Chapter 337: Opportunity
"Just drink some well water at home. So we're pretty good, thanks to the support of these old customers for many years, otherwise, it would be difficult to continue. ”
"Why, tea has suddenly become so expensive?" Qingwan then asked.
"Who knows, I heard that the production is too small, so the tide is rising. Alas, this is just more expensive, and it's nothing if you don't drink it, but Miss, you see, this year's weather is also hot and evil, how many people have high fever, and Lang Zhong in the pharmacy said that it is hot for a while, and you have to drink some soup to clear away the heat and defeat the fire. If, as in the past, you could drink some tea to relieve fever, more than half of the people who fell ill would be reduced. But this tea can not afford to drink, since the summer, more and more sick people, this young lady looks like a person who has read books, must understand the effect of tea, only by drinking well water, and tea is very different. ”
"Little Xinzi, the snacks are all ready!"
"Hey, it's coming!" The cousin agreed, and hurriedly went to serve the plates.
"I've also heard that there are a lot of sick people in the city this year, who made the weather so hot, what can be done?" He sighed.
Qingwan sipped the tea carefully, thoughtfully,
"Mother, it's the first time I've entered such a big tea house, you look at this decoration, it's really magnificent. It's the first time I've grown so big, and it's the first time someone has called me Miss. This is all thanks to Sister Qingwan. Ruoping looked around, her eyes full of envy.
"This is our family's special green tea cake, please try it, Madame, Miss." The hall took eight plates with a large tea tray, spread them out on the table one by one, the cloud cake was as white as snow, the apricot meat and dried peaches were golden and bright, the sweet fragrance hit people, the lotus leaf dumplings were like jade gelatin, the small steamed buns with bean paste were only the size of longan, the almonds were crispy and petite, the red bean soup was square and warm, lined with the plate of pale green tea cakes in the middle, this table of dim sum, colorful, delicate and small, not to mention eating, just looking at it, it made people's appetite move.
Ruoping was already hungry, and when she saw the snacks served, her eyes lit up, and she reached out to take a piece to eat, but was slapped by He's: "Let Sister Qingwan eat first!" Where are the rules that my mother taught you? ”
"Mother, I know it's wrong." Ruoping withdrew her hand a little embarrassed, staring at the plate on the table: "Sister Qingwan, are you hungry too?" You taste it. ”
Qingwan looked at her with a little amusement, and first handed a piece to He's, and then took a piece to Ruoping: "You guys eat first, I'm not hungry." I'll just have some tea. While holding a cup, he asked the cousin: "When we came over, we saw that the business of Deyuantang was good, and no one could squeeze it out." It's the hottest on the street, right? ”
"That's nature!" The cousin said categorically, "Everyone can see it, now, every business is not good, and this pharmacy business is the best!" Who wants to go there? If it weren't for the bad weather this year and the fact that so many people were sick with high fever, it would not have been a pharmacy. Do you say? ”
"Everyone is reluctant to drink tea, but the price of this dose of medicine is not low, it is better to prevent it early, and save yourself from getting sick and suffering." Qingwan Road.
"This young lady is a person who understands, who says it isn't? But Li'er is such a reason, but to put it in my heart, we are all ordinary people, who has much spare money? When you don't get sick, no one is willing to spend a lot of money to drink tea, but if you really get sick, you can't go into the pharmacy to get medicine. Hey, there's no way around it. The hall looked at Qingjuan's gaze and saw the crowded crowd in front of Deyuan Hall, and he was not without emotion.
"Well, this snack is delicious! I've never tasted such sweet tea cakes. Ruoping ate three pieces in a row before she reluctantly stopped.
"We have a secret recipe that has been passed down for decades, and everyone who has eaten it is full of praise!" The cousin was busy echoing.
Qingwan was a little funny: "Okay, you go down first, and I'll call you if there's anything." ”
"Hey, Madame, Miss has something to do. The little one went first. "This hall is very discerning, and after listening to it, he will no longer be wordy, and he will be busy.
He Shi was a little worried: "Girl, you haven't eaten for a day, make up for it, otherwise, I'm afraid your body won't be able to support it." ”
"It's okay, auntie," Qingwan drank two cups of tea in a row, and then she felt much better, and now she had an idea in her heart, and she was a little excited: "Let Sister Ping eat more, I'll drink tea enough." ”
When Ruoping was full, she told her mother about what happened in the pharmacy just now, and she was afraid as she spoke: "Mother, don't you know, I was frightened, I helped change the towel, and my hands were trembling." Sister Qingwan is also really bold, she cut all the skin and flesh with a knife, and she didn't tremble at all, she was still so calm. Take out the snake's fangs, they're that big," Ruoping said, gesturing with her hand, "I don't even dare to look at it." That's not all, Sister Qingwan actually sucked it with her mouth, and the mouthful of poisonous blood was all black! I'm going to faint! ”
When He Shi listened, he trembled slightly: "Girl, if you don't understand it in the future, you can't get started like this." If this is really infected with that toxin, how can it be good? ”
"I've read in books before about the cure for snake bites. Know what to expect. Qingwan was afraid that they would nag again, "It's not too early, let's hurry to the city gate, the road is not easy to walk, don't tell Uncle Yang to wait in a hurry." ”
He Shi looked at it, and it was indeed the sun sinking in the west, so he nodded. Qingwan asked the cousin to come and say that the remaining snacks on the table were packed, and asked for two plates of green tea cakes, which were also loaded together, and He insisted on checking out: "I know the price of this tea house, your family is not easy, and my aunt invites you to eat today." ”
Where is Qingwan willing to follow: "That's not good, anyway, this tea is for me to finish." Ask Sister Ping, we got two letters of silver just now, so don't worry about it. After speaking, without waiting for the He family to take out the money, he handed the broken silver that had been prepared to the cousin: "Is it enough?" ”
"Enough, enough, just right. Madame and Miss go slowly, and take care of our store more in the future! The cousin said loudly.
Qingwan picked up the baggage, and the three of them went out together, and the street was still full of people, and it was easy to squeeze to the city gate. Sure enough, the carriage had already stopped there and waited, only the three of them were missing, Yang Degui stood in front of the car, anxiously looking left and right, He was a little embarrassed: "Let everyone wait for a long time, it is really difficult to walk on the street, so it took half a day to come." ”
"It's okay, it's okay if we wait a little longer." Yang Degui said, "Today, the big guys on the road all understand that for that Sheng Gongzi, the road to a good man will not work." I'm just afraid that some of you will make a mistake, so you can do it well. Get in the car and sit down, let's rush back. When you get out of the city gate, the road will be easy to walk. ”
The three of them hurriedly thanked each other, got into the car and found a place to sit next to each other. The women naturally asked curiously, "Sister-in-law He, what good things did you buy?" Take it out for us to see. ”
"It's nothing, it's just two horses." He couldn't help it, so he had to take it out of his bag and show it to everyone: "It's not the best, it's too expensive, and we can't afford it." ”
"Tsk," the women looked at and touched, but their mouths were not idle: "This material is not bad, the pattern is new this year, and it is in fashion now." The texture is also good, thick and soft, and it can't be cheap when you look at it. Sister-in-law He, what kind of happy event is this for your family? Such good material? ”
"What's the joy there? No, her uncle is going to take his daughter to visit relatives, and he hasn't been here for two years, so he can't prepare some meeting gifts? He said this, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
Naturally, the women understood what this meant, and looked at each other, "Are you talking about the girl named Sakura?" I've seen it in the first few years, and it was a little beauty blank at that time, and this time it probably looks like a fairy! ”
He Shi closed his mouth happily: "It's my niece, it's rare that the girl is sensible, and she never worries about it!" ”
"If anyone's family can marry such a daughter-in-law, it will be a great blessing!" Those women love to talk about these topics the most, and they can't stop talking: "She is the same age as your family Wu Wen, but she is a good family business!" My aunt is the best! ”
These words obviously went to He's heart, but he said: "I'm afraid that my family Wu Wen is not worthy of others, if you can really do that, it's good to dare to be affectionate!" ”
"What is not worthy? I saw that your Wu Wen and that girl were a natural pair, this is a good opportunity, sister-in-law He, you can't miss it. A group of women, chattering, and talking about what they were good at, seemed excited.
Wu Ping listened to these words, but the expression on his face was disdainful, but he held Qingwan's hand tightly and whispered, "Don't take these words to heart, they are all talking nonsense." If my brother hears this, he doesn't know how angry he will be. ”
"What's so angry about this? That's a good thing. Qingwan smiled faintly: "Beware that your mother is angry when she hears you." ”
Ruoping glanced at his mother and reluctantly stopped. Qingwan is thinking about a big event in her heart, this is the hope of the family now, and she can't wait to go back and discuss it with her parents.
Out of the city, the speed of the carriage increased. When they returned to the village, it was just dark, and everyone got out of the car, took the big bags and small wraps they bought, and hurried home. Hanguang has been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time: "Second sister! You're back! Have all the herbs been sold? Daddy couldn't rest assured, so I waited for you here. ”
"Isn't there an aunt here? What is there to worry about? The medicinal herbs are all sold, and there is a good thing. I'll go back and talk to you about it. Qingwan said with a smile, and took out the packed green tea cakes from the baggage: "Auntie, Sister Ping, thank you for taking care of me today, go back and ask Uncle He to taste these two packs of dim sum, don't dislike it, I will go back and thank my mother again." ”
