Chapter 9 Promotional activities of the Dragon Boat Festival
It was close to noon, and she didn't see Liu'er and Cui'er come back, so Shao Yu knew that the promotion she had done this time was successful. asked Ah Jiu to bring them food, and by the way, inquire about the situation. Shao Yu and his father Pei Zhong had lunch together, but Ah Jiu delivered the meal but did not return for a long time, and did not come back with Cui'er and Liu'er until late in the afternoon.
When the three of them returned home, they spread out on their chairs, and each drank a large cup of tea, which was slightly better.
Liu Er said: "Girl, you don't know that there are too many people, I have been busy since the morning, and my legs have been standing on bamboo poles, and I can't bend them." ”
Shao Yu smiled: "Girl, I know you are tired, how about giving you more monthly money at the end of the month?" ”
Ah Jiu clapped his hands and smiled: "That girl is what she says, I'll thank the girl first." Liu Er and Cui'er were also very happy to hear the extra monthly money, and they didn't feel tired.
About an hour later, Wang Song also came back, and the three of them were almost rested, and Cui'er hurriedly served tea to his father and rubbed his legs.
The silver was too heavy, it was inconvenient to carry, and it was too ostentatious, and it was still in the shop, and the shopkeeper Qiu and Ah Shi looked at it. Later, let the young master and I go with me to exchange the silver for silver tickets, and it is not safe to keep it in the shop all the time. Girl, your idea of this promotion is really good, today all the inventory has been cleared, there are not many silk yarns left, and Hangzhou silk and Hangluo are almost sold out. There was still some cotton and brocade left, and I brought the ledger with me, and the girl looked at it. If it weren't for following the girl, the old slave would never have seen so much silver in his life. ”
"Uncle Wang, we will earn more and more money in the future, and I will buy a house for you and Mama Zhang to support your retirement. Marry a daughter-in-law for Ah Jiu, and find a mother-in-law for Cui'er. ”
"Okay, good, I really didn't expect that life could be so good." Wang Song couldn't help but sigh a little. I thought that I was in my teens, I was dying of hunger, and I was saved by Mr. Pei and voluntarily sold myself into slavery. Later, I married my wife's maid, had a son and a daughter, and I was still old and dependent, and a person's life is indeed a hundred turns, and opportunities are very important.
Shao Yu was settling accounts with an abacus, and his brother Pei Shaoli came back, so Shao Yu asked him to take Ah Jiu to the shop to save the silver.
After Shao Yu finished settling the accounts, he was also a little surprised, and he even had nearly 5,000 taels of silver with interest, and in addition to the capital, he also made a net profit of 1,000 taels.
If it weren't for the presence of someone in the flower hall, she would have jumped for joy. The ready-to-wear shop has been open for a few years, and this is the first time Shao Yu has rolled up his sleeves and done a big job, but he didn't expect to gain a lot. This makes Shaoyu even more confident in the future.
In the evening, Shao Yu opened two tables in the kitchen, one table for men and one table for women, and bought a few catties of Huadiao wine. Shao Yu asked Liu Er and Cui'er to put the food in the gazebo in the garden, and the man's table was placed in the flower hall, which was irrelevant, and there was no need to be embarrassed. Aunt Li and Wang Ma also put on the table together after cleaning up the kitchen, everyone was eating wine lively, Aunt Li, Wang Ma and Zhang Mama ate Huadiao wine, and when they were happy, they began to drink again, and several girls ate fruit wine brewed by Shaoyu.
Lian'er's amount of wine was too shallow, and after only drinking a small glass, her face was flushed, adding a bit of color. Shao Yu couldn't do it either, and after drinking two glasses, he began to get dizzy. The big guy talked and laughed, and in the end, everyone drank and staggered, and forgot how to go back.
The next morning, Shaoyu woke up, with a splitting headache and was very uncomfortable, and when he saw that he hadn't taken off his coat, he fell asleep.
Sitting on the bed, my mind was groggy, at this time Cui'er came in, and brought washing water and a handkerchief, Shaoyu got up and went to the clean room inside, finished washing, and changed clothes, which made me feel more comfortable.
Cui'er helped her comb her hair and asked Shao Yu what kind of hairstyle she would comb today, Shao Yu thought for a while and said, "Comb a flying fairy bun." I should look good today in my purple soft smoke Rosa flower dress with a flying fairy bun. Girl, I'm still pretty good-looking, isn't it, Cui'er. ”
Cui'er said calmly: "What the girl said is the best for the girl." ”
"Cui'er, why are you like an old lady, girl, I haven't seen you smile much. Come on, Cui'er, give Ye Le one. After speaking, he also threw a wink at Cui'er.
Cui'er was still there, her eyes didn't move, and Shao Yu completely stopped cooking.
Today's breakfast has zongzi and buns, zongzi has dates, red beans, braised pork, Shaoyu ate a date-filled zongzi and a bun, and ate a big bowl of sweet foam. This sweet foam is not sweet, but salty, also called Tian foam.
Sweet foam is a very famous traditional food in Jeju, it is a kind of salty porridge boiled with millet noodles, and the porridge is filled with peanuts, spiced beans, cowpeas, vermicelli, and green vegetables, so the people of Jeju are also commonly known as "five-spiced sweet foam".
I ate a lot of breakfast, a little support, Shao Yu walked in the yard, it was regarded as exercise and digestion, and this brother Pei Shao left.
"Yueniang, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten, brother, I'm still eating, I'm eating. Brother, why are you here? ”
Pei Shaoli said: "You come in, I have something to say to you." ”
After entering the house, the two sat down on the spring stool next to the Eight Immortals table, and Shao Yu helped Pei Shaoli pour a cup of tea and said, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”
Pei Shaoli took out a bill and said, "This is the silver you earned yesterday, and I will help you store it in Ping An Qianzhuang." Here's the bill, you take it. ”
"Brother, you take it, I still have it in my hand?"
"Then how can I do it, my brother also has money, and I will take it from Yueniang without it, Yueniang is now the head of our family. By the way, the day after tomorrow is going to be a game, are the clothes ready? And what you said, Lord He also agreed, saying that there was no problem. ”
"That's great, I'll go and urge Shopkeeper Qiu to ask how the clothes are doing?" Shao Yu thought for a while and asked, "Brother, have you found out who hurt your father?" ”
Pei Shaoli hesitated for a moment before saying, "I found it, guess who it is?" ”
Shao Yu shook his head.
"It's Lin Darthead in the west of the city, he once wanted to marry our family as a son and daughter, but Lin Darthead's son didn't make it, and he messed around in that kind of place all day long, so his father rejected the matchmaker. In addition, last year's Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race their dragon boat lost to our family, his son Lin Wu held a grudge, that day when he saw his father drunk, he was born from the side of the heart, and wanted to do two endlessly, picking off his father's tendons and hamstrings, so that his father could no longer practice martial arts. So that our family's dart business plummeted, so that there would be no future, but unfortunately they miscalculated, but fortunately, Brother Xiao saved his father, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Pei Shaoli sneered.
"So what do we do now? Brother. ”
"Of course, I will treat him in the way of others, not only will I make him crippled, but I will also make him dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, I can't say what is bitter, hum."
"Then brother, you have to be careful, Daddy is getting older, Mother is gone, and we only have you. You have to be very careful. After speaking, Shaoyu looked at Pei Shaoli with red eyes.
Pei Shaoli touched her head and said, "Don't worry, my brother will be more careful." ”
