Chapter 83
Wang came over, just when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at his daughter at a loss, "Then how is this good?" ”
Lin Baoru saw that her mother was worried, and hurriedly relieved: "It's not a matter of worrying. ”
"Even if he solves that method, it can only be regarded as a simple version of soap beans in the end. It is much worse than what we have taken out today. Besides, as long as she has the money to buy the materials on the side, she is worried that she can't make better handmade soap?
The left and right sides are in her own mind, as long as she doesn't let go. Regardless of the owner and the shopkeeper who came to the grocery store by the way, there are many chicken thieves, don't try to take advantage of it.
After she finished speaking, she solemnly greeted Aunt Mei and Uncle Mei, "Thank you Uncle and Aunt for the reminder, otherwise I'm afraid that I will have to come to the grocery store in the future." ”
Aunt Mei saw that after she listened to the calculation of the grocery store, she did not panic at all, and she was even more eager to see this person. So she waved her hand and smiled, "What is this?" In the past, when I first started to do business with your uncle, I was deceived several times, and at that time, a few kind-hearted ladies looked for a time to talk to us, otherwise maybe we wouldn't be able to save this restaurant. ”
Saying this, Lin Baoru also understood the reason why the two people in front of him were warm-hearted. In addition to the fact that the two of them were originally kind-hearted, they probably also remembered the favor of others in the past.
Sure enough, all the goodwill in the world is continuous.
Today she is helped, and he will pass on his kindness one day.
Seeing that the words were clear, the Wang family and Lin Baoru didn't plan to stay longer.
When the shopkeeper went to the counter to get the money, Aunt Mei gossiped with Baoru and her mother for a while.
It was also at this time that Lin Baoru learned that the shopkeeper was originally the Zhao family in the backing village.
As soon as she heard that it was a backing village, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang and asked, "Mother, didn't the eldest brother go to the backing village to learn the pig killing craft from Master Zhao's family?" ”
Wang nodded, and immediately looked at Aunt Mei with interest and asked, "Old sister-in-law, have you heard of the Zhao butcher in the mountain village?" ”
Aunt Mei hurriedly nodded when she heard this, "That's our brother." ”
There is only one butcher in the mountain village is Uncle Zhao's own brother, the family was poor at the beginning, and his brothers were looking forward to the situation day and night.
"My brother will also have a hard life, he was not a pig killer in the first place. The daughter-in-law who married before was weak and weak, and after giving birth to a daughter, she held the medicine jar all day long to continue her life. My brother was digging in the dirt at that time, and we were just doing some rough work for people to get by, and even if we helped, we couldn't help much. Everyone advised him to treat my poor brother and sister, it was a bottomless pit, but he didn't listen, so he decided that as long as people lived, they would be saved. ”
That's it, the rest of the money that the family has saved is gone. Even the land was sold cheaply, but in the end, his daughter-in-law was not saved.
After that, he dragged his daughter to grow up by himself. Life is very difficult, not to mention having a full meal, even drinking some rice porridge is difficult to get to heaven.
"Once he heard that the pig slaughterer had no one to do, but he could earn money and eat meat, so he entrusted the child to us, and he became a butcher with his own strength." Although how many years have passed, Aunt Mei can't help but sigh sadly when she mentions the past, "Life is better now, but he is a butcher who sees blood every day, and sometimes he helps carry the corpse in the yamen, but the daughters of good families are not happy to marry her even if they are divorced." ”
As for those who coveted his family's conditions, most of them asked him when he would send his daughter out of the door as soon as they saw him. also said that the fifteen or sixteen daughters should have been looking for their mother-in-law's house a long time ago, and it is not a matter of consuming it all the time.
But whenever he says that he wants to find a good one for his daughter, the matchmaker who says that he is close will muttered about his background and what good family he can marry. But as long as there are people who don't dislike it, it's good.
After a long time, he didn't have the heart to marry another mother-in-law. As for the girl, she was delayed at home.
Saying this, Uncle Zhao took a string of copper plates into the backyard, and he was followed by a vendor with a burden and a rattle in his hand.
When he walked to the front, Uncle Zhao happily pointed to the seller next to him and said to Lin Baoru: "Just now I went to the counter to get something, and I saw Li Lang knocking on the door, thinking that you didn't say that you planned to let the seller help sell things, so I took it upon myself to call someone back for you." ”
"You are also afraid, you can talk to him as much as you want. Li Lang is also a well-known filial son in our town, and he is a reliable person who will not pit you. ”
After the Wang family on the side saw the person who came, he said with some surprise: "Alas, aren't you a merchant who often goes to our Taoxi Village to sell things?" I haven't seen you go a few times in the moon, and we still don't want you to do this business. ”
Li Lang saw the familiar one, and said with a smile: "How can you not do it, this business is not big, but it is better to be flexible." On weekdays, if my mother has anything to deal with, I can stay at home for a day or two. A few years ago, my mother had a wind, and I lay down for a few days, but I didn't catch up with the villages to sell goods. ”
"But now that it's the New Year, I can go to Taoxi Village often."
Wang and Aunt Mei heard that his mother was sick, and hurriedly asked, "Then your mother's body is refreshing?" ”
Li Langlang sighed, put down the burden, and said: "How can it be so good, in the end, it is old, and it is not possible to get better in three or five days if you are sick, and you can keep it." I was also about to be unable to open the pot at home, so I discussed with the neighbors to let people help me look at my mother, so I grabbed the vacancy and sold something. ”
No matter how much, at least there is an income that can support the family's food and drink.
Li Lang saw that the atmosphere was depressed because of his words, and hurriedly found a way to talk and said, "Speaking of which, I still have some relatives with Grandpa Li's family in your village." There are also needlework items made by several sisters-in-law in your village, which I helped sell. ”
Speaking of this, Wang was a little surprised, "It turns out that you are related to Grandpa Li, no wonder every time you go back, you help Grandpa Li work." As she spoke, she looked at her daughter and explained, "Our village knows that Li Lang is honest and warm-hearted. I used to think that he only helped because of Grandpa Li's pity, but it turned out that the two families still had this relationship, so it was not easy. ”
With these words, Lin Baoru felt that looking at the somewhat sleek Li Lang was really much more reliable than the shopkeeper Sun who was kind on his face and hidden in his heart.
Not to mention anything else, there are Uncle Zhao and Aunt Mei's praise, as well as the words of the Niang Prince, plus Li Xianglang often walks in Taoxi Village, so he doesn't think he will be unconscionable.
Li Shanglang didn't know that today's business was to talk to Lin Baoru, who hadn't said a word yet, and after a few words of greeting with the Wang family, he asked a little puzzled: "Auntie, I just heard Uncle Zhao say that you have good objects, why don't you let me take a look first?" ”
"If it's needlework, I'm persuading my aunt to sell it in a few days. Now in the slack time, the sisters-in-law and eldest sisters of each family are idle at home, and there are many embroidery jobs, so they can't sell it at a price now. Li Shanglang didn't say anything about it, it wasn't that he didn't think that the Wang family had good things next to him, it was really the peasant women looking for him to sell goods, most of them were small things like purse patterns.
After saying this for a while, Wang's temperament also let go a little. Left and right are not the masters who look down on people, and they are naturally much more comfortable when they talk.
Wang shook his head with a smile, pointed to his daughter with a smile and said, "It's really not that I want to sell things with you today, it's my girl who wants you to help take a look." ”
Although it is a big deal to pay attention to men and women these days, it will not reach the point where you can't see foreign men. The farmer in the fence yard has a much more important task of filling his stomach than the poor and elaborate rules.
So Lin Baoru, who was named, took a step forward generously, said hello to people with a smile, and then handed over a piece of soap beans in the basket.
This time, Lin Baoru didn't need to say more about herself, the enthusiastic Aunt Mei on the side had already crackled and made the matter of soap beans clear.
"Look at my hand, after a few days of using the soap beans, they are much whiter and tenderer." Aunt Mei didn't speak on the side of Lin Baoru, she really didn't look down on the person who came to the grocery store, so she was very happy to introduce her business to others.
Besides, this matter is just a few words, open your mouth to explain it clearly, let people get a certificate, and it will take no effort to make up for it.
Aunt Mei said, and couldn't help but spit on the incident at the grocery store. It's just that when Li Xianglang heard that this thing was actually sold to Shunlai grocery store, he couldn't help but hesitate, he was walking the streets, but he was also afraid of getting into trouble.
After all, when I came to the grocery store to sue the daughter-in-law who fled the Zhang family for stealing the recipe, there was a lot of uproar. But as long as they have some livelihood, they all know that the Zhang family and those merchants who entered the tea with the Zhang family lost a lot at that time.
If you come to the grocery store and get into such a shameless trouble, it will be troublesome.
Aunt Mei saw that Li Xianglang was a little hesitant, and her heart sank, and she regretted that she had just leaked her mouth. She looked at Wang and Lin Baoru apologetically, but it was not good to say anything more.
However, Lin Baoru was not timid, she also understood Li Lang's worries, but Lin Baoru didn't care about what they were worried about.
She smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't refuse yet, you can take a look at the soap beans I brought today." After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Aunt Mei and asked, "Auntie, do you still have any spare soap beans that my uncle bought a few years ago?" ”
Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "There are still some more, that thing is easy to use, I save it." ”
With that, she went back to the kitchen to get it. When she was about to leave the kitchen, she remembered that her old man had said that the girl had used a basin of water for him to try. So, looking at Aunt Mei, who was actually very careful, she scooped a scoop of warm water and brought out the wooden basin.
Lin Baoru glanced at Aunt Mei gratefully, and then borrowed the oil-stained apron that Aunt Mei was wearing.
She picked out an obvious piece of oil and wet it, then took out her freshly made soap beans and scrubbed them on top. Although the water changes slightly, it is not turbid at all. The point is, the oil stain is actually half lighter.
Then, she took the piece mixed with plant ash that Aunt Mei used before, although it also had the effect of removing oil, but the water in the basin was very muddy and ugly.
Li Lang was stunned for a long time, and then stared at him and said, "My good man, it's so easy to use." ”
