Chapter 116: Rivals in Love
The plan of the year lies in the spring, and after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, it has to be cultivated and ready to plant rice.
The money was brought into Beijing by the cheap father and given to Su Shan.
Now there is less than a tael of silver in the money bag.
When I returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, I was poor and white again!
In order to open source, Su Lingyu pulled chickens, ducks and goose seedlings into the city to sell.
Because of the early entry into the city, he occupied a good position in the market and placed a cage of cage chickens, ducks and geese.
"The chickens, ducks and geese seedlings in Dongquan Village have been raised for ten days, two pennies a piece, buy ten and get one free."
Before the slogan could be shouted, nearby farmers gathered around.
They either go into the city to sell vegetables, or they go into the city to sell old hens and big roosters.
Just after the Chinese New Year, there was a shortage of chickens at home.
Some picked five, some ten, and some twenty.
Chickens are more popular, and ducks and geese seedlings don't sell much.
emptied the chicken coop and guarded two cages of ducks and goose seedlings, bored.
"Third aunt, you look at the seedlings, I'll go for a walk with Kapok."
"If anyone asks for it, they will be sold for three cents."
"Okay, you have to be careful. When you see those people, hide away. ”
Su Lingyu wants to ask about the silk market this year.
The silk market was unstable last year, sometimes high and sometimes low, I don't know how the market is this year.
One big and one small, holding hands, each holding a string of golden taro balls in their hands, went to Wang Long's base camp while eating.
Passing by the East City Gate, I saw Jin Ling's maid Jin Mei from a distance, and saw her looking up and talking to the people in the Qingpeng carriage.
Vaguely, it was not Jin Ling in the carriage, but a man in a green shirt.
Seeing that the carriage was dusty, and then looking at the coachman, the dress was different from here, and the owner of the carriage was afraid that he came from other places.
"It's definitely not a good thing to dodge, Cuicui, you go along and take a look." Su Lingyu said.
The maid Cuicui walked into the flow of people and walked forward with the carriage far away.
Su Lingyu took Kapok to Wang Long.
"Miss Su San is here, you are safe and healthy for the New Year."
"Fifteen are all here, where is the greeting, it's nondescript."
"Third Miss, it's spring, how much millet are you going to plant?"
"Third Miss, did you sell half of your family's fertile land?"
I can't reply one by one, I can only pick out some important ones, she said: "Dad went to Beijing, and there are not many people in the family who can farm, so they can only reduce the paddy fields." ”
"Third Miss, please come inside, Uncle Tong is waiting for you in the left hall."
The dart masters slapped and beat, in and out, loading and unloading, so lively.
Spring is coming, and the caravan is going to leave home and travel far away. They are all in the yard, sorting out the goods they need to transport.
Some people owe money for the Chinese New Year, hoping that this trip can earn back a sum and pay off their old debts.
This trip to the goods, extra care, not only to tie tightly, but also to ensure that the goods do not go wrong.
The hall on the left side was noisy, full of people inside and out, one by one vying for Uncle Tong to sign and reconcile. It's not easy for people outside to see Uncle Tong.
She waited for a while, thinking that what she wanted to ask was not very important, and turned around and left through the side door.
Let's talk to Mrs. Wang, maybe she can find out something.
Wang Lung's residence is not far from the dart game.
The doorkeeper knew her and let her in directly.
Xiao Si, who was guarding the front yard, thought that she had the permission of her master, or was invited, so he took her directly inside.
He hadn't gone far when the chief butler of the palace trotted over.
"Miss Su San? Are you here to find the master? The butler blocked her way.
"Is your master at home?"
"The master is feasting, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to receive you."
"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask if there is any change in the price of silk this year."
"I haven't heard anything about it, but I just heard the caravan in Nanyang say that the mulberry trees in the south are sick, and many silkworm families have to replant the trees. I'm afraid that this year's price will rise by a few cents. ”
She probably understood.
Smelling a lingering fragrance of flowers, she urged the narrow housekeeper, "Second Uncle Tong is not shallow, and he has a peach blossom fragrance." ”
"Third Miss, don't make fun of the old man, the old man is feasting in the peach orchard, and the old man comes to be a wooden man, which is just a bit of spring."
The big housekeeper smiled: "Come to the kitchen, get some peach blossom pastries, if you don't dislike it, take some back to taste?" ”
"No, I have a fluffy and soft cake at home, which is better than your pastry......"
Su Lingyu touched Kapok's head, and Kapok no longer showed off.
My sister said that if you have good things, you can eat them yourself, and you don't need to tell outsiders.
My sister touched her head, but she didn't let her tell outsiders that she had something good to eat.
Well, she knew her sister's hints.
"You're busy, so I won't bother. Come back another day. ”
"You walk slowly."
The big butler personally sent her out. Then he went back to resume his life, and when he saw that the master's guests were gone, he didn't ask much.
"The third lady is gone, she came to ask the price of silk."
"The price of silk? Isn't she selling silkworm cocoons? Could it be that she wants to make silk? ”
Wang Lung fell into deep thought, and then smiled.
No matter what Su Lingyu does, those goods are still sold to him. Whatever she does, he welcomes it.
&
In the stalls on the street, fish balls are boiling in small pots, and scallion pancakes are fried in iron pans. The fragrance of green onions and oil hooks people's noses and leads people to drool.
One large and one small stood in front of the stall, reluctant to leave.
When Cuicui saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I can find Miss." ”
"Do you want to eat?" She pointed to the scallion pancake and asked Cuicui.
Cuicui shook her head, leaned over and whispered a few words in the young lady's ear.
The more Su Lingyu listened, the more interesting she became, and she slowly smiled.
The vendor made the silk taro balls and handed them to the little girl, "The girl wants the silk taro balls." ”
Su Lingyu took the taro ball and gave a few pennies to the vendor. "I want another green onion cake."
Give one of the bunches to the kapok and let Cuicui take the green onion cake.
"Miss, pie."
"It's your bread."
"Eat it, my sister bought it for you."
Xiao Wang next door is resting today, so he should be at home.
Uncle Wang's body is getting weaker and weaker, and it's time to go and see Uncle Wang.
I haven't seen my master for more than half a month, so I should pay a visit.
Walking into the alley where I once lived, a few years have passed, and many people have changed here.
Some of them got rich and moved to other places; Some saw through it and moved somewhere else.
Of the ten households, seven or eight families do not know each other, and the changes here are really big.
Kapok saw a child kicking the shuttlecock, volunteered to pick up the shuttlecock, and played with them.
When the child saw that Kapok had something to eat in her hand and was hungry for a bite to eat, he allowed her to join.
She asked Cuicui to stay and watch Kapok and go to Wang's house to have a look.
Lightly buckle the door of the brown courtyard, babble the door open, and the person who opened the door was not a servant, but Wang Jingxing.
I saw Wang Jingxing's hair in a loose bun, his clothes were casual, and the fragrance was coming, like the fragrance of some kind of peach blossom.
The scent seems to have been smelled somewhere.
I don't remember, so forget it.
Why dig deeper.
"What's the matter with San'er here?"
Su Lingyu smiled, "Uncle Shi, do you know what the word enemy means?" ”
