On a new day, the warm spring sun climbs up the hill in the distance, the blue sky is like washing, clean and transparent, which makes people feel refreshed.

Jiang Yi was busy with Zuo and Chun'er early in the morning to bring all the winter clothes and bedding at home and go to the river to wash them, while Liu'er asked her to help in the store.

More than a dozen sets of clothes, three beds of bedding, even if the three of them work together, they are busy for a while.

After washing and drying the clothes, they took the futon to the river, and the three of them scrubbed the clear and warm riverside stone slabs.

It's quite boring to sit at the counter every day, but now I'm busy stretching my muscles and bones, and the sun is basking in the sun, which makes my whole body warm, my cheeks are flushed, and there are even fine beads of sweat on my forehead, and the whole person is brisk.

"Mrs. Bu, I didn't expect you to be very good at business, and you are also a good hand at housework, and your clothes are washed quickly and well."

Jiang Yi glanced at Zuo on the opposite side and feigned disgust; "Sister-in-law, didn't you keep calling me Chunya before? Now you actually call me Mrs. Bu, are we light? ”

Zuo hurriedly shook his hand and explained; "No, no, no, I just think you're so capable, and it seems a little ...... to call you Chunya What's that. Besides, like Uncle Shui Yun, Master Zhao now calls you Mrs. Bu......"

"Hey, it doesn't matter what you shout, it's just a title." As he spoke, he beat his clothes with a laundry stick a few times, and then said again; "Besides, I don't have three heads and six arms, right?"

Zuo's hands also stopped, rubbing and talking; "In just three years, you have achieved what you are today, and some people, even men, can't do it in a lifetime, isn't that amazing? If only I had such a great power, not to mention a million net worth, I would be satisfied if I could let a family of several people not worry about eating or not worrying about eating. ”

When Jiang Yi heard this, she thought for a while; "If my sister-in-law has such thoughts, I have a way to point you out, not to mention making you rich, but it's no problem to earn twenty or thirty taels a year."

In the past, Jiang Yi had exchanged the current silver taels for the purchasing power of the soft sister coin in 2020 in the previous life, about one tael was equal to eight hundred yuan.

But in fact, because there are not many goods, many people often don't need money to buy things, in the previous life, in 2020, 800 yuan was enough for an ordinary person to eat for a month at most, and in this era, in a small place like Lin Feng Town, one or two pieces of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend more than a month.

So these 800 pieces are about equal to 800 pieces before 2000.

earning twenty or thirty taels a year, for a village woman, it is quite shocking, Zuo's eyes are wide open; "What Mrs. Step said is true?!"

"What are you lying to?"

Zuo forgot the work in his hand and asked eagerly; "What way, you tell me!"

Jiang Yidao; "Look at my snail noodle shop, I use a lot of chili peppers every day, and I have to boil chili oil, and on average, a shop uses about one pound of chili peppers a day."

"That's right, you have almost ten snail noodle shops now, and you need to use ten catties a day, and you need to use ...... a month."

"Three hundred pounds!" Tsubaki interjected.

"Yes, yes!"

Jiang Yi smiled and said; "And in the future, our powder shops will open more and more, and the demand will be more than that!"

The chili peppers of the previous life were probably introduced around the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty.

Similar to the previous life, in this world, chili peppers also began to appear in the Dayong Dynasty in the past fifty or sixty years, and began to slowly become popular twenty or thirty years ago.

It first appeared in coastal cities, such as Quanzhou in Guangzhou, and the first batch of chili peppers were planted by some literati, who carried them in flower pots and flower beds for ornamentation.

Chinese people have a good habit of studying the medicinal properties of any plant, so some people found that they can be used in medicine and even eaten.

However, there are not many people who eat it in coastal cities, but it is popular in the inland mountainous areas of the upper reaches of the Pearl River.

The main reason for this is that salt is particularly expensive in the inland mountainous areas, and people in the mountainous areas cannot afford to eat salt, but peppers can be grown very well.

So 'I replaced salt with pepper and used the following rice.'

This is well documented, recorded in the local chronicles recorded by a magistrate in Yungui.

Linhe Mansion also belongs to the inland mountainous area, where more than ten years ago began to rise to eat chili peppers, but there is no popularization, and there are not many people who can't do without chili peppers all year round, so there are people who grow chili peppers, but there are not many.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi opened a snail noodle shop in these places, otherwise the main seasoning of chili pepper would really not be able to meet the daily demand.

Even so, because her shop needs too many chili peppers, not to mention Lin Feng Town, even the price of chili peppers in Gui County has increased.

This is also Jiang Yi's headache during this time.

"I went to inquire, and the area in your village is very suitable for growing chili peppers, and the chili peppers grown are very beautiful. If you are willing to plant it, sell it all to me in the future, and I will give you the right price. ”

Zuo's agitated Dao; "Really? That's okay, my family has a lot of mountainous land, there are more than a dozen acres, I will plant all of them when I go back this year, let my mother's family also plant, if it is not enough, I will let the villagers plant too. ”

"Okay?!"

"Uh-huh!"

While the three of them were chatting happily in the river, Liu Er sat behind the counter and held her cheeks.

In the first batch of girls, she is also a relatively sensitive person, Jiang Yi taught ten girls to recognize words, she is the fastest learner, and she usually does things quite well, which is deeply loved by Jiang Yi, otherwise Jiang Yi would not choose her to follow her.

Business in the noodle shop in the morning is relatively poor, because most people don't like to eat too heavy flavors in the morning.

Except for the occasional collection of money, most of the time is in a daze watching the guests coming and going at the door.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

The spring sun shone obliquely outside the door, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway, perhaps because the clothes on his body were clean and bright, and there was a faint halo under the shroud of the sun.

Then, when the man walked into the store, he saw a splendid shirt cut and fitted, and he looked outstanding on his body, and his clean and fair face showed a superior, cynical look.

'Is that him?!' ’

After the man came in an old man and a few servants.

"In the countryside, it is difficult to have elegant food, what is this selling, pig food? It stinks! As soon as the man entered, he flicked his sleeves with a look of disdain, and then drew a fan and raised it to cover his nose.

A few guests who were eating noodles next to him listened, and glanced at each other, and one of the men opened his mouth to say something, but saw that this group of people were dressed as either rich or expensive, and their mouths moved and they didn't speak.

This person was Wang Zihua, he looked around, and then paced towards the counter.

Liu Er suddenly felt a little hurried and asked softly; "Does Childe eat powder? Please sit inside. ”

Wang Zihua habitually looked up and down at the slightly embarrassed person with unscrupulous eyes, and said with a smile; "Hey, have we ever seen this girl so beautiful?"

Liu Er lowered her head and muttered; "Last night at the door of the Lin Feng Hotel, I saw Childe."

"Huh." Seeing her shy, Wang Zihua shook the fan twice and said with a smile; "Although there is no food, there are beautiful women."

Liu Er grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and she has never seen any rich and noble sons, and she is in the cardamom years, so she felt that this son was rich and charming, outstanding and personable.

Now hearing him say this, he suddenly felt angry and ashamed, biting his lip lightly and unable to speak.
