"Hostess, my mother is very grateful for your care of our family some time ago. This is the wine that my family has just made, so I'll send some of it first, hoping not to dislike it. Before this wine woman goes to bed at night, drinking such a glass can play a role in beautifying and nourishing the skin. ”
After Du Yi said this, he took out a small bottle of wine and put it on the table, nodded slightly at He Cao's, and pulled Liu away.
She is very confident in her mother's wine, and the real purpose of coming today is to get rid of He Cao's fish. She didn't want to negotiate the price now, at least until she sold it in the afternoon.
For some reason, she always felt in her heart that the man named Yicheng would not treat her badly. When the price of this house is determined, she will be able to negotiate with He Cao's family tomorrow.
He Cao looked at the small bottle of wine in front of him, and sighed in his heart that the Liu family was stingy. However, out of curiosity, she peeled off the cork, and suddenly a faint sweet smell of fruit came to her nose. There is a hint of wine in this sweet smell, and you can't help but want to take a sip.
When the wine was poured into the porcelain bowl, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised when I saw the color of the wine. Picking up the bowl, as if treating a treasure, she took a small sip, and the silky taste in her mouth made people like her, who have tasted many fine wines, can't help but praise it.
This wine has no thick sweetness, no throat-piercing alcohol, only a faint fruity aroma and a faint sourness. The faint power of wine, the red color of wine, like the unfathomable sea.
Noble and elegant with coldness, like a beautiful woman who meditates alone on the railing at dusk under the boundless cold rain, can only be admired from afar, how can she bear to wake up that tranquility?
Take a sip again, close your eyes, and let the taste of red wine moisten your mouth again, the taste is slightly sour, slightly fruity, mellow, plump and complete, and the lips and teeth are fragrant after drinking, with a long aftertaste and endless aftertaste.
"Good!" He Cao stood up excitedly, slapped one hand on the table, and shouted. Then he picked up the remaining wine on the table and hurried out the door.
Xu was an hour later, and Liu's mood gradually calmed down. Pulling Dui, trying to avoid the crowd, the province was hit by someone.
After buying cloth and daily necessities, he hired a carriage early, talked to the people who drove the ox carts in the village, and went back first.
When I got home, it was just noon. The two of them were silent and classified the things they bought one by one.
"Yiyi, have you given me a new embroidery?" When Peach Blossom saw the brightly colored cloth, her heart was ready to move.
"Take it, those handkerchiefs and other silver, all of them are in my mother's, I took some of the larger samples for you and came back, and I will get them for you in a while. By the way, these cloths are used to make winter clothes, go back and find the time, let's make them together. ”
Dooy's mind was now on the question of whether to make clothes for the child. This family can't sit and eat empty, and now Liniang's sister-in-law is pregnant, and she herself is pregnant. If this is discovered by the villagers, I don't know what will happen.
But if she doesn't live in this village, where will she go and where can she go alone? Liniang can't do work at home, and she can't leave people. If Liu followed her, it would be impossible.
If it is produced here, how will it be solved in the village? In the future, after the child is born, you can't wronged the child. With three children at home, the cost will only get bigger. And during her childbirth and confinement, she couldn't do anything. All the original plans had to be suspended.
Although Doe was in a hurry, his face did not show it.
In the afternoon, four carriages went from the entrance of Liujia Village to Liu's house. Behind the carriage, followed by a group of curious people. Everyone wants to know what these people are doing when they come to Liu's house.
Erlang and Liu Dazhu had already negotiated the price of mangosteen with the Tie Niu family, and when they heard that a carriage had arrived at home, they hurried home. They all remember that someone was going to buy the wine today.
"Girl, are you at home? Is the wine still there? He Cao was the first to get out of the carriage and shouted.
After tasting the wine in the morning, she ran home and gave the rest of the wine to her husband, He Chao. After discussing in the room for a long time, the couple hurriedly came to Liujia Village.
Fortunately, when I signed the contract with Dui, I wrote down the address clearly. It's just that I didn't expect that when I was at the intersection of the village, I ran into two carriages that also came to Liu's house to buy wine.
"Miss Du, under Yu Ziheng, the person who handed over the post yesterday. I have come to you at the behest of my master to negotiate with you the price of this wine. The master said that he had told you before, let me come and negotiate the price with you directly. ”
The voices of these two people, neither big nor small, fell into the ears of everyone. Immediately exploded in the crowd. Dare to love that the Liu family has a good thing, and people specially came to buy it?
Is this Liu family going to get rich? This blatant wave suddenly caused ripples in the crowd of Liujia Village.
"Three people in the room, please!"
It stands to reason that Duyi, who has already reached the end of the line, should be avoided. It's just that for this wine, the Liu family and other Liu family members have no bottom in their hearts, so they can only accompany them at this time and let Du Yi negotiate in person.
Originally, this wine was also made by Du Yi, and let her talk about it, and the Liu family didn't feel that it was inappropriate.
Peach Blossom boiled hot water early in the morning and waited on the side. At this time, he took out the tea leaves that Du Yi had bought before he returned, and after brewing them, he broke them off and stood at the door.
The people outside Liu's house were reluctant to leave. Everyone wants to get the first news, and they all want to know how much money the Liu family has earned. It was already November, and those who did not have any money to call for tax were about to go to labor. Everyone is thinking about borrowing some money from the Liu family and paying the taxes first. If you go to labor, you have to shed your skin if you don't die.
"Girl, can you take a sip of this wine and then set the price?" Yu Ziheng just heard the master say that the wine was really delicious, and he came with his life, so he didn't know how it was, and he was a little unsure of the price.
But his master said yes, it must be good. He was just afraid that the price would be low, and it would be difficult to explain it when he turned back. The meaning of the master's words is to let himself help this Du girl.
Du Yi nodded, went to fetch a bowl of wine in person, divided it into three small bowls, and handed it to the He couple and Yu Ziheng.
He Cao knew that it was impossible to buy it at a cheap price today. But when I saw the wine, my eyes lit up again.
Since I'm here today, I'm going to buy some anyway and sell them in the shop.
"This wine is really good, but I don't know how Miss Du plans to sell it?" Yu Ziheng's eyes lit up after drinking, and he secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of the master's praise.
"The price of this fine wine has not been measured in money since ancient times. Since the little woman said that she was going to sell it today, why don't you talk about the price you can accept? ”
Doe tosses the price back to the two. If according to what she said, one or two hundred wen per catty, and people can give five hundred wen when she turns around, then wouldn't she be a loss? She's not that stupid. After all, the initiative is in her hands.
"I wonder how much wine is left in the girl's house? How much can I sell? This is what Yu Ziheng cares about. In fact, no matter how much her family has, he can eat it.
But there was still a person waiting in front of him to divide the half, and he had to think about it.
"The total amount of this wine is only about 500 catties, and I still have to keep a little bit at home, so I can't sell much. The little girl has to look at the situation first, and if the response is good this year, it will increase a little more next year. ”
Since ancient times, scarcity is precious, and when they heard that the amount of this wine was so small, the minds of the three people present were alive. I have even figured out how to sell these wines, or use these wines as favors and give them away.
"In that case, Brother Yu, how about we have half of this wine?" He Chao didn't say the price yet, so he directly discussed with Yu Ziheng first. No matter what the price of the wine was today, he had to buy it, which was the result of the negotiation between the couple all the way.
"Yu is not the kind of unreasonable person, as long as the elder brother can eat that half, Yu is naturally fine."
In Yu Ziheng's opinion, those two or three hundred catties of wine are not enough for his master, let alone sell them to the outside world. Although I was a little unhappy in my heart, the master had specially explained before I came that I couldn't use power to oppress people in everything. also hinted that he had to assist this Miss Du in secret.
"Thank you, brother." After He Chao finished speaking, he immediately lowered He Cao's body and discussed in a low voice.
Yu Ziheng intended to help Du Yi, so he took the lead and said: "Girl, I plan to buy your wine at a price of 600 wen per catty, I don't know what you think?" ”
Liu Dazhu, who was sitting on the side, trembled his hands, his dark face was afraid of revealing his surprise, he took a deep breath, picked up the bowl, and took a sip of tea to hide his excitement.
Liu has seen the world, and she is a little excited in her heart, and her face is not obvious. Instead, he glanced at Doe without a trace to see how she reacted.
After all, Erlang is young and has little experience. Hearing this price, I thought of what Du Yi said that there were about five hundred catties at home, and after a rough estimate, I could enter the account for hundreds of taels, my eyes widened, and my face was swollen red.
He Chao, who was discussing the price, was shocked when they heard the price given by Yu Ziheng. But fortunately, the price is still within their budget, and it is not too difficult.
"Miss Yiyi, since Brother Yu has offered the price of 600 Wen, then I can't say it lower, the price is according to what he said, I don't know what you think?"
When Du Yi originally heard that rice wine was ten wen a catty, he thought that if he could buy his wine for one hundred wen, it would already be considered a sky-high price. Now the price given is 600 Wen at once. Is there room for the silver of this wine to rise? Thinking of this, she quietly used the corner of her eye to incorporate the expressions of the three people into her eyes.
While everyone was waiting for Du Yi to speak, they saw her bow her head and hold the teacup, her eyes lowered, making it difficult to figure out what she was thinking.
"Could it be that the girl is not satisfied with the price?" After waiting for a long time and not getting an answer, He Cao couldn't help but be a little anxious. Could it be that this girl really wants a pound or a tael of silver?
Du Yi had enough of the tastes of everyone present, so he raised his beautiful eyes, looked around at the expressions of the people, and said: "Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls with amber light; But that the master may be drunk, and he will not know where it is. This poem describes this wine, I wonder what you think? ”
Although He Cao is a businesswoman, she is literate in the end, and she secretly complains bitterly about Du Yi's poems. It seems that this girl will not give up if she does not take this opportunity to make a lot of money.
"Good poem, for the girl's poem, Yu added fifty more wen per catty." Yu Ziheng had the intention to help Du Yi, and when he heard Du Yi's words, he hurriedly said his price before He Chao and his wife spoke.
When He Chao and his wife heard this, the two exchanged their heads and muttered to each other for a long time. After a while, He Caoshi raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said to Du Yi: "Girl, the six hundred and fifty wen a pound from Brother Yu is already the limit of our family. If there are more, I'm afraid our family will be powerless. ”
The corners of Du Yi's mouth rose slightly: "The little woman is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to say, and this price is naturally satisfied." I don't know if the two of you are going to be pulled away now? ”
Peach Blossom was originally standing at the door eavesdropping, and when she heard the six hundred words, her heart was beating wildly. I jumped harder than I used to when I was uncomfortable. Afraid that Du Yi would not let go, the two of them repented, and they were eager to rush in and agree for Du Yi.
It's just that I can't see Doy's answer. Just when she wanted to take the opportunity to add water to come in, she didn't expect Du Yi to read a poem, and the price was added to fifty wen. She felt like she was about to faint when she finally settled on the price.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a little breathless. She knew that there would be nothing for her to do next, so she hurried to Liniang's house.
"Peach Blossom, are you uncomfortable? Why is your face so pale, is it heartache again? You wait, don't worry, my sister-in-law asked your eldest brother to ask for a doctor for you. ”
Li Niang hadn't seen Peach Blossom sick for a while, and she was startled when she saw Peach Blossom's pale face, shortness of breath, and faint sweat on her sideburns. She almost forgot how delicate Peach Blossom's body was.
Peach Blossom was a little annoyed, knowing that her emotions couldn't go up and down, she had to join in the fun, and now she scared Liniang. Clenched his teeth, he inhaled and exhaled as Doe had said, trying to calm his emotions.
"Peach Blossom, don't scare my sister-in-law." Liniang has been resting for a while, and during this time, she has eaten and drunk well, and she feels that her body has improved a lot.
Seeing Peach Blossom like this, he hurriedly got out of bed and helped Peach Blossom to the bed. Then he took out his embroidered handkerchief, wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead, and hurried out of the room.
"Mother, mother!"
Liniang's steps were a little messy, and she thought that her body was already healed, but she couldn't use her strength at all at this time. I could only stand at the door of my room, calling weakly.
"Li Niang, what's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable that wants to call you mother-in-law? Don't worry, I'll call it for you! ”
The people outside the gate saw Liniang standing at the door uncomfortably, and saw that the peach blossom was pale before, sweating at the corners of her forehead, and looked sick, so she hurriedly stepped forward with concern, just taking this opportunity to inquire about the situation inside.
As soon as these words fell, the people ran to the door of the hall, first looked around, and didn't see what the people inside said, but saw the people present at the Liu family smiling, and secretly said in their hearts, they must have made a lot of money.
"Peach Blossom Niang, Li Niang is standing at the door and calling you, I don't seem to be in a very good body. I saw the pallor of the peach blossom just now, I'm afraid I'm sick again. ”
Liu, who was originally extremely excited, heard this, his face suddenly brushed down, and he ran towards Li Niang's room with a worried face. At the same time, he didn't forget to tell Erlang: "Hurry, go and invite the car doctor!" ”
During this period of peach blossom, because of the relationship between Ganoderma lucidum, he has not been sick for a long time. On weekdays, their faces are also ruddy, and the people in their family are about to forget the body of the sick seedlings of the peach blossoms.
"Well, I'll go. Dad, you and Yiyi are here to accompany you big brothers, and I'll go first. After Erlang finished speaking, he glanced apologetically at the three people present.
Du Yi was anxious to know how Peach Blossom was now. But she also understands that it is useless for her to go over now, so she can only send these people away first.
took Liu Dazhu and the three people present and went to the place where she stored the wine. When she first made the urn, she bought it was the same size. The wine of each urn is the same height, and Yu Ziheng and He Chao are very well divided.
And when these two people came, they had already considered that the Liu family was in the countryside and definitely didn't have a big name, so when they came, they all prepared these things.
