Chapter 074: Grapes are sold by the piece
Ye Xiaohua sent medicine to Yin Yue, in addition to the medicine money, Master Yin gave her an extra five taels of silver, saying that it was the carriage fee and tea money, but Ye Xiaohua couldn't spend so much silver even if she hired a carriage for ten round-trips.
Ye Xiaohua kept the silver close to her, and only one or two pieces of broken silver were left in her purse, which she planned to use to buy things today.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and her and Xiaodouzi's clothes are a little thicker, and now that life is better, she plans to buy a few pieces of cloth and make two matching clothes for herself and Xiaodouzi, and replace them.
Every time she came, she would bring some food back to Xiaodouzi, and she came more often, and the delicious food in the town was almost bought by her, but she didn't want to repeat it, so she wanted to see what else Xiaodouzi hadn't eaten in the town.
After walking for a long time, she came to a fruit stall, there were very few kinds of fruits in ancient times, many tropical fruits were not available, Ye Xiaohua originally thought that it was still the same old as before, but she was attracted by a bunch of grapes.
Little Beanzi doesn't seem to have eaten grapes yet, and I have the impression that no one in the village has a grape vine at home.
However, the grapes at this time are not very ripe, only a little purple red, and most of them are still green, but after all, it is a rare thing, Ye Xiaohua plans to buy it back and give it to Xiaodouzi to taste.
The bunches on the fruit stand were not very big, and she was going to buy them all, but when the fruit seller heard that she was going to buy a whole bunch of grapes, he was shocked.
Ye Xiaohua looked at him suspiciously, "Little brother, could it be that this string was booked?" Then you take out the rest and let me pick and choose. ”
The vendor swallowed, "Are you sure you want to...... Want to buy a bunch? ”
Ye Xiaohua felt that he was a little strange, but he couldn't say it, "Yes, is it difficult to buy a few more?" ”
Unexpectedly, the vendor nodded, "This...... This grape is pressed ...... Sell it by one, one for ten cents. ”
"What?"
This time it was Ye Xiaohua's turn to be surprised, she knew that grapes were not a common fruit here, and she was prepared that it would be more expensive than other fruits, but a pound of peaches was only ten cents, and a grape was ...... Just ten cents?
Now the cotyledons understood why the vendor was so frightened when she heard that she was going to buy a bunch of grapes.
Although the grapes were very expensive, Ye Xiaohua still gritted her teeth and bought a bunch, but fortunately, the bunch she chose was not big, but it also cost her hundreds of dollars.
She carefully asked the little brother why the grapes were so expensive, and the little brother's explanation was that the grapes were produced in the Western Regions, and they were transported all the way here, so they were naturally expensive.
"Hasn't anyone tried to grow their own grapes?"
The peddler saw that Ye Xiaohua bought so many grapes with a lot of money, and thought about making a good relationship, maybe she would be able to visit next time, after all, there were not many fruit sellers selling grapes in this town, so he patiently said a few more words to her.
"Why not, but I don't know if this thing can't support it in the soil here, anyway, I know that someone is planting, but I don't see anyone who has successfully planted it, if this thing is not so expensive?"
It also makes sense, but others can't do it successfully, Ye Xiaohua wants to give it a try, but there are a lot of business opportunities here?
Don't say that a grape costs ten cents, it is two cents, I'm afraid she can also make a lot of money.
Before Ye Xiaohua left, he didn't forget to joke that if Ye Xiaohua succeeded, he must sell it to him cheaper, and he would sell it to others.
Listening to what he meant, he didn't believe that Ye Xiaohua could grow it at all.
Ye Xiaohua put all the things she bought into the back basket, but she was afraid that the grapes would sway in the back basket and break the dirty cloth she had just bought, so she carried it in her hand.
Knowing how ostentatious the things in her hand were, she deliberately chose a path home, but she didn't expect that she would meet a lot of people walking on the path today.
Many people didn't recognize what was in her hand, so she didn't say that she ate it, but Ye Lan was annoyed by Ye Pozi at home, so she also came out to enjoy the cold, and recognized the bunch of grapes in Ye Xiaohua's hand at a glance, which was not cheap.
And she also saw something like cloth through the gap in the back basket, and wondered where this girl got so much money.
After returning home, Ye Xiaohua divided the grapes into two and planned to send some to the chieftain's family, but the grape seeds still had to be taken back.
Ye Xiaohua has been busy at home for a few days, she dares to cut the old clothes indiscriminately, and she doesn't feel distressed if they are damaged anyway, but she is reluctant to come to the new fabric, so she goes to the chief's house and asks the Sang family for help.
The first time she made clothes, Ye Xiaohua was also a little handy, and it took four or five days to make Xiaodouzi's clothes, and then she was busy with her own clothes.
However, she has been busy making clothes for the past ten days, if it wasn't for Sang Shi telling her, she wouldn't know that Jin Shan would have come to pick up Ye Lan early in the morning.
The three of Ye Lanniang are gone, and it is a good thing for the Ye family and Ye Xiaohua, so no one will bother them anymore.
However, she couldn't be happy when she thought of what she saw in the Splendid Pavilion.
The Sang family thought that Ye Xiaohua was reluctant, but she only felt that this child was too affectionate, and Ye Lanniang was not very good to her, and she was reluctant.
Ye Xiaohua didn't explain much, after all, her uneasiness was just speculation.
When the clothes were ready, Sang asked Ye Xiaohua to put them on for her to see first, not to mention, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Ye Xiaohua who changed into laundry clothes was like a different person, Sang looked at the little beauty in front of him, and kept admiring, "Okay, let's wear it like this, how beautiful it is." ”
Ye Xiaohua thought that it was still early to cook, who didn't like to wear new clothes, especially the ones that Sang helped make were particularly good-looking, and she wanted her to say that it was better than what the ready-to-wear store did, so she didn't take it off.
She thought that since Jin Shan had come to pick her up, Ye Lan would not be happy to follow, but where did she think that as soon as she entered the house, Ye Lan sat there panting, and when she saw her push the door in, her eyes were on fire.
If it weren't for the fact that she was in a hurry, the teacup she threw over smashed into her face, and she did it first without saying a word, and Ye Xiaohua was also angry.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Ye Lan glanced at the new clothes on Ye Xiaohua's body, she was not mistaken, what she saw in the dead girl's back basket that day was the fabric, she looked at the slim girl in front of her, she was already in shape, thinking of the man who kept asking her about it, and Qiuhong's words, she was suddenly angry.
"Little vixen, you really have the ability, it's not good to learn from your sassy old lady, you have learned to seduce men."
Ye Xiaohua was stunned when she was scolded, no matter how smart she was, she didn't expect that a hurried glance that day would make Qiu Hong have a vicious intention to sow discord.
