Chapter 351: Silk
"Wu Wen always thinks about our family, and he is not empty-handed every time he celebrates the New Year." Hanjuan said with some emotion.
"It's not, but our family used to be difficult, and I wanted to get something for them, but I didn't, but now I am rich, and I always take so many gifts, and I can't help it." Ho said.
"Mother, Brother Wu is already gone, and you can't catch up if you want to. Don't worry, why don't you go to Aunt He's house tomorrow and get some gifts? Qingwan said immediately. Thinking of the cherry blossom thing she talked about when she went to the city with the He family last time, she was even more reluctant to get involved.
"You're right." He Shi thought about it, nodded, but said meaningfully: "But for so many years, the Li family has taken care of us, and this love cannot be repaid once or twice." ”
"Then pay it back slowly," Qingwan heard it, but pretended not to know, and diverted the topic: "Mother! You see, this is the money we earn today, and you can keep it for us. ”
He Shi opened the bag and looked at it, and was a little stunned for a while: "Ten taels? ”
"Yes, mother, you go into the house and speak slowly." Qingwan helped her mother to walk inside: "Don't you see, don't look at the first day, business is very good, we are all busy with our feet not touching the ground, and the big green leaves we brought are not enough to sell, and we will have to pick more tomorrow!" ”
"I really didn't expect that," He Shi also smiled from ear to ear: "This herb can still make so much money." It's just that you don't have to be too tired, if you get more tomorrow, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it. ”
"It's okay," Qingwan took the warm water handed by her mother and drank most of the cup in one go, "We are young, what are you tired of?" I am glad in my heart! Besides, this business waits for no one, and after a few days, it can't be sold, so you have to hurry up and take advantage of this hot time to sell more. ”
"It's all going well, right? There's nothing to make things difficult for guests, right? He said worriedly.
The sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and when they got out of the car just now, they discussed it again, whether to tell their mother about the scene of Sun Wu, Hanjuan began to advocate not to say it, for fear that her mother would worry, Qingjuan thought about it for a while, and felt that she still had to say it, and she didn't want to hide Lu Yanyi's affairs, so she decided that everything that happened during the day would be told in 1510.
Qing Wan said everything that Wu Langzhong had left, including it. Hearing this, He Shi was frightened: "I said that setting up a stall is not so easy, right?" Fortunately, this is the son of Lu who helps, otherwise, how can you children deal with those scoundrels? ”
Hanguang looked excited: "With Brother Lu here, there is no need to worry about it in the future, no one dares to trouble us anymore!" ”
He Shi's face was not happy, but looked worried: "This Lu Gongzi is naturally kind, but we are small families, and it is still difficult to use them every day, and we owe so much to others in the future, what can we pay back?" Fang'er, try not to trouble others in the future. ”
"Mother, I know, that's all, I also made it clear to him, and I will naturally pay it back in the future." Qing Wan answered.
"But my mother is still unstable." He Shi paused for a moment, and then said: "Since the stall has been opened and the silver has been spent, naturally it can't be stopped." But after these three months, let's take the stall. Or do you honestly plant our land, isn't it much more abundant now than before? My mother is also content. ”
Qingwan knew the meaning of the words: "I can control everything well, don't worry." ”
"Tomorrow will be August 14," He Shi changed his words, "In the evening, you accompany your mother to your aunt He's house, and take some things, even if it is less, it is also a heart, don't let people think that our family has no favor." ”
"Hey, okay." It's not that Qingwan doesn't know the meaning of Wu Wen's family, but she naturally understands the meaning of He's words, so when it comes to letting her go with her, she is still a little uncomfortable.
He Shi felt more down-to-earth at this time, and then sighed and said: "Your Uncle Wu is also a good person, for so many years, every time anyone in the family is sick, he will go to the countryside to see it rain or shine, and if he can't get the money, he will give us credit first." Even if you spend money, you have to charge less than 180 yuan. Even the other families in the village have received more favors. Now, I don't know when we will meet again. At such an age, it's not easy to run around outside. ”
"Uncle Wu said that his wish is to help the world and save people," Qingwan took out the book, "Maybe this time he can save a lot of people." ”
"Who are you talking about?"
When the door curtain rang, it was Qing Boding and his son who came back, and Qingwan and several of them ran to their father, picking up tools and pouring tea.
"I'm talking about her Uncle Wu." He told everything in the city, and Qing Boding also heard it with a burst of joy, a burst of sadness, and a moment of fear: "How else to say that the city is complicated?" Croppers, let's keep how big the bowl is and how big the rice is. ”
This pair of bun fathers and mothers are too timid, if they continue like this, when will they be able to turn over this day? Qingwan muttered to herself, "It's okay, isn't this coming?" Behold, this is the silver we have earned today, which is a hundred taels. ”
Qing Boding took it: "It's important to make money, but you have to be careful everywhere, it's not a joke." ”
"Yes." Qingwan said coquettishly, "Dad, our stomachs are already growling, let's hurry up and eat." ”
"Yes, yes," He Shi hurriedly served the food on the table, "The big guys are tired, I scrambled eggs, cut ducks, cooked mung bean porridge, wash your hands and eat." ”
"Mother, you haven't been in good shape, how can you be so tired? We'll come back tomorrow by buying some ready-made ones in town. Qingwan said.
"It's okay, my mother is not tired of doing this," He said, "just go down and stir-fry." It's not easy to make money, and the things you buy are expensive, so it's better to save some. ”
Qingwan felt sour in her heart: "Our family's life will definitely get better and better." As long as you are willing to work, you are still worried about not making money? ”
"You children are all good, and my mother won't ask for anything." He brought the dishes up, served the porridge with a clear silk, Hanguan took the dishes and chopsticks, and the family finished the meal with a smile. Qingwan hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. There was still one dose of the medicine left, and I told my father and mother to drink it, and then I went to wash and rest.
Qingwan put the pharmacopoeia in the drawer first, and then lay down on the bed. He closed his eyes, stroked the Cui Pei on his chest, and entered the space again.
She drank some water to replenish her strength, and when she came to the edge of the field, she was immediately overjoyed: in this magical space, a lush green leaf had grown!
She hurriedly found a bag, easily plucked all these big green leaves, and put them in the bag. I watered the fields again, and when I saw that it was still early, I planned to go into the house and read a book.
As soon as she entered, she was surprised to find that there was a snow-white Hangzhou silk on the desk. There are also two lockets next to them.
Why did this thing suddenly appear? Qingwan walked over curiously, picked it up and looked at it carefully, it was no different from ordinary Baihang silk, but there were two traces of fat powder at the innermost end of the folding.
The same red is pomegranate rouge, and the same is the cheapest white lead powder, both of which are only a little stained, and on this flawless white Hangzhou silk, it looks particularly dazzling.
What's going on? What is the meaning of a stained white Hangzhou silk appearing here? Qingwan thought about it and opened the two small boxes, which contained these two kinds of fat powder.
She pondered for a long time, but she didn't figure it out, so she simply put them back in their place and ignored them again.
After picking out useful books and reading them for a while, I got out of the space, put the bag in the corner of the wall, and prepared it to be used tomorrow, and then fell asleep contentedly.
Early the next morning, Hanjuan also woke up: "I'll go with you to pick big green leaves!" ”
"Eldest sister, you better stay at home and help your mother cook. Just me and my second brother. Yesterday, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sell out, so I didn't dare to pick more, but I wasn't tired at all. Qingwan refused.
After thinking about it, what the second sister said was reasonable, so she had to agree: "That's okay, I'll stay and cook, and you guys should be careful." ”
"It's not the first time I've been there, what are you afraid of?" Qingwan still took the basket and went up the mountain with her younger brother.
Although he said so, it was a rhetoric to let the eldest sister stay, in fact, after picking a few baskets, the waist was not stretched, the sister and brother were still tired enough, looking at the herbs that were twice as many as yesterday, Qingwan calculated: "Okay, you can't cook it if you have more, these are enough to sell until the evening." ”
"Okay." Although Hanguang was still reluctant to let go, the second sister always urged him, so he had to follow down the mountain: "I'll come early tomorrow!" ”
"Don't get greedy." Qingwan said a little funny: "There is only one pot on the stall, can you cook ten baskets?" That's enough for us to keep us busy. ”
Hanguang stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, and the two hurried home. Breakfast was already on the table, and after eating, the three siblings hurriedly hitched a carriage and went into the city again.
Today is much more skilled than yesterday, but the guests are also from the beginning of the stall in an endless stream, in addition to yesterday's old guests, there are also a lot of new tasters, a small stall is crowded.
Qingwan calculated: "There are two stoves here, but there is only one pot, if you add one more, it can be twice as fast, you have to find a way to get another pot quickly." ”
"Then you'll have to find a blacksmith to buy it." Hanjuan said, "But we don't know where the blacksmith shop in this city is, and we have to look for it for a while." ”
"If only I could find out." Before Qingwan finished speaking, he was called away by the guests who were waiting to buy it, and he didn't have time to discuss it again.
Approaching lunch time, there are more and more guests, surrounding a small stall through the wind and rain, Qingwan is afraid of making mistakes in her busyness, thinking that medicine is the most important, so she asked Hanjuan to help collect money and serve tea, looking at the fire on the stove, she didn't dare to leave at all. Hanjuan and Hanguang didn't touch the ground, but they were also anxious.
"Ten cups of medicinal drinks, pack them and take them away!" A crisp male voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey, wait a minute, it's coming." Hanjuan promised in her mouth, and when she looked up, she was so shocked that several tea bowls in her hand were broken: "It's you?" ”
