CHAPTER XVIII
Even though Xie Zhan's attitude made Mingxiu not so happy, she still listened to her words.
All she wants now is to make her life a little better, and it is very tempting to make a lot of money, but it has to be kept by her own family.
Mingxiu lowered her eyes, secretly thinking about who she could give this method to in exchange for benefits.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, you only need to pack up other things and take them to the town to sell, and find a chance to find out what the reputation of the county order is, if you are a good person, you can give him this credit."
"Ke county order...... I can't give a lot of money, right? ”
Father Ming cautiously interjected, in his opinion, Tubao Village has lived a good life for many years, and there are no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the county order should be a clean official.
How much silver can a Qing official have? Even if the other party has a heart, they can't get any benefit.
"Now the silver in our hands is not very expensive, it is enough." Mingxiu thought about it and understood Xie Zhan's unfinished meaning, "If the county magistrate remembers our goodness, then our family will have a backer in the future, and life will be better." ”
Now the villagers of Tubao Village do not take the Ming family in their eyes, they treat the Ming family as a soft persimmon that everyone can step on, why?
It's nothing more than because Ming's father and mother have no children, and the only daughter of the two was a fool in her early years, and there were no relatives and friends, of course, this also has a lot to do with the softness of the two.
Everyone thinks that the Ming family is like this in this life, and after Mingxiu gets married, the Ming family is also out of the house, so they dare to be embarrassed unscrupulously, but if there is anything good in the Ming family, someone will try to get it over.
But what if their family has a friendship with the county order, or even has kindness to the county order?
The emperor of Tubao Village is far away, and the county order is the emperor of the soil here, and he is the most powerful person here, with him to take care of him, even if he doesn't do anything, just borrow his name, the life of the Ming family can be much better.
Ming's mother nodded again and again, "What Xiu'er said is that as long as there is enough food and clothing, where do we have so many places to use silver?" ”
She is not greedy, and even a little courageous, when Xie Zhanming said what is the use of this chili pepper, she faintly had a plan to hand it over in her heart, and now Mingxiu discussed a feasible plan with Xie Zhan, listening to it It can still be of great benefit to her own family, where does she have a reason to refuse?
With the approval of Ming's mother, Mingxiu can be regarded as relieved.
She loves money, but she also knows the importance of it, and now she is bent on planning for the family, and if her parents blame her for the money, she would rather not find it.
"Let's go to the town tomorrow to set up a stall, and by the way, find out about the situation of the county magistrate."
Mingxiu lowered her eyes slightly, she was just a peasant girl now, if she wanted to see the county order, she was afraid that it would be a little difficult, she couldn't help but put her eyes on Xie Zhan.
Since this person can put forward this plan, there should be a way to see the county order.
What is he?
Mingxiu didn't ask at all, but after he came down, he packed up the things he was going to take to the town to sell with Ming's father and mother and put them on the cart first.
After weighing the weight of the cart and the way to the town, Mingxiu secretly decided in his heart that he would definitely buy an ox cart back after the house was repaired.
If it works to set up a stall in the town, they will definitely have to go to the town often in the future, relying on Ming's father's manpower alone is not a thing, although Ming's father has strength, but after all, he is also an old man, if he is made so hard, Mingxiu will not be able to go.
"This is your first time in town to set up a stall, right?"
Mingxiu found a place, and after taking Ming's father and mother to lay out the stall, the mother-in-law who was selling vegetables next to her came forward to talk.
"You're late, all the good places are occupied, and I'm afraid there isn't much business here."
Looking at Mingxiu's appearance, you know that they get up early in the morning and hurry, but they get up early, and the morning market in the town opens earlier.
Mingxiu also realized that there was something wrong with him, and coughed lightly with some embarrassment, "I thought we came early enough......"
Seeing Mingxiu's appearance, the mother-in-law smiled kindly, "It's okay, everything has a first time, it's too late to come back, and I will know when I will come forward next time." ”
Her gaze fell on the Ming family's stall, "Are you selling wild vegetables?" ”
Although she has been talking to Mingxiu all the time, her eyes are looking at Ming's father, and it is obvious that Ming's father is the one who is in charge of this family.
Ming's father was a little embarrassed, and his eyes for help fell on Mingxiu.
"When we went up the mountain, we found some fresh wild vegetables and wild fruits, and I tasted them and thought they were good, and I asked the doctor to make sure they were not poisonous before I dared to sell them."
Mingxiu smiled and took a plump apple from the basket for the mother-in-law to taste.
"This is what Dr. Zou has checked to make sure that it is not poisonous, can you taste it?"
Dr. Zou is very famous in the town, and as soon as the mother-in-law heard that Dr. Zou had checked it, most of the original hesitation about this fruit suddenly dissipated, thinking that she and Mingxiu Pingshui met, and the two had no grudges, plus they were going to sell this thing, it should not be poisonous.
After a moment's hesitation, he took it.
"How embarrassing it is."
Mingxiu didn't care, "You also know, this fruit is rare, many people haven't seen it and don't know it, if you taste it, if you taste it, you can also help recommend one or two when you come to the door." ”
She didn't hide her purpose, because of this apple before, Aunt Niu also came up to find trouble, although you may not be able to meet people from Tubao Village in the town, but if someone can vouch for it, it is always a good thing.
The mother-in-law obviously knows this kind of thing, and when she saw Mingxiu say it so frankly, not only was she not unhappy, but she also had a little appreciation for this little girl.
"Good little girl, big brother is blessed."
It's a good thing that her daughter was praised, and Ming's father scratched his head innocently, "You're polite." ”
Ming's mother was also happy, when she wasn't bullied, Ming's mother was still clear-headed, she glanced at Mingxiu with disgust, "Auntie, don't praise her, otherwise this girl's tail will go up to the sky." ”
Seeing that they were chatting, Mingxiu only smiled shyly and stood in front of the stall waiting for the guests to arrive.
At this time, it was the busiest time in the town, and although no one had patronized it yet, Mingxiu was not in a hurry.
The sun gradually became fierce, and the old woman drank the water she brought, and hesitantly took a bite of the apple given by Mingxiu.
"This fruit is really delicious, how are you going to sell it?" Her stall has gradually bottomed out, and when it was time to go back, she saw that the Ming family's stall had not yet opened, and she wanted to take care of it, of course, because the fruit was really good.
"It was originally set for two pennies, if you like it, just take two and go back and try it." Mingxiu stopped Ming's mother's words and said to the old woman with a smile.
"I'm embarrassed to eat one of the things you use to sell for money, where can I let you give it for nothing?" The old woman shook her head, although she also likes to get cheap on weekdays, but it is also a good score.
