Chapter 176: Uninvited Guest
On the afternoon of the second day, Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong announced the list of 30 students who were selected to study with Xiao Qiongzhi and the county school next year for all the children who came to class. Want-free-fee-watch-end-full-edition-please-hundred-degree-search-
Among them, Zhoujia Village accounts for 12 people, Da Niu, Shishan, Lizi, Xijun, Xijun, Dog, and Shishi.
After their parents learned the news, they all sent 50 catties of Huaishan to show their gratitude.
Xiao Qiongzhi considered that everyone has this thing at home, and when everyone goes to county school next year, the living expenses of thirty people for a year are quite a lot, so they are not polite, and they all accept it.
The next day, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong took Xiao Qiongzhi to the township to buy New Year's goods.
What sesame sugar, halva, fragrant chips, twist flowers, melon seeds, peanuts, red dates, longan, lotus seeds, osmanthus cakes, hibiscus cakes and other candies and dried fruits, I bought a total of forty or fifty catties.
What mutton, beef, dog meat, donkey meat, pork and other meat, they also bought about ten catties each.
In the end, I also bought 50 catties of rice, 20 catties of flour, 20 catties of glutinous rice, and 50 catties of soybeans.
It's a big purchase.
When they returned home, Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu immediately put everything in place, and then, with the help of Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong, they grinded soybeans together, and a few days ago, they peeled the shells and soaked the mountain chestnuts in water for six or seven days.
He also beat a wooden bucket of wild eggs that he had saved at home for nearly a month.
In the end, more than 30 catties of dried fairy tofu and more than 200 catties of immortal tofu were made; more than 200 catties of sun tofu; and more than 30 catties of dried tofu and more than 200 catties of tofu.
Xiao Qiongzhi took out twenty catties of dried immortal tofu and one hundred and fifty catties of immortal tofu; 200 catties of sun tofu; Twenty catties of dried tofu and one hundred and fifty catties of tofu, let Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong pick them up at the patriarch Zhou Yuandong's house and distribute them to the clansmen in the village.
In order to avoid everyone being embarrassed to accept it, she also specially proposed to Zhou Yuandong that when everyone receives these things, they can consider giving each of them ten catties of Huaishan or ten catties of mountain chestnuts.
Unexpectedly, the result was that each household sent twenty catties of Huai Mountain and twenty catties of mountain chestnuts.
Xiao Qiongzhi still accepted it unceremoniously this time.
Mainly, she is a little worried that Zheng Bang will use the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year to give her grandfather the opportunity to give a banquet to all relatives within five suits, and when she presents Tai Sui meat to her grandfather in public, she may not be able to regain her grandfather's trust and restore her identity.
After all, Wei Feng is now the most trusted person by her grandfather, and it is certain that he will be in the way of it when the time comes.
For example, if most of her relatives within five suits were bought by Wei Feng and couldn't stand up and support Zheng Bang - or her father behind Zheng Bang, then Zheng Bang has little chance of regaining the trust of her grandfather and recovering his identity.
On the contrary, Zheng Bang himself may be in danger.
And without his help, Xiao Qiongzhi lacks other people around him who can really be used, at least next year, there will be no good opportunity to fight wild boars, wolves, and tigers in exchange for money, and he can only rely on selling fairy tofu and sun tofu to make money.
Moreover, the sales right of Sun Tofu in Dingzi County has been bought out by the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen, and the sales right of Immortal Tofu in Dingzi County is likely to be bought out by the shopkeeper of the rich family.
The money from the daily sales of sun tofu and fairy tofu to them is enough to maintain the basic expenses of daily life, but it will be difficult to save money.
Only in other counties and prefectures other than Dingzi County, can we have more opportunities to save money by opening chain stores of Xianren Tofu and Sun Tofu.
At that time, the selection, training, and arrangement of the store opening personnel are in place, as well as the smooth operation of the chain store, without Zheng Bang's help, it will not be so easy to successfully complete.
At noon, the family had just eaten lunch, and outside the courtyard, there was a sudden noise of horses' hooves, a hurried knock on the door, and a familiar door: "Little princess Zhi'er, come and open the door!" Prince Ben has arrived! ”
Xiao Qiongzhi heard that this was the voice of Prince Nanliang Kun, and hurriedly ran from the main house to the courtyard accompanied by Zheng Bang and opened the door for him.
Unexpectedly, outside the door, in addition to standing Prince Kun, he also stood Dream Back and Prince Qiu.
Among them, Qiu Yuandan beside Prince Kun, Qin Feng beside Prince Qiu, Yao Ping and Yu Long by Menghui's side, and the other three guards who had seen in Xiaoqiong Village last time were all there, they did not come empty-handed, and they all carried a load of New Year's goods on their shoulders.
It looks like I'm here to pay a New Year's greeting in advance.
However, they were originally fishing Tai Sui in Baibao Lake, and suddenly on the day of the New Year, they didn't fish Tai Sui, and they came to pay New Year's greetings to their own family who were not very familiar with them, which was really weird.
Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at Prince Kun, Prince Qiu, and Dream Huihui, and asked them curiously: "His Royal Highness Prince Kun, His Royal Highness Prince Qiu, and Huihuijun, who are you?" ”
"Hehe, we have been coming to your house under my strong request to spend the New Year with you and the big hero, how about it, surprised, welcome?" Prince Kun immediately said with a smile.
He is the youngest of the three, and he knows Xiao Qiongzhi behind Prince Qiu, but Xiao Qiongzhi calls him alone, which makes him feel that Xiao Qiongzhi is with him, closer than with Prince Qiu and Menghui, and he has face.
"Haha, very pleasantly surprised and welcome! Everyone, please come in. Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly smiled happily.
But I wondered even more.
When they entered the main house with them, Chu Yunniang, Zhou Dayong, Liu Wuxiu, Gouzi, and Shi were also a little puzzled when they saw them.
Menghui also pointed to Qin Feng, Qiu Yuandan, Yao Ping, and Yu Long, and told Xiao Qiongzhi: "Zhi'er, the New Year's goods they picked up are a little bit of my heart with Prince Kun and Prince Qiu, you let your family accept it first." ”
"Why are you buying so many things? That's so kind. Xiao Qiongzhi said this, but in fact he was not ambiguous, and motioned to Zheng Bang, Zhou Dayong, and Liu Wuxiu to put these things away.
A few of them were not ambiguous and immediately did so.
Chu Yunniang quickly grabbed all kinds of candy and dried fruits from the lime jar in the corner, set up a large tea tray, and put it on the table to entertain Prince Kun, Prince Qiu, Menghui and others.
Xiao Qiongzhi took the opportunity to remind her: "Mother, it's cold now, His Royal Highness Prince Kun, His Royal Highness Prince Qiu, and all of them return to the monarch, when they come over, they must have a lot of cold on their bodies, you go to the kitchen to boil some boiling water, soak a few bowls of ginger soup, and give them to drink." ”
"Okay." Chu Yunniang hurriedly did so.
After she left, Xiao Qiongzhi turned her head to look at Prince Kun, Prince Qiu, Menghuihuan and others, and said with a smile: "Our family went to the township today to make a big purchase, there are a lot of delicious food, if you are not busy, you can have dinner at my house before leaving." ”
