Chapter 70 Helping the Wu family is not dead
The two finally agreed to sell a bowl of five cents in the wine shop, and two of them were given to Shopkeeper Li as a commission; Autumn colors can also be sold for three cents a bowl outside, but use a small bowl.
"By the way, Qiu Niangzi can also take that sauce bean to consign, just as good as the conditions of the beans." Shopkeeper Li said when he sent Autumn Color out.
"That's not ......" Qiu Se stopped in the middle of his words, and changed his words: "Okay, I'll send it in the afternoon." ”
After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Li, Qiu Se first returned to the teahouse to wash the pots and bowls, and took out the two pig bones and a grass carp that were left hanging in the well yesterday.
"Qiu Niang, what are you tossing here? Is it to cook? Qing Niang wanted to come to her to talk to her when she came back from autumn, but she didn't want her to stay in the house, so she couldn't help but find it.
"No, I'm going to find my mother." Qiuse put the bones and fish in the basket and covered them with a cloth, and said to Qing Niang, who was following her: "I'll go out for a while, if you're hungry, take a bite first, and I'll come back to make the meal." In the morning, Qiuse asked Qingniang about the rent, Qingniang said that she would not accept anything, and Qiuse promised that she would cook the future meals.
"Don't worry, I have Granny Cai!" As soon as Qing Niang's words fell, the autumn colors were already out of the teahouse.
Granny Cai came over to fan Qingniang and persuaded her, "Lady, go into the house quickly, it's a big day outside, be careful of tanning." ”
Qing Niang sighed, "You said that when you saw Qiu Niang, why did I feel as if I should do something?" ”
"The lady said nonsense, you don't have to worry about food and clothing now, and how good is a lot of silver flowers, which can be compared with the autumn lady? She's not as hard as a finger of a lady to earn her life like this! ”
Qing Niang laughed when she was said, and said angrily: "Mother-in-law is the best at coaxing people." Saying that, he and Granny Cai entered the house.
Qiu Se went out of the teahouse and went straight to East Fourth Street, when she arrived at Ding's house, it was just noon, and the Ding family was at home except for the three people who were carrying work on the dock.
"Yo, the eldest niece is back? Come on. Zhang, who was peeling the fruit, threw down the fruit and kitchen knife in his hand and greeted him with a smile.
Ding Ergu was not to be outdone, and squeezed over, "Has the eldest niece eaten?" What do you want to eat, my second aunt will make it for you! ”
Zhao Shi held the dishwashing rag in his hand, as if he wanted to come over but couldn't wipe his face, and stood there stiff for a while.
Mrs. Ding directly glanced at the autumn color, scolded 'cheap hooves' and entered the East Chamber.
In comparison, Autumn still likes the consistent Mrs. Ding, and is bored with the hypocritical smiling faces of others, but how did this Mrs. Ding enter the East Wing?
"I'm looking for my mother!" The autumn colors were too enthusiastic, and the Zhang family and Ding Ergu also got into the east wing.
Ding Dafu seemed to hear Qiu Se speak, and was just about to come out of the house, "Why are you here?" But it's not good to live outside? ”
"No, that's good." Autumn took the opportunity to glance at the house where she used to live, and heard someone in the back room humming.
"Your fourth uncle lives at home these days! Let's get inside. Ding Dafu explained in a low voice, and let the eldest girl into his room.
"Big girl." Wu may have been sleeping, but when he saw Qiu Se coming in, he sat up and made some room for her.
"Mother, are you sleeping?" I feel that Wu's spirit seems to be a little worse.
Sanya pricked a needle in the sewn clothes in the kang but accidentally pricked herself, she inhaled in pain, "Hmph, the fourth uncle howled and screamed last night, no one in our family slept well, early in the morning, the milk didn't let my father go out, saying that he was afraid that the fourth uncle would not find anyone if something happened!" ”
"Alright, you're talking!" Ding Dafu glared at his third daughter, and said to Qiu Se: "I can't sell canned food in the past two days, you can take those fruits here!" You don't have much there, do you? Gazi didn't come to deliver these days. ”
"It's okay, I don't sell much now, I sell one barrel a day." Qiuse took the basket over, "This is the bone and fish I bought yesterday, Dad, you can make up for my mother's stew in a while." ”
Wu Shi looked at the autumn color and sighed, "You kid always spends this money, what should I make up?" ”
"Isn't it mainly to make up for the child in my mother's womb?" Qiu Shi pushed the basket over, and Ding Dafu hesitated but took it.
"Mother, do you still have the sauce beans you made?"
Wu nodded, "Yes, there are still most of the jars!" Why, all the ones I brought you yesterday have eaten? ”
Qiu Se shook his head, "It's not all I eat, it's mainly because the tiger master likes to eat it." ”
"Then take the rest of the rest, the child's father, you help the eldest girl send it to the tiger master."
"Yes." Ding Dafu was about to get up in response, but was stopped by the autumn colors.
"Dad, mother, don't worry, I'm not here to ask for Master Hu." Qiu Se continued with a little crying and laughing: "I want to ask my mother, can you make more sauce beans to sell?" ”
"Huh? Sell? Wu was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the autumn color and smiled: "You kid has gone into the eyes of money!" But anyone can make a pickle, how can anyone spend money to buy it! ”
"I came to ask my mother since someone bought me." Qiu Se asked the tiger master for sauce beans in the morning, and he talked to the shopkeeper Li about the consignment.
Ding Dafu and his wife looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that there were people willing to spend money to buy this home-made pickle.
Qiu Se continued: "Anyway, my mother is okay at home, Sanya can still help to do it together, and then my mother will sell it in the wine shop, make some money as a private house, or save a dowry for Sanya, it is better than relying on my father to sell canned food alone." It's okay if you can't sell it, just take it back and eat it yourself. ”
"If it's really like what you said, I don't mean to save any private money, as long as I can prepare more money for the child in my belly." Wu is also a little moved, she was also a little scared of the fetal gas last time, if she is a little private, why should she reach out to others to ask for money?
Ding Dafu took two puffs of cigarette gun and said, "In China, if you make money, you will make private money." ”
"Nacheng, Dad, you send the rest of the sauce beans with me first, and then buy some beans and come back for my mother to make." The matter was negotiated, and Qiu Se and Ding Dafu returned to the dock.
When I went out, I met Zhang and Ding's second aunt with extremely enthusiastic guests, and Qiushi left Ding's house almost as if they were fleeing.
"Your second aunt is just too poor." After walking for a while, Ding Dafu suddenly spoke, "If there is any way to make money, I can pull a handful, and I am also a relative." ”
Qiu Se didn't speak, to be honest, she wasn't too willing in her heart, she didn't like their people on the one hand, and besides, the same commodity was worthless if there were more people, after all, scarcity is expensive.
Ding Dafu sighed when he saw that Qiu Se didn't speak, and he didn't mention it anymore when he walked with the jar, and he still thought that if it was really good to make soy beans, let his mother and his two younger siblings do it together, so that he could add income to the family.
When I arrived at the liquor store of the shopkeeper Li, after tasting the soy beans, I also agreed to put the soy beans there and sell them on consignment, giving the same price as the tiger skin beans.
"Qiu Niangzi, I really didn't expect this side dish to sell so well! There aren't many beans left in the morning, but fortunately you sent the sauce beans, or I'll have to come to the door to find you. Shopkeeper Li said with a smile as he distributed the money earned from selling beans to Qiu Se.
Ding Dafu saw that he really sold it for money, and his heart that had been hanging finally let go. The father and daughter agreed with the shopkeeper Li that tomorrow they would send another jar of everything and come out of the wine shop.
"Big girl, if you have anything to do, come home and talk to your mother." The daughter has a way to make money and still does not forget herself and the Wu family, Ding Dafu's heart is still relatively ironing, although the daughter has not been close to her father, but she can also give her father and mother the financial road she introduced to herself, which can be regarded as the daughter's filial piety to the second elder.
"Okay, I know, dad, go back. Let's make the big bones and fish in the evening, I bought them yesterday, and I can't keep them in the vegetable cellar at home. Autumn Colors admonished.
Ding Dafu hummed and walked back, and Qiu Semu sent him out of the dock and returned to the teahouse himself.
As soon as Autumn Colors entered the teahouse, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, took another step back, half-hidden herself in the door, and poked her eyes out of the door to look at the corner on the right side of the teahouse. There were two people standing there talking about something, one of them was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a gray linen coarse cloth shirt, his hair was tied in a bun that could not be lowered at the top of his head, and he was half-tilting his head and talking to a rugged man next to him.
Isn't this the little stone that follows Ma Ge? Qiu Se peeked at it for a while, and found that Xiao Shi was talking while gesturing towards the teahouse, the big man shook his head and said something, and then Xiao Shi said something, Da Han hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, Xiao Shi took out a handful of things from his shirt and stuffed it into Da Han's arms, Da Han didn't catch it, fell to the ground, and bent down to pick it up when Qiu Se saw that it was actually a copper coin.
Qiu Se's heart is straight to the soul, these two people are obviously talking about the teahouse, could it be that they want to drink tea? But Qing Niang's teahouse has not been opened recently, and why don't they come into the house when they drink tea? Besides, she has been at the dock for a long time, and she hasn't seen these two people, especially Xiao Shi, hasn't he been following Brother Ma on Ronghua Street? Why did you suddenly come to the docks? Could it be that Brother Ma is a thief who doesn't die, and he still wants to kidnap himself?
Thinking of this, Qiu Se shivered herself, and was a little absent-minded throughout the afternoon, until Ai Laohu swayed into the teahouse in the evening, she seemed to have suddenly found the backbone of the heart, and threw down Qing Niang, who was talking to herself, and stood up suddenly.
"Master Hu, come here, I'll ask you something." As he spoke, Qiu Shi pulled Ai Laohu into the courtyard.
Ai Laohu shook off the autumn color, "I said you can just say something, why are you pulling and pulling like this?" As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Qing Niang, who was still sitting in the room.
Qiu Se didn't have time to care about Ai Laohu's attitude, but lowered his voice and asked, "Master Tiger, is it true that you said that Zhang Mazi couldn't be bounced for a few days?" ”
"What's wrong?" As soon as Ai Laohu heard that it was about Zhang Mazi, he also lowered his voice.
"When I came back at noon today, I seemed to see the young man named Xiaoshi who was following Zhang Mazi, talking to another person around the corner of the teahouse, and gesturing at the teahouse, and finally giving the person money."
Ai Laohu's face became serious when he heard Qiu Color's words, and he didn't speak, he reflexively walked out of the teahouse, and after a while, he pulled Qiu Color, came out and stood at the door, and asked, "Do you think it's the person under the willow tree on the left?" ”
