Chapter 46: Changes in the Zhuangzi
Qin Xiangquan didn't see it, no matter how she calculated, Qin Xiang would not let her take advantage.
There was such a fuss in the morning, and after everyone dispersed, Qin Xiang glanced at the sky, and finally remembered that the two small groups had to go to the academy today, and if they didn't leave, they would be late.
"Hurry up and pack up, don't be too late to go to the academy!"
Han Yunxiao nodded, and followed Qin Xiang into the courtyard quickly.
After waking up the two little dumplings and urging them to wash up, Han Yunxiao personally sent the two small dumplings to the county.
When Qin Xiang packed up and went out, he saw an old doctor just walking out of the courtyard of Liu's sister-in-law's house.
Sister Liu nodded busily beside her, and the two walked past Qin Xiang, and no one said a word.
Qin Xiangle ignored Sister Liu, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the county seat with her things, completely ignoring that Sister Liu stared at her resentful eyes the moment she turned around.
After entering the county seat, Qin Xiang hurriedly set up the stall and brought fried chicken to the diners who had been waiting for a long time, and in less than two hours, the chicken, fried chicken and fried potatoes were all sold.
"Qin Xiang, you scared us! I heard that when someone in your village fried chicken this morning, they were burned in the face by the oil and were disfigured. We thought it was you, but we didn't think that there were other people in your village who were doing fried chicken. ”
At this time, Tie Niu came over with a cart and stared at Qin Xiang with a happy face.
"It's my neighbor who secretly learned how to fry my chicken, but she accidentally hurt her face with oil, and her eldest sister made a fuss this morning."
Qin Xiang smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really couldn't underestimate the gossip ability of the ancient people, it was only one morning, and such a little thing was spreading.
"I've heard that the family wanted to borrow money from you for medical treatment, but you didn't lend it to her."
The mouthy mother-in-law next to her spoke again, turning her head to look at Qin Xiang suspiciously.
Qin Xiang straightened his waist, beckoned Tie Niu to wait for a while, and then told the people who were setting up stalls around him what happened in the morning.
These people were all stunned when they heard this, and the mouthy mother-in-law couldn't help but scold: "This person is really shameless, stealing other people's crafts, and asking others to give her money to see a doctor." Being a neighbor with her is really bad for eight lifetimes. ”
"Your old wife didn't understand after listening to it for a long time, where do they ask for medical expenses, this is obviously Qin Xiang's craftsmanship to make money, and they want to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money."
The vendor who set up a stall to sell chaos next to him smiled and said with disdain on his face.
Everyone sighed for a while, but business gradually improved near noon, and they didn't have time to chat.
"If you run out of things, why don't you go to Zhuangzi with me, and we can reconcile the accounts, I have gone into the county to sell chickens several times these days, and I have also made some silver."
At this time, Tie Niu, who had been silent, said with a smile when he saw that Qin Xiang's things were sold out.
Qin Xiang didn't plan to let them sell the chickens so early, but then he heard that there were more and more chickens in the chicken coop, and the chicken coop that he had originally built was almost insufficient.
She asked them to take out the chickens and sell them, never thinking that her chickens were still selling well.
"Okay, then let's close the stall."
Qin Xiang nodded, hurriedly packed up his things, and followed Tie Niu all the way towards Zhuangzi.
When she arrived at Zhuangzi, Qin Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, she had been annoyed by the Han family during this time, and she had to be busy with the fried chicken business, plus on weekdays, Cui Niang or Chunmei sent the chicken to her house.
Therefore, she has not been to Zhuangzi for a while, and now the changes in Zhuangzi have surprised her.
She remembers coming a few times before, just clearing the house and the coop of weeds.
But now that she saw that the entire Zhuangzi had changed, if it weren't for Tie Niu still following her, she would have suspected that she had gone to the wrong place.
The whole Zhuangzi is divided into two parts, one part is the place where chickens are raised and people live, and several big black dogs lie next to the chicken coop, basking in the sun leisurely.
Across the river, there is a large vegetable patch, in which a piece of greens is specially planted.
The rest of the place was used to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and the like, which looked like the masterpiece of the three of them.
"It's a good job, even if I am allowed to plant, I can't grow so well."
Although Qin Xiang was humble, she was really happy in her heart, she really didn't expect that the two people she bought back casually were so reliable.
"There is a river in this village, which is very convenient for irrigation, and it is good if the water is enough for the crops to grow."
Tie Niu Han smiled and scratched his head, and couldn't help blushing a little.
Chunmei had said before that Qin Xiang was a person who knew a lot, and Tie Niu felt a little embarrassed to be praised by her.
Qin Xiang looked at Zhuangzi who was so angry, and the depression that had accumulated in his heart in the morning also dissipated a lot.
She hurriedly said hello to the other two, and was called by Chunmei to look at the account book.
"Tie Niu, you go one more trip, go buy some salt and come back, I'll take it to give a gift later."
Qin Xiang suddenly thought of something at this time, and hurriedly spoke.
Tie Niu didn't know who Qin Xiang was going to give a gift, but after receiving the silver, he still bought as much salt as he could.
Anyway, even if Qin Xiang doesn't use it that much, they will use it in Zhuangzi.
After Tie Niu left, Qin Xiang checked all the accounts on Zhuangzi during this period and found that the accounts were very clear, and the income and expenditure were clearly written.
In such a short period of time, he actually earned five taels of silver, which is indeed a good income.
"We don't have any shops in the county, we can only sell chickens to those shops, how do you make so much money?"
Qin Xiang was a little curious, and hurriedly asked.
"Our chickens eat on weekdays, all of which are small fish and shrimp in the river, and then mixed with these forages to eat, so they grow very well, and some people rush to buy them in the county."
Chunmei smiled, Qin Xiang hadn't noticed it before, but now when he saw her again, he found that she had gained a lot of weight.
"That's fine, if you don't have enough manpower, just tell me, and I'll make up a few more for you."
Qin Xiang saw that everything in Zhuangzi was taken care of well, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly spoke.
"If there are three in this village, it's enough, and there is no need to hire others."
Chunmei shook her head and looked at Cui Niang with a smile, and Cui Niang couldn't stop nodding.
She thinks this is very good, and when she was at home before, she was often mistreated by her mother-in-law, not to mention that she couldn't eat enough, and she was afraid of being driven to the street.
Now in Zhuangzi, although life is a little harder, her mood is much better, and the owner is kind, she feels that she has settled in the second half of her life.
The three of them chatted for a while, and after more than an hour, Tie Niu came back with a large bag of salt.
Qin Xiang hurriedly asked Chunmei and Cui Niang to help catch four chickens, and asked Tie Niu to divide the salt into four parts, so she let Tie Niu carry the salt, and she took the chicken and walked towards the village.
When she quarreled with Sister Liu before, four families helped her talk.
When so many villagers forced themselves to give Sister Liu money, these four families could still stand on their side, and Qin Xiang felt very grateful.
Since people have helped themselves, it is normal to give some gifts as a gift.
What's more, since crossing here, Qin Xiang only discovered that Han Yunxiao's family was like an isolated island in this village.
It seems that there are very few people who come and go with their family, Han Yunfeng doesn't count, the people who are looking for him are just here to change the law and fight the autumn wind.
Therefore, Qin Xiang felt that it was necessary to use this to manage his contacts, after all, they still wanted to live in this village, and they couldn't have no contact with anyone.
Qin Xiang got out of Zhuangzi and rushed to the door of a family surnamed Han first, this is Han Yunxiao's own family, but the two families have already come out of five suits.
She doesn't interact much on weekdays, she just knows that the family is more upright and prosperous.
There are more than 10 people in the family, and three generations have lived together and have not separated.
It was the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the family who helped her speak before, and after the others opened the door, Qin Xiang hurriedly explained his intention.
It was the daughter-in-law of their third room who opened the door, she nodded after hearing this, and beckoned Qin Xiang and Tie Niu to enter the door.
Qin Xiang directly rushed to their old lady's room with Tie Niu, and after a few more words of thanks, he put down a chicken and a portion of salt.
The old lady originally had a stiff face, but when she saw that Qin Xiang was here to give gifts and gave so much salt, her eyes narrowed with a smile.
He kept smiling and saying that he would let Qin Xiang come and sit down when he was free, Qin Xiang hurriedly said a few polite words, greeted him for two quarters of an hour, and hurriedly said goodbye.
Then she sent the gifts to three other houses, and when she learned about the third, she realized that only one widow lived in them.
This widow's name is Lin Qingmiao, and she used to marry into the village, and not long after she married, her husband passed away.
But this one is also a tough one, and he kept the dowry and the house and lived on his own.
She was also the first person to think about Qin Xiang in the morning, Qin Xiang knew that she had a hard life, and hurriedly sent the chicken and salt over.
"I'm here to thank you for helping me talk in the morning, this bit of salt and this chicken are a thank you gift."
Qin Xiang smiled at Lin Qingmiao and pointed to the chicken on the ground and said.
"I think it cost a lot of money to have so much salt, so don't break the bank in the future, it's just a few words."
Lin Qingmiao's face couldn't see happiness or displeasure, and he always looked bland.
"Then what's the matter, you helped me, naturally you deserve this gift, and the other three families have also accepted my gift, if you don't receive it here, will it be difficult to look down on me?"
"Where would I look down on you? Is there a woman in this village who is more capable than you now? I envy you that it's too late. ”
Lin Qingmiao smiled, her eyes were a little gentle, she saw that Qin Xiang was really kind, not to see her jokes.
"I'm also quite satisfied with my life now, and if I have time to sit with me in the future, I don't have anything to do except sell fried chicken."
Qin Xiang patted Lin Qingmiao's hand, and her hand was a little rough, thinking that she was often tired from doing rough work, and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful.
The two were chatting when they heard a commotion outside, and Tie Niu walked towards the door with some curiosity, wanting to see what was going on.
