Chapter 14: Something Happened Again

"When I went out in the afternoon, I heard Xiong San say that you owe him another twenty taels."

"What?" Shen Zhao'er was originally distressed about the two ribs that were stepped on by Shen Wan'er, and she was shocked and angry when she heard this, "Twenty taels?!" ”

Last time, it was only ten taels of silver, Xiong San wanted to drag the two sisters to sell them, and now it is twenty taels of silver, wouldn't it be necessary to sell them even with Shen Da?

Shen Da's originally high anger instantly fell, and he stammered and dodged, not daring to look at Shen Wan'er's eyes, "I was framed, I didn't borrow money at all......"

Just when he and I wanted to borrow money, Xiong San came, so I didn't have time at all.

"Then you say, is this IOU real? Have you ever pressed your mudras? ”

"I was caught and my handprints were pressed!"

"Who believes it, even if you go to the yamen, no one will believe it, your white and black letters are clearly written, and you have put your handprint on it, even if it is the yamen, it will only make you pay back!"

Shen Wan'er gritted her teeth, "You don't have the money to pay it back, maybe the adults will make the decision to sell our sisters to pay off the debt, you can't get used to our sisters like this, don't you?" ”

"I didn't, I didn't, I just ......" He just couldn't help it, and his hands itched and wanted to bet on two.

"This is the last time, don't think about me making you food in the next few days, you can't do the same work, otherwise there will be no porridge!"

She looked at the ribs on the ground, "You can wash the bowl." ”

Yesterday, I lost my temper, and finally shocked Shen Da, and when I was about to go out, Shen Da quietly glanced at her, and when I saw Shen Wan'er's suddenly sinking face, her mood was low.

"Zhao'er, your sister is really angry this time."

"How can you not be angry?" Shen Zhao'er wrinkled her brows, she didn't sleep well last night because of twenty taels of silver, and her eyes were still a little red now, "You just listen to Wan'er, don't gamble anymore, can't we live a good life as a family?" ”

Shen Da looked at Shen Zhao'er's sobbing expression, and his lips squirmed, "I ......"

He gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, I will never go out to gamble in the future!" ”

I don't know how much silver Shen Wan'er still has, whether it is enough to repay the twenty taels of money.

Today is the day when the store opens, and Shen Wan'er went out a little late.

The incense is all over the city, this is the name of the store, and before you get closer, you can hear a guy at the door shouting loudly, holding a piece of incense in his hand, and smelling it to passers-by one by one, there are already a lot of people in the store, looking at this appearance, it is a good start.

"Girl, go in and see our fragrant sister-in-law in the city, it's definitely easy to use, the girl's skin is so good, if you use our fragrant sister-in-law, it will definitely be better!"

Only the shopkeeper and his son and daughter-in-law knew Shen Wan'er in the store, and the other guys didn't know each other, Shen Wan'er looked inside, and finally shook her head.

When the guy saw that Shen Wan'er didn't want to go in, he didn't pester him, but shouted again.

The quality of the fragrant girl is good, the taste is also very fragrant, and the packaging has never been seen before, so it sold a lot on the first day.

Xiong San looked at the account book in the room, he was stupid and didn't know how to calculate accounts, so he specially invited a trustworthy bookkeeper to calculate the costs that he had written down before.

A piece of incense sells for 600 wen, excluding the cost, and can net about 350 wen!

And today, a few hundred yuan was sold, roughly calculated, today's net profit for a day, Xiong San is not calm.

He is a money-loving man, and he is also doing other businesses, but he has never made so much money in a day like he does now!

Sold so much in just one day, so ......

Thinking of the money that would roll in in the future, Xiong San was so excited that his hands began to tremble.

This time, it was as good as Xiong San and Shen Wan'er imagined, and even better than they imagined.

In just half a month, even some people in Peony Village began to buy Aunt Xiangzi, especially the Lizheng family, I heard that they bought all the fragrances of Aunt Xiangzi, but they couldn't envy others.

Lin Wan'er also took a few pieces home, and it was really good to use.

When it is the hottest time in summer, except for those in the village who can't afford it, everyone else has more or less a piece or a few pieces of fragrant sister-in-law.

"I heard that there are still people in the city who go out of their way to buy it, I really envy Xiong San, and I don't know where I found this fragrant sister-in-law's recipe, I must have made a lot of money now."

It was already dark, and some people gathered at the door of some houses who were enjoying the shade, talking about the shortness of homely things.

After a busy day, Shen Wan'er would occasionally move a stool over, and most of the time she didn't open her mouth to listen to them talk about some village gossip.

Whose son was bitten by a snake when he went up the mountain, and whose daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, looking at the round belly like a son, but he likes to eat sour, a few people argued because of this, and in the end there was no result.

I don't know who mentioned that they went home to bathe with their sister-in-law, and their topic shifted to the incense in the town.

"Originally, Xiong San was the richest person in our Peony Village, but now I am afraid that it will not be less, and it is estimated that he will go to the city to buy a house in the future."

"In the city?" Someone's voice was full of envy, "The houses in the city are not cheap, I don't want to say that I can buy a house in the city, make a little more money, and repair my own house." ”

"Even if you want to open a store, you don't have that money, didn't Dawang's family open a store a few years ago? In the end, it's not a loss, let's forget it! ”

Dawang is a relatively literate person in the whole Peony Village, although he didn't get into the Xiucai, but he also read some books, which is much better than some people who don't know a single word.

He used to work as a bookkeeper in a restaurant in the city, saved some money, and then wanted to open his own store, but the store closed in only a year or two.

The cultural people in the village open a store in the end as a result of losing money, not to mention other people, and most of the people in Peony Village are very poor, how can they have the capital to open a store.

Shen Wan'er and Xiong San split the account fifty-fifty, Xiong San made a lot of money, and Shen Wan'er also had a lot, if this continued, in a few months, she could buy a house in the city.

It's just that it can't just sell incense sister-in-law, and during this time, she prepared a balm again, and blended it into several flavors, which must also sell well.

As the night slowly deepened, and everyone dispersed, Shen Wan'er heard Shen Da's snoring before she could get home and even set foot in the door.

These days, Shen Da was forced by Shen Wan'er to work in the field, and he was reluctant to scold at first, but now he complains very little, but he is still lazy from time to time, and he is an improvement compared to before.

When I returned to the room, I took off the veil on my face, looked carefully at the bronze mirror, looked at my face, and found that the birthmark had faded a little, but it was not very obvious, and it was still effective.

If this continues, it will only take a year or two at most, and the birthmark on her face will disappear completely, and she will only be fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, which is not too big.

After heavy rain, the leaves on the trees are exceptionally green.

Fortunately, a month ago, Shen Wan'er found someone to renovate the family's house, so that there would not be water leaks in such a big rainy house.

Shen Zhao'er looked at Shen Wan'er, yesterday she had promised Lin Yue'er to accompany her to the town, but Shen Wan'er had never approved of the two of them going out together, so Shen Zhao'er planned to hide it from Shen Wan'er.

But seeing Shen Wan'er like this, she didn't want to go out at all, so what should she say?

She was absent-minded, and the needle in her hand accidentally poked into the flesh, causing her to scream.

"What's wrong?" Shen Wan'er looked at it, and the action of pounding the medicine in her hand paused.

"Nothing, nothing." Shen Zhao'er lowered her head, "It's just that I was accidentally pricked by a needle." ”

Shen Wan'er didn't care anymore, she looked at the black Shen Zhao'er, and some wanted to give her a set of whitening ointments, but now it's a myth, not like her, she usually wears a veil, even if the birthmark is lighter, no one can detect it.

If Shen Zhao'er turns white, she will definitely be asked how she turned white, and when the time comes, she has never learned from a teacher and suddenly understands this, which will definitely arouse suspicion.

The recipes given to Jun Enyan before are enough to attract attention, and then we have to keep a low profile, otherwise we have to have a fair and honest reason to come out with these recipes.

"What are you doing here?" Somewhat absent-minded, Shen Zhao'er simply put down the clothes in her hands and sat down beside Shen Wan'er.

"Some anti-snake, insect and rat ant powder, you should bring some when you go to the mountains." During this time, they would go to the mountains from time to time, and they would also pick up the medicinal materials in the mountains, concoct them themselves, and send them to the pharmacy, which can be regarded as an income.

Shen Zhao'er nodded, "These medicinal powders of yours are quite useful, I don't use them on my body to bite mosquitoes." ”

Now is the hottest time, mosquitoes and the like have become a big problem, in the past, when I slept in summer, I had to be bitten several bags every time, but now with the medicinal powder made by Shen Wan'er, I can sleep until dawn, and there will be no mosquitoes to bite.

"Well, the medicinal powder I made before had a little smell of flushing the nose, but this time I added a little other thing, you smell it, it smells a lot better, just like a balm."

Shen Zhao'er leaned her head over and smelled it, and sure enough, she smelled a faint fragrance, "It really smells good!" ”

"It's almost there, you can use it."

Shen Zhao'er rubbed some powder on her body, and as soon as she finished wiping, she heard the familiar voice of the little minions beside Xiong San.

"Miss Shen, no, something happened in the store again, the boss asked me to tell you."

"What?"

The little minion said it roughly, saying that someone went to the store to make trouble, and Xiong San couldn't solve it, so I asked her what she meant.

Shen Wan'er went to the town, and as soon as she walked on her front foot, Shen Zhao'er went out with her right foot.
