Chapter 33: Slander Out of Thin Air
She came up with the idea of pitching a pot game!
Now there are too many sundries around me, pawnshops don't collect, stalls can't sell, just hoarded in dilapidated houses and can't play a role at all.
But these scattered piles are all good prizes for the pot throwing game.
Even if you buy these things, you won't go out of your way to buy a second-hand one, but as long as the cost of throwing a pot is lower than the price of the item, countless people will rush to take advantage of it.
Moreover, the original owner has lived in the village for so long, and he has seen many children playing popular games among literati on weekdays, but he has never seen a pitcher.
But you must know that in the annals of history, the game of pitching pots has indeed been popular for a long time, and even once became one of the necessary entertainment links for scholars' banquets.
Even if the pot is broken, it is not a pity, there are a lot of crockpots with missing corners in the broken house, these crockpots have cracks and cannot be used to make wine and make kimchi, and they are worried that the chicken soup will not be sealed enough, and it just happens to be useful.
As for the skewers, you only need to cut a few with straight branches.
She needs a super prize that is the most popular nowadays, everyone wants to get it, but she is not willing to buy it herself!
Whoever throws in 10 sticks will take home the reward!
Tang and Rou looked at the rouge shop.
It's not like I've been sitting at the rouge shop for so long today
There is no gain, as Tang Douer said, the men in this dynasty also love makeup. Many men will visit rouge shops, some for their own use, and some for their wives and daughters.
Compared with rouge, gouache is a cosmetic product that both men and women love.
"Shopkeeper, what kind of gouache is the most pleasing to the sons and buddies now?" She asked with a smile, walked into the shop, and before the shopkeeper tried to kick her out, she took a piece of silver from her pouch and threw it away.
A moment later.
Tang Youniang grabbed Tang Dou'er back, and saw Tang Yourou holding a delicate porcelain glittering gouache in her hands.
The two were dumbfounded, looked at each other, and then cried and pounced on Tang and Rou.
"Sister, don't marry to Pingzhou!"
"Big sister, Dou'er doesn't want you to marry!"
“…………”
Tang and Rou couldn't help but punch them in the head.
What are these two little ones thinking?
It's just that I bought a box of gouache, why is it that I want to get married?
For the game of pitching pots, she is almost 10% sure that she can make a lot of money. But before you can make a lot of money, there are still some serious problems that need to be solved!
She's going to break up!
She used Tang Zhuangyuan's statement that he intended to kill people, but she only restrained the Tang family for two or three days. Last night, Mrs. Tang had already dared to chase her for dog meat, and blatantly snatched the round porcelain inkstone.
If she doesn't split up before making a lot of money, with Mrs. Tang's temper, she will only intensify her exploitation of them, even if she earns more, she will only work for the Tang family to earn money.
After a long time, Mrs. Donald will think that she is a hen that lays golden eggs, and she will never want to separate the family again.
She had to plan carefully and find a way to get her grandmother to admit in front of Li Zheng and the clan elders that she would never touch their money again after the separation.
It was precisely because of the round porcelain inkstone that was snatched last night that Tang Yourou didn't want the gouache he bought at a great price to be snatched away, so he went to the locksmith's shop and bought a treasure chest with a lock.
Anyway, it's all needed in the future.
The treasure chest is said to be made of jujube wood, and the iron chain is tied to it, and every time the box is opened, the iron chain can make a swaying sound, which is very heavy. Even if it was an empty box, Tang and Rou Sibling needed to work together to carry it.
She was happy with the weight.
With such a heavy box, even if Mrs. Tang came to make a fuss in the house, she would not be able to move the whole thing.
The three of them borrowed a cart and pushed the treasure chest to the west of the city, waiting for the ox cart to return to the village.
After paying for the car, the three of them were destitute.
On the ox cart, Tang and Rou were holding their younger brothers and sisters left and right, and they were in a very good mood.
Tang Youniang began to worry about how to survive the winter: "Sister, what should I do next?" ”
Tang Yourou whispered to Tang Dou'er: "Dou'er, in the future, you will go back and practice pitching pots every day." ”
"What?!" Tang Dou'er hurriedly apologized, "Big sister, Dou'er is wrong, don't punish me." ”
"Whoever punishes you, just practice. You've got to practice until you can throw it in with your eyes closed, and then just wait to see the show! Tang and Rou stroked their heads and smiled meaningfully.
There were too many people in the car, so it was inconvenient to talk about her plan, and she was worried that the young lady and Dou'er would not be able to keep their mouths shut and accidentally leak out.
We'll wait until she exchanges her medical skills for more prizes.
On the bumpy ox cart, the siblings ate the rest of the dry food. Tang Youniang distracted her attention because of the constant chatting between her sister and brother, but this time there was no serious motion sickness, and two hours later, the ox cart finally returned to the village.
A carload of people got out of the car one after another, loosening their stiff backs.
The people in the car were unloading the goods, and when they saw that the treasure chest bought by Tang and Rou was too heavy, the simple and enthusiastic farmers came to help, but they were stopped by the coachman. He planned to send the boxes directly to the dilapidated house in an ox cart.
The villagers inquired curiously: "Rou girl went to the county seat to make a lot of money?" Why did you buy such a big box and come back? ”
Tang Yourou said matter-of-factly: "I bought it with the surplus money in my hand, and I set up a stall for a day today, and only sold three duckling seedlings." ”
The coachman asked, "Then what valuable thing are you going to put in it?" ”
Tang Yourou smiled: "Everyone has given so many things, there must be a box to store well." Scattered in a dilapidated house, it's really not like words. ”
The villagers seemed to be condemning Tang and Rou for spending money indiscriminately, and sighed one after another: "Oh, you can't afford to buy such a good box, how expensive is this?" "Yes, the little girl doesn't know how to run a house."
Don and Rou smiled without saying a word.
Ox carts run from the east of the village to the north of the village.
It was almost dark, and several women at the entrance of the village sat together eating mountain twists, pulling homely dishes.
Seeing that Tang and Rou were escorted to the broken house by several croppers, and got back a treasure chest, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, and asked her if she had made a lot of money by meeting a noble person in the county seat.
Tang and Rou, like Fang Cai, dealt with the village women.
As soon as she had finished speaking, the women of the village cast hostile glances at her, and there was a clear squeeze in their words, and they did not shy away from letting her hear them, and spoke loudly.
"Hey, look at her, she has just a few cars of silver that she cheated from her grandmother, and she has squandered it like this, and she is not sensible at all."
When she went to the county seat to make money, she didn't expect to buy only three ducklings. Just buy a treasure chest and come back? Do you really think you have something of value to pack? ”
Tang and the gentle siblings looked at each other.
I clearly remember that among these village women, several came to her to see a doctor, and they still talked and laughed at that time, why did they sneer at her in a blink of an eye. Where did she offend them?
"You go back to the house and make a fire, and make me a hot soup, and put the rest in a box and lock it." Tang Yourou whispered to Tang Youniang and handed her the sackcloth bag.
There are several taels of silver in the bag, but there are several taels of silver to buy the gastrodia pills and gouache, and they must not be extraneous branches.
Tang Youniang hurriedly responded, firmly held the sackcloth bag, and continued to go back to the broken house with the croppers with Dou'er.
Tang and Rou stopped, turned and walked straight to the village women.
