! In addition to the rent of one tael of silver per month and the five taels of silver to be paid to Cui's every month, she made a net profit of three or four taels of silver a month, which was as high as a jinshi and a school scholar who was the first seventh-rank official!

When she was the daughter of the palace in Yeting, it was only two or two months of money!

I also go out early and return late every day, and I am afraid.

Now she only needs to get up early, sell a hundred cakes, go back to rest for a long time, and go to the vegetable market in the eastern and western suburbs in the afternoon to shop for ingredients, and by the way, determine the fillings for tomorrow.

If she has been staying at Grandpa Bai's house, she is an orphan girl and has nothing to worry about, and this money is enough.

It's just that...

Han Chuan carefully tightened and sealed the sachet bag, cherished it in his arms, and when he looked up, he saw that the gentleman picked up her bamboo dustpan with great interest and looked at the light, thought about it, and opened his mouth with a smile, "Zhang Langjun, you are a native of Beijing, right?" ”

This gentleman comes to buy cakes every day, prefers to grow oily noodles, wears ornaments and is angry, and speaks in a fluent tone, the mother-in-law who sells gold silk nest candy next door sees him as if he is facing a great enemy, the old woman's surname is Nie, and the neighbors call her a sentence "Mrs. Nie", the family is doing kite and lantern business, it is a time-honored brand in the capital, and the family background is also solid, but this Mrs. Nie is good at setting up a stall to sell sugar, not trying to make much money, trying to do something every day.

After getting acquainted with Mrs. Nie, she smiled and nodded with Hanchuan, "Zhang Langjun comes to buy cakes every day, and Xiaohe Niangzi is a little vigilant." ”

Han Chuan said yes on his face, but he was calm in his heart.

I've been here every day, and I'm really here to buy bread...

If she draws the appearance of eating cakes and sticks them in front of the stall, I am afraid that the business of her small stall will be able to go to the next level - the cake is like Xizi holding the heart, both pity and love, regret and fast.

This gentleman really loves food, and he really understands it, and when it comes to eating, he is also the first to say, and he is stamped with a seal to confirm that this is a qualified eater.

He replied, "The last eight generations are all serious Beijingers!" He tasted the dustpan and praised, "Your dustpan is good, and it is tightly woven to the wind, and if you take it to the glutinous rice flour, it will be sifted very finely." ”

The thing is delicious, her craftsmanship is good, and it has a relationship with the dustpan with half a copper plate!

Han Chuan wiped his sweat, and asked with a smile again, "Then Lang Jun understands the price of the house in Jingli?" How much does it cost to buy a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits? ”

He laughed, "You're asking the right question." There is nothing I don't know about eating, drinking, and having fun in Beijing. You said that the capital is also divided into land boundaries, and a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits in Xusi Gate can be counted at this rate! ”

The gentleman compared it to a "five".

Han smacked his tongue, "Five hundred taels!?" ”

Su Yile laughed, "Xusi Gate is next to the imperial city, there are many alleys, there are few empty houses, and if you want to buy it, you have to rely on chance." If it is outside the Xusi Gate, it will be cheaper, and you can build a good small courtyard for one or two hundred taels. ”

The sachet bag has become lighter...

She earns three taels of silver a month, and she doesn't eat, drink, get sick, or spend money, and it takes fourteen years... to buy a house with two entrances and two exits in the inner city...

This also requires people to have a suitable house for sale after 14 years, and guarantee that the price will not increase...

Han Chuan wiped his face and was suddenly deflated.

It is not easy to live in the capital.

The ancients did not deceive me...

Buying a home is an eternal problem.

Han Chuan pushed the stall cart back to the Iron Lion Hutong, and happened to meet Cui's carrying a bamboo basket and was about to go out of the house, seeing Han Chuan pushing the stall cart, her face was a little unbearable - she was the only one in the family who knew what Han Chuan was doing when she got up early and went out in the dark, and she could think of it, but she went to set up a food stall.

Although she didn't agree with the girl's family showing up to make money, she thought about how much money and silver the family could get in every month, so she turned a blind eye.

If her father-in-law knows about this, she will say that Han Chuan will be scolded, even if she can't eat and walk around!

Cui's eyes avoided the stall cart, and greeted Han Chuan with a smile, "Back?" Tired? Let's get inside! What do you want to eat at noon? Chops? Big meat? Or a seasonal side dish? ”

Anyway, no matter what you answer, the last thing to come to the table is only the seasonal side dishes...

Han Chuan smiled kindly, "Sister-in-law looks at it and buys it, they all love to eat." ”

Cui Shi said two more pleasantries, then walked out of the alley, and happened to meet the eldest daughter-in-law of Imperial Doctor Hu, Lu Shi, who also walked out with a vegetable basket in one hand.

The two of them were originally married into the Iron Lion Hutong, one family is the ancestral imperial doctor, the other is the ancestral imperial kitchen, and because of Bai Dalang's illness, the two families have always been close, the two daughters-in-law got together and talked, and the Lu family talked about the recent news in Beijing, "... Not to mention anything else, the craftsmanship that came out of the imperial dining room is really different... The lady He who stayed at your house is now doing well in Broad Street..."

Cui's smile narrowed.

This is the disadvantage of the girl's family going out to do business.

The money is earned, and the face is lost.

Fortunately, the Bai family has no daughters now, if there is a daughter to be married, it will really be a shame.

Lu Shi picked out fresh water celery and continued, "Listen to our family Wenhe, oh, you know that our Wenhe is on an errand in Jing Zhaoyin, right?" That, the people who queued up to buy cakes the day before yesterday at He Niangzi's stall were really a long column - but He Niangzi also had a heart, a cake dared to sell for ten cents, and the stall would be closed after 100 were sold every day, and never too much! ”

"That's it, there are no fewer diners every day... Take two water celery, please shake the water! Saying that, he turned his head and smiled, "It's also a blessing for you to invite a God of Wealth to live in the house." ”

Cui Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Lu Shi put the side dishes in the basket, as if he suddenly remembered something, "After the New Year's pass, Sixi is almost fourteen, right?" You've been idle for so many years, and you're finally going to get busy! ”

Cui Shi was a little puzzled.

Lu Shi "ouch", "Sixi's family affairs!" I heard my father-in-law say, Old Man Bai likes this He Lady very much? Picking people up from the palace and going home to live, isn't it the idea of fighting? ”

Cui's hands were a little cold, and his back suddenly trembled.
