Chapter 154: Envy
The hub of the carriage rumbled, the bells jingled, the drivers shouted, and one after another carriage full of goods set off from Xiao's house and drove into the distance in the twilight.
Countless people in the village watched, and each carriage of this spectacular motorcade was filled with the Xiao family's newly brewed fruit wine.
Li Shi looked up, his eyes were blazing and eager, the insoles in his hands had not been touched for a long time, where was so much wine to be sold? How much silver is a jar?
Her heart was hot, because when she was helped in the Xiao family, Xiao Ming taught her and several women the method of making wine, Li glanced at the Dawang family and the Wang family who were also watching, and the two of them were also shocked, the two of them helped in the Xiao family with the Li family, and learned this method of winemaking at the same time.
Li looked inexplicable, envious of the wealth of the Xiao family, after Xiao Ming taught them the method of making wine at the beginning, she was very excited, and her heart turned a thousand times, and she secretly tried it with the fruits of the family when she returned home.
There are a few old peach trees in her family, which will bear some fruit every year, although they are not as fruitful as the peach trees of the Xiao family, full and juicy, and the fruits can barely be eaten, she is impatient, and she can't wait for the peaches to officially ripen, so she has half a jar of wine, and uses the method of Xiao Mingjiao to prepare, she waits with excitement and hope, looking forward to it, but unfortunately, the final result is ~~
As much hope as there is, there is as much disappointment as there is.
The fruit wine she brewed could not be regarded as fruit wine at all, except for a pungent smell of wine, there was also a smell of rotten fruit, which could not be eaten at all.
The people of the village, old and young, all came out to see this bustle, the cars drove by one by one, the cars were full of wine jars, the drivers were well-trained, the steady horses were controlled, shouted, drove the horses out of the Xiao family, and left the village to make ready-made.
"Oh, oh, this is the first car." The third grandmother exclaimed, from morning to now, this convoy has not stopped.
"There are more than a hundred." The old man in the village said that his eyes were all dazzled, there were too many, and he only counted an approximate number.
"Sister-in-law Wang, how many jars of wine does this Xiao family sell for, and how much silver does this cost." The woman in the village who didn't help Xiao Ming's family pick fruits asked curiously, not only her, but also many other people were listening, scratching their ears and cheeks, wanting to know the situation.
"How do I know that?" Wang said, saying that it is false to say that he is not envious, and he has some bad feelings in his heart, thinking that Xiao Ming's family, just three children, borrowed food from their family at the beginning of the year, and now, this day has changed a lot.
"The wine in this city is all two taels of silver per jar, and the Xiao family's fruit wine is one tael of silver per jar, and how much silver does it have to sell." Someone exclaimed, everyone knows that the Xiao family has placed tens of thousands of jars in the wine jar alone, and this two taels of silver and one jar will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
A group of people were silent, so much silver, a number they had never seen in their lives.
Different from the bustle of the village, the courtyard of the Xiao family is also very lively, the Lin family sent their own sister Li Mama to carry the fruit wine, after learning that Xiao Ming's family has a new canned fruit, the Lin family boldly ordered 1,500 jars, directly regardless of the reason, regardless of the taste of the canned fruit, directly buy and sell, this is the Lin family's trust in Xiao Ming.
The amount of 5,000 jars is not a small amount, and early in the morning, Mother Li came with a long convoy and a girl to carry the fruit wine, load it and transport it away.
"Mother Yi, what else do you want to move after the wine is moved?" Pear ran over and asked.
"Move the apple bar, apples, peaches, and pear wine are all five hundred jars." At the gate of the courtyard, a table was temporarily placed, and Mother Yi, Song, and Mother Li sat together, watching the dozen or so girls in the courtyard busy.
Yi's mother ticked off the wine from the account book, and the Lin family ordered 2,000 jars of wine, and 500 other fruit wines, and the wine in the fruit wine accounted for most of the weight. Fortunately, the girl made all the grapes into wine.
"Be careful, but don't smash the jar." Mother Li didn't tell me clearly, these wine jars are expensive things, and they can be sold for dozens or hundreds of taels of silver in her lady's shop.
~~
Xiao Ming ignored the chores at home, she led Wang Yunling and Jiang Xiangyuan to the edge of Daqing Mountain to collect medicine, each of the three of them carried a small back on their backs, squatted on the ground to dig and collect medicinal materials, and in a short time they had already collected a lot of miscellaneous medicinal materials.
At the same time, there were also Wang Quling's little follower Wang Lian and the big wolf dog Maomao, when the three of them were collecting medicine, this person and a dog were waiting next to them, Maomao shuttled in the grass from time to time, and from time to time strung out.
Daqing Mountain is rarely set foot in, it is rich in materials, after a spring and summer growth, herbs are everywhere.
"Sister Ming, do you see if this is a black berry." Jiang Xiangyuan's face was flushed, and she was shaking a freshly picked medicinal herb in her hand with excitement.
"Well, I'll see." Xiao Ming took it in his hand and looked closely, the stems were purple and green, longitudinal edges, tendrils; pubescent young branches, palmate compound leaves, with five leaflets, arranged in a bird's claw-like distribution, is indeed a black berry, a medicinal material that is not found in the medicine garden.
"It's black berries, pick more and transplant them into the orchard." Xiao Ming said, digging with Jiang Xiangyuan, while digging to explain to the two of them the medicinal effects of black berries, "It is also called five-clawed vine, wild grape vine, can clear heat and detoxify, dampness and swelling, mash external application, treat carbuncles, boils, cheeks, erysipelas; rheumatic bone pain caused by damp heat flowing into the meridians; jaundice, dysentery, blood in the urine, white turbidity and other symptoms of dampness and heat stagnation".
Wang Yunling and Jiang Xiangyuan remember very seriously.
"Sister Ming, how do you know so much?" Jiang Xiangyuan sighed, Xiao Ming is younger than her, and it is really amazing to be able to remember so much, she has not memorized much for several months.
I am endorsing books every day, and her head hurts when she looks at books, and she feels that studying medicine is ten times more difficult than studying.
"I can memorize some every day, and I can remember it more firmly when I apply it to practice in the future." Xiao Ming said that her enlightenment book since she was a child was a medical book, and in the past and present life, medical books and medicinal materials have grown up with her for decades.
"This is called insect tooth medicine, also called the three sisters, typhoid head, can ·······" Xiao Ming explained while digging medicine, like this, it really made the two of them write down a lot of medicinal materials, and when they encountered medicinal materials that were not in the space or at home, Xiao Ming dug them up and took them away, ready to transplant them at home or in the space.
Daqingshan is very big, she is only picking medicine in the corner of the edge, Xiao Ming did not go into the deep mountains to collect medicine like last time, she picked a full handful of herbs in the periphery, and the harvest was quite rich.
Wang Lian just sat quietly as always, following Wang Yunling's movements, Mao Mao was elated, whining and howling from time to time to express his mood at this time, skewering in the grass, sometimes biting a rabbit or a few wild eggs, and the harvest was equally huge.
"Ouch, look at Maomao, a mouthful of blood." Jiang Xiangyuan pointed to Maomao, the black dog's mouth was stained with blood, dripping downward, and there were a few hares and pheasants on the ground, some of which had not yet breathed.
"Woo!" Mao Mao skewered around Xiao Ming's feet like an invitation.
"You're naughty." Xiao Ming smiled lovingly, ** its silky hair.
"There's game to eat tonight."
