But when the hawthorn sauce came up with the bread, Yu Ziheng's complexion changed again and again, and finally he said before he tasted it: "Miss Yiyi, this thing is still kept by herself, this thing, Yu someone still doesn't participate." It's equivalent to someone taking care of the matter at hand, and then take a look! ”

He didn't have any appetite just by smelling the sweet and sour smell, let alone cooperate.

When Du Yi saw his reaction, he remembered Erlang and Liu Dazhu. They are the same, in order to match this hawthorn sauce, she specially made a sealed stove. The stove was somewhat similar to today's microwave ovens, except that it was made of clay. When the stove is ready, the bread is made and eaten with hawthorn sauce.

Du Yi ate it with relish, and Liu liked it very much. Even Xiaohuzi and others were very face-saving and shouted that it was delicious. Only after Erlang and Liu Dazhu came back, they took a bite of hawthorn sauce and refused to eat it again. At that time, Du Yi hadn't thought so much about why, but now when he saw Yu Ziheng like this, he guessed seven or eight points.

"Boss Yu doesn't like this sweet and sour thing?" If that's the case, she's not reluctant. This hawthorn sauce can be stored for a long time, and when the time comes, after the New Year, she will go to the town to buy a shop, and she will specialize in making these things when she turns around.

The more Du Yi thinks about it, the more feasible it is, and sells some small snacks on weekdays, this hawthorn sauce, bread are all women and children like to eat, plus desserts too. When the weather is hot, you can also have both shaved ice and popsicles, both of which are available. At the same time, the fruits produced in their own orchards can also be consumed by themselves.

Seeing Yu Ziheng nodding awkwardly, Du Yi just smiled and didn't force it too much. However, thinking of the matter of selling the shop, Du Yi pondered for a while, and then said, "What is the situation of the money village now?" I want to borrow some silver! ”

When Yu Ziheng heard Du Yi's words and talked about the loan, his eyes lit up. He had just tasted the sweetness here, and now he wished that someone would take out a loan from him, so when he heard Du Yi's words, he couldn't care why Du Yi had his own money, so why he didn't use it to buy a shop, but asked for a loan to buy it.

"I don't know how much Miss Yiyi wants to borrow, what collateral to use, and how long do you want to borrow?" When he said this, he pondered the terraces of Doy. At present, Dui can handle this as well.

If Doe used this, he would be very happy. Looking at the entire Ziyang Country, it is just such a terrace, or a terrace with a high yield, why doesn't he want it. Counting up, there are hundreds of acres of paddy fields, and those fields alone are converted into more than 1,000 taels of silver.

"Boss Yu doesn't think it's most appropriate to go to Qianzhuang to talk about things like this?" Doe wasn't stupid enough to talk about the loan in his study. Although she Du Yi is one of the shareholders of the bank, the money bank is not profitable, and she needs money urgently, so she can only take this road.

The shops in the town, she had noticed before, the ones with a better yard in the back, one cost three to five hundred taels, of course, it was usually a second courtyard. If you buy a small point, the price will be much lower if the position is a little worse.

But when the price is over the New Year, she will inquire when she gets it. She pondered that when she went to open a shop in the town, first of all, the people in the yamen had to take care of it, otherwise her shop would be uncovered and prone to accidents. Second, I heard that the one in the yamen is notoriously greedy, and if he is targeted, he won't be able to stay in the town.

But this dot, that dot, in such a circle, there is no big dozens of taels of silver can't be beaten. In addition, if you buy a good shop and decorate the store, I am afraid that it will not be possible without six or seven hundred taels.

Now she doesn't have much money in her hands, and at the end of the year, she will give dividends to those stewards. Even if she is warm and makes money, but a few hundred taels at once, when will she have to earn it? This year, Mangosteen has no money, the down jacket is not done, the small shop was originally a small profit, but now the business is not good, the greenhouse has just begun, and the wine is pressed again. She didn't dare to spend the little silver she had left.

The more Du Yi thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, according to her expectations, by now, she had to have at least five or six hundred taels of silver in her hands. But now there is nothing but the money I used to buy ducks and eggs, and the money for fish.

"Well, let's talk about it sometime before the end of the year. Oh, I forgot to say something, I said, next time if there are only these three words, you must be prepared! After Yu Ziheng said this, he went out with Xiao Shuai in his arms with a smile, no matter what Du Yi's expression was, in short, he was in a good mood.

Du Yi didn't understand the meaning of those words, which meant that Ziheng had been gone for a long time, and then he remembered the letter she replied to. I saw her pouting and muttering, "You don't only have four words, why can't I reply to three." ”

The next day, Du Yi prepared all the wine from the fifty altars, and when Yu Ziheng saw the so-called altars, he couldn't help but have black lines on his head.

"Dare to ask Miss Yiyi, how many catties do you have in this altar?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Ziheng's words, Du Yi rolled his eyes: "It's a lot, this altar has fifteen catties." That's seven hundred and fifty pounds, do you know how much silver I have to sell for so many pounds? This is all white silver, and it is all given for free, how distressed am I? ”

Thinking of her poor Ringbell, and she was ready to take out a loan, these were all equivalent to four or five hundred taels of silver, could she not feel distressed?

"Why don't you want to think about it, after the end of the year, you have to earn it back several times, what is such a little thing at that time!"

"Boss Yu really likes to joke, it's nothing in your eyes, but for a little girl, it's a lot of money. Although there is a lot of brewing this year, I can't afford to take hundreds of pounds of you at every turn. In addition, what I want to say is, doesn't Boss Yu know that scarcity is expensive? ”

In Du Yi's idea, since it is to be used at the palace banquet, it should be used by a small number of dignitaries. In this way, others will think that this wine is precious, which arouses the curiosity of most people, and in the end only she has it, and she can shout as much as she wants. Anyway, she is not afraid, in the capital, isn't there still Ziyi City covered?

Thinking of this, Doe's mind flashed. Since Zi Yicheng can cover her, then she will go to the yamen to do something. Directly let him say a word, press the dog official, and she can save a lot of silver.

Yu Ziheng looked at Du Yi's posture, and then looked at the people in this family, and also remembered that Du Yi might not have done so much. Now that He Cao's family has not come to get the wine, Du Yi's family has limited manpower, and last year there was very little wine, and even if there is more this year, it will not be much, so it is not difficult.

"Help me bring him a word, just say I'm going to open a shop, so that the dog official in the town will keep his eyes open and know who he can't mess with. Also, I can't forget what he promised to cover me. Plus here's the clothes I made for him, and the letter! ”

"The guy in town, I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry. I'll bring you the rest of the stuff. I want to make the clothes as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will send a steward to fetch it, and when the time comes, I will give the money by piece. ”

After Yu Ziheng said this, he left with his things. After the others disappeared, Du Yi patted his head: "I have nothing to do with clothes, isn't it obvious, so that he thinks I'm interesting to him?" ”

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is the beginning of the lunar month in a blink of an eye, seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to begin, Du Yi began to prepare for the distribution of food to the people of Liujia Village, after all, she promised the village chief at the beginning.

"Yiyi, it's cold outside, don't go out!" There were scattered snowflakes floating in the sky, and I felt panicked when I took a breath.

"Mother, you should know what I mean, I'm really going to do this today!" Du Yi knew that in this era, a person's reputation was very important, and she was grateful to the people of Liujia Village for the help they gave her this year. Second, taking this opportunity to win a good reputation will be of great help to her when she returns to Du Mansion in the future.

Liu didn't think about it so much, but when Du Yi said it, she understood. Instead, he nodded and said to Du Yi: "In this case, you wear thicker, and my mother will let Brother Zhao accompany you." There are a lot of things at home now, so my mother won't go! ”

The closer the Chinese New Year gets, the more trivial things there are at home, and Liu can't be busy for a while.

Doe didn't speak, but nodded. I saw her wearing a down jacket, a hat, a mask on her face, and her hands in a homemade warm baby, and went out. Of course, the younger brother behind her is also dressed up like her.

"Sister Yiyi, don't say it, this thing really works." Zhao's younger brother is poor, and as the eldest daughter, she still washes her clothes with cold water in winter. Therefore, when her hands were cold, they developed frostbite.

Last year, Du Yi had already noticed it, but at that time, he asked his younger brother to boil hot water to wash, and took medicine from Dr. Che to soak her hands. In late winter this year, Zhaodi's hands began to develop frostbite again, which made Du Yi feel distressed.

The hand is a woman's second face. Since Da Duyi saw that Zhao Di had frostbite again this year, he didn't let her touch the water. Now the laundry and cooking at home are all done by Bai Mei Ziding. In addition to occasionally sweeping the yard, Zhao Di is to help bring Xiaoshuai and Xiaobao.

A few days ago, Doy made scarves, masks and gloves to warm the baby. This is the first time to use Brother Zhao, and when her hand touches the warm baby, her face is filled with a happy smile.

As soon as the frostbitten hands are warm, they are prone to itching. Du Yi turned his head, just in time to see a flash of patience in her eyes, and asked, "But that hand is uncomfortable?" My master's medicine, are you still using it? ”

Doe understands that once you have chilblains, it is difficult to cure them. Otherwise, how could those hands be drugged last year, and how could they relapse this year?

"Well, I use it every day. Peach Blossom whispers in her ear every day, if these hands are not good this year, she will not be good with me! Brother Zhao had a bitter expression on his face. Her hand, she also thinks about it, but it's not like she can think about it.

Du Yi smiled, then stopped answering, and changed the conversation: "Your grandma has any opinions about you living in my house for this time?" ”

Zhaodi's family is still not separated, but this year, under pressure, her aunt started to do some work, but she is often lazy. Brother Zhao's grandmother turned a blind eye and bluffed her life.

Now that Zhaodi's family can make money, she still has to rely on it, which also makes Zhaodi's mother more or less hard. As soon as her grandmother talked about her son's end of the household, they shouted that they wanted to split up, which would save her old man's eyes.

"No, how dare my grandma say anything about me, as long as I give her the monthly salary every month."

Brother Zhao also wants to divide the family quickly, and then their family will be able to build a big house, and the four sisters and their father and mother will be able to have one room for each person, instead of so many people crowded together like now.

Her mother will secretly hide some silver now, but she can't let her grandma know about it. It's not that they didn't want to ask her grandma to take out the money to build a house, but as soon as she mentioned this, her grandma was going to die or live, either this pain or that pain. In short, when it comes to the silver in her hand, there is no reason to go out.

The sisters in the family grew up, and the younger brother lived in Duyi's house, and the younger brother lived in a small shop. The bed at home is just enough for Brother Pan and Brother Xi. Every time I recruit my brother home, the sisters have to huddle together. Every time I saw my sisters huddled together, Brother Zhao felt very aggrieved.

"Have you hidden all the private money you have hidden? After the New Year, you will also be sixteen, and it is time to think about yourself. ”

Du Yi's cheeks were flushed, but fortunately he was wearing a mask, so people couldn't see it clearly.

"Sixteen is nothing, my grandma would like to keep me for a few more years so that she can earn money." When Brother Zhao said this, there was a trace of disdain on his face. Her grandma is the most selfish, don't think you don't know what she's thinking.

"But you want to get married? If you want to get married, I'll find one for you when the time comes! Du Yi couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw his brother's generous appearance.

Brother Zhao glanced at Du Yi quickly, and then lowered his head. But if you look closely, you'll see that the roots of her ears are slightly red. Coincidentally, Du Yi has been watching her, and these changes in her dare to fall in Du Yi's eyes.

"Why, but there's a target? Who is it, do I know? Was it your mother who introduced you to it? Doy asked one question after another, and a hint of gossip flashed in his eyes. This recruit brother is either in the Liu family or in her own home, when did she have a partner, why didn't she know?

Brother Zhao's ears became redder, and under Du Yi's ridicule, he simply straightened his waist and said confidently: "A few days ago, Aunt Su went to my house to propose marriage!" ”

Du Yi didn't react for a while, who was this Aunt Su, so he asked, "Whose house is that?" ”

Brother Zhao thought that Du Yi was deliberately pretending to be stupid and laughing at her, but she stomped her feet, sneered, and walked straight in front of Du Yi. Just when Du Yi was still confused, an embarrassed sentence floated in front of him: "Sister Yiyi, just laugh at me, hum!" At that time, they came to propose marriage to their aunt, and when they set the peach blossoms, they didn't see you like this. Sister Yiyi, you're so bad! ”

Du Yi can be regarded as understanding, dare to love is the future mother-in-law of Peach Blossom, Su Shi! The Golden Bull and the Silver Bull got married, and the Iron Bull and the Peach Blossom got married. If you go to recruit your brother's house to propose, there will be only one copper bull left.

It's just that Du Yi thinks it's very strange, why the copper bull is the smallest, according to the relationship between gold, silver, copper and iron, the iron bull should be the eldest one, how can it become the third one, but the copper bull is the eldest.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to mess with you. So what does your father think, what about yourself? "If it's a copper bull, it's okay, it's all in the same village, and you know the roots. Tongniu is a good young man, and he is also diligent in his hands and feet, and if he is paired with Zhaodi, it is also good. Besides, Peach Blossom and Brother Zhao have a good relationship, if the two become concubines, there is no need to worry about this relationship.

Brother Zhao's pace slowed down again, and he gradually walked side by side with Du Yi: "My father thinks it's good, but my mother thinks that Aunt Su is a powerful person, and she doesn't want me to suffer my mother-in-law's losses like my mother in the future." My mother's meaning, I want to see if there is a better candidate. ”

"And what do you think of it yourself?" It is also important to recruit your own ideas. The Su family's side is easy to solve, the big deal is the same as the peach blossom, just let the copper bull go out.
